A trillion dollar case for an under appreciated concept
Digital “things” are not built to last
The future is digital, no doubt about it. Artificial intelligence and machine learning in all its flavors, quantum computing, cryptocurrencies, robots and automation, IoT, the list goes on, all are firmly rooted in digital. It sure looks like an interesting future! Not without risks though. Data security, privacy, hackable toys, AGIs going rouge are some… Continue reading Digital “things” are not built to last
Me mocking silly vision and mission statements, part 2
This is the second part where I rate mission and vision statements of some of the world’s most successful corporations. For some earlier mocking, and for the rating criteria, please check out part 1 here. If you wonder why you should bother at all, please check out my article about the intrinsic value of vision… Continue reading Me mocking silly vision and mission statements, part 2
Me mocking silly vision and mission statements, part 1
So how are the big players doing? Do their vision and mission stand up for some scrutiny? They are all successful so they must have been innovative at least at some point in time. In some cases that is in spite of lacking both vision and mission. But there are some exceptions that really shine. I thought… Continue reading Me mocking silly vision and mission statements, part 1
Design Doing — Beyond the Hype
In an earlier article I brought up some issues that I have with Design Thinking, and presented my alternative, Design Doing. The name was chosen to poke fun at DT. The term is not new and I do not claim ownership in any way. But it has to have a name so Design Doing will have to… Continue reading Design Doing — Beyond the Hype
Redefining the Agency-Of-Record
There is an on and off debate about the future of the Agency-Of-Record model. The other day this article argued for firing the AOR and switch to a team of specialists instead. According to a recent survey by The CMO Club of 106 CMOs few are actually satisfied with the AOR model. The most common reasons is a lack… Continue reading Redefining the Agency-Of-Record
Design Doing – Design Thinking for the impatient!
It doesn’t matter how much I try, Design Thinking feels very backwards to me. I am not saying that it doesn’t work, I think creative people will be creative in almost any system, and maybe there are use cases where it would make sense. But as a whole it seems overly complex and time consuming,… Continue reading Design Doing – Design Thinking for the impatient!
Late with a delivery? Don’t blame the baker!
Time. It’s a bitch. It doesn’t care about what we want, it just moves forward, unstoppable. Deadline’s approaching but time doesn’t pause to let us catch up. Time is extremely valuable. What we do with our time decide our quality of life. It is not a small thing to think about. Using our time wisely… Continue reading Late with a delivery? Don’t blame the baker!
Forget the super smart AIs, it’s the stupid ones we should fear
I just saw part one of National Geographic’s series Year Million. The episode Homo Sapiens 2.0 is about AI and presents different scenarios for how a future could look like. They really try to be optimistic, but the alternatives they come up with are either super creepy or pure dystopia. The documentary is interesting, thought provoking,… Continue reading Forget the super smart AIs, it’s the stupid ones we should fear
Battery003: Where do great ideas come from?
Stating the obvious: some ideas are definitely worse than others. Like buying the Brooklyn Bridge or choosing plastic surgeon on price alone (no pics). And then there are the great ones, the wheel, the Negg, the abolition of slavery just to name a few. Also quite obvious: we want more of the good ones and less of… Continue reading Battery003: Where do great ideas come from?
