It's been a long time since I've recorded an audio podcast but I decided to start a series of reflections on the nature of the corporation in today's world that seemed well-suited to that medium.
I'm very interested in your thoughts about this and look forward to hearing from you.
Here's Part 1 of Mapping The Corporate Genome.
Ah, an old-school audio podcast today! What a treat!!
This morning, Ralf Beuker of Vol. 2: design management.de and I recorded a discussion about social media, business uptake and cultural differences. Hope you enjoy it. Subscribe to The TrueTalkBlog on iTunes.
I'm not sure how I feel about ambivalence.
But, seriously, folks!
The title of this post is from the lyrics of a Jimmy Durante song from this movie which went: "Well, did you ever get the feelin' that you wanted to go yet still have the feelin' that you wanted to stay?" <Repeat>
That's ambivalence.
And, that's the way I feel about the Loren Feldman parodies of Shel Israel. If you haven't been following this dustup among followers of social media, you might want to go over and listen to a podcast that Johnnie Moore and I just recorded.
One minute, I find Loren and his puppet hilarious; the next, I cringe.
Raises questions: When does satire become sadism? How have we evolved such that this kind of humor so appealing?
Bonus: the Durante clip isn't available, but here's a quickie that gives you a feeling for that terrific film which I now must watch again.
Here is Part 2 of a recent podcast with my good friend Johnnie Moore.
World of Warcraft is a huge social phenomenon. What might corporations learn from it?
Here is Part 1.
After many recent video podcasts, my good friend Johnnie Moore and I decided it was time for a good old fashion trans-Atlantic audio version.
This podcast was inspired by learning that Johnnie had recently become obsessed with...er, I mean...started playing, World of Warcraft. Whenever someone with Johnnie's keen eye for all things interesting starts spending lots of time on an activity, I become curious.
Hence, Part 1 of our recently recorded TrueTalk podcast. Enjoy.
My friend Johnnie Moore invited me to participate in a podcast with he and Andrew Rixon recently on the subject of the language of facilitation. It was great fun. I really enjoy doing things like this, especially with two people as interesting, innovative and articulate as Johnnie and Andrew.
Here's Johnnie's post of the show. Hope you enjoy it.
In Part 1 of a recently recorded TrueTalk podcast, I speak with Andy Kanefield of Dialect, about the reasons organizations exist.
By now, many of us believe that commercial enterprises perform best when everyone in the business is working toward accomplishing objectives that transcend pure economics. Andy and I first met at the TED Conference several years ago and found that our organizations worked to help clients think through similar issues from slightly different perspectives. While Dialect focuses on organizational identity from a marketing point of view, TrueTalk works with a company's social systems to improve performance.
Here's Part 2 of the podcast Johnnie Moore and I recorded last week. The subject: "driving "change.
Part 1 can be found here.
Hope you enjoy it. Please let us know what you think.
My friend Johnnie Moore and I recorded a podcast last week. The subject: change. Sooner or later, leaders in organizations of all stripes come up against the question of how to get people focused on doing things differently.
When Johnnie and I had lunch in New York about a month ago, “driving change”—one of the prevailing organizational metaphors—was on the menu. Johnnie and I both believe it's a flawed way of thinking about people and organizations.
Listen to Part 1 and let us know what you think.
Here's the Dave Snowden piece that Johnnie refers to in the podcast.
