What we discussed
We covered a bit of territory. Topics we discussed included:
- How and why Jennifer got into change management
- The challenge for today’s corporate leaders in how they lead change.
- The book – writing, publishing and marketing it
- The fascinating (for me) “Adventures” framework, different ways of navigating through change, which Jennifer created for the book
- Starting with the end in mind and also being open to unanticipated developments
- In-house resources vs hiring in
- Fads in change management & how to tell useful ones from the sprinkling of fairy dust
- Future of Work methodologies
- Feedback from readers and brown paper parcels (you have to listen for this, no spoiler here)
- The crucial importance of leadership for any change process
A couple of gems
Before the book was written:
My most frequent request on my website goes along the lines of “Help! I’ve just been put in charge of leading this major organisational change…and I don’t know where to start. I’ve got onto Google and i’m so confused”.
Änd later in the conversation:
If you go onto Google, or Amazon, to look for guidance in change management, you’re going to be guided by those who have the best SEO.
Get the Book!
I thought I knew a fair bit about change, before I read the book. Then I discovered how much more there was to learn! As the blurb on the book and website says: A “must read” for those new to change, a “should read” for those who want to improve how they do it.

| Blockchain transforming social media | Social media policies | Twitter’s new 280 limit impact: Social Business Bites #170 |
2017-11-30 22:36:09-05
You might not wake up every morning thinking “Gee, I must find out more about blockchain“. Then again, maybe you do! Either way, because you are into social business, I reckon you will find the article featured here tantalizing, both in what it says and in the deeper implications.
Then there is a timely alert to keep company social media policies current: maybe you wrote one for one or more companies once and if so you might score a gig or three work updating that earlier work? And from some testing it seems that Twitter’s doubling the old 140 character limit could be a win-win for Twitter and users.
And the Latest from the Podcast feature is back – which means I’ve got out of my own way enough to be podcasting again. Change Management expert and author Jen Frahm is my guest (again) and feedback so far has been super positive.

Blockchain is a technology that gives prime importance to security and privacy of information (a feature that was lacking in traditional social media). This is probably one of the main reasons why several social media applications are already leveraging it.
Thea Joselow
Along with today’s more evolved and ubiquitous use of social media, we have to create and commit to more evolved policies and treat employees like the adults we trust them to be. “Don’t” doesn’t cut it. A good policy has to be clear, consistently enforced, and loathe to interfere in the personal lives and accounts of employees.
Anumeha Chaturvedi
In September, Twitter had launched a test that expanded the 140 character limit to enable every person around the world to express themselves easily in a tweet.
During the first few days of the test, many people Tweeted the full 280 limit because it was new and novel, but soon after, the behavior normalized, it stated. Twitter saw when people needed to use more than 140 characters, they Tweeted more easily and more often.

| Social Media Facts for 2018 | Americans Sharing Key Events on Social | Facebook Page Changes :: Social Business Bites #171 |
2018-01-14 22:00:08-05
Happy New Year, dear reader. First off, I want to welcome new subscribers, noting you could be excused for wondering what happened to the newsletter you signed up to receive. Because this is the first issue since the end of November last year.
By way of explanation and partial excuse, on December 2 I headed off to Colombo, Sri Lanka, to deliver a keynote at a conference there. That went well, and so did I for a couple of days, then came home with a very debilitating influenza A, which knocked me out for a good two weeks – then I had a recuperative vacation. But now I am back and rearing to go.
In this issue, first a nice chewy bite with some facts and figures for 2018 on the key social networks for business. Then, perhaps confirming what some suspected, a post on the implications for brands and marketing from a survey showing social networks are the preferred medium for a majority of Americans announcing important life events. And finally, an informed, thoughtful look at the implications of Facebook’s latest limiting of the reach of (business) pages in favor of personal profiles. Happy reading!

Publishers have long seen it coming, and Facebook has made no secret about it, but now The Social Network has confirmed that they’ll be making concerted moves to show users more posts from people they know – and fewer posts from Pages.
Laser Coaching – Special New Year, One-off Offer
Would you like support in clarifying your opportunities, challenges and goals for the year ahead? Consider a laser coaching session to drill down rapidly to what you really know and desire for a great year.
Laser coaching works on the principle that there is a truth in every situation, a truth that may not always be obvious. Laser coaching brings that truth to the surface and supports the process of facing it square on, and then deciding on appropriate action. When describing the laser coaching process, coaches often quote the saying “The truth will set you free – but it may piss you off in the process”.
For one week only, till midnight January 25th (US Pacific time), I’m offering a “two for the price of one”, that is, an additional, bonus (i.e. free!) session to be taken up any time between now and December 31, 2018.
If you are ready to get the clarity you need to be able to take decisive action, check out my laser coaching service at this link, then – if it’s for you – grab a time and date to suit and we’ll go from there.
