People have asked me “How can I get my execs to support an agile transformation? They don’t like that they can’t predict anything.”. Reframe the Agile conversation around value.

I'm a firm believer in needing to find your personal passion/skill/opportunity fit as the ultimate path to career fulfillment. Only when you find a career that you're passionate about, that you can also be skilled at, and one that has sufficient market opportunity will you achieve ultimate career satisfaction. And it takes a careful balance of all three dimensions because simply finding fit along one dimension unfortunately won't result in success nor fulfillment.

In a delightful new spot for Samsung’s Gear VR , an ostrich stumbles into a set of the virtual reality sunglasses, which click on and simulate that he is soaring into the clouds, a dream-like sequence all irresistibly set to the tune of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” After some time with the device, and a few trial runs, the famously flightless bird takes off, all to the tagline “do what you can’t.”.

These are my takeaways and personal perspective from a Fishburners ‘Learn From A Burner’ presentation given by Will Davies of Car Next Door ( car sharing in Sydney, Brisbane, & Melbourne ). Note that very little editing has been done and that these notes aren’t comprehensive. “The sketchier our flyers look, the better the results.” Will started his talk by pointing out that the following three pillars were the key factors to the success to date for Car Next Door (CND).

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.

I am on a plane half way around the world going to visit (yet another) tech company who is in internal disarray over the subject of who they want to be. Will they stay a product company who sells features or become an as-a-service, recurring revenue company who delivers business outcomes? I finally finish my email somewhere over the Emperor Seamounts and grab the Wall Street Journal.

Now that Millennials are officially the largest population segment, they can no longer be ignored. Organizations must come to terms with the idea that Millennials have different needs and skills, and make the appropriate changes in the workplace to maximize them. It seems that many businesses have a ways to go in achieving this, as research studies have shown that roughly 2/3 of today’s employees are disengaged in the workplace.
