Top Ten Things We Learned at SXSW 2011

We thought the best way to illustrate the insights we gleaned was to share them via our tweets.

10.  There are lots of collaboration tools out there, however, in the Loose Organizations session, Google Docs was the one that stood out the most.

9. We agreed that talent trumps being geographically desirable.

8.  Companies have tools, processes, and workflows for their employees to use, but the key is working for what works best for you.

7.  Offering flexible work is not about providing a fringe benefit, it’s about increasing profitability.

6. Enough said.

5.  With as prices up, we probably don’t need another reason why telecommuting makes sense and saves cents.

4.  Who hasn’t found this to be true? 

3. Working virtually has business benefits, one of which is potentially increased productivity due to employee wellness.

2.  Simple, yet powerful, statement.  We should remind ourselves of this often.

1.  We need to take ownership of our situations…we can’t expect change if we don’t take responsibility for it ourselves.

Did you attend any of the Work & Happiness sessions at SXSW?  Would love to hear what you learned and continuing making connections until next year.

We were honored to meet so many people who work. smart. at SXSW including Mike Schneider and Jen Lee Reeves pictured below.
