1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation came to life when…
Our Managing Director, Ruchir Punjabi, was late for a meeting at a cafe on Oxford St. in 2010 to discuss how he could grow his company and where the opportunities lie in the future of the web.
As he was frustratingly trying to look for the address of the cafe on his iPhone he realised that this terrible experience he was having trying to navigate the website was actually the answer to his question.
This planted the seed to build an instant mobile site converter that allows small businesses to quickly, easily and inexpensively optimise their website for mobile.
2. WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
Langoor.mobi instantly converts websites to make them optimised for mobile devices. After the website has been converted to mobile, users can then further customise the mobile site with several add-ons.
It does this by…
Instantly converting the site to a mobile format. Then our technology allows users to add features like ‘click to call’, ‘click to mail’ and ‘locate us’ buttons as well as customised menus and content.
3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
Previously, there were no real options to optimise your website for mobile. This would be an expensive and complex task, which would not be feasible for small, local businesses. Langoor.mobi allows businesses to have a professional mobile site instantly for $9/month.
The benefits to the customer/end-user include…
The site is designed to be user-friendly so that a local business owner will be able to build their own customised site.
The mobile site with all premium features is just $9/month. We also offer a free, basic mobile site.
4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In the past, this problem was solved by…
Digital agencies and specialists in this area. This was an expensive and time-consuming process, which made it difficult for small businesses to get involved in.
Its predecessors/competitors include…
Dudamobile is the main competitor in this market. They are largely based in the USA.
Langoor.mobi is designed for the Australian market and we plan to be a market leader in this space in Australia.
5. TARGET MARKET
This innovation is made for…
Small-to-medium businesses that want an easy and inexpensive solution to be mobile-friendly.
Target customers include local businesses, which people search for when they are in a local area; these include restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes and local stores.
Other customers can include medical and law practices, taxi services.
There are a number of opportunities and our technology was designed specifically so that small business owners could build their own mobile site with only making a small investment in time and money.
6. DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY
It is available for sale through…
Visiting the langoor.mobi website, www.langoor.mobi, where you can instantly convert your website.
Our marketing strategy is to…
Sell primarily through driving leads to the website with Adwords, organic traffic and LinkedIn.
We are also looking at developing partnerships with hosting providers, digital agencies, freelancers and anyone who is interested in providing mobile sites to their clients.
We have partnered with Dimmi, Australia’s largest online restaurant booking company.

Co-Creation
The work of today will disappear
Artificial intelligence and technology could replace much of the existing work that we know today. In thirty years, today’s children will have jobs that we cannot imagine. In a future society, traits that only humans possess — such as co-creation — will become increasingly important.
Humans have always been creative
Humans are naturally creative. However, current education emphasizes only one correct answer over all others, stifling creativity. Free thinking and behavior that is different is suppressed. As a result, students become afraid of making mistakes and lose their natural creativity.
Whereas in the real world, we find that there are no problems that have only one correct answer. Often as not the correct answer 10 years ago is now incorrect. By creating new solutions that solve problems in different ways, and give people enjoyment in the process, new answers are born. It is creativity that allows us to overcome problems that cannot be defined as either correct or incorrect.
Humans have made this world through creative activities with others
A large number of people are addicted to smartphones. Their brains may be connected, but their bodies are isolated. As a result, opportunities for nurturing co-creative experiences are decreasing.
Humans learn about the world through interaction with others and by sharing experiences. People think with their bodies as they move through the world, and society has developed through creative activities born from collaboration.
Enjoying the Collaborative Creation Experience
One of teamLab's art concepts is Relationships Among People: transforming relationships between people and turning the presence of others into a positive experience. This is the idea behind the concept of transforming creative activities, which tend to be individualistic, into co-creative activities while maintaining freedom for both parties.
From this idea the project Future Park was born. |

The World Economic Forum proposes to revamp how things are run; while it’s high on ideals and ideas, critics accuse it of being elitist and detrimental to the poor
The Great Reset lays emphasis on automation, which may cause a lot of disruption in India.
As the pandemic takes lives, culls jobs, pummels industries and flattens economies, the world’s rich — nations, companies and individuals — have been looking at ways to make things better. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched The Great Reset as an initiative to address the key problems that mankind is facing now.
The idea, seen primarily as the brainchild of WEF Chief Executive Officer Klaus Schwab, is, on the surface at least, all things doable and eminently noble. Why then are right wingers smelling conspiracies, and why are the left wingers pooh-poohing the Great Reset?
And what difference does the initiative make to India, if it makes any… |

Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed. The created item may be intangible (such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical composition or a joke) or a physical object (such as an invention, a literary work or a painting).
Scholarly interest in creativity involves many definitions and concepts pertaining to a number of disciplines: psychology, cognitive science, education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business studies, songwriting, and economics, covering the relations between creativity and general intelligence, mental and neurological processes, personality type and creative ability, creativity and mental health; the potential for fostering creativity through education and training, especially as augmented by technology; and the application of creative resources to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning. |

Paris, France – 1st of February 2023
The SYNBEE project – SYNthetic Biology Entrepreneurial Ecosystem, funded under the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme, with an aim to expand entrepreneurial ecosystems built around synthetic biology.
Coordinated by eureKARE from Paris (France), the SYNBEE network brings together 14 leading business, research and academic institutions from 8 countries (France, Finland, Latvia, Ireland, Germany, United Kingdom, United States) with the ambition to harness the entrepreneurial potential of synthetic biology as an industry.
Synthetic biology is a disruptive technology that enables completely new processes and products for industry, medical applications and food production, while making them cheaper and more sustainable. Leading European research organizations have a proven scientific track record of excellence in the field, but remain largely under-exploited commercially.
Over the next 2 years, the main goal of the SYNBEE initiative will be to enhance entrepreneurial education of young synthetic biology professionals across European innovation ecosystems, thus improving their employability while empowering entrepreneurs to build synthetic biology companies in Europe and potentially create future unicorns.
SYNBEE’s unique methodology will be implemented by key synthetic biology players, including academic centers of excellence and their accelerators, incubators, and technology transfer offices, as well as industry partners and investors from 25 European countries who share this common goal.

Abstract
The paper considers some specifics of small innovative enterprises foundation in Russian gas-turbine engineering.
The percentage of small innovation enterprises (SIE) that pertain to the space-rocket hardware and gas turbine equipment in Russia is currently low. This can be explained by the fact, that commercialization of the results of scientific research in such a science-consuming industry as gas turbine engineering, where prospects are of no guarantee, presents high risks.
The author considered the example of a small innovation enterprise foundation in Russian gas turbine engineering with participation of a large gas-turbine engineering company and venture capital. SIE 1 has for its object development and commercialization one of the advanced competences in the sphere of parts design, development of industrial technologies and short-run production for gas-turbine engines.
At a project startup stage in gas-turbine engineering, Russian practice is characterized by common mistakes, which may turn into a real threat of risk situations occurrence in the sequel. These threats involve insufficient presentation; incompleteness of the products and services; the absence of unbiased price-quality relationship; low efficiency of labor caused by its wrong organization; ignoring legal questions of the case; irresponsiveness for the project executing; input barriers and volume of investment underestimation.
The set of methods for economic risk assessment, suggested by the author, allows get reliable information about the risk in tome. Such information is necessary for risk management, and can be recommended to assess investment qualities of investment objects during foundation of innovative small economic environment of Russian gas-turbine engineering companies.

postshift_com_resisting-the-fate-of-the-big-dumb-company_ | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4009
Recently we have been doing a lot of speaking on agile transformation within complex, distributed organisations. We always include examples of how large companies are making it work – we want to show that it is possible to be big and agile at the same time. Even so, we still get the comments: “These practices seem to make more sense for start-ups.”
It’s an understandable reflex. Many new management techniques originate in smaller companies who possess the right conditions for experimentation, such as inspired founders and reduced organisational complexity. But we now have a sizeable – and growing – body of case studies that show how large organisations are resisting the fate of the big, dumb company.
And so we celebrate companies like Kimberley-Clark who are shifting to a culture of accountability through its use of Workday data and continuous feedback from managers. And General Electric, who is still going strong at #125yearsyoung, by adopting Lean Startup techniques for agile product management and exploring the edge of the possible in its network of research labs.
Still, it’s the first step that is often the hardest. Whether you are a leader, manager, or employee, we encourage you to think about how to begin transforming today. Most often, the team is the basic unit of agile ways of working. Experiments with new teams structures – even if they are temporary for a project or set time – yield the insights and business cases that feedforward movement. For example, inspired by a ‘water cooler’ conversation, the UK online grocer Ocado began co-locating data scientists, software engineers, and contact centre workers in order to create solutions to improve customer response time. The result of bringing together these formerly separate teams? A 4x improvement in dealing with urgent negative sentiment emails.

AI is not only bringing with itself great technological change, but it appears that it will also change society as a whole.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that AI could end up changing the whole structure of society. ”AI does more to help the poorest people than the richest people,” he said. “(This) is a huge part of why we want to built these tools. I think technology does a great deal to lift the world to more abundance and to better prosperity,” he said in an interview.
“I still expect — and this is over a long period of time, this is not a like next year or, you know, the year after that kind of thing — but over a long period of time, I still expect that there will be some change required to the social contract. Given how powerful we expect this technology to be,” he said in an interview.
“I’m not a believer that there won’t be any jobs (after AI). I think we always find new things to do, but I do think like the whole structure of society itself will be up for some degree of debate and reconfiguration,” he added.
Altman didn’t specify what social changes could be brought about by AI. But one factor that might play a role in reshaping society is how white collar jobs might end up being disrupted by AI — over the last few months, it’s become apparent that most jobs in coding, medicine, law, and even creative fields like movie scriptwriting could end up being made redundant by AI systems. These are some of the highest paid professions in the world, and could quickly lose their relevance in the coming years. On the other hand, it might be a while before AI disrupts blue-collar jobs like plumbing, carpentry and construction, so it’s possible that in the near term, the social value of blue-collar and white-collar jobs could flip, and blue-collar jobs could end up being paid a lot better than white-collar ones.
But AI is also making rapid advances in robotics, so it’s not inconceivable that at some point in the future, AI will be able to perform blue-collar jobs better than humans too. At that point, AI systems will be better than humans at all tasks, and this could again change the social order. It might require humans to get some sort of Universal Basic Income, which Altman has himself proposed, and the determining of who all is eligible for this income and who’ll get how much could also require a re-understanding of our existing social contracts. Thus far, humans were the apex predator on the food chain because they were more intelligent than every creature on earth. And losing that spot by creating a new species that is more intelligent than themselves could end up having profound changes in how humans deal with each other — and the rest of society as a whole. |

Most CEOs recognize that business building is fundamental to success. McKinsey’s annual new-business building survey shows that executives expect new products, new services, and new businesses to deliver almost 30 percent of their revenues by 2027.1
In line with that goal, business leaders report that their companies are currently building 50 percent more new businesses per year than they did two to five years ago.2 But as effective as building new businesses through internal innovation and organic growth can be, it’s often not sufficient for companies pursuing ambitious growth agendas.3 Instead, these companies could take a lesson from digital disruptors and embark on a series of well-considered acquisitions.
Large companies are no strangers to the benefits of M&A, but their focus tends to be on acquiring one or two businesses to leverage economies of scale and capture cost synergies. Digital disruptors, however, acquire many more companies to accelerate their growth, a strategy that has proven successful. Companies that make, on average, more than five deals per year grow at double the rate of companies that only selectively pursue M&A. They also spend 38 percent less on each acquisition deal,4 allowing them to pursue a more programmatic approach: building a portfolio of companies that help them scale rather than going all out for one or two big targets.
One of the compelling advantages of this programmatic “buy and scale” approach to M&A is that it can succeed even under seemingly adverse conditions. According to our research, the businesses that perform best are those that defy conventional wisdom and embark on bold M&A moves regardless of economic downturns.5 And as valuations have come down from their lofty heights, costs per acquisition are coming down, too. Start-ups with great talent and intellectual property (IP) are more open to acquisitions again.6
How incumbents can make buy and scale work for them
In our experience, successful buy-and-scale efforts have five things in common.
1. A broad range of M&A goals based on a clear strategy
Digital disruptors undertake acquisitions for four reasons, each dictated by clear strategic objectives (Exhibit 1).
- Tech- and IP-driven acquisition. Buying a start-up to obtain access to and control over critical technologies and IP can accelerate time to market for new businesses, especially in emerging fields such as cleantech.
- Acqui-hiring. By acquiring a business for its talent, incumbents can bypass time-consuming and costly recruitment and onboarding processes, gaining immediate access to a seasoned team with relevant capabilities who can hit the ground running, and thus reducing release times for new products and businesses by months.
- Product expansion. Incumbents that add complementary elements to their core products, such as digital services to hardware, help to create fuller ecosystem offerings that can drive growth.7
- Regional expansion. Entering a market by acquiring a local company gives incumbents access to the local infrastructure, supply chain, and customers, speeding up time to market.

