  • Presentation: It's not what you know, it's how you show.

    WordCamp Kent 2019

    This was my first time presenting at a WordCamp, although I’ve attended at least a dozen over the past five years.

    The talk is a mix of content marketing, network science, and community-building. It encourages you to consider yourself an artist and walks through what that means for how you build a network.

    Special thanks to the WordCamp Kent 2019 organizers for giving me this opportunity to present to the WordPress community on Father’s Day 2019.

  • The Changing Landscape of Software Development: Building Schools of Goldfish, not Thoroughbreds

    Special Interest Group on System Analysis & Design Symposium

    Bozan, Lyytinen, Rose and Mount (2018):

    We review the contemporary landscape of software development practices, methods, and products using the quad-core IS innovation model framework that evaluates the pervasiveness and radicalness of innovation in system development. We find that each innovation type and sub-type are affected by a host of new practices and products that have emerged during the past decade suggesting a deep and pervasive change in software development practices…

    Bozan, Lyytinen, Rose and Mount (2018):

    We review the contemporary landscape of software development practices, methods, and products using the quad-core IS innovation model framework that evaluates the pervasiveness and radicalness of innovation in system development. We find that each innovation type and sub-type are affected by a host of new practices and products that have emerged during the past decade suggesting a deep and pervasive change in software development practices, methods, and products. In all categories IT innovations prove to be radical in that they cannot be substituted by earlier innovations. The study organizes the IT based base, process, and service innovations to a hierarchical classification as to highlight their depth, breadth, and radicalness. Another observation is that finer granularity is need in Type II innovation type (IS services) in light of emerging new AI and IoT based services.
