In this video: The difference between design by democracy and design by dictatorship. While you must listen others input and advice at the end of the day one person needs to make the call when it comes to designing a logo. The more you let the decision be driven by a committee and appease everyone the less chance you have of achieving a strong mark to build your identity off of.
Design – Dictatorship vs. Democracy
December 2nd, 2008Provide Transparency into your services value
July 3rd, 2008In this video: I discuss a characteristic of Services 2.0 – allowing your customers to see the true value of the service you are providing to their company. It forces you to deliver value, encourages you to improve your offering and empowers your customers to be a smarter consumer of your goods.
Services 2.0
June 26th, 2008
In this video:
Everyone is talking about Web 2.0. I think that there is also Services 2.0. Business to business services delivered with web 2.0 technology, people, and process. Aggregating many small customers (under 5 person offices) and filling gaps in their business processes with transactional services provided as they need them. Here is a link to the blog post I refer to in the video evergance blog.

Hope Springs Eternal
April 2nd, 2007The season opener for the Chicago Cubs is today on the road. Home open is at Wrigley a week from today. There is always such optimism with Cubs opening day.
Below is a home video I came across today of the 1929 World Series at Wrigley Field. It features the Philadelphia A’s playing our beloved Chicago Cubs.
Here is to hoping Wrigley might host October baseball in 2007.
Time Person of the Year – YOU!
December 21st, 2006Time has decided that the Person of the Year is YOU. I could not agree more!
The talking heads on the FOX’s, CNN’s, and MSNBC’s of the world are saying that this is a joke and devalues the Time tradition of naming Person of the Year (it was Man of the Year till 1999). I’ve heard them say that it is a cop out. “How could EVERYONE be Person of the Year?”
Well, I think that Time is spot on. 2006 is the year that people realized that playing field has been leveled. No longer do you need a record contract to have a hit song. No longer do you need to be on Saturday Night Live to have you 4 minute comedy series seen by millions each week. No longer is the video footage on war what has approved for our sensitive eys. These things are all controlled by you. You create the media and you decide what to watch.
I say that Time hit the nail right on the head. We are all witnessing the transfer of power that is taking place in the Information Age. And that power is being transfered to you.
Maybe the talking heads on the FOX’s of the world are concerned and that is why they are calling it a joke.
Pretend you are Bono? Not a great idea for suits.
December 9th, 2006Bank of America and MBNA merged. Two corporate guys decided that they should write and perform a take off of U2′s ‘One’ to celebrate.
I love that they take it so seriously…
I love that they get a standing ovation at the end of it…
I love that someone leaked it so all of us could enjoy!!
