We are having some fantastic spring weather here in Belgium. Almost summer time with blue skies and temperatures of 25° C. But it is still spring. End April 2011. On top of it, I took some days off during this week. I am usually very lucky when planning my days off: the weather gods are [...]

In September this year, I was attending the BIF-6 Summit, in Providence, RI. Why only report about it now ? Because they finally released the videos of the stories that were told at this year’s edition of BIF. Next year’s edition BIF-7 dates will be 21-22 Sep 2011, unfortunately the same week as Sibos 2011 [...]

These days, when i kick-off an innovation workshop, i ask the participants “tell me about your hobbies/interests when you were 16-18 years old”. The answers and the resulting effect are surprising. First, it opens up people in a way they are not used to. The come out of their “i-am-at-work” comfort zone. Some people that [...]
