SIME Talks – inspired from TED

We all love TED, great inspiration, great knowledge and great entertainment. Quite interestingly, TED has this weekly routine of putting up their talk shows as TED Talks for the world to see. And we thought why not we spread knowledge the same way through our nodes at SIME. So came to life the idea of having SIME Talks.

SIME Talks will feature interviews from some of the pioneers and innovators in the digital arena, mostly from Sweden to begin with, and as we get closer to the SIME days, we will have more from our international friends. Of course there will be some archive material from previous SIME that are still relevant. We already have one from Stephen Parish, a propeller head from SUN Microsystems below, talking about why startup’s need to watch out for the price of failure more than the cost of success, and how cloud computing is helping reduce the price of failure, a very poignant statement indeed. So beginning next Wednesday July 29, there will be talks that go live in the SIME blog every week for us to start a discussion about.

We encourage all of you to take this opportunity to discuss, engage and connect with like minded souls around the SIME ecosystem. And oh, we also have a series of guest bloggers lined up for the fall who are very happy to share some of their interesting thoughts. And there is also going to be some cross posting from Thomas Crampton’s blog, Martin Varsavsky and other thought leaders in the coming days.

Wishing you all happy inspiration times!
