What does it take to integrate social media into your business process? Volunteers on 4 teams supporting 4 nonprofits took on the mission to find out when they joined The Change Challenge.

The Change Challenge was conceived by Sherry Heyl as a 6-month project that would provide nonprofits with a sustainable social media strategy while providing volunteers hands-on training with skill sets that are in demand.

The CXO Forum will host a panel discussion with members from each team to discuss how they set measurable goals, assigned tasks, managed the various training needs as well as how they guided their nonprofit clients through the change management process.

Following the panel will be a Q&A session with Jim Krall, Director of E-Commerce for Aaron's, Inc., where we will discuss how these principles laid out by the panelists can be applied to your corporate social strategy.

A great deal of conversations are being had around aligning technology and business strategies. Specifically, defining success, evaluating structure/ processes and aligning resources. We will be gathering questions from the group over the next few weeks in order to have our experienced panel address. We look forward to seeing you there!

On October 20th, the Georgia CxO Forum will be holding its Q4, 2011 meeting. After the normal breakfast, coffee, and networking, our all-star panel will be discussing the process and benefits of executive networking and how it has supported their careers.
