But adding 10% more customers to a networked company, such as a telephone company, could increase revenues by 20% because of the increase in the number of connections available to each member *Digital money or E money - all I went back to my files today to find the summary of my report to Doug as he worked on developing the one and only complete strategy to put Canada ahead of the world by using the web.

How to Cultivate a Peer Coaching Network
If you're starting from scratch, think about the people in your current personal and professional networks with whom you'd like to collaborate in an informal coaching network. Directive coaching involves listening to your client and then offering advice from your own experiences or knowledge base. Who's the better quarterback, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning ? Perhaps a more compelling question for you, the developing leader, is this: How did these guys — and all the great performers you might admire — get to be so good at what they do?

  • Kiiro: SharePoint-Based Collaboration That Just Works
    There are literally thousands of project management and SharePoint-based applications available, and more come out all the time. Launched by the Alberta-based nForm, Kiiro is one of the best-looking and easiest-to-use SharePoint tools we've seen to date. In other words, it's a comprehensive attempt to build a working collaborative software package on top of SharePoint, without all the headaches for IT or business users. New ones are usually not that interesting. But Kiiro is a project management tool that uses a SharePoint backend yet looks like nothing like a Microsoft

  • Master the Art of Working Remotely
    Over the past five years I've worked off-site and online for employers across the country using email, chat, and web-based collaboration apps. Be clear and concise in your replies, and make sure you cover all the bases to avoid unnecessary back and forth. Instead, opt for online collaborative tools that let everyone work on the same master copy in the cloud, like Google Docs , Zoho , or Approver . My work life has been the envy of my traditional nine-to-five friends. While they suit up in an office-appropriate outfit, grab the briefcase, and brave a commute

  • Your Success as a Leader Depends on the Kindness of Strangers
    I've had the opportunity to conduct a lot of research over many years on how and why people collaborate and innovative; through it all, one conclusion stands clear: you can't make anyone do these things. There is no correlation between traditional "push" management approaches - directives, power-based approaches, or even compensation and performance management, and people's willingness to be a little more creative, more enthusiastic or service oriented with customers, to ponder the challenges they face with greater focus and energy, to be more emotionally contagious and proud.

  • The Decade in Management Ideas
    Increasingly sophisticated tools and metrics for value-based management pushed the consideration of stock price effects deep into operational decision-making, and made sure everything pointed toward bonus day. Even before they embraced " design thinking ," managers were encouraging collaboration, drawing on diverse perspectives, and engaging whole workforces in "ideation." Tis the season for "year's best" lists — and even, this year, for "decade's best" lists — and who are we to resist the urge? A few of us HBR editors (Gardiner Morse and Steve Prokesch helped

  • Thanks Ward, for Inventing the Wiki 14 Years Ago Today
    Wiki, the collaborative editing of web pages named after a Hawaiian word for "fast," was kind of like the Twitter, or blogging, of its day. From huge corporate knowledge-bases to tiny church web pages, there are countless installations of wiki software around the web. 14 years and a whirlwind of innovation later, wiki is still probably the best example of collaboration on this social technology we call the web. Today marks the 14th anniversary of the creation of the very first wiki, Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb . Cunningham described that site as focused on

  • Predictions for 2010: Five Changes in the Way We Work
    The approaches companies use to respond to difficult business conditions don't only affect the company — they leave a lasting impression on the workers (and the workers' teen-age children, who draw conclusions for their career strategy based on their parents' experience). For many, especially those in creative or knowledge-based work, this is likely to include becoming entrepreneurs. I predict this year will be marked by five changes in the evolving relationship between those who work and those who pay to have work done. Most of these trends have been percolating
