Great Storytellers, Great Leaders
Recently I had the pleasure to join an outstanding group at the home of my good friend Peter Guber, one of Hollywood’s greatest moguls, most innovative thinkers, and finest storytellers. In the room were Oscar winners, top business execs, and even one of America’s top engineers, all united by their ability to tell great stories.

About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.” The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector.

Why Bad News Sells
I was having a meeting with the director of a division of child services for Virginia the other day and we got on the subject of reports about foster parents. She told me how disheartened she was that stories of poor care make the front page but stories like the one about a man in the Northern Neck who fostered a teen with AIDS through his last year of life go unnoticed. A quick check of the headlines on any major news website confirmed her viewpoint. That got me thinking about why bad news sells.

How to Create & Profit from Your Facebook Page
Facebook now has over 750 million active users and is the 2nd most visited site in the world after Google. Given these facts, Facebook offers a huge potential to profit and grow your business, and it’s free to create your business page. A Facebook business page, sometimes called a fan page, is more than just another way to connect with prospects and customers online. Your business page can drive more traffic to your company website, build your e-mail list, announce special offers and promotions, provide value and improve your relationships with your prospects and customers.

When a person joins your business page, it is published in their News feed so all their friends can see, giving it a viral quality.