2. Governance structures to manage a portfolio of start-ups
Companies following a buy-and-scale approach typically establish a growth management office (GMO), an agile, growth-focused version of the IMO (integration management office) often used to manage acquisitions. In McKinsey’s latest survey on new-business building, most of the respondents who met or exceeded their revenue goals had in place formal governance structures, realistic expectations for required investments, and timelines to profitability.8
A typical GMO has three main tasks:
- The first is to define the strategy and scope of an integration well in advance of closing the deal.
- Second is to make the most of the acquisition’s unique assets, such as rapid innovation or fast growth, while protecting the incumbent’s core business. At one engineering firm, the GMO established a regime in which the acquired start-up had to comply with the incumbent’s supplier and security standards to mitigate reputational and legal risk but was free to maintain its own policies in matters such as hiring and the tech stack.
- Third is to define the respective responsibilities of the start-up and the incumbent and the interfaces between them. Some incumbents nominate a senior sponsor, often a board member, to manage communications with the start-up to help maintain its dynamism. They also offer incentives to their in-house teams to support the start-up, such as quotas for selling its products and services.
Once an acquisition is under way, the GMO sets up a lean M&A squad team to manage it, typically consisting of the senior business leader who drove the deal plus two or three working members. To get the effort off to the best start, functional and business experts from the incumbent spend time at the target to gain a deep understanding of its structure, assets, and needs.
3. Incentives tied to clear KPIs
Aligning incentives across the incumbent and start-up is critical in creating transparency on expectations for the path ahead. Road maps with clearly defined milestones and deliverables—such as revenue or customer targets or completion of a product-development stage—provide a mechanism for releasing additional funds and triggering bonus payments. Employee motivation and retention can be boosted through a range of measures tied to organizational goals, such as stock ownership plans. This approach requires the incumbent to develop a set of standards on bonuses, stock ownership plans, incentives, and performance management, which will be invaluable in getting alignment with the board and creating a consistent framework for integrating future acquired start-ups.
When one European cleantech company acquired several small businesses, for example, it offered their founders and executives vested equity in the newly merged entity to motivate them to continue to push for growth under the new ownership.
4. Retention of the start-up’s entrepreneurial drive and culture
When the primary purpose of M&A is to grow a start-up, the acquirer must curb any tendency to overcontrol the target, instead taking steps to uphold the acquisition’s entrepreneurial drive and decisiveness. Among mergers that take this approach, 72 percent avoid the typical first-year revenue dip.9 They do so by ensuring that the start-up’s leaders retain full decision-making authority in recruiting, product development, and other key areas, such as keeping office locations separate and dedicating each employee to either the incumbent or the start-up, with no overlapping responsibilities.
Since the value lies in accelerating the startup’s growth momentum rather than capturing cost synergies, they don’t attempt to integrate complex systems. McKinsey research shows that growth businesses that are separated from the incumbent’s core IT, marketing, data, and analytics functions and processes are significantly more likely to exceed growth expectations than those that are not.10 At a portfolio scale, this approach also simplifies integrations and allows the start-ups to move quickly. However, the incumbent will need to establish standards, such as APIs, so that start-ups can integrate with each other as needed. These standards can vary depending on the needed depth of integrations, and the incumbent will need to review them often to ensure that they have systems in place to support scale and mutual benefit for the acquired businesses.
This separation of functions can take many different forms. For instance, when a global car manufacturer acquired a Silicon Valley start-up, it stipulated that operational requests from the parent company must be routed via its CEO so that tech talent could stay focused on the job at hand and not be flooded with unnecessary daily challenges.
Cultural fit is critical to the success of an integration, according to 95 percent of executives in a McKinsey survey.11 Similarly, 25 percent of survey respondents cited a lack of cultural alignment as the primary reason for integration failure. Poor cultural cohesion can have a detrimental effect on retention rates, as Niklas Östberg, CEO of Delivery Hero, points out: “Younger companies often employ a young workforce who are quick to jump to the next company if they don’t like the new direction.”12 Our experience suggests that if a company has retained more than half of the new talent three years after an acquisition, that counts as a big success. To keep employees on board, incumbents need to show sensitivity and respect for cultural differences.

5. Start-up access to incumbent’s assets
In successful buy-and-scale efforts, incumbents deploy their own assets—sales force, customer base, brand, capital, scale, knowledge, and so on—to accelerate an acquisition’s growth. They don’t wait until the deal is done to define the nature of the collaboration but use the acquisition contract to specify how the start-up will access the acquirer’s five core assets:
- Customers: sales quotas to ensure the startup’s products and services benefit from the incumbent’s access to customers and are sold and distributed effectively alongside its own offerings
- IP and technology infrastructure: APIs and log-in tools to enable the start-up to connect with the incumbent’s IT systems, especially access to scalable infrastructure and unique IP such as tools and algorithms (while remaining free to maintain its own tech stack)
- Purchasing: dedicated representatives in the procurement department to give the start-up more bargaining clout and reduce sourcing costs
- Operations and manufacturing: dedicated machines or production slots in manufacturing plants to ease any start-up production bottlenecks
- Global footprint and legal support: standardized service-level agreements that take advantage of the incumbent’s legal resources to enable, for example, faster international expansion by navigating the different jurisdictions across regions
Sharing financial assets can be critical, too. Many incumbents provide working capital or funds for business building to help start-ups access low-cost capital and skip funding stages.
Developing buy and scale as a strategic muscle
Top companies look at M&A as an innovation engine.13 With this approach, M&A becomes a powerful means of competitive differentiation as acquirers build organizational capabilities and establish best practices across all stages of the M&A process.14 Successful acquirers build their M&A muscle by constantly identifying, pursuing, and integrating high-potential targets and embedding this capability in their business strategy. Such an effort works best when a company takes the following two steps.
Set up a venture-building board to oversee all new business and growth initiatives
A venture-building board should be made up of members from in-house strategy, innovation, and M&A teams; a venture-capital investor with an objective view of the business; and external experts to fill any knowledge gaps.15 This board typically meets monthly to review and approve budgets for new businesses launched by the incumbent (which are presented by representatives from the in-house incubator or accelerator) and to assess and approve M&A opportunities (presented by the GMO) (Exhibit 2).
The GMO is in constant contact with the internal incubator or accelerator team that focuses on organic growth initiatives and what the company needs to accelerate them (talent, technology, IP, market access, or other assets), so that it can seek out acquisitions that provide these elements. One key requirement of the venture-building board is to ensure that M&A activities support the business’s overall strategic objectives and are complementary assets to the new businesses that the incumbent itself has launched.
Create deal-management tools
Successful companies create tools that the GMO can use to identify targets, assess their potential for accelerating growth initiatives, and help inform decisions on whether to acquire them. To identify targets, successful acquirers use tools that automatically scan databases such as patent registers, commercial registers, GitHub, and LinkedIn for possible deals in line with specific criteria. To assess a target’s potential fit, they score it against criteria such as how many developers it has (for acqui-hiring) or how many regions and customers it covers (for international expansion). And to help with decisions to invest, they use predictive models that evaluate factors such as team experience (professional and educational), funding (including the presence of anchor investors), digital footprint (through web traffic and semantic analyses of keywords), and financial data (drawn from company reports and press statements).
At one international consumer goods company, the venture-building board meets monthly to assess, prioritize, and make funding decisions for new growth opportunities, both M&A and organic.16 It evaluates potential targets and new-business-building ventures via an “opportunity funnel” that extends from idea sourcing to opportunity identification, prioritization, diligence, action, and portfolio management. Taking this approach, the company has built an engine that is able to successfully manage up to ten acquisitions per year to drive growth.
We see other companies taking a slightly different approach—for example, keeping a list of potential acquisition candidates that are prioritized by the GMO and reaching out to cultivate them for fit and a possible deal. Once a deal is approved, the GMO sets up a dedicated M&A squad to take responsibility for every stage of the acquisition, from due diligence to integration.
For approaches like these to work, senior leaders need to carve out blocks of time to cultivate targets and develop long-term relationships that may eventually lead to acquisition.
Strategic M&A is a catalyst for growth. That doesn’t mean making one big game-changing acquisition. Rather, it means pursuing frequent small acquisitions that fuel innovation across multiple areas and support in-house businessbuilding efforts in line with corporate growth objectives. |

