Disruptive technological change is occurring at a pace quicker than ever before. Technology is levelling the playing field between incumbents and start-ups alike, eroding many competitive advantages and pushing some once successful corporations to the brink of bankruptcy. To combat the threat of disruptive technology, fresh strategic thinking and technological insight is paramount. It is these types of challenges that excite me; where discussing these problems is key to this site's vision.
Today I am studying for an MSc in Computer Science at UCL, working and thinking about strategy in and around my studies. With this site, I hope to share my thoughts and knowledge; with an aspiration to engage a community of other strategy and technology enthusiasts.
All this site’s content is categorised under four main areas of interest.
Discussing topics around innovation, business strategy and digital transformation. Crafting thought pieces, digesting and summarising relevant books and analysing business movements, with a view to stimulating discussion.
Discussing the lastest industry trends in technology, focussing on enhancing business performance and decision making.
Showcasing my latest development projects, including websites and apps. I want to advertise my work and help pass on my knowledge as I continue to mature as a hobbyist developer.
Dedicated to inspiring designs across a range of disciplines; providing some food for thought and artistic stimulation - we all need a break sometimes.
My latest thinking around the topics strategy, technology, development and design. I welcome your thoughts and feedback in each post's comments section. Have an idea for a future post? Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
My most recent papers on strategy and technology. These articles constituted part of my work towards my Engineering degree at Bristol University.
With the rapid fall in Li-ion energy storage costs and the continual price rise in energy bills, now seems like the appropriate time to investigate the feasibility of using energy storage to reduce costs. By understanding the advantages of using batteries and alleviating risks through modelling, the full value of energy storage can be understood and implemented.
Many once highly successful companies now no longer exist, caught out by changes in the marketplace. Understanding why these companies have failed is crucial to preventing the repetition of the same mistakes. Establishing a culture that nurtures disruptive innovation is key to survival. Today, Industry 4.0 is accelerating the speed of change, bringing innovations to the market quicker than ever before. Companies must appreciate how industry 4.0 will change their industry understanding the effects of; globalisation, increasing competition, increasing consumer expectations and advancing technologies Industry 4.0 offers. Case studies of Blackberry and IBM provide examples of companies who have either failed or succeeded in responding to disruptive innovations in their industries.
