I was kicking off the two-day workshop with a broad presentation on the future of business, while Damien Giurco, Research Director at University of Technology Sydney's Institute for Sustainable Futures , would speak later on 'Cities as the mines of the futu

I’ve used Drupal to power my blog since I started it over 2 years ago. It has been a bitter sweet relationship, but in general I’ve been pleased. In those two years, WordPress as a product has rocketed past Drupal, and feels much more mature. While Drupal 7 should level the field a bit, it’s a ways away and WordPress 3.0 is already here.

The sexual life of ideas: flirtation, promiscuity, procreation, and seminal creativity but no virgin births

Trends in the Living Networks

Here's a brief excerpt from Chapter 1 of Living Networks on the sexual life of ideas - I've always had a good response to this and it remains a relevant metaphor :-). Ideas don't like being alone. In fact they like copulating promiscuously with any other idea in sight. There is no such thing as a virgin birth in the world of ideas. Ideas are always born from other ideas: interacting, mating, and procreating.

Guide to Centralizing IT Operations: How to Link Tasks and Tools with an Automation Platform

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

Scaling up with social media: luxury brands have a natural advantage.

Leveraging Organizational Knowledge

Jeremiah Owyang recently did a presentation on how companies can scale up with social media technologies. Do read it. His starting observation is that customers (let alone prospects) will always outnumber a company's total workforce (let alone the ones formally responsible for customer relationships). Since social media puts companies in "direct" contact with a growing number of people, they are in danger of counter-productive social media initiatives leaving most customers or prospects frustrat
