Wikinomics-Wiki collaboration leads to happiness. - 2 views

  •  
    This is an awesome visual representation (that I fully intend on showing my boss) that shows the difference between collaborating through Wikis vs. collaborating through email. I feel as though this visual representation shows my entire point I am trying to make with my project, and will be a simple and concise way to show my idea to my boss, who seems to prefer visuals to discussion.
  •  
    This article peeked my curiosity because I was unsure of how the Wiki worked in the beginning of this course. Now I really like using it. It is also a nice way to communicate important information.
  •  
    We have used wiki collaboration for some projects at work, and the people that understand how to use it love it, whereas the people less familiar with it find it more confusing and prefer traditional ways like email collaboration. I think people just need to develop a comfort level with it, and then they can see that it is a very useful way of communicating ideas.

The Way We Are Working, Isn't - 0 views

  •  
    If you have a chance to read this book, it really gets you to think about how we have structured our work environments potentially to our overall disadvantage. I heard an interview with Schwartz on NPR, was intrigued, so got the book. He talks about four basic human needs: Sustainability/Physical; Security/Emotional; Self-Expression/Mental; and Significance/Spiritual. Schwartz asserts that we need elements of all four in our lives, including at work, to be fully functioning and growing.
