                This is a scary but very necessary look at how "privacy" is fast becoming a quaint notion in today's wired world. Medical records, credit reports, employment records and communications -- a huge amount of information is profiled and stored online, very detailed, and often for sale. Everyday actions such as buying a car, purchasing groceries, ordering a pizza for delivery all seem innocuous, but information is collected about our preferences and habits in places that we don't usually consider. The authors show how information is collected and maintained and then offer strategies and ideas for keeping the promise of technology from becoming a nightmare.

                Their ideas won't stop the invasion of privacy in its tracks, but they will slow it down considerably. More important is the idea that we don't have to passively accept these intrusions into our lives.

                Book Description

                Imagine a world where every detail of our lives--where we go, what we do, and maybe even what we think--can be known to others at the click of a mouse. In business and at home, that world is here. This shocking book reveals precisely how the new technology is already invading our confidentiality and privacy. Fourtunately, it also tells how we can protect ourselves. Created by two cyberage gurus--one an expert on privacy laws and data protection, the other the best-selling coauthor of Paradigm Shift--this riveting expose is the book privacy-conscious citizens have been clamoring for.

                2 out of 5 stars Paranoia doesn't help solve the privacy problem!.......1999-06-04

                I was disappointed not so much by what I found, but rather by what is missing. After finishing the book I still wanted to know what the precise data enities are that may typically be considered candidates for privacy treatment. This is a key piece of information that was completely missing from the book.

                So I went to the web site managed by Dr. Cavoukian, The Ontario Privacy Commissioner to ask about where I might obtain such information. Amazingly, I could not send her, the Ontario Privacy Comissioner an e-mail.

                I do not recommend the book.

                5 out of 5 stars Fascinating! Shocking! A Must For Anyone Who Wants Privacy!.......1998-10-21

                This is an incredible book that deals with the increasingly complicated problem of privacy in an increasingly technologically based society. This book reveals the secrets behind such things as "preferred shoppers cards" and direct marketing. If you care about your privacy, this book is a must-read.

                  5 out of 5 stars Inspiring Leadership by John Adair.......2005-05-19


                  In Inspiring Leadership, the author reviews some of the great leaders in history, highlighting what they have to teach us today about the nature and practice of leadership. He drew numerous examples from leaders in the military, politics, industry and the church. He explains the leadership qualities of the various leaders in depth, with due regard to the historical context. The book is essential reading for those aspiring for leadership positions in various fields.

                  The book explains the various concepts of leadership that were applied by successful leaders throughout history. The leadership qualities that resulted in success were explained in the context of the period of history. The author illustrates different facets of leadership, which include leadership through knowledge, the servant leader, the gentleman leader, charisma and women as leaders. He explores the very different styles of leadership of notable figures like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Alexander the Great and Hitler. He examines the cardinal qualities of inspiring, setting direction, communication and decision making as well as the values of humour, intuition and imagination.

                  The lessons I learnt from the book enables me to play my part in providing leadership to my subordinates and indeed provide direction to African airlines in areas of my responsibilities, namely in engineering and maintenance as well as in training. I am now aware of the deficiencies in my leadership and am now adequately equipped to provide a vision for my department, in the current highly dynamic operating conditions.

                                        An outstanding practical guide to capacity management —a detailed blueprint for organizational excellence and maximum customer satisfaction.

                                        Being competitive in today's marketplace means understanding the customer's expectations and providing products and services on target —the first time, every time. This book shows how to use the knowledge and skills of capacity management to do just that, with a systematic presentation of the principles and tools needed to manage resources and operational capacity effectively.

                                        Beginning with techniques for hearing and answering the "voice of the customer," the book explores the essentials of capacity planning, from work flows and scheduling to cost estimating and budgeting. Next is an in-depth examination of resource management —how to make the most of materials and supplies, facilities and equipment, operations layout design, and more —plus a complete methodology for process capacity planning and control. Finally, all of these elements are combined in an integrated model for optimizing the performance of the organization.

                                        Written to guide managers and production staff through the capacity planning and management process on a day-to-day basis, this book is an invaluable aid in transforming theory into real-world results.

                                        You don't have to look far to see that technology is driving today's economy. Turn on CNBC, open The Economist, scan the Wall Street Journal--you'll find that technology is the prime force creating growth in almost every industry. In Unleashing the Killer App, authors Larry Downes and Chunka Mui look at the dynamics of technological change and its potential to create "killer apps." The authors describe a killer app as a product or service that "wind up displacing unrelated older offerings, destroying and re-creating industries far from their immediate use, and throwing into disarray the complex relationships between business partners, competitors, customers, and regulators of markets." Examples of killer apps throughout history include the Welsh longbow, the pulley, the compass, moveable type, and the Apple Macintosh. And today, with our increasingly networked economy (for example, the World Wide Web), killer apps are appearing all around us.

