• A review of the new Microsoft Whiteboard

    Naturally I used Microsoft Whiteboard for the review itself. I then exported an image of it and that is what you see above. This is not so much a feature overview since you can find that all here: Welcome to the new Whiteboard! That was the announcement post from a few days ago. This is…


  • The ebb and flow of productivity at work

    I was thinking the other day about the times when I’m most productive at work. So much has been written about the subject and I work at a company and in a role where it’s one of the key functions of my job, i.e. to make people more productive through technology. There are a gazillion…


  • We Work Unbound – key concepts for a hybrid world

    Working at Yammer back in the day (2012 onwards), we were at the forefront of some cutting edge work practices that had been brewing a while.

  • Jobs of the future will be what robots cannot do

    The title of this post actually comes from a video I viewed on Big Think way back in 2016. It was a short video by renowned American physicist, Michio Kaku. I’ve just searched the site extensively to try and find it again but couldn’t. Good thing I downloaded a copy at the time and uploaded…


  • Innovation has never been more problematic or needed – 3 things you can do

    Everyone wants innovation, no one wants to innovate. It’s similar to change. Therein may lie the rub. They are such broad terms, they may have lost their significance.

  • Way of the minimalist for creative productivity

    The way of the minimalist is to “remove until it breaks”. As Henry David Thoreau once said, “Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify”. I subscribe to this philosophy 💯 although I don’t always live up to it. New research just out validates this view and especially when it comes to creative…

  • Signal for help – DanelDoodle for good

    I care deeply about the woman and children in my life and feel like I and all men need to make an extra effort for them. Of course some men are in the same position but to a far lesser degree – more often than not they are the perpetrators. Off the back of the…


  • It’s only a matter of time until she blows

    The Ever Given ship blocking things up on the Suez Canal has been such a funny affair that has captivated the world and given rise to numerous memes. Okay for some it’s not been so funny. Anyway, here is my take in a DanelDoodle.

In the attention economy we have proliferation of social media, questionable content, digital addiction, etc. Freedom of expression knows no bounds yet sensitivities are tested like never before.
