The storyteller

As you previously read, it’s important to communicate innovation in a way that should be:

Clear
Simple
Direct
Meaningful

It is definite that one of the most innovative ideas of the past century was the mobile phone. Going smaller, going brighter, going smarter, this object became an inimitable friend in our every day life. Dedicated to few business men in the beginning, he becomes a tool for everyone, and this made his fortune. His [...]

Genesis
At the beginning it was the Network, large, vast, and free. You could browse anywhere and find things you’ve never suppose to find, or that you searched for without success year after year. All of us remember that special query that we used to hit upon an old buddy or to get that singular event [...]

Communicating Innovation

Communicating innovation is as important as innovation itself.
If I look at the past I can bring to you a couple of examples:

WAP on mobile phones. The claim at the time was “Internet in your pocket”. Quite clearly customers have really been disappointed by finding out that the internet that was supposed to be in their [...]

An old melody (first released in 1975, is it really “old”?) made by The Tubes and entitled “What do You Want from Life?” could be the hymn of a new virtual paradise, the so called Second Life place. I’ve never visited it, like many others, but I’ll try to write something about it, made by [...]

We’re all fascinated by the bright future we’re going to have thanks to the RFID technologies. It happens monthly, somewhere and sometimes experts start all together to talk about RFID, new implementations, new tags, new performances and, obviously, new customers. Monthly, because there is a process and a timeframe to respect: the scoop, the understanding, [...]

The title “Innovation is a company culture” should be no news to innovators. Innovation is one of the most important assets for a company. It’s value should be spread all over the organization or it’s going to be completely useless.

Really Innovators?

Sometimes I have the suspect, it’s more than this, that everything we investigate, test, or even DISCOVER, was already found, in another period of the human history. Two main facts drive me to such a thought, the first is due to our innate capacity to react to the innovation in a way that safe our [...]

The ME problem

Another intriguing argument that needs some innovative ideas to solve, it is what is called the ME (Mobile Essentials) problem. “Mobile essentials” refers to the objects most people consider essential and carry most of the time whilst out and about, and the first time I read something about was in a Jan Chipchase (and others) [...]

I think that 90% of the posts I’ve read today are iPhone related. Yesterday I was following the Steve Jobs keynote and while I was listening at him my first reaction was “I want one of those. Now!”.
This was emotional. When the speech ended and emotions started to fade I came up with some more [...]
