The Paradox of Preparing for Change
I love paradox. Here’s an example: the best way to prepare for change is to decide what isn’t going to change. Several weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to a gathering hosted by the Churchill Club in Silicon Valley. The theme of the gathering was “Changing the Game.” They gave me exactly...
I am in, John !

The Labor Day Manifesto Of the Passionate Creative Worker
[Three years ago today I posted A Labor Day Manifesto for a New World. In classic Hagelian fashion it was long and complicated. With the help of a few edge collaborators (Christopher Gong, Sarah Scharf and John Seely Brown), we've managed to simplify the Manifesto into some powerful imperatives...
Hi Chris,
Privacy may not be dead, but is at least very seriously challenged. Digital identity and privacy is one of my "home"-projects. I write quite a lot about it on my blog:

The end of privacy
I continue to be stunned by how Facebook and other social media allow me to see things in other people’s lives that should not be seen. For example, all of my friend’s friends photographs. This is a feature of Facebook I particularly dislike, and I’m not sure people are even aware of it, althoug...
The strength of Paypal is in its API's. If you look a bit closely to it, they carry the embryo of a messaging system that can be used for anything. Not just consumer payments. Already now with fork- and chain-payments. They indeed move up the value chain, and may soon attack the "plumbing" of the underlying payment systems. They are indeed typical example of Innovator's dilemma. But they are not a start-up anymore. Same effect as Salesforce: a 10 eyar old company with revenues now in the billions. They are crossing the chasm?

Why PayPal et al REALLY matter!
So yesterday I argued that PayPal and their brethren of social monies don’t matter. It was like unleashing the sceptical banker that I know resides deep within me, and it felt good. Then I got a dose of new reality vision (maybe due to so many comments on yesterday’s piece) and it felt not so go...

Why Heads of Innovation are actually Bottoms
Over the past year, most of the banks I deal with have dropped the word ‘innovation’ from their mantra. It’s strange but true that the focus upon being innovative had been such a focal point during the 2000s and now it’s all over. To illustrate the point, the Top 10 American banks used the word ...
