So what?
At one point in my career I worked for the U.S. division of a large, international consulting firm. I held a variety of positions, the last being account executive. This company wasn’t as rigid as some I’ve seen with enforcement of “officially sanctioned” sales presentations, but toward the end of my time there, they became [...]
10 Questions With… Rich Fialkoff of Chide.it
I’ve written a couple times before about a one question survey, even investigated different customer surveying models. Obviously, I’m a self-admitted fan of customer surveys. There are also different kinds of surveys for different audiences. On this blog I’ve mostly talked about surveys that fall in the “customer satisfaction” heading, but your customers are only [...]
30 second MBA?
I finally got around to reading through the recent Fast Company magazine, and saw a little promo for one of their online features: The 30 Second MBA. Normally I never check those kind of online features out; they are almost always characterized by little value and/or over the top marketing. I respect Fast Company though [...]
low tech
DCO reader and friend Lauren, recently sent me a Harvard Business Publishing’s Management “tip of the day” she found interesting. The teaser title in the E-mail was The Simple Way to Capture Big Ideas. Clicking through, the actual article’s heading was The Next Big Idea in Management. There must have been something pretty special in [...]
Market research results
First of all, if you are one of the people who took time out of their day to take my recent suvery, Thank You! I had a good response, with 55 responses currently. I was hoping to get at least 50 responses, and promoted the survey through all my social networks. I truly appreciate your [...]
The politics of technology
Like many of you, I use a handful of social network applications to create networks, stay in touch with friends and develop my professional network. I’m guessing I was also like many of you in that I didn’t sit down and develop a “social networking strategy” before I started using these tools. In fact, in [...]
What’s so hard about blogging?
So, you’ve probably read a lot here and there about blogs being one of the best ways on the Internet to not only establish your expertise, but even grab some search engine traffic. I talked about blogging as a foundational tool for thought leader’s / subject matter expert’s personal brand.
Over the past month or so, [...]
Plaxo, anyone?
I had one of those reminder E-mails from Plaxo this morning. I’ve been a user of Plaxo for a long time, having signed up “back in the day” when it started as a simple tool to keep your Outlook Contacts up to date. Since it’s morphed into a business community site, I have to say [...]
Shameless self-promotion
As in, I’m about to shamelessly self-promote myself. Well, not actually myself so much as my blog.
A few posts back, I wrote about a new feature I had added to the blog, the “Great Posts from Around the Web” widget. Using free ranking services available from Postrank, I built an automatically updating list of great [...]
Great posts from around the web
So, a while back I wrote about some upcoming changes / surprises on the blog. The first was a facelift to the blog, which I rolled out a week or so ago. Yesterday, I flipped the switch on the second addition: a list of great posts from around the web on our topics of Leadership [...]
