Interesting algorithmic data point: My blog post traffic on Linkedin (which point back to my blog, automatically posted every morning) is down 90% from a few years ago. But when I write a short post directly here, we're back to large numbers.

You can see how easy it is to get sucked into doing what the algorithm wants, instead of what works best for my work. Building and maintaining content on a platform we don't own is a risky trap.

Don't check into a motel where it's hard to check out.

[Update! Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this. Tomorrow I'm going to test a new format for my blog, using a Zap to bring it in without a link.]

GRATITUDE AND EMPATHY

Empathy is difficult. I’m not you, I can’t imagine the path you’ve traveled, the stories you tell yourself and the pressures you’re under.

But real gratitude requires empathy. Everyone is under the circumstances. Everyone does the best they think they can with the options they think they have.

All of us know what something is worth to us, but we often don’t think much about how much it cost.

Once we understand this, it’s easier to embrace the kindness and opportunities that people offer us.

PS here’s my favorite Thanksgiving Day post. It’s every day if we let it. Sending good vibes and hugs to you and your family.

MEDIOCRE MEANS AVERAGE

Two different ways to consider this:

First, in the marketplace, where most people, most of the time, want the thing that most people want. The average one. Exceptional is the exception.

Second, in the committee meeting, where the easiest way forward is to sand off interesting edges, eliminate unknowns and challenge as little as possible.

When you put these together, you see the relentless slide toward banality.

For people who care enough to develop skill and bring bravery to the work, this is a huge opportunity. Not an easy or an obvious one, but perhaps one worth chasing.

Quest Technology Group

If you're a business leader who dreads dealing with technology folks, you're not alone. IT people speak their own baffling language. They love technology. Business not so much.

But this is what today's tech savvy business leaders know -- success is built on a well-planned, scalable technology foundation. That means being comfortable with technology conversations, being able to ask the challenging questions that IT folks don't want you to ask. 

We've been sitting beside business leaders for 32 years, helping them put the right technology to work for their companies. We like technology, but we love business even more. Together we uncomplicate, make practical technology buying decisions, and build the right teams of business technology thinkers.

What Do Your Clients Really Want from Your Company?

(Hint...it's more than just the products and services you deliver every day.)

Are these everyday challenges leaving no time to learn what your customers want?

.  too little time
 . too many choices
 . too much information
 . not enough cash or customers
.  not as productive as you could be
.  fear of being left behind
 . continuous need to learn and stay competitive
 . putting out fires
 . not enough time to focus on the big vision
 . "I know what I need to do. I just don't know how."
 . lack of quiet thinking time

"There has to be a better way", you say.

The Better Way Starts with Understanding Your Customers.

You've invested in technology, people, and smart business practices. We work right beside you to put these together in new, unexpected ways.

Strategy - Why does your company do what it does every day?

Technology - What are the tools, assets, and frameworks that help you deliver more of what your customers really want and need from you?

Marketing - Who do you create your most valued work for?

Productivity - How can you deliver more of what's important to your company, clients, employees, and business partners?

Services Tailored to Your Company

We know that every company has its own unique needs, goals, and approach to success. We're not here to change who and what you are. We're simply your partner in delivering your best products and services every day. You decide how you want us to contribute.

. growth strategy planning and implementation
. make the most of your existing IT investments
. create a secure, reliable technology infrastructure that grows with your company
. hands-on day-to-day IT services
. practical cybersecurity solutions for your organization
. discover new opportunities and bring them to life
. turn your expertise and knowledge into useful content your clients and prospects appreciate
. create, manage company knowledge hub as the go-to resource for clients
. develop simple tools that streamline your day-to-day activities
. access and use the valuable data your company has collected over the years
. listen and implement the solutions your customers want and need the most from you

Yes, technology is part of our name, but we think of technology as a tool. What we really love is business, and the amazing opportunities right in front of each of us. They simply need to be discovered and shared.
