“Good design is a crucial
business strategy”
Design is more than just
a pretty color. It is about
experience, usability and
easy use. These are the
things that will delight
the user and make the
difference between a
product that is ‘just’
possible from a technical
point of view and a
desirable product.
3. Gary Shapiro
“Always be a Ninja,
think outside the box”
Innovation is
important and can
happen anywhere. We
should embrace this
change, we are
changing the world. If
you want to be
succesful you should
aim for the trend or as
icehockey players will
say; ‘aim for where
the puck is going, not
where it is now’
4. Stephen Wolfram The Wolfram
Language is
developped to custom
compute answers to
questions. Apart from
Natural Language,
Algorithms and
Mathematics are part
of it too. If we look at
programs and
systems we can
discover new
algorithms from
within a
computational
universe we can
understand the world.
Just as looking at our
social universe will
help us understand.
5. Andrew Blum
So where is the
Internet, the
REAL internet?
It is the hubs, the
fibre optic cables,
the few buildings
across the globe
that actually
physically
connect one
network to
another. The
manholes where
the cables
emerge from
under the sea.
6. Marina Gorbis
The way we
communicate
has changed.
We went from
centralized to
a far more
social
structured
model. We
connect
through
engagement.
This
transformation
effects
Education,
Governance,
Enterprises.
We can shape
the future
7. Robert Scoble
With all the data coming from
new things like wearable
computing, socials, GPS and
sensors everywhere, we need
a new way to save and search
through al this Big Data.
Context will play an important
role in this. We will need
something to filter the noise.
“I just want it to help me have
a better time, now, here.”
8. Leonard Brody
The way we share and communicate online has changed our
behaviour significantly. ‘The great Re;write’ this time
entrepreneurs get to build the rules.
10. Loic leMeur
We are becoming a
sharing economy.
Today we have to
much stuff.
Technology enables
us to no longer own
stuff but to rent,
borrow or
subscribe to it. P2P,
trust is the new
money.
11. Kenneth Cukier
Big Data. Datafication. From
more and more data we can get
different new information. With
quantity comes new correlations
that can be signs for new values
and behaviours. Reuse and
datafy.
There is also a dark side,
privacy, ownership, and what if
we could be punished for future
possible behaviour. We should
remember that data is always
only a shadow of reality.
12. Jonathan MacDonald
With all the social interaction it is no
longer possible as a company to say
one thing while meaning another. So
we’d better say what we mean and
care. It will give you both loyal
employees and customers
Kei Shimada
For Japan, innovation is a long term
vision. It is something that we have
build an ecosystem around. There is a
lot of things we are already
experimenting with. The only thing we
really need help with is getting it
across our borders!
13. Kevin Hartz Technology brings
people together
and enables
companies to have
succes.
Most often it is
when a company
met with a
technological
opportunity that
succes followed.
Startup tip;
Investors bring a
lot of pressure,
hang in there as
long as possible,
focus on a market
fit first.
