Dave Nelsen
Dave Nelsen is an award-winning entrepreneur and CEO who has founded and run several companies including social media pioneer TalkShoe. By day, as President of Dialog Consulting Group LLC, he helps senior executives in a variety of industries develop strategies to enhance the conversations with their most important internal and external customers using proven social networking, social media, and internet communication tools. By night (and early morning) he is podcasting, blogging, tweeting, using Facebook, Ning, and LinkedIn, and speaking to companies and organizations about how to improve their profitability and performance using these same tools.
Mr. Nelsen counts a Stanford masters degree, a 23-year marriage (and counting), three marathons, two boys, a decade of medal-winning home winemaking, $70,000,000 in Federal, Angel, and venture capital funding, seven Adventure Races, downhill skiing through 5.4 million trees ("ski good or eat wood"), many radio, TV, and magazine articles, and numerous industry panels and corporate presentations among his key accomplishments.
Seven "Social Web" Strategies to Adopt Before Your Competitors Do
This one to three hour keynote will provide your organization with a host of new weapons to improve sales and marketing effectiveness, increase market share, achieve better product design, realize higher customer satisfaction, and advance internal and external communication, providing a road map for improved success in ANY business. Mr. Nelsen incorporates examples of how organizations are leveraging social networking and social media tools -- new best practices for bi-directionally engaging internal and external customers. As Charles Darwin once said "It's not the strongest or most intelligent that survive but those that adapt to a changing environment most quickly." This is as true for business as it is for life but on a hyper-accelerated time scale. This inspiring and highly-interactive talk will help attendees adapt most quickly -- to be more competitive in YOUR market.
Tales From the Start-Up Frontier - Unleashing Your Team and Organization with "What If"
Unlike established organizations which ask, "What can we do given our existing resource and budget constraints?" startups begin with the question "How can we change the world and what resources does it require?" In this one to two hour session, Mr. Nelsen shares the lessons from 15-years of successful startups about developing new revenue streams, bringing creativity and customer-focus to product/service delivery, building high-performance teams, and removing barriers to unleash your organization's thinking and performance.
