Who's buyin' who? That was one of the big questions of the week as reports intensified about probable sales of both Lexington, Ky.-based Lexmark and EMC's Documentum business.

We also shared some interesting observations on why your intranet sucks and your digital transformation is stuck in low gear — and warned you that it's time to stop marketing to your customers.
Learning Opportunities
One of my favorite stories of the week featured candid leadership advice from Kim Malone Scott, an author with impressive credentials. Take a look: you don't often get to hear from someone who has worked at who's who of tech companies including Google, Apple, Twitter — and also started a diamond cutting factory in Moscow.
