Heading home

Just one of the many great slides
used during the team presentations.
Today each team presented their case studies to the Faculty members (those running and presenting the conference) and to the other attendees.

Five teams with five very different approaches to presenting the same material. Each of the teams during the week had perceived different aspects of the material we have had presented to us. And so Carrie's presentation, which went into Rashomon effect, played out in large. The material that resonated with each group, they reflected back through their presentations. So we ended up with five different views of the past five days, through the presentations. All were funny, some were inspired and a couple were wonderful.

Prior to lunch and heading home, the summing up included a couple of great end of event exercises. The first provided the opportunity to set goals and have them followed up on. The later one gave every person a chance to express themselves in the context of the team. [you'll have to get selected for the CAUDIT Leadership Institute to find out the specifics :-) ]

Thanks to all the attendees and faculty members for helping me learn more about myself and them through their sharing.

Particular thanks and namaste to my team Abbey, Andrew, Joseph, Bruce, David, Yasna and Willie our faculty member.

I'll follow this up with a summary of why I think this event was valuable to me and could be valuable to others.

Yammer and puddles

Recently I was asked " What are the top 10 points you think are important to get across to staff at all levels in an organisation about Yammer? " My initial reaction was "Tough ask", mainly because I've seen great write ups on what organisations get out of Yammer but very few that talk directly to the user benefits. Many articles give the usual cop out "users can't see the point, until they get it" I admit I was in that boat when I started using Twitter, a public micro blogging platform. But just like they said "once I used it I got it". What they didn't say was that it took a while and it suits certain people better than others. So as with all things in the social media space, be aware that culture change not the technology may be your biggest challenge. So what does Yammer, a microblogging platform for organisational use , do for real employees that is compelling enough for them to spend the time to "Get it" ? First off Y...

Office 2007 files indexed by indexing server

The problem Server 2003 running IIS 6 and providing website / intranet search functionality using the default indexing server service. Office 2007 files weren't showing up in the results for intranet searches. Lots of information about getting this working on SharePoint MOSS SQL Exchange and other platforms but not a server with little installed on it. Even downloading and installing the "2007 Office System Converter: Microsoft Filter Pack" http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=60C92A37-719C-4077-B5C6-CAC34F4227CC&displaylang=en didn't get things working. The solution Well the filter pack was close but a registry change was required as well. Thanks to Microsoft Premier support staff for making this connection. Full story My server is using indexing server and wasn't showing results for Office 12 Office 2007 x extension files e.g. docx The server doesn't have SharePoint or SQL or MOSS or exchange or Office 2007 inst...
