I got an e-mail from the folks at MindJet today letting me know that MM7 was now available. Disclosure: Because of my participation in the beta and other MM7 events I received a free license to MM7 Pro.
MindManager 7 helps users and workgroups “mind map” — lay out concepts and manage information visually. The technique […]
My buddy (and boss-though he’s been my friend longer than employer) Darren Rowse-an uber blogger is there ever was one-has been working on a series of posts on creativity.
While the series is aimed at bloggers, creativity is a central facet to almost any work. What brings those flashes of brilliance? Although I might joke that […]
When I was enjoying myself in sunny Costa Rica on vacation, the United States East Coast enjoyed one of those great consecutive snow blowouts that snarled traffic, cancelled school, and created general havoc for everyone.
Jet Blue got caught in the crosshair as well, stranding passengers on planes out on the runways for hours, canceling a […]
Sometimes, it is not the individual tip or trick that needs to be done to Pimp Your Work. Sometimes, your company needs to step up and figure it out so that everyone benefits from a productivity increase — including the company.
UPS is one of those companies. Being rolled out over the last two years, UPS […]
There is an interesting saying out there: the enemy of great is good.
I don’t know about you, but I had a hard time with that saying for a long time. After all, there are few things that anyone can be great at, but quite a few things that each of us can be good at.
And […]
I am fortunate that I have a large white board where I work that I can use for…whatever. At the end of 2006, I was staring at the white board, noting how much stuff was still showing up on the board even after being erased.
So I got out the cleaning spray and cleaned off all […]
Liz Strauss has a guest post from Grigor Ćorić on mindmapping. Grigor recommends FreeMind as an alternative to commercial mindmapping tools. Okay, I’ve tried FreeMind and I didn’t like it. I was spoiled already by MindManager from MindJet. Hobie Swan introduced me to MindManager and gave me a license to use. MindJet is also one […]
It is rare to get that much snark on a business blog. Just doesn’t happen much. We’re very concerned about being professional, pithy, and altogether not very Pimp Your Work by having some fun.
So, if you write for a business blog, have a little Friday fun reading about How to avoid negative comments on your […]
So let’s be clear: this Pimp is cynical of anything Corporate. In fact, working in a cube means it is management’s approach to the work and when you get to the nice panel office it is all about sacrificing for the corporation.
It was enlightening, then, to read about Pricewatershouse Coopers asking an old employee back […]
In my post yesterday, I noted that there are two ways executives and managers can get control of a company. The first way was through budgets.
Today we’ll examine what, in my Pimp Opinion, is the second way executives can get control (and start to change the culture) of a company.
The second way is through performance […]
