Don’t Leverage Social Media for Customer Service, if this is what you do!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in BPM, Business, Leadership, Technology, Trends on November 6, 2012
It has become a “fashion” among Service Providers to use Social Media for Customer Service, or rather becoming an imperative. There’s no problem with the intent of leveraging “technology”, however, there are so many ways in which this goes horribly wrong. Couple of weeks back, I had a “temporary” issue in accessing certain websites through […]

Dear LinkedIn, Rethink the Endorsements. You’re not Facebook or Twitter!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Innovation, Leadership, Marketing, Technology on October 4, 2012
LinkedIn is a professional network. LinkedIn should want to improve credibility of the professional credentials & demographics that are recorded on LinkedIn, for the growth of their money-making businesses of “Jobs”, “networking”, and even “Ads”. Alas, Endorsements are targeted to something else altogether. Traffic & social plug, it seems. For the sanctity of professional credentials of millions of professionals who made you the leading professional network, LinkedIn needs to rethink the implementation of endorsements. This is net-net negative value right now!

Think again. Social Media is not a Job, it’s a Skill!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Marketing, Technology on September 18, 2012
If I started off with saying Social Media is important for Businesses, I’d sound time-shifted backward by at least 2 years. Everyone knows that already. In the last year or so, I’ve not heard a single serious business that’s not trying to “do” some social media. They typically start with a Twitter Account, an FB […]
Google gets workflow wings with KiSSFLOW. Can they democratize BPM?
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in BPM, Business, Cloud Computing, Platform-as-a-Service, Technology, Trends on September 11, 2012
An April Fool’s joke from last year, my post on Google entering BPM with Noodle, continues to get views every day. I always wonder how many readers may be taking it seriously, it was a joke after all. Some of what I wrote was, and still is, plausible. Meanwhile, though, Google and their partners continue […]
Traffic isn’t everything!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Design, Marketing, Technology on August 14, 2012
Website Traffic is a popular benchmark. A simple Google search on “Website Traffic” returned me 1,010,000,000 results just now. Yes, A Billion. But, traffic isn’t everything. As per Alexa, Facebook tops globally in terms of traffic. Google & YouTube follow. Then there’s Yahoo, Wikipedia, Twitter, and Amazon in the top 10. However, traffic means different […]
The “Left Brain v/s Right Brain” Fallacy & The New World Order
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Innovation, Leadership, Management, Marketing, Technology, Trends on July 16, 2012
Our Left Brain tells us – based on reasoning – that, Left Brain deals with the Science & reasoning while the Right Brain deals with Art & Creativity. Therein lies the fallacy of the “Left Brain – Right Brain” dichotomy that has developed over time and frozen into over minds. For a long time, I […]

The new role of IT – from Cost Center to Business Platform Provider
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Architecture, BPM, Business, Cloud Computing, Innovation, Management, Platform-as-a-Service, Technology on April 7, 2011
IT can, driven by APaaS, become a Business Platform Provider and facilitate Business Value, and move beyond being Cost Center. While IT may, for some time to come, control the buying and maintenance of such platforms, the key to their success lies in understanding that they need to focus on the role of platform Engineering and Governance, and facilitate the business value driven applications development.