How to evaluate your new Product/Startup idea
Evan Williams is one of those many entrepreneurs that I admire. Well, he is one of the team behind two hugely successful web applications - Blogger and Twitter. Here, I’m going to re-phrase and re-think over one of his recent article - Will it fly? How to Evaluate a New Product Idea (original at http://evhead.com/2007/12/how-to-evaluate-new-product-idea.asp).
Evan goes deep with the following points;
- Tractability
- Obviousness
- Deepness
- Wideness
- Discoverability
- Monetizability
- Personally Compelling
He finally charts out a table of some of the most popular Internet Applications/Products to make it easier to bring home his points.
It will be a folly to review or analyze or even negate the points of such a successful entrepreneur. So, for my own satisfaction, let me phrase out some excerpts from the article which have made me re-think many of my own wild ideas.
Tractability
Tractability is partially about the technical difficulty and much about timing and competition – i.e., How advanced are the other solutions? Building a new blogging tool today is less-tractable because the bar is higher. Building the very first web search engine was probably pretty easy. Conversely, building the very first airplane was difficult, even though there wasn’t any competition.
I’m not sure if it is gifted to just the smarter people, but hitting the right timing and momentum is one of the hardest things while working on a product idea, developing it and pushing it to the users. You’re are either too early or always late with the “Oh! I was thinking of that but I think I’m late now” moments. Or perhaps, one would learn after a heap-lot of failures and mistimings.
Obviousness
Most of your ideas seem obvious until you realize it isn’t that obvious with the users. You feel that your idea is kick-ass until you realize it is unclear to the users!
Evan says,
The key question for evaluating an idea is: Is it obvious why people should use it? In most cases, obviousness in this regard is inversely proportional to tractability. The cost of Blogger and Twitter’s high tractability was the fact that they were defining a new type of behavior. The number one response to Twitter, still, is why would anyone do that? Once people try it, they tend to like it. But communicating its benefits is difficult. We’re heartened by the fact that Why would anyone do that? was the default response by the mainstream to blogging for years, as well, and eventually tens of millions of people came around.
As Evan says, there are indeed common ideas that are highly tractable and obvious, like Personals, dating applications, which is so obvious of being a great business proposition. However, from Internet history, we know that there are only a very few which are successful despite the humungous number of Personals related applications that we’ve seen since the beginning of the Internet.
Deepness
This is one of those areas where, if you’re few and small in number, don’t really want to venture initially. The deeper the concept, the longer it will take; the longer it takes, you become more and more tired and tend to give up mid-way. I’m pretty sure most of the Applications that are deeper now started off small, shallow and its depth increases with the need and demand for features.
Wideness
Of course, one would like their products/apps are widely used and adopted by as many users as possible. However, there are niche products or apps that are targeted for a smaller fraction of the users and are apt for just those few users.
Here is another excerpt from Evan’s article;
Like deepness, wideness can take you by surprise. The web is getting so damn big, what seem like niche ideas can be very decent businesses. Sometimes, you can find a spot that is both deep and wide. This is where multi-billion-dollar businesses are built: Google, Windows, Ebay. It’s easy to think these kinds of opportunities aren’t laying around anymore – at least not for the little guy. But most people would have said the same before Facebook entered the picture.
Discoverability
Different ideas lend themselves to different discoverability strategies. Some things are more difficult than others to spread. Dating sites, for instance, have not historically been viral, because people weren’t going to invite their friends to – or even talk much about – their personal ads. The sites made up for this by buying lots of ads, which worked because they monetized signups via subscription.
Successfully spreading your product’s reach through “viral” methods are mostly out of luck and some through experienced “viral” marketing strategies. This is something which I’m personally most intrigued by and something which I’ve no clue where it should start and/or end.
Monetizability
Of course, if you know a way to earn money out of your Product, it’s definitely a plus point. However, it is rather common, especially among new entrepreneurs and developer-turned entrepreneurs to sideline the business point of earning money for a later date. We always believe if a product or an application is successful, there will always be a way to make money.
Personally Compelling
Yeah! It is better off being involved in a product developed in which you feel like using it and is proud to introduce the product to your friends, family, and relatives.
Great products almost always come from someone scratching their own itch. Create something you want to exist in the world. Be a user of your own product. Hire people who are users of your product. Make it better based on your own desires.
Evan added;
However, “personally compelling” doesn’t have to mean only that you want it as a user yourself. Curing cancer or helping the world be more green may be highly personally compelling for other reasons, which I think is just as good. My favorite products are those I really want as a user, but that I also think has some “greater good.” |

It was a celebration of innovation when the University of East London's Schools of Architecture, Computing and Engineering, and Arts and Creative Industries joined forces to host a combined end of year showcase.
STEAM Show 22, staged at the University's Docklands campus, featured work by graduate students from both schools, with pieces on display including film, photography, digital art, architecture, fashion and textiles.
Co-hosted by Dr David Tann, dean of the School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering (ACE) and Dr Natalie Garrett-Brown, interim dean of the School of Arts and Creative Industries (ACI), and opened by UEL provost Professor Hassan Abdalla, the event highlighted the bar-setting work being produced by UEL's industry-ready graduates.
With a soundscape of live entertainment provided by students from BA (Hons) Music Performance and Production, guests were invited to immerse themselves in the creative worlds of both schools. As they toured the different media spaces graduates were on hand to talk about their work - the process, the inspiration and their hopes for the future.
BSc (Hons) Architecture student Korell Llaudes (pictured above) saw his work included in the showcase for ACE. He said, "I feel very proud to see my work displayed in the Way Out East Gallery. It is important to be noticed and I am honoured that some people who have come to the show today will get to see what I have created.
"My work on display is titled 'Home for culture in Lower Marsh', which is where I created a civic centre, combining a lower ground floor retail space for the public, with a courtyard connecting to a kitchen area. Upstairs, I also included classrooms and a roof lounge.
"My inspiration for the work was to introduce an area where people can seamlessly access London's Lower Marsh at different levels, sit down with food and drink options and introduce new green spaces at every level in the building."
He added: "I have been able to learn from all my lecturers and implement their architectural perspectives into my work. I will use this as I continue with job interviews at architecture practices. I am also trying to set up workshops at my former school as I want to support my community in Croydon. I hope that by introducing architecture and design to school children, they will have more opportunities to be creative."
Fresh off the back of showing at London Fashion Week BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles student Alicia Ikekaji (pictured above) was selected to showcase her designs at the event on behalf of ACI.
She said, "It's an honour to be included in this show. My work sold very well at London Fashion Week, so I'm delighted that it can be seen by people here.
"I've had a wonderful time at UEL. My lecturers have been so supportive, I've learned so much from them. They have given us so many amazing opportunities. I feel ready and I'm excited to see what's next."

With the advances that science, technology and regulation have brought, many companies today have excellent engineering capabilities, a fantastic technical framework and good governance. In theory, these companies should function reliably and also achieve great value. But often, that is not the case. What is going wrong? DuPont took a cultural journey to find the “missing link.”
Many companies take too narrow an approach when implementing improvement methodologies or become overly dependent on elaborate procedures that do not lead to sustainable results. The clue to extracting maximum value from productivity improvements lies in an integrated approach. Put differently, the key is operational excellence, defined as “the application of principles, systems and tools to engage and focus everyone’s efforts on meeting customers’ needs and continuously improving process performance.”
Figure 1: Market Drivers – Operational excellence is one of the most important issues for CEOs globally
According to the 2013 CEO Challenge study conducted by the Conference Board,1 operational excellence is one of the top three most important issues for CEOs globally. It is widely recognized as one of the most important contributors to a company’s sustainable performance and growth.
Businesses today face global competition and are part of global supply chains. Social and environmental regulations and expectations are becoming ever more stringent. Investors expect companies to pursue lower cost and higher value products with existing assets. To survive, organizations have to adapt rapidly and efficiently to changes in market demand and competitive pressures at plant level. They need to find and pursue synergies to drive productivity and efficiency. All these external drivers exert pressure on companies to improve their overall operations performance. Those that manage to do so reap the benefits of a productive workforce, increased value and sustainable growth.
So, what are the key elements to achieving operational excellence? Du- Pont found that one of the key steps is to create an aligned and productive culture.
Founded in 1802, DuPont is a chemical-based manufacturing company. Throughout its history, the company has learned many safety and asset management lessons. Over the years, DuPont has come to understand that the often hidden influence on safety performance – the people part – is also key to operational excellence and asset management. By fixing the safety culture and setting the right mind-sets and behaviors for safety, the company found it not only improved its safety performance in the long run, but also its productivity and operations excellence in asset management. This article outlines the main features of this cultural journey, which can be applied to any organization.
Figure 2: DuPont's business results linked to operational excellence
Getting the Balance Right
All companies want to create value: for society, for the customer and for the stakeholders. As companies strive to create value, they have to strike a delicate balance between risk management and driving profit. There are two main strategies for achieving this. The first is to reduce risk to an acceptable level (protecting the asset). The second is to increase profit in a sustainable way (optimizing the asset). Everything DuPont does in asset management stems from those two clear business imperatives.
The ideal scenario is for a company to mitigate risk while achieving ever-rising profits. That may sound utopian, but is, in fact, linked. DuPont recognized this and, therefore, set out to establish a sustainable model, as shown in quadrant 1 of Figure 3. Profit is balanced by risk mitigation to a tolerable and acceptable level.
Figure 3: Business value risk model
So far, so good. But how does a company achieve this status?
Like many other companies, DuPont has worked with numerous systems, from Six Sigma to Lean, and other logical tool sets that support technical models. One of the aims, of course, has been to improve asset productivity and eliminate waste. Many of these are excellent tools and DuPont still uses and establishes competencies in them. However, the trap that is easy to fall into is the illusion that these systems alone will transform asset productivity. The same holds true for PAS55 and now ISO55000 or ISO55000 in conjunction with ISO31000 for risk management. These standards provide an excellent framework for asset management and help companies develop their internal strategies and standards to support value creation from an asset. But, as important as these systems are and however much they appeal to those who are engineers and scientists, they are not enough on their own.
In fact, the recently produced International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) report2 into asset integrity failures across the industry found that among the top causes of incidents were human factors, competencies and failure to establish technical and capability programs in a sustainable way. As will be discovered further on, these company behavior patterns are set at leadership level. Culture and mind-sets are engendered from the top. As another report by Oil & Gas UK3 in 2009 highlighted, the number one underlying cause for asset management events is poor leadership. Again, culture and mind-sets are engendered from the top.
Promoting Independence
At DuPont, it is recognized that leadership and other human factors influence outcomes. It is, therefore, people’s behavior that is the focus of the company’s safety performance, production system and other management models.
Over the years, DuPont has developed a safety assessment tool called the DuPont Bradley Curve,4 based on the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. This model allows DuPont to assess where it is in its safety culture. It has become clear that there is a tipping point in an organization when the culture becomes much more effective and develops its own momentum. This critical point of transition lies between the dependent and independent phases shown on the Bradley Curve in Figure 4. Once employees cross the cultural bridge from compliance (force) to choice, they become supremely motivated, not just for safety, but also for operational excellence.
The reason for this lies in people’s innate attitudes and behaviors. The following explains how employees are likely to act and react in the different phases of the Bradley Curve, particularly as it applies to operations, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Figure 4: The DuPont Bradley Curve
Reactive culture
An organization that finds itself in the reactive phase is in a vicious cycle of one action resulting in a destructive reaction. Behavior is based on instinct. Compliance is the goal. People follow the rules because they have to. The “law of the jungle” prevails. The attitude is likely to be, “just get the day in;” do whatever it takes to get through it fast and out the other end. Reactive behavior often manifests in people taking shortcuts, schedule busting, little discrimination in prioritizing work (everything is urgent), little or no schedule backlogs, etc. This is where companies encounter “silos” and a notion of “the enemy,” whereas operations versus maintenance versus reliability. This is the worst place to be and is often reflected in safety performance, too. It is not a good environment to work in!
Dependent culture
Dependence is a little better, but employees will still do things only because they are told to, or because there is an implied threat. Fear and discipline are the motivators. In this organizational culture, people leave their brains behind in the workplace parking lot and let their bosses decide for them. If the boss gets it wrong, there can be big implications. If the boss is not there, employees tend to slip back into reactive behavior. In this environment, there may be a focus on training, but not necessarily on competence.
Independent culture
In this quadrant, there is a subtle, yet significant mind-set change. People follow the rules because they want to and because they see the sense and benefits in doing so. That makes for a much better place to work. In this environment, people know what the right thing to do is and they do it. They often understand their role is directly linked to business results. Applied to asset management, this means the culture of maintenance reliability leadership has changed from a cost focus to a value focus. As a matter of fact, this aligns with the ISO55000 asset management standard. In an independent behavior phase, you begin to see individual recognitions and the adoption of good and best practices because everyone knows the goal. However, there is still room for improvement.
Interdependent culture
Once organizations attain a culture of interdependence, things are done for the greater good. Organizations are in a virtuous cycle of one action affirming a new, better action. Everyone is aligned with a joint goal. Operations work as equal partners with maintenance reliability. People cross boundaries without being asked to do so and proactively help each other. There is collaboration. Knowledge is codified and shared. Mentoring and coaching is the norm. There is team recognition, but not just for heroic efforts, such as those responding to an after-hours production incident. In this environment, a planner or planning team that quietly and methodically extracts value and eliminates waste by superior planning will be recognized and receive acclaim. Thus, the virtue of proactivity trumps reactivity.
The best things about the interdependent quadrant are:
- It is NOT Utopia, it’s attainable;
- It comes with superior safety results because the attitude is the same for safety, reliability, operations excellence, etc.;
- It is sustainable.
The same quadrants of the Bradley Curve used at DuPont to monitor and assess safety culture also apply to other management systems. If employees act independently and responsibly because they see the value for themselves and for the business, that not only benefits safety, but also maintenance, reliability, performance, output and quality, all of which contribute to creating value and improving operational excellence.
But what makes people want to become that interdependent? It is quite a leap from reactive behavior to independence and interdependence. DuPont believes the clue is in visibly demonstrating leadership commitment so people see and feel that senior management is doing exactly what it also expects from all employees.
Achieving Sustainable Asset Productivity
Driven by an imperative for asset productivity sustainability in a period of intense business challenges, DuPont developed its own DuPont Production System (DPS). This system is based on a four-strand approach:
- Managing or Governance Process;
- Technical Model;
- Capability Model;
- Mind-sets and Behaviors.
Figure 5: Clean tech- Sulfur Morses Mill (Morses)
DuPont has transformed its own business model in the past seven years by working with this four-strand approach. DuPont has found from its work with other companies through its consulting business, DuPont Sustainable Solutions, that companies tend to concentrate on the technical, capability, or governance processes. These are very important. However, in order for a business and asset management processes to succeed and thrive, it is equally important to promote the right culture.
Once DuPont applied its Bradley Curve culture assessment learnings, coupled with the right leading indicators, to operations excellence, maintenance, reliability and other capabilities, they began to flourish. Technical and capability models will not work without understanding the true culture of an organization and what needs fixing. And to fix, you start with leadership.
DuPont has found that a sustainable solution to operations excellence, which includes an asset management program, is only viable if the right governance, technical model, capabilities and, critically, a supportive culture are in place. If any one of these elements is weak, the whole program is likely to fail.
As an owner-operator, DuPont is in a unique position to assess and guide other companies through DuPont Sustainable Solutions using real- time experience. With a toolbox of mind-set and behavior resources, Du- Pont has worked with clients in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, energy, mining, agriculture and food to assess where they are and to help them move, as DuPont has had to do, to the right side of the Bradley Curve.

