    AP. IRS. Benghazi. Rather than jumping into the heated battle of competing narratives about Obama’s three “scandals” or ignoring this high-stakes story, follow it for insights on how to influence by labeling. Notice, for example, how the “scandal” label has stuck and even been repeated by Obama’s supporters? That’s the power of labeling soon and repeatedly, even spurring variations such as scandal-mania and tying other stories to the “Obama scandals” anchor, thus pulling down his reputation.

    She’d been fidgeting for some while. Suddenly, she turned and started talking to me.  For two hours we’d sat silently, side-by-side at the airport gate, waiting for our small commuter airplane. Leaning on the narrow metal armrest that divided our seats, she looked hesitant yet determined. “Now I need to be brave for my father. I’m not sure I know how.  I’ve always leaned on him for help, you see,” she nodded briefly at the man across from us. She continued, “We haven’t been on a plane since we flew here from Bogota last November.  My professor advised us to leave right…

    1. Adopt the Counter-intuitive Approach to Becoming Well-Liked Legend has it that British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and his political rival William Gladstone had a date with the same woman on different nights. When asked her impression of the two men, she said, “When I left the dining room after sitting next to Mr. Gladstone, I thought he was the cleverest man in England. But after sitting next to Mr. Disraeli, I thought I was the cleverest woman in England.” Disraeli’s talent is echoed in what Jack Nicholson’s character famously said to Helen Hunt’s character in the…

    Taxi Mike, Geek Squad and Vanderbilt University Medical Centertake the same successful approach to stand out from their competition, and you can too. Like you, they realize that traditional selling is dead in our digital world. Potential buyers can quickly compare products, as Daniel Pink eloquently suggests in To Sell is Human. Yet, unlike these three very different organizations, surprisingly few others have turned this truth into an opportunity to become the top-of-mind choice for their kind of customers. What is their secret? Simply this. They understand that extremely relevant…

After a series of intensive interviews, much depended on how we played this game. The rules were odd. Eight strangers, all high-achievers, were seated at a round table, with five flat cardboard pieces in various shapes in front of each of us. Ten other just-formed teams of applicants sat at different tables in the same large meeting room. Observers with notepads were standing right behind us around each table.

    Putting yourself in the other person’s shoes is a good thing.   And, if you’re a professional service provider, doubly so.   What goes on in your client’s mind?   What triggers them, to feel that they were served well, by you? A current project I’m working on is to create a product that will help professional service providers, who work remotely.  The core elements of this “help” are built around relationship and collaboration. When I am in a client role, I want answers to these three questions, related to relationship and collaboration: Did they listen?   If…

A failure with customers (Ouch!) is far more painful than any internally-facing problem, because it touches the people and companies that are core to the organizations’ success. The usual reasons offered for online customer community failure include: the members weren’t ready for online discussions; the software wasn’t what…

The specifics of the crime echoed a case from the mid-1990s, in which a 19-year-old student was poisoned with thallium. That case has once again been thrown into the media spotlight, but after 18 years the media has changed and the spotlight means a trending hashtag on Sina Weibo or an online petition addressed to the president of the United States.

As the population ages, with more people affected by Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative or age-related mental disorders, treatment costs are likely to go up sharply. Finding better ways of preventing and treating brain diseases is therefore becoming urgent. Understanding how the brain works is also important to keep our economies at the forefront of new information technologies and services.

We may live in the age of "ridiculously easy group formation," but if you've spent any time as part of a group, you know that all the most popular internet tools --email, list-servs, blogs, chats, and wikis --basically suck at group coordination. None of these tools are built to make it easy for large groups to make decisions together. It's not a coincidence, I think, that most of us rarely, or never, experience working in a group…

    Incredible complexity. So many moving parts. Almost impossible to fully understand and depict. These are all descriptions of business ecosystems. Yet people continue to try to understand the big picture—their environment—and how it affects their companies. There’s good reason to do so. If companies can improve their understanding of their ecosystem, they have an edge that can help them find opportunities, assess potential threats, find collaborators, and monitor trends. In this post, we’ll look at a few different ways organizations depict and understand their business ecosystems. The…

We’d get to look at the entire forest — the trails we followed, the lakes we missed, the cloud formations — and we’d feel awed and satisfied. We had been in that forest, but now we could see it from above. Today, it’s time for us to…

    Walking the Line between Networking & Advertising. Image by Ian Sane (flickr). Several weeks ago, I fell into a network trap. I asked someone for her business card without getting to know her first. We were at a networking event so it wasn’t rude or unexpected. She gave the card to me although I could tell she wasn’t thrilled with me or my request. People do this all the time. They exchange cards with acquaintances and then go back to the office and file them. Perhaps they add them to their emailing list and then they congratulate themselves: “Wow! I’m up to 1000 people on my…

    TweetFirst of all, thank you for your awesome feedback during the past weeks. We were quite busy lately and you might have noticed that we have just launched an update that added a new feature: to-dos. To-dos are super helpful since you are now able to assign to-dos to your co-workers. You can also order them in lists to keep track of what’s going on in the project and who’s responsible for what. You can also start discussions related to to-dos.   From now on you can also show/hide the Notism toolbar for a better user experience if you need focus time whilst working on a…
