Social business is growing in impact and potential so it's with great pleasure that I announce today that Merced Group is growing too, with Bill Ives now partnering with me.
Merced Group provides business strategy, program design, and implementation services to companies and organizations on social business efforts. We offer a range of services including online community strategy and operations, enterprise collaboration, social media marketing, as well as product marketing and management.Bill and I have been colleagues for a number of years now, and in joining Merced Group he brings over 25 years of experience as a consultant in business uses of emerging technologies, including knowledge management and learning, and over five years' experience in business uses in the new social media, both inside the enterprise and on the Web.
Widely published, Bill has also been blogging at Portals and KM since May 2004, and his blog is syndicated through a variety of sources - Social Enterprise Today, Lexus Nexus and Social Media Today and he does social software reviews at the AppGap blog.
Bill is found on a number of industry lists of top influencers in enterprise collaboration and a frequent speaker at conferences and webinars, creates white papers and guest blog posts covering enterprise 2.0 and related topics. This week, you'll find him at Lotusphere, covering that event.
Bill has sold and led both large and small-scale consulting engagements in a variety of industries and locations within the US and across Europe. He currently provides enterprise collaboration and social media consulting. He led the Accenture Knowledge Management and Enterprise Portals Client Practice within the Human Performance Service Line, developing many large-scale projects including industry award-winning implementations for innovation and effective knowledge sharing.
At the Renaissance Strategy Group and Spectrum Interactive, he developed knowledge management, performance support and multi-media learning systems. At both Accenture and Renaissance he developed methodologies for firm-wide use in knowledge management engagements.
The Merced Group team is looking forward to new opportunities to help business and organizations advance their social business practices and use collaborative technologies more effectively to drive product and service innovation, deepen customer insight and relationships and optimize workforce capacity.
