Introducing The NEW DPW!

If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result, then “here we go again!”

I received the following message from Richard Howson. Richard is a nice guy, but the content set off all kinds of alarms. It looks pretty similar to the DPW incubator model, where the event lures solution providers and practitioners under the auspices of co-development. In reality, it is a marketplace from which one or two bigger or emerging players will gain access to innovative technology and other companies or learn from them.

It is a brilliant strategy because the eventual benefactors get to pick the best-of-the-best while strategically thinning the herd so that the industry gets to the same point it always does – a few giants controlling the industry narrative and the game. At the same time, initiative failure rates continue as they always have for decades.

Here is the screenshot of the Howson email:
