Singularity University has been talking about purpose for some time now. They describe a focus that is audaciously big and aspirational, causing significant transformation to an Industry, community, or the planet. There is a clear “why” behind the work being done, something that unites and inspires action. They call this a Massive Transformative Purpose.

Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT This is an annual bag of goodies. Highlight #1: retail stores are closing at record pace while Amazon opens stores. This is such a huge trend because it transforms stores from a mini-warehouse into something else: a destination for experience, service, and training. Think Apple store with the highest sales per square foot, genius bar, classes and a showroom. Amazon has pushed its Amazon GO, no lines, no registers concept and it is rolling it out slowly. This is just the beginning...

This post explores the pyramid of digital needs. Based on personal experience and observations, I describe what this hierarchy may be composed of, map technologies that support them, and offer an initial analysis of the impact on individuals and businesses.
Farid Mheir's insight:
This is a new concept that I have been thinking about for a few year and that may help explain why some persons are not ready to have a Facebook account or share on social networks.

Raffi Khatchadourian on Nick Bostrom, an Oxford philosopher who asks whether inventing artificial intelligence will bring us utopia or destruction.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Perfect Sunday morning reading which is guaranteed to make you reflect and ponder for the next weeks. The article is a typical New Yorker one, very well researched and written. So captivating that it got me to start reading the book which appears to be as captivating and surprisingly easy to read and understand. I love those finds and have the feeling this book will be the best complement to "Singularity is Near" and "On Intelligence" that I wrote about in the past.

Technology for baby monitoring, wellness improvement and other activity tracking has seen a huge number of new products at the CES show in 2017. Here is the list of finalist for best BabyTech of the show.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Babies are inherently fragile and require attention. It is natural for parents to want to monitor and stay connected with them. Technology is the most natural way to provide solutions for parents that increasingly want to stay connected even when they are away. This has become a huge area for developments and improvements, as evidenced by the large number of startups at CES this year. Must watch for the future.

Today, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals wearable sensors and, more specifically, to a network of wearable sensors for recognizing and tracking movements and exercises. Instead of limiting athletic sensors to running shoes for joggers, the new sensor system will expand and support sensors that could be worn by athletes of all levels to measure important workout data related to floor exercises, weigh
Farid Mheir's insight:
Apple has filed a patent that describes a network to link to the various electronic devices we wear.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Our body will soon become the center of a digital network, connecting the devices and sensors we wear but also I assume the ones we will have implanted in our heart, brain, muscles, etc. Much like the enterprise and the car have needed a network to enable and make communications seamless, this has the same potential.

Recent ADA-related challenges raise questions over corporate initiatives designed to improve employees’ health.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Excellent paper examines the legal issues that companies can face when implementing voluntary or mandatory wellness programs in their organizations. Goes further by suggesting ways to prevent litigation.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT We wear all kind of devices that track our behaviour and can help us get in shape and improve our well being. The more these devices become accessible and cheap and the more companies realize that they benefit from having healthy employees, the more we will see a pressure to include such devices and services. Questions and solutions raised here should thus be part of every digital strategic plan.

Appirio 400 employees were offered free FitBit device for free and in return they got a 5% reduction in their insurance premiums. Similar program for BP America 24000 employees and relatives. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Again here the debate is how much is your personal information worth to you? We'll get more of these programs in the coming years so we all have to start asking ourselves how much we are willing to pay to keep our personal data private...?

2015 MObiLe PRediCTiONs: feW fiRMs WiLL eMbRaCe The MObiLe MiNd shifT Mobile reached a tipping point in 2014 as it solidified its position as one of the most disruptive technologies for businesses in decades. Not since the advent of the Internet has a technology forced businesses to completely rethink how they win, serve, and retain customers. Forrester believes that in the future, the new competitive battleground will be the mobile moment. Why? Consumers expect to engage with brands to get any information or service they desire, immediately and in context. Today, 18% of US online consumers have this expectation, while 30% are in the midst of a transition to this mind shift.1 This revolution is taking place quickly around the world: Forrester forecasts that 42% of the total population globally will own a smartphone by the end of 2015.2 Forrester also believes that in 2015, the gap will increase between marketing leaders who re-engineer their businesses to deliver valuable mobile moments and the majority of marketing executives, who will continue to take a myopic approach by considering mobile as just another digital channel. Leaders Will Re-engineer businesses To deliver Mobile Moments Next year, we expect smart marketers to shift their focus away from mobile apps and instead re-focus their sights on first-party data; privacy; analytics; brand experiences; and the broader digital business transformation underway and the role mobile will play in it. Mobile-shifted marketers will strive to build valuable mobile moments that extend beyond mobile phones, apps, and websites and will depend heavily on massively responsive data services and systems of engagement internally.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I don't like predictions but this article is a bit different as it lays down "actions for marketers" - and they also apply to other groups in organizations, especially IT and CIO. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Mobile cannot be an afterthought and still requires a lot of care to execute properly. Forrester also raises some very interesting examples such as: "Mobile-enabled business models will disrupt the value chains of entire industries. AliveCor’s $199 heart monitor, plus a mobile phone, offers a $4.99 alternative to the $200 to $300 price tag of a traditional cardiogram, in addition to extending the service to those consumers without access to medical facilities."

WHY IT MATTERS: AI will replace many human activities - from driving trucks to auditing accounting books. Futurists predict that new jobs will emerge, jobs that today do not make sense but that in the future will become essential - same way that our ancestors in early 1900s would not have believed that data scientist or software programmer or webmaster would exist today...
