A minor update to the categories.
I’ve gotten rid of the ‘Career Moats’ category, and merged the topics there with the ‘General Careers’ category.
Instead, I’ve created a new topic titled ‘Business Decision Making’. The new description reads:
Business Decision Making
This is about general business decision making — things like strategy, operational efficiency, business models, and so on.
Over time, Commonplace’s focus has shifted to making better decisions in a business context, not just in a career context.
Good topics here include things like competitive advantages, operational excellence, running good metrics, or repositioning a company. If you’re likely to discuss it in an exec education course on business strategy, you’re likely to want to discuss it here.
This reflects some of the topics that members already naturally talk about, and also the topics that the blog actually discusses.
