Google’s new operating system, code named Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) promises to do many things in the realm of application development. Developers are rejoicing at the ability to develop one application that will work on both tablets and smart phones. Users can’t wait for the boost in phone performance and sleek new interface features.

1,000,000+ Page Views on The MIX!
Jul 8 2011
Really happy to announce today that The MIX (Management Information Exchange) has surpassed One Million page views! This is huge in many ways, mostly because The MIX is a great case study that goes against the grain in how people typically consume and create content on the web today…and it’s working. It’s a website that addresses and challenges the current management dogmas of today. It’s about encouraging the universe to hack the management methods currently used to build better management practices and then share those practices...
Introducing Nuts About Southwest 3.0
Jan 26 2011
Five years ago we launched the first version of Nuts About Southwest. It was simple and straight forward. A blog where Southwest Airlines could share their stories and culture. A way to more deeply connect the Southwest Airlines brand with Customers by exposing how Southwest Airlines ticks.

Gary Hamel On RD2

I’ve met some smart people in my life and this guy is one of the tops. Gary is just an unbelievable speaker. I wish everyone in business had the opportunity to see him speak, let alone work directly with him.
We were able to have lunch with Gary Hamel and Andy Lark and catch up on a few things prior to Gary’s speaking engagement...
Andy Lark on RD2 Partnership & Dell ITEN Android Application
Oct 5 2010
As part of the effort in developing the recently launched Android Application for Dell, we had a series of iterative reviews with the Dell team. Chris Collins made RD2 his home away from home. Also, Andy Lark visited us in Dallas for a final review and application test drive. We had some informal discussion on how the project was running and captured a few of his thoughts on what he felt was critical about partnerships like ours.
It’s obvious that we are super pleased with how the RD2 team was able to pull this off in three weeks from start to finish. It should also be mentioned though that the Dell team was simply amazing at helping us define these requirements and work hand in hand as part of the team...

Several years ago, we did some high-level research to find out the optimal day of the week and time of day to post content. When are users most actively online reading blogs, browsing websites, exploring social media networks, etc.? To get a fresh and more current idea on these stats, we browsed through some more recent studies.
