		<description><![CDATA[Michael Fauscette in a post out totay entitled Evolution of Change: Signs for the Future of Business describes very succinctly the pattern of evolution that is signaling dramatic and fundamental change for business and with a picture that is starting to emerge that is almost staggering in its depth and breadth of change potential.

With a well written load in lead to position about the future of changed business and business models he talks about the advances in business computing in easy understandable terms. For any one in business or who contemplating doing something commercial be it big or small, I would recommend you book mark this as a useful reference to use as you expand your vision]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week as a team, we  have been putting a great deal of additional energy into some amazing innovations that we have involved in developing at work. These have potential to lead coming change in our industry, being business intelligence, to also make our customers very happy. Our dilemma now is do we keep doing what we are good at and risk missing the boat or do we go for it with the potential to distract on a completely new challenge?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a consultant most is know that much of our work is detailed and exploratory. Making change means we need to study and discuss the gaps in the “what is” position so you can have a discussion about changing that state. This takes planning thought and collaborative skill to get people to dig in to the detail and then go a new way to fix the problems we find. That process can be both continuous and radical. Either way it happens best if the process is fun so people enjoy engaging to get detail information and explore looking for solutions and best practices.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week in Melbourne, I had a great lunch with my son. He talked abut his city based vocation as a building construction manager It is not without hazard when it comes to parking he told me. Later he sent me a very funny letter written to the Melbourne City Council about a parking issue written by one of his aggrieved mates.

I send it to my very good friend, Lawrence Berezin for an opinion, being he is Lawyer in New York. He in turn sought  wider views in his regular web publication “New York Parking Ticket”. In this he very kindly added some great publicity about our National Song Waltzing Matilda. Plus he got some great comments from his readers including some nice ones about us Aussies. Here is his post that included my son’s message. He headed it The-Wacky-World-of-Parking-Tickets.

In this fun site Larry takes what to most is an emotive subject and makes it not only advisory and educational but practical too. Although about New York City Parking it has huge appeal with everyone who parks their car in any city anywhere in the world.  Go and make yourself known to Larry (as he prefers to be called by his mates) and let him know what you think about the things he writes. He always replies so you wont regret it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This may be the best 10 minutes of essential information you can get to help you understand and pass your next creative leadership challenge.  A question put by Dan Pink is, "if you reward something do you get more of the behavior you want and if you punish do you get something you get less." 

A popular myth in business and life is that it is only money that motivates. For routine work this may be true but even with just rudimentary cognitive skills it may be worse. Then the profit motive gets unhinged from purpose and bad things start to happen. 

This is discussed in this Royal Society for encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) Animate Video - “Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us”   Read more and enjoy this excellent video…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers of our Performance Controller blog come from many non English speaking counties where I am quite sure they already know well about translation tools. 

But for the English based readers I would venture to say it would be rare they see the value of subscribing to and translating to say a Russian website.

I do and  I am often pleasantly surprised by some of the high quality and leadership information I get. Give it a try and perhaps see if you can find new opportunities to link up and grow.

Another example  is I am reading a new book called World Class IT now. that I would recommend. Here is a précis of a book review I was sent recently that in turn I sent on to a Thai colleague in Thai.

The practical implications of this are that language in business is no longer a barrier as we can communicate with literally anyone. It is just that simple.

		<description><![CDATA[In a context of understanding the next generation of performance management thinking, to overcome behavioral change barriers using social networks, a recent Wikinomics debate on relationship limits got my interest.

This debate asks the question:

If its true our neocortex has a finite limit to have only approximately 150 meaningful relationships, then what is social networking achieving?
