Let’s assume that you have news about the market in the form of text. This information can be derived from websites, studies, reports, blogs, books, or social networks.

For sake of simplicity imagine that you recorded behavior data and can be compared to collective behavior measures of a group based on the content that they generate. Therefore, the main properties of the content are efficiently described with the help of AI summarization, top list of keywords, and topics. The following chart illustrates how such results make up a summary board. Compare your data to the community Sure, you can collect information with diligence and loo...

Simple reason why

We have learned to keep questioning the meaning of our work, it becomes a great trend to look under the hood, not just unfold our full energy to prove our skill to our close community. Understanding ourselves better and check the purpose of our routine tasks speeds up the learning through our career. How can that meaningful discovery leverage to next phase of a career?

When is the best to ask why?

How to find the right momentum to start new things in business? There are smaller or bigger milestones in our career that we usually realize only in retrospective. Every moment that we live is singular but we are not able to have clarity and self-confidence to design the next step precisely. It is too complicated to put our situation in context and stick to the plan whatever happens. Nevertheless, a good career itinerary always helps to navigate our success and realize the right moments for bigger actions. In which part of the career cycle I am now? Let’s focus on the business career though it’s not strictly separable from social life. The progress of a career follows a periodic pattern that offers us the experience of good and bad. It is not that binary phenomenon rather a colorful journey. Much help is needed to understand whether we are in a stagnating phase of there is a booming opportunity just waiting on the doorstep.

What have I learned from my 12 years old son during the holidays?

Image
I have just arrived home from a long trip and dropped in the room of my son for a chat before he fell asleep. He told me stories about what happened with him in the school. He performed really well and I become curious about his method of learning. I knew that he does not spend much time with learning at home. He has so many other interesting things to do. He revealed that he prepares himself in the school right before the class then he listens carefully to the teacher. To the end of the lecture he is in the state that the lesson is memorized. So, at home remain only few things to recap. I thought that this principle can be leveraged well at work, too. I immediately remembered the lengthy meetings when we spent a lot of time to recall the known facts which were communicated in advance. During my many years in the business I faced such situations when most of the participants did not prepare for the meeting. It is not only a disrespect to others but root cause of huge loss of time...

# FlipMotivation started to measure the key values that motivate the healthy, creative and collaborative teamwork. There is a voting process that we support online. Be part of the learning experience and read our regular news. Try to apply our fresh value set, but if you think that your motivation is driven by different values just raise you voice and build up with us a better langue, a fresh map of purposes in the digitally seasoned business life.

Usually, the mandate is already in place when the users see the new software or hear a non alterable fact about rolled-out new business functions.

Nice environment, motivating project goal, good people. This stunning condition sounds very good when we plan a new project. We come together in places which is organized and ornamented according to the new standards. We can feel like a startup company when we kick off a new service development.

The problem solving related to whole scale of business subjects (e.g. software development, organizational change, vendor selection, knowledge sharing) are equally dependent on the applied business software, organization management, corporate assets including the culture itse...