                                        Downes and Mui argue that the dominant trend behind the proliferation of killer apps is a combination of Moore's Law, which states that the processing power of the CPU doubles every 18 months, and Metcalfe's Law, which observes that the value of a network increases dramatically with each node that's added to it. These two laws are fundamentally changing how businesses interact with each other and with their customers. To exploit these changes, the authors outline 12 points for designing a digital strategy to help you identify and create killer apps in your own organization. The book includes dozens of examples of how killer apps were discovered and implemented.

                                        Unleashing the Killer App provides an excellent framework for rethinking the nature of business in today's wired economy. No matter the size of your company or what it does--health care, publishing, or fast food--there's probably a killer app lurking somewhere. This book will help you find it. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards

                                        Now in Paperback--A Business Week Bestseller! Over 100,000 hardcover copies sold!

                                        When technologies, products, and services converge in radical, creative new ways, a killer app can emerge--a new application so powerful that it transforms industries, redefines markets, and annihilates the competition. Companies large and are swiftly attempting to remake themselves into organizations that nurture killer apps and successfully translate their digital strategy into market dominance.

                                        With Unleashing the Killer App, Downes and Mui offer a progressive guide to transforming your company into a place where killer apps are born. Drawing from their experience and research with leading global businesses, the authors:

                                      • Identify the twelve fundamental design principles for building killer apps
                                      • Illustrate these principles with classic stories from history and examples from a wide range of industries that have successfully developed killer apps
                                      • Examine the economic consequences of the diminishing transaction costs in cyberspace
                                      • Describe how to integrate digital strategy into an organization's planning process to create new markets, form new customer relationships, and change the product line.

                                        Unleashing the Killer App provides the tools, the techniques, and the proof that you need to incubate--perhaps even release--the killer app within your organization. Also available in hardcover; ISBN 087584801X, $24.95.

                                        I thought that this book would be a little more than what it ended up being. I don't recall it keeping my attention for long, as I bought it well over a year ago.

                                        I think that the Blue Ocean Strategy book is what this book should have been and is a much better read regarding development for market segment domination.

                                        Being written few years before the internet bubble burst, this books shares the optimism and the hype common in those days - along with belief in a revolution in which everything would change, when those awaken would prosper, an those unprepared would die.
                                        Exaggerations aside, it describes some very interesting key concepts, some very well known by the average public (Moore's law), others not so well (Metcalfe's law) and others yet known mostly by economists only (transaction costs and they relation to corporate sizes), combines them and develops some ideas from them. You can disagree to the conclusions, and certainly some rosy predictions the book made were proved wrong, but many clever insights make worth the reading.

                                        A Killer App is an invention, product or service that changes the world dramatically and quickly. Today, killer applications seem to be coming at a remarkable rate, threatening to overwhelm and destroy entrenched companies in long-standing industries. You must learn how to design Killer Apps in your company, say the authors, and you must have the courage to implement them, even if they may destroy your current products and services.

                                        The authors have outlined twelve principles of Killer App design:

                                        Reshaping the Landscape
                                        1. Outsource to the customer. The customer is the best customer service representative and the best product developer.
                                        2. Cannabalize your markets, before your competitors do it for you. The Killer Apps your company designs may threaten your existing products and services. You must implement them before your competitors make you irrelevant.
                                        3. Treat each customer as a market segment of one. Technology makes it possible to create a customer offering that is unique, every time.
                                        4. Create communities of value. The internet creates communities of like-minded people. This creates an opportunity for effective, targeting marketing.
                                        Building New Connections
                                        5. Replace rude interfaces with learning interfaces.
                                        6. Ensure continuity for the customer, not yourself.
                                        7. Give away as much information as you can. Balance the value of proprietary value against the potential of business partners to add value by using it.
                                        8. Structure every transaction as a joint venture. The better you are at forming, executing and completing joint ventures, the better positioned you will be to exploit new opportunities.
                                        Redefining the Interior
                                        9. Treat your assets as liabilities. The true value in your organization is its information, not its possessions.
                                        10. Destroy your value chain, before your competitors do it for you.
                                        11. Manage innovation as a portfolio of options. Redefine your risk assessment outside of the traditional ROI model.
                                        12. Hire the children.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Are you on the bench or the playing field?.......2005-04-27

                                        "Are you going to be part of creating the future or are you just going to be a spectator - the choice is yours." - Michael A. Davis

                                        According to Bill Gates "Going digital will put you on the leading edge of a shock wave of change." Maybe you missed the dot-com boom. Are you going to miss the Wireless boom - which will change the world a thousand times over. The time is now to seize opportunity and the "Killer App" will help you do it.

