		<title>What is your I2Q</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was in college there was a systems thinking exercise designed to reduce the number of complaints that were being made about how slow the lifts were in a local office building.

		<title>It&#8217;s just business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When customers come to visit us I am always interested to know why they choose our venue over theirs. Usually they just want to get out of the office and today is Friday after all. Today&#8217;s visitors were here for an altogether different reason. They wanted to see how &#8220;real&#8221; we were. You can tell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The European Union of 27 member states, home to the Euro, soon to be the world&#8217;s most important currency, with free trade enshrined in its constitution has one serious handicap to pan-European business: roaming charges!

		<title>Required requirements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was interviewed by the trade press about Requirements Management. Of all the areas in IT today this is the one that is in most serious need of attention.

		<title>Disruptive Innovation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disruptive innovation sounds like a contradiction. It is a way of thinking changes how we see technology.

		<title>Carpe diem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In high schools everywhere the graduating class elect a valedictorian to speak on the class's behalf about their dreams and aspirations for their future. It is a great honor, it often changes the chosen speaker in quite profound ways, and often starts them on a journey of leadership. maybe you were your schools valedictorian? Whilst many of these speeches follow familiar themes, world peace, elimination of disease and hunger, the one thing they always come back to is living up to your potential. Though less well known in the UK, the Latin phrase Carpe Diem, "seize the day", finds itself in almost all of these graduation speeches. Everyone expects it, some even count occurrences as a drinking game (!), but few hear it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When someone says &#8220;in the roaring 1920&#8242;s&#8221; we can immediately relate to the era of speakeasies, dancing the Charleston and silent movies.

		<title>Observe, Orient, Decide, Act</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Colonel John Boyd, USAF, left us with two interesting legacies. He was the most successful combat pilot in history and yet never shot anyone down. And he developed the OODA Loop theory for air-to-air combat which fundamentally describes how modern businesses must survive. Known as &#8220;40 second Boyd&#8221; because he could shoot down any opponent [...]]]></description>
