Dealing with Dilemmas
One of the consequences of realising that other people are different to ourselves and, therefore, will not necessarily react in the way that you expect to situations is that we are often faced with dilemmas in interpersonal relationships because our behaviour will determine the way that the relationship progresses.

Mein Weltanschauung
Although a few of my previous posts have hinted at this subject I think that now that I have got the initial burst of activity on the blog out of the way it is time to make a clearer statement of where my thoughts are coming from and, therefore, put some context on to the content of the blog.
Of course, in keeping with the overall theme of the blog I should stress that this is work in progress and "feeding my ignorance" remains the main aim - trying to identify the context for this is important, but it does not mean that the context is fixed. As my learning increases, so the context may shift.

World 2.1 - Part 2
The advent of what is collectively known as social networking requires a rethink of how we relate to and communicate with other people both inside our businesses and in day to day life. This post is focussed on the former, but the lessons can be carried across with a significant degree of validity.

On Seeing (Inventing?) Patterns
It is a well known fact that we humans have a built in propensity to identify patterns where none exist; to see causal linkages that are, at best, tenuous; to attribute to skill something that was the result of good luck; and to imply intention where none was meant.

World 2.1 - Part 1
This is another post inspired by one that I have previously posted on the company intranet, but which has much wider implications. That one was entitled World 2.0 - the change this time is to reflect the fact that my own thinking has moved on since then. The new forms of interaction available to us in this day and age require that we rethink the way in which we can relate to others.

Dumbing Down
I often watch TV series/programmes about subjects that I have a particular interest in and, inevitably, those of which I have most knowledge always seem to come across as superficial or shallow or just plain dumbed down. I wonder to what extent that is a problem for the media generally.

A Blogging Newbie?
You might think so, but the reality is that I have been doing the non-web version of blogging for a long time and, indeed, I've even had a real blog for a few years on our company intranet - so with a limited (very limited??) readership.
