Erosion of manners...

Lack of obvious needs to rely on each others (in other words lack of  obvious selfish reasons to consider the fellow human being since he/she will in turn consider you) is eating the human societies from inside - only small signs like above mentioned here and there now... but creepy feeling that it is indeed getting worse as we go :(
It will get worse if parents are stopping teaching their kids those manners which aim to make everyone's living good, not just your own.

Last weekend I observed a 35ish farther, in a fully packed supermarket, filling the whole corridor by walking sloooowly hand in hand with his small children... maybe 4y old boy was dragging a small shopping cart quite obviously running it to people as they passed them and occasionally to the store shelfs, stopping shortly every time to look back at the incident. Farther quite obviously knowing what was going on but not giving a damn...
Young and old, male and female, stopping in doorways in public places to fiddle with their mobiles or to chat with someone blocking the whole doorways...
People walking in groups straight "through" you without any intention to make room for other walkers...
Garbage dumped straight out from car windows or from pockets...
Totally wreckless and mindless driving in our practically empty roads...
Lots of really clever drivers having the intellingence to pass verybody else in the highway exit queu and taking the last possible turn to the exit into the front of all those less clever who queu...
Yep it has always existed but I have a pretty definite feeling that never in this scale.

...and it has a name - innovation trauma

Professor Liisa Välikangas writes about "innovation trauma" in Tekniikka&Talous.  Innovation trauma = utter disappointment in the minds of people involved in corporate internal start-up when it has failed and been closed for reason or another...

Sunray (cloud computer) within Sun Microsystems as an example:
 "(After the failure) Some of the members (of the extremely hard working team) just made a conclusion that now I am wiser and from now on I will never do any innovation work. Others just left the company. The fact, that the reasons and consequences of the failure were not analysed, lead to cynisism.
Innovation trauma must be treated, so that also those who gave everything for the project get over it. Innovation is characterized by not meeting the targets. That means that lots of traumas are created. When un-treated, these will lead to bitterness. Most talented people leave the company, and company is left with those people who have never tried anything new and thus not been so heavily disppapointed."

Another piece to the puzzle of how Nokia Ventures Organization could have been improved.

8th anniversary of blogging

Today it is 8 years from starting this blog... has been worth of it. Still the best way to dig into some memories, observations and thoughts. The "publicity" has added the crucial momentum which has kept this process ongoing (unlike many other things I have tried to keep doing).

For 8th anniversary a video worth of wacthing for all of us now: http://vimeo.com/55073825

Should a few days period in Space station be mandatory for all leaders - prime ministers, presidents, CEOs of global companies, the bankers especially :)

"In every society, manufacturing builds the lower middle class. If you give up manufacturing, you end up with haves and have-nots and you get social polarization. The whole lower middle class sinks."

In a way very depressive to find much wiser men backing up your own long time conclusions.

The scale....

Parkour makes me always think of the amazing scale which exists on human capabilities ... easy example of that scale - of course exists in pretty much everything we do.

Size matters

"It does not really matter how I live and what choises I do - I am only one of 7 billion. Not to forget that real 'stuff' happens anyways on industrial level."

Interestingly, now when our survival starts (again) to be the issue, the size of humanity turns out to be a key handicap... Instead of all of us thingking that if we all do few small changes now voluntarily we can have a huge effect, we tend to think that our actions do not matter when there is so many of us.

But then again, hasn't it always been so that greatness/size is the main source for destruction?
Big leads to Blindness which can lead to destruction.

Good feedback can be bad for you and your cause

Following lesson learned from the last 2 years when trying to build a start-up: getting positive feedback can make you loose momentum, slow you down. It can make you wait for the progress to just happen, wish and assume that now someone is also doing something for you.  Whereas negative feedback kicks you to move, tune, re-adjust, re-think, try harder.

In other words, if you get positive feedback but it does not result as an immediate and obvious urgency from giver's side, you should either move on or re-think your offer to get the "Let's grap it/him/her so that others don't get it".

Future does not look bright ... seems to be more important to get re-elected than make really rough decisions. I wish that EU leaders would be willing to be as tought with this dead serious matter than with saving €.

Weird stuff...

