Q&A
  • Why is getting connected important to make things happen?

    Because we are entering a new way of working and doing business, it mimics the way the Internet works. I am working with several teams working virtually using Email, IM and Skype. People pop up, have a quick chat and then disappear again.

  • What is the best connection you have made or received?

    One is Howard Rheingold, who has been very supportive, also members of E-mint (the UK Association of Online Community professionals); which I am a founder member of.

  • What are your top tips for making great connections?

    Be nice, be interested in what others are doing and be as generous as you can. Also, everyone is an expert in something and it’s probably the thing you know very little about. Finally, we just haven’t got the time anymore to hold ‘large slabs’ of knowledge, things change so fast, so we have to each hold bits and swap.

  • What tools or resources do you use to keep in touch with people?

    Email (a lot), Outlook, business cards, lists, a workbook, bits of paper, Facebook, del.ici.ous, Skype, email lists, face to face meetings, IM etc
