A three-parter on NetBanker.

My newest article is now live on NetBanker. Key Success Factors for Social Media Projects is the first part of three, detailing some of the success factors we at Vancity have found with ChangeEverything.ca since its launch a little over a year ago.

My next part will be about metrics and key performance indicators of social media projects and will be published next week. The third part will focus on the role of the community moderator to help ensure the success of a social media project.

All my NetBanker articles can be found at netbanker.com/azaroff.

Enjoy.

So far so good.


BarCampBankSeattle is off to a roaring start. I wasn’t familiar with this Open Space model, but people started by proposing different sessions they were interested in and then started grouping and discussing. Some really impressive thought leaders here, and we’re all mashing up, running ideas.

One session that kicked things off for me was “Credit Financing of International Relief & Development Projects” and we discussed some very interesting and innovative ways to get funding to needed projects in developing countries.

I’ll blog the notes into more of a thoughtful post later. Powerful stuff.
