By David Gurteen There are only a handful of people whose blog posts I never wish to miss. You will find Nancy's main blog Conversation Matters here but she is also blogging on Linkedin now. Dave Snowden is one and Nancy Dixon is another. Nancy produces so much good practical material, for example, see her latest post 4 Great Ways to Conduct Peer Assists: Transferring Knowledge Effectively

By David Gurteen I was talking with a client the other day who was helping to plan an internal conference for employees from all over the world, many of whom would not know each other, and we were brainstorming how she might get them to connect and talk with each other more. I suggested stammtisch tables at the conference but that was not viable but then the idea came to mind of "stammtisch seats" on the coaches that were going to ferry them from their hotels to dinner in the evenings.

By David Gurteen Nancy Dixon , John Hovell and I are running a 3-day residential workshop on Conversational Leadership in the UK this autumn. You will find full details here. We have an amazing venue - the Elevetham - a Victorian Gothic Mansion set in an estate of 4,000 acres in the Hampshire countryside and a history dating back to the 11th century. We are also very excited about the content as John, Nancy and I bring diverse perspectives and skills to the 3-days.

Your first "hello world" blog post is hard whoever you are - and whoever you think is going to read it. But imagine doing your first blog post as a senior executive. In fact those same people are probably itching to write your first blog post for you. First they help you, then they start to write the posts for you, then you get busy or bored, and the next thing you know it is not your blog but someone else''s.

Four years ago, Max took on our quest blog and his posts were a delightful mix of the whimsical and the profound. So here it is, The Boisot Blog. A few days ago I got a friendly reminder from Plaxo that I should schedule an eCard for delivery on Boisot's birthday, and the reminder was repeated yesterday. Max would have been amused by the persistence of online identities but for me it was a reminder of great loss occasioned by his premature death back in September.

One budding approach that may help unify your team, your business unit and your organization to ultimately enrich and enhance your corporate culture, such that all employees feel as though they are moving forward as a connected group, is through the deployment and utilisation of an internal enterprise-wide micro-blogging platform. How Micro-Blogging Came To Be. This was the beginning of a new term; micro-blogging. The actual micro-blog entries are short, concise and succinct.
