SideraWorks Announces Event Partnerships for Social Business MasterClasses

Chicago, IL, February 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- SideraWorks, a leading social business management consultancy has partnered with Explore and Social Slam to offer SideraWorks' social business workshops at event locations.

"Prior to 2013, SideraWorks has only offered these MasterClass workshops to individual organizations. We've spent the last year honing them in the messy real world of business and we are extremely excited to now be making them available for public attendance at selected venues. We are obsessive about quality and reputation, so it's important to us that any event we are associated with is also grounded in those same objectives. The Explore and Social Slam events fit that bill perfectly. Their focus on limited attendance and quality actionable content provides for a more intimate depth of experience, and it's run by people we trust. They are already some of the highest value events available in the social media industry and through our workshops we look forward to extending that value for attendees even further," said Matt Ridings, CEO of SideraWorks.

"SideraWorks focuses primarily on the internal aspects of social business. As companies gain experience with social media they are realizing just how broad an impact it is having on their organizations and are beginning the necessary steps to address those impacts in a more holistic way. The SideraWorks philosophy of 'teaching you how to fish' and giving you the proven tools to do so makes for a great combination attendees looking to dive deep into one of these topics. It's incredibly exciting to be able to offer these hands-on, expertly facilitated workshops at such a discounted price and in a common location so that they're only paying travel costs once. It's a great way for us to reach audiences who normally would not be able to access these MasterClasses."

Upcoming events includes Social Slam in Knoxville, TN on April 4 and Explore in Scottsdale, AZ on April 13.

The first MasterClass available will be the "Implications of Social Business & Crisis Preparation: Social Scenario Modeling™"

From the description: "Have you fully planned for the inevitable crisis that occurs through social media? Have you planned for when things go terribly *right*? Have you built sound policies, processes and governance models for social business?

"This MasterClass is designed around the SideraWorks Social Scenario Modeling™ toolkit and methodology.

"Using real-world situations that have occurred at diverse companies, you’ll learn to build meaningful social media policies, processes, and governance that address opportunities, mitigate risks, and consider needs across the organization. You’ll walk away feeling better prepared for social business and its implications, and be able to immediately go back and apply this approach over and over again in your work. Have a question about the workshop or whether it's right for you? Contact MasterClass@SideraWorks.com"
