Just 13 percent of communicators said their organization was “an advanced, well-run machine,” while nearly two-thirds said they have more to learn and accomplish.
More than half (64 percent) said they use social media regularly, but have more to learn and accomplish. Another 23 percent called themselves “newbies.”
“We’re not even at the beginner stage,” a participant confessed.
“Unless you’re at a top-five consumer brand or agency,” wrote one another, “I don’t see how anyone can consider themselves advanced. It’s just growing too fast.”
The survey drew 2,714 total respondents from government agencies, nonprofits, and corporations with more than 50,000 employees.
