A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
Collaboration – Everything that has got to do with collaboration whether it is real-time vs. offline, face to face vs. remote collaboration, etc.
Those folks who have been following this blog for a long while now would probably realise how, for quite some time, I have firmly believed that the main challenge with regards to the successful adoption of social computing within the enterprise is no other than a cultural one. Nothing to do with technology, or the … Continue reading Collaborative Culture: On Reinventing the Social Enterprise
Oh, dear, it looks like the Hippie 2.0 side of me wanted to stir the pot some more and come about before the usual blog post later on in the week. I guess there are times where you bump into a couple of links here and there that surely make you think about things twice … Continue reading Top 10 Reasons to Ban Social Media in the Organisation! — Really?
Do you still remember the article "Is Multitasking Bad for the Brain?", that I put together a few weeks back over here in this blog? I am not sure whether you do or not, but I’m certainly having a blast myself at the moment moving away from multitasking on my day to day work after … Continue reading How to Avoid Multitasking – The Pomodoro Technique
I am sure you would all agree with me that both TED Talk and TEDx videos are just terrific means of being wowed over and over again on multiple different topics.

The thing is that, … Continue reading Reinventing Social Media – The People by David Armano

Do you really think so? I mean, *really*? Interesting reflection that one from my good friend, the always insightful, Andy McAfee, over at Harvard Business Review, under the same title as this blog post, where he comes to conclude that "today’s workplaces will change Generation Y more than the reverse". Rather interesting conclusion to which … Continue reading Millennials Won’t Change Work; Work Will Change Millennials – Really?
"Really? Are you serious? I mean, are you sure you know what you are saying?" "Yes, sir! I know what I am saying… Exactly that! For Social Computing to sink in and be that critical and crucial part of the ins and outs within the corporate world we would ALL need to make that blunt … Continue reading Forget Social Strategy, Think Social Philosophy: Hippie 2.0
Well, may be. But then again, may be not! I am sure that one of the main inhibitors that social computing evangelists out there would currently face within their own organisations would be pretty much such resistance to change from various other knowledge workers; resistance to leave their own comfort zone; to change their already … Continue reading Overcoming Resistance to Change – Isn’t It Obvious?
