The collective public opinion of your organization influences investors, employees, activist groups, and your customers. Social networking and user-generated content have changed how opinions evolve and are shared. At the same time, companies are faced with an overload of information and opinions, making it increasingly difficult to filter through the clutter to identify the key actors, issues, and trends that impact reputation, brand, and the social license to operate.
 
Learn how new technologies can help your company fully understand who its stakeholders are and what they’re saying. Eric Steedman will explain his innovative and advanced data mining approaches and Actor-Network Theory (ANT) can help you understand the blogosphere and other social media channels with scientific accuracy.
 
Stuart Lister will discuss the impact of social media on stakeholder engagement and how to develop a meaningful response strategy.
