“Will we allow anonymous postings? Boy, if you ever want to sidetrack an internal meeting about your intranet, this is a great question to ask. Whether it’s internally or for one of my clients, every time the question of anonymity comes up, there’s bound to be a fight. There will be...
How did you first learn how to join a team and start contributing? Where did you first learn leadership skills? When was the first time you learned conflict resolution? I don't know about you, but I first learned these skills as a little kid when I first joined the basketball team. ...
Do the top developers for Google’s Android operating system use Blackberries? Do the IT guys developing Windows 7 use Macs? Do the folks at WordPress use Blogger to host their personal blogs? These are purposely ridiculous questions – wouldn’t the best developers use the actual tools they...
So how did we get here? What forces of nature combined to make SharePoint the "do everything", "installed everywhere" solution that it has become today. It is probably best to take a look at the vision behind the original SharePoint concept. In my opinion, Microsoft was...
