How MIT succeeds thru "Collective Action"

As I have been riding across the wild west of Innovation-Driven Enterprises since before it was an acronym (IDE for those keeping track of TLA s), a few resources have proven consistently helpful. MIT is on the top of that list. But with the exponential expansion of Technology, it is difficult to keep up with all your best options. So, their MIT Innovation Initiative is at the center of not just MIT, but the very systems and methods for success. See - https://innovation.mit.edu (click to enlarge) MITii has databased and assessed it's way to being the hub of innovation. Just check out their "Resources" tab.

Re-Building Right With Blockchain

It's NOT about the crypto currency rollercoaster over the last few years, Enterprise Blockchain is used as the ideal foundation to re-build the awesome digital mess we have created. Yes, we should have built the Internet with distributed ledger technology (DLT) transparency and security... but it is here now and being applied by those that understand that "Digital Transformation" is NOT just a buzzword when blockchain is used properly. DLT is most relevant where velocity of trust is a valuable asset and market differentiator (hence, Financial and Insurance deployments).

Trust... Earned

As the Digital Services Industries compete and collide , I am optimistic again about how you can be valuable well-paid "Creative Technologists." Thanks to Rupal's riffs in AdAge on 6 ways Ad Agencies earn respect by delivering results from ideas. Key line: "Execution turns out to be harder, more strategic and more valuable than everyone thought and ... it's what clients are coming to agencies for." (FYI, what qualifies Rupal is her years as an industry journalist and then realizing the best way to provide value is to work directly with the digital developers) This is what the most ambitious and successful Agencies are providing: a safe havens for creative problem-solving with a diverse and appreciated workforce led by sincere leaders that get out of the way of empowered teams focusing on their mutually beloved clients and their bottom lines. Well, that IS a lot...perhaps I have "guarded optimism." It's now up to you to play well with...
