I saw a recent posting on LinkedIn in the CFMA Group that I thought was a great question, with more than a dozen people responding. All good stuff!
Job numbering ideas? | LinkedIn
In my opinion, discussions such as this belong in the CFMA Connection Cafe as well. Oftentimes, we ask (or are asked by) folks in our organization how or why to do something; to research best practices, to validate our own decisions or even provide us with a different perspective on how to do something. With 6,500 members, where else can you get expert advice or opinions from both your peers and in a case such as this, from those associate members who sell, install and service software particular to the construction industry.
Everyone has there own preferences regarding social media. Personally, I'm winning the battle with FaceBook; still don't have it, and for me, I'm not interested in having it anytime soon. I've got Twitter (@Joe_Burkett) and after an early infatuation, I'm not using it even on a weekly basis. I have had LinkedIn for the longest period of time, and probably check in there more frequently, but I'm not living either my professional or personal life through any of these social media vehicles, and I wonder whether it's because I'm "of a certain age" or because it doesn't help me on a daily basis perform my job responsibilities.
To me, The Connection Cafe is a place I go to see what's being talked about that may impact my work world. LinkedIn Groups can help there too.
What are you using for social media to stay current? What's helping you be better at what you do on a daily basis?
