“Employee engagement” is a much buzzed about key phrase in the modern workplace. Gallup, Forbes, and the Harvard Business Review all have opinions about it. Engagement does not refer to happiness, nor does it refer to entitlement. It isn’t hippy dippy, hocus pocus, feel-good mumbo jumbo (though there’s nothing wrong with that). I enjoy this rather … Read More »
A dear friend and computer science professor recently passed along a fascinating take on “the Experience Age.” This came on the heels of a dinner where we discussed how the gen-X and older among us value the accumulation of information and data (see: Facebook… What happened one year ago? Here’s a photo to prove it!) whereas … Read More »
We have talked before about why SharePoint projects fail. In fact, that has been Rogue’s most read blog post to date, which tells us it struck a nerve. We know that SharePoint will fail if it is not used. When a file share hierarchy is copied directly into SharePoint, users will scoff, question why SharePoint … Read More »
Here at Rogue, intranets are our jam. We know that Everyone Needs an Intranet. Period. is a strong statement. With the exception of sole proprietors and very small partnerships, we stand by that. Why do we feel so strongly? Well— How much time do your employees sink into routine communications? I have been guilty, in previous … Read More »
“So academic clubs aren’t the same as other types of clubs,” says Claire Standish in one of my favorite vestiges of late adolescence, The Breakfast Club. Claire was trying hard to draw a line between Brian’s nerdy physics club and the clubs she and her cool clique participated in. We all know where Claire belonged in … Read More »
When “Mad Men” was on prime time, it was one of my favorite episodic experiences. Sure, the show provided eye candy in Joan and Don, but it also gave viewers an opportunity to experience the intentional psychology of advertising. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a lovely thought, but it is human nature … Read More »
I’ve played “Little Red Corvette” on a loop for the last few hours, so it is no wonder how I got the inspiration for this blog post (RIP, Purple One). “EOL,” or end of life, is (sadly) a reality for music icons as well as physical infrastructure, operating systems, apps, and browsers. In the last couple … Read More »
Ah, “the Cloud.” Or “the cloud.” [I am unsure whether it is a common or proper noun these days. “Internet” vs. “internet” went through the same interesting linguistic evolution, so I’m sure the uppercase/lowercase debate will sort itself out in time]. There is a lot of mystery around the Cloud. What is it? Why should … Read More »
Meet Rogue: Cody, Marissa, Michelle. We have a combined 20 years of SharePoint consulting experience and have touched hundreds of users through training, solution development, and project management. Why “Rogue”? We came together with a commitment to solve clients’ problems, challenge ourselves, and do business our own way. Rogue also refers to the empowerment of our … Read More »
Captain Scott Kelly, special guest/featured speaker at Microsoft’s Envision Conference this year, has spent more accumulated days in space—382—than any other person in history, ever. He spent 340 of those days on an International Space Station mission with Mikhail Korniyenko. He flew lots of different types of aircraft before his retirement. Wikipedia tells me that, … Read More »
