• 3.12 | December 2014: Lessons learned from the defeat of Google Authorship and catalogues' contests
  About the furore of data fundamentalists against digital copyright
  [...] What does it mean reducing differences to insignificant variations of what tends to be inevitably the same digital stuff, once we remove the human responsibility and the original intellectual contributions provided by different authors? [...]
• 3.11 | November 2014: Nothing like a wrong bankruptcy order to spoil my reputation?
  Nudging the nudgers on gamification of governance and cybercrime
  [...] I just suggested we should change the governance game, as this perpetuation of a Cop and robbers play in financial services, managing and mismanaging people money, is just another way to incentivise more tricks and clever scams in spite of very important internationally recognised principles of good practice and fundamental rights [...]
• 3.10 | October 2014: Let social media battles end or, at least, be traceable and regulated
  About data management, programmatic advertising and other digital challenges for brands
  [...] I have found the recent Lego vs Greenpeace saga very disturbing and in some ways shocking as it revealed the ferocity of the media competition for the control of marketing and communication expenditures by global brands. It has also said something about the difficulties of managing changes while staying (or being put) in the public eye [...]
• 3.9 | September 2014: Repetita don't always iuvant
  Open letter to my two Countries about digital innovation processes
  [...] Switching from Amazon to Sainsbury's websites and vice-versa is almost seamless for the digital buyer. That is the fundamental reason why requirements for brand differentiation and loyalty strategies work very differently for online outlets. So that the perils of overstating and overestimating web analytics - seeing intelligent design and intentional pathways in what is just network data and browsing / searching clutter - is endless [...]
• 3.8 | August 2014: Atoms need precision
  Why no real change can occur in an aesthetic vagueness of words or meanings
  [...] A recent biographic exhibition - that I have found marvellous - on Kenneth Clark, british historian, curator and broadcaster, encouraged me to reconsider the case of an exhibition I visited in Paris two years ago that has remained unpleasantly hermetic to me in respect of most of its contents for a long while: it was a complex, difficult and nevertheless fascinating and important exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, entitled Multiversités créatives [...]
• 3.7 | July 2014: Global internet governance needs more than the european right to be forgotten
  About three assurance requirements for internet developments
  [...] internet businesses must be everybody's business, in only one common regulated world of Nations and Governments, in which no institution should be deprived of or existing without appropriated ways to manage and preserve its collective memory - that consists at its very foundation level of nothing more than the digital equivalent of the Domesday Book, called Whois.
• 3.6 | June 2014: You said that!
  About being a rutilant innovator and persistent learner
  [...] influencing and persuading professional communities and innovating practices and behaviours among peers is not just a matter of brilliant ideas envisaged by creative people or commitment fostered by leading stakeholders [...]
• 3.5 | Special Election Day 2014: So do you want to bully me? And how?
  Why atheism is better than multiculturalism for peace and wellbeing - and even to fight bullying and defend pensions
  [...] Atheists do not practice mind-reading, do not see religious metaphorical messages, opportunities or hidden values behind human fortunes, misfortunes and daily facts of life. Instead, atheists believe in natural ethical principles such reciprocity, responsibility, accountability and in the universality of human rights [...]
• 3.4 | May 2014: Do you sell Executive MBAs? Keep waiting!
  About information management challenges for executive education
  [...] There is a common bias leading many executives to assume information management expertise is always included in contracts for other management or IT services (from risk management or due diligence advice and training to supply of IT systems) or it is simply redundant and without peculiar business justification in their contexts [...]
• 3.3 | April 2014: Watch that change that changes anything!
  About managing interdependencies through a collaborative scheduling policy
  [...] In order to reduce the complexity of the scheduling and resourcing tasks I defined a policy that put in place some general rules, very simple to communicate and to agree with team members as well as with actual and potential customers so that certain activities and their interdependencies were consensually baselined. In this way we were able to identify variance risks well in advance and to proactively funnel customers and team members to alternative schedules [...]
• 3.2 | March 2014: Let's close in on privacy crimes
  About the sudden naivety of special data protection laws
  [...]"Proper disclosure and the organisation of proper arrangements for disclosure - I am quoting Arlidge & Parry on Fraud, 4th ed, 2014 here - will advance the interests of justice to all the parties to the trial rather than hinder it by burying the real issues beneath mountains of paper, accompanied by satellite skirmishing, is fundamental"[...]
• 3.1 | February 2014: I do not want your passwords! Can emotional intelligence help with IT requirements?
  An organisational and holistic look at data security perversion
  [...] Instead of valuing appreciative enquiries, diversity, new associative and critical thinking or original perspectives that bring about change, such dysfunctional environments tend to encourage imitation of the most contagious, childish and simplistic behaviours. [...]
