BRAINPOWER 2010 New program on Jan 20 #SeltzerBP

I am really excited about the program that Seltzer Design has put together for next week on January 20 at 7:30 AM in Boston at the offices of Greenberg Traurig.

The panel discussion will address Visual Thinking to Communicate Smartly and Accelerate Understanding.  Panel members will include Annie Smidt from Seltzer, Clare McDermott from SoloPortfolio and yours truly.

In our work and in our book, Michael and I have increasingly come to rely on visual representations as a way of communicating complex ideas. This is especially true in helping companies to understand (and therefore be able to improve) their intangible capital.

I will be sharing some examples of visualizations we have used in the past. It is going to be interesting to then mix this up with the work of a professional design firm.

Seating is limited to if you are interested, best to sign up this week. More information and registration.

The Answer to Your Questions Is Probably Inside Your Company

There was a great story in the NY Times awhile back about the new co-CEO at Motorola, Sanjay Jha, Strategy of New Chief at Motorola Appears Poised to Pay Off. It explained:

Looking back, Mr. Jha said that Motorola was in worse shape than he knew when he took the job, largely because of a dysfunctional management culture that missed the shift in consumer preferences from phones intended primarily for talking to those that do nearly everything a computer can do. The company’s engineering talent, which had once developed great phones, remained intact, he said.

As luck would have it, one of those engineers, Rick Osterloh, grabbed Mr. Jha just as he stepped off the stage at that first town meeting in August 2008. Read more

Intangibles and Airplane Security

Last night on NPR, I listened to a report on the heightened security measures that are being put in place in airports around the world.

Listening to the report, I couldn’t help but think that our leaders are getting the balance between tangible and intangible efforts wrong. Read more
