How do you build a “healthy” organization?

I would interpret healthy as having a focus on a long term strategy which involves keeping in the back of your mind the retention of organizational data both in an internal intelligence sector as well as in context to preserving as much customer data as possible.

Both of these factors represent factors of business continuity should it ever come to a merger or acquisition down the line. Then this information can be utilized to increase the price and give you a better position to negotiate from.

Further, the management should be able to pick the brains of their employees and teams by means of inner-organizational crowdsourcing. This can be achieved through internal social media tools implemented.

Why NOT to quit email but rather educate the people surrounding you

There are several experiments out there currently which promote that the solution to email problems is to quit it totally.

Since I do not agree on the motives exploited because of the fact that most of them are based on convenience I took a closer look at email in this podcast, addressing some historical points of view and proving that email is still worthwhile. And of course offering a simple solution about how to get email in line.

My conclusion is that Email still has it’s place in most of todays corporate communication – both organizational and inter-organizational. Along with the fact that it is more valuable and beneficial to educate the organization members and people around you about how to use email efficiently thus cutting down hassle of communication.

Really looking forward to some interesting discussion,
