Social media remains both a new set of communication tools and something that organisations are still wary of. The risks around this communication method include: a lack of control over what is said about organisations and brands; defamation; identity theft; fraud and even negative things being said by employees.

 

Throughout this one-day connected forum, attendees will have the opportunity to gain insights into:

  • The crime and legal risks in organisational social media use
  • How to strategically avoid the risks to effectively utilise social media in the organisation
  • How to successfully manage important data in collaboration with social media use
  • How to develop and implement a social media policy for your organisation
