ChangeThis offers a special issue for the new year that will inspire you to take a look at an essential part of your life, your work. But there is another reason we bring you this early manifesto. Last month, the online community suffered a terrible loss with the death of Marc Orchant. The outpouring of emotion and warm memories shared online captured the effect Marc had on everyone he connected with. Both Marc’s message and his unfortunate passing remind us to make the most of each day, a message of import as we begin 2008.
This essay by Marc appeared in The More Space Project, edited by ChangeThis' Todd Sattersten. Here is Marc's description of his essay. Meetings, presentations, and e-mail are a part of many people’s work day. Used effectively, each can help keep teams aligned, impart important information, and move projects forward. We now are bombarded with information from the web, blogs, wikis, intranets, search engines, and other digital sources in addition to paper. We’re challenged to develop and maintain a system for collecting, processing, and acting on all of this information. And the classic techniques we’ve relied on in the past have either ceased to be effective or have simply broken. In this essay, I’ll share some proven techniques for fixing what’s been broken.
