Digital for events and visits
We have a cracking team of people here at BIS who do all sorts of good things using social media as part of their day job, which usually involves arranging visits, events and staff outreach.

Digital fortnight went to Birmingham
Digital fortnight wasn't just restricted to our offices in London and Sheffield - Gwenny and I also took it to Birmingham, to meet our colleagues from BIS Local offices.
Guardian networks and communities
A few of us took a trip to the Guardian's offices today, as part of an ongoing project to better understand how different organisations use digital to talk to their audiences.
Personal professional social media profiles
We've been answering a lot of questions lately about the difference between a professional or personal social media profile, and how to manage them safely.
Digital outside of business as usual
Since we held our first digital lunch last month, we've held a few more, including Elizabeth Lumley from Finextra and Sian-Estelle Petty from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
Using the web to seek, show and tell
Aspiring journalist Sid Chaffer joined the BIS digital team for some work experience this week. She gave us a hand helping policy makers to embrace the web, and sums up her thoughts here on the importance of the web.
Digital lunch
We have some pretty big objectives around embedding digital in Communications and BIS. I'd like to think we're setting some aspirational goals.
Sand, hurricanes and the web
Colleagues from the Met Office visited BIS to share their experiences of social media and the benefits it brings when handling big news like Hurricane Katia.
Talking about the business of growing business

Tools to help press offices curate news content
I really like the way my colleagues in the BIS press office are using Scoop.it!* to curate news coverage that relates to their Science, Research and Innovation desk.
