Wondering if a small online tool to keep all your work experiences in a wiki like structure and then use info from them to prepare one pagers would be a good service for people? Any VCs listening? ;)

I was working with a group yesterday that was making a number of small decisions as they worked their way through an agenda. The meeting was semi-formal and my role as facilitator was mostly to hold space and draw attention to process where appropriate. I let the group talk, asked questions from time to time and noted the decisions that they had made. As I was observing this group working, I noticed something interesting about ...

My friend David Armano asked a question I've asked here on several occasions: what is beyond the conversation? Mike Gotta talked about a similar question in a different format a year ago. He talks about it in terms of personas. When we talked about Potable Marketing in the future of advertising, we touched upon the concept of persona. I asked the question because I never for a moment thought it was about the conversation itself, ...

Photo by Marloes Most people are unexceptional at following up: it sounds obvious, but it shouldn’t be this way, because followup (I spell it as a single word) is key to combining smaller achievements into bigger ones. Actively following up on conversation is also a trait of people who’re successful, focused, and relentless about living their dreams. Lofty yet elegant — and if you excel at followup, you can be sure to incite delight wherever ...

As most of my readers will know, one of my passions is the potential for transformative government by leveraging the power of hyperconnectivity - social networks, engagement of constituents and citizens, connection of policy-makers to the people and connection of people to providers of government services. As such, I’m pleased to announce that I will be delivering one of the keynotes at GOVIS 2009: User-centred Government - More than meets the eye in Wellington on ...

When going through the process of adding / friending / following in social media, we often look for a common characteristic in our ‘friends’. These characteristics can be anything, from the love of tech, design, political affiliation or religion or any other type of culture. Why do we do this? It’s an attempt in the perpetual battle of finding the the signal amongst the noise, but on that journey, are we falling prey to too ...

The Liz Strauss Comment Counter by Ozh WordPress Plugin has been released by PlanetOzh and it is stirring up comment controversy everywhere. Recently, John C. Dvorak of PCMag asked what’s the value of online comments, bringing up an issue that confronts many bloggers as they mature in the blogging world. At first, comments were greeted with fear. Fear of how to control them, whether they were worth the risk of opening yourself up to feedack. ...

It’s really important to get closure on communications and discussions when they are done out in the open. Email - Someone emails a question - A person phones you with a solution What you have here is an unanswered email, as the answer was via the phone But who cares, you know the answer, and on-one else can see that email Forum This scenario changes when the interaction is out in the open - Someone ...

Thank you, Dave Fleet, for drawing my attention Christie Blatchford’s comments on blogging and online conversation. The general public has had the ability to join the conversation at newspapers (and magazines) for years through letters to the editor even if the online community believes this to be a new phenomenon, exclusive to themselves. To their credit, editors publish letters that present both supporting and contrary points of view — just like a normal conversation would. ...

In regards to a support team or customer service I’m thinking a micro-blogging network (like Twitter) behind the firewall is a good idea. Some options are ReVou, SocialCast, and other Open Source offerings. Using wikis and blogs are a great idea for support staff to inform each other of findings, experiences, workarounds, solutions as they happen. This is called social learning where we learn from each other, which is essential as whoever wrote the procedures ...

Many friendships occur when you’re placed in new situations. At school, you didn’t ask to be put in class with those other kids. But you made the most of the situation and found friendships among the people you were placed with. This type of thing happens throughout life, at university, in employment, and so on. But you needn’t limit yourself to the people you’re forced to interact with. There are billions of other people in ...

Gordon from Inforvark has a piece on why KM didn’t work, due to it’s non-humanistic processes: “Who was the guy we talked to about that thing?” Enterprise 1.0 tried to address this by mandating a central repository and hierarchical classification system.
