Facebook showed me the success he had. All photos of smiling people, distant travel, children with straight teeth, impressive cars. And over the years we met and talked about work. Great guy, smart, very much goal driven, a road warrior like myself. So when he called to tell me they were in the middle of […]
The Tunnel is the Illusion
It started as a fairly typical technical project. They had heard about Machine Learning and wanted to first know what it is. So none of our usual business first themes, just straightforward machine learning and what you can do with it. Our CTO and team again did a great job and it resulted in the […]
Do or Do Not
What a great day this week. Privileged to be invited to talk to a great group of people about AI, Machine learning, and how to start the digital transformation needed to start using this all. New Tech from the business point of view. Is there another way to look at it? The audience was from […]

The travel agency was essentially selling trips to the promised land: the Great US of A, California, home of the garage startups, land of the customer focussed platforms.

Chief Subtitles
He looked at me with complete amazement. Bewildered. After doing the track for Business Process Management with me as lector he was used to me being a bit weird. But this one caught him off-guard.

Digital Off-The-Roadmap
“What are you thinking about?” Well, nothing really.Just tell me what you feel! Uh, uh, nothing at the moment. You got to feel something! Listen Woman: You have to go to mindfulness training, you do your yoga class, you do all the Zen stuff. And without doing all of that, I can just just sit […]
