Leadership Breakfasts

Young internet communications innovator Ross Hill from the Deloitte Innovation Team will take you on a breakfast journey of discovery into cyber space.

As a young, inspired entrepreneur he has been working on the web for over 10 years. His current ventures include “Yabble”, “Rentoid” and “The Hive”. You can find him on ‘Twitter’, ‘Flickr’ and, of course, ‘Facebook’….. and of course you well versed modern communicators know intimately about all these modern day tools….NOT!

After graduating from RMIT’s Entrepreneurship course Ross joined the Innovation Team at Deloitte in Melbourne. To quote Ross – “Many of my blog posts are written about what is happening the edges, and with edge cases there is always going to be a ‘yeah but’ and ‘that doesn’t work for most people’ but with an open mind these ideas can be very powerful.”

Here’s a sample of one of Ross’ communication tools of choice… “Yammer”

Yammer is like an internal discussion board where anybody can post a response to a message. It helps people exchange ideas and send real-time messages in small or large groups. The “enterprise-Twitter” can also help to break down departmental walls, flatten the communications structure of the organisation and help people get more done by being better connected. You might think of it as a backchannel that links all of the staff in the company.

A few value adds from “Yammer”:

• Collaborating to solve problems
• Discussing projects within Groups
• Sharing news and links
• Sharing event outcomes and highlights
• Connecting geographically isolated staff
• Finding local subject-matter experts
• Keeping updated with project progress
• Finding out when there is chocolate around the office.

Are internet communication options bogging you down? Are you are aware of what is at your computer fingertips? (are you taking note Baby Boomers?). Ross will inspire, educate and update you on the latest internet marketing, networking and intranet opportunities in his fresh engaging style.
