Wearables and Collaboration

“Wearable Technology: The Next Frontier”. The panel was composed of a number of experts: Yeves Behar from Jawbone, Mike Bell from Intel, Justin Butler from Misfit and Monish Perkash from Lumo Body Tech. Although the moderator asked great questions, as did the audience at the end of the session, no one talked about collaboration. The post Wearables and Collaboration appeared first on .

The Twin Challenges of Collaboration and Productivity

During the eight years from 2005 to 2012, output per hour expanded at an annual rate of just 1.5 per cent—the same as it grew between 1973 and 1996. More recently, productivity growth has been lower still. In 2011, output per hour rose by a mere 0.6 per cent, according to the latest update from the Labor Department, and last year there was more of the same: an increase of just 0.7 per cent. In the last quarter of 2012, output per hour actually fell, at an annual rate of 1.9 per cent. Americans got less productive—or so the figures said.

Collaboration and Your Economic Graph

Jeff defined his Economic Graph as “a tool that can “digitally represent” both every economic opportunity in the world” and “every skill required to gain those opportunities.” Combined with a database of “a professional profile of every worker in the world,” this theoretical tool would not only provide job-seekers with potential career destinations, but also — and here’s the disruptive bit — give them a clear idea of how they might arrive at those destinations.”

Basics of Healthy Enterprise Relationships

Nothing can make an enterprise more profitable than healthy relationships. Relationships with customers, suppliers, regulatory agencies, etc. Most of what we see today, that is called “collaboration” is not really, is it people talking AT each other on line, trying to be heard and recognized, and I believe ultimately trying to connect.