Just wondering wtf is going on. I have had too many visitors  (yesterday 70 and all from Chile) from topblogstories site... which turns out to be a porn site. Why and what in there is driving traffic to here?? Googling for this site explains parts of it http://thenewfr0ntier.blogspot.fi/2013/05/miscellaneous-malice-topblogstoriescom.html 
I do understand that one scams traffic in but the concept of driving it out does not open to me?

Anyways makes me feel that I am being "hacked" or scammed  somehow....

Flickr is back! at least for me....

I have been looking for a reason, for a kick in the butt, to start sorting out those pics I want to remember out of my about 17000 pics. New Flickr is the reason. Savotta alkaa.

Brilliant(ish) ad... distributed directly to mail box. Written in dialect. Good selected points to emphasize quality and pride of their work. Makes me want to buy from them even though I don't even have anything they could paint :)

"Worshiping Old Testament's golden calf has been replaced  by new and heartless equivalent of worshiping money and faceless dictatorship of economy without true human goal."

From today's papers....

Tough to beat view from home office :)   Nice place to read the papers too. Some thoughts to be remembered from today's papers

 TT: "These gents (Pythagoras, Erastothenes et. al .) had big ambitions. Their working day did not (only) consist of tuning the process or optimizing the oliveoil reserves. Dad calculated today the volume of the earth. Pretty good subject for dinner table."

TT: "Intelligent person succeeds in his/her studies, gets good grades and good jobs. Our society's top positions are manned with intelligent people. We should not have any worries.
However there lies a problem. According the studies, person's whose IQ is over 120 and extremely seldom creative. Eduard De Bono speaks about 'intelligence trap' where intelligent persons fall into. For the following reasons: intelligent person gets used to being more knowledgeable in groups, he/she wants to shine, not wanting to learn from others ..."

From HS's review of Dan Brown's newest: "There is another surprise in the plot. It hits you like a modulation in a song in the Eurovision song contest, which make you excited one more time, even though after 400 pages the stuff starts to be a bit embarrassing"

John Cleese about the creativity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9rtmxJrKwc (via HeGe via Janne)

"I think it's easier to be creative if you have other people around to play with. I always found that if two or more of us throw ideas backwards and forward, I get to more interesting and original places that I would have ever gotten on my own. But there is a danger. A real danger if there is one person around you who makes you feel defensive, you loose the confidence to play. And it's goodbye creativity. Always make sure that your play friends are people that you like and trust. And never say anything to squash them either" https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=f9rtmxJrKwc#t=1640s


creating a Space Time oasis, getting into the open mode, being playfullness, not being scared, accepting that silly, illogical, wrong is OK, confidence ... = recipe for creativity

Balance of giving and getting

Remembering old "prepaid-thought", brought another self-evident insight back to mind. It's interesting how sensitive some of us are and some of us are not to the balance of giving and getting.
For those who are sensitive to this balance, their giving starts without any kind of obligation to get back.  But if they sense that they are not getting back equally, in the long run, trust is gone forever.

For those who are not sensitive to this balance getting is just a natural to take if somebody gives.

I am surrounded with givers (=I have surrounded myself, we have chosen each others) which is very nice. Comfy. But it's also too easy - barely ever I  have to fight to get back. It it shows.



Givers and takers rarely make up a long lasting team to go to a pub :)

"Lataa puheaikaa" ... Load/Earn talk time

When I was younger (and I'd like to think also significantly more stupid), I thought I have endless talk time with my fellow beings in my own little universe.  "Of course they would be willing to listen my points of view, my ideas, my complaints, endlessly." It lead me into some serious personal dead-ends.

Sometimes by the end of my Nokia era 2007, I finally started to "understand" that human relationships resemble somehow interestingly prepaid subscriptions. Your "subscription" has to have talk time loaded in order to deliver your points. Talk time can be loaded by good deeds, by really listening, by creating value to others, by performing well. If you run totally out of talk time, then you are probably very close of being completely through with the relationship, be it in an organization or in your personal life. You can talk but the reception is lost.
After understanding this (which is probably self-evident for many) I have learned to keep my eye on my prepaid balances - I am trying to give time for loading, try to really listen, to give back, do good for others. By mastering this, you get more time and also bandwidth.

