This piece caught my eye, as he's trying to get companies to treat people better by letting employees communicate. Not a deep insight or anything, but maybe a cluetrain ripple.
Opportunities like this usually get overlooked. They are interdepartmental and therefore unmanaged. It's no one's job to look for them; nobody makes it easy to seize them; and the person who sees an opportunity probably doesn't share in the rewards it produces. A salesman hears customers ask for a new feature, but doesn't know whom to call in new-product development, doesn't bother to call because he gets paid only for what he sells this quarter, or refuses to call because the new-product people are snotty.
