The single thing that makes a digital platform your favourite place is “One Thing”. Here is the key to understanding of digital transformation for daily working activities: this single thing that is giving you best return for your time invested is UNIQUE. To give you an example, the fancy automobile you buy makes you feel part of a resonating trend and ultimately part of a successful group of people who can afford it, yet you drive the car to a destinations of your personal choice. Same when you travel to the top destination Iceland, for example, yet the experience of your vacation is personal, reflecting your choice of adventure.
What is the “One Thing” for Google+
It is the individual activity on Google+ platform that is transforming your mindset. [Tweet Google+ uniqueness is just the opposite to “Ford’s “A customer can have a car painted any color he wants as long as it’s black”]
We could hardly imagine an application that understands our interests and connects us instantly on the topic. It is not a future experience, it is a present Google+ free accessible application to connect you to your most desired new contacts and ultimately new projects.

The new concept is a reflection of our natural communication through the tools of Google features and algorithm. Each professional have their personality and character and if seminars, events and team buildings are the place to socialize with colleagues, Google Collections are the digital spaces provided for this purpose. I would recommend starting with one hobby collection and one curated collection around the topic of your professional expertise.
A Google+ Collection passion and hobby is a handy advanced feature with the potential of immediate conversation starter, same as during offline meetings you talk about the weather, travel, food before jumping on the agenda. One hint for the covers of your collections: play with colors to easily catch attention for personal, either professional collections.
