  • Creativity jumps in top ten skills 2020

    At least according to this World Economic Forum report: The 10 skills you need to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Something to add to my new trend report – intro to that here: The post robotic AI age and the role of creativity and innovation #creativity #trends

  • The post robotic AI age and the role of creativity and innovation

    You’ve all heard the news. Jobs will come under fire if not already so. Machines, robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI), are going to take over. The Matrix, Terminator, could all those movie scenarios have had it right? What happens if it’s all true but the ending is not a tragic one. Can we find a…

  • The feature / function trap of enterprise technology adoption

    Features and functions are easy to obsess over. They are tangible. You can click a button and it does something. Or not, at least not what you expect. And you can obsess about why not and what it should be doing. I’ve been included in countless enterprise technology adoption programs and find this the most…

  • Lean startup methodology applied to successful enterprise technology adoption

    The Lean Startup isn’t just about how to create a more successful entrepreneurial business. It’s about what we can learn from those businesses to improve virtually everything we do. I imagine Lean Startup principles applied to government programs, to healthcare, and to solving the world’s great problems. It’s ultimately an answer to the question ‘How…

  • Creators win in digital age

    I discovered this new way of evaluating a company’s standing amongst competitors in this video over on HBR (and there is a follow-on link to a more detailed article worth reading): In the Digital Age, Physical Assets Are a Burden. It’s especially relevant to the digital age we are currently in. It places a premium…

  • After robots and AI – intellectual capitalism where creativity and imagination thrive

    I loved this video by Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist, futurist, and popularizer of science. Probably because it supports my hypotheses that creativity, imagination and innovation will be the high ground of organisational actualisation as work modernises. Check out my post on that here: The Modern Organisation’s Hierarchy of Needs. I also believe like he…

  • Digital Marketing Innovation Framework

    This post is in the Sense Making category for good reason. I’ve tried before to look at this space – check this LinkedIn post: Marketing Technology Solutions and the Digital Transformation Challenge. Unlike the article before, this attempt really has me stepping back and trying to form a view without too much influence from outside perspectives.…

  • Five paradoxes to navigate when trying to reinvent your business

    Often labelled change or transformation efforts (and there is some confusion about which is which: We Still Don’t Know the Difference Between Change and Transformation) there is little doubt organisation’s of all kind are under increasing pressure to keep pace with a rapidly shifting marketplace. I chose reinvention because it’s the more innovative and proactive…

  • “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” — Pablo Picasso

    Find and share your gift by working out loud #wolweek 2016

    This is the first day of this year`s Working Out Loud Week #wolweek and Simon Terry has recommended to reflect about PURPOSE. First I was contemplating about the term “purpose” and what it exactly means in German. Is it more about intention, a goal, aim, only a task or it more about a higher meaningful purposeful goal with…

  • Making sense of sensemaking

    I see sense making as a bit of an art but also believe there is a science to it. At least to doing it well. I also believe we will have to get better at it since it will be one of the key skills of the 21st century (check out this article on a…

  • Intrapreneur’s Playbook: Why dissent is good for your organisation and 10 ways to foment disruption

    I work in an organisation and industry where a key mantra of work and of the value we offer to customers is (improved) collaboration. Central to this is effective teamwork and working like a network. I believe in this wholeheartedly with every fibre in my body since I have been working in this space for…

  • The Modern Organisation’s Hierarchy of Needs

    NOTE: See bottom of page for updated version and notes. This doodle started out as a fun means of framing the way the world of work is moving within a very established framework – Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Each element in the hierarchy kind of speaks for itself. I added a few lines of elaboration for each…

  • How to communicate and get what you need from decision makers

    I learned of a technique in a training session given to Yammer Sales and Customer Success Management (CSM) staff in 2012. The technique adopts an approach for emailing someone, typically for the first time, that you are keen to get something from – essentially you would be cold calling them. We called the technique “the Hoff mail” after…
