Social networking, means business
It has been a long while since I have posted on my blog and I will endeavour to be more attentive and share my random thoughts.
I have been well and truly consumed in social networking, collaboration tools and researching what behaviours and culture prevent and are a barrier to innovation. I am excited with what I am finding! My networks and the tools I have started using are opening my eyes to a fascinating world of humans and their need to share.
I have met some amazing people and am constantly learning and developing my views and opinions. I love people, I am excited and filled with energy when I come across people like Jasmin Tragas and Luis Suarez. Its challenging to get the talent together and to join the dots in a very large global enterprise but social software is already doing this.
I have discovered experts around the world both internal and external, I feel so connected to the world and these people, and that must be a good thing! I have a great story of a very ‘late adopter’ in my team, who has, reluctantly become an early adopter. Having excitement, new ideas, new technology around you everyday, makes this happen.
The more I and others can spread the word about the use and connection that is created by engaging with people online, the more information will be shared – what an exciting future!
My next blog – creating the right environment for collaboration/Innovation.
Karen it’s great to see your enthusiasm too. Would love to hear more aabout the story of the very late adopter!
Look forward to reading your next blog post.

Congrats on starting the blog. I left Telstra earlier this month and placed a life bet on writing a book about this online revolution we’re experiencing. I also started to blog. Tell me what you think:

I also found you on Twitter. Keep in touch.
Cheers, Iggy
It is so funny the power of social media when you start using it, I moved up to Sydney and the connections that I already had up here was amazing. It is a very powerful tool and trying to understand it, is an interesting challenge that we are all about to tackle.
Echoing Julian’s thoughts – the challenge ahead is one that I’m looking forward to both inside and outside the company. Look forward to hearing more.
