Our technological museum project is going well, more members, more cities and great partners. A dilemma for small enterprise is to find the balance, between researches, permission and communication from partners. I explain; Microsoft and Avanade are relevant partners for us, but the difficulty I encounter is to find budget, time and permission (availability) to research our partner’s products. For instance over the last few month, I have been busy to created some scenario’s to include Microsoft blog and other feature to our museum visitors, (I’m able to penetrated and distribute around 1 million of them to our museum visitors.)The Netherlands is a great country to start and so far it’s looking better than expected. The problem I face is team, time, budget and permission. An outsider like Bruno would like to get access to a small team from our partners to communicated and getting closer to a “real” answer. A customise (easy to use) blog, with additional features (such as online AD)
Although Microsoft do host a know how HR; outside the company, people like myself are eager to swimming and get the project further by combining forces and knowledge’s. Basically how could I get involve (strategy) with Microsoft blog’s team to modified and accommodated the blog to our viewers?
During a meeting at Microsoft NL, they ask me what my dream is. Been with a team from our partners for a few month and deliver a few working results. By combining, knowledge and culture differences on existing project from all parties we will get faster and increase the quality of the product. Right now we are involved with the development of a new museum portal, but I have the apprehensions that it may need additional brain power to go faster into the market. I must say that all the ingredients are available, technology, market and consumers to distribute to.
Any tips are welcom.. and if anyone is in holland visit the new Microsoft office at Schiphol Airport, it's fun and new...