The Green Corridor as a Tool to Accelerate Decarbonization
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. Key stakeholders are looking at ways to build a business case for sustainable maritime transport.
In October 2022, the Port of Gothenburg and the Port of Rotterdam signed a memorandum of understanding for a green corridor by finding ways to stimulate the use of new alternative fuels. What has happened since? Can we learn from best practices taken from existing green corridors? And can maritime green corridors become an important tool to accelerate decarbonization in the maritime transport sector?
Port of Gothenburg and Port of Rotterdam share their insights.
Building a Business Case for Sustainable Maritime Transport
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. But what are some of the challenges that key stakeholders experience today? What are the costs involved and how can the burden be shared? What are some incentives needed to take first steps?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we bring together ports, shipowners, cargo owners and regulatory authorities to discuss the state of play in the transition to sustainable shipping.
The Impact of EU’s Fit for 55 on the Maritime Sector
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. The EU is well underway to adopt the Fit for 55 package, containing proposals that set intra-EU shipping on the pathway to complete decarbonization by 2050.
What does the Fit for 55 package entail for actors in the maritime transport industry that operate in the EU? Does it create sufficient incentives to initiate the development of new fuels and technologies before 2030?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we will look at these questions together with experts in the field.
Getting the World on Board – the International Maritime Organization’s Sustainability Efforts
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. The EU is well underway to adopt the Fit for 55 package, containing proposals that set intra-EU shipping on the pathway to complete decarbonization by 2050. Meanwhile, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced a rating system as a stimulus to reduce carbon intensity, with the goal of cutting emissions from international shipping by at least half by 2050.
What are the latest developments in IMO’s greenhouse gas-strategy? Is it possible to get all countries on board with its sustainability goals? How does Fit for 55 affect what IMO is doing? And does the IMO CII regulation truly create a level playing field for shipping companies and cargo owners around the world?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we will look at these questions together with experts in the field.
”IMO – the International Maritime Organization – is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine and atmospheric pollution by ships. IMO’s work supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.” (Source: IMO.org)

When describing the process of disruptive innovation, Clay Christensen set about to also describe the process by which a technology is developed by visionaries in a commercially unsuccessful way. He called it cramming.
Cramming is a process of trying to make a not-yet-good-enough technology great without allowing it to be bad. In other words, it’s taking an ambitious goal and aiming at it with vast resources of time and money without allowing the mundane trial and error experimentation in business models.
To illustrate cramming I borrowed his story of how the transistor was embraced by incumbents in the US vs. entrants in Japan and how that led to the downfall of the US consumer electronics industry.
Small upstarts were able to take the invention, wrap a new business model around it that motivated the current players to ignore or flee their entry. They thus successfully displaced the entrenched incumbents even though the incumbents were investing heavily in the technology and the entrants weren’t.
In the image below, the blue “path taken by established vacuum tube manufacturers” is the cramming approach vs. the green entry by outsiders who worked on minor new products which could make use of the rough state of transistors at their early stages of development.
The history of investment in transistor-based electronics shows how following the money (i.e. R&D) did not lead to value creation, quite the opposite. There are many such examples: The billions spent on R&D by Microsoft did not help them build a mobile future and the billions spent on R&D by Nokia did not help them build a computing future.
There are other white elephant stories such as IBM’s investment in speech recognition to replace word processing, the Japanese government spending on “Fifth Generation Computing” and almost all research into machine translation and learning from the 1960s to the present.
But today we hear about initiatives such as package delivery drones and driverless cars and robots and Hyperloops and are hopeful. Perhaps under the guiding vision of the wisest, most benevolent business wizards, breakthrough technologies and new infrastructures can finally be realized and we can gain the growth and wealth that we deserve but are so sorely lacking.
But the failure of crammed technologies isn’t rooted in a lack of wisdom. It was the wisest of minds which foresaw machine learning, advanced computing, mobility and convergence coming decades before they came. It was their wisdom which convinced others that resources should be spent on these initiatives. And it was the concentrated mind power of thousands of scientists which spent hundreds of billions in academic and government research.
What failed wasn’t the vision but the timing and the absence of a refinement process. Technologies which succeed commercially are not “moonshots.”1 They come from a grinding, laborious process of iteration and discovery long after the technology is invented.
The technology is one part of the problem to be solved, the other is how to get people to use it. And that problem is rooted in understanding the jobs people have to get done and how the technology can be used defensibly. That’s where the rub is. An unused technology is a tragic failure. Not just because it has no value but because the resources (those beautiful minds) used in making it could have been applied elsewhere.
Building usage means imparting and retrieving learning through a conversation with the customer. That conversation is best spoken with a vocabulary of sales and profits. Without profits the value is unclear. Nothing is proven. Without economic performance data, the decision of resource allocation becomes a battle of egos.2 The decision may be right but going by past history the odds are low.
Incidentally, timing is the other element that is key to success. It might seem that timing really is a matter of luck. But timing can be informed by the same conversation with the customer. As you observe adoption you can also measure how long it take for a technology to be adopted. You can do A/B tests and see what is faster.
The most reliable method of breakthrough creation is not the moonshot but a learning process that involves steady iteration. Small but profitable wins. A driver-less car might be achieved but first a driver-assisting car might teach the right lessons. An electric car might be achieved but first a hybrid car might teach the lessons needed. A delivery drone might be achieved but first a programmable UPS truck might be a better way to learn.
And finally, Android (née Linux) in 2005 might have been foreseen as the future of mobile operating systems but it took the learning from iOS to shape it into a consumer-friendly product. Even when you see a moonshot work, you realize that a lot of learning had to have taken place. It’s like the story of an overnight success that took a lifetime of perseverance.
- It could be said that the space and nuclear weapons programs during the Cold War were the original “moonshots” and they succeeded. But although successful in their goals, those goals were not commercial value creation and we are left with little to show for it. See also Concorde. [↩]

Remember carbon copies and rotary phones? In the blink of an eye, technology has catapulted small businesses from analog havens to digital powerhouses. Let’s rewind and explore this fascinating evolution, along with its impactful consequences.
Early Days: Efficiency on Demand
The 20th century saw typewriters, calculators, and rudimentary accounting software streamline operations. These innovations saved time, reduced errors, and helped small businesses compete with larger rivals. The fax machine, a communication hero, connected businesses across borders, fostering new partnerships and expanding reach.
The Digital Revolution: A World Wide Web of Opportunity
The internet’s arrival in the 90s was a game-changer. Websites became digital storefronts, email replaced fax, and online marketing opened doors to new customers. E-commerce platforms like Shopify empowered even the smallest shops to sell globally. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter offered free marketing channels, building communities and fostering brand loyalty.
The Cloud: Scaling Up Without Breaking the Bank
The cloud revolutionized everything. Storage, software, and even entire operating systems became accessible on-demand, eliminating upfront costs and complex IT infrastructure. Small businesses could now access powerful tools previously exclusive to large corporations, like customer relationship management (CRM) software and data analytics.
The Age of AI and Automation:
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are shaping the future. Chatbots answer customer queries, AI-powered marketing personalizes campaigns, and automated processes streamline workflows. These advancements free up valuable time and resources for entrepreneurs to focus on innovation and growth.
Impact: A Double-Edged Sword
Technology’s impact is undeniable. It empowers businesses, creates jobs, and fosters innovation. However, challenges remain. The ever-changing landscape can be overwhelming, and the cost of implementing new technologies can be a barrier for some. Additionally, cybersecurity threats and the potential for job displacement due to automation are concerns that need to be addressed.
The Future: Adapting and Thriving
Small businesses must embrace lifelong learning and adapt to stay ahead of the curve. Investing in the right technology, upskilling employees, and prioritizing cybersecurity are crucial for success. By harnessing technology’s power responsibly, small businesses can continue to be the backbone of the economy, driving innovation and enriching communities for generations to come.
So, what’s next in the saga of tech and small businesses? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the team of experienced consultants at Crescent are experts in business systems and accounting. Give them a call today for a consultation and learn how to work smarter, not harder with technology that will pay for itself very quickly!

Alliance combines AI4SP’s millions of data points on grassroots Generative AI usage with Surveil’s technology optimization insights to chart and guide global economic and societal impact.
SEATTLE, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — AI4SP (Seattle), the leading provider of insights charting Generative AI adoption, and Surveil (London), the leading SaaS platform to optimize cloud and productivity software investments, today announced a global alliance to guide organizations in harnessing the economic and societal impact of Generative AI, from grassroots adoption to enterprise transformation.
“The AI revolution isn’t happening in boardrooms – 90% of AI innovation comes from small organizations, and 65% of global AI adoption is driven by individuals using AI without corporate guidance,” said Luis Salazar, CEO and founder of AI4SP. “Generative AI adoption is a grassroots movement reshaping society, and traditional top-down analysis misses this reality. Combining our insights on global AI adoption and skills gaps with Surveil’s cloud and productivity software usage data, we’re creating the world’s most comprehensive view to guide organizations toward responsible AI transformation.”
Neil May, CEO of Surveil, highlighted the practical implications: “Two of every three organizations claim not having enough budget to enhance their cybersecurity or to deploy AI. Informed by millions of insights, our SaaS platform helps them identify inefficiencies in their Azure, AWS, GCP, and M365 implementations, including Microsoft Copilot, that free up to 40% of their budgets on average for these important strategic investments.”
The alliance’s combined dataset reveals critical insights about AI’s current state and potential:
- While 55% of organizations use AI today, only 11% have moved beyond early experimentation to deep, systematic use.
- AI adoption is reshaping work globally: from small businesses to enterprises, from PC users to 3 billion frontline workers with mobile devices.
- Teams spend 80% of their time on tasks where AI delivers 3x to 10x ROI, yet 90% of executives struggle to identify these practical use cases.
“We help leaders to go from a billion data points to one insight that matters,” said Luis Salazar. “The gap isn’t in AI’s potential – it’s in providing comprehensive guidance that turns widespread adoption into responsible transformation.”
- AI4SP’s research, interactive tools, and expert guidance help organizations chart their AI journey through market insights, personalized adoption roadmaps, and hands-on transformation workshops.
- Surveil’s enhanced analytics help organizations align technology spending with actual usage patterns and identify opportunities for strategic investment.
AI4SP is the leading provider of insights charting the Generative AI revolution through analysis of millions of data points from hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations
Surveil’s SaaS platform helps organizations optimize cloud and productivity software investments, analyzing billions of dollars in annual technology spending across hundreds of thousands of organizations.

