Expect more of these every week or two... IF you join in to make them happen. Follow me on Google+ for notification of future such events, and then come hangout with us.
This week is with Craig Wilkey, Nate Beran, and Simone Moore.
We touch on

- sci fi, excitement and engaging people
- rational culture change e.g. Balanced Diversity by Karen Ferris
- research, information and knowledge
- Slow IT: wanting to slow down decision making, and having to slow down
- projecting our personal experience onto customer and business
- rushing after competitive edge and how often we really need to
- bad governance of IT by the business
- the US drive to meet quarterly earnings adn rush to market vs the more meaured European strategies
- vendors with poor netiquette
- how bad behaviour in sales is inevitable: caveat emptor
