  • AI adoption and innovation in the enterprise

    This is my usual post curating some of the best articles I’ve read in the last month, just a slightly different guise. They all gravitate around areas I’m focused on at work. These days, they are seemingly what all work has become: adoption of AI technology at work and innovation, guided by the right change…

  • SenseMaking from the Web

    Common themes in this list of articles are change and technology adoption, mostly in the face of the advancing AI juggernaut and clearly interrelated. One conclusion I take is change or be changed. Resistance is futile in other words, adapt or die. But resistance to the wrong change is right of course. I think an…

  • Major forces shaping the future of work

    It’s mind blowing, the forces shaping how we work and will work in the future. They can be overwhelming or exhilarating, depending on your view, but you can’t ignore them. And they will be different depending on your viewpoint. These are mine. I met someone on LinkedIn. From an initial chat we progressed to a…

  • SenseMaking from the Web

    The common theme I’ve been picking up on recently and this post of curated articles focuses on mainly is around change management. Seems with all the hullabaloo around AI at work, it has become necessary, or at least fashionable again. Which stands to reason. I’ve been covering it to some degree under the technology adoption…

  • The inevitability of change and the delight of growth

    There are a couple of changes of which I speak that I am currently being confronted with. One by choice and the other foisted upon me. Both challenging but also absolutely welcome. That’s because of how I view change – it’s inevitability but also the opportunity it provides for growth. I be like, Death never…

  • Digital Transformation and the human wall of resistance

    This DanelDoodle is a play on an original Tom Gauld cartoon and I create it with the utmost respect for a master doodler and sense maker. His cartoon, which I cannot find on his site that I linked to, was around (social) revolution – part in brackets mine. Mine focuses on an area of work…

    3 simple tricks for driving change in your workplace, no matter your role Posted on October 7. The authors of ‘Hack Your Bureaucracy’ explain a central misunderstanding about getting things done: change happens just because the person in charge declares it should. In our experience, too many people think that the president—or your CEO, organization…

  • 21 essentials for the digital enterprise in 2021

  • Overcoming challenges in an innovation imperative world – 2nd edition

    Just a few weeks ago I highlighted how important innovation was and yet how disinterested everyone was in it: Innovation has never been more problematic or needed – 3 things you can do.

  • 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. But the problem goes beyond lack of interest, there is a lack of purpose or organisation/management, the pace of change, all and more contribute to this situation.…

  • The business of culture change in the tech industry

    I had interesting chats with customers and colleagues recently that I wanted to capture and share. The context was enterprise collaboration technology but I also wanted to expand a little on the increasing business of technology’s influence on culture more broadly and vice versa. It probably raised more questions than answers.

  • Necessity drives digital transformation but who are the innovators

    I’ve always said its so much better to be changing and transforming as a result of innovation based activities rather than crisis based activities. To be changing ahead of the curve because you are innovating, not after the curve because of a crisis – if you’ll excuse the expression.

  • 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?
