The Executive’s Guide to Google+ educates executives about the emerging strategic value of Google’s new social push as a means to drive intimacy and engagement among their stakeholders—and a potential disruptor and game-changer among well established social networks. Unlike “pureplay” social networks Facebook and LinkedIn, Google has a multidimensional ecosystem of Web services to which its social push will add value, so we are watching it very closely and will share our thoughts here. Our point of distinction is our unwavering focus on applying Google+ to business processes. CSRA launched the Executive’s Guide to Google+ in Q4 2011 to apply the renowned methodology of the Executive’s Guide to LinkedIn to Google+, so we bring rigor to the practical aspects of applying (relatively) immature technology and behavior to high-value business processes.
