I'll present a keynote at Tech Summit Amsterdam tomorrow (March 28). The title is '5 Practical Steps To Ensure Your Corporate Innovation Program Is Not Killed After 18 Months' (yes, that's a mouthful). I'll explain how to get your corporate incubation program

We've discussed for years how Silicon Valley and the local fauna of tech bros have become a toxic force for the global innovation ecosystem. From focusing only on short-term pizza-delivery businesses, building up unprofitable platforms trying to blitzscale their way to de facto monopolies, or pure and simple

For the last five years, I've been trying to decide if I would entirely stop working with startups, keep a regular but minimal activity, or keep on trucking and running (or participating) in various programs totaling about 120 startups a year. Spoiler alert, the answer is a little

This is a quick update to signal that I'll speak at Tech Summit Europe, Amsterdam, on March 28. The event is held at the Postillion hotel and business center in the city's south business and financial district (about 20 min away from the central station with

💡I just made a quick repository of all my articles related to ChatGPT. This is for myself and future reference, but you might find it useful too. I've also added articles about digital strategy and why such generalized deep learning AI is a game-changer for the business models

In January 1896, the Lumières brothers had the first public viewing of a ground-breaking piece of technology. "L'Arrivée du train en gare de la Ciotat" (The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat) was a single non-moving fifty seconds shot of the mundane entrance of a

I was just reading an article on The Verge that I both personally 100% relate to, but that is also a hard digital business truth: on the web, no one wants to sign to your 'free' service. I don’t want to log in to your websiteJust say
While ChatGPT has been unleashed on the world, I started to read about European politicians and intellectuals demanding our version and asking why we couldn't invent it. This amounts to discovering a jungle and asking that we plant trees immediately to catch up ('sigh'). And while

Tim Rayner from Phase One Insight poked me recently to discuss an article on AI published at the beginning of the year. The article "The Third Magic" discussed many thorny concepts about AI and how we humans deal with knowledge, cognition, and power. Among (many) other things, the
