I’ve had a boatload of conversations with customers and prospects about their needs for a business intelligence solution. While every company’s needs are unique, there’s a common theme in each conversation: business users and IT professionals view BI differently. Both views are important, but they have very different expectations. This is one of the reasons I started Domo.

See the Future! Psychics vs. Accurate Business Forecasting and Trend Analysis. Do you have a psychic on your staff? I didn’t think so. Most of us would find it hard to justify that kind of resource to our management team. Still, the idea is intriguing. Wouldn’t it be great to identify trends and patterns and respond appropriately? You could be there before your competition, and probably get a promotion in the process.

Being a top salesperson isn’t cheap. I like that. If you’ve followed my startup rules, you might remember this one ( JJSR 8 ) — Find salespeople who love to spend money: watches, cars, houses. The more they spend, the better your prospects. But you have to set them up for success, too. That means making sure they’re spending most of their time actually selling and not filing reports or digging for data, which as you can see from the Domo infographic below, is a more common pr

I’m a big believer in Friday nights and weekends being sacred time for family and fun ( see #JJSR 35 ). Especially during the startup phase, work like a dog during the week, but make sure to carve out time for what matters most. Unfortunately, that model breaks down if too much of the work week is spent doing lame stuff…like looking for information or waiting for reports.

CEO.com is a website I launched before starting Domo. When I was CEO of Omniture, I was constantly looking for stories and inspiration that would help me be a better leader. I wanted to create a resource to help myself and other executives stay up-to-date with what’s happening at the leadership level across top industries and have the latest strategies and best practices in business management all in one place.
Competitive Intelligence Brief brings together the best content for intelligence professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

I’m a software developer. Being social on the internet has meant furthering my career. I’ve had technology blogs, used Twitter, and talked in forums and newsgroups. None of those interactions were on a personal level. It’s always been about technology or troubleshooting a coding problem I had been having. The #domosocial experiment was jolting and a bit frightening to me.

Today we posted some eye candy on how we’re progressing with the #domosocial experiment. We’ll update this several times each week with fresh data. You can see it here. In our first look, I’m happy to report that we’re gaining traction. One of our group goals was to double our collective followers and friends across Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn.

I like old school. Sometimes. Cars, clothes, shoes, art…they can all be cool with a throwback style. But business intelligence, and dashboards in particular, is a different story. Cobbling together a few disconnected charts, throwing in a couple of stoplights and waiting for it all to refresh once a day used to qualify as a dashboard. Now, things are different.

When Domo announced the #domosocial experiment, I was a little surprised. I thought to myself, “Doesn’t everyone already use Facebook and Twitter?” Why do we need to encourage more of that? Then I realized that perhaps this isn’t just about using more products — perhaps this is about something bigger. For thousands of years people have done their best to live in a world where things are done inefficiently.

When Josh started to roll out the details of the #domosocial experiment, I got the distinct feeling of trepidation. I’ve been fairly quiet in the social networking space, and this experiment would require consistent and active participation on my part. This could seriously jeopardize my goal of never appearing on the first page of a Google Search of my name, or perhaps posting something that I would not like the rest of the world to see.

I’m a performer at heart and don’t mind being the center of attention. So when Josh James announced the #domosocial experiment, I immediately started to think of how I was going to attract some attention in the social sphere. Having studied social media in college, I’m fully aware of the positive mojo it can bring to a company. However, I was trained from the perspective of a company — not as an individual.

For about a month in 1987, when I was in 5th grade, foursquare took over as the game of choice at Draper Elementary. While football was still king for the 30-minute lunch recess, foursquare dominated the shorter 15-minute morning and afternoon recess time slots. I often found myself in the square tangling with some of the best athletes the school had to offer.

To capture some baseline metrics and preliminary feedback on the #domosocial experiment, we asked employees to take an online survey. Suffice it to say, I’m glad to see that learning something new is by far the number one thing people said they are excited about. This supports the buzz we’ve been hearing in the hallways and seeing on Twitter. When it comes to what worries people, the time commitment and a fear of doing something stupid were reported as the two most common concerns.

Whether your organization is at the start of its sustainability and impact journey or years into it, many brands share a common concern: the uncertainty of whether they are sending stakeholders mixed messages. Creating content that speaks to your audience's “love language” can be a tricky dance. But, worry not! 3BL has put together tips to ensure that your content not only finds its rhythm but also resonates with your target audiences.

