It’s not a revolution unless something changes

January 27, 2010

My daughter begins high school next week.
And as she does, the Federal government and the various state governments continue to trumpet their triumphs in their so-called Building the Education Revolution plan. As yet, I’ve seen no revolution from this program, and little evolution. Mostly just reactionary, frightened implementation of the laptops for high schoolers program [...]

On Monday this week, IBM flew me to the Australian Open for a day at the tennis and a behind the scenes view of the technology they provide to this and other events in their role as the key technology provider. It was all done under the aegis of my being [...]

It’s the (news) network, stupid

January 21, 2010

in posts

Stowe Boyd has it pretty much spot-on in his analysis of the New York Times’ announcement that it’s moving to a freemium model in 2011. Over at Reuters, the ever-eloquent Felix Salmon has his own, equally dark view of the move by the NYT, noting his belief it will do them no end of damage.

Elevator

January 20, 2010

in posts

I often struggle when asked to give my elevator pitch – there are so many things I think about and want to do. But it’s more than time I did it, so here goes nothing…
What’s acidlabs mean?
acidlabs is about ideas. With the name, I wanted to create something that attracted attention. That’s worked just fine, [...]

2010 vision

January 13, 2010

in posts

Many folk I know have been discussing their 2009 challenges and victories and looking forward to what 2010 has in store for them. I’ve felt the need to at least review and refresh, but knew I had to get my thoughts in order first.
This post is just a first pass at doing so for me [...]

Deep thoughts

December 9, 2009

in posts

I write a lot of words about the three tag words for acidlabs – Conversation. Collaboration. Community. – and what they mean in this world where Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Knowledge Worker 2.0, Government 2.0 and all the other over-hyped PickHotTopicOfTheDay 2.0 subjects are discussed. It’s not often that I manage to get any of [...]

Only Connect

September 29, 2009

The presentation below is the slide deck from my opening keynote at yesterday’s AIS NSW ICT Integration Conference 2009: eConsumers or eProducers?
It went over very well. The teachers and other educators seemed enthused by my contribution to their event. A sound file, that I will sync with the slides, is coming.
The title, from the dedication [...]

Government 2.0 – reinventing eGovernment or something different?

September 9, 2009

in speaking

This short talk is to be delivered to the IBM Smarter Workforce – Government Leadership Forum on 9 September 2009.
“Every dystopia is a utopia turned inside out… The problem isn’t in the basic idea, it’s in the arrogance of implementation. It’s in the idea that we will get it right the first time.”

Enterprise 2.0 Boston coming soon

May 31, 2009

in posts

One of the best events I attended in 2008 was the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston.
It was full of detailed, real case studies, a well-managed minimum of vendor pitches (except where they were noted as such) and several hundred smart people I managed to meet face-to-face for the first time. As much as I only [...]
