Book Review: Emotional Intelligence 2.0

I really do believe that we can all benefit from working on our Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is a better predictor of success than IQ. In fact, there is some evidence that above a certain level, higher IQ counter indicates professional success. I’m sure that we all know some intelligent people who can’t relate well to people.

I like the way that this book describes EQ in terms of self-awareness, self-management (self-regulation), social awareness and relationship management.

This book will help you understand where your emotional intelligence is and what you can do to develop it. Some really great insights.

The objective was to digitize the old paper based requisitioning system and drive compliance through an interface that the infrequent user could easily navigate. The interface was intended to require little training and to have a reduced set of functionalities to support very basic purchasing. Quickly after this, we saw the emergence of true e-procurement solut

Why did SAP buy Qualtrics?

SAP has paid $8B for Qualtrics. That's a massive investment and one of the highest value acquisitions for a cloud software provider. What is Qualtrics? Qualtrics is the market leader in  "experience management" (EM), which is basically feedback, think of customer feedback, end user feedback, product feedback, etc. Experience (feedback) has become so central to our lives today, just think about Google reviews, Amazon reviews, Yelp reviews and just think of the reviews and surveys you get exposed to in every day life. I get sent surveys every time I fly, rent a car or even when I call my ISP customer support.  Although I'm no expert on the EX market, my experience as a consumer tells me that companies are spending a great deal of money and effort to gather this data. That said, I'm not convinced that they are always taking full advantage of the EX data they are gathering.  From qualtrics.com: Over 10,000 enterprises worldwide, including more than 75 pe
