My use of social media – who, what, and why?
This is the second of a pair of posts. The general topic of the value of social media and how I use it is covered in my IIA blog. This post lays out who I follow on Twitter, and why, and which groups I belong to on LinkedIn, and why.
I follow 105 people. This includes friends that tweet occasionally, as well as individuals and sources whose posts I find valuable. Here’s a sample of the latter (for a complete list, check out my Twitter profile):
- Dennis Howlett, a full time blogger and analyst on technology – including SAPs
- Deon Binnemann, who focuses on reputation risk
- Directorship, the magazine of the NACD, who tweets about corporate governance
- Douglas Park, who also focuses in on corporate governance
- Fay Feeney consults with corporate boards
- Forrester Research, because they are an analyst firm that watches the GRC space and SAP
- Mary Kurek (GRC Info), because she shares interesting information about GRC
- Michael Rasmussen, who is a major figure in GRC thought leadership
- OccHealthSafety; they provide information on the latest in environmental, health, and safety compliance
- Rebecca Herold, a specialist in data privacy
- Timo Elliott, who is an evangelist for business intelligence
- Todd Davies, formerly with IIA Australia, focuses on strategic risk management
- Alex Todd (TrustEnabler) tweets about governance from a trust perspective
- CCI_Compliance is an online resource center for GRC
- ComplianceWeek; Matt Kelly is an engaging commentator on the world of governance and compliance
- HarvardBiz, for the latest blogs from Harvard Business Review
- BreakingNews, so I get fast news of events around the world
- ReTheAuditors, Francine McKenna, for the latest on the accounting firms
- GoingConcern, a source of information on accounting matters
- Douglas Chia, who is a corporate counsel and shares his governance perspectives
- RiskContainment, on risk management
- ITGRC, for the IT GRC forum
- Tom Peters, who has sold more business books than everybody else – and whose Wow! concepts inspired much of my thinking
- TheIIA, the voice of the global IIA
I have joined 37 groups, which may be too many. I manage one, for people interested in the IIA’s GAIT methodology (the GAIT group). Others include the following. I believe the relationship to internal audit, governance, risk, and compliance is clear.
- Bay Area Security, Risk, and Compliance Professionals
- Chief Audit Executives
- Chief Risk Officer and Board Solution Providers
- Continuous Control Monitoring
- Corporate Integrity (GRC)
- Enterprise Risk Management and Enterprise Risk Management Association
- Global Association of Risk Professionals
- 6 groups around Governance, Risk, and Compliance or GRC
- GVP, or Global Value Performance
- Internal Audit Professionals and Internal Audit Beyond Compliance
- IT-GRC and IT-Audit
- Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG) GRC Professionals
- Risk and Insurance Management
- Risk and Reward
- 2 around SAP GRC
- Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE)
- The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA)
I am interested in where you see value. Would you add to this list?
