Frankenstein’s Line Extension vs. The Innovator

By ⋅ February 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Consumer Electronics Show is an extremely big show and runs the gamut from cables, accessories, and video games, to cutting edge industrial technology.  It is really fun, especially if you can just walk around and look at things.  This year, I was lucky and got to spend half a day just wandering around.  If […]

Opening Networks Up

I was delighted to see that Kevin Werbach has been picked to co-lead the FCC Review for the Obama transition project.  I cannot think of a better person for the job.  I met Kevin sometime back in 2001 when he first came to Philadelphia.  Kevin had been editing Release 1.0 and had taken a faculty […]

My good friend, Ken McArthur is standing in a circus tent today asking 2,000 people to spread a message of hope to teenagers who don’t think that life is worth living. I think it’s a great message of hope for anyone and would love tosee you think about spreading it today. Here’s Ken’s simple message […]

Strategic Alliances Driving Innovation

I attended a meeting for the Innovation special interest group of the Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals (ASAP) up at Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts.  As you might guess, the session focused on ways that alliances and partnerships can improve innovation.  The session had a very nice mix of folks from the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare, […]

The Secret Soul of a CIO

By ⋅ June 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

On the surface, it looks like pretty straightforward wizardry.  The company gives the CIO less money and expects increases in overall performance and productivity. He is expected to deliver complicated solutions that people can benefit from immediately without any training. The King doesn’t understand the magic that it takes to make things happen, but has […]

Different Courses for Different Horses

By ⋅ June 15, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It is so much easier to think that there is a single right career path that is best for everyone. It would mean though, that we all develop the same way, have the same goals, and that things won’t change over time.  That hasn’t been my experience, however.
