I saw this in an article you wrote (at the link below):
“I am so busy running the day-to-day that I just don’t have the time to think about anything else.”
I hear that all the time.
I believe that trade and professional associations can step up as institutions and get the ball rolling on developing use cases, and will write about it soon? Do you see this happening at CSCMP?

HI Mark - thanks for sending your readers to the article. Would certainly be happy to talk about how to get the ball rolling on use cases. You can reach me at chris@goblock.co
Agree Mark. All innovation needs to start with a business purpose and a business case first.
Sometimes a new technology developed first - before a business case - can open the eyes of business people to business cases they might not have been able to see.
Thinking of all the recent hype around Chat, and how I can use that in my business. I don't have a business case yet, but it has got me thinking.
First of all: Really great article. Particularly the second part is very hands-on and insightful.
Can you elaborate a bit more on this hypothesis?
>> The “business people of distribution”—not the technologists—must own the future. <<
This sounds very much like a paradigm we actually had left behind us: The separation of business and IT. From my perspective, transformations are only successful when both work together closely end-to-end (includes the first/early phases).
Agreed. Inside a company, close coordination with IT is essential. By “technologists” I mean the outside experts that see the power of technology and push its frontiers. There’s more to say about this. I’ll address in a future edition and if you’d like to chat live in the new year, let’s do so.
And, congratulations on your newsletter and welcome to substack:
Chatting next year sounds great! And thanks for promoting my new Newsletter here a little. Today the first one has gone out, quite exciting :)
Merry Christmas to everyone!
