T2O T2C

Here’s an interesting thread I mentally wove beyond after reading some remarks from a twogger. He was talking about how long it took for a company to finally nail ‘excellent [http://blog.launch.co/blog/t2e-time-to-excellence.html]‘ products. His cybersphere-grabbing headline named-checked Apple. How they took 25 years to

Options Paper

The civil war in Syria has vexed plenty of democratic minds over the past year. BBC political editor Nick Robinson reported [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20335345]that UK PM Cameron has decided we are now at the “something must be done stage”. This is because he believes the

Buyer's Org Chart

[http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/nov/13/bbc-structure-visualised-newsnight] Organagrams. Prehistoric thinking that remains remarkably prevalent. Yet it is often a revealing exercise to try and plot out your prospect’s such chart. And I don’t mean simply getting a ‘pal’ clientside to sneak you a copy

Carrie's Homeland Timeline

I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but I did rather fall for the Emmy-winning American political thriller Homeland. With Season Two kicking off just now, I re-watched the final two. Gripping stuff. In the penultimate episode, the lady spy colour codes all data to hand. Her boss then arranges

4 Phases Of Change

Disturbing times for a friend of mine. He was recently rocked by the unexpected receipt of divorce papers. Unpleasant and debilitating. With everything still raw, we got to talking about how people react to a significant change event. I recall I’d blogged [http://salespodder.com/4-premiership-change-stages/] on this kind

Thinking Report

Being five hours behind in New York, I caught an item on BBC Radio 5 I would never normally catch. Su Chang eloquently dissected how Beijing Uni is sending students for internet cessation [http://efcoffeeroom.blogspot.com/2012/05/beijing-university-is-to-relaunch.html] classes. By pure fluke, the package on Radio 4

Associator vs Dissociator

Another bank holiday weekend post. It’s a five day break here in Cape Town. I’ve been going for the odd run along the prom and like I always have done, I listen to music all the way. I find it helps get over those difficult first few minutes.

Process Equipment Results

I did something Sunday I do rarely these days. I planned to watch a grand prix. For over a decade the paint drying on a nearby ceiling has been more interesting. Yet all of a sudden, the pants can wet. There were flashes of it last year. Jenson Button’s

Special Advisors

The liberal lefty English media have got themselves into a right tizz over Murdoch bashing. The latest Leveson Inquiry “revelations” are conversations betweeen “government” and “Murdoch”, captured quite bizarrely (and allegedly with embellishment) by internal News International emails. Too much? The lawyer, Mark Lewis, representing several phone hack victims, even

Trim Risk Exposure

I caught a radio assessment of how self-help groups are forming around Britain to provide support and community for suffering servicemen. Unsurprisingly, the armed forces have historically provided nothing in the way of preparation and remedy for the horrors of war that those at the sharp end experience. Thankfully this
