Wendi Pomerance Brick replied to the topic What’s Your #1, Must-Have, Can’t-Live-Without Project Management Tool? in the forum Program and Project Management 8 years, 3 months ago

We’re using HootSuite. We like the dashboard ability to see everything at once, link and pre-time the updates and collect the statistics it provides. I do have to admit we’re new to all this, but that’s our experience so far.

Wendi Pomerance Brick replied to the topic How does your organization reward excellent customer service? in the forum Citizen Engagement and Customer Service 8 years, 5 months ago
That’s a very creative way to recognize great service!
Recognition is most valued and effective for promoting continued greatness if it designed with the person being recognized in mind.
