Future Vision – House of Laudanum’s Breakfast Briefing Pendolino’s Restaurant & Café Level 2, The Strand Arcade, 412 – 414 George Street Sydney Wednesday, August 31st 2011 9 – 11am Seats are limited, attendees MUST RSVP!Breakfast is on us!

The ubiquity of digital technology means social reputation can now be created — or destroyed — in a matter of days, and we are only at the very beginning.  The question on everyone’s lips is: how do we leverage this extraordinary power? Join us on Wednesday the 31st of August 2011 at Pendolino Restaurant & Café at 9am, and we’ll offer you some answers.

Crucial intelligence for your business

You’ll hear the results of our latest research into social collaboration, the inexorable rise of reputation indexes and the implications for meeting the needs of your future customers in our changing world. We’ll also prove why the retail sector (of both goods and services) stands to benefit more than most from adopting and using collaborative Internet solutions. In doing so, we'll walk through several case studies — illustrating the success of those who got it right, and the key mistakes of those who didn’t. Topics will include:

• Why organisations must engage in online collaboration to survive and succeed
• Key consumer behavioral concepts
• Predictions for retail in 2015
• How to employ behavioural design to boost collaboration
• How to cross-fertilise your campaigns and generate a critical mass of interest
• The critical position of reputation indexes and how to use them to leverage group reputation

Not simply another seminar, this two-hour briefing will be conducted in an intimate roundtable environment conducive to generating real discussion with ample opportunities to ask questions and bring thoughts to the table. Seats are limited.  To RSVP call Kieran on 02 8405 6807 or e-mail kieran@houseoflaudanum.com Alternatively, if you'd like to get in touch to organise a private briefing for yourself or one of your colleagues then please contact Zina directly.
