My path
I've been doing some thinking over the last couple of days about the future and what I'd like to do. On Wednesday, Alan Giles, CEO of HMV spoke to us in our "Media Strategy, Management and Regulations" class - a very good lecture I thought. Then on Thursday, Thomas Hesse, head of Sony BMG spoke with us. Yesterday we had the Oxford & Cambridge recruitment fair and this weekend is the Media Conference at the Business School.
You know what I really want to do?
The internet is a fascinating evolution of technology and communication which has exploded in front of our eyes. Ok, so I may have been one of the first people in Jamaica on the internet 14 years ago but for many people, and particularly companies it's still a fairly new, scary thing.
I want to help a company or companies to embrace and gain a competitive advantage through incorporating insights gained from the internet. The rise of blogs, the shift of the habits of many people to search for information online, the convergence of communications technology and the imminent (and painful and soon to be more so) realignment of the role of content providers is creating tremendous opportunities for companies which many are not seeing.
I want to help. And catapult the firms into the new stratosphere while doing so. Now to find the right company or consultancy, and convince them that this is a valuable thing to do and that I'm the right person to do it with them. Hmmm... easier said than done!
Next Thursday, the Science and Technology OBN has arranged a "Geeks and Grapes" evening where Oxford internet techies mix with business school entrepreneurs and we'll see what happens.
