10 ways to use blogs for managing projects

Blogs aren’t just for marketing - there are many areas of the business where they can help improve information flow, reduce clutter and avoid the dreaded “but I didn’t know about that” situation. Here’s ten ways that we’ve used blogs for managing projects - both internally and with our clients.

“Surely media organisations, for so long campaigners for open government and for freedom of information, cannot be suggesting that their own commercial interests are to them of greater importance than the public’s right to know?

“Members of the public will have exactly the same rights, at exactly the same time, as members of the media. Simultaneous publication is sensible publication.”

The journalist’s counter to what at first take seems like an obvious gain for the open, free flow of information is to ask:
