Product Complexity, Product Development – And a Faster Car
Today is my car’s birthday. Since I brought it home, my little Honda has gone over 150,000 miles in seven years of service – much to the disbelief of friends who know my checkered past of vehicle ownership. I remember buying my car – at the time, it was the nicest thing I’d ever owned. Brand new, shiny and the …
Social Product Development: Quirky and PTC
Happy Friday – and what a lovely Friday it is. I have the feeling the folks at Quirky think so as well…with the announcement that they’ve just raised an additional $16 million in funding and a new TV show on the Sundance channel debuting this month, it’s safe to say that all of August probably looks pretty rosy to the …
Bees and Social Product Development…Really!
I had the great fortune this past weekend to attend a lecture given by Cornell’s Dr. Thomas D. Seeley on decision-making in honeybees. While I am very interested in the bees (yes I am), I couldn’t help but to let me mind wander to comparisons of human behavior. So what does honeybee decision-making have to do with product development? I …
Manufacturers Get Social
As our lovely, romantic Valentine’s Day holiday approaches, I have to admit I’ve strayed, Social Product Development blog. I recently contributed a guest post to Microsoft’s Vertical Industries blog: Manufacturers Get Social. The post is about the different interpretations of Social Product Development in the industry today – and the potential value of each. Here’s an excerpt: As a result, …
Putting the Social Back in Social: Collaborative Product Development
The other day, one of my Twitter contacts shared an article from Abhay Prasad, Senior Manager at Cisco, on the “Value of Social Software in Manufacturing” (published in Manufacturing Business Technology). The piece was an interesting look at the potential benefits of social technology across the manufacturing value chain. It said a lot of things I agree with – a …
Social: "A Trend to Watch" for 2011 (props to the Creo team)
I’m “officially” back in the office today, although doing my best to avoid friends and co-workers, as I’ve been lucky enough to get a head cold as a parting gift from my holiday vacation. Since I’ve lost my voice, I’m going to quickly pass the baton to someone else who has a lot to say – our own Geoff Hedges …
The Crowd: Who Are They and What Does It Mean?
I’ve been very fortunate to have been able to spend some quality time lately with folks much smarter than me – and while that seems to be the case more often than not, it does get my little mind turning. One topic that keeps popping up is “the crowd” – mainly, the definition of “crowd,” and what it means for …
From the Field: Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference
So as promised, an on the ground report from Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC), where PTC was honored as Microsoft’s Global ISV Industry Partner of the Year. And by “on the ground” I literally mean I am sitting on the floor waiting for my next session at WPC to begin. It’s been an enjoyable event for me personally – …
