Digital connectivity

Futurologist Adjiedj Bakas wrote a book called ‘The Future of Capitalism’. He went on to explain how the Chinese word for crisis is defined in two single words, ‘danger’ and ‘opportunity’.

‘The crash of 2008 was the fifth crisis in 200 years. All of them occurred at the transition from one era to the next…. during the current crisis we finally say goodbye to the 20th century models of old and transit into the new era of digital connectivity.’

.. and it’s cloud technology that’s driving this digital connectivity.

Spending a modest period on the bench got me thinking about the pointless pressures for professionals to remain ‘billable’, no excuses. Too many companies view ‘the percentage of billable work’ as the Holy Grail to which you’re measured on! It’s a carrot and stick scenario that only works if you’re in a role that requires little in the way of innovative thinking.

Work as one, for the good of all

The extended value-chain, an interesting topic to some :S. It’s one of the biggest affects Cloud’s having on business today, an ever changing model that’s transforming corporates of all sizes. It’s also raising a few interesting topics around why today’s ‘assumed’ management best practices simply doesn’t fit the mould anymore, and why discounting or pleading ignorance will ultimately see #fail.

Mystical magic pill

OK, we get that enterprises must start to develop innovative and creative environments for future growth and differentiation. As with everything in life there’s a right way and there’s a wrong way to do this.

Innovation, it’s not a magical pill that executives can get you to buy into merely by commanding his/ her subordinates to start ‘thinking’ that way.

Communications vs. Compute, the battle’s over.

Andy Grove

Grove’s law stated that network bandwidth only doubled once every century. Moore’s law stated that the CPU power will double every year. Groves made the statement as a ‘tongue in cheek’ observation toward the prehistoric telecoms providers, but when you actually think about it his point holds water.
