   Market Trends 2021 and beyond

   Good day from Martinique. I’ve been on a hiatus for a few weeks as I wind down a multi-month project researching and investigating the state of ICT in the Eastern Caribbean, I hope you don’t mind. Rather than the 2,000-ish words I write here, I’ve written and re-written over 50,000 words in the...

   The state of Digital Transformation in 2020 and some follow-up on the disruption of Intel

   My apologies for the long lapse between writing essays. If I’m honest, the world has been just too much to afford me the mental space to think, write, edit and record these essays. I’ve taken on more responsibilities and simultaneously fell down the rabbit hole with the US presidential elections....

   Digital Commerce. Blockchain (again)

   If you listened to the podcast version, you’d note I added some music. I broke out my skills in Garageband to make a quick accompanying jingle to spice up the podcast. Let me know what you think. 🎵 On to this week’s topics. I’m astonished I didn’t get roasted for completely dissing Blockchain as…

   The tale of Intel’s disruption and Blockchain is useless

   It’s good to be back. I decided to take a summer holiday, of sorts, retiring myself from the pressure of writing these articles. If you know me, you’ll recall that I’ve pretty much not had a holiday since I started my professional life—much to the consternation of my family. So I decided to take…

   The digital Caribbean and the digital reality

   Today’s essay is a slightly longer one, it’ll take a couple more minutes to read than is custom for my essays. The subject is broad and couldn’t be condensed without losing some of the finer details. I hope you don’t mind. This essay is based on a small presentation I did to talk about COVID-19…

   Digicel’s demise (not) and the data-only reality

   Hello from a severe Saharan-dust-cloud-covered-Caribbean. A once-in-a-50-year event according to The Guardian. COVID-19 has accelerated the use of digital throughout the world, the question is, is the Caribbean ready for the change and made the recent difficulties at Digicel a cause for concern?...

   Can digital conferences work?

   I look into the conference bundle and how the digital twins stack up I’ve had a tough time being productive over the last few days. The events around the world currently are a lot to process, and as I’ve said before, I’m not the type to react instantly with hollow missives. I need time to think...

    Normalcy after COVID, Productivity in a COVID world and a quick take on Apple’s new toy. I’m not sure we will ever go back to the normal we used to have.

    Pandemics, Liberty and Digital Transformation (Narrated)

    One of the things that us in the western hemisphere hold dear is freedom. In some countries, it is taken to an extreme by its defenders who fight for their right to do stupid and dangerous things. But that’s beside the point. When we talk about freedom in a digital context, clearly the very...

    The Great Lockdown

    There is only one topic at the moment, its effects are so wide-reaching that discussion about almost anything else will have some relation to the virus SARS-COV-2 which causes Covid-19. That’s why this week’s issue is not exclusively about Digital Transformation. Let me just start by saying, that...
