Carve Live LABS are dynamic elements of our corporate social networking training programmes, where we use Carve thinking, tools and frameworks to solve clients’ real challenges.

Live LABS problem-solving was really borne out of the evident frustration that many people feel when approaching social media, and – specifically – when attending social media events. There are a number of well-known social media case studies that tend to be trotted out at these events – Best Buy’s Blue Shirt Nation, Innocent’s & Red Bull’s social campaigns,  ComparetheMeerkat.com,  Dell’s use of Twitter as a sales channel and so on – that, whilst worthy of exploration, often mean little if you’re not managing a brand that’s not already in possession of bags of money and /or residual awareness.  Live LABS is about realizing the value in social media for your organisation / brand.

In Live LABS we also importantly attempt to solve problems in context: so, what can we do to achieve X within the constraints of Y and Z?

X has been pretty much everything, from ‘launch this book’ or ‘increase sales’ and ‘raise awareness of our Chief Executive’, to the more abstract: ‘engage people with this cause / idea’ and even ‘vote for this political party.’

“Live” - in the context of a Social Media Working group / management team - we develop a clear implementation roadmap with attendant action, impacts, risks and required buy-ins.

We are regularly invited to speak / facilitate Live LABS at social media events
