My Best so Far
For my readers, here is a compilation of my most popular blog posts thus far.
Silicon Valley Leadership: The Quest for a Legacy Team-of-Twenty-One Oracle: Next Stop Manhattan Affluenza Microsoft’s two should-be M&A considerations That Dog in your Portfolio SiP versus Structured ASICs Hey, CEO: Do you know how to Dress? Open Source of Book Publishing? SiP is a major discontinuity Mentor Graphics: Target for SilverLake? What’s after Starbucks?
Of these, the ones I enjoyed writing the most were Affluenza (which I wrote on a flight between SFO and JFK), and Starbucks (which I wrote on a Saturday afternoon soon after watching the film, Ray). Team-of-Twenty-One reflects my deeply held belief that cultures ought to be preserved, not destroyed. Hey, CEO … provides a value judgement on the importance of right-brained creativity and good design, something I treasure equally as much as all the hard-core science. That Dog … is being widely read as a management tool.
Anyway, thought you would enjoy this list …