The same principle works for tones of discussion. It's a thin line between being considered "constructively critical" or just "Nothing good ever comes out" (=negatiivinen, nillittäjä, ilkeä, kateellinen,...) . In order to be considered "constructively critical" you have to load your prepaid with pretty massive amount of results, good deeds, positive views.


Somehow this Ville-Tolle thing reminded me of this thought. To me personally, Ville earns his talk time by being genuine - by revealing his thoughts to a more or less open debate. Simply that has value in here, in the land of open people.
Tolle had a point, I believe. But he/she has totally used his/her talk time for his/her single point. By not giving anything out except his/her obvious dislike for Ville, she/he has turned into another shitty voice in the web. No real difference to any forum with hate against eg group of people. Except style. If I forget the context, I did laugh while reading his/her later stories.

Engineers way of seeing things :)

FB fragments - shoemaker's kids do not have shoes

Facebook fragments my "memories". For my primary "memory", it's way too now-service despite of its' timeline. It has too much ad hoc, less significant input...
Always the same story - talk something to your customers, do the opposite yourself :)
"Remember that whatever content you create, have a primary spot for it in your own media, and if you want conduct eg the discussions in FB".

"on se hieno" .. Helsinki moment pics part xyz

You get props over here?

It does puzzle me ... us all, about 7 Billion, in the middle of absolutely nothing, trying our best to kill each other, to get the most for me myself and I ... 

Looking at "facts", it's pretty obvious that we all should stick together in this little blue-green ball in the middle of hostile emptiness just in order to survive.

About 6 Million Finns, population of about a half a size of a big city, spread in a very large area, mostly trying to "flatten" at least those who are too open, too optimistic, smile too much, are obviously too happy... and call it criticism.Looking at "facts", it's pretty obvious that in order to succeed all Finns should really fight together for common good. Encourage each other, learn from those who blossom. Replace at least some of our "criticism" and keeping-it-real attitude with pure positive US style optimism. The Beatnuts – Props Over Here
Just a thought to go, there are corporates whose workforce is 1/6 of our total population. 

Ville and Tolle...

I really appreciate and admire Ville for doing it all in his www.villetolvanen.com. Experimenting yes but still putting it all in. Especially since there is really no need for that eg businesswise. Often a flow of thoughts but/and also often thoughts generating.

I have had many good laughs with Tolle tollevilvanen.wordpress.com - parody obviously but still somehow good stuff. Which actually makes me question myself - am I so full of consultancy bs that his/her writings also seem to make sense really? Worrying.

How about for example this pearl: "Leader's task is to recognize a genuine smile." It's brilliant... even though I don't know if it's from some leadership book or not, but then again what would not be from one of them (there are so many) and who cares - I found it from Tolle.

It just is more credible when it comes from the "bankers"?

http://www.gmo.com/websitecontent/GMO_QtlyLetter_1Q2013.pdf
"GMO is a global investment management firm committed to providing sophisticated clients with superior asset management solutions and services. We offer a broad range of investment products, including equity and fixed income strategies across global developed and emerging markets, as well as absolute return strategies. Our client base includes endowments, pension funds, public funds, foundations and cultural institutions."

The message that we must now really act to avoid the end of our current civilization is somehow much more credible than coming from people devoted to the cause only?

Unfair competitive situation: news business vs UGC

Bumped into this old thinking from my MTV3 presentation... still valid. Sort of.
I claimed that competition in news business is unfair - in favor of UGC. Existing companies cannot survive as they are now.

UGC: no org, no cost structures, driven by personal interest, volunteering, looking constantly for new biz models, ultra local/ultra targeting, always someone in place, no obligation for neutrality/source critique, spreads like hell, expert on micro level, capability to adapt to constant extremization (is that a word) of content, language of the day, technical flexibility
New biz companies: Organizations/hierarchy, cost structures, job/salary/interest, working hours, fixed biz models, serving all, send a pro on site, responsibility for correctness, pro in macro level, journalistic principles dictate borders for content's groovyness, good language, IT systems...

This was 3 years ago, and now I feel that many news companies have taken the wrong  pieces from UGC to compete in the world.

Handling customer complaints in style - the best marketing your money can buy?

