Thank you so much for your blog. In terms of delivering value to readers you definately rank up there . You are able to convey concepts in a very concise and effective format and rapidly follow it up with a concrete example and practical steps. The kinds posts I like the most are the Strategy Canvas II posts and the CIO interview posts. <br/><br/><br/>I've been reading on entrepreneurship for a while now. You're explanation and templates have really opened up an area of thinking for me that I had not considered before and find very engaging. Finding it in concise blog posts rather than drawn out papers is probably the biggest contributing factor to the ideas presented so engaging. <br/><br/> * Which parts of my blog do you most enjoy or hate?<br/> Anything specific to follow up on concepts is a good thing. Even if its broken up into smaller posts. <br/><br/>* Are the templates I make available useful?<br/>PURE GOLD<br/><br/> * Do you like the webcasts?<br/>The webcasts are very informative. Longer webcasts of workshops or exlanations of concepts and concept comparisons can only be better.<br/><br/> * Do you enjoy the less conceptual postings - e.g. news style?<br/><br/>No not really. The case studies are interesting. I appreciate posting the papers for the case studies. I have worked through the one you posted earlier. A posting of the results you, or your students obtained would be nice to compare with.<br/><br/> * What would you want to see more on my blog?<br/> * Can you apply the things I write about in your daily work?<br/><br/>As a mechanical engineer, not really. But I do read your blog at work alot :) Its much more fascinating than what I do. <br/><br/> * Did you ever use the search function on my blog? <br/>I tried. Don't believe it works. A tag system to navigate with would me much more effective. Especially a category regarding the basic concepts. All of this is gold to me.<br/><br/><br/> * Anything else on your mind (related to this blog ;-)<br/><br/>Thank you for your efforts. This truly is a worthwhile contribution in an open and honest transfer of knowledge. I really am surprised at how much I enjoy your blog compared to many of the others I read. Hi.

I’ve been reading on entrepreneurship for a while now. You’re explanation and templates have really opened up an area of thinking for me that I had not considered before and find very engaging. Finding it in concise blog posts rather than drawn out papers is probably the biggest contributing factor to the ideas presented so engaging.

* Which parts of my blog do you most enjoy or hate?
Anything specific to follow up on concepts is a good thing. Even if its broken up into smaller posts.

* Are the templates I make available useful?
PURE GOLD

* Do you like the webcasts?
The webcasts are very informative. Longer webcasts of workshops or exlanations of concepts and concept comparisons can only be better.

* Do you enjoy the less conceptual postings – e.g. news style?

No not really. The case studies are interesting. I appreciate posting the papers for the case studies. I have worked through the one you posted earlier. A posting of the results you, or your students obtained would be nice to compare with.

* What would you want to see more on my blog?
* Can you apply the things I write about in your daily work?

As a mechanical engineer, not really. But I do read your blog at work alot :) Its much more fascinating than what I do.

* Did you ever use the search function on my blog?
I tried. Don’t believe it works. A tag system to navigate with would me much more effective. Especially a category regarding the basic concepts. All of this is gold to me.

* Anything else on your mind (related to this blog ;-)

Thank you for your efforts. This truly is a worthwhile contribution in an open and honest transfer of knowledge. I really am surprised at how much I enjoy your blog compared to many of the others I read.

We need more interactivity. More case studies. More examples. More collaboration with other people like Clayton Christensen etc.

I just started as a consultant. Together with a partner we are planning to conduct a survey in the dutch publishing industry regarding business models, since the traditional business models are under a lot of pressure. Reason (amongst numerous others) for this pressure is the emergence of free and user generated content.
