Thanks to Tim Davies in the comments of “No to Quotas” for helping me see why I’m getting worked up about this one. Where is the problem that we’re trying to solve here? The problem with Innovation Edge wasn’t that the wrong people turned up. It wasn’t that certain groups or parts of society weren’t…

There have been a couple of times in the last week or so when quotas have been suggested for solving a problem of “fairness”.

Ouch! I’ve been trying to write something about this for a while but finding a title that didn’t mention VRM was important to me and now I’ve just done it, it looks scary but worthwhile. “VRM” (or vendor relationship management) as a term doesn’t look scary or even interesting let alone worth putting some effort…
I’m very honoured that Suw has asked me to contribute to her “panel” in Berlin on the tech gender gap (taking place on the Thursday afternoon). Here’s the description: “It is undeniably true that there aren’t enough women in tech, that women are not well represented at conferences, and often don’t get the promotions, rewards…
Walking past Elle on Wigmore Street, I actually looked in the window for once. Smack! went my gob.

Well Kat seems to like…
