My ‘Innovation Culture’ course for Econsultancy is a full day of inspiration designed to help make your organisation more agile and inventive.

The course is running next on the 27th March 2012 and booking is available here.

Here’s some choice comments from the last course’s feedback:

“Very inspirational.”

Head, top UK financial services firm.

“I came straight back and put a few of the points straight into place today, as they really helped with a couple of issues I’ve been grappling with.”

Director, major global publisher.

“Thoroughly enjoyed it – I have plenty of takeaways too.”

Manager, large government department.

This course aims to guide managers and senior executives through the background of innovation culture, learning tools and techniques, through to implementing these in the organisation.

I’m really excited to be judging the Innovation Awards 2012 for Econsultancy along with the rest of the judging panel.

We’re not interested in the bog-standard email campaign or ‘been there, done that’ SEO program. We want the ideas and work that are changing the way digital marketing is practiced.

If you’ve broken a boundary, connected a new set of dots or overturned an apple cart this year, our panel of judges want to hear from you.

Entries close on October 21st.

I’ll be delivering a lecture on 21st September in Manchester with Econsultancy – about the ‘Internet of things’ – the next big evolutionary step for the web.

Plus, as if any more coercion were needed, there’s drinks afterwards – should be fun!

The Internet of Things – Will Grant, 3.00pm

The term Internet of Things (IoT) has been coined to mean an internet where devices (not just people) can communicate. Imagine being able to search your computer, not just for information, but for your objects.

All the technology needed to make this a reality exists, right now. Smart phones, GPS and Wireless. Large-scale databases and cloud computing. It’s just a matter of time and, of course, a business model.

IoT concepts are going to start appearing in mainstream devices and services sooner than you think – and this talk aims to set the scene, show some great examples that are already in use - as well as look forward to future applications for organisations and individuals.
