Today I have been married 10 years, how cool it that! It certainly doesn’t feel like 10 years. I hope the next 10 are just as good if not better!

More on eLearning
I attended today a session on business cases and ROI for online learning initiatives run by the AHRI Learning & Development SIG. The SIG had sourced a couple of interesting speakers, the first from Deloitte and the second from Roche Products.

Ross Mayfield has a good summary on the productivity of far flung teams. He pointed me to an article (and another) from Fast Company, reading it just made me think of my time at Nortel Networks, the last team I had there was of 20 people spread over 8-10 countries across more timezones than IContinue reading “Dispelling the myths of global teams”