                                        What exactly is a killer app?

                                        "Killer App - a new application so powerful that it transforms industries, redefines markets, and annihilates the competition." Not just a recent digital age phenomenon; inventions like the compass, moveable type, eyeglasses, the steam engine, and lightbulbs have impacted society in a huge way. Downes and Mui did a fantastic job of describing the characteristics of true killer apps and have aptly illustrated the degree of impact they can have on society.

                                        You certainly don't have to look far to see that technology, particularly the Internet, is driving today's economy. Turn on CNBC, read Business Week or browse the Wall Street Journal - you'll find that technology is the prime force creating growth in almost every industry.

                                        Downes and Mui argue that the dominant trend behind the proliferation of killer apps is a combination of Moore's Law (CPU processing power doubles every 18 months) and Metcalfe's Law (network value increases dramatically with each additional user.) These two laws are fundamentally changing how businesses interact with each other and with their customers. Owing to the today's rapidly changing business environment, business owners will inevitably lose out to competition if they're not utilizing the latest technology.

                                        Unleashing the Killer App is divided into three parts:

                                        Digital Strategy
                                        Designing the Killer App
                                        Unleashing the Killer App

                                        In Part I, there is a brief discussion of one "killer app" in the Middle Ages, the stirrup, which added mounted cavalry to the battle equation. The "lowly stirrup" played a singular role in rearranging the political, social, and economic structure of medieval Europe.

                                        In Part II, what they refer to as "a few rules of thumb." They suggest three stages of "killer app" design and carefully explain each. They identify 12 specific principles on which to base the design process.

                                        In Part III, they shift their attention to "Unleashing the Killer App" and correctly stress the importance of communication, one which "speaks with the language of ideas, scenarios, options, and what-ifs."

                                        Think of and measure your daily operations as a series of unique transactions. Then focus on how these transaction costs can approach zero. With technology allowing for greater interactivity, the ability exists to create online communities where people can share in ways never imagined.

                                        Unleashing the Killer App is an awesome book that will certainly make you think about ways to ride the waves of technological change surrounding us. With that said, it is prudent to consider both traditional and digital strategy, particularly in light of the Dot Com Bust, when developing strategic plans. Two interesting concepts are illustrated in Table 3.1 "Strategic Planning vs Digital Strategy," p. 59 and Figure 3.1 "The New Forces," p. 65.

                                        5 out of 5 stars This I/T technologist now thinks digital.......2005-02-05

                                        For technologists that have worked in the I/T field for twenty years or more, it is easy to find ourselves reacting poorly to technology changes and business opportunities due to a lack of clear understanding of how digital strategies are affecting business economics, lifestyles, and our jobs. "Unleasing the Killer App" is applicable to technologists, managers and business analysts alike; but reading it from the viewpoint of a technologist, it forced me to take an introspective look at how I provide service to my clients using the paradigm of "digital strategies for market dominance" as presented by the authors.

                                        Part one introduces generation defining technologies, i.e. "Killer Apps", the new economics, and the "digital strategy". The theories of Gordon Moore (Moore's Law), Robert Metcalfe (Metcalfe's Law) and Ronald Coase (economist) are used by the authors to describe the "Law of Diminishing Firms". In short, my take on the matter is that businesses must create "flat" decentralized management support organizations to reduce transaction costs or risk being diminished; this includes I/T service organizations.

                                        Part two presents twelve principles of "Killer App Design". Of major significance to technologists is the idea to "outsource to the customer". What better way to drive down the cost of transactions than to design systems that allow the customer to bypass customer representatives entirely. Another significant principle is to "give away as much information as you can" to open up interfaces that will create new markets and opportunities for integration. I believe one of the failures of I/T service organizations has been the propensity to create internal (closed system) applications, fostering proliferations of organizational silos.

                                        Part three deals with implementing the "Killer App-digital strategy". I/T organizations are struggling to balance investments between new technology projects and growing operating costs. In almost all companies, those responsible for operations and maintenance are also responsible for strategizing new technology directions. As discussed in chapter 8, managing innovation requires observing technology trends and implementing practices that drive change based on the new technology. The author states, "Succeeding at these early stages of digital strategy development requires substantial changes to the organization" (p. 182). My perception is that I/T organizations should consider shifting experienced technology specialists from the operations areas into the strategic technology areas to stay ahead of the technology wave or risk being swept away by it.

                                        Although "Unleashing the Killer App" was written in 1998, the principles are still applicable today. It is a must read for any technologist that cannot determine whether his I/T service organization is simply a provider of technology solutions designed to meet business requirements or an I/T organization that provides technology solutions that drive the business.
