Getting to Effective Social Business Results: Applying Culture Change

By Dion Hinchcliffe on May 5, 2012

The Architecture of a Social Business

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 14, 2012

Although I’m a technologist by trade, I’ve long been disabused of the notion that social business is first and foremost a technical discipline. While almost certainly a bit more art than science at the moment, it’s the human aspects of how social media changes the way we think and work that are ultimately the most […]

Over the last several years, the desire to understand the surging rivers of digital data forming all around us has led inexorably towards something more meaningful than simple analysis.

Black Ops for Black Friday

Black Ops for Black Friday

By Susan Scrupski on November 26, 2011

I’ve never done the Black Friday thing.  Why would any human being subject themselves to that stress and, well, craziness?  Friends of mine tell me they love it.   They’re busy scoping out all the best deals, online and offline, well before the big day arrives.  They’re like highly skilled commandos when they finally descend upon […]
