    Something that we saw at SIME Barcelona today is what would happen if you extrapolate your online world offline, and the result was the video below.

    We are having a great time at Barcelona, bringing together CTO of Amazon, founder of Flickr, serial entrepreneurs, investors, marketing experts to discuss the digital landscape. The morning session has been all about

    1. Making marketing click  - how marketers operate today? And how has the consumption of information changed? From rich media ads to performance marketing, iPads to mobile phone, consumption of information and content has become ubiquitous.
    2. CTO of Amazon had 3 golden principles – institutional YES whereby any idea is by default gets a yes or go ahead, and if someone wants to oppose it, he elaborates the reasoning as why not to implement the idea instead of the other way around. Second is, product development begins with an internal press release and a customer FAQ document since then you can come back to what you have promised and what you think you have delivered. And finally, motivating developers through pizzas.
    3. The Panel on serial entrepreneurship was about finding the passion and motivating teams to drive towards a larger vision. With the life span of tech companies being very less (M&A booming in the market conditions), the market has a lot of 20+ and 30+ serial entrepreneurs who still go back to building their company instead of playing golf. And if you are still in your job, are you questioning your assumptions every day or are you connecting your passion to opportunity?

    Looking forward to the rest of the day!
