I’ve recently run into problems with my yahoo account. I’ve owned this particular account since 1997 and have diligently paid yahoo $20 a year for the additional mail features (pop access, more storage, etc) and have always had a good luck with it…until recently.

I recently finished reading Mass Career Customization, the newly released book from Deloitte’s Cathleen Benko and Anne Weisberg (published by Harvard Business Press).

The RSS Feed should still work (I use feedburner to manage and they’ve already handled the transition)…if anyone has any trouble with the new blog please let [...]
I’m always amazed how to hard it is for some people/firms to understand that communication is a major reason for project success or failure.
For example, on one of the projects I’m working on now is a content management system implementation. My role is as overall program manager responsible for managing internal and external resources [...]