While some companies are blocking employee access to social media sites, mine has just made social media use a requirement. Awesome! The engineers and developers around me are taking the requirement very seriously. I get at least one quiet chuckle a day when I overhear a coworker ponder their posting strategy out loud. I have been there myself but got it sorted out.

Employee reactions to #domosocial have been interesting, inspiring and educational. We’ve been getting some straight, honest feedback. In addition to chatter in the office, and on Twitter, we asked employees to tell us during the launch meeting and in a survey what they think — positive, negative, and anything in between. And they’ve been giving it all to us.

I like to think I’m a pretty hip guy. Sure, I enjoy a little Journey with the windows down, and I do own a minivan (big family), but in general I like to stay on top of the latest tech and trends in business. One of those trends is the evolving way we manage and measure success in sales. It’s not unlike the movie Moneyball (which totally got robbed at the Oscars, by the way).

When our CEO first introduced this social experiment I thought to myself, “Pandora’s box has been opened and there is no turning back.” The past four years of tweets and status updates are back to haunt my professional future. In the beginning, I was slow to adopt social networking. My first exposure was working with a K12 school setting up a content filter to block students from accessing Friendster.

In the spirit of better understanding social media as an organization, Domo has invited their employees to join together in a great social experiment. Participation in #Domosocial requires that employees do two main things, explore the most popular social platforms and technologies and then develop and maintain a higher social presence. Some employees already have well-established online identities, while others are basically starting from scratch.

I tend to be a little slow to catch on. I’m still trying to catch up with fashion trends of 3 years ago. I now own skinny jeans and wedges and also a mac, an iPhone and an iPad so I generally feel pretty good about myself. However, I am a little resistant to change because I value comfort. Sometimes I begrudge new things and new trends because I don’t want to have to learn new things.

Are You Focused on the Rule or the Exception? Hint: Throw Away the Rule Book. In life, we usually focus on the rule, rather than the exception to the rule. ‘The rule’ is what will usually happen, and if we plan for that, we should be OK. In business, it is the exception that will cause us to lose revenue, competitive advantage and market share. Not to sound too melodramatic but if you had a way to identify the exception before or as it was happening and handle the situation before it becomes cri

Our family is quite musical. We all sing. My wife and I met in choir. Our oldest daughter begins her piano performance major in the fall. Our second oldest daughter is a crazy good flutist (proud papa reference: check out her beatboxing flute ). My oldest son recently started percussion lessons. So, it should come as no surprise that when my daughter determined her science fair project, she chose a topic relating to music.

Security nerd blog post number one. Lurking near the back of our #domosocial media experiment meeting and listening to Josh share insight into the crazy online future, I got thinking about security.

Like (I imagine) most employees here with a more-or-less established social media presence, to describe my initial reaction to yesterday’s presentation as “reserved” would be generous. If I’m honest, the internal monologue went something like this: “Um. No. My social networks are my space. And I use them the way I want to. They’re not a part of me you’re entitled to benefit from as an employer.

As CMO, one of my key goals is to create a premier online marketing organization with an enviable social media presence. I recently joined Domo from SAP. In the last few years at SAP, social was at the top of the marketing agenda. Social tools were increasingly one of the most effective ways to communicate with customers and prospects. So, I was delighted when Josh shared with me his plans for the #domosocial experiment.

When I was at Omniture, we were better than big tech companies when it came to understanding social and the cutting-edge technology trends — definitely better than every Utah tech company, but not as savvy as the VC-backed startups in Silicon Valley. At Domo, we’ve made an effort to attract the right folks and certainly have pockets of bleeding-edge technologists and highly social Domosapiens.

Prior to Domo, I ran the New York office of The OutCast Agency. For someone in technology, it was an envious position. I had a front row seat to some of the hottest technologies coming to market and the newly-funded companies behind them like Facebook, Lytro and Zynga. I also worked with a killer group of people who were big social experimenters and always trying out the newest, coolest technologies.

One of my biggest frustrations as CEO of a public company — and one of the principle reasons I started Domo — was how hard it was (ok, impossible) to get all the data I needed when I needed it. In fact, it was usually easier to know what was going on outside the company than it was to really know what was happening on the inside. We were the best in the business at web analytics and I could check my stock price whenever I wanted, but ask me how many employees we had or what our cash balance was
