  • SenseMaking from the Web

    This week’s list of curated articles has a blend of thoughts about the thinking process, i.e. metacognition. They cover both real and artificial processes, human and AI. I love this blend. As we adopt more and more technology, it’s inevitable we will have to think more about this. We have to come to terms with…

I experimented researching an aspect of the subject using AI and this post showcases the approach and result.

  • How to overcome the innovation predicament – the term versus the spirit

    I’ve observed before how everyone wants innovation but no one wants to innovate. The essence of that observation roughly 6 months ago was that although the talk of and need for innovation (from company executives) was high, interest in the topic wasn’t (from punters). Not much has changed since except the gap has probably grown.…

  • The Kool Aid Acid Test for Culture

    The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test was a book written by Tom Wolfe way back in the day. The Acid Tests were parties at which everyone takes LSD (which was often put into the Kool-Aid they served) to “abandon the realities of the mundane world in search of a state of [intersubjectivity]”. Wolfe presents a…

  • Startup innovation is alive and well in UK GOV

    I’m a fan of startup innovation having followed the practice and written about it extensively. This culminated in an eBook/trend report a few years back: Startup Innovation.

    I work in a field that frequently deals with changing the culture of work through managed change engagements. They are most often aligned to new technology adoption or digital transformation efforts. In all this work, the typical influencers present themselves: people, technology and process. I’m exploring the first two in this post and assuming people…

  • Of hopes and dreams in organisational transformation

    I work indirectly in the organisational transformation business. I help with the adoption of new technologies. This often drives a need for change. Ideally I see it being done because a group of forward thinking individuals have realised the need for change. Perhaps they see there are better ways of achieving outcomes than in the…

  • The customer’s success is crucial to yours and begins with mindset

    I’m surprised more organisations haven’t cottoned on. Focusing on making customers successful with the use of your products or services. Understanding that this success drives your success. Understanding the drivers of success and amplifying these. You’d think organisations would have armies focused on this. They talk about it enough. Think of product demo’s you have…
