We Need to Completely Rethink How Business Operates Using Social Media
I’ve mentioned the book I’ve been working on. I’ve actually made considerable headway on the weekends (except I can’t come up with a good title to save my life) and thought I’d share my current working summary. I’d love to hear your feedback. I am looking for examples where social technologies have been used by [...]
Innovation and Disruption, What’s Holding You Back?
I have stated before that, while I don’t know the guy and have never met him, Marc Andreessen is probably the entrepreneur of my generation that I most admire. Today I came across a post on TechCrunch where Marc is quoted as saying that Old Media needs to burn the boats. I love this type [...]
Never chase a market leader. Instead start a new race.
Ignore the rumors and stop chasing Apple. Forbes has a good post on innovation. The irony is that the minute you say we want to innovate like Apple, you are no longer innovating. You’re iterating. Innovation Beyond Apple – Forbes.com When it comes to innovation, many executives in the consumer goods industry are chasing Apple. [...]
That’s a Stupid Idea.
Image by Tac Anderson via Flickr When pushing the envelope sometimes you and the people you work with say really stupid things and come up with really stupid ideas. It’s ok to say, “That’s a stupid idea”. When was the last time you said that? When’s the last time you said that and the other [...]
What is America the best in the World at?
Image by Getty Images via Daylife What is America the best in the World at? Innovation? Michael Mandel and my recent cab driver don’t think so. My knee jerk reaction to this article is to think the author is an idiot that doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But I’ve learned over the years that [...]

The only thing you should be doing
I originally wrote this post several months ago and it’s taken me this long to remove the excess emotion and get it to a point I thought it was ready to post. I still don’t know if it’s ready but I feel it needs to be said. The only thing you should be doing I [...]
Twitter: the last bastion of Web 2.0 Innovation
Image via CrunchBase “Why won’t people shut up about Twitter?” I’ve heard this question a lot over the last 2 years. I’ve even said it a time or two. So why do we obsess about Twitter? Remember the good old days (3-4 yrs ago)? Before Social Media it was just New Media (Chris Garrett‘s still [...]
Creative Interactions Lead to More Innovation.
Image via WikipediaThere isn’t a CEO alive who doesn’t think more innovation is a good thing and something that their organization needs more of it. The problem is, no one’s really sure how to maximize it in a cost effective manner. We all have vague notions of where it comes from and there is no [...]
Business Lessons From a Dead Viking
I’ve been reading Michael Raynor’s Strategy Paradox where he addresses the fact that so many good strategies fail. He points out that the DNA between good strategy and bad strategy is often impossible to tell apart. Raynor is coauthor of Innovators Solution with Clayton Christensen. I highly recommend both books. Raynor (with props to Jared [...]
