Do you want me in a meeting? I’m there. Do you need my POV on something? I’ll offer it. (sometimes, ok most of the time, unsolicited) Do you want me to share something on email, social or make a phone call? Done.
I rarely pee alone at work.
I imagine my experience is not unique. (Any)day 8AM – 60 minute call 9AM – 30 minute call
Don’t think design thinking matters? Neither did the Oscars.
Last night two of Hollywood’s aging darlings were set to announce best picture. I am sure you know, it didn’t go well. Besides Steve Harvey being replaced as the most visible announcement gaff, there is a silver lining for those of us who live in the digital and design world. A real world example of…
Ignoring time management screws others- but mostly your reputation
I am writing this while I am waiting for a meeting to start where the organizer isn’t present. Let’s see how far I get. Communication is at the center of business. Emails, SMS, snaps, IM’s on any one of 10 different platforms, social media – they all tell other people things we are thinking. The…

Above is the first time I have ever acknowledged I am an Apple fanboy. People assign me the label, often to my face, often not. I’m fine with it. I try to explain I am a fanboy of quality and things working. I rarely get my point across. I run windows on my MacBook Pro, jailbroke
Don’t feel too bad, even NBC can’t get #CX right for something as obvious as the Olympics
People laugh in my company when I make sports analogies. Sure I play into it, but watching sports to me is a pretty low priority. I joke that I’ll watch pros at their chosen craft when they come watch me. And to date, that hasn’t happened.
A Retort Sir: Content management systems are NOT killing creativity
A colleague shared with me an article by Mark Gowland on Venture Beat claiming that “Content Management Systems are Killing Creativity” – a claim that on its face could seem, if not reasonable, then certainly plausible.

Lessons in Customer Experience (CX) from the Denver Blizzard of 2016
It’s been years since I have dealt with weather delays of this scale. And, the first time I have been in any airport that officially closed. A thousand flights were cancelled.
A retrospective of the Google micro-moment Kool-Aid | Customer Experience
If you aren’t aware of micro-moments, well, I’m not sure where you have been.
