Leading the conversation on digital connected work
När tre grupper med olika intressen och vokabulär samlas för att planera företagsarkitektur är det lätt att missförstå när man försöker prioritera förväntningar, frågor och mål. Jag är glad över att få möjlighet att samarbeta med IT-experten Colin Scott i en månatlig webbsändning med Ask the Expert där deltagarna kan skicka in sina frågor om en...

Your Creative Power A friend of mine runs the innovation and creativity practice at a large, global firm. He turned me onto the book, Your Creative Power: How to Use Imagination to Brighten Life and to Get Ahead, by Alex Osborn. Osborn was one of the original “Mad Men” of advertising.

Horse Phone ♞☎, a Tasktop meme that has significance far beyond its unassuming appearance. A few lucky people have seen glimpses of this rare beast in demos at Tasktop – but what does it mean? Horse Phone ♞☎ is the tip of the proverbial unicode testing iceberg for Tasktop’s connectors. Our approach to testing integrations,...
