AGB2009- democracy @ work

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

This part of the AGB2009 series (see the presentation)
AGB2009: democracy @ work

BACKGROUND

Are the new technologies just another set of tools? Few examples and considerations seed the discussion.

ABSTRACT

Until not too long ago, innovations in technologies and business processes required capital investment.

The new “crowdinnovation” approach changes the communication and negotiation model.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The target is, obviously, how to get the best out of the innovation that you cannot control.

And how to motivate employees to contribute.

GoogleTranslateReady: one month later

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

More than one month ago, I wrote that from August 16th I would have started using something that I suggested to Google for fun, my GoogleTranslateReady concept.

Then, I wrote that I had actually started the experiment in early August, in my “virtual village” on Draugiem.Lv

This is my report, one month later.

I could not resist the temptation to publish it on… 2009/09/09 :D

From studio accounting to telephone billing :)

Monday, September 7th, 2009

If you are based in US, or work within the entertainment industry, you probably know what is “studio accounting“.

And this post adds a funny billing system, that is one step ahead in adding creativity in a billing system.

In my consulting activity, I always find boring when systems are not aligned- and I do not mean just information technology.

I mean stupid things like organizations that set up campaigns, and then forget to inform everybody that the campaign is closed, and therefore their branches keep selling something to get a commission… after the campaign is closed :D

Or leaving around in places that you control posters announcing… something that ended months ago.

Dutch & Asynchronous guided brainstorming

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Well, if you visited this blog, you know that I like reading and writing.

Actually, I published yesterday and today two short multilingual stories (Everybody knows… and Not just writing…) in my “virtual village”, as I call my profile inside Draugiem.lv :)

What links the title to those two articles?
