O reader! Had you in your mind
Such stores as silent thought can bring,
O, gentle reader! You would find
A tale in everything.

February 3, 2012 | Posted by Erudyte Ltd | pp. Euan Semple Banning social sites at work is for wimps – real managers have conversations with their time wasters about wasting time.

December 1, 2011 | Posted by Erudyte Ltd | pp. Euan Semple It is interesting how often in my work with clients our conversations turn to the words we use. Words to describe the business benefits of what we are doing. Words to make using the tools attractive to colleagues. Words to clarify what they expect from vendors and to help see the wood for the trees. We invariably agree that we don’t yet have the right words for any of it!

October 10, 2011 | Posted by Erudyte Ltd | pp. Euan Semple I really do believe that the corporate myth is about to fall apart under its own weight. I try to excite as many people as possible about the opportunity this represents and to give them the tools to claw their way out of the crap before they get buried.

July 7, 2011 | Posted by Erudyte Ltd | pp. Euan Semple One of the biggest threats to social media use inside businesses is lack of patience. There is a lot of pressure to “deliver”. This pressure will kill attempts to be social. Be patient. Be patient when people don’t join your system fast enough. Be patient when people don’t learn as quickly as you expect. Be patient when people get things wrong. Be patient with yourself when you make mistakes.

June 15, 2011 | Posted by Erudyte Ltd | pp. Euan Semple The intensity of the relationships you establish when you first get into things are never really repeated. I get nostalgic for that first flush of enthusiasm for blogging – a bit like your first year at secondary school or at university. The friendships you make in those times tend to stick with you for life. Blogging is the same.

May 5, 2011 | Posted by Erudyte Ltd | pp. Euan Semple A business where everyone blogs. Everyone thinks about what they are doing and writes about what they are doing. From the top to the bottom, the edges to the middle. Everyone awake and bouncing off each other intellectually as they get more and more effective at whatever they do.
