Focus is on Göteborgsvarvet, developing strong and creative writing skills and becomming a better management consultant.

Someone said to me that all good things are three so that's why there is a focus on the above mentioned areas.

Göteborgsvarvet, approximately 21km on tarmac. I ran 2km yesterday so I guess it wont be that hard to run the extra 19km. With quality workouts both for strength and stamina is my recipe.

The recipe for developing a strong and creative writing skill is, in my world, the same. I need to be strong at words and have a good stamina in writing to the end. What I do write is not that interesting, as long as it gets done. Its fun to write and try to describe the image that says more than a thousand words in less than thousand words. Fun, fun, fun.

Management consultancy, a pretty new area of being better at advicing clients in their B2B world and giving them the pitch and leads for being number one when we are finished no matter if it is a small or big project/function being developed.

B2B, trade of products or services, between a manufacturer and a wholesale company often consists of big transactions as opposed to B2C which often consists of small transactions. 

The manufacturer is the supplier and the wholesale company is the customer in this case.

Being a supplier in this kind of B2B chain could be quite complex since there could be raw materials involved where these are put together in a production chain. Refined and if it is a producing organisation, the raw material is the product that somehow will be shipped to the customer who in his turn will refine or trade the product one step further.

The customer is in his turn often a supplier but could as well be performing directly against end customers.

Trading documents or information between the organisation is often sent through fax or some kind of integration message between procurement systems or directly between ERP systems.

Every expert on new media (I call it that but social media is also a word for it) says "you must use social media or else..." or "social media is so good at...at...erh...chat?"
the second example was to emphasize how dangerously quickly people amend new technologies or techniques but they actually have no clue what its good for but everyone is speaking about it so it must be good and I and you and everyone else must use it.

The problem with new channels or media in organizations (I think of the ones that has owners that want to make money) that it cost resources that needs to be calculated with in the process of incorporating it in the workspace?

I havent heard any Social media entrepreneur or New media evangelist that says "Use this, but remember that it will cost resources of some kind in the beginning" and I understand all the positive effects of being out there in new channels and learning new things, getting new perspectives and ideas, but there is negative parts as well.
I see three big issues with implementing social in an organization

• it costs resources that needs to be taken from something else
• stress can occurr if this is handled incorrect by the persons involved
• Its hard to know which new media/channel the bet should be placed on since new appear and old disappear

If there is good solutions or arguments to this there will be no problem to spread all new tools even to the most industrial old school organisations but remember that  there is actually people thinking of the economical aspects and consequences.
