Speaker: Kwai Yu, Leaders Cafe 2020

Social Media. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a media tool that people can use to create and share their information, knowledge and insight and in so doing, perhaps to connect with others. To put it another way, it is a media tool to allow people to socialise what they know and in the conversation process create new relationships with others or improve existing relationships. If there is a rule for social media it is that it doesn't conform to any rules (but project management is full of rules!). Social media is tribal in nature in that it is transparent, open, dynamic and organic. It is a tool that can do great good as well as great bad. Whereas Project Management is steeped in the tradition of methodologies, processes and rules and is concerned with the disciplines listed here. These disciplines require lots of information, knowledge and insights to be communicated - to be 'socialised'. Cost Management, Time Management,Schedule Management, Change/Scope Management, Risk Management, Quality Management, Communications Management, Incident Management, Problem Management, People Management. 1. Should Project Managers use Web 2.0 and social media to create and share some of the information, knowledge and insight? 2. If yes, what do they need to think about? 3. Is social media simply for content creation and sharing? What about the social aspect, does it have a role to play in the wider engagement of project stakeholders. In this presentation, Kwai Yu, Founder of Leaders Cafe 2020, will share his experience of using social media and the lessons he's learnt. Kwai immersed himself fully in social media over the last 14 months in order to set up Leaders Cafe as a global social enterprise. His success is all the more astonishing because he has spent very little finance in creating a global presence. It has all been done using social media. Please join us to find out the remarkable story of how he used social media to project manage the creation of Leaders Cafe. Kwai Yu is the Founder of Leaders Cafe 2020 and the author of KNOWING. DOING. WINNING. He is a leadership philosopher and a social media enthusiast. He also had a long successful career in the IT industry delivering major IT programmes and projects, the last of which was a £42 million Pension Credit Programme for the Department for Work and Pension.
