- User case Business Card transformed into Streaming Business Card : I Teach – You -Lead – here We meet of University professor Doctor Buzady In Business Management and Leadership. The basic characteristics of the streamed content are:
- Clustered information in real time about personal participation in public presentations, conferences and global Academic initiatives.

2. User case Art Museum Calendar transformed into Streaming Interactive Art Museum: Art & Architecture in South Tyrol
- Exhibitions, events, international competitions.
- Media coverage, articles, news and research on the topic.
- Awards
- The streaming interactive art museum has 8751 followers and 47 posts. Creator Florian Castlunger
David Amerland gives his expert feedback: With his streaming business card Dr Zoltan makes the classic mistake of failing to frame his posts and relying on his reputation to carry weight but here that doesn’t count and he is missing an important aspect on engagement. In the intro of his posts there is a factual description (i.e. “this is this or this is that” that is usually evident from the post he is sharing anyway. He should really be helping his audience understand why the post is important to read and how that fits in with their lives and work. Framing, in Communication Theory, is creating the right background so context can be understood better. His other Collection “Flow- Leadership & Serious Games” is framed very well.
The Interactive Art Museum Collection does do that and has both better engagement and a higher follower count.
Essentially any good Collection gets the purpose of its narrative across and creates a sense of personality that makes it easier to engage.”
3. User case Travel Guide transformed into Streaming Travel Guide: Bali Culture and Traditions

Insights about the understanding of traditions
Variety of content; from text and images to GIF, video, and live stream.

Chart based on “Your Influence” metrics since day one of the brand
To summarize:
creating content on ongoing bases, complying with Google best practices and engaging about the shared interest of culture and traditions in Bali have involved more than 6000 users to the streaming travel guide within a short period of two months.
Streaming Workflow Identifiers
Owners of Collections can identify corresponding points of interest that have been so far on paper, on traditional conferences and exhibition stands, on traditional media and transform these by implementing new digital forms of content.
Leaders should be aware of their personal role they have for their brand and for the communities the brand owns and manages online. When leaders choose not to be active online in general, I would recommend a Leader’s book as part of Brand management of Google brand pages. It is the known persona influence.
David Amerland identifies a few example labels Google page managers can use to create a relevant Google Plus Collection:
- Create a Better Earth – Cause
- My Travel Story – Book
- Product and Feature Updates – Catalogue
- Rubik’s Cube Club
- Sunday Read – Club/ Community
- Google+Create – Magazine
- Google+Insider – Media Program
- Sunday Read – Club/ Community
- Cloudwars – friendly, welcoming past time Community/town square
What are the characteristics that will help implement these leadership achievements in other niches? Repeated public information that has been on paper, at exhibition stands, product and service functionalities, experiences at art and culture events or in other words meaningful conversations for the audience.
