What do you do?

I am reading More Space (which I highly recommend). I just finished Rob May’s chapter. I enjoyed his overall theme "Why Business Matters", but I was particularly drawn to one particular point he made.
I don’t care about a job, I want more than that. Any time I am between
projects or businesses, people always try to [...]

Pegasus Day 2

As the day winds down, I am sitting here listening to the Stones play a concert down the street at SBC park…what a country.
As for the conference, today was an interesting day. The morning Keynote was by Marv Adams, CIO at Ford. Unfortunately I had to cut out early. His main theme was how to [...]

Questioning how we do conferences

Seth points to how conferences are not as effective as they would like to be. (How did he know I was at a conference this week?)

Pegasus Day 1

The first day of the conference is done. There are about 500 attendees here this week. Yesterday’s highlights:
Opening Keynote by Peter Senge:

The main theme of the conference is Interdependency. He asked the "simple" questions "Who do I depend on?" and "who depends on me?" He used this to show how interdependent all citizens of the [...]

Pegasus Conference

I am heading to San Francisco on Sunday to attend Embracing Interdependence:Effective and Responsible Action in Our Organizations and the World, sponsored by Pegasus Communications. It is being held at the Hyatt Regency. I haven’t seen much social net activity around this, which I find ironic, since I see the social web as the most [...]

Lexicon, Oops, My Bad

I like the word "lexicon". When I have the opportunity, I like to use it. It makes me feel smart, or something I can’t quite label. It may be because it is a word that many people don’t use, and when I use it I am often asked to clarify its meaning in context. It [...]

Blog Evangelist

I want your help. I want to develop a position within my organization that is focused on the functional usage of blogs and other web 2.0 applications. I see this position as part Marketing (along the lines of Seth and Hugh), part technical (as an interface to IT, not as a developer), and part Internal [...]

“Real” Leadership

Some of us communicate more clearly than others. Scott Adams does it extremely well. Only Dilbert can point to real issues of leadership so effeciently.

Fax analogy?

Seth’s post, Mine ours,everyone, brings to mind that old analogy about the Fax machine. The first Fax machine  was technically  fascinating and totally useless. Adding the second machine made it a novelty  and mostly useless. Add the millionth machine and you have an invaluable  business tool. Blogs seems to be following the same paradigm. It makes [...]

Mainstream Awareness

In the last week or so it seems that every MSM (mainstream media) outlet is getting on the ‘Let’s talk about blogging" bandwagon. The most recent one I have seen is in today’s Financial Times, via Scoble. If the management of today’s big companies read this in earnest, maybe some of them will start to [...]
