We've all been there - working in an office, you may be in close proximity to other departments, but even being 10 feet away it can be difficult to learns about events/info/news that might be of interest to your social media audience. Inevitably, you get busy, they get busy, your own deadlines and agendas trump any chance of hitting all of the meetings or connecting with key people, and you miss out.
However, there is a way to connect. As the old adage goes, where there's a will...
Sometimes all it takes is grabbing a few key people on the fly for a quick 5-minute "stand-up". I'm not calling this a meeting, because that term can be painful to some, and may make them check-out in their head before you even get started. Make sure you have a short agenda in your head to keep it productive. Keep the group small, manageable. Each person gets a minute to share - short and sweet. You'll be amazed at what tips and gems you can garner in such a short "sitting".
Sure, planning ahead is great, and sitting in on those pub, marketing or internal communications meetings are key, but we're not Stretch Armstrong - we can only go so far.
