Innovation in politics

This morning I was driving to the office and was listening to a radio program talkiing about politics. Basically they were saying that politicians in Italy are among the oldest ones in the world. That is true. You can simply have a look at Senato della Repubblica or at the Camera dei Deputati web site […]

Change your Mind

As the motto of the International Exposition held in Chicago in 1933 boldly proclaimed, “Science Finds — Industry Applies — Man Conforms.” Probably we are all sons of that period, all the information collected in years and years of study and experiments are now collapsed into the net, and we are the one that use […]

Virtual reports and innovation

Sometimes innovation manifests itself in strange ways. I have to say that my friend and colleague Frangino (you can read his blogs here and here) pulled another rabbit out of his hat. Most of us did not attend the 3GSM World Congress this year, and Frangino came out with a 3GSM virtual report collecting informations […]

Friends Generated Content. What's next?

Yesterday I talked about how User Generated Content will fit in the mobile ecosystem. Today I would like to go a little bit further with some considerations. It’s perfectly true that you may be much more interested in content generated by your friends than in content generated by unknown people. I also said that the […]

Friends generated content

For several reasons I will not be attending the 3GSM World Congress this year. From the reports that I am reading from the Internet there is great focus on Media and Internet companies. Yahoo, Disney, MTV have their own booth at 3GSM and all the recent press releases talk about these companies and their initiatives […]

I started thinking to one good point for discussion that sounds like “which is the best reward for an innovator?” Does it arrive at the end of a good job? In order to find the proper answer let’s try to define a good innovator profile, understand him and then pay the bill. How to recognize […]

Technology is there

Yesterday night I had a dinner out with a friend. He was a former research fellow at Olivetti in the shining days of that company. Obviously we ended up talking about innovation in mobile phones and I shared some of my personal views on the subject. All these wonderful web 2.0 applications that are coming […]

Don't be tempted!

If you work in an innovation team or you do some kind of research and development, chances to have direct contact with Senior Managers is quite high. There is something you can easily fall in temptation with. After some time you will know pretty much everything of your Senior Managers. What they like and what […]

From Genesis to Revelation to Innovation

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 […]

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 […]
