How much is an engaged social customer worth?

Last year an employee was sued for taking the Twitter followers he’d amassed with him when he left his company. The case focused attention on just how much a Twitter follower was worth.

Every year since 1970, people have taken one day out of the year to celebrate our planet. Earth Day, April 22nd, was instituted as a way to raise awareness about the impact we have on our planet. Many people actively preserve natural resources every day, taking the message of Earth Day with them to work, school, lunch – everywhere they go. But what about the thousands who let today’s lessons fall by the wayside as soon as Earth Day is over?

Does location matter on Twitter?

Last week I shared research that can predict the movements of people within a disaster area by analysing their mobile phone usage in the months prior to the disaster. Such uses for big data are becoming commonplace. Google Flu Trends has largely been a success, albeit with a well publicised mishap during the latest American flu season.

Work is not a popularity contest…oh, wait…yes it is

The need to maintain great relationships at work has never been stronger than today. Organizations are flatter, work is more collaborative and the future will bring even more of the same. The further we get from the industrial age workplace structure of our parents, the more important gaining the cooperation of our peers and even of our subordinates becomes.

On the Importance of Trust in Business

A few things happened recently that, together, gave me cause to think about trust, the role it plays in our lives, and (for this post) in business.

Joe Citizen is skeptical (if not paranoid) about what the government is doing, and Jane Employee doesn’t trust her company’s leadership.
