Managing Social Channels

A practical programme in managing social channels, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.

About the Course

This programme develops a working approach to managing social channels in the context of customer needs and service outcomes. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on channel objectives, content planning and response standards. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.

Course Objectives

  • Explain the role of channel objectives and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
  • Use a structured worksheet to examine content planning and compare reasonable alternatives.
  • Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to response standards.
  • Prepare a customer improvement proposal and success measures for discussion with a marketing or customer-service team.
  • Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.

Who Can Benefit

  • Marketing and account teams: apply channel objectives to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
  • Customer-service supervisors: apply content planning to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
  • Customer-experience and research professionals: apply response standards to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
