Bloggers vs Blaggers
September 11, 2009
Blog technology has huge business benefits, but the best in business say it’s about more than that.
In the last few days, several people, in quite different industries told me they felt integrity was crucial to their business. Pointedly, they also said they were competing with people without.
Underneath I’m not sure they really believe that’s true, but what if all the good people wrote blog articles regularly? I like to think it would help us all rise above the blaggers – and in a very literal way, with Google in mind, it probably will do.
When you write stuff down, good things tend to happen.
A friend sent this to me, I’m guessing it’s because I’ve been too busy to write lately. Perhaps if they would be so kind as to send this over about once a week or so?
Inspirational HR?
August 6, 2009
A collection of inspirational web content is building on a hidden page in the Conversationware Web Vaults.
This time, a strange source. Not some wacky software entrepreneur, or some compelling life lessons for us this week -
Oh no….. it’s a presentation from Netflix, a monolith that is a publicly quoted company – they just shared a slide deck (meant to be read online) about HR.
Ok, so that shouldn’t be inspirational. But it sets out how it sees the development and most importantly the retention of talent within the company, and how to escape from HR as a business process…. their words, not mine!
It’s extremely interesting for those with 10 minutes to spare.
