But will it last? But rather than this optimism of growth being propelled rocket like into the stratosphere – the trajectory of growth is more like a balloon in the wind. It is likely to go up – but equally likely to dip, go sideways, up, down, up and down! This was the prevailing opinion during a recent trip to the US to the SGIA show. Unusually, SGIA took place in New Orleans. I say that as many Americans told me that they felt this location was wrong for an event. Why? Because the last SGI… Continue

Innovation is our road to recovery...

Innovation isn’t a buzzword created by marketers. It is a state of mind, an attitude and behaviour. Innovators don’t stop innovating just because the economy has got tougher. This kind of financial pressure brings out the best in an innovator. Innovation is a key ingredient of success and a key characteristic of a dynamic, progressive and desirable brand. GM totally forgot about the importance of innovation and reinvention. They got fat, risk averse and defensive. Had it not been for the i… Continue

Mediocrity can lead to stormy waters....

Having had a bad back recently, I decided I must take the plunge and go for a swim to ease the pain and set my ageing body back onto the road to recovery. I had a condition called a 'hurty back'. A condition that afflicts men only. Women just get on with it! Any how, I decided that swimming in the UK is not a pleasurable experience. Upon arriving pool side, bleary eyed at 06:40am you are presented with 3 narrow lanes. One for slow swimmers, one for medium and one for fast. I took the ‘safe’… Continue

High percentages say it cost more. What is it “Going green” (groan) or even recycling I have such negative results that many a times I might as well give up. But just like that bad penny it ke… Continue

Trying to keep up with technological innovation

Technological innovation is taking place in multiple industries – from handheld pda’s to twitter to wide format digital printing production. The digital technological revolution is racing ahead – but ‘Average Joe’ (0r the person who is not technically minded) has still not caught up with the creative and technical advantages that technology can bring you. I think most of us are too proud to ask (at the fear of looking silly) and too impatient to enquire. Whatever the reason, humanity’s migrat… Continue
