Welcome to IAM Talking, a periodic podcast interview series, with your host, Dan Keldsen, Co-founder and Principal at Information Architected. Today, the topic is Business Model Innovation – White Space and You. In this episode, I am interviewing Mark Johnson, the author of a new book, Seizing the White Space: Business Model Innovation for Growth […]
Look around – is there waste in your organization? Is it time, paper, bits of plastic, scraps of wood, nuclear active material …?

Have you ever watched the TV show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Adults subject themselves to humiliation – demonstrating how their intelligence – measured by their ability to answer questions on a variety of topics, does not match that of a group of 5th graders.

The Content Convergence Continues!