We talked with Tero-Markus about recent personal and also common experiences with products and services. Earlier Pasi shared an Aussie blog post about how a particular Italian company handled customer's problem: http://www.groundswell.fi/sim/2013/04/10/this-is-how-you-create-advocates/

Tero-Markus made a brilliant observation and conclusion about the talks - in this age of digitally connected super fast social networks, the best marketing company can possibly buy/pay for is dealing with customer complaints in superb manner.  Quality of course has to be in order (so that this will not become too expensive), but that must be the case anyway in constantly more competitive markets.
Every complaint is an opportunity to
1. anchor the customer's loyalty
2. get the most convincing voice and message to social networks about the trust worthiness of the brand

Would be interesting to see if the real marketing ROI would improve in many cases if (big) part of brand's advertising budgets would be moved to customer care/service companies instead of eg display advertsing.

This should also actually include other operations in the company. An example - we filed a patent to US via big patent firm having small "starting" operations in Finland. Not to go into further details, these guys have done pretty much everything totally wrong when thinking of the bigger picture for their company in Finland - just for the sake of few thousand €s they have done everything to assure that our personal professional networks will at least not hear anything good on working with them. Instead of considering our disagreements as sort of marketing chance offering a powerful tool to market eg outstanding customer orientation to other start-ups and professionals in bigger companies they chose to, well,   twist and shout.



Taking also into account that every complaint is also a thread to loose the customer for ever and even worse make him/her as credible anti-advocate for your cause, this is really a no-brainer: investing in treating you customers superbly is money well spend in marketing.

One big "Easter Island"... it is not real as long as it does not happen to you

International mining corporations and Government in Greenland are preparing for all the new land revealing itself from currently melting ice. That massive ice mass is melting.
The rest of the world is speculating that if - and increasingly now when - we keep this CO2 pace, the big ice masses will start melting.

It's not real as long as it does not happen to you. All our science, culture, wealth, light speed communication and access to about all information has not changed this. We are one big Easter Island.

"Inaccountability" (not a word but does the job for me)

What is common with
Increasing amount of young and older people just bluntly dumping their garbage from their cars to the streets?
Massive amounts of garbage revealing itself under the melting snow everywhere?
People, even older ones nowadays, stopping to chat in doorways ignoring everybody else?
Too big amount of faults in buildings and houses a.k.a. the new default is complain to get what you bought?
Needing to get your car re-serviced after the service since there is something that didn't get fixed?
Endless meetings with no real decisions?
Or selling something with a "ageless quality" promise but failing to live accordingly?

Answer? Not being accountable individually of our actions to others and community/society.
We are loosing rapidly the sense of being accountable for all our actions to others. Besides the obligation we have also lost the value of accountability (being able to trust on other rational mutually benefitial behavior).
Based on everyday evidence, too many individuals have lost it already in way too many areas of life. Too few are teaching it to their children?

Companies are loosing it increasingly - in their operations and in their marketing. It's enough to just get things sold even if (when) it means empty value-phrases. And wow what an amount of empty corporate and brand value phrases we have nowadays. And it's not anymore even the golden age of corporate slogans... Big companies and brands can get away from their "lies" because we tend to not believe them anyways? But for small companies acting in a limited and competed market, value accountability is still a life-liner. Especially in this digitally socially connected era = fairly many people will hear an individual complain and peer-valuations weight a lot in plentifullness of everything.

With all out culture, science, high tech, education and "civilized ways" is still so that only massive crisis drive us accountable again? If so - depressive.

ps. as an after burn (from writing to Ville's blog) - could we as an ultra small nation have an edge if we would lift accountability back to it's old value?

Blogging...

I was given an opportunity to write to someone else's blog - Ville challenged me to write about personal professional "agony" regarding trying to start new businesses. Since Ville's blog is widely read and commented unlike my own, it force me to think about my motives for blogging. This blog really just exists to support my memory and it works well, surprisingly well. Some theoretical social pressure (I don't want to have a ghost blog) keeps me documenting my  more or less random thoughts and experiences. Writing to another blog which is actually read is a totally different thing. Why would I do it? For begging attention? For marketing myself as an OK expert? I could not think one really good reason to write but "Why not?" won :)
Writing itself turned out to be be good thinking process. Reading comments and writing replies turned out to lead further into thinking. Nice. Thanks Ville!

