They also called the shots in how they communicated with customers. Back in the day, corporations were in charge inside and outside the firewall. That was then and this is now. Innovation Infiltrating the Enterprise We’re in a new era, the consumerization of IT–defined as […]

Active Information: Streaming through Computational World, Changing change via experimentation platforms

by

My latest posts on the HPIO Active Information blog:

Streaming through a Computational World — (most popular post to date)

To take advantage of the computational world, or the nearer term internet of things, we need to infuse smarts throughout our data collection networks.  We need to employ up-front and intermediate filters, traffic cops, aggregators, pattern detectors, and intelligent agents.  We need to get over being data hoarders, and have the astuteness to leave data behind.

Busting cultural resistance via experimentation platforms — (changing change)

Culture, mistrust of the data, lack of interest. These very human factors are adoption barriers for 46% of the respondents. Yet, these barriers aren’t new. Nor, confined to big data and advanced analytics. To change a culture, you need to bring proof to the table.  And proof requires hands-on experimentation and real-world data. We need data to prove that we need data. How will we get that?

Failures in Communication – Don’t Tell Me! Engage Me!

by

For frequent readers, you know that I tend to look at issues through a humanistic lens.  Many of my client inquiries start with a request for the best way to represent “x”, or the way to describe something so that people will do “y”.  Instead, I like to think about “What are you trying to […]

Cycles within cycles

by

It’s customary at this time of year to do some kind of review: what’s happened in the past annual cycle, hopes and intentions for the next. [Sometimes these reviews can be a bit too predictable in their over-focus on prediction? As Forrester enterprise-architect Brian Hopkins put it in a nicely ironic Tweet this morning, “I predict […]
