Blogging, Sharing, Creativity, and Collaboration
At the beginning of the month, I posted here about the importance of sharing information on your business blog. The post dealt mainly with the fear that some businesses have about sharing information, and how shared information builds up goodwill.
As I was browsing through some websites yesterday, I ran across a post by Dawud Miracle that also dealt with the topic of sharing. Dawud’s post, You Are What You Share, caught my attention because it deals with another benefit of shared information: innovation.
Dawud’s post points out that Web 2.0, social media, and blogging have made collaboration possible on a scale that never existed before. Physical distance is no longer a constraint upon creativity. A blogger in Canada can collaborate with a blogger in Australia, and both of them can be helped by a blogger in Africa.
What’s the result of this new wave of collaboration and cooperation? Innovations are being developed more quickly and more creatively than at any other time in mankind’s history.
What does this mean to your business? It’s simple. Participate, or be left out.
If you haven’t seen Dawud’s post, then I highly recommend that you take a look. He links to a great little YouTube video that makes this whole concept crystal clear.
What about your business? Do you share, or are you being left out?
