Fortune article showing iPads in with other computers. I wonder what the graph would look like with all tablets included?
The groups don’t include tablets in with computers in these metrics. That makes sense in several ways. I find myself using my iPad more than my computer, outside of work activities anyway. Just makes you winder how they’ll measure these types of stats in the future. For all those smart analytics friends I have, that’s for them to figure out one day…
Is data the thing that the business cares about, or is it processes and decisions that the business is trying to enable that is important? If you start with the processes and decisions that are most critical to your organization, and then identify the data that is feeding those processes, you’re going to do a lot better job of scoping, prioritizing and building a value-driven business case for your data management investment.

Good article on the difference between technology and strategy. In summary, strategy is strategic and technology is tactical. You use technology to achieve your strategy. But the two are very inter-related.
Article title: “12 Non-Negotiable Traits to Work on My Team”
Good post on how to act and be a professional. These are all ways that I personally try to behave in my work efforts. Maybe that’s just my parent’s work effort coming through. Maybe it’s that I realize that you need all these elements to not only personally succeed, but to have your team succeed as well. That and I’m open and willing to change and adapt to make sure that these traits are displayed by myself on the team to lead by example. The problem is that not everyone is willing to change, adapt, and be flexible as that is their personality type. Unfortunately, those are some of the key traits on this list…
Frankly, I wouldn’t care how much anyone on my team did or didn’t like their job or the work they are doing on a regular basis. Just show up with these characteristics and everyone will succeed. My goals do not include to hold you back as an employee. I’d rather lift you up. Without demonstrating these traits, it’s kinda hard to do that a lot of times. Positive feedback is tough to come across to deliver to those members of your team. You have to find something, though!
It’s just so hard to do…
and it makes so many people happy!
Give it a shot!!!

“Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.” Proverbs 29 – http://read.ly/Prov29.14.MSG
I have no idea how true this is. Just thought it was interesting…
Negotiating a deal? Check out your opponent’s right hand for some clues on how vengeful they might be (no joke). Here are the final three paragraphs of the article (http://bit.ly/hUkp57).
Good stuff… ”Testosterone is a hormone associated with status-seeking and a need to save face,” notes Adam Galinsky, the Kellogg professor who co-wrote the study. “It makes a powerful difference in how people respond to situations.
“People with low testosterone — that is, with a noticeable difference in the length of their second and fourth digits — may perceive that they’re being treated unfairly, but they’re likely to go sulk in a corner.”
However, Galinsky says, “If you’re looking across a bargaining table at someone who has a slight difference, or no difference, between the second and fourth digits, be careful.” Make an extra effort to mollify that person and stroke his ego, because doing otherwise is “like slapping a sleeping tiger.”
Spot on…
And tough to do sometimes… 😉 😏
