Welcome back. You belong here.
I still have a long way to go in verbalizing my ideas to others, often I lead by example and do things in hopes others will follow. Sometimes that works, sometimes not.
Example - How do you get your team to use Google Docs when they're used to paper copies, email attachments, etc. I first stated using Google Docs myself a few years ago but I've never been effective at getting others to also use them. So I started inviting others to collaborate on a document, (not very successful). Now, I run meetings off my laptop and instead of a handout, I use Google Docs.
This has brought everyone on the team to the same place, using the same technology at the same time in real time. It's efficient, saves trees and therefore the environment, it's collaborative, efficient, dynamic, changes are seen immediately, anyone can edit the docs and most of all new media skills and knowledge (Web 2.0) is transfered to others in a peaceful manner.
No one was even hurt.
Have a great day.
Into the future,