And the text to to be stored: "Killer's instinct with killer's soul."

Voisimmeko kompata toisiamme?

Tapasin Villen ja vaihdoimme kuulumisia. Keskustelut olivat ns. elossa, maailmaa syleileviä ja mukavasti vähän sieluakin tutkailevia. Eli siis innostavia kuten Villen kanssa aina. Kuitenkin lopuksi ilmaan jäi Villen toteamus: “Tuomo, kirjoita tuska ulos. Jos et kirjoita, minä kirjoitan sinusta. OK ilman nimeä mutta kuitenkin.”. Vaihtoehtoina ovat nyt siis joko kirjoittaa itse tai se, että Ville kirjoittaa jotain kohta viisikymppisen diplomi-insinöörin tuskan todellisista taustoista. “Turvallisuussyistä” valitsen ensimmäisen, koska uskon pystyväni uuttamaan tuskasta mielestäni pari ihan relevanttia kysymystä. Nämä lopuksi, mutta ensin tuska pois ja taustaksi kuten Ville kehotti.

Olemme viimeisen vuoden rakentaneet ja koestaneet kolmen hengen porukalla mainonnan tarvelähtöiseksi kääntävää, harrastuksiin keskittyvää sisältöpalvelua, jonka kauniina ajatuksena on tukea erityisesti kivijalan kauppojen markkinointia verkossa. “Kolmen hengen porukalla. Just.” kuluu tänne asti viitsineiden päässä. Haastettahan tuossa olisi ollut ns. riittävästi hieman isommallekin yritykselle, mutta sydän nyt vaan sanoi, että yritetään nyt. Ei lähtenyt. Aiemmin olen ollut yrittämässä kahden hengen voimin saada alkuun vanhusten, yksin työskentelijöiden ja luonnossa yksin liikkujien paikkatiedon lähettävän hälytysrannekkeen kehittämistä. Novelty ja markkina sille tunnustettiin, mutta ns. instanssien rahat olivat jo kiinni vanhan lähestymistavan iteraatioissa. Nyt sen kaltaisen tuotteen näköjään juuri toi markkinoille The Civil Rights Defenders (CRD) -ryhmä – keskeinen oivallus siitä miten vältetään turha akun virran syöminen on sama.

Tämän tiedän kuulostavan todella pollevalta, mutta nykyisen Androidin kaikin puolin aika lailla yksi yhteen kaltainen käyttökokemus ja -liittymä ideoitiin neljän hengen tiimillä vuonna 2005 WidSets nimisessä mobiili-palvelussa. Markkinoille palvelu saatiin aivan loistavalla laajennetulla tiimillä Java sovelluksena kaikille puhelimille. Palvelusta olisi tullut suoraan myös melkoisen etulinjan mobiilikäyttöliittymä applikaatioineen, applikaatiokauppoineen ja push notifikaatioineen. Suht’ merkittävästä käyttäjäkunnasta huolimatta Nokialla ei ollut tarvetta (tilaa) palvelulle eikä myöskään nälkää hakea silloin mahtavan Nokian S60:n tilalle mitään.

Tunnustan julkisesti jomotuksen olevan edelleen niin paha, että on pakko todeta jääneensä jossain määrin menneeseen kiinni. Suurin piirtein samaisella pienellä ydinjoukolla työstimme ennen WidSetsiä älypuhelimen kaveriksi iPODin “tappajaa”. Ei tullut konseptista tappajaa mutta kuollut kyllä, viime metreillä. Aiheesta eli ei jomota erityisesti ja monenlaista oppia tuli roppakaupalla. 2008 yritimme kaverin kanssa aloittaa klassisen musiikin pelastamisen Internetissä nykyisestä (anteeksi) kevyen musiikin ehdoilla tehdystä kaaoksesta. Laajasti esiteltiin ideaa ja keskusteltiin sekä todettiin se tarpeelliseksi kaikkien mielestä. Mutta ei se sitten ollut kenellekään riittävän tarpeellinen. Paitsi edelleen klassisen musiikin kuuntelijoille – siinä muuten olisi edelleenkin niin makoisa hedelmä poimittavaksi. Ja juu, olisi siinä markkina – maksukykyisiä ja oikeasti maksuhaluisia ihmisiä, jotka olisivat valmiita mm. ostamaan samat kappaleet moneen kertaan eri esityksinä jos vaan löytäisivät niitä ja ovat valmiita kuuntelemaan kappaleet livenä muidenkin kuin alkuperäisesittäjien versioina. Selvästi kova jomotus päällä tästä.