So, next week, once again, I’ll leave my country and travel to US for a week of meetings with a number companies in Silicon Valley. It will be some sort of “tour the force” but I’ll have the chance to talk with a lot of interesting people and hear about vision, strategies, ideas and products straight from the horse’s mouth!
Many of these companies are startups and they still don’t have a full-fledged presence in Europe, while others are well known brands and it will be very interesting to know how their vision and business is evolving.
Hereby you’ll find a complete list of the companies that I will visit:
A10 Networks – A small startup born in 2004, their mission is to provide innovative high performance networking and security solutions.
Arkeia – They produce backup solutions since 1996. In the past they were very focused on Linux but now they support more than 150 platforms.
Coraid – I wrote a story about them some weeks ago. Coraid makes interesting ethernet storage systems based on the AoE protocol.
i365 – This company, owned by Seagate, produces cloud based storage systems for SMB environments.
Librato – Librato develops software solutions to maximize the utilization of hardware and software assets in clouds and data centers.
Quantum – This is the biggest company I’m going to visit next week and It’s the most famous of the bunch. This company is living a big change in its life: from tape libraries manufacturer to a most comprehensive data protection/archiving solutions provider.
Solix – Solix Technologies is a provider of information lifecycle management and application testing solutions.
StorSimple – Produces a series of application-optimized cloud storage appliacnes for Microsoft Server applications (and now VMware).
zScaler – A security multi-tentant SaaS provider.
Are you curious to know more? Stay tuned!

A 2017 survey found no clear consensus among economists on whether or not AI would enhance long-term unemployment. According to the World Economic Forum’s “The Future of Jobs Report 2020”, AI is predicted to replace 85 million jobs worldwide, and create ninety seven million new jobs by 2025. From 1990 to 2007, a examine in the U.S by MIT economist Daron Acemoglu showed that an addition of 1 robot for every 1,000 employees decreased the employment-to-population ratio by zero.2%, or about 3.3 employees, and lowered wages by 0.42%.

Modern research has turned to analyze the web’s downsides, including disinformation, polarization, hate speech, and propaganda.

Many discoveries also arose from pure likelihood, like the discovery of penicillin because of unintentional lab contamination. Since the 1960s, the assumption that government funding of primary analysis would result in the invention of marketable technologies has lost credibility. Probabilist Nassim Taleb argues that national analysis applications that implement the notions of serendipity and convexity by way of frequent trial and error usually have a tendency to result in useful improvements than research that aims to reach specific outcomes. Other fields of ethics have needed to deal with technology-related points, together with army ethics, media ethics, and academic ethics. It didn’t take long to discover that wheeled wagons could be used to hold heavy hundreds.
It has already been observed that technology includes the appliance of purpose to strategies, and in the twentieth century it came to be thought to be almost axiomatic that technology is a rational activity stemming from the traditions of contemporary science. Nevertheless, it ought to be noticed that technology, within the sense by which the term is being used here, is way older than science, and likewise that techniques have tended to ossify over centuries of practice or to turn out to be diverted into such para-rational workout routines as alchemy. The fashionable philosophy of progress cannot be learn again into the historical past of technology; for most of its lengthy existence technology has been nearly stagnant, mysterious, and even irrational. |

ANT4600 Accessing Health? Design, Inequality and the Politics of Place
4 Advanced Liberal Arts Credits
Health outcomes vary widely across the globe: there is a gap of more than 30 years in the life expectancies of the longest-lived and shortest-lived countries. Yet decades' and in some cases centuries' worth of projects to improve health outcomes have faltered. Why, amidst a plethora of potential solutions, do poor health and health inequality persist?
This course investigates the relationship between human health, the places where we live, and the management of health through design and planning. Illness is both a justification for the exercise of power and a consequence of the inequalities that power leaves in its wake. This creates an apparent paradox where expert technologies of biomedicine and planning seem to offer the promise of better lives but also re-inscribe illness in already unhealthy populations. We will examine the fragmented conceptions of the body, community, health, and place that both make these efforts possible and make them unlikely to succeed in achieving health equality.
The course explores the interaction between public health and planning norms and the everyday lives of people on the margin of these projects. We will pay particular attention to questions regarding how race, gender, and disability shape both health and experiences of place in the global South and North. After an overview of the humanistic social sciences' approaches to the relationship between health and place in weeks 1-2, the readings in the first half of the course are organized around top-down projects to create healthier populations and the everyday strategies of resistance that people who find themselves caught up in these projects employ. The readings in the second half of the course explore people's bottom-up efforts to forge a different relationship between place and health, with particular attention to the politics of design.
In this course, students will complete a two-part research project that explores how differently situated social groups seek to change places and their people in pursuit of health. In part one, you will draw on theories explored in this course to examine a "top-down" approach to the production of health. For instance, you might look at a particular city's urban planning policies, the work of a transnational NGO, the management of a forest, or an anti-Zika campaign. In part two, you will explore a "bottom-up" approach to health by documenting people's every day and grassroots practices for keeping or making themselves healthy. This could include but is not limited to guerrilla urbanism, disability activism, techniques of visibility/invisibility as everyday resistance, Black place-making, or food justice. You are not required to locate both parts of the project in the same place, nor are you required to organize both parts of the project around the same health problem. This project is an opportunity for you to explore a topic in which you are genuinely interested-so please let me know if you are feeling like you need some encouragement to choose the "riskier" option.

The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed. - William Gibson
I recently interviewed Danella Yaptinchay for our series on Philippine Sales Leaders. Danella is head of Sales and Marketing at Bridge Southeast Asia, a leading provider of business technologies for Philippine companies.
I got to work Danella when we ran a course on entrepreneurship at the University of Asia and the Pacific a few years ago. It was the first attempt at running a Lean LaunchPad in the Philippines. Lean LaunchPad is the ground-breaking hands-on entrepreneurial program from the renowned author, entrepreneur and Stanford educator Steve Blank.
It turns out this involvement with the cutting edge is something habitual for Danella. There are many co-working spaces now, but a few years ago, you only had co.lab—which Danella co-founded—and a few others. In her new role at Bridge, she works with a team whose sales tech stack would not be out of place in a Silicon Valley startup.
Let me share some things I learned from Danella—both the innovative practices and the timeless sales principles she follows.
Content Marketing
Content Marketing has been one of the biggest buzzwords in online marketing for the past few years. At its root, though, it is as classical as any sales technique. Content marketing is about giving first before asking. It is about educating and earning trust first before closing.
Despite its simplicity, I have seen very few Philippine companies with an impressive execution of content marketing. Creating content requires deep knowledge of your audience, skill in content creation, and plain hard work. Distribution of content requires an understanding of the online platforms your audience reside in. It requires testing, measurement and iteration.
To me, only one Philippine company that comes to mind when it comes to content marketing: Full Suite, a provider of business services. They created content valuable for their target market—business owners—and had systematic content distribution and clear entrances to their sales funnel. Danella was and is their Managing Director. She shared that they worked with Spiralytics, one of the top digital agencies based in the Philippines but operating worldwide.
I have a couple of take-aways from this: 1) All seemingly new sales and marketing tactics are rooted in classic principles, rooted in human nature. 2) Paving a new path always has its rewards and risks. Like Danella, you would want to have a great team working with you.
Modern Prospecting
I have talked to hundreds of sales teams in the past few years. I'm from a generation that grew up with the web, so I'm always surprised how some B2B sales teams still brave the traffic of Metro Manila, and do cold door-to-door prospecting.
I have met Danella's sales team through The Science of Sales Philippines. They take full advantage of modern prospecting, mostly through Linkedin. Like most complex B2B selling in the Philippines, they still need to go to the field and build relationships face-to-face. However, they have greatly reduced the grind of reaching the right prospects and breaking that initial ice, using modern prospecting tools.
Sales Recruitment for a Generation Reared with American Idol
In the Philippines, and in many other countries, you still see the old churn-and-burn sales recruitment approach. Get a volume of applicants, throw them in the sales pit or the field, and just wait and see who sinks and who swims.
This is why I made a little fist-pump when I saw the first sales recruitment campaign clearly designed for the generation that grew up with Pilipinas Got Talent, The Ultimate Fighter, and The Voice. The poster appeared both in my Linkedin and Facebook streams. It was a well designed invitation to a sales bootcamp. It was obvious that the program would attract ambitious young people who want to master their craft. The bootcamp was also a clever entry point to a recruitment funnel. It is a beautiful win-win strategy: the participants get hands-on sales training, including those who will not convert into a recruit, and the company gets a self-selecting group that wants to take on challenges and continuously hone their skills.
Guess who was on that poster? Yep, Danella again, living in the future.

This is why I made a little fist-pump when I saw the first sales recruitment campaign clearly designed for the generation that grew up with Pilipinas Got Talent, The Ultimate Fighter, and The Voice. The poster appeared both in my Linkedin and Facebook streams. It was a well designed invitation to a sales bootcamp. It was obvious that the program would attract ambitious young people who want to master their craft. The bootcamp was also a clever entry point to a recruitment funnel. It is a beautiful win-win strategy: the participants get hands-on sales training, including those who will not convert into a recruit, and the company gets a self-selecting group that wants to take on challenges and continuously hone their skills.
Guess who was on that poster? Yep, Danella again, living in the future. |

On 28 March Matteo Lepore, Mayor of Bologna, and Massimo Bugani, councillor for the digital agenda and civic use of data, announced the City’s digital innovation plan 2022-2024.
“We will start with a pilot project for the city: at the center is the virtuous citizen, the one who, for example, separates waste well or does not waste energy, or uses public transport and does not take fines, or is still active with the Bologna Welcome Card. The Municipality says to these people ‘we will assign you a score’, as part of a circular reward with economic benefits to individual users.”
Expose– Social credit scores are already in use in various places around the world, but nowhere more than in the communist hell hole that is China. The dystopian measurement acts similarly to a traditional credit score, however, as the name indicates, one’s score has little to do with their financial prospects or ability to pay off debt on time – social scores are all about your level of compliance to the regime and acceptance of the approved narrative. Where this dystopian coercion tool is used in an authoritarian dictatorship, like China, there is no such thing as individual rights or free speech.
Governments across the western world are exploring using this tool, especially in the wake of the Covid “pandemic,” which proved that governments can obtain almost limitless power in a crisis and set the stage for the next phase of the World Economic Forum’s plan – “you will own nothing and be happy.”
Italy will be the first in the EU, and the West, to implement a government-sponsored social credit system with the rollout of its new rewards-based program that aims to modify people’s climate change behaviour by assigning a score based on their compliance.
The program will kick off its pilot starting in the autumn of 2022 in Bologna. Citizens who comply with the radical climate change agenda by displaying “good behaviour,” such as correctly recycling or using public transportation, will be rewarded with cryptocurrency and discounts to local retailers, according to local newspaper Bologna Today.
Enrolees will be given a “smart citizen wallet” where their rewards can be accessed. The higher one’s score, correlating with good behavioural changes, will allow them access to more benefits.
At first, enrolment into the social credit score will be optional, however, there are justified concerns that the program will become mandatory in the future, not unlike the dystopian vaccine passport which has become a staple of everyday life in the EU.
MEPs warned these control measures were in the pipeline last year. In a third press conference – which took place on 24 November 2021 in the European Parliament in Strasbourg – four MEPs explained why the Green Certificate is violating peoples’ fundamental rights as well as other related topics. During this press conference Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes said:
“Clearly, we are witnessing right now the Chinafication of Europe. Because we see what is happening in China right now with the social credit score – where the government is monitoring and surveilling all the people from the beginning to end. Everything that they do, everything everywhere where they walk, it’s everything, you know – they control everything and they watch everything. This is an example of tyranny.
“When the government knows everything about you – where you go, what you did while you were there, where you enter – that’s the tyrannical system. And we’ve seen this system being implemented, right now, under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, slowly but surely, in the European Union.
“The green certificate was just the first step. There are a few more proposals right now under debate in the parliament: the European wallet ID, for example, the European social security card. All these things are creating a system that will monitor control, supervise and condition the rights of all the European citizens.”

