			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've added a new link to the blog today - <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/keyboard-shortcuts-HP003084223.aspx">Microsoft Office keyboard shortcuts</a>. I highly recommend this to anyone using Office products - and in fact I think it's essential for productivity.</p>
<p>When I'm using Outlook I use a hierarchy of folders to store emails which require no further action*. The particular shortcut that led me to find this page was<br />
<code>Move item	CTRL+SHIFT+V</code><br />
It's worth taking the time to acquaint yourself with all of these shortcuts.</p>
<p>*When I'm using Gmail, I don't categorise - but that's because Gmail has a far superior interface for performing searches.</p>

<li>Organisational structure should not be confused for communication structure</li>
<li>Success hides problems. </li>
<li>If you give a good idea to a mediocre group they'll screw it up. If you give a mediocre idea to a good group they'll fix it - or throw it away. (described by Ed as "People and how they function is more important than ideas")</li>
<li>When a team functions well together, they will succeed</li>
<li>Make something that's broken better rather than copying a success -> taken literally this could be contrary to Al Ries theory of mining the rich gold vein in his book <em>Focus</em></li>
<li>Post mortems should be a critical in depth analysis. Pixar's current post mortem technique is to ask people to give feedback regarding the process they used on that film: 5 things they would do again and 5 things they wouldn't do again</li>
</ul>
