1. PodTech.net: Blog » Blog Archive » Dell Roundtable video is up, do you think Michael Dell will blog in 2007?:

   […] The whole video can be found here (sorry I still can’t get the embed function to work with my posts here on PodTech).  The question is then, should all CEOs blog?  Well, of course not.  That’s a far too simplistic question.  The real question is why don’t more CEOs blog and will Michael Dell join the blogging CEO cadre (hey why didn’t anyone bring up Bob Lutz of GM over Mark Cuban?).

   Perhaps Mr. Dell needs to seek out the insights of a ‘customer advocate’ who isn’t an employee. My point: an objective outside person would be more inclined to be candid, in a way that a Dell employee will not.

   Clearly, Dell Computer is a very traditional company where the PR folks have typically ‘managed’ the dialog with Dell’s public. The notion of a direct and open interactive dialog, without corporate spin, is a very different model.

   I believe that they are making progress, but outspoken and engaged customers aren’t being fully leveraged.

   I forgot to mention, I wrote a post about this very topic, and a Dell spokesperson has responded with insightful comments.

   […] When combined with Michael Dell meeting with bloggers directly at CES, I can see Dell is trying hard to change. An organization that large can’t change everything in a day, but they are trying to change the priorities. The evidence is now strong that Dell is starting to learn to listen to customers, they should keep listening and innovating from that listening.

    FYI, Dell has launched IdeaStorm to engage constituents, and I’ve posted my first suggestion (a tech support social network) called the “Dell Customer Corps”
