My first full day in New Zealand involved some interesting meetings and a presentation to the Hugo Group in the early evening. These small sessions with senior executives are always enjoyable as you get into strategic dialogue quickly and the need for explanation of context is less that with a broader audience. A few questions […]
Yesterday I talked about the use of mass input to create micro-scenarios about the future. The idea being to get mass participation to increase the range of possible futures taken into account.

After my series of posts on scaling it was time to but some of that work into a seminar/training course that I ran with Simon Bennett. We'd spent some time talking and planning it on a walk near Congee beach with Simon and Saf earlier in the week and I got a chance to see […]
An odd sort of day which started with my getting up before 0400 to make the 0601 train the Bonn and finished with me winning a bidding war on eBay auction with my last bid while watching the German humiliation of Brazil in a bar in the centre of town. The good Burghers of Bonn […]
I've encountered this argument a few times over the year. Most recently last night in respect of Net Promotor Score (NPS) and the previous work with an NLP/Spiral Dynamics advocate. &nnbsp;Just to be clear there is a difference, NPS has been challenged by multiple authorities but it is not a pseudo-science like NLP or a […]
