Advice abounds relating to how to optimize your website, your linkedin profile, your Facebook news feed and virtually every other aspect of your social media marketing. But what about your time? Overlooking this issue, can be costly in terms of  lost productivity. With that in mind, I hope you’ll consider joining my live conversation with veteran project manager Liz Pearce this afternoon at 10 am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6 pm GMT on Blog Talk Radio.

Liz is the COO of LiquidPlanner, a priority-based, predictive project management solution for professionals working within enterprises and within agency project teams. The focus of our conversation will be  how to use  time tracking and analysis to boost your team’s performance in the age of disruptive social media . Liz won’t just be talking theory. She’ll be speaking from her experience as well, having managed over 100 projects at a time at Google. She’s also held product and project management positions at Sony and Amazon.

On a related note , I’m delighted that this interview is sponsored by Ragan Communications , one of the world’s leading resources for communications and marketing professionals. Ragan will be presenting a conference at Cisco headquarters in San Jose, from May 8 – 9. The conference is entitled, “ Advanced Social Media Strategies for PR, Marketing and Corporate Communications.” Of course, one of the topics, among many that will be addressed at the conference, will be using social media to enhance the productivity of marketing, product development, PR and executive teams.

Indeed, the opening keynote will be presented by Carlos Dominguez (@carlosdominguez) who is the Senior Vice-President for the Office of the Chairman and CEO at Cisco. Dominguez will be discussing the skill sets required for today’s professionals to adapt to changing markets, one of which is their ability to manage their time effectively in the age of disruptive media. He’ll also be addressing:

  • Key characteristics of successful companies
  • How to weave social media into the fabric of your organization
  • How social tools can help you innovate
  • The importance of collaboration for thriving in this new world

Attendees of the conference look to be in for a real treat given the impressive roster of presentations from professionals working inside the executive trenches of leading enterprises like IBM, Cisco, SAP and Adobe. They will be sharing their insights based on experience. That experience – sharing will be complemented by analyst insights from renowned IT research firms Forrester Research and Altimeter Group.

Among the speakers:

  • Kim Celestre (@KCelestre) is a Senior Analyst at Forrester Research
  • Ted Sapountzis (@sapountzis) is the VP of Social Media Audience Marketing for SAP AG.
  • Maria Poveromo (@mariapoveromo) is the Director of Social Media for Adobe Systems.
  • Brian Solis (@BrianSolis) is the author of Engage! The complete guide for businesses to build and measure success in the social web. Brian is one of the most prominent thought leaders and published authors in new media.
