Surprised, because I share almost the same interests as you - management consulting, innovation management, IT enablers of innovation - specifically Web2 and Web3. I live in Singapore and am registered for my PhD in which I am working on the impact of Web3 on leadership and innovation. Would be interesting to share thoughts with you. Hi Sean,

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across your blog. Surprised, because I share almost the same interests as you – management consulting, innovation management, IT enablers of innovation – specifically Web2 and Web3. I live in Singapore and am registered for my PhD in which I am working on the impact of Web3 on leadership and innovation. Would be interesting to share thoughts with you.

]]> Comment on The returns and costs of collaboration by Nick Jenkins http://www.bluethots.com/2009/11/05/the-costs-of-collaboration/comment-page-1/#comment-91906 Nick Jenkins Mon, 03 Oct 2011 04:31:57 +0000 http://www.bluethots.com/?p=593#comment-91906 I think your article says precisely nothing. Yes, collaboration costs - that much is self evident. Breathing also costs, as does thinking, talking, writing doing and a few other things. The real question, and one which you don't even attempt to answer, is whether the benefits outweight the costs for the majority of teams. I think your article says precisely nothing. Yes, collaboration costs – that much is self evident. Breathing also costs, as does thinking, talking, writing doing and a few other things.

Superior performance outcomes and superiority in production resources reflects competitive advantage. I recently read an interesting post by Codebaby about “Your Competitive Advantage Is Your Customers Buying Experience” http://codebaby.com/cbBlog/2011/04/26/competitive-advantage-customers-buying-experience/ that I thought you would find interesting.

There are fundamental differences between what a Data Warehouse is for and an Operational Data Store. Additionally throw in there a tool such as TM1 (the in-memory analytics you're talking about)and you've got different tools for different jobs. Suggest you read some text from Inmon or alike on what: a) Business Intelligence is b) What the differences (and overlaps) are between Operational Reporting, BI and Corporate Performance Management c) Characteristics of a DW etc (i.e. slow changing dimensions) Hi Sean,

I do see some issues like branding, support and warrant but that requires more investigation. @Matt, nice to hear from you. Hope you had a good break. I am with you on this. I really do hope that Australia people and government doesn't get sucked in. I have bought most of my stuff last year online and that includes stuff like business suits and couches. Retailers need to improve efficiency, marketing effectiveness, reduce costs and have effective campaigns. They talk about buying overseas is un-Australian. But if Australia is not competitive in the global market, there will not be a Australia to be un-Australian in future. @Eric, you have an interesting perspective the re the dropshipper / white labeling.
