Is “Digital” the end of the World as we know it?
We get bombarded with articles, interviews and even songs (OK, maybe just one from R.E.M. back in 1987) telling us that "digital" will disrupt everything you do, robots will take over etc.If we look at history, we can firstly safely assume that we have learnt nothing...
What can we learn from the music industry?
I think we have now all heard the story of how Apple (and Napster) transformed the music industry with the iPod/iPhone and iTunes...so I won't spend much time on that. The music industry, though, is still an excellent example of some of the consequences of...
Interview with IGNITE on value conversations
I have been interviewed and you can read the outcome of it on LinkedIN.

They sell. They obviously do a lot more, but if I had to pick one thing from sparring with startups that differentiates the successful from the less successful then it is their focus on selling. Everybody loves developing the idea, but too many are in my book more...
