The Cohen-Miller Report: We Re-orged The Farm, But We’re Still Stuck In Silos « In-HOWse
july 2010 by jbreazeale
Having worked with lots of teams in a wide range of in-house creative and marketing environments, I can say with certainty that the phrase we hear more than any other is “we’re a very siloed organization and we’re going to re-organize so we can collaborate more”.
Siloed? What does that mean? That you work in a barnyard?

ChangeThis :: The Gobbledygook Manifesto
june 2009 by jbreazeale
“Oh jeez, not another flexible, scalable, groundbreaking, industry-standard, cutting-edge product from a market-leading, well positioned company! Ugh. I think I’m gonna puke!” In every company description, on websites, in press releases, in corporate pamphlets, the same adjectives get used over and over until they are meaningless. Scott analyzed thousands of these offerings and presents a collection of the most over-used and under-meaningful phrases…and strategies for making the most of these communication opportunities.

Leaders: Frame Your Messages for Maximum Impact - Management Essentials - HarvardBusiness.org
april 2009 by jbreazeale
A manager's job is, quite simply, to motivate people toward achieving a common goal. Succeeding at this job requires an array of communication skills, ranging from delivering a prepared talk to helping team members negotiate the best way to move ahead on a project. No communication skill, however, is more critical to the manager than the ability to frame an issue effectively.

Culture Surprises in Remote Software Development Teams - ACM Queue
january 2009 by jbreazeale
The goal of this article is to review various cultural differences likely to appear in the work setting and explore their implications for virtual collocation of software development teams. We begin with a definition of culture and various dimensions of cultural difference that have emerged. Then we examine two cases: (1) one in which the team members are collocated; and (2) one involving the team in virtual collocation. From this analysis we draw some practical implications.
