Stifling growth? Challenge some assumptions!
McKinsey Quarterly has an article in their May edition – “Preparing your organization for growth” – that yet again reminds me about the total inability to ask the right question. Or question any assumptions at all. If you live in a small apartment with one bedroom and your wife becomes pregnant with triplets, what will [...]
Thingamy with ESME points to where enterprise 2.0 is heading
Yesterday I got the “lowdown” on how Thingamy, which Sigurd Rinde describes as a “Work Processor”, has just been connected to ESME, the microsharing and collaboration platform.
