The 70, 20 ,10 Approach to Innovation
When I talk to companies about digital culture, agility and innovation I often end up talking about organisational focus and particularly the challenge of embedding continuous innovation. Joel Gascoigne, the co-founder of Buffer has a great post on just this (and I've written before about Buffer as an exemplar of organisational culture). He references this…

On Social Media ‘Command Centres’
I've had a bit of a rant before about some of the language we use in our industry (particularly the military analogies).

This Week’s Favourite Fraggl Links
Adam Magyar, Array #1 from Adam Magyar on Vimeo. Here are my favourite links from this week, curated by Fraggl: More Adam Magyar brilliance (above). A "high speed video recording at Seoul at Sindorim Station of people descending on stairs while changing from Line 1 to Line 2". Makes sense - NBC Universal found that (FT £) a TV show’s ratings…

BIMA Hot 100
Well. The British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) have named me in their 'Hot 100' list of people to watch in the UK digital industry which, several years after leaving corporate world to do my own thing, is nice validation.