Achieving Sustainability: A Call to Redefine Our Global Economic Model.
We will not resolve our sustainability problems with the same economic thinking that has created them.
After 10 years working in the corporate sector as a senior management and expert consultant, I have lost complete faith in the current economic paradigm’s ability to resolve the sustainability crisis it has caused.
Here are some of the reasons:
1- Improving social and environmental conditions is expensive, it generally means an increase in cost and a loss of profitability. It can be done on niche markets but not at the needed scale.
2- Exploitation is incentivized, regeneration isn’t. Eg: a dead fish on the market has market value, not a live fish in the ocean. So people are incentivized to exploit natural resources, not to let them regenerate. It logically ends up with planetary overshoot and a global-scale tragedy of the commons — what is happening today.
3- All economic actors are in competition for short-term profits, unlimited accumulation of capital, and growth. The most competitive actors are generally those who come with a high social and environmental footprint. Competition dominates, and collaboration is marginalized.
4- Profits/ money over everything: ultimately, the market economy only selects profitable solutions. Yet what we should do, such as stopping single-use plastics and overall reduction of consumption and waste is not profitable. Hence it is not done.
5- A thriving society is bad for the economy. A contented population is bad for consumerism. A healthy population is bad for the pharma industry. World peace is bad for the military-industrial complex. No financial debt is bad for banking etc. Decisively resolving our real-world problems would be catastrophic for GDP and the current economy.
Etc. etc.
I am not saying that we should not use the current economic models to design solutions, or that we should have a state-controlled communist dictatorship.
My point is that if we are serious about achieving a regenerative transition, we need to give time and space to consider, develop, and support new economic paradigms that are thought to respond to the great challenge of our times, such as:
- Degrowth Economy: abandoned GDP growth and focus on key social, ecological, and economic metrics.
- Well-being Economy: an economy designed to serve people and the planet, not the other way around.
- Doughnut Economy: an economy designed to respect social and ecological boundaries.
- Regenerative Economy: moving away from extractive business models and unlocking the potential for positive contributions to nature and society.
Embarking on this journey provides us with a chance to reassess our values and priorities, breaking free from the obsolete norms of our prevailing consumerist model. It’s a reconnection with our creative power, enabling us to redesign systems crafted for the challenges of a bygone era. This conscious transformation of our society is pivotal for unlocking new potential for the human species.
Let’s keep learning and acting together toward the future our hearts know is possible.
P.S: That message was posted on a large WhatsApp “sustainable business” group. It was deleted and it got me expelled from the group. By luck, I was able to save it. I believe it would be a pity to see it go to waste. |

Two young Ghanaian innovators impress Education Minister with ingenious inventions
On October 1, 2024, two young Ghanaian innovators showcased their remarkable talents, leaving a lasting impression on those who witnessed their ingenuity.
These young students, one from Agyakwa and the other from Accra Technical Training Centre (ATTC), have demonstrated the incredible potential of Ghana’s future innovators.
The first, a talented Class 5 student from Agyakwa, caught attention on social media for his creation of a fully automated excavator powered by a hydraulic system—all made in Ghana.
Eager to meet this young inventor, the Education Minister Dr Osei Yaw Adutwum recognized the importance of nurturing his talent.
With the recent approval of the Gifted and Talented programme by Cabinet, there is now a clear pathway to provide support and resources to promising students like him.
The boy’s mother, who was present during the meeting, expressed her dedication to supporting her son's journey, reinforcing the critical role parents play in fostering innovation in their children.
The second standout student, hailing from ATTC, showcased his own impressive creation: a water pollutant collector designed to clean Ghana's water bodies.
This invention, the Minister said comes at a crucial time as the country intensifies efforts to address environmental sustainability challenges.
With Ghana’s increasing focus on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, students are being equipped with hands-on skills to tackle real-world problems, he concluded.

Eddie Cue on Apple's year of original content
Eddy Cue, in a rare personally-signed post to Apple Newsroom (“Thoughts on Services”?):
2022 was a groundbreaking year for entertainment. At some point over the past year, you probably discovered a new app, a new song, a new TV show or movie, or game. An experience that made you laugh, taught you something new, or helped you see the world in a new way — and moved you to share it with others.
At Apple, we have the privilege of partnering with creators of all kinds, while building products and services that enable even more creativity. Our mission has always been to enrich people’s lives and to leave the world better than we found it, and we know that takes more than technical skill. It requires leading with our values in everything we do. We believe that our products and services should be made for everyone. We believe that privacy is a fundamental human right, and that our highest obligation to our customers is security. We believe that a culture where everybody belongs can drive innovation, and that we must stand up for the change we want to see in the world.
When we started Apple TV+ a few years ago, we did so to tell stories that reflect our broader humanity. And whether it was CODA winning the Oscar for Best Picture or Ted Lasso winning back-to-back Emmys for Best Comedy, we have seen, in so many ways, the validation of this kind of storytelling and the strong desire for more of it. |

441. From CEO of ASX-listed company to Bus Driver with Nic Jones
01:00:20|In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Nic Jones, a former executive who made the bold decision to step away from a high-powered career in media to drive buses.Jones, whose past roles spanned influential positions at Moshcam, Pureprofile, Nine, Yahoo, News Corp, Publisis, and Vevo, shares the experiences and reflections that led him to question the corporate world’s relentless pursuit of more.Together, we unpack the value of living in alignment with one’s true nature versus society’s definition of success, inspired by a famous Seneca quote: "Live according to nature and never be poor; live according to opinion and never be rich."Key Discussion Points:Background and Big Decisions: We explore Nic’s previous life, filled with executive roles and startup ventures, including his time as CEO of Pureprofile and his contributions to projects like Vera, a platform supporting people with dementia. Nic reflects on what happened with some of these companies and what ultimately influenced his choice to take a step back.Pursuing Purpose Over Prestige: Why does society prize "chasing more" even if it costs us our happiness? Nic reflects on how this constant drive often leads to personal sacrifices and explores why he chose to reject that path in favor of simpler living.Identity & Letting Go of the “Golden Handcuffs”: How did Nic break free from the identity and financial security associated with his high-level roles? He discusses the challenges of leaving a successful career, the concept of “golden handcuffs,” and how he managed the financial and personal implications of this shift.Privilege and Perception: Nic addresses the perspective that leaving a well-paying job is a choice only available to a few. He openly talks about privilege and explains why, for him, this was not an impulsive decision but rather one carefully navigated.The Role of Social Circles & Intellectual Stimulation: How has Nic’s social life changed since transitioning to a new career? Nic shares how this choice impacted his relationships with friends, especially those in professional circles.Reflections on Happiness and Meaning in the Age of Screens: Nic reflects on the crisis of meaning and community in a world dominated by screens, discussing how bus driving and working with people daily bring him a new sense of observable meaning.Relationship with Money: Has Nic’s relationship with money changed since he walked away from his high-income job? We examine the evolution of his financial values, including the notion of "enough," and how that influences his current approach to life.Show NotesConnect with Nic on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nic99jones/Connect with SteveFollow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/steveglaveski Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram/thesteveglaveski Subscribe to my newsletter: https://futuresquared.xyzFuture Squared YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@futuresquaredpodListen to Future Squared on Spotify & Apple Podcasts440. How to Apply Lean Startup at Large Organizations with Lean Startup Co CEO, Ben Hafele
54:25|Introduction:In this episode, we dive into the world of Lean Startup, 13 years on from its inception, and explore the challenges and nuances of applying it within large corporations.While Lean Startup principles are widely taught, executing them in established corporate environments often leads to failure. Our guest, Ben Hafele from Lean Startup Corp, shares his firsthand insights on why this happens and how leaders can overcome these challenges to foster innovation within their organizations.Key Topics Covered:A quick recap of the Lean Startup methodology, focusing on rapid experimentation, validated learning, and customer feedback loops. Why is it still relevant today, and how does it differ from traditional corporate processes?Teaching the Lean Startup approach is one thing, but applying it in a corporate setting is an entirely different challenge. Why does it often fail in large organizations, and what can leaders do to make it successful?Process blockers: How existing systems and bureaucratic hurdles slow down the Lean process.People blockers and cultural dynamics: Exploring the resistance to change, risk aversion, and the "not a startup" mindset common in corporate environments.Navigating stakeholder interests: In large organizations, aligning various stakeholders with differing priorities can be a significant hurdle. Ben shares tips for getting everyone on board.Lean Startup is at risk when it doesn't produce immediate wins or when a key sponsor exits (e.g., the shift in focus at GE after Jeff Immelt's departure). How can organizations safeguard against this?Lean Startup's emphasis on rapid experimentation often clashes with the slow-moving approval processes in big companies. How can corporations adapt, and what structural changes are necessary to allow for cross-functional, agile teams?Ben discusses how breaking down silos and empowering cross-functional teams is essential for Lean Startup success, and why the phrase "we’re not a startup" needs to be reframed to align with corporate goals like cutting costs, improving NPS, and avoiding past failures.Large corporations are often risk-averse and bound by strict governance. How can Lean Startup models align with these realities, and how do organizations deal with basic barriers like permission to use the right tools?Enterprises are used to long-term planning and predictable outcomes. How can leaders balance these with Lean Startup's iterative, experiment-driven approach without losing sight of core business goals?Ben explores how the VC-inspired approach of staged funding, lots of small bets, and measuring innovation metrics instead of pure ROI can drive corporate innovation.Corporate cultures aren’t always built for the speed and ownership required by Lean Startup. Slow decision-making and the need for consensus can stifle progress. What cultural shifts are necessary to make this work?Corporate inertia and resistance to change are notorious in large organizations. How can Lean Startup help break through these barriers to create meaningful, lasting innovation?Ben discusses the pros and cons of externalizing innovation through Lean Startup teams, innovation outposts, or whether it’s better to invest in startups directly through corporate venture capital (CVC).Show Notes:Ben on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hafeleLean Startup Co: https://leanstartup.coLean AI Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1M9pu1POlen6tXqJCqt_Y-YVBAtygiRp439.

