Fraggl and Google Squared
So, some excited news on Fraggl. The Fraggl team (that's me and AdaptiveLab) have been focused on delivering continuous improvements to the consumer beta product that we have created, and (alongside the usual tweaks) the members of our Pioneers Club that we launched recently will know that we've been testing out the kind of job…

Post Of The Month – March 2014 – The Winner
Well done to John Willshire who won a pretty tight vote this month, with lots of support also for Patricia McDonald's excellent post on real-time marketing. But in the end it was John's The Good Master that won through and so he is entered into the Hall of Fame. Nominations for next month's vote open…

Gonzo Products
Gonzo products from Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino I saw a talk from Alexandra Deschamps Sonsino last year at Next Berlin which contained lots of good internet-of-things thoughts, and this short presentation just given at Future Everything 2014 is also good. I particularly liked the delineation between 'defensive innovation', 'careful innovation' and so-called 'gonzo innovation'. I'm in Manchester…

Culture At Buffer
The Buffer Culture – Version 0.3 from Buffer Econsultancy had a post with eight different takes on company culture. One of them came from Buffer (worth checking out the Etsy one too) which I'd seen before, but it's worth a reminder of the nine values on which they base their culture: Always choose positivity and…

Everybody has a Plan, Until They Get Punched in the Face
The memorable line that forms the title to this post came from Mike Tyson. He's quoted in Scott D Antony's Little Black Book of Innovation which I'm reading at the moment. The book is full of such gems so I'm sure I'll be lifting more from it but Tyson is quoted in the context of…
