This blog is a weather watch on business conditions, primarily with a focus on small and medium sized businesses. I am interested in economic conditions, new products, technology deployment in businesses, and finding ways to reduce risk.
I am associated with the Harbour Forum site, where entrepreneurs meet to discuss dealing with problems that they are confronting. I write documents for the site’s library, ranging from operations management to accounting and technology issues.
Many of my postings are excerpts and summaries of longer articles in the library, but I also tackle more general societal questions as well. I have a particular interest in business as a creative process, and freedom through self management.
Update : January 2008
As the blog unfolds, quite a number of our members have been asking me to act as some sort of interface between them and the internet world of business blogging. They claim to not want to be out of touch, but also are not prepared to invest the time to set up a Google reader account or a bloglines account - let alone read them. So lately, I have started to post here about some of the things I come across. I’d call them lazy if I didn’ t know how hard they actually work! Hmm, maybe I’ll charge them - hear that Vapour?
So, on top of the plan series for forum subscribers who claim to to be afraid of spreadsheets, I have members afraid of bloglines. I will get to the stuff I also want to focus on - psychology, neurology, network and graph theory, and global trade models… I’m sure I will . . .
