Strategy Should Not Revolve Around IP
March 18, 2009 by Mary Adams · Leave a Comment
There’s a new book out called The Invisible Edge: Taking Your Strategy to the Next Level Using Intellectual Property. It reflects the authors’ deep knowledge of the IP space–Mark Blaxill and Ralph Eckardt, both formerly of Boston Consulting Group.
Their website includes some of the patent visualizations used in the book that were developed using a system that Eckert helped develop at BCG. There is real power to the drawing which show the network of intellectual property rights in specific industries.
But looking at these visualizations Read more

Protect Us from Financial Innovation
December 8, 2008 by Mary Adams · Leave a Comment
Ken Jarboe at the Athena Alliance had more to say here about financial innovation and also links to an article here from last year by Professor Elizabeth Warren of Harvard Law School who suggests the need for a “Financial Product Safety Commission” saying “If it’s good enough for microwaves, it’s good enough for mortgages.”
I recently posted here about Much Reviled Financial Innovations. My point is that we cannot blame the technology of financial innovations and throw it away. But we should blame the people that are hawking poorly developed versions of the innovations. What Jarboe and Warren are saying is related: we need to be very systematic about looking under the hood of these innovations. Process and technology are intertwined in the intangible economy and we have to get better at analyzing both.
A New Approach to Annual Reports
December 4, 2008 by Mary Adams · 3 Comments
I recently happened upon an interesting site that I somehow hadn’t found until now called Report Leadership.
It was a joint effort last year by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the Corporate Reporting group at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and the design firm Radley Yeldar.
The group took it upon themselves to build a new annual report. The site explains their thought process and includes a sample web-based annual report for a fictitious company.
Having been a consumer of annual reports since my early career as a high risk lender, I can tell you Read more
