Here’s What’s Driving Collaborative Consumption and Where the Market May Head Next
I spoke this past week at the LeWeb conference in London, which was a superbly well run event with a very quality production team. Kudos. The 20-minute video of my presentation is here if you’re interested. And it was convenient for me because we also held our annual London board meeting of DataSift, who helps […]
The Future of Organizations, The Future of Technology
While attending HP’s Discover event (disclosure – HP covered some of my expenses for attending the event) in Frankfurt in December I was invited to take part in an interview alongside fellow Antipodean Paul Muller. The interview started off with Paul Muller explaining what he does in terms of looking at the macro trends impacting […]
O’Reilly’s Strata comes to Europe, with a very British opening
O’Reilly’s Big Data extravaganza, Strata, left its native U.S. for the first time this week, coming to London for two days of data; the big, the open, the structured, the unstructured, and the undecided.

I’ve attended both in the States (see disclaimer), and look forward to seeing how each sets about fusing the best elements […]

SOMESSO/Headshift Social Business Summit – a meeting of minds
I’ve been a regular at every SOMESSO event so far, and Lee Bryant kindly invited me to the latest incarnation last Thursday – a joint SOMESSO and Headshift one day Social Business Summit. Sorting out a very embarrassing attack of the ave.exe virus delayed me enough that morning to miss the two keynotes from Jeff […]
CloudCamp gets big in London
The global CloudCamp phenomenon went to London for the third time last night, piggy-backing on the QCon enterprise computing conference to secure space in Westminster’s Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre for the evening. Partly buoyed with QCon attendees lured by the promise of free beer, CloudCamp registrations were rumoured to be in excess of 800. […]
