A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
After nearly 9 years of actively advocating for #NoeMail I guess I can now say this pretty safely: doing #NoeMail all along (and still going rather strong at it, by the way, in case you are wondering!) has always been an excuse, a distraction, an icebreaker of sorts to entice people into stopping for a minute in whatever they are … Continue reading Happiness at Work Starts with #NoeMail
It has been a while now since the last progress report I have shared over here around the topic of living “A World Without Email“, that experiment that has been going on for over 2.5 years now, where one day I decided to give up on corporate email altogether and, instead, make heavier use of … Continue reading A World Without Email — Year 3, Weeks 24 to 28 (Email Is Where Knowledge Goes to Die – The Presentation)
It has been nearly a month since the last time I put together a blog post over here on how I’m doing living "A World Without Email" and, while looking into the last few weeks, I have just realised that I’m almost on the closure of the second year experiment of giving up on corporate … Continue reading A World Without Email – Year 2, Weeks 49 to 51 (EMail Is Where Knowledge Goes to Die)
During the course of yesterday a couple of tweets (Thanks, Sandy & Stewart!) over at Twitter (Where I nowadays get most of my dynamic feeds, I must admit) I got a couple of strong reminders to eventually share with folks a quick update on how I have been doing over the last few days, in … Continue reading A World Without Email – Year 2, Weeks 11 to 14 (Email as a Collaboration Tool? No, Thanks!)
After an incredibly hectic (And frenetic!) week at work where I had to do a quick trip to Madrid to present at a Proof of Technology (a.k.a.

Continuing further along with the series of blog posts about busting myths with regards to remote / distributed work, I thought I’d cover today what has been one of my pet peeves from over the course of the last two decades and that, somehow, throughout the pandemic, it’s become perhaps a bit more poignant and … Continue reading Myth Busting – No Work / Life Balance In Remote / Distributed Work
Now that work streams #1 and #2 are out there, available to everyone interested who may be reading this blog, it’s a good time to talk about what has been, perhaps, one of the most profound transformations I have gone through myself when transitioning from big corporate world (while I was a salaried employee at … Continue reading Work Stream #3 – Public Speaking and the Exposure Economy
Even though I am now an independent freelancer working as a trusted advisor to clients around Social Business and Digital Transformation, after 17 years of corporate life at IBM, there are still some things that I guess don’t change much, or, at least, not as fast as I would have hoped for. One of those areas … Continue reading Relentless Networking and the Power of Now
It has been nearly two weeks since the last post that I put over here in this blog, so I am sure that plenty of you folks out there may have been thinking I have been on holidays, or taking the typical summer break, and that at some point in time I may well be … Continue reading There Can Be No Resilience Without Transformation
After having just returned from another business trip to the US (Westford, MA, this time around, to participate on a client workshop on Social Business and Knowledge Management to figure out whether they could blend and become one and the same, but more on that one later on…), I guess it’s probably a good time … Continue reading Life Without eMail – Year 6, Weeks 21 to 24 – (Newcomer Challenging for King Email’s Crown)
