During the 1990s, a recession gave rise to a series of popular belt-tightening management edicts that consultants vowed would bring our economy back from the brink by establishing predictable revenue streams and operational efficiencies.  Management gurus such as Michael Hammer led the charge with his audacious howl writing in the Harvard Business Review, “Don’t automate! Obliterate!” and launched a multi-million dollar boom market in Business Process Engineering (BPR) consulting.         This  show all text

Ericsson’s UX Lab have recently been doing some important and brave work around the Internet of Things. We have been particularly intrigued by their concept of using social networks as a model to understand complex networks. This is smart, it builds on our innate familiarity with social networks, but also acts as a provocation for us to think differently about the internet of things. It also happens to cross over with many of the BERG’s interests including Little Printer, BERGCloud and very clo...  show all text

Once again, it’s time for my quarterly comment on how quickly time has passed, marked by the publishing of the latest ONS statistics into Internet Access. So, here it goes - doesn’t time fly! The good news is that the number of offline people has decreased again in the first quarter of 2012, down by 1% to 8.12 million. Things are definitely moving in the right direction. I like to look on the bright side of life, but I think there might be some disappointment in the sector that the rate of mov...  show all text

Web startups are made out of two things: people and code. The people make the code, and the code makes the people rich. Code is like a poem; it has to follow certain structural requirements, and yet out of that structure can come art. But code is art that does something. It is the assembly of something brand new from nothing but an idea.

The whole "everyone should learn programming" meme has gotten so out of control that the mayor of New York City actually vowed to learn to code in 2012. A noble gesture to garner the NYC tech community vote, for sure, but if the mayor of New York City actually needs to sling JavaScript code to do his job, something is deeply, horribly, terribly wrong with politics in the state of New York. Even if Mr. Bloomberg did "learn to code", with apologies to Adam Vandenberg, I expect we'd end up with ...  show all text
