Beyond the event horizon

The other week, I was asked to review a scientific article, providing a topic explanation all the way from high-level concepts to the latest cutting-edge research. As is often the case with these things, it became quite technical by the end, with plenty of references, footnotes, and citations crediting information gathered from elsewhere. Outside the topic itself, the arc of the explanation was also interesting. It followed an inverted pyramid shape—starting with general, well-known concepts, before delving deeply into specific… Read more

Outlandish Predictions 2025?

After New Year, but before that first Monday back at work, we enter a twilight zone. There is nothing more to celebrate… the mince pies, still stacked high, are on sale… and it can be easy to be just kicking around the house. For many, of course, this is a great time to get out, head to the January sales, do jobs at home or even dare I say some DIY. Others are happy to get the jump on work,… Read more

Still, it made a nice change from all the anxiety-laden discussion about the budget mind you, which was finally delivered mid-week after about 3 months of talking about it….… Read more

Embracing thinking… carefully

All of a sudden it seems to be events season (yes there is an event season). I have been on the road quite a bit recently, and away from the office.Whenever this happens what always strikes me is just how inefficient all this travelling is. At your desk, it seems easy to keep up with all the tasks, but step away, once you are stuck on a train or in a live presentation and the whole routine falls apart… However… Read more

The Future? From the Back of the Bus?

It’s been a hectic few weeks; there seem to be events everywhere. It really does feel like there is a ‘conference season’. As overwhelming as these can feel, by listening, closely, we can often use these to pick out many new ideas, so something to embrace… and for me it started last month. Coffee, Cake, Repeat To be honest, I am still feeling somewhat burnt. Generative AI, a topic, in reality, that had been around for a while, only seemed… Read more
