Hamilton Mann Conversation Episode #68

I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on the Hamilton Mann conversation. We discussed a number of topics outlined below.

As countries grapple with how to limit global warming and protect natural resources and biodiversity, more companies are growing their own commitments to building SDGs-friendly products, services and supply chains. At this year’s CES, Companies and start-ups touched on a broad range of those efforts while leveraging data and AI as a new normal.

What were some of the most digital innovative products or services that could help the greater interest of society?   

How was the sustainability stake taken into account as a value of the digital innovation showcased?

And beyond tech, what are some of the encouraging examples of companies that highlight new digital business models embracing new 5 Ps (aka People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership)?

Podcast – Disruption Is the New Normal

I recently had the privilege to join the Up & Out with Connie podcast discussing how disruption is the new normal. Up & Out is featured on iHeartRadio, SirusXM and C-Suite Radio. You can listen here.

I discuss emerging technologies impact on consumer behavior and the acceleration of disruption and the role of the empowered consumer.

We also discuss the shift from content to contextual marketing and the role of data, specifically the data of culture & data of identity as well as the role of intelligent systems, augmented intelligence and artificial intelligence.

We end the discussion with how we interact with artificial intelligence, how I work with start-ups and then personal questions such as a favorite quote, how I started in technology, discussing failure that leads to success and more.

16 Digital Trends for 2016

The first movie I saw in theaters was the original Star Wars (Episode IV) in the late seventies. That ignited my passion for advanced technology, space travel, science fiction, robotics and the future.

I continue to draw inspiration from that sense of wonder today. Understanding how to connect systems and data with compelling creative is key to connecting with consumers in an incredibly fragmented landscape.

Just like a disturbance in the force, there are macro digital shifts that will impact strategy. What worked a few months ago may not be applicable and adaptability and experimentation are key to staying ahead to meet the demands of today and to reinvent for tomorrow.
