  • Behaviours of the post modern organisation

    I’ve had the luxury of some time to think while in lockdown and created this DanelDoodle. In it, I’m looking not only at the post modern but also post COVID-19 organisation. And by modern organisation I am referring to what I captured here: The modern organisation’s hierarchy of needs.

  • How to respond to global challenges mindfully and the 3 stakeholders in success

    The title of this post is hopefully not too oblique and its clear I’m referring in part, to the challenge of our time – COVID-19. And when I say mindfully, my principle context is the practice of meditation, where paying attention is key. By paying attention you become more aware. You become more concentrated and…

  • Corona as a catalyst for teamwork customer success and AI

    I wouldn’t be the first to jump on the Corona Virus bandwagon, if that’s what I was trying to. No, I’m simply observing the ways I see others doing so, with varying degrees of success, and for good and bad reasons. Mostly it’s a way to conflate the unintended impact it is having, or where…

  • Workplace collaboration has an outcomes challenge – get intentional to overcome it

    With the coronavirus, workplace collaboration is getting a big boost. Just check Zoom’s stock price in the last two months.

One of the key aspects of this trend was that decision making on the use of software in organisations was increasingly being taken by business users,…

  • Half life of information and necessary rate of learning

    I’ve just recently completed a series of certifications and learning modules for work. This is in addition to the training we have to do every year. It’s a lot of learning and pretty challenging alongside your day job.

  • Ways auto industry can transform with As a Service and employee experience

    The automotive industry is scrambling to transform itself in various areas: green (move to electric); smart (move to connected), etc. Much is being driven by nimble startups like Tesla, unencumbered by legacy concerns. This post focuses on two two areas that could further drive the turnaround and may be even more important because they are…

  • Microsoft Teams Live Events and the new channels of work

    I’ve just come off a week of successfully helping a customer run a Microsoft Teams Live Event for an annual event they run. The nature of the event they ran last week was to showcase innovation by the IT department to the rest of the organisation. This was the 5th such event being run in…

  • Startup lessons for the workplace

    I discovered this really awesome resource on the BBC – articles and exposes on work life. In it I came across this intriguing concept of Adaptability Quotient in an article: Is ‘AQ’ more important than intelligence?

  • Tech Intensity and the Adaptive Organisation

    Tech Intensity is not my phrase or concept, it comes from the CEO of the company I work for, Microsoft – Satya Nadella first wrote about it here earlier this year: The necessity of tech intensity in today’s digital world.

  • Thought Rocket: State of Enterprise Collaboration

    As the title of this post suggests, this is a very quick thought on the state of enterprise collaboration, mostly captured in the form of a DanelDoodle – the one above. Some added thoughts/considerations: In my view, each new phase supplements the last, not replaces and all products and forms of activity still exist and…
