Julien Coualan's curator insight, June 10, 1:27 PM

Le métier de recruteur évolue, les méthodes de sourcing aussi. La simple action qui consiste à "pusher" ses offres sur les jobboards ne suffit plus. Pour un sourcing efficace à moyen et long terme, pour capter les candidats de demain, l'utilisation des réseaux sociaux pro ou non, la créatio et la gestion de comunnautés dédiées s'avèrent indispensable.

Your Network: Professional Context vs. Personal Context

Your Network: Professional Context vs. Personal Context | Social Knowledge | Scoop.it

What Reid Hoffman writes in this post might be obvious to some but it's a fundamental point I see others overlook more often than not. Context is really important both in real life and on social media.

If you extend that train of thought, you realize that the topic you're addressing also changes the context. Which is why bringing curation with the right context under a topic-centric model is so important.

The Red Queen Effect in Marketing

The Red Queen Effect in Marketing | Social Knowledge | Scoop.it

In the well-known race scene in Lewis Carroll’s classic Through the Looking-Glass, the Red Queen tells Alice, “It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.”

Given the pace and pervasiveness of change happening everywhere around us — in technology, in culture, in business, in consumer behaviors and expectations, in media and more — I’d imagine that many marketers feel like they’re racing alongside the Red Queen in Looking-Glass world. Writing and rewriting marketing plans in a constant state of flux. Favoring near term wins over long term value. Adopting agile approaches from IT brethren. Darting from shiny object to shiny object. Whipping around flavor-of-the-moment blind spots only to stumble over competitors also turning the same corner. Jumping through hoops thrown across their paths by customers and by their own C-suite executives. Busy busy busy. It’s exhausting work and ultimately gets you nowhere. Fast.

Telling Stories with Maps | Esri Insider

Telling Stories with Maps | Esri Insider | Social Knowledge | Scoop.it

"So where do maps fit in the storytelling realm? I recently spoke with Allen Carroll, who left National Geographic about a year ago and is now ArcGIS Online Content Program Manager at Esri, about Story Maps—a new initiative he’s working on with David Asbury, Lee Bock, and Stephen Sylvia to integrate storytelling and maps."

 

Can you tell stories with maps? Yes you can!

 

OK -- I love maps. I'm a geographer at heart. I love reading them and finding all the tiniest back roads to travel.

 

Here is a terrific interview with Exec. VP & Chief Cartographer at National Geographic Maps about their story and map initiative. He explains what they are doing and how storytelling through maps can happen. It is another creative twist on visual storytelling and infographics.

 

Even better, check out this link for actual examples: http://storymaps.esri.com/home/ ;

 

Is it classic traditional storytelling? Well.....it's kind of borderline. But does it work? Oftentimes yes.

 

Now what the heck can this do for a business? Well, think about your biz stories and how they could be charted on a map. Add a map to your About Page to visually represent your journey. Add a map to your Founding Story so we can see it visually.

 

I bet you will come up with several more ideas!

 

Go read the article and check out the examples and let me know which ones you like best :)

Here are the best articles from across the web that I can find on using stories and storytelling in business.

I've chosen them because they actually make a contribution to our knowledge and wisdom about stories, show us how to apply stories to growing our businesses, or give valuable how-to tips.

 

I weed out all the junk. And besides, who needs another post in why storytelling is important?? Where's the beef?? We want the meat!

 

I've written reviews of each article to share what I like best, what you can get from reading the article, or what may be missing in the article.

 

How To Find A Topic: Click on the Filter tab above, and type in a keyword. All the articles with that keyword will appear.

 

I may occassionally review an article that I think is problematic as a way to educate us all, although most I will simply pass over.  If you wonder if I've seen an article that is not included here, send me a message and I'll respond.

After doing biz story work for over a decade (and with a PhD in Folklore) I hope you find many great insights and tips here. Many thanks for visiting and enjoy the articles!

"One of Scoop.it’s intriguing aspects is being organized around topics as opposed to the people doing the curation. This differentiates the site from Facebook and Twitter, and it also seems to be resulting in a more professional look and feel – more of a LinkedIn in that sense, than a personal network" writes David Weir on 7x7 reviewing Scoop.it and developing on how it differentiates from other publishing platforms.

Something Startling This Way Comes -- The Role of Wonder in Biz Stories

Something Startling This Way Comes -- The Role of Wonder in Biz Stories | Social Knowledge | Scoop.it
This stage in story design is itself another face of wonder. Wonder is experiencing something anew. At first, wonder opens us to the moment, feeling suspended in time and space for a few seconds. Or a few months.

 

Wow -- what a gem of an article! I love love love it.  It's perspective is unique, different and so right on.

 

The author, Jeffery Davis, tackles the emotion of wonder and how critical it is for 'storytellers and business artists' (that's us, BTW) to understand it, and build it into our organizational stories.

 

Awesome!

 

Davis does a great job explaining 2 types of wonder and how they relate to business and business storytelling. He talks about why working with wonder is important, and then goes on to suggest how we can bring wonder into the stories we share.

 

Run -- don't walk -- to read this significant piece. You will be glad you did!

Strategic Story and The Storytelling Leader

Strategic Story and The Storytelling Leader | Social Knowledge | Scoop.it

"Because of my 10-years of involvement with Storytelling, I have had great opportunities to learn more about the engaging concepts of story, how to construct them, and how to deliver them."

 

The author, Jeff Brunson, is married to Becky Brunson who is the Program Administrator for the International Storytelling Center. Here he writes a delightful piece with gold nuggets at the end. His insights toward the bottom of his article are a perfect counterpoint to the article I just curated on how to persuade people to take action with your stories: http://www.scoop.it/t/just-story-it?q=examiner 

 

Jim's storytelling principles are at the heart of effective business storytelling:

The Story Is Told for Another The Story is Toid In Search of a Truth The Story is Told Because you Care for the Hearer

 

Now what would happen if our business storytelling, brand stories, and marketing stories not only moved people to action, but met these criteria also? 

 

Well, for one -- you'd avoid all those feelings of manipulation.

And second -- your storytelling would be truly great work

 

For me, these are the business storytelling principles to aspire to! Read both articles and learn the dance of balancing these principles with persuasion / influence.


Thank you Hans Heesterbeek and Gregg Morris for originally finding and sharing this article!

How is Content Curation helping Professionals? Where is it evolving to? The Friday Hangout

Guillaume, our CEO & Co-Founder, was invited to the Friday Hangout this morning with Janet Fouts and Steve Farnsworth. Both are strong Social Media experts and have seen many trends: Steve is a Forbes Top 50 Social Media Influencer and Janet started online communities back in the 90's before starting her own consulting practice. 

 

They talked about the role Content Curation has for Social Media Marketing and how it will help social media evolve from the social graph to the interest graph, something key for professionals who tend to have niche long-tail interests.
