Welcome to Human Capitalist 2.0: Mapping the Future of Work
Today’s global workforce faces some unprecedented challenges — and truly historic opportunities. In the United States alone, companies are managing significant proportions of four generations of workers side-by-side — Millennials, Gen-Xers, Baby Boomers, and (in greater proportion than ever before) seniors. At the same time, a dazzling array of new technologies and social platforms taking root in the […]
Maintaining Ethical Standards As An Industry Analyst And Enterprise Consultant
Every once in a while, someone suggests that vendors pay me for coverage. The latest accusation actually used the term “pay-for-play”, which is a derogatory term for industry analysts who require that vendors be their paid clients before they receive any coverage by the analyst, and is often considered to be unethical. Vendors who work […]
Lightening Up The Travel Gear
Last week at bpmNEXT was my first solo outing with the new blogging setup: Google Nexus 7 tablet, Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, and WordPress app for Android. I was also working on a white paper for a client, so had to edit and view documents in Word and PowerPoint formats, for which I use use the […]
New Toys
For those of you who see me at conferences occasionally, you may see a new (and even smaller) setup in front of me next time: my Google Nexus 7 tablet (which I carry with me anyway as an ebook reader and general media device) and a new Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android, plus the WordPress […]
Is Social Marketing Replacing Content Marketing – or Enhancing It?
Interesting post by David Strom on ReadWriteWeb this past weekend – Blogging Declines Across the Inc. 500. As stated in the UMass Dartmouth study behind the headline: Fifty percent of the 2010 Inc. 500 had a corporate blog, up from 45% in 2009 and 39% in 2008. In this new 2011 study, the use of […]
The Youngest Enterprise (?) Irregular (!) Blogger
OK, so I am not so sure about the Enterprise part, but definitely Irregular. Fellow EI Dennis Moore‘s son, Josh is now a pro blogger, publishing product reviews @ GottaBeMobile. Don’t expect him to review SAP, Oracle, Workday, NetSuite and the like… Josh leaves such boring stuff to his Dad. For now he focuses iPad, Android, […]
Social Media Week London – more out than in
Earlier this month, starting February 7, Social Media Week ran in 9 cities, with plenty of events running in London. I watched some of the live streams from Likeminds based events that sounded very good in terms of content although they hit some broadcast problems, kept in touch via the Twitter hashtag and then I […]
Improve Your Blog Reading Signal to Noise Ratio
Since I subscribe to almost 200 blogs, it’s critical for me to keep a high signal to noise ratio. In other words, the posts that show up in my reader need to be things I really want to read. If I’m spending all my time separating the wheat from the chaff, then I’m wasting my […]
Trouble in WordPress Land. Here’s the Band-Aid
If you run a WordPress blog and can’t get into your Admin Panel today, you’re not alone. Or to be more specific, you can get in for a second, then the page blanks out. If you are fast enough to click on a function in that second, you’re lucky – or if you know the […]
Congratulations to TechCrunch
TechCrunch is being acquired by AOL . I’m sure you picked up something about this in your reading today… I met Mike many years ago when he started TechCrunch and it was evident that his particular genius was identifying a segment of the media ecosystem that was ripe for disruption. His single minded focus and […]
