In preparing an outline for a talk to a group of PR professionals, I’m still thinking about what is really going on out there in corporate America. I caught some of my thoughts in my “aggressive indecision” article a few weeks back — but this morning, woke up with the phrase “innovation stagnation” in my head. I still think there are too many organizations who are complacent, spinning their wheels, not only unable to make decisions, but not even of a mindset that it is important to continue to try to move forward …..

My latest article — “It’s the new reality in business: aggressive indecision. Corporations have lost their sense of direction. In the nineties, people had a sense of purpose, a desire to get things done. “Nobody knows where we’re going, but we’re making great time” could have been the catch phrase. Well, now no one knows where they are going, and they sure are taking their time getting there.”

What evil lurks in e-mail?
My June CAMagazine article is online. “One problem is the very nature of e-mail: it is so easy to use and so informal that employees will often commit something to an e-mail that they would never put on paper. E-mail messages can be quickly forwarded to dozens of people, including individuals outside the company, and can be saved for future use. Any one of those copies could be a case breaker in a legal action, or at the very least a significant public relations problem if leaked to the outside world. That’s why, if you haven’t already done so, you should develop and implement a clear and concise policy pertaining to corporate e-mail.” [ article ]
