How Gen Y Want to Learn
Blog PostHow would you create your ideal learning experience for work-related learning? What would it look like, where would you be? Who would you be with? How long would it last for? Would you be creating anything, interacting with anyone, discussing, reflecting, listening, watching, experiencing?
Facebook is giving users means, motive, and opportunity. What are you going to do next?
Blog PostIt wasn’t that long ago I was presenting an introduction to social media and warned people that Facebook wasn’t something you could approach with a one off strategy for their organisation. Not just because a Facebook presence requires constant gardening (and like any social channel it does), but because Facebook is a constantly evolving entity. However, the current wave of changes announced at Facebook’s F8 conference are something significant and quite exciting.
Social Business Intelligence: Positioning a Strategic Lens on Opportunity
Blog PostRecently I've been tracking the growth of social analytics and the means of delivering well on it. Connecting it to the needs of the business is the next step beyond basics of collating, aggregating, and identifying patterns in what the world is doing that affects your organization. On ZDNet recently, I explored the rapidly growing trend of big data. Collectively, big data represents a set of highly innovative new ways that companies are developing to distill value from the sheer scale, richness, and complexity of today's vast networks of people and their data, of which the Internet is just the biggest example. It is social media in particular, however, where big data and business value intersect.

Blog PostNokia is a fascinating company. They are the single most important company in the nation of Finland. They employ 129,000 people. They control 40.3% of the global cellular phone market - and yet we only really hear Nokia's name in relation to how badly the iPhone and Android are eating their lunch. With that background, it was interesting reading this recent article in the New York times regarding the countless opportunities that Nokia has squandered to lead the smartphone market.
Innovation Games Author Luke Hohmann

We discuss some of the concepts in Luke's new book "Innovation Games: Creating Breakthrough Products Through Collaborative Play." Luke's work is incredibly fascinating, covering such interesting things as how to assign limited sales resources to opportunities using concepts from game theory.
The Social Enterprise: A Case For Disruptive Transformation
Blog PostOne of the watchwords of the 21st century, at least for the first decade, has been innovation. In a world that's clearly changing all around us at an ever increasing rate, actively pursuing new innovation has usually seemed like the best way for companies to ward off any accumulated failures to adapt to new realities.
