As a Black Diamond Consultant with the Social Media Academy I am one of the great line up of  speakers with Catherine Sherwood and Axel Schultze to talk about the NCP Model. Networking, contribution and participation are critical to the social ecosystem and the Social Media Academy teaches a particular process for assessment and the NCP model.

If you have been following my blog, I have employed a NCP model for contributing and reporting on blogs.  I call it Thoughts on Blogs. I collect comments I post from blogs that I follow or which have posts of interest to my particular focus.

Please join us on Friday  January 22, at 1 pm CST time for this lively presentation.  If you can’t make the presentation I have posted the slides on my slideshare account and here as well.  I talk specifically about an example for a professional services firm and one for a manufacturer.
