A common misconception about autistic individuals is that they shun social contact, that they are all introverts. But in many cases it is simply the means - not the desire - to be social that eludes them. Face-to-face, real-time conversation can be difficult, but it is not because their is no interest in communicating. Enter social media. To get an idea of what some autistic individuals have to say, check out the autistic bloggers at The Autism Hub.

I was very fortunate this week to attend the Executive Education program " Leading Professional Services Firms " at Harvard Business School. It was at once exhausting and energizing. The workload was aggressive (20 cases covered over the week, each requiring hours of prep), and learning via the case method made for a highly interactive and powerful experience.

Image representing iPhone 3G as depicted in Crunchbase Hint: It has nothing to do with touch screens. While RIM scrambles to create the next greatest device, or their “iPhone killer” it needs to recognize that it’s no longer about the device. RIM don’t you remember that touchscreens aren’t new. Palm had them back in the 90?s … before you crushed them.

I realize that the purpose of this blog is commerce, not art, and that I haven't posted much lately. Part of the reason for my lack of focus on this blog is that my father is in declining health, and has been in and out of the hospital recently.

In 1996, when I left the world of corporate employment to do my own thing, I soon realized that not only do you not have anyone organizing a Christmas party for you, you may have no-one or very few people to party with. So together with some of my self-employed and entrepreneurial friends, we decided to have our Christmas party together. This year is the 10th anniversary of the self-employed and entrepreneurs Xmas drinks.

The existing logo for Advanced Human Technologies was designed in 1997. Not only has the world changed a lot since then, it is now becoming a very different company. It is time for a complete rebranding, starting with the logo, and including a complete redesign of the website, which is also sorely out of date. More on all the updates later - in brief Advanced Human Technologies will go far beyond being a consulting company to also being a publisher and supporting several new start-up ventures.

More than half of all B2B marketers are already using intent data to increase sales, and Gartner predicts this figure will grow to 70 percent. The reason is clear: intent can provide you with massive amounts of data that reveal sales opportunities earlier than ever before.
