A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
It’s been a little while since the last time that I had a chance to write another post over here in this blog, so I guess it’s now time for another experiment then. No, I know what you may be thinking, but I am not going to stop blogging nor give up on writing for … Continue reading Why Blogging Still Matters
If you have been reading this blog for a while you would remember how all along I have been insisting on the fact that for businesses to facilitate and adapt to that Social / Open Transformation technology is nothing more than just an enabler, it’s the icing on the cake, and how the key to become a … Continue reading Open Business and The Power of Habit
Over the course of the last few years, and with the emergence (AND convergence) of social networking tools for business, cloud computing, big data and social analytics (amongst several other buzzwords and hyped concepts), we are starting to see that growing trend of shaping up one other key concept from today’s business world: our own economy. … Continue reading The Connection Economy – The One to Rule Them All

So I wondered where were they? Well, … Continue reading The Future of Open Business At Stake
