Business collaboration or “thought bubble babble”

Things look different today in small business. The connections that are made with others seem more meaningful. You can look at someone and somehow, more quickly see that your companies or concepts could mesh together to do great things. The traditional boundaries of business categories are becoming blurred.

We give a lot of credit to various online social and business networks for this. The ability to see others’ potential and to understand their visions…well it is more visible and more exposed now than ever before. Asking questions on LinkedIn which result in passionate debate and ultimately connections with others through that debate – it is powerful and almost instant. Well frankly, this kind of spontaneous “thought bubble babble” wasn’t even conceivable just a few years back. Now, you have a chance as a business owner to “drop your ego at the door” and (at no charge) actually collect research on the fly, volley for definitions or tap into a new business lead.

Now, the set up is not perfect. And just like any conversation, you have to consider the source. But how great it is to have that chance to collaborate with a chap in Mumbai or seasoned brand manager Down-Under. Perspectives from around the world are now possible real time, where once it would take weeks to collect this type of info. Real discussion from various perspectives. No longer limited to region, you are now at the helm of your own worldwide switchboard.

That, my friends, is some great stuff.
