I have recently seen a number of articles on the death of PowerPoint or how terrible PowerPoint is and I just had to counter with … I love PowerPoint! PowerPoint is an amazing tool to support presenters or present insights in a more visually appealing way that a 50 page text heavy word document –Continue reading “Yes I love PowerPoint”

Mobile reception – not all there
Last week I read with great joy that the big mobile networks and the UK government are finally going to try to improve the mobile phone networks in rural parts of the UK. Rather shockingly 1/3 of the UK has patchy or non-existent mobile reception! Unbelievable. Sadly I am currently part of that 1/3 ofContinue reading “Mobile reception – not all there”
Watch out pharma
Today in one of my mentoring sessions we were looking at the use of Artificial Intelligence in the pharma industry. This in itself is a fascinating area to look at but equally fascinating was the discussion the topic generated – namely the changing dynamics of the healthcare industry and the pharmaceutical industry’s continued snail paceContinue reading “Watch out pharma”
Monday motivation
One of my main activities at the moment is supporting clients set up and run Reverse Mentoring programmes. As part of this one of the things I do is lead and support groups of Mentors, many of them digital natives, and part of this includes building and driving an online community for them. Today IContinue reading “Monday motivation”
YouTube Healthcare
Like many of us I have often struggled balancing regular exercise with a busy work schedule. This is especially an issue for me as my sport of choice was swimming and the only time the pool here in Zurich is not like the Gotthard Tunnel during peak times is mid-afternoon. I must also admit thatContinue reading “YouTube Healthcare”
AR versus VR
This morning I was reading about the difference in opinion between Apple’s Tim Cook and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg on whether AR or VR is the future. In my opinion they are both the future in their own different ways and for different audiences. As an owner of a Samsung Gear VR I have to sayContinue reading “AR versus VR”
The era of digital nomads
In December one of my main client contracts will come to an end and as such I have been slowly starting to think about what I will do next year. Much as I love living in Zurich it is a very expensive place to be based without a permanent job so I am toying withContinue reading “The era of digital nomads”
The value of respecting your customers … in pharma
My last post was all about the value of respecting your customers, particularly if you are an airline, and was based upon my terrible experience with Turkish Airlines. To complete that article I should add that my experience with Turkish Airlines continued to be bad including during the flight with some of the most inedibleContinue reading “The value of respecting your customers … in pharma”
The value of respecting your customers
The news is currently awash with a spectacular example of a company failing to have any respect for its customers. When #United decided to have a paying passenger dragged off one its planes to accommodate employees, whom the airline felt had more right to be at work the next day than said customer, they showed aContinue reading “The value of respecting your customers”
De Puy and their patients
This morning I spotted an article in The Telegraph about how patients may have been fitted with faulty hip replacements due to a manufacturing error at the De Puy plant. According to the article De Puy is not being exactly responsive in answering questions on this and may have known about the problem for some time.Continue reading “De Puy and their patients”
