The Community
The LinkedIn Organizational Thought Leadership group is for professionals who create, curate, or deploy thought leadership for their organizations.
Our LinkedIn group covers all topics including thought leadership best practices, definitions of thought leadership, the creation of thought leadership content and offerings (i.e., modalities), the use of strategy and resources to build thought leadership functions, and the measurement of thought leadership success and impact.
We also share and discuss emerging trends for using thought leadership as a marketing tool as well as those looking to install it as a core competency and value for their organization.
The most consistent measurements for success and impact are:
through websites, social media, in-person (i.e., conferences), etc.
how far thought leadership ideas extend both through the organization as well as through external channels (media, trade publications, clients, etc.).
linking thought leadership to direct customer interactions and sales, whenever possible.
Organizational Thought Leadership, or Org TL as we like to call it, was created when the team at Thought Leadership Leverage realized there was a growing discipline in many corporations to build, design and manage thought leadership.
