    The NZ Wireless and Broadband Forum is set to become one of the first formal constituents of industry umbrella organisation the NZICT Group and is winding up as a separate entity.

    Forum president Malcolm Fraser says the move is a “common-sense” rationalisation.

    The NZ Wireless and Broadband Forum is set to become one of the first formal constituents of industry umbrella organisation the NZICT Group and is winding up as a separate entity.

    Forum president Malcolm Fraser says the move is a “common-sense” rationalisation. It removes the duplication of resources between the two organisations, he says, and enables the Forum to utilise the shared services of NZICT and “leverage the lobbying power and international banner” of the larger organisation.

    “We have a strong constituency and we’ll continue to represent them as the NZICT Wireless Forum,” he says. The move will by no means see the Forum lose its separate identity.

  • Peer Reviewer: The #Data4COVID19 Review: (Assessing the Use of Non-Traditional Data During a Pandemic Crisis)

    GovLab and the Knight Foundation

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on the world—inflicting enormous (and often uneven) health, economic, political, and cultural costs. Leaders from around the world have increasingly sought to mitigate these complex problems through the use of data, including data from non-traditional sources. In this report, we refer to that as “non-traditional data” and we define it as data that is “digitally captured [...], mediated [...] or observed,” using new instrumentation mechanisms…

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on the world—inflicting enormous (and often uneven) health, economic, political, and cultural costs. Leaders from around the world have increasingly sought to mitigate these complex problems through the use of data, including data from non-traditional sources. In this report, we refer to that as “non-traditional data” and we define it as data that is “digitally captured [...], mediated [...] or observed,” using new instrumentation mechanisms.

    As documented elsewhere, non-traditional data (NTD) has the potential to expand a decision maker’s toolbox to respond to not only pandemics but all kinds of dynamic crises, from climate disasters to energy
    emergencies. However, the use of non-traditional data for public good purposes remains nascent and there is much to be learned about how to utilize it ethically and effectively.

  • The Creation and Growth of Information Technology Communication (ICT) Industrial Clusters: The New Zealand Case

    New Zealand Journal of Applied Business Research

    Abstract: This paper is based on a review of literature into industrial clusters and subsequently discusses identified success factors within the context of ICT industrial clusters generally and New Zealand ICT industrial clusters in particular. It is argued that through identifying the success attributes underpinning industrial clusters a baseline can be established for decision-making by both industry vertical groups and various levels of government.

    Abstract: This paper is based on a review of literature into industrial clusters and subsequently discusses identified success factors within the context of ICT industrial clusters generally and New Zealand ICT industrial clusters in particular. It is argued that through identifying the success attributes underpinning industrial clusters a baseline can be established for decision-making by both industry vertical groups and various levels of government.

    It is also proposed that the application of this baseline logic to the development of New Zealand ICT clusters will enhance the domestic and international development of these clusters. The paper identifies that the key components of successful industrial clusters exist within three discernable categories that have been labelled ‘the core cluster’, ‘emerging innovation’ and ‘globalisation’.

    In 2003 I designed the Software Business Management Course (SBMC) and between 2003 - 2009 delivered it across 33 countries as my first start-up, Agitavi International.

    The SBMC was delivered to technology executives to provide them with the business tools and knowledge to determine their competitive advantage in their targeted value chain, design and execute software products, and plan for international marketing and channel promotion. Many start-ups underestimate the amount of time and financial resources required to get a product to market, and the SBMC was designed to create and fast-track start-ups by addressing the following needs of the software entrepreneur:

    Understand how entrepreneurial characteristics interact with the entrepreneurship process, i.e. from idea, to concept, to start-up and finally to high-growth business.
    Understand and apply tools for analyzing entrepreneurial talent and temperament and develop a personal entrepreneurial career strategy.
    Define and distinguish between the constructs of innovation versus entrepreneurship and innovator versus entrepreneur.
    Understand the strategic function played by business-to-business relationships and networks, and the value system concept and its role in building networks and relationships.
    Critically evaluate value systems and identify key tactical and strategic partners and implement business network strategies that build business performance
    The above photo is the key stakeholders in the Asia Pacific deliveries which included; Microsoft, Management Development Institute of Singapore, Australia's Southern Cross University, China's TsingHua University, India's Institute of Management Bangalore and New Zealand's Manukau Institute of Technology.
