Innovation and me in 2019

I believe that every single item you enjoy in any capacity today initially would have frightened the conservative or excited the early adopters when presented before its invention or at concept phase.




And nothing much has changed in the human reception of pioneering  innovations.  Now the playfields are broadest and inclusive of super technologies and with developements based on notions ( and through absolutes established from data) of what people need and certainly of what we want.

Design thinking, Industrial Design and bridging what's possible between nature and technologies makes current  innovations some of the greatest delivered to humans.

To appease human nature, a bunch of add on's to core innovations have been factored in to engage the senses keeping you convinced and connected till innovation supersession does you part.

I'm told that great tech and design connects with you easily and even before you  consider it. This is seen with psyche interpretation playing its own part and, for example, how restaurants of the future will be able to determine your feelings and thoughts proceeding to make fitting order suggestions.

You won't even realise it but something would have read your thoughts - literally.
Innovation, and for some,  Invasion at its best.

On a separate note, my past week also saw a former employer and colleague, Jens Martin Skibsted, win a gold at Germany Design Awards for his Electric Vehicle - Biomega's SIN launched in Singapore earlier. It was also through Jens that I got my introduction and dose of Innovation & Design from Africa even though I was already close to innovation centric fraternities in SA directly and indirectly. His insights & platforms just hit the ball out the park in terms of what I got to see, learn and to know of great innovations.

Elon' s new drop also lent to an impressive week.

Innovation in the space of basic human needs also sees me head out soon to another country where the developments could possibly take humans, through industry & basic intervention, to a well being considered as next level.  It is exploratory and at pilot stage. Let's see.

Earlier this year you'll recall me being exposed to (and the reason for heading to Dubai) where a group from Europe converged and I was invited to consider a part relocation for a blockchain based and lifestyle centred innovation. I knew a lot more than presented on Blockchain thanks to and after attending the Swiss SA Blockchain event at the JSE which made me  ask the right questions.

All in all..

I will say that 2019 was a year of Innovation from start to end for me.  This upcoming week also sees Renle launch its battery energy storage systems too. A big global shift in energy considerations and in the space of clean energy options.

I know that I want for my 2020 and beyond - great Innovations to continue to impact lives positively,  to unite us through human connection & in aiming to make lives happier by providing solutions to critical and basic global human needs.

In making the world a better one for us all.

Have a great week ahead.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
