Intelligent – Now What?
Building a Viable City – Rohit Talwar
He made you sound like a suburb of Palo Alto!
Interesting approach by Rohit – and a suggestion that we take a bit of a step back and take time to reflect on what this all means; what the implications for Bradford are. He was insightful on Brian Cantor’s remarks – which were delivered at high intensity and high speed – a blizzard of bullet pointed facts!
The International Context – Julia Glidden
Keynote – Brian Cantor
Big and Open Data – ‘Give Me More’

Strategic but not “big”

I do a lot of work on strategy. And I remember a discussion I had with the Technology Strategy Board when we proposed that C4CC became a ‘strategic partner’ for the newly named ‘Connected Digital Economy Catapult’. We were told that we ‘weren’t big enough’. And I said, ‘Well, when the Internet started out it wasn’t big either – but it was strategic!’. I didn’t mean to sound like we were trying to do something as important as that, of course, even if it could be interpreted as that. Just that one should not confuse someone big doing something with producing strategic change…
