Your sound can have as big an impact as your look. "When I hear a voice, I hear instantaneously who a person is," says Arthur Joseph, a Los Angeles-based voice and performance coach whose clients have included sports stars, CEOs and celebrities. Mr. Joseph, 66 years old, likes to think of every professional encounter, whether it's a business meeting, teleconference or networking event, as a performance—one that he has carefully rehearsed. Well before an event at which you have to speak, Mr. Joseph recommends recording yourself in a conversation and listening to it.

Rise of the networked enterprise: Web 2.0 finds its payday - McKinsey Quarterly - Organization - Strategic Organization
Every new technology has its skeptics. In the 1980s, many observers doubted that the broad use of information technologies such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) to remake processes would pay off in productivity improvements—indeed, the economist Robert Solow famously remarked, “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” 1 Today, that sentiment has gravitated to Web 2.0 technologies. Management is trying to understand if they are a passing fad or an enduring trend that will underwrite a new era of better corporate performance. New McKinsey research shows that a payday could be arriving faster than expected. A new class of company is emerging—one that uses collaborative Web 2.0 technologies intensively to connect the internal efforts of employees and to extend the organization’s reach to customers, partners, and suppliers.

And you definitely shouldn't have to download any special apps to get on the web instead of a cellular network. It should be automatic, built-in. You just use your phone. How do I make Wi-Fi calls? Dial as you would any other call. There's no app to open up or second number to manage.

It’s time to make the user flows a bigger priority in our design process. Design flows that are tied to clear objectives allow us to create a positive user experience and a valuable one for the business we’re working for. In this article, we’ll show you how spending more time up front designing user flows leads to better results for both the user and business.

“Tomorrow’s organizations will only thrive if they recognize the uncertainty that faces them and actively imagine the possible threats and opportunities that will emerge under different circumstances. No one can predict the future. But every organization is responsible for defining policies, creating culture and deploying infrastructure that will make them resilient in the face of change.”
Written by Alex Iskold and edited by Richard MacManus 0 diggs digg It is no secret that we live in an information overload age. The explosion of new types of information online is a double-edged sword. We both enjoy and drown in news, blogs, podcasts, photos, videos and cool MySpace pages. And the problem is only going to get worse, as more and more people discover the new web.
