Mathias Holmgrem interviews Bonnitta Roy, originally published as a single article on crisp.se Part 1 of this article is here. Can you give us a short introduction of your experience and what you enjoy working with? I have always been fascinated with the natural world. As I child I would spend summer evenings watching ants come and go, carrying their eggs, building their nests, foraging for food and occasionally squabbling over territory. This led to an attraction toward natural systems design in gardening and farming, but also as it applies to companies, education and community associations. I studied neuroscience and

New uses for sensors are being created all the time; from marinas using them to increase safety by guiding yachts boats into place to taps in the public toilets. Animals are also being used as sensors. There’s a type of bird whose migration pattern can predict when hurricanes will hit months in advance. Estimates based on these birds’ migration patterns are even better than that of meteorologists. As humans we rely on our senses to understand the world around us. We can process a lot of sensory information and integrate it with prior knowledge. Our neuron’s electrochemical impulses travel so

From time to time I get very frustrated at the ability of consultants and academics to correctly diagnose reasons for failure or success with the benefit of hindsight but fail to realise why the diagnosis of itself is not enough to make a difference the next time round. The latest example of this is a useful article in the HBR titled The Power of Anomaly. The authors are all Boston Consulting Group and as a sidebar I am noticing a trend in HBR to be, shall we say ‘more open’ to such authors. One of the reasons why I have

I originally intended to publish this post way back in May and got all the notes together but a mixture of work pressure and ill health (a bad foot infection now resolved) have hit the backlog. If you have to spend two weeks with your foot elevated and iced taking strong anti-biotics its too easy to neglect things but they never go away!. When that follows a pivot in your own company’s strategy with new staff to take on it gets even worse in terms of time to reflect and write. But I’ve been making notes in this draft post
