		<title>Employee Engagement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Here are some comments I recently provided on a LinkedIn Group discussion about Employee Engagement vs. Employee Empowerment)
I&#8217;m a big believer in employee engagement and have discussed related topics in a few blog posts (see www.granadaadvisors.com/blog). A few thoughts:

		<title>The WHO, WHY, and HOW of Organizational DNA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Too many businesses suffer from lack of consensus regarding who they are as an organization, why they do what they do, and how they create value &#8212; their Organizational DNA. At Granada Advisors, we have created a model and process for creating stakeholder alignment around these very important questions. Indeed, identifying a company&#8217;s Organizational DNA [...]]]></description>

		<title>Value proposition and how great leaders inspire action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently been involved in discussions regarding the value creation process that we like to pursue with our management consulting clients as they seek to clarify their strategic path forward as organizations.

		<title>Design Thinking, Meta-Frameworks, and the Modern Strategist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I&#8217;m fascinated by this concept of DESIGN THINKING and how it can apply to STRATEGY GENERATION. In particular, I think a really good strategist cannot be satisfied with just following the old models, however useful (e.g. Porters Five Forces). A strategist cannot be an automaton, who simply gathers data and plugs it into a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
So I recently ended up weighing in on a LinkedIn Group on a topic having to do with social media appliances in the workplace. For what it&#8217;s worth (and realizing we aren&#8217;t showing you the full string of messages that preceded my post), here is a response I sent to a woman at a large biotechnology [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dan Pink, Right Brainers, and Motivating the Cognitive Elite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
OK, so I rant and rave about this video: Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation. Admittedly, I am a fan of all things TED.com, but I think Dan Pink particularly has touched on a topic that everyone in our organization feels strongly about. We are increasingly moving towards a world that is defined by [...]]]></description>

This week I attended the Pushbutton Summit, a digital media conference in Salt Lake City. One of the presenters, Andrew Braccia from Accel Partners, gave a great overview of the evolution of the world of digital media. Essentially, we have seen the digital media world evolve along a few lines: 1. Portal (AOL, Yahoo)  2. [...]]]></description>
