Sooooo many cutsie phrases trying to show people just how busy one worker bee is over another... but there's no meat on the bone. "The hamster wheel of email" - does this describe your feelings about the device on your hip? Ha!
This nine minute video is worth your valuable time, especially if you don't work in the actual "mother ship" of your company (or "Death Star" as one senior leader called his headquarters recently). The Digital Revolution has rocked our world... but some people are too busy being busy rather than being efficient, losing their work/life balance and reacting to "over-exposure" in the process. However, by opening your eyes and taking control of technology, you can be happier again at work.
I use the RSA videos for my graduate students; they are excellent tools for adult learners as they both entertain AND get the point across the first time. The discussion raises a good point - that we should be working on creativity rather than sheer productivity. Competitive advantage will best be generated by employees being encouraged to think, to imagine, and to create a better future.
On an inside note to some of my connections linked through Milwaukee - I also laughed and must disclose that to my knowledge RSA has no affiliation and is not influenced by "the meatball".
