These last few months, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in medical facilities, mostly working preventive things (nothing scary here; not to worry). There’s been a big change in practice where I go and see my doctor: a whole lot of technology has been added to the workplace.

You must innovate. Your company must innovate. If you don’t innovate, you will be gobbled up in the competitive global marketplace.

When I was enjoying myself in sunny Costa Rica on vacation, the United States East Coast enjoyed one of those great consecutive snow blowouts that snarled traffic, cancelled school, and created general havoc for everyone.
Jet Blue got caught in the crosshair as well, stranding passengers on planes out on the runways for hours, canceling a […]

One of the myths out there in the business world is that high levels of research and development funding will produce innovative products. It turns out, this isn’t accurate.
My friend Liz, over at Successful Blog, picked up a great study done by Booz Allen Harrison (my “old skool” self wonders who Harrison is since in […]
So let’s be clear: this Pimp is cynical of anything Corporate. In fact, working in a cube means it is management’s approach to the work and when you get to the nice panel office it is all about sacrificing for the corporation.
