David Gee's BLOG (Darwin Boy). Thursday, March 19, 2015. Why I don't have to buy an Apple Watch. Why I don’t have to buy an Apple Watch. Is the Apple Watch just another distracting device? 20 March, 2015 11:57. The time is coming for each of us to decide – do we buy this new Apple Watch or not? There are many choices and price points for the product, plus we can expect third parties to provide accessories and apps to make these products even more individualised. Avoiding people who are walking down the s...

David Gee's BLOG (Darwin Boy). Wednesday, October 29, 2014. My first 90 days as a CIO. On 17 June, 2014. On day one at CUA, I shared my 90-day plan with the CEO.

After securing time with my direct manager, my first task was to determine his expectations. I ask for clarification on the burning issues while acti...

David Gee's BLOG (Darwin Boy). Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Should the CFO report to the CIO? It was an amusing question and one that resulted in some interesting dialogue about c-level reporting lines, says David Gee. 22 April, 2015 09:48. Why don’t CFOs report to CIOs? This question – which many people will find totally ridiculous – was posed at my table during a breakout session at a recent conference I attended in Sydney. While I have no past experience working at Jetstar, I do understand that the comp...

David Gee's BLOG (Darwin Boy): The race for messaging supremacy
http://davidjgee.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-race-for-messaging-supremacy.html
David Gee's BLOG (Darwin Boy). Thursday, May 28, 2015. The race for messaging supremacy. David Gee finds some messaging platforms that you may not know about, including one that may win the race. Asana, Hall, Jive, HipChat, Slack and Sqwiggle. It sounds like a group of superheroes that are going to save the world but in fact, it’s a band of new messaging startups – most from San Francisco – aiming to be the ‘go to’ product for your team to work more effectively. Is essentially a group messaging tool that...

David Gee's BLOG (Darwin Boy). Tuesday, February 10, 2015. How big business can innovate like a startup. Blog post] Inside the Spotify model. A true startup is like an artist, in that it is driven by an undeniable passion for its craft and an endless curiosity. The art is the goal, and the money and other trappings of success are a mere consequence. It is not surprising therefore that big business struggles with innovation. In startups, the driver to achieve a MVP is simply a greater hunger to make that ...
