Life and IoT

I have lived the telecom revolution of the 90's. Lived the mobile revolution of the 2000's. I lived the social revolution of the late 2000's and now living the "cloud" revolution. All, amazing revolutions that have changed how we live and who we are. Even how we use our brains. 
The coming of IoT is nothing short of mind-blowing as compared to past revolutions. It consolidates all of them into immensely powerful and practical applications that will change us -again. 
Now we will be able to tell what food stuff is missing from our refrigerators via a notification on our mobile app. Better yet, it will notify the grocery store that will prepare the package so one can collect it on the way home or be delivered by drone or autonomous car. Now we will be able to navigate via internal "GPS" inside buildings by using new elevation sensors that will be imbedded in new chip steps in our life management devices we call smart-phones. Now our devices will be able to anticipate our next move and predict which lane on your way to work is faster. Now we will be able to be agents in provide collective security to society using cloud, video, NFC, and peer to peer capabilities in our life management devices. 

All industries will be disrupted by IoT. And all industries can benefit from their upside. All industries need to prepare by understanding where they sit and how they can play.

The life giving power if Insights…

I love new insights. I am hungry for them. They are a drug for me. If for no other reason than to try to get ahead of the future. Who would not want that? In my world, new insights are the basic ingredients for new ideas. Without them the status quo remains as is: static. With them, there is dynamism. The more insights, the more they can be mushed together to develop aggregated knowledge, theories, philosophies, products, platforms... Why can’t our political system understand this? Here is one source for them to check out www.ted.com. Here is a golden source of fantastic insights from global brilliant agents of change. Come on, go crazy. Whenever you are down, need inspiration, need to clear your mind, go and start your thinking anew…

An Open Plead for True Leadership

Please, please, to all those with the power to create, affect change and inspire; to all those powers - be them metaphysical or spiritual- please give us real leaders and please give us the capacity to understand what real leadership is. Give us the capacity to think deeply and with great care. Give us the capacity to get past our self imposed celebrity filters and stop the analysis at: “she seems nice.” Give us the analytical mind-sets to be able to connect facts and not fiction. Give us the critical thinking skills and the brain power to go back and see what a disaster immature and arrogant un-leadership has been laid on our door step and that of the World. Give us the strength to not react to emotional triggers. More importantly, however: Give us the strength to look in the mirror and say to ourselves, I am responsible for the mess this country is in due to my own flaccid and indifferent participation. Let’s get active and demand more. Let’s demand an idea revolution and do nothing

Passion Economy?

So, this is where this thought originated. I was talking to a colleague about how stupidly we have have organized ourselves inside companies. We " comparmentalized " our thinking and have created these static and vertical buckets: "product development", "product management", "public relations", "marketing"etc... What we have not created and need to create are "passion" and "creative" management theories that aggregate these skills/abilities into tiger/virtual teams with members that are passionate about the tasks at hand. In my experience, the first step in selecting a tiger team member is to find those that have the passion. How do you do this? You "shop" it around and those interested will raise their proverbial hands and will want to participate. Moreover, however, Innovation managers need to be very cognizant of the effects management policies will have on people's creative drives; the management et
