Head of Digital. Or any other senior C-Suite role which has the word ‘digital’ in it. There is no digital, only strategy. Having a Chief Digital person is a bit like having Chief of Industrial, or a Head of Electricity. Which clearly sound ridiculous. These are not departments, but an integral part of the infrastructure. If a company has a head of digital means they still don’t get it after 20 years.

Wow, it took me until February 20 to actually write a New Years post. Happy 2016! After joining a WordPress hosting company, I thought I might have a bit more time to blog, but getting ramped up takes time. So far so good and so far very busy! There are lots of things going on at work and in my life, but most of you probably wouldn’t be too interested in hearing all about that stuff, so here are some fun & interesting articles that people have sent me or I’ve randomly discovere

I’ve written about Attention Deficit Disorder a couple of times. How to Know Whether You Have ADD & What to do About It. Why ADD Might Actually Benefit Startup Entrepreneurs.
