Inevitably, and unfortunately, sometimes when there are big innovations which work with both humans and machinery, there will be fatalities. This week, the first known fatality happened with something that will be affecting millions of us in a few years time: Automated driving by cars. Yesterday, the driver of a Tesla S (which are known as having the best safety rating in the world ) was killed while the car was using its Autopilot setting.

The shortest poem in the english language, by the late, great Muhammad Ali, is simply “Me, We” By which I think he meant we are nothing without our connection to other people. This week the British people chose, against all of the odds, to go in the opposite direction. Namely to go from “we” back to “me” again. To disconnect from our European neighbours.

You know that little black dress you’ve had your eye on, because black hides imperfections? Well, it’s about to get significantly blacker. Surrey Nanosystems has just released details on their newest product, called Vantablack. It is a carbon nanotube-based system (where each tube is just one atom thick), and the special way that these nanotubes are arranged causes much more light to be absorbed into the surface rather than reflected back.

Microsoft recently hit the headlines after revealing a $26 billion agreement to buy LinkedIn. In a digital age when most people obtain their social updates and look for work using a social network, Microsoft had been noticeably lacking in this area for some time. When a large corporation has no expertise in a rapidly growing area such as social media that represents a Hard Trend (a future certainty) going forward, it typically buys what it needs.

I mentioned in an earlier article how the Gas Can event on June 24, 2016 was “half empty” at best. After the event, I posted on Facebook about how difficult it is, once you’ve produced events, to sit in the audience and not re-produce an event with major production problems. While writing an article poking holes in the Gas Can program would be easy, however, it wouldn’t have much value for you.

Leadership can be found at any level of an organization. This means that you don’t have to be a manager to be a leader. To make this work it must be possible in an organization to lead one another. Recent research shows that this can take place when there is enough diversity and commonality. Diverse teams are more successful and innovative than homogeneous teams, as diverse team are better at managing opportunities and threats to create more success in a sustainable way.

Something that I feel is overlooked by a lot of product designers is the second-hand experience of their product. That is to say, above and beyond the target user, who is affected by the product—and most importantly—what is their experience? If the UX team has satisfied all the needs and desires of the target user, minimized their pain-points, and maximized their ability to enjoy the most common process flows, that is truly awesome—but how does the experience they design affect that person’s soc

Imagine a hypothetical scenario where you’re forced to make a choice between innovating for Customer A or Customer B. Which one would you choose? Well, it depends on how much they buy from you. If Customer A spends more money on your products than Customer B, you’d select that one. But wait a minute. What if Customer A costs you more in terms of selling and customer service.

A lot of people are looking for “brand strategy”. Why? One reason is because brand power and influence are much more difficult to obtain in this era of empowered consumerism. Empowerment comes from increased access to information and through a shift in trust from experts to peers. This shift isn’t simply a change in the way buying decisions are made.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities.
