Starting our Co-Op
Amber Naslund, community manager at Radian6 and blogger at Altitude Branding, shared a post today, Social Media is a Co-op. I like her way of thinking.
Two hours earlier, we were the discussing how our learning content at WhyHire.me has to evolve and develop through collaborative partnerships. We do not claim to be experts in everything related to our program. Our team offers great experience in teaching, marketing, coaching, communication tools & approaches and technology development but there are many other pieces to our training that we want to continue to develop and evolve, and we are looking for partners to assist.
So, from Amber’s perspective, I’m starting my co-op. Over the past few weeks, I have been anxiously awaiting Sue Murphy’s eBook, Creating Video for the Web: Tips, tricks and tools for telling amazing stories. Sue had been thinking of developing an eBook and we have been looking for some fresh and insightful content to share with our students on the subject of producing video for their profiles. Sue is making the content of her eBook available on her website at no charge.
This eBook will be a great new resource for our students. We hope to work with Sue in upcoming months to develop some customized content for our specific application and I will be putting together some new video assignments based on Sue’s content. The co-op starts.
As Amber Naslund states in her post;
“They’ll build social media like a co-op. Driven by a team united voluntarily, toward common goals, and equally invested in the outcomes.
Collaboration is not just a feel-good buzzword. It’s the idea that our business is built more efficiently through shared knowledge, and shared responsibility.”
I look forward to more collaborative work with Sue Murphy and others with specialties and knowledge that will make the teaching and approach of WhyHire.me more powerful and engaging for our students. We can’t do it alone. Well, I guess we could, but like Amber, I don’t think that makes the best product, service or experience for our customers.