Tuskat summaten totean, että aika paljon erilaisia ideoita on tullut yritettyä ja aina epäonnistuttua. Syy on ollut ilman muuta omissa puutteissa ja väärissä tavoissa toimia sekä ajoituksessa. Ja ei voi muuta kuin vain todeta kaiken evidenssin osoittavan, että en ole ajatuksen jonkin asteisesta lentämisestä ja kokemuksestani huolimatta oikea ihminen yrittämään. Tämä on tuskallista myöntää.

Erittäin hyvä ystäväni, ympäri maailmaa töissä kiertänyt, mielestäni vähintäänkin vahvasti nerahtava Väisäsen Pasi totesi ongelman olevan siinä, että meissä molemmissa on annos tappajan vaistoa muttei tappajan sielua. Ostan tämän ajatuksen. Itse asiassa tunnen ison nivaskan kavereita, jotka niputtaisin samaan luokitukseen. Osuvia oivalluksia ja ideoita piisaa, esiintyäkin ja myydäkin osataan, mutta se kyky sekä halu “tappaa” puuttuu. Me tarvitsisimme mukaan niitä “tappajia” jotka vievät homman muodossa tai toisessa läpi ulkopuolisen epäuskon suon.

Nyt niitä kysymyksiä…

Onko niin, että pienen kokomme ja kansanluonteemme takia juuri meillä Suomessa ideoitten ja niiden läpi runnomiseen tarvittavien “tappajan sieluisten” suhdeluku ei ole kohdallaan? Jos näin, niin voisimmeko pärjätä paremmin uuden keksimisen ja tuotteistamisen markkinoilla, jos etsisimme myös aidosti uudenlaisia tapoja toimia uuden liiketoiminnan etsimisen alkuvaiheissa, emmekä pelkästään kopioisi toimintamallia muualta? Voisimmeko saada kilpailuetua, jos myös monenlaista kokeneille mutta “nimettömille” tekijöille olisi olemassa yrittämisen ilmasto, missä et lähtökohtaisesti ole DOA liiketoiminta-ideoitten kanssa?

(Isossa) Maailmassa itse ideoilla todellakin on arvoa, näin uskon. Maassa, jossa uskon olevan liian vähän “tappajan sieluisia” ja kauniisti sanoen tietynlainen ilmapiiri suhteessa ideoihin, “pelkkä tiimi ratkaisee – ideoilla ei ole mitään väliä“-messu rasittaa, ei rakenna. “Ihan hyvä idea mutta onko teillä todisteita, että pystytte eksekuuttaamaan?”-messu on ymmärrettävä, mutta ei rakentava.

Tehdään yhdessä enemmän toisiamme kompaten ja vähemmän kampaten kiinnostavia juttuja eteenpäin,

Tuomo

ps. Samsung rekrytoi parhaillaan Suomeen seuraavasti: “The main purpose of the Outsourcing function is to identify and recommend new innovations for next generation mobile phones and tablets. The key function of the role is to ensure that Samsung Mobile secures innovative new mobile technologies from Europe prior to its competitors.”  Niin, kai se “tappajan sielu” voi olla yrityskin? Mutta kun sitä vaan jostain itsesuojeluvaisto syistä haluaisi, että sitä innovaatiota oikeasti skautattaisiin tänne prior to foreign competitors…

Ne solmivat yhteen paikalliset ja maailmanlaajuiset internet-verkostot, ne solmivat yhteen henkilökohtaiset verkostot, ne väreilevät uudenlaisen vallankumouksen sydämenlyöntien tahdissa, vallankumouksen, jonka vallankumouksellisin teko on se, että se on itse luonut itsensä."
