Even the world’s most prominent expert can be better given the benefit of thought leadership and best practices from other fields.  I see it  all the time  as I [attempt to] explain the implications of abundant computing and the internet to executives and entrepreneurs.  Rock star global CFO, COO, CEO, marketing exec, PhD pharmaceutical researcher, etc.,  is blown away when I sit down and show them the computing capabilities available at little or no cost.  And these people are brilliant, so it is not a matter of cognitive capability.  Age does not explain it either.  In some cases, I have seniors who can go toe-to-toe with any alpha geek and in other cases, recent college graduates who haven’t got a clue.  So we will work on closing these gaps at Executive Engines.

Executive Engines is a forum to share ideas and to engage with thought leaders, through comments and guest posts.  Jump in.

Fair warning, I intend to play the role of provocateur. Edge cases and more extreme ideas tend to drive clarity and insight.
