Mike Harris's BlogMoney and MouthsTuesday, July 29, 2008 So I write a book for entrepreneurs based on the idea that small companies can simply and cheaply use techniques that innovation leaders routinely use at vast cost. Techniques like customer insight, branding, culture, business planning, risk management , team building. If you know what you are doing and use the best of modern technology I say you can get great benefit from doing things that were thought to be out of reach for small companies. So the Garlik guys say : "We need some video - a tutorial which shows customers how to get the best out of Datapatrol . It's really expensive to do it professionally but you are a bit of a video whizz aren't you? You say modern cameras and editing software let anybody produce a professional looking video for the web. Can you do it for us? It won't cost anything then will it." Now it's true I've been playing with video (and it's predecessor 8mm cine film) for 50 years. And it's true that I bore everyone telling them how clever I've been getting all that onto terrabytes of hard disk so I can edit it all into Hollywood like epics . But I gulped at being asked to do a professional looking video for something as important as Datapatrol - then someone pointed at find your lightbulb and murmured something about money and mouths and so we are off - Script, Camera, Lights, Action! Sometimes business is so much fun. Watch this space to see the results. Those whom the gods wish to destroyFriday, July 11, 2008 The government is deeply unpopular and many put the blame on Gordon Brown and/or the global ecomony. I think there's more to it. I think there are finally many chickens coming home to roost.
