GroupSwim, one of Intellicore Design Consulting’s partners, just released version 6 of their social software. This release offers a lot of features geared towards site owners and managers.

If you want a successful Salesforce.com implementation, you take one part leadership, and mix it with one part planning and one part communication. We talked earlier in the week about leadership so let’s segue into planning today.
Now, I grant you that planning may not sound like a very sexy activity but it’s highly important so let’s talk about that today. If you fail to build planning into the mix then you’re well on your way to failing. Why? Talk a page from Thomas Edison:
“Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.”
As with previous discussions, although I’ll focus discussion around Salesforce, these are tips that you can employ for any major strategic initiative.
