EWEEK – Despite the nagging recession, a new study found that 94 percent of enterprises plan to maintain or increase their investment in enterprise social media tools such as blogs, wikis and microblogging tools.

Deloitte, Beeline Labs and the Society for New Communications Research surveyed 400 companies that have cultivated internal social networks or online communities, finding that only 6 percent plan to decrease their investment in the recession. The communities surveyed ranged from fewer than 100 members to more than one million members.

Ed Moran, director of product innovation for consultancy Deloitte Services LP and one of the report authors, called the results counterintuitive in light of the recession, noting that while IT, marketing and public relations departments are being cut, companies continue to spend on social software for networking and collaboration.

Companies that go against the grain of belt-tightening by spending on social software underscore the importance of these tools, proving that they are not just a hip trend or fad in the enterprise.

PoorBest 

The challenges arising today – both local & global – are of unprecedented complexity and impact a broad variety of stakeholders. How can we address wisely and collaboratively the challenges we face in a way that solves for the whole?

Scott Spann will guide us through the innovative integral approach that made RE-AMP one of the most successful climate change collaborations in the US, sharing, through case studies, the principles, practices and processes that enable diverse groups of stakeholders to achieve shared understanding and agreement about their shared reality.

This is an opportunity to explore what‘s needed for solving our toughest problems and building relationships with other peers engaged in this work.

Please join us on Wed. April 14 when Scott Spann will be presenting the process that lies behind the success of RE-AMP - one of the most successful collaborative efforts in climate change in the US.

This presentation will open your mind to a collaborative methodology that can apply to complex multi stakeholder challenges you and your organization are working on. It will also be a great opportunity to meet with others engaged in the field.

To get the most out of this event, we suggest you take a look at the attached article and white paper, introducing you to Innate Strategies' methodology:
1. REAMP An Approach for Resolving Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Problems .
Abstract: Some things seem impossible. It especially seemed impossible to get a variety of stakeholders – all with different perspectives, different goals, different constituencies, different measures of success – to come to shared understanding and agreement about how to work together to achieve something completely new – something that would advance both the needs of each of the individuals and the collective as a whole. Yet, this is precisely what RE-AMP, conceived by Jennie Curtis and Rick Reed of the Garfield Foundation, set out to accomplish in 2004. Their pioneering effort with 24 utilities, regulators, foundations and NGO’s – catalyzed by their emergent goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 – has since grown to 120 organizations endorsed by 8 Midwestern governors and has made REAMP an active leader in the national climate change conversation.

2. Some things are impossible – until they’re not: Solving “intractable” Business & Social problems
Some things seem impossible. For us in our work, it especially seemed impossible to get a variety of stakeholders – all with different perspectives, different goals, different constituencies, different measures of success – to come to shared understanding and agreement about how to work together to achieve something completely new – something that would advance both the needs of each of the individuals and the collective as a whole. It seemed impossible in corporations, in communities, in non-profits, and in whole societies. And it was… until it wasn’t.
