Law makers have it easy don’t they? In my mind I see a bunch of people sitting around a large oval table drinking coffee and eating biscuits, all the while discussing the pros and cons of different laws. And then, finally, with a show of hands vote a new Act or Bill into being. I [...]

We talk alot about collaboration here in Huddle: team collaboration; inter-team collaboration; collaboration ‘outside the firewall’; but how about inter-software collaboration? We all use software tools, most of us everyday. We create word documents, spreadsheets, presentations – really a huge panoply of documents that we then save, email, version on our own local hard drives [...]

We all know that Mother Earth is in trouble. You only need to open a newspaper or click on a news site and the term climate change stares back at you accusingly. While there are some that say it’s all just hype, most of us believe what we’re seeing: the diminishing polar ice cap, the [...]

I’m a little ambivalent about this final post of the A to Z series. My right side is sighing with relief because sticking to such a strict list has been a challenge to my creative impulses. My left side is weary because it was happy for the fall back on those days that I felt [...]

Measuring the success of collaboration can be a very subjective thing because there are often no clear monetary results or return on investments. One person’s success is another’s failure. So how do you measure a successful collaboration strategy? Firstly, forget the monetary results. Instead focus on issues like increased employee satisfaction, getting tasks done more [...]

Three reasons why collaboration is good for you and the world around you. Charles Leadbeater on Innovation and Collaboration In this deceptively casual talk, Charles Leadbeater weaves a tight argument that innovation isn’t just for professionals anymore.

My brain is stuck on one thing today. No amount of arguing, negotiating or even begging with it seems to change that fact. The only thing W can stand for is The FIFA 2010 World Cup. As a South African it has more meaning to me than ever before and I hope you’ll forgive me [...]

Old school geeks have been collaborating since the beginning of the internet, if not before. I’ve seen it in action. A tricky piece of code gets posted on a forum and hours later the answer appears. How amazing is that? The first time I saw this I thought: “What’s the catch?” Cynical I know, but [...]

Collaboration cannot happen without users. That’s pretty obvious right? People need to get together to collaborate, either online or in person.

Now that Simon Cowell, American Idol judge and mastermind behind many incredibly lucrative and popular UK/US spin-offs, has left the American Idol judges’ table in order to create a U.S. version of the popular UK show X-Factor, it’s become very apparent just how many of these spin-offs there have been.

PR professionals have a tough job. They have to keep many people with different agendas happy. First, there’s the client who wants coverage, pages and pages of coverage – sometimes for very little cost and with very little news to share. Then there’s the journalist who wants hard hitting news. And finally, there is the [...]
