Cohorts the Future of Learning!
Picture by Mark Finnern San Diego Harbor There was a time when people thought that MOOCs are the Napster moment for US Universities. Well, with an average completion rate of 4% you don’t unseat the established education model. Still, millions of learners take MOOC classes every year. Especially in the corporate world, MOOCs continue to make a huge difference. SAP …

Participants: Jazz Up Your Next Online Event!
We all love to complain about the current state of the art of online events? Talking heads droning on, not engaging enough, making you feel small, your opinion unimportant, it often feels like a late-night infomercial.

Flip Your Webinar to be a Collective Solution Development Session
Webinar fatigue is real. It is frustrating to listen to talking heads pontificating from our screens trying to sell us something. The lack of engagement makes you feel small; a faceless participant without a voice. Doc Searls always wanted to flip the keynote stage, as he felt there were so many interesting voices and experiences in the room, that can’t …
Best in Class Enterprise Community: Salesforce Trailblazers
At last year’s CMX Summit Erica Kuhl’s Building Community is Smart Business presentation was my favorite. She is the former VP of Community at Salesforce and was responsible for the meteoric rise of their Trailblazer community. I loved it because she delivered one cold hard community impact measure after the other. In summary, this is the impact the Trailblazer community has on Salesforce and its customers: …
Eric/Zoom if You Don’t Trust Us Why Would We Trust You?

Zoom Please Board the Cluetrain!
After high school a couple of friends and I visited Paris. La Grande Arche de la Défense had just been finished, which we of course went to check out. I remember coming up from the Metro station and the building is breathtakingly beautiful: big, massive glass, granite and steel. It was getting late in the afternoon and the Parisians were hurrying back …
