Welcome to EMC Consulting Blogs

Thanks to all of you that have emailed me regarding my post, I do enjoy the emails that I receive from around the world - and there were a number of questions posed that I decided to add as a supplement Blog post to the original post from yesterday... First off, questions around the iTunes image that was posted... I used to live in the ...

With Midem  only two weeks away, the South of France will again, be a stage for the music industry to work itself into a frenzy to figure out the best route forward into discovering how to rescue itself from the brink of its own self-importance/ destruction.

What is great about running a blog for almost 5 years, is you can look back and see if you were accurate in your thinking and future strategy planning, or not. Back in August 2008, I wrote a couple of pieces around the emerging Cloud trend. Fast forward to 2011, you can't go anywhere without hearing anyone's thoughts, views or own service in the ...

We live in a connected planet - one world, one voice? Perhaps not, but technology has enabled a wider reaching voice, a voice of the previously muted, gagged, censored... but no more. What has technology unleashed? A torrent of people round the world sharing images, stories, support, freedom and some heartfelt plea's, but not for money, but to ...

What else is bubbling away in the darkened beanbags in Silicon Valley that is blending the Geek thinking with your average consumer of social stuff... Facebook  developers have been busy creating some great applications and platform developments, as they continue to rally to Mark Zuckerberg's vision of Facebook being the next pervasive ...

I realized that I haven't been on here since 2010 with a post about how times have changed within Retail where it used to be a big NO having cameras in your store http://tinyurl.com/Madman2010 Since then, I have blogged elsewhere, written papers, produced music and other good stuff...
