Inventables - What a Great Concept!
by gscott [permalink]
Here is one of our most interesting Jiibing companies. One of their Jiibe summaries is, “Like back in the wild west, this company is focused on the frontier of new discoveries…” That can’t be any more appropriate for this company - Click here to see their CEO Zack Kaplan talk about the concept. I am sure it is an extremely creative place to work.
Check out their Jiibe:

Happy at Work from Pecha Kucha
by gscott [permalink]
It is so true that happy people, and in turn companies, at work will outperform those competitors where the people are less happy. Seems obvious, but a challenge to achieve. This is a presentation by Alexander Kjerulf from positivesharing.com
This is interesting too, does social software make you happy?October 18th, 2007
Do you Jiibe? We have launched our beta!
by gscott [permalink]
We have launched our beta only a few days ago and we have been getting some great buzz. Check it out at www.jiibe.com. Here is a great write up from our new friend Alexander - the Chief Happiness Officer:
Do you jiibe? You should!
What’s the corporate culture like in your current workplace? What’s the ideal corporate culture for you? How much of an overlap is there between the current and your ideal? In what other companies could you find more of a match and be happier at work?
That’s what a great new website, jiibe.com can help you find out.
I’ve been fooling around with it and I love it! It’s really simple - the website asks you a series of questions, and you tell it how things are at your current company and how you’d ideally like them to be.
At the end you get a description of your ideal corporate culture and a list of the companies that match it best - based not on how those companies define themselves but on how other jiibe users rated their workplaces… go to http://positivesharing.com/2007/10/do-you-jiibe-you-should to see the whole article.

12 New Job Titles! What One Do You Want?
by gscott [permalink]
I asked the question on LinkedIn, “Curious: what is the most unusual job title at your company?” I have noticed a resurgence of the title of “Evangelist.” Is this a symptom of the demand for talent or more creativity in the workplace? I received twelve fantastic answers! Let me know the one that you think is the best or add some new ones. If you want to see the first twelve click here, “Chief Yahoo!” - 12 Great Job Titles - I want more!”
|
Chief Swashbuckler and Idea Merchant; Art Director and Miracle Worker |
There’s a media company called Out of this World in |
|
|
Minister of Enlightenment |
My company (Aquent) has a “Minister of Enlightenment.” I’m not sure what his primary job is, but he works at least part of the time on employee communication initiatives. |
|
|
Chief Happiness Officer |
The Vancouver Board of Trade has a Chief Happiness Officer. You can’t beat that. It’s funny on the surface - but what’s really more important than that? |
|
|
Ninja |
It is not within my company, but I recently received a job opening for a Ninja. It is the official title in that company for a webdesigner. |
|
|
Chief Wiki |
Not my company; but a guy who is somewhat of a factotum! |
|
|
Manager of Fats |
I used to work for a food distribution organization and that one always brought a laugh. Manager of Pork is almost as good. |
|
|
Evangelist; Business Life Improvement Coach; Brand Evangelist |
I used to staff Evangelists in my last company for business transformation and process improvement jobs. I notice this title emerging quite a bit. How about a business life improvement coach? I staffed one of those once as well as a Brand Evangelist. It is quite funny how companies are coming up with these titles. |

|
Head Geek; Minister of Propaganda |
I styled myself Head Geek at a previous employer; my wife has served as Minister of Propaganda (event promotion and liaison to the outside world). |

Electronic Arts Cube

My Cube (Mouse Over for Details)
Originally uploaded by zenrender
Even Electronic Arts has cubicles! They are one of the most progressive companies when it comes to technology and recruiting, however this is what office designers always resort to. Over the next few days I will be looking for office designs that are more innovative. I am sure his PC is maxed out!
