I subscribe to and scan the risks digest every once in a while. Some of the stories make me love and hate technology. Here are 3 that I found particularly interesting this week.
This article Computerized ticketing reduces ticket writing raises interesting points for people who work on software systems that are supposed to “make life easier”
I got a nice surprise last week. Turns out I’m contributor of the month at InsideSpin. How is contributor of the month determined? Strictly by the number of posts in the discussion forum. Maybe I should look at my own post about misleading metrics
It’s a new technology forum for Entrepreneurs Seeking Excellence. It was started by Stephen Pollack, former CEO and founder of PlateSpin. The site is made up of a core of written materials and a series of member discussion forums. There is a wide range of business topics covering most operating disciplines of a high tech start up including:
- Sales/Marketing
- Product Management
- Product Development
- Customer Support
- Finance & Legal
- Board, Advisors and Governance
- HR
Stop by and check it out. I especially like the Product Management case study
How to keep updated
Along with subscriptions to the forum there is a linked in group to show your affiliation and twitter feed (@insidespinner) as well.
