Social Technology Rant

A client recently asked me to help them understand “Multichannel Communications” – you can also insert “360 degree campaigns” or various other buzzwords of choice here. Below is my response. Much of it has been delivered before, but the message doesn’t seem to be filtering through to industry as a whole (perhaps due to social […]

Industries that should definitely not be part of the capitalist system

Capitalism as a whole encourages psychopathic organisational behavior as illustrated very well in “The Business”. This is not conspiracy only logic. The economic system dictates behavior, our behavior (due to our understanding of this system) is often driven by money. Where there is no longer a market, a market needs to be created. There is […]
