bizsolutionsplus Featuring Solutions to Grow Your Business: “A Strong Partnership
Strategic partnerships are formed slowly and with careful due diligence. Remember, this is a working relationship based on trust and credibility, and whatever one partner says or does reflects on the other partner. Although both businesses can reap great advantages, they can also experience disastrous business results if the partnership doesn’t work. Here is what I look for in a strategic partner:
Similar values
An experience trail that can be easily assessed
Complimentary products and services
A strong brand image
Excellent client relationships
A healthy business foundation
Easy to get along with
Self-confident but not ego- or power-driven
Good sources of contacts
Serves the same geographic region
Looking to grow and expand
Excellent references
Similar working styles and habits
Similar leadership and management styles
Positive cash flow
Trustworthy and credible
Honest and open
Sincere
Highly skilled
Delivers both entrepreneurial and corporate experiences”

The new employee connection: Social networking behind the firewall

1। Quick access to knowledge, know-how and “know-who.” In their profiles, people can list skills, expertise and experience, as well as previous employers and people they know. As with LinkedIn, this helps simplify the job of locating people with the knowledge they need. “It’s a way of leapfrogging quickly through several degrees of separation to find out who knows something on a topic that’s of importance to you,” Shuen says. . And in turn, if they discover something cool, they want to spread the word. “This sense of benchmarking against others in social networking is different from anything we’ve seen before,” Shuen says.

Gurteen Knowledge Quotations (Gurteen Knowledge)

Gurteen Knowledge Quotations (Gurteen Knowledge): “To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803 – 1882) American Essayist & Poet”

The AM&AA conference in Chicago:Enterprise 2.0: Definitions, Indicators and Case Studies | The Executive’s Guide to LinkedIn Weblog

Enterprise 2.0 can serve as a catalyst for significant change. Here is the logic of the value proposition: 1. Globalization is changing the rules by introducing competitors and customers with different rules 2. Innovation is the core competency of the early 21st century 3. Innovation means new thinking and adaptiveness 4. Social networking and Web 2.0 empower individuals and allow them to form ad-hoc (emergent) groups 5. Emergent Web 2.0 tribes can be viable partners for organizations (enterprises, governments, etc.) 6. Empowered customers can help to make enterprises more competitive by taking a lead role in innovation
