It’s been a long time since I last wrote a word in this blog. And I’ve got a reason.
Since June last year I have been working at a bank in Bulgaria, trying to harness the power of marketing in new media. But at some point my tasks have grown beyond that. I am no longer only posting things on Facebook, replying to mentions on Twitter and writing articles for the corporate blog. Since I am really that close to clients and their opinion, I have been able to identify problems and to look for a solution to them. What is even better however is that no one wants to stop me. And this is the other great thing – to work in such a team, with open-minded managers and helpful colleagues and friends.
The thing is we live in a knowledge world and most of our tasks aren’t from the connect-the-dots type. In some cases you either know some basic information, that goes as far as telling you what you’ve got at your disposal. In other cases you should figure it out all by yourself.
I like it being that way. I am sure I can do those connect-the-dots tasks really well, actually at least as good as all other people out there. But I desperately crave for something different every time. Right know I am reading Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers, and Changemakers. It is indeed a great book on working processes and how to manage and make the most of your passion, knowledge and ideas. It’s definitely worth the read.
