Social Intelligence FrameworkMore than monitoring. It’s about understanding key customer behaviors, needs and expectations
1. Discover - Harvest relevant social data
2. Analyze - Separate signal from noise
3. Segment - Segment social data by business function and/or defined categories
4. Strategize & Integrate – Make listening outputs a regular input that informs the strategic planning process
5. Execute – Informed action based on insights from strategic listening
Social programs start by discovering data, synthesizing it into findings, segmenting / prioritizing, and shepherding insights internally to key company functional areas.

Social Media Monitoring and Listening Tips
Listening StrategyLearning AgendaTarget Audience
• Listen before you begin any social media initiative to understand the capabilities of your audience and what their needs and issues are
• Listening means MUCH more than monitoring mentions of your company, brand, product name(s)
• Listening relies on a combination of leading tools and platforms, but the real value is dependent on the quality of the data coming in and the quality of the analyst
• Establish strategic listening posts, not as a one time effort, but as an ongoing strategic listening program (Don’t turn off the insights fire hose!)
• Online listening can positively impact many different business functions across the organization, not limited to marketing and advertising campaign improvements
