Hiring entrepreneurial people
Frank Arr has posted an interesting email from Tim Holborn with several interesting ideas. Tim states that over the last couple of years he has been involved in the creation of many ideas, but not product.

If also could be because my brain is not thinking straight after spending most of last nightContinue reading “HR = Socialism?”
This is no good

For example, what are the real implications of instant messaging or VOIP? How should the change program be managed, what should it cover and how can weContinue reading “Managers misuse techonlogy”
Do you have sex in the office?
Ok, I know the title probably got you attention, but it does happen. How do I know this? Well BP in the UK have recently sent a memo to all managers requesting people to stop having sex in the office. How did they know?
