A generation of being digital. A generation of being digital. July 27, 2015 /. In Adam Grant’s Give and Take. It increasingly strikes me that Givers are crucial to networks and communities forming: there have to be some people who up front are willing to devote some time, energy and effort. Without those acts of unconditional investment, progress is slow if not impossible. I do wonder, though, within the disciplines of project management if Givers might be self-selected out?

A generation of being digital. A generation of being digital. April 28, 2015 /. A return to skeuomorphism? A few years ago a debate raged in design circles. Skeuomorphism, the use of analogous reference to real-world objects for no practical purpose, was much beloved in the design language of Apple.From faux leather backgrounds to mock metal grilles, fragments of real world objects were littered all over the digital tools and services that people consumed on their iPhones, iPads and Macs.

A generation of being digital. A generation of being digital. August 13, 2012 /. Campbell’s law, Goodhart’s law, and the trouble with observation. I’m doing a wee bit of research at the moment into another Ignite. Presentation at the end of the month ( more details, and opportunity to sign up here. I’m going to cover off a favourite topic of mine – the madness of measurement. Basically a piece of controlled moaning. What’s cropped up has been a couple of “laws” Goodhart’s law. And Campbell’s law. 8220;Th...

So successful that people didn’t need to upgrade from it. And certainly weren’t going to upgrade to Windows Vista, which was widely accepted within and without Microsoft as a dog. With three legs. And mange. I then spent a bit of time playing with it last night. Here’s what I thought. Sure, there’s a stack of stuff within Windows ...

A generation of being digital. A generation of being digital. July 28, 2015 /. Back in the days before social networks, us Gen Xers used to do most of the stuff that we do today on Facebook and Twitter using email. Pictures of cats existed before the era of the social networks; email was social without the like buttons. A week after posting this daft flowchart, it has been reposted on tittle-tattle site The Poke. Continues to be shared by hundreds on LinkedIn, and has been viewed some 120,000 times on Tw...

A generation of being digital. A generation of being digital. February 15, 2013 /. Why you should always upload your photo…. On most corporate email systems, not to mention social networks, there’s usually the opportunity to upload a photo of yourself.
