Week 4:5

A few days of sunny weather on the trot but nobody is calling it a heat wave.  People are lolling about on the grassy banks and standing with their faces up, eyes closed, in the sun while outdoors having a fag.

As someone working with this concept of entrepreneurship, I think I have duties.  One of them is to practise, to be active, to be bold.  Can I conjure more hope?

A researcher doing work on the fear of failure asked me if he could interview me on: “have you ever had an entrepreneurial idea and not acted on it?”  And I have.  Many really but the most recent is one that I have really looked into.  Next week I am going to attend Thinking Digital 2012 and, since this is a digital idea, a digital book idea, I am going to hunt down a collaborator.  As a sideline to my main job there which is to meet people who are active in the health and digital sphere.

That brings me to the second case study that I am writing.  The one about using technology to join up service provision in the care industries.  So that people working with children and old people and those managing chronic health issues at home and all the providers in-between can use the same data but maybe see a different view of it, have different rights to it, and feel comfortable with it.  I will never look at the pigeonhoes with my files in at the doctr in quite the same way.
