You are invited to participate in an exciting Social Media/Business Research Project the Center for CIO Leadership is conducting in collaboration with INSEAD eLab. We are seeking the feedback of CIOs and senior level IT leaders as well as other C-level executives.

This research will identify where and how value is being created (in both mature and emerging economies), determine best practices in the social workplace and create a model for assessing the Social Quotient (SQ) of firms, i.e. their preparedness for the adoption of the social workplace. The report will contain an analysis of the key success factors for generating business value out of the use of social media.

The survey takes between ten to fifteen minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. The final report will be featured on the Center site when the report is released this summer. By participating, you will contribute to this important area of research.
