Google in trouble: Root Level Domain or Root Cause Analysis?

    Google's headquarters, the  Googleplex   Picture Source: Wikipedia What is Root Level Domain and what is Root Cause Analysis? It is easy to define   Root Cause Analysis (RCA). For example, you can read an article on it in the English Wikipedia.  In the context of Risk Management, RCA is a Risk Identification and Risk Assessment technique. Root    Level Domain  is not well defined in the context of Google's Blog spot.  Therefore the answer to the question in this post's title is:  Root Cause Analysis. Google is in a risk. The next post in this blog will be titled: Vendors Survival: will Google Survive until 2030?   Google and The Devil  The proverb "the Devil is hidden in the details" is applicable to Google's advertisement in Blogger's blogs: A good  new   idea but poor design and very poor execution .

They are trying to impose these limitations by new laws. Most of these laws were not improved yet by the parli...

Blogging process: an iceberg example

I n a previous post I used the analogy of an iceberg to describe processes in an enterprise. In this post I will illustrate it by a simple example. The example is not about Enterprise processes. It describes a simpler single actor processes set: Writing a blog post such as this post. As far as this post is concerned the scope is limited to professional blogging. Analyzing personal blogs or generalizing the analysis to all blogs types is beyond the scope of this post. Blog Posting Process simplified It looks like a very simple process composed of two steps: Writing a blog post Publishing a blog post The writing step is composed of few activities: titling, writing, spell checking, adding hyperlinks and images etc. Publishing looks like a one click activity. Even in the simplistic description above, we missed one important activity: choosing a topic to write about. It is less formulated activity than the other activities, so it is easy to ignore it while an...
