Digital stress, however, is different. There is no natural end to the stress cycle as per hazards or threats in the environment. The stress keeps building, albeit initially at lower levels than the stress of a significant danger. But it builds and does not end. This can lead to physical and psychological health impacts: burnout. And it can be hard to recognise the signs until it’s too late.
Read moreThe Missing Links in Modern Marketing - Points of Conversion and Interpretation of Data
We have talked about being data-driven for years now, but for most of us, there is still a long way to go. Especially social media have given us easy access to a lot of different metrics. The issue is that almost all of these are volume-based:
Read moreThe Challenges of Efficient Roadmapping
Roadmaps. And those problems that we seem to face again and again when creating them. I haven’t met a single product manager - including myself - who has not gotten a paw stuck in the countless traps that are luring just around the corner when setting out as a visionary. Luckily, there are ways to avoid those traps, if we keep aware of the forces - time pressure, expectations and investors - that will influence our decision making.

Organizational change is on the tip of many tongues these days, and CEO’s are investing more in culture change programs. Still, many feel overwhelmed by the possibilities, and don’t know how or where to start.
Read moreFrom bad hires & boring meetings to collaboration, data and the latest in CMS.
Along the way towards our Boye 19 Brooklyn Conference, we have worked closely with many of our speakers about their pioneering work so we could share their insights with the community. The result has been several great articles, interviews and a lot of following discussions.
Read moreThe rise - and upcoming fall of employee experience
It seems to me, that many organizations have jumped too quickly on this new buzzword and consultants and analysts alike have now found a new pot of gold after the GDPR rainbow. Don’t take my word for it, see Forrester on The Employee Experience Playbook for 2019. As one of our members said at a peer group meeting: Upon reading it, I felt like the ship had sailed and we were too late.
Read moreMoving from anecdotes to data through shared services
We worked closely with one museum, who continuously chose their lowest performing type of exhibition to be set up again. I think they were perhaps too passionate and too close to the project. It’s not really surprising that we see this in the art and culture industry, but I know that this challenge goes beyond our industry.

This was relatively simple, but it saved 20 hours of mind numbing work each week for that team. It wasn’t optimal, but it worked, and it allowed us to showcase quick results and gain support for increased work with automation, which is what a pilot project should be aiming for.
Read moreShow me the money. Not the data.
I see myself as a bridge between the models that I build and the business. There is a huge problem where data scientists are seen as data wranglers and not communicators. They sit in the corner and build a model and then have difficulty explaining the implication or how this is actionable in a clear way to the business.
Read moreThe Office 365 Adoption Challenge: “I barely have time to do my work. When am I supposed to find time to innovate?”
The challenge for O365 adoption, is that the overwhelming parts, tend to overshadow the value part. Hence the reason I believe we need to be transparent about the obstacles and leverage various resources including change management practices to guided us successfully through the transition.
Read moreOffice 365? Great for Documents—Not so Much for Employee Communication
In this article, Frank Wolf—from the mobile-first employee communication platform Staffbase—explores the effectiveness of Office 365, especially as it relates to employee communication and adoption. Are his arguments one-sided? Only to a degree. Are they sound? Very much so. But judge for yourself and let us know. You can also read our previous interview with Frank Wolf, in which you’ll get a good sense of his vision for the future of internal communication.
Read moreNo more culture change programs. We need a culture revolution
Gallup found 90% of people in Western Europe are not engaged at work. If their study was conducted in the early 1800’s, during the first wave of industrialization which pushed millions of people into unrelenting factory jobs, you might expect it. It was carried out in 2017, which makes it almost unfathomable given the billions spent on culture, leadership and engagement annually.

Based on a recent member request, we’ve collected this short list of recommended Typo3 partners in Germany. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but hopefully it can help as a shortcut to the marketplace.
Read moreThe Future Might be Distributed
I suspect we might be reaching an inflection point in the evolution of content technology. We might be reaching the point where vendors stop pretending that servicing large web properties from a single CMS is a good idea, and instead they begin to embrace and even celebrate the idea of orchestrating content from multiple providers.

There is a thing called Content Operations, and yes, it seems to be broken.
Let's take a look at this growing discipline, and discuss why it has become a priority for so many organisations.