02:06:10|Steve Hughes is an internationally renowned stand up comedian who tells it like it is, refusing to shy away from the confonting and what is often interpreted as controversial. Steve is incredibly observant, bringing with him worldly insights into the bleeding obvious and comes armed with what he says is more issues than an Occupy movement.Steve spent the first half of his career as a heavy metal drummer for bands such as Mortal Sin before burning up the international comedy circuit, which he has been doing for more than 12 years now, having toured throughout Europe, Australia, USA, Canada & New Zealand to rave reviews and mutinous laughter.However, don’t be fooled, this conversation goes way beyond the realm of just comedy and heavy metal and we spend the majority of the two hours exploring topics such as political correctness and identity politics, Steve’s battle with depression, free will, the suppression of freedom of speech, preference falsification, feminism, disidentification with ego, leaning into adversity and bombing onstage, the state of the music industry, drugs, technology addiction, participation trophies and much much more.A word of warning, this podcast is not safe for work, and is not for the faint at heart.With that, let’s kick off my two hour deep dive with the inimitable Steve Hughes.Note: This podcast episode is NSFW.Topics Discussed:Political correctnessIdentity politicsSteve’s battle with depressionFree willThe suppression of freedom of speechPreference falsificationDisidentification with egoLeaning into adversityBombing on stageThe state of the music industryAustralia’s tall poppy syndromeBeware of people bearing absolutesLegislating feelingsWhy the crowd is your barometerLeading with your heartBuddhism and non-dualismDrugsTaking ownership and victim mentalitiesWhy being offended is a choiceLiving with Jim JefferiesTechnology addictionParticipation trophiesColonial regulations and Conservatism in AustraliaSteve’s views on general practitionersSteve’s early days on the metal sceneSteve’s early days on the comedy circuitShow Notes:Steve’s website: www.SteveHughes.net.au438.

01:01:30|Jason Fried thinks deeply about collaboration, productivity and the nature of work. He's the co-founder of project management platform Basecamp. Founded in 1999, Basecamp has been recognised by Forbes as one of America’s best small businesses. His 2010 TED talk on ‘Why Work Doesn’t Happen At Work’ has been viewed over 5 million times.He’s also the co-author of Rework, which is about new ways to conceptualize working and creating, as well as the brand new ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work’, in which he rejects the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today. The Economist called the book funny, well-written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year.As somebody who shares many of Jason’s philosophies on work, I really enjoyed this conversation. Organisations are projected to invest US$2T into digital transformation by 2022 to make them more efficient, but they could reap what I would argue are vastly greater rewards, not only in terms of productivity but in terms of employee wellness, if they just changed the way they work today.Jason and I unpacked many lessons on productivity from his book, including:Why is everybody ‘so, so busy’?Why more people doesn’t mean faster or better outcomes; andA handful of simple changes that you can make today to radically increase your productivity and enjoyment of work and lifeTopics Discussed:Why being busy has become a badge of honourThe dangers of not getting enough sleepThe peril of managers and meetingsBrook’s LawWhy 80 hour work weeks aren’t spent actually workingFacilitating outcomes with a remotely distributed teamJason’s notion of a ‘calm company’Why Basecamp has rejected hundreds of offers from venture capitalists and investorsWhy raising capital shouldn’t be conflated with success for startupsSetting realistic deadlinesSo-called perks that are designed to keep people in the officeHow to defend your timeCommitment, not consensusUsing work as an excuse not to liveOvercollaboration in the workplaceOutsourcing accountability and blameHow to say noJason’s rituals and routinesShow Notes:Basecamp.com (project and team communications software)Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/Doesnt-Have-Be-Crazy-Work/dp/0062874780Twitter: @jasonfriedMedium: @jasonfriedJason’s TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried_why_work_doesn_t_happen_at_work?language=en---Employee to Entrepreneur podcast on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/employeetoentrepreneurpodcast Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski |

Uncrossing the Wires: Technology Discussion at UMKC
Trinity founder Jim Lammers is a graduate of UMKC’s school of engineering, and was asked to participate in a roundtable discussion of technology for UMKC’s “Perspectives” magazine for an article titled “Uncrossing the Wires” which can be viewed on the UMKC web site and is reproduced below for convenience.
The experts:
Mark O’Renick (B.B.A ’84)
Principal in marketing services agency Salva-O’Renick and business accelerator, Ingenology.
Nicole Emanuel (Arts and Sciences )
Award-winning painter and community artist, she works in public schools and has a nonprofit (InterUrban ArtHouse) that helps organize affordable space for artists.
Jim Lammers (B.S.E.E. ’87)
Founder and owner of Trinity Animation, a 3D animation and visualization studio that does work for the television series Archer.
Perspectives: How do you use technology in your career, and how important is it to you?
MARK O’RENICK (MO): In marketing business, tech has changed the way people gather information and learn about products and services. The way business is done gets easier, faster and less expensive. And there are more things we can do. 3D animation…I think is a great example of that.
NICOLE EMANUEL (NE): In the arts, connectivity is the most important part of it. I can work with people I am nowhere near and organize vast projects that involve large numbers of people. And I can invite the audience and set the whole thing up virtually. The important part is the face-to-face, and the part that’s on the ground and real. The other aspect is that I’m also a writer, and the availability of research information from my home is constantly surprising. I can do research into historical aspects that I could not have done, even if I knew what library it was in. And now I don’t have to travel.
JIM LAMMERS (JL): The whole thing we do is pretty pictures created with computers. The computers give us the efficiency to do it in a way that makes it a real good deal for our customers because we can revise it easily. Technology’s been at the core of it from the very beginning, and when the Internet started to become really common in the later ’90s, our business really took off because we were able to market worldwide.
How does the omnipresence of technology affect the three of you?
MO: There’s an interesting dichotomy that technology provides, in that it has brought us closer together, and yet in many ways we’re further apart in terms of interpersonal relationships. We’ve kind of lost the art of the long, slow dinner. We tend to communicate in 140 characters or by text. It’s not the most efficient way.
NE: To be in a room when someone is playing guitar or doing a sculpture or playing the violin and interacting with the kids, and physically experiencing that immediacy. I don’t think there’s a replacement for that visceral experience. One of the difficulties in the art world is the replacement of direct access to materials and your audience. This once-removed element when you’re working through technology and your work becomes digitized, there’s an element of sensual displacement. The senses are less directly involved.
JL: I agree. It’s important to remember the human factor. I wouldn’t say that technology within our firm and within our lifestyle has got any downside, but just like anything, every individual has to remember that they control it and not the other way around. I don’t take my cell phone into meetings, luncheons or anything. You have to make the important things come first and put the cell phone away.
MO: They’re laughing at me because I’ve got my cell phone out. I was just checking my email.
With that in mind, what piece of technology is most damaging to our attention spans? Most beneficial?
NE: Anything that breaks your ability to make eye contact. If you are looking down at a screen and not facing the person you’re with at a dinner table or in a meeting and constantly checking your boops and your beeps, there’s something lost in that. It can be anything technologically that keeps you from being in the moment.
JL: I totally agree. People need to learn that just because the phone’s ringing, it doesn’t need to be answered. Sometimes it’s smart to leave the phone in the car and come be part of the meeting or come be part of the interaction with other people. This is something that needs to be communicated more with the under-25 crowd. It’s kind of a joke. You’ll have a gathering of 20-somethings and none of them are looking at each other.
MO: Yeah, I think phones are the biggest because they’re so portable. My daughter’s 14 and we text. She won’t pick up the phone and answer, you know? It’s five texts to get done what I can get done in 30 seconds.
NE: It’s requiring us to completely rearrange our sense of discipline. What’s urgent, like this sensation in your pocket, is what’s important right there in front of you. The urgency message is something you have to have discipline to corral yourself away from.
JL: It shows a kind of disrespect in my view if you’re with someone and they would rather take a call. It’s like, “I’m here! I’m alive, across the table from you!’”
ME: Right. Weird new etiquette on these things, huh?
How does that on-demand mentality affect what you do professionally?
MO: There’s this expectation that we can track everything, and if we can track everything, we can deliver the perfect result. But humans aren’t predictable. Technology is never an end, in and of itself.
NE: I got distracted and forgot the question. Oh, shortened attention span. I’m more interested in being with people and watching them perceiving, understanding how things are made, working with materials, getting dirty, having conflicts and having them resolved.
JL: That’s an interesting point. We try to find ways to make it work for us. Businesswise, technology has taken us so much farther than we would be otherwise. The younger group will adapt and work it into their etiquette and their behavior in a way that works for them.
MO: Yeah, and I wouldn’t trade it for everything in the world. Technology has given us so much. It’s just the management of it that’s critical.
NE: Well, and never losing a sense of social responsibility that those tools give us. There will always be differences in resources, class and wealth. If we don’t use the technology to give more to people who don’t have it, I think that’s a misuse.
Are we better off now than we were 10 or 20 years ago? Are you excited for what comes next?
NE: How would you know if it’s better if you don’t know what the future is? But the promise for neuroscience and the ability to understand the use of technology to improve our physical existence is really exciting. Artistically, there are probably all kinds of things coming that we couldn’t even conceive of. Who would have known that we could have the 3D resolution that we have in animation? Animation is remarkable right now.
Does that threaten you as an artist or do you embrace not knowing what might come next?
JL: To me, it’s all wonderful and exciting. I agree that the current time is the best it’s ever been. Even in human terms for communication, the ability to reach out and connect with people who I would have otherwise lost touch with, I think the good outweighs the bad by far. It’s just a really wonderful time to live in.
MO: Right now, the kids growing up are natives. They’re going to do things with it that we couldn’t imagine because it’s just been ingrained in who they are.
NE: Our capacity to know what’s happening in every corner of the world is a little overwhelming, but at the same time you use your skillset to respond to that. Think globally, act locally. There’s nostalgia or a kickback from technology that people are getting much more interested in local food providers, artists and performers. There’s a little bit of loyalty for what’s around you. And the answer is no, not threatened. Excited, definitely. Just think about how many more people get seen or heard.
Is there a chance that the generation being brought up is better equipped to turn shortened attention spans into a positive?
NE: It’s changing our consciousness. Maybe what this is going to do is tap into ways of using our intelligence, consciousness, sentience and morality in bigger ways. It’s exploding the universe in a good way.
JL: In general, a shortened attention span is never a good thing. It’s nice that these people have really good multi-tasking abilities and they get a job where they have to answer the phone, answer emails and run around really fast and that’s a skill they’ve built. But all the good things require a good, long ability to focus on something hard and solve it. That’s usually the people who have the most important positions in our society.
As tech changes, is that going to determine who’s successful?
JL: It might be the great divide. Who can continue to have a good attention span and who is brought down by all their distractions? That’s always who wins— the person who can study, focus and become really good at something.
NE: But then that person also has to be able to communicate in the language of the population. They have to be able to translate from that long thought into pieces that the common denominator would be attracted to, like Facebook.
JL: We still have a heavy curriculum at UMKC that people have to be able to go home for four hours, turn everything off, study and get through it. I don’t think that’s going away.
MO: I think it comes back to something that was said earlier: Discipline— how we compartmentalize our time. The interesting thing about focus is that I think technology and the accessed information empowers that focus greater than it ever has. You can learn anything you want to learn. The tools are out there and you can learn it fairly quickly just by taking advantage of the tools and technology that’s available.
NE: I was thinking of the definition of time and how technology has changed the concept of time. If you know that a certain moment in the day is the best time to concentrate or is the best time to have all your interactive, distractive, interruptive time. Time is also completely accessible through computers. You can go all the way back through history and still be in a room with someone. Do you understand what I’m saying? It’s like time has suddenly blown out into this multi-level animal. Technology lets us dip in.
MO: Distractions have always been there. There was the water cooler, right?
NE: But time was more linear. Now it has many more dimensions. Because within one hour, what you can achieve by going into the past, crossing a geographic border, planning something ahead, putting that down, doing something you started earlier…your ability to go completely in and out of different timeframes is new.
MO: It’s evolving. Everything is evolutionary.
NE: Yes, and becoming more complex.
If I asked each of you to look forward, what does the future in your fields look like? Do they exist and in what form?
JL: If the type of animation we do right now becomes so straightforward that people aren’t willing to pay for it anymore, we would have to move on to something that’s hard enough that people need help doing it. We’re always watching that and moving onto the harder things and moving on from the things that have become too simple.
MO: We’re similar from a marketing perspective. What doesn’t change is storytelling from a marketing perspective, helping people understand their company, their product, their services and the connection of that to their customers. Customers are going to tell you more about that too with social media. The value for us will be helping people tell stories and how that gets delivered will continue to change and morph.
NE: I think that’s primal. Storytelling is innate to human beings. I don’t think we’re ever going to replace love and affection. I’m not going to stop cuddling my kids because the computer is more interesting. And I probably won’t stop painting, because I like the smell and the noise. I think advances in all the art forms are remarkable and wonderful, but I don’t think we’ll ever move away from our need to tell stories and connect and feel.
JL: I agree that there are certain human universals that will continue. As Nicole said, storytelling and visual design and the visceral act of painting and drawing and that sort of thing flows through all of us. But I think in terms of business and making a living, we only get paid to do things that are hard for other people to do.
Any final words?
NE: I don’t ever want to feel as though we abdicate our sense of responsibility, in particular our ability to sustain the planet. If we don’t use our technology to deal with our responsibility to other people and the environment, none of the access, the money or the resources mean anything.
MO: Beyond the technology, the two primordial fears that drive us all is the fear of not having enough and not being enough. If we don’t have the latest iPhone or whatever, it affects us. In order to get those things, you have to race to get more money. We are not rats, and life is not a race.
JL: I agree with the sentiment that you can’t allow technology to control you. You have to employ it where it helps you and push it out of your life where it doesn’t help you. For me, it’s been almost universally good in terms of connecting with more people in a more meaningful way. I like that human element and I think you have to bring that into it. We get to know more people in a human way, even though sometimes they’re very far from us. It’s nice to connect with people, whether they’re in Iran, Korea or Australia and discuss in very fast terms through email the things that are on their mind. You get to know people and you get to know the universal human condition in an important way, and that is that people often have the same emotions, thoughts and feelings. It’s been eye-opening for me, and I’ve enjoyed it as I’ve seen technology grow and seen interconnectedness become more intense. |

