Welcome! (Plus an intro to SLAM)

Hey Everyone,

For everyone moving over from my old blogspot blog, welcome to my new online home! I apologize for the extremely long vacation from writing (and for the e-mail of all my past blogs to those of you signed up on my e-mail list – was hoping to avoid that in the migration but it didn’t happen).

This is just a quick update to say I’m alive and well and to share a quick video that Erin and I made for the University of Waterloo chapter a couple of weeks ago. They put it all together for us and uploaded it to YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR-TwHgeyRs. It is a quick introduction to the new Systems, Leadership and Management (SLAM) strategy that Erin and I are heading up.

Get ready for more posts on that strategy in the near future! I’ve been reading a lot about startups and customer development lately and I hope to share some of the interesting comparisons between the human development world and the tech startup/business world.

Hope you’re all doing well and more to come soon!

Thanks,

Ben

PS I’ve been MIA for the past two weeks working on a secret project for the EWB 2011 Conference. It launches tomorrow so expect more details then!
