Re-Think Strategic Consulting: November 2007
http://rethinkconsulting.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2007. Don't be fooled by that research. If you have a conclusion, chances are you can find some research to support that conclusion. Or, if not, it should be fairly straightforward to design a research project that will tell you want you to hear. I am being slightly facetious and know that most people do not do this on purpose, however, it is easy to be fooled by unintentional research bias. Yes, research is important. Just be cautious and don't take it at face value.

Re-Think Strategic Consulting: September 2009
http://rethinkconsulting.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 19, 2009. Can the government do social media? I've had the opportunity recently to both participate in and follow a number of government departments that are dabbling in social media. The question that invariably comes from those who have been in government for a while is:. So who approves your tweets? Or some other similar question. But does that work in the social media world? But still people ask: who approves that? I think that in the vast majority of cases, social media should be...

Re-Think Strategic Consulting: How did you improve your Web site this week?
http://rethinkconsulting.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-did-you-improve-your-web-site-this.html
Sunday, May 4, 2008. How did you improve your Web site this week? Many people think that designing a Web site is a point in time activity. Sure, content may be added over time, but it gets added to the same Web site structure, same design, same labels. But if your organizational priorities have changed, if your clients needs are shifting, or if your content has grown or changed, then your Web site needs to change to reflect that too. What are clients looking for and not finding on your Web site?

Re-Think Strategic Consulting: Why is the Minister's picture on the home page?
http://rethinkconsulting.blogspot.com/2008/03/why-is-ministers-picture-on-home-page.html
Sunday, March 9, 2008. Why is the Minister's picture on the home page? But now, under the Conservative government, pictures of Ministers are all the rage again. But why? Is it because the Conservative government isn't Web savvy and is making a big faux pas? Perhaps, but maybe not. Usability expert Gerry McGovern conducted a study in 2007. Back to our current conservative government and their love of having the Minister's picture on the home page. Why are they doing it? We don't want to view advertisement...

Re-Think Strategic Consulting: The intersection between organizational goals and client needs
http://rethinkconsulting.blogspot.com/2008/03/intersection-between-organizational.html
Wednesday, March 5, 2008. The intersection between organizational goals and client needs. Luckily, there seems to be increasing recognition of the need to be client-centric. So how can organizations become more client centric while not losing sight of their mandate and objectives? First, recognize that your mandate should drive what you do, but your client drives how you deliver it. Second, understand that you cannot be all things to all people - focus on the 80/20 rule by delivering the 20% of conte...

Re-Think Strategic Consulting: Surprise! Gov 2.0 is about the people
http://rethinkconsulting.blogspot.com/2010/02/surprise-gov-20-is-about-people.html
Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Gov 20 is about the people. Here is what we learned at Gov 2.0 LA. It's about the people. Yes Social media is about the people. That's the easy part. The difference now, with social media, is that the government is starting to open some doors that may provide people with the opportunity to engage the bureaucracy directly and to comment on their own home turf. I say *may* and I say it cautiously because what I've seen from government so far via social media is mostly one way...
