Meetings are an essential part of work. Meetings serve as forums for communicating and making decisions. However, many meetings are ineffective. They do not yield results that help organizations accomplish their goals and objectives. Meetings can sometimes be events that create confusion and even frustration. When you conduct effective meetings, you increase your effectiveness and productivity as well as the effectiveness and productivity of individuals who attend your meetings.

Meetings are like broccoli. We may not particularly care for the taste of broccoli, but we need to eat it because it provides essential nutrients. We cover broccoli with cheese or butter to make it delicious. Meeting can be distasteful if they are not effective. This is the 3rd of 3 articles that provide suggestions that will help you plan effective meetings, the cheese and butter.

Cloud security’s seven deadly sins

A security expert warns organizations making a foray into cloud computing may know familiar terms like multi-tenancy and virtualization, but that doesn’t mean they understand everything about putting applications in the cloud.

In the world of cloud computing, those technologies are thrown together to create a new class of applications with their own unique set of governance rules, said Jim Reavis, executive director with the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).

The iPad Has Landed: Should You Roll Out Your Web Site's Welcome Mat?
ipad

Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) recently cited a handful of iPad-friendly Web sites -- a small list that includes CNN, Reuters, the New York Times, Vimeo and the White House.

With the iPad buzz having reached dizzying heights, it is safe to assume that most everyone who has a Web site is at least thinking about how to render it iPad-friendly as well.

It may be surprising to some that it can be done in one afternoon, depending on the complexity of the site.
