How and When to Respond to Conversations – Managing Your Own Virtual Water Cooler

Over at Micro Persuasion Steve Rubel has been sharing today an interesting weblog post that I thought would be worth while commenting on as well. In How and When to Respond to Conversations he is actually wondering “whether companies needed to address every single comment/question that comes in on their blogs” or not.

Myth Busting – Does Office Small Talk Really Matter while Working Remote / Distributed?

Apparently, it does, but then again it may well be another myth that needs some busting when talking about the impact of remote / distributed work in shifting plenty of our mental models, behaviours and habits in terms of how work does happen nowadays. You see? Small talk hasn’t always had a good reputation. In … Continue reading Myth Busting – Does Office Small Talk Really Matter while Working Remote / Distributed?

Myth Busting – Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Work

Working remotely, or distributedly, in an effective manner, is hard work. It always has been, no doubt. In fact, I would dare to state how, over the course of the last 2.5 years, since the pandemic started, we don’t seem to have learned much about it, because, time and time again, we seem to keep … Continue reading Myth Busting – Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Work

Myth Busting – Can’t Build Social Capital with Remote / Distributed Work

Remember when Social Capital was cool back in the mid-90s at the same time Knowledge Management (KM) was in fashion? Remember when we decided to kill both just a few years later, as we purposely defaulted to focus, almost exclusively, on business processes and technology, leaving behind the people component from the good old KM … Continue reading Myth Busting – Can’t Build Social Capital with Remote / Distributed Work

Myth Busting – Office vs. Remote / Distributed Culture

Culture. That’s a fully loaded word, isn’t it? I mean, pretty much on the same level as the other two ‘Cs’: Collaboration and Community. I bet, when asked, we all have a definition for it. I suspect it’s also a different one for each and everyone of us. However, when thinking about Office Culture, there is a single keyword, … Continue reading Myth Busting – Office vs. Remote / Distributed Culture

Flickr – The Last Refuge

I just can’t believe I have written the above as today’s blog post title. Really? Flickr? As last refuge? Is it still around? Do people use it? I don’t know about you folks, but I can confirm vast majority of my social networks from over the years don’t. They are nowhere to be seen in there … Continue reading Flickr – The Last Refuge

How to Stop LinkedIn’s Toxic Algorithmic Manipulation

I am grateful LinkedIn has, finally, managed to open up my eyes and leave behind the lab rat race it’s become over the years. I am grateful it has pushed me over the edge and facilitated, for good, my return to this blog. It only took me 4 years to realise it’s no longer the … Continue reading How to Stop LinkedIn’s Toxic Algorithmic Manipulation

Things I Terribly Miss in Twitter

As a result of this blog post, a good number of you folks have been asking me, over the last couple of days, whether I still see the value of Twitter or not. Frankly, if I had discovered it just about 7 years ago, my answer would have been a resounding ‘No!’ And yet? You … Continue reading Things I Terribly Miss in Twitter

Differences between Remote and Distributed Work – All about Power, Symbols and Rituals!

Once upon a time, there was work. Then, the office. After that, remote work started to grab some more momentum by the day with the emergence of different technologies. From there onwards, distributed work became the new-normal before we could even blink! And, finally, all of that was followed by the hybrid workplace. Phew! What a ride, eh? I have … Continue reading Differences between Remote and Distributed Work – All about Power, Symbols and Rituals!

Shift Happens – The Future Office / Library in a Connected World

Over the course of the last few years I have been planting seeds all over the place. Usually, at other people’s gardens. It’s been a real treat, a true pleasure and an honour. I have always appreciated the opportunity to help amplify different conversations around topics I am very passionate about by sharing my two cents’ worth … Continue reading Shift Happens – The Future Office / Library in a Connected World
