Dear E-Mail: Die Already. Love, Facebook

admin — Mon, 21 May 2012 00:20:50 +0000

The annals of obsolete communication technologies are growing all the time. There's the telegraph, the answering machine, the fax, and the paper-based letter, all artifacts from an analog era where messages had resonance hours, even days, after getting them. Now Mark Zuckerberg wants to add e-mail to that list. In a rollout on Nov. 15 of its revamped messaging system, Facebook's 26-year-old founder declared the age of e-mail over, dragged down by what he called the "weight and friction" of having to remember people's addresses and sort through unwanted messages from strangers. In its place, the social network introduced an inbox that stresses instant communication, mashing together e-mail with instant messages and cell phone texts into a single stream of chatter, customized for the Age of Urgency. "This is a modern messaging system," Zuckerberg declared. The social network is trying to change the messaging game with its new service

Three years ago in the early days of social media I wrote a blog post asking people to vote between Facebook and Orkut in regards to their favorite social network.

Lean and Six Sigma A One-Two Punch

maddy — Fri, 18 May 2012 11:40:00 +0000

• Lean brings action and intuition to the table, quickly attacking low hanging fruit with kaizen events. • Six Sigma uses statistical tools to uncover root causes and provide metrics as mile markers. • A combination of both provides the tools to create ongoing business improvement. We can all agree on reducing scrap and rework. The question is, by which ideology? Six Sigma programs are popular, focused and effective, but projects often take months to finish, and the program creates elite Black Belts (BBs), who are frequently disconnected from the shop floor. Lean initiatives are great for boosting productivity, changing a culture and cleaning up factories, but what tools do they offer when it comes to fixing unseen quality issues? Which way to go?

Outsourcing Can Do Much More Than Just Cut Costs

maddy — Thu, 17 May 2012 23:40:05 +0000

Companies that successfully create and sustain value year after year are rare. Many try to, but a recent study of 2,000 companies over 10 years by our consulting firm, Bain & Co., found that only one in 10 achieved sustained, profitable growth. Outourcing and offshoring began as cost-cutting measures, but companies that create real sustained value routinely use them for far more strategic ends--to gain capabilities that they don't have in-house, or to strengthen capabilities they do have. We have found that 85% of those winners use capability-sourcing broadly and strategically for everything from developing world-class talent to bringing new products to market faster and enabling business model innovation. In other words, they've moved way beyond mere cost-cutting. Read more....

Perfectionism Is a Disease

maddy — Wed, 09 May 2012 11:47:58 +0000

We can never achieve perfection — any of us. Yet so many people keep trying to reach this elusive goal and they drive themselves crazy in the process. So cut it out. Accept that it’s okay to do a mediocre job on a certain percentage of your work. If you need convincing, consider this: Perfectionism is a risk factor for depression. No kidding.
