Speedtest.net is my go-to resource for Internet speed testing, whether it's checking whether there are service problems, or making sure that event venues where we have video over IP links to speakers around the world have sufficient bandwidth. One of the great additions to the service is a compilation of all their data to show bandwidth speeds around the world.

What motivational methods make some of you cringe (or worse)? This is one of the questions that Dan Pink posed to the group participating in his live chat at The Book Club on the New Yorker. In response to the &# Don’t make mistakes because I (mgr,owner, boss) will think less of you&# motivational method, he said: That’s one of the most insidious, imho.

Failure and the fear of failure are two completely different things. That’s what I wrote in my copy of Rework at the end of the “Learning from failure is overrated&# section.

Some of my most interesting work in in helping clients create effective processes for participative strategy. The traditional approach to strategy is that it is generated in the executive suite or by highly-paid consultants, then it is communicated to staff, usually rather ineffectively. There is an increasing recognition that many people across the organization have invaluable insights into industry change, competition, client requirements, innovation and other issues that will help shape strat

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

A commenter on my last blog post The latest country comparisons in that key economic driver: broadband speed questioned whether bandwidth does drive economic growth. While it is easy to take that for granted, there are in fact many studies that have demonstrated this fact. One of the more interesting is a Booz & Co study that compared labor productivity growth over 5 years with bandwidth, titled Digital Highways: The Role of Government in 21st-Century Infrastructure.

I have had a lot of teachers throughout my life. Some taught me because they were paid to, some because they were supposed to, and some because they wanted to. Many of the best teachers in my life, though, had no idea that they were teaching me. (Or, perhaps more accurately, that I was learning from them.). At the top of this list of unintentional teachers are kids, especially my own.

No, this post is not to celebrate recent sales wins. It is an echo of a blog post I read by Mike Myatt, where he delineates between customers (who buy goods and services from us) and clients (with whose care we are charged) in clear and emphatic fashion. After attending a terrific Executive Education course, "Leading Professional Services Firms," in late 2008, I was struck at the time by how consistently the professors and attendees used the words "firm" and "clients," rarely used the word "c
