Fellow author Mickie started an interesting conversation on her own blog about the need to change the way we’ve always done PowerPoint. As I think about it, I can’t BELIEVE we didn’t write a post about that in our book?! Amy mentioned powerpoint in her post on Learning experiences not Conferences, but only briefly. I […]

Last week I posted some thoughts about what we need to do about bad PowerPoint presentations in response to a posting by Mickie Rops at her Association Knowledge and Credentialing blog. For those involved in education or conference-related activities at their association the problem is particularly acute. We have conferences, congresses, symposiums, seminars, and countless […]
My friend/colleague Judith is in Sarajevo establishing an association management corporation to help real estate communities in emerging economies. It’s part of the effort of the International Real Property Foundation (IRPF), and its CEO Norm Flynn. They’re doing it through sponsored funding of a professional management corporation in each country which will manage several different groups of real estate professionals under one roof, or umbrella. That way, the organizations can have professional staff without the initial expense. Ultimate goal is to grow the management company so the associations own it and it’s self sustaining. Judith’s job is to go in, set up the corporation, hire the AE, train that person, and be the mentor. Already found clients too.
Many businesses routinely use global partners to solve staffing or timing issues - such as a consortium of International radiologists - where a radiologist in the U.S. read x-rays for doctors in other countries, and a radiologist in Europe or India will read x-rays for doctors in the U.S. Difference in time zones works to the advantage - ensures faster response time for doctors and patients who don’t want to wait. There may be any number of professional global sources - with shared expertise - who could finish certain association tasks while we sleep — and we can finish their tasks while they sleep?
Seth Godin talks about the scarcity shortage, i.e., how the value of something can hinge on how hard it is to come by. Well sure, if diamonds were a dime a dozen, that’s probably what they’d cost.
But when it comes to your meeting, the lack of scarcity can really hurt. This happened way back when, […]
The good folks over at CMSWatch report that many content management systems still do not fully support authoring on Vista/IE7.
As they point out in the post, this will be a growing problem for telecommuters as new PCs with Vista are purchased. Most corporations are sticking with XP for now (with good reason) but the home […]

A team of volunteers brainstormed what it could be.
I created a year of potential program topics in four tracks.
The program plan got rave reviews from both volunteer leaders and association staff.
