If I were starting a retail company today, my first call would go to Santa to sit on my board. Who better to guide a sprouting retailer on production processes, fulfillment and more importantly, customer experience? While Santa may be too busy at the moment to attend to such a matter personally, I think it …
Back in the mid 1990’s I attended a wedding where the father of a friend was showing off his new digital camera. Groups of friends, families and wedding party members were clustered together waiting for their turn to pose for “digital” photo. The process was largely familiar: everyone stands together, smiles, a quick “1-2-3-say-cheese” countdown, and then the camera’s …
The fact that it gets dark earlier this time of year means that we have more time to study the night sky. For thousands of years, mankind has looked to the night sky in wonder while considering the seemingly numberless stars. A great deal of information has been gathered about the stars themselves, and scientists …
I recently shared my thoughts on why CEOs need to embrace social media. The post was inspired by a study on the social media habits of Fortune 500 CEOs, which showed an alarming absence of these powerful executives on the most popular social networks. Today CEO.com released the findings of a follow up study that …
From an early age, I’ve been comfortable being the youngest person in a conversation. I had two older sisters and two energetic parents who liked to discuss and debate anything and everything around the supper table. I started kindergarten a year early and went to college before I was old enough to vote. I spent …

For the most part, it is about cramming my seemingly ever-expanding extended family into a small home and eating the traditional cornucopia of food staples synonymous with this great American holiday. …
Last week at the Eloqua Experience conference, I was shocked at the stats confronting businesses. Two-thirds of CMOs believe marketing ROI will be their top effectiveness measurement by 2015. Effective use of sales intelligence increases revenue productivity per sales rep by 17%. 90% of the data in the world today was created in the last …
In all honesty, I think we are all still figuring out how to harness the power of social media, but here are a few activities that I have seen make an impact. Leverage your CEO. A CEO with a strong social presence, in an authentic voice, can be the most effective weapon in your arsenal. …
Growing up, I believed you were defined by a cortex. My dad, they’d say, is as left-brained as they come. And who could argue? He made a living turning zeros and ones into functional software, and once rebuilt a 1960 Porsche Roadster—ground up, from engine to electrical—using a single technical manual. My mom? She couldn’t …
As a CEO, buzzwords or phrases don’t get me excited. I’d rather show my customers the money than some newfangled acronym or buzzword. Today, big data seems to be one of the most hyped terms in tech. It’s been PowerPointed and white boarded in conference rooms to death. It’s been lauded by tech media as the next …
