I'd like to do this every quarter, or at least once a term ... just to get a grip on industry best practice in a fast changing world, to get a feel for what works so as to avoid what in practice does not.

Matthew Syed: Rebel Ideas


David Price: The Power of Us

No one has had success with Twitter, but Facebook and LinkedIn are worth another look.
