At the intersection of business, communication and technology. And shiny new objects.
For the past few months, a growing discussion has been going on in the LinkedIn group of IABC, the International Association of Business Communicators.

What’s the deciding factor in choosing which branded product to buy (or whether to buy one at all) at the point of sale? It’s a question I pondered in relation to an experience I had this weekend, and whether it’s a universal behaviour. All this week, I’ve been suffering from acute lower back pain which [...]
