Many of you probably have already bought a Kindle, Amazon's original wireless reading device, or at least heard about it. I personally love the idea of this device. You don’t have to buy and carry along tons of books you want to read. It’s all there inside of a single gadget, and it is available anytime, anywhere. I’ve already ordered Kindle DX, and I’m in great anticipation of it.
Recently, Amazon came up with Kindle Blogs, so now you can subscribe to your favorite blogs for a small fee. I’m excited to announce that the Project Management 2.0 blog is now available though the Kindle Store. So if you already own a Kindle, my thoughts on the latest trends in Enterprise 2.0 and their influence on project management may be auto-delivered wirelessly to your device.
Do you have a Kindle? Do you find Kindle Blogs convenient? Please let me know in the comments.

 Several months ago I created a Facebook group devoted to the new approach to project management, Project Management 2.0. I’m a strong believer in collective intelligence and the power of social media in promoting it. I launched the group hoping that it would be a great place for people who are enthusiastic about the new trend to share their ideas and contribute to the ongoing conversation about how Enterprise 2.0 technologies influence traditional project management practices. So it is. I’m happy to announce that the Project Management 2.0 Facebook group now has 100 members and is growing every day!
If you are passionate about making your project management practices more efficient with Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 tools and principles, I welcome you to join the Project Management 2.0 group to share your experience and throw in your thoughts.

In my last post, I raised the question of how a new type of leader that emerges with the development of collective intelligence looks like and what his/her role is. We concluded that Project 2.0 leader’s role is to motivate his/her team and make the team members more productive, in order to complete the project on time and on budget. He or she needs to be able to guide the collective intelligence of his or her team and leverage it to the benefit of the whole company. Now I hope to enrich my initial idea with thoughts taken from a well-known Level 5 Leadership concept, introduced by Jim Collins in his “ Good to Great” book.

I thought of writing a couple of posts, reflecting on my perception of leadership in the age of collective intelligence. So here’s the first one.

 Today, no company can be immune to the current economic situation. So it is the time for many businesses to analyze their business model and risk profile.
Economics experts join their voices stating that the best thing you can do to withstand the crisis is to improve your customer service and be attentive to customer needs. Terry Leahy, the head of TESCO, a British-based international grocery and general merchandising retail chain, noted in one of his recent interviews that staying close to customers is the key to surviving the current, difficult economic conditions. “We learned some lessons, and the message is simple – stay with your customers. Listen to your customers.”
For project managers, it’s important that you treat your customers as stakeholders. John Mackey (CEO of Whole Foods) and Kip Tindell (CEO of The Container Store), who drove their companies with a constant growth over good and bad times, explain their take on stakeholders in this very interesting interview.
