Twitterprise: Bringing Whole Selves to Work

Marcia Conner — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:11:30 -0400

I began using Twitter out of spite. Fast Company had a mass website upgrade and some links weren't working. Our editor was suddenly unreachable (after saying we should contact her if we needed any help). I had a deadline and I was stuck. Looking for additional contact information in Plaxo, I saw she was tweeting from a cab, commenting on the messenger's bike beside her.

Twitter Your Time-of-Day

When a dear friend sailed away from the town he'd called home for decades, he probably assumed his small cadre of Twitter followers was alerted to his bon voyage. Not so. I only learned about his departure hours later when a mutual friend mentioned it in his updates and I followed a link.

Learn More With Less: Corporate Education in the Current Economy

I've directed large education organizations with huge budgets and small departments without a dime. Training rooms I managed accounted for the largest portion of real estate on a spatial corporate campus and another time I ran the training function of a startup out of my attic office. The journey has been a productive one, sometimes flush with money, other times only rich in experience. Each has its merits and all were educational.

Can Twittering Create an Economy of Words?

Business leaders tell me they can't use Twitter (or its enterprise-strength counterparts) because they don't have enough space to capture deep thoughts and bright vision. This admission often follows a conversation about why they don't want their people to use these tools, which ironically often has more to do with productivity and legalities than making room to say something big.

Answers to executives' tough questions about microsharing in the enterprise.

As the enterprise microsharing market grows all in, I hear from skeptical leaders befuddled by this trend, wanting to be reassured their people aren't simply wasting time. Here are specific questions I've received and how I respond to each.

The New Media Skills

It's time to review the new set of skills people of all ages require to succeed.

After my son told me recently he couldn't find one of his favorite books and that I should, "order another one online," he climbed into my office chair and set his hands on my laptop keyboard as if to suggest he would show me how if I needed his help. The novel part of this exchange was that he had just turned four years old -- and he hasn't bought anything (that I know of) online.
