Welcome to Lingoport’s January - February 2010 WorldReady Newsletter

Is it still a new year? I know I’m not alone in being happy to leave 2009 behind and move ahead into 2010. While our world economy is hardly recovered, for us, business started looking up in 2009’s final quarter. 2010 seems to be already making up for lost time. Despite the slowdown, we spent considerable expense and effort on Globlayzer to give people faster and better internationalization results.

We released Globalyzer 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. That effort has already paid off with some very notable new Globalyzer customers. Difficult environments can bring us to closely examine our efforts, commitments and purpose in a way that success makes it easy to overlook – not that there’s anything wrong with success. Allow me to paraphrase and share some of the questions I’ve put to good use:

  • Why am I doing this? Consider my clarity of purpose. What is my mission?
  • What is a clear vision of what the future looks like?
  • Separate the important from the unimportant.
  • Identify constraints.
  • Identify strengths.
  • Define success.
  • What is more meaningful?

This works for any plateau or difficult situation for business and it even works in our personal relationships.
 
In this newsletter, we have a feature article on innovation. It has also been published in MultiLingual Computing. Everyone likes to say they are fans of innovation, but the reality is we often reject it first. I think it’s useful to take a fresh look at what innovation really means, what it looks like and where it comes from. We hope you enjoy the article.

We have past webinars available, and especially have news regarding Globlayzer’s 3.2 release.
 
I’m also inviting you to attend the Worldware Conference with me. I get excited about Worldware because it focuses on internationalization from a strategic management perspective, rather than low level programming issues. This is a conference for software professionals who manage and steer a company’s global endeavors. I hope you can join me!
 
Best regards,

P.S. If you are able to attend WorldWare, please contact me to schedule a time to meet up with you.

Innovation, Rejection and Overcoming Pitfalls

Bright IdeasWe pay a great deal of attention to innovation and sing its praises. But actually the road to creation, improvement and acceptance is messy and full of pitfalls. Innovation is often hard to recognize and to assign value, at first. More often than not, its introduction doesn’t live up to everyone’s expectations. But still it leaps forward, gracefully or not. I think it’s worth considering innovation more closely, given my own trials of bringing software to market, as well as watching the current industry public opinion mêlée regarding crowdsourcing.
