Why Social Media is Like a Gigantic Refrigerator27 Aug

Isn't social media a big whopping refrigerator? Each of us has the ability to create something magnificent and now share with the world. We get to be kids again complete with the same giddy excitement we once got when proudly sharing work. Now, let's flip this around a bit. As a company, are you creating a fridge for your customers to post their own proudly created content?

Intuition and Innovation14 Apr

Are you getting caught up trying to sell a process? Perhaps trying to sell a process that is probably easily replicable? Or worse, trying to sell a process that’s proprietary and mired in so much paranoid legalese and bureaucratic crap that the client really doesn’t know what they buying? Josh Kamler at tiny gigantic urges [...]

When A Boring Presentation Just Won’t Do25 Apr

I’ve been getting a little bored with the more traditional ways to document and share information and concepts with colleagues. Tables are uninspiring and mindmaps can only take you so far. Sometimes you need a more fine-tuned mechanism to share knowledge. Along to the rescue comes The Periodic Table of Visualization Methods from Ralph Lengler [...]

The Creative Heat In The East22 Apr

I’m a sucker for good visual data and the map generated by Kevin Stolarick at the Richard Florida Creativity Group is particularly interesting. Using data on where the creative class lives, county by county, he has been able to show the ‘heat’ of the creative hotspots and the spillover into neighboring areas. (Click here for [...]

It’s All Fun And Games Until Someone Puts Out An Eye08 May

Actually the title doesn’t have much to do with this post…I just kinda wanted to use it A couple of weeks ago, Kevin Holland at Associations Inc. blogged on a recent King of the Hill episode lampooning the workplace entertainment provided by Cold Stone [...]

I Don’t Like RSS And Newsreaders21 Apr

See, here’s the thing…most of us take great pride in creating an interesting, provocative, web experience through our blogs. But, if you only get your blog content from a newsreader, you miss the whole experience. It’s kinda like listening to your favorite band on AM radio…the sound is there, but it’s less than an optimal [...]

Creativity Is An Act Of Courage22 Mar

Dave Gray at Communication Nation is conducting an experiment in facilitating an asynchonous conversation with Maish R. Nichani who writes the elearningpost blog. I’ve seen just a couple of attempts at creating an open, evolving dialogue like this on other blogs so it will be interesting to see what happens. What’s particularly interesting are some of [...]

In The Fog22 Nov

I guess its a natural part of the creative process to be in the fog every once in a while. Or perhaps its just that I live in a frenetic city, read way too much for my own good, think about things far too deeply, and of course, struggle with some perfectionism tendencies. Right now, I [...]

Just Wondering27 Apr

[Note: I've had this in draft form for a couple of days...I figure it's time to just go ahead and share it.] Is there a more powerful word in the English dictionary than WONDER? I just returned from a long hike through the trails that surround my neighborhood and I found myself walking with a sense [...]

I help business leaders and their organizations improve how they relate to their customers, employees, and other critical stakeholders.

I’m devoted to helping organizations discover the unique qualities that make them remarkable.

I’m currently a Master’s student at the University of North Texas studying business anthropology.
