FT Works in the News
Sweet Sixteen
FT Works turned 16 this month! I’m so thankful to our customers over the years for allowing us to flourish for so long, to my partners, who have made this adventure possible, and enjoyable, and to all of you readers of the blog or newsletter.
Looking forward to the next 16 — and beyond!
The Real Mavens of Social Business
I am working on a chapter for an upcoming book compiled by Shawn Santos on the topic of social support, to be published by Pearson. I will be writing about my adventures building support communities.
Curious about something? Send me your suggestions for topics — or add one in the comments — and your name will appear in future newsletters.
Regards,
Françoise Tourniaire
