One of the pieces of feedback we got after the MIX Mashup in 2012 was about creating more opportunities for MIXers to meet other management innovators more often. Perhaps the MIX could support community members to schedule their own meetups, providing materials, ideas, and speakers to make these events...

My experience as a MiX contributor, as well as a practitioner who has perused the MiX for answers to some of my pressing, practical issues, is that there are a great number of great ideas on the MiX, but very few real, practical tools or solutions that I can leverage...

This is an adaptation of a sophisticated, perhaps patentable framework that I have painstakingly developed and implemented over the years to bust silos and build community. I've taken my 326-page dissertation on the subject and boiled it down to these five easy steps, customized specifically for the MIX:

  1. Pick two
  2. ...

A couple of years ago, the MIX was born as a project. Today, after all the contributions we have made together and all the interactions as fellow Mixers, I think it is safe for us to say that we have become something bigger: a community.

Then, my suggestion is to...

While submitting our M-prize entry was an incredible experience for my team, I would have loved more interaction with other finalists. The stories were incredible and I would love to learn from the awesome contributors. Perhaps the judges could do a little match making by pairing finalists and encouraging them...

Having attended the MIX Mashup I just wanted to make a quick observation. Seth Godin writes about how we now live in a society of spectators. I felt that way about my experience at the Mashup. I wanted to talk and discuss and create and collaborate, but instead found myself...

'The MIX as a community': for me this is the key hacking area by far. I'm interested that Alberto Blanco suggests that we are already a community. For me, it doesn't feel like it. Certainly not a 'community of passion' that we hacked about before. Perhaps that's just because I've...

In my experience, really good content comes from the back and forth conversation among the content creators. I guess this is my bias as a blogger. But I find the Mix posts, with their rigid structure, and sources, etc. to come across as very finished projects. I read them, and...

Many online sites like Ebay, Amazon, and Slashdot have reputational capital systems that make it clear who the top contributors are in the community. These systems can recognize people for simply making contributions, for how useful their contributions are, or even for how well they build off of the ideas...

The MIX has developed a broad network of MIX Mavericks—some of the most well-known management innovators in the world. We think MIXers would find it valuable to interact with Mavericks more frequently--for instance, through regular google hangouts open to all, with questions submitted by the community in advance of the...
