Hamish Duff — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 01:48:45 +0000

In the rush to get on board with the latest technology, many businesses find themselves stuck in a rut of confusing, incompatible systems and software. Worse, there are often incompatible views from the team on what to do about it. Sound familiar? It’s a common problem and one of the first things I’ll clean up when working with a company. Conflicting systems are one of those things that have a huge financial impact on your […]

Lessons from the Future (of Learning)

Hamish Duff — Tue, 14 Aug 2018 08:40:37 +0000

Well, the Future of Learning was certainly one of my life’s greatest learning opportunities. A very steep learning curve indeed! Together with Cheryl Doig from Think Beyond and our incredible team, we successfully ran a national conference focussed on learning, on technology change, on the likely impact of accelerating technological change on the intersecting worlds of education, business, and government. We had great representation from those sectors, with 240 attendees representing diverse perspectives and bringing […]

The megatrend of all megatrends is here. Accelerating technology change is set to affect everything about business; from the skills we need in the workforce, to the way we operate our businesses, the way we compete in the market, the way we engage with our customers and their rapidly changing expectations, and even the professions we choose as careers.

Immersive Educational Experiences

Hamish Duff — Thu, 31 May 2018 22:58:53 +0000

I’ve long been fascinated by science fiction, and wondering how long it will be until some of the innovations become reality. I’m not much of a movie goer, but with the release of the movie Ready Player One, I thought it was time I read the book – and I was pleasantly surprised by Ernest Cline’s insights into learning environments. The story essentially talks about a dystopian future, where people escape the drudgery of life […]

Recalibrate Your Business Technology for the Future

Hamish Duff — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 00:35:14 +0000

There is so much hype in the media about the future of digital disruption and technology change – mostly focusing on either multinationals or super cool start-ups wanting to make a few billion selling out to Google or Facebook. Many of us aren’t in that space; we run or work in stable small and medium size businesses – they’re the foundation of our economy, and employ the majority of us – but they are also […]

The Dirty “Little” Secret of Project Managers

Hamish Duff — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 09:11:21 +0000

This article is spot on and this should be acknowledged by business managers as well as IT: http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/03/the-dirty-little-secret-of-pro/ “Everybody knows the schedule is a joke, and we pay no attention to it. It will be done when it’s done.” Unless of course your project fits these criteria: The expectations of what the project is going to deliver are clearly understood and agreed by all stakeholders – business, IT and customers The scope of the project […]

Optimising the potential of your IT investments

admin_recal — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 00:00:29 +0000

I’m passionate about the potential for information technology (IT) to transform organisations. However I also believe that many organisations get IT wrong. IT projects fail to live up to expectations, fail to deliver the changes desired in the organisation, and suffer from terrible cost and time overruns. The resulting risks to your organisation from IT investments are huge. I have been working both within technology departments, and with business professionals for the past 20 years. I […]
