The challenge social listening professionals face is that few people do what we do, so our work is often misunderstood. And because there is no roadmap for companies to follow to create a social intelligence function, we’re unsure whether we can embrace our work as a legitimate professional discipline.
The SI Lab community is a space where like-minded professionals can share their experiences and discuss new ideas together via strategy sessions and peer-to-peer learning events. Because our work is too important to wait for others to understand it.
