The C-Suite "Gets" Social Media

85% of C-suite executives believe social media provides an opportunity to increase revenue and/or margins.  Those are among the key results from a 2007 Economist Intelligence Unit report on Corporate Web 2.0.  Other key findings include:

  • 68% believe that Web 2.0 methods and tools are the single biggest factor changing the ways their company interacts with customers
  • 49% believe that Web 2.0 methods and tools have the largest effect on how employees interact with each other and their company
  • 60% of the surveyed companies reported they are inviting customers to contribute content or plan to do so by the end of 2009

    Current data for this year is still a little hard to come by. Until 2008 numbers come in, it’s always helpful to have data on what the C-suite is thinking.

    Thanks for the comment.

    Cheers,
    Michael
