Three New Books by Scott Available Now: Enterprise Social Technology, The Velocity Manifesto, and The Manager’s Guide to Social Media

Enterprise Social Technology - Helping Organizations Harness the Power of Social Media, Social Networking, and Social Relevancy

Social technologies have exploded into the business world, yet are vastly misunderstood. Many organizations are either blocking their use, or simply experimenting with how they might be of benefit. Because tools like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn started with personal use, little has been done to holistically address how social tools can be fully integrated into an organization. In addition, most leaders have little idea what the full collection of capabilities is that exist under the social umbrella.

  • This book describes how these powerful new tools can be put to use.
  • Provides a twelve-step model for implementing social tech within any size of organization.
  • This process helps leaders instantly bring discipline to the chaos that is now exploding within organizations with the use of social tools.
  • It also provides measurable results that will easily convince the most skeptical executives as to the value of social technologies.
  • Scott Klososky has spent the last three years speaking about, and consulting with clients who are leveraging his industry leading ideas and concepts in the real world.

The Velocity Manifesto - Harnessing Technology, Vision and Culture to Future-Proof Your Organization

Many observers say that leadership skills are a fixed collection that has not changed for thousands of years. Scott Klososky strongly disagrees… In his book The Velocity Manifesto, three new categories of talents are demystified for leaders that desire to be relevant from this point forward. Traditional aspects of leadership are still needed, but without adding new skills to their inventory, most leaders will simply not. For a leader today to be successful three new skills must be added if they are to stay relevant and effective. Failure to add these skills can be disastrous for the organizations they run.

  • The first skill is a solid understanding of how technology can be leveraged to help an organization win.
  • Not every leader needs to be a technocrat, but each one must understand the underlying architectural concepts of how to assemble valuable digital plumbing.
  • The second is an ability to accurately predict how future dynamics will impact the organization.
  • Absent a clear vision of the future, there is no ability to lead others to achievement.
  • The final skill is an ability to migrate and construct an organizational culture that facilitates four different generations of workers with very different habits and strengths.
  • Without a culture that inspires a team, sophisticated technology and brilliant vision will be wasted.
  • The Velocity Manifesto delivers a new set of concepts and vocabulary that redefines what it means to lead.