N2 - Digital simulation models have become increasingly important to innovation processes. When used within organisations intent on innovating products, processes or services, the affordances of these technologies can enable the possibility to explain, experiment, and predict complex systems. As complex tools, however, models must become integrated into a social context characterised by differences in technical knowledge about when, how, and why the models are useful. In this paper, we draw on our experiences studying the labour of digital modelling work over the past 10 years to discuss some of the important social mechanisms through which models come to be trusted by stakeholders, and, consequently, integrated into innovation processes. By comparing three very different contexts we show that the work of trust-building requires modellers to create appeals to the credibility of the model’s analysis, the utility of its outputs, and to negotiate unavoidable political issues that emerge from differing values among parties in the innovation process. Revealing this labour positions models as social objects, and leads us to provide practical recommendations for scholars and practitioners who hope to use modelling as a key process for digital innovation.

Office of Innovation Commercialization
The Office of Innovation Commercialization (OIC) was created in 2017 to promote an entrepreneurial culture on the New Mexico Tech (NMT) campus, focusing on commercializing technology created and developed at NMT. OIC receives invention disclosures from NMT faculty, staff, and students and evaluates these disclosures based on their commercial potential. We work closely with NMT faculty, staff, and student inventors to understand and assess the potential of their intellectual property to either license their innovations to industry partners or develop their IP into a startup venture.
Our mission is to foster entrepreneurship and innovation throughout the NMT campus via the university’s Science, Technology, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Mathematics (STE²M) initiative.

The Cloud Impact on Businesses
What is the most phenomenal technical advancement that has changed the business economics recently? Any guesses? Yes, it is nothing but the Cloud Impact.
The concept emerged in the last decade and in a short time, it appears in the headlines of all leading business and IT magazines today.
Giants like Gartner predict a worldwide year-on-year growth of 18% and the total business is expected to reach 250 Billion USD.
If you ask technical brains (CFOs and CIOs) of big organizations, then more than two-third of them says that Cloud will have the biggest impact on businesses in the whole world.
What makes it such a whooping success?
The biggest reason for its success is the ability to offer new and complex business models. Moreover, Cloud computing has orchestrated global integration networks in a quite a significant manner than most of the technical minds predicted.
As a result, it has been adopted much significantly by SMBs (Small and Medium Businesses) and mid-tier companies than expectations. In fact, the majority of the researchers are adjusting their forecasts upward.
The fundamental reason behind the popularity is its ability to uplift revenues. There are examples when
Efficiency improvement and cost reduction are phenomenal
If we compare to IT spending on Cloud computing, then it has grown as high as five percent in the past decade. Experts believe that it will increase further by 2020. Why are people spending so much money on it? They are spending because they see phenomenal benefits,
Reports say that by using Cloud environment, businesses improved time to market drastically. The improvement was more than 20 percent which is great by any performance standards. Also, it brings average 20 percent increase in the growth of the company and increases process efficiency also by 20%.
As far as cost reduction is concerned, then at least 15 to 20 percent drop in operational costs and overall IT expenditure has been reported due to the Cloud impact in organizations. Though not significant, at least 1 percent drop in IT maintenance cost was observed due to the cloud.
Three biggest impacts on your business
Technically speaking, Cloud computing is a type of Network Computing on a grand scale. It is a complex array of servers distributed across the Internet.
Since the interfaces run on browsers in local computers, it offers a seamless, real-time experience to the users. These local computers can be desktops, laptops, tablets or even mobile phones.
Typically, the software applications are installed and managed by third-party implementers. The applications are accessible from everywhere and anywhere, making the backend completely transparent to the users.
Due to its inherent capabilities, Cloud brings three incredible benefits to the business environment.
Cloud Impact 1 >> It makes communication faster
Cloud computing enhances business communication affordably. Since you seamlessly access every bit of information, adopting decentralized structure is quite easy.
Since there is a lot of Gung-Ho about decentralization, cloud service providers capitalize it by offering reliable and cost-effective solutions. You can communicate with team members spread across the globe in real-time.
As the cloud environment becomes further efficient and dependable, there is no risk of losing a single bit of data.
You can use the whole spectrum of platforms to connect to the cloud i.e. handheld devices, laptops, and desktops.
You can arrange high-resolution, multi-party video conference calls to connect to multiple team members across the globe. New cloud communication models incorporate a plethora of facilities and services to make it further useful.
With video and audio conferencing becoming the standard operating protocol in modern businesses, it is mandatory to make use of the cloud to achieve a higher degree of communication.
Cloud Impact 2 >> Easy data access is another virtue of Cloud model
Cloud offers better and enhanced business environment to clients, and easy access to data is one major business benefit.
Since you can access data, information, and software from any nuke and corner of the world, there is no need of carrying business specific applications on the laptop. Don’t carry the full suite of tailor-made software that is being used in your company.
You simply need an interface that can run the browser. The whole application setup becomes independent of the end-user machine.
It gives immense flexibility and easiness to professionals who need to travel across the business setup located in different geographies.
Moreover, it brings uniformity of operations in the whole organization.
Since all applications and software are on the cloud, there is no risk of losing the application software. Your password-protected data is accessible all across.
Cloud Impact 3 >> Collaborate securely
When you implement business software in the organization, upgrades are inevitable. Over the period, you need to install new features, add security patches, and fix the bugs as well.
Cloud makes these things easy in two ways.
Firstly, the responsibility of handling all these activities lies on the service provider. Since they are expert in the niche, you needn’t to worry about the technical support.
Secondly, it becomes possible to extend the training and technical knowledge to the whole team in one shot.
Each member of the crew becomes familiar with the changes in the networking parameters, updates in the operating system or installation of security patches.
Since collaboration is an integral part of your business, implementing cloud becomes all the more useful. Access files, data and other important information anywhere and anytime.
Changes made in the system become visible instantly all across. Physical and geographical limitations no longer exist. Cloud makes the business independent of the physical IT resources.
Cloud computing is virtually “server-less” computing, and its popularity makes operations easy. More and more businesses are adapting to this new-age method for enhancing business effectiveness. Since there is a lesser dependency on on-site infrastructure, it is indeed a profitable option.
With increasing cloud impact, we can assume that the coming era will be the ‘cloud era’. Those who are not on the cloud will move to it, and those who are already there will accept the significant changes happening in the cloud environment. |

Q. The book “Diffusion of Innovation” presents the concept of innovation and argues: (December 2022, UGC NET)
(A) 34% people have the ability to face risks.
(B) Innovation means a new idea, behaviour or an object.
(C) Will power to acquire innovation depends on one’s ability.
(D) 50% people have information through inter-personal communication
(E) 34% people are laggards
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below ;
1. A, C and D only
2. B, C and D only
3. B, D and E only
4. A, B and E onlyCorrect Ans: (2)
Explanation: Everett M. Rogers’ seminal work, “Diffusion of Innovation,” explores how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures. Rogers identifies innovation as a process wherein an idea, behavior, or object perceived as new is adopted by individuals within a social system. He classifies adopters into categories such as innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards, each with distinct characteristics. The book emphasizes that interpersonal communication plays a crucial role in the diffusion process, with individuals often relying on advice and insights from peers before adopting an innovation. The adoption process is also influenced by factors such as the innovation’s relative advantage, compatibility with existing values, complexity, trialability, and observability. Rogers’ insights have been widely applied across various fields, including marketing, public health, and technology diffusion, providing a framework for understanding how innovations spread and are adopted in society. |

Upscaling Controlled Environment Agriculture
CHAP has taken its engagement online to ensure we can continue to collaborate despite the Coronavirus crisis.
CHAP has taken its engagement online to ensure we can continue to collaborate despite the Coronavirus crisis.
The Innovation Team has been undertaking a period of stakeholder engagement within the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) sector and across relevant parties to deliver solutions that support the sector. The aim is to underpin collaborative innovation in ‘upscaling CEA’, understand critical emerging challenges for growers and technologists, and develop a business case for CHAP in this area.
This period of engagement culminated in our first stakeholder workshop, on the 28th April, which, due to the lockdown, was conducted virtually, rather than in person.
With reference to wide-ranging sectoral challenges, such as operational pressures, resource efficiency and developing varieties optimised for CEA, CHAPs innovation team and a broad and representative group of stakeholders worked together to fully understand the problem.
A number of key sector barriers, and a lack of cross-sector integration and enabling infrastructure, are currently preventing CEA from fulfilling its potential to supply the UK food system with diverse, sustainable and affordable food, with maximum carbon neutrality. It is hoped that the sessions with stakeholders will be able to profile options that CHAP could deliver collaboratively with the sector.
These developed options will be shortlisted, developed and appraised in the second workshop, and will form the basis for a business case for CHAP and the sector, to be developed over the coming months. |
