SOCIAL MEDIA, PHIL YANOV STYLE

You'll enjoy tomorrow morning's presentation by Phil Yanov: HOWL RIGHT: A GUIDE TO CALLING THE WOLVES AND MAKING THEM YOUR PACK.

In his keynote address, Phil Yanov, founder and Executive Director of the GSA Technology Council (http://www.gsatc.org/), will talk about how social media's role harnessing the "power of the pack."

People are social animals and are instinctively drawn into groups. When they do gather, leaders emerge, but it's not by accident. Groups can be pulled together, given meaning and purpose, and used to accomplish things they might never do on their own. That is the power of the pack, and that capability alone is why we are drawn to act as a team. The techniques used for calling the wolves, selecting significant goals, and taking those goals down are powerful and their workings are mysterious. The techniques can be learned, however, and even mastered. Those powerful techniques are available to and can be used to great effect by anyone willing to howl at the moon.
