How I Work: Bill Gates - Apr. 7, 2006

Intersting article on CNN on how Bill Gates works, including using SharePoint. In my efforts to move us out of the 20th Century and into the 21st Century using collaboration tools, it's enlightening that Bill works this way. More importantly, he allows (and expects) his organisation to work this way.

In my world, using SharePoint is "beneath" most executives, managers, and other leaders. That's what PA's and secretaries are for. Thus the organisation is not "allowed", empowered, or enabled to move into the 21st century. We end up with an organisation whose information needs are driven by databases in PowerPoint.
