Nonprofit organizations do better when their board members and staff collaborate effectively. One of the board's biggest responsibilities is strategic planning. In most nonprofits, creating the annual strategic plan is a very time-consuming (and painful) process. It starts with a face-to-face meeting, then dozens of emails with document drafts, revisions and comments start flying around. Phone calls and meetings multiply unheeded. An unlucky soul who has volunteered to put everything together would spend hours comparing pages and sentences between different versions. As you can imagine, this whole process could take up months!

which has no design or navigation intelligence is a like handsome man with no brains. It may be nice to look at him but anyone would rapidly get bored with such a partner. Same thing happens on the web. While many strive to build super-good-looking web sites, only few really understand the strategic value of building highly navigable and easy to understand web sites. Why? Because we have not yet learned to think with the eyes and heart of our future readers and fans, and we unconsciously keep pushing things, as if such readers could be molded to appreciate, like and read what we want.

Found a great manifesto expressing how I feel towards the internet.
The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free. Look at what other people are doing, not to compete, imitate, or compare . . . but... With the emergence of new social media the ...

I started using Yammer, a free Twitter-like messaging system for businesses, last year. I think of it as my social media company's private Twitter feed. When I post a comment on the feed, colleagues can comment on it and attach files. I often need to go back and access a certain point in a conversation, which is much easier to do on Yammer than in a long e-mail chain. We use Yammer to archive information as well. When we're getting ready for a presentation, we assign each client a hash tag, just as you would on Twitter. As we collect documents related to a client, we attach them to comments containing the appropriate ...

Having defined a framework for collaborative systems and generic task
types, we can re-examine what a scenario is, and how we can use it for
evaluating collaborative systems. A scenario is an instantiation of a generic task type, or a series of
generic tasks linked by transitions. It specifies the characteristics
of the group that should carry it out, and the social protocols which
should be in place. It describes what the users should (try to) do at
the requirements level, but not how they should do it at any of the
lower levels of the framework. Scripts dictate how the users will carry out their tasks, at any of
the three ...

For very small business, I mean 3 or 4 users companyes, Google Apps it's not so cheap. In fact in this kind of business the only thing really needed is Gmail. Pay 50$ for each user it's not a low price for an email service. Ok, I can use the Standard version, but as a reseller I need more warranties. If tomorrow Google vhanges the terms of the Standard service, I don't want problems with my clients. What do you think about it? Regards. We have setup the Premier Edition for many 1-5 user companies. $50-$250/year really isn't a lot to pay for such an important business communication tool. I would ...
Hi. I want to explain a bit about my issue, then ask a question. I have searched through Google help and the web at large and didn't find anything that directly related to my issue. I'm the sysadmin at a mid sized company and as part of our layered internet securities, we run IE 8 with default internet zone securities set to "high". We then have a small applicaiton that can add sites to the trusted sites zone where securites are set to "medium high". We have to lock this down with Group Policies as some of our users are tech savvy enough to know how to dial down the securities, but not tech savvy enough to ...
