Innovation not spreading - got resistors?

In the context of information marketing

Joel and Rick discussed Rogers Curve on the Diffusion of Innovations. Pondering to make a Rogers Curve hat. Imagine that.

When passion and biz merge - got invited to speak - Feb. 24 in Tokyo

• How does culture affect business ethics?
• Where does Japan fit in?

These are just some questions to think about as we gather for the inaugural Executive Hirameki.

So it happened that SG (same guy) got together planetary super-luminaries to co-create a fantastic eBook: What Matters Now

Its format and message inspired a lighthearted hardcore group of triiibesters (said group SG founded) to join hands and create an eBook of their own.
