Opportunities Through Product Licensing
This document discusses product licensing as an opportunity for businesses to grow their brands. Licensing involves a contractual agreement where one business uses intellectual property like a brand name, patent, or design that is owned by another entity. The document outlines opportunities for businesses to become either a licensee, by working with a brand to create new products, or a licensor, by leveraging their own intellectual property to drive revenue. Key considerations for licensing include selecting the right product categories, partners, and commercial expectations.
The Journey to World Class Performance
The document discusses strategies that various companies have used to achieve world class performance. It provides examples of companies in different industries and their journeys towards excellence. Some common best ideas that emerged include establishing a compelling shared vision, focusing on continuous improvement of processes using tools like Lean and Six Sigma, developing a customer-centric culture, committing to environmental sustainability, and learning from other top-performing companies.
Water Footprinting - Reducing costs and safeguarding against future legislation
The document discusses reducing a company's water footprint to lower costs and prepare for future water legislation. It notes that water supply is under threat from increasing demand and climate change, and that water abstraction, supply and discharge costs will rise. Legislators want users to pay the real cost of water they use to reduce consumption. A water footprint identifies how much water a company uses, directly and indirectly. Calculating a water footprint can help lower costs through identifying billing inaccuracies, leaks, and efficiency improvements, while enhancing regulatory compliance and sustainability credentials.
Government action to incentivise energy efficiency and deliver deregulation
The document summarizes recent UK government actions to incentivize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions through regulations and initiatives. It outlines the government's commitment to legally binding carbon budgets and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. It then describes several key policies and programs to encourage energy efficiency among businesses and industry, including the Climate Change Levy, Climate Change Agreements, EU Emissions Trading System, and CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme. The document also discusses proposed regulatory simplification efforts and outlines new initiatives like the Renewable Heat Incentive to support energy intensive industries like ceramics.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
