Would you buy an IKEA bicycle?
Would you buy an IKEAÂ bicycle?
I’m a big fan of IKEA. I love their philosophy. I love their communication. I love their advertising. However, I’ve only just discovered that IKEA also sell bicycles. So..would I ever consider buying one? I know I’ve got lots already, but as stipulated in ‘the rules‘ you always need one more. (n+1) I’ve not actually seen one, but here’s the video that explains what it’s about.…

Learning to Love Constraints, the BrewDog Way
Learning to Love Constraints, the BrewDog Way
In my ongoing quest to learn from best, I’ve just read ‘Business For Punks’ by James Watt, the co-founder of BrewDog, the poster child for the craft beer revolution that is sweeping the Globe. It’s an incredible story and it’s a great read. Insightful, clear and written with the same punk attitude as the brand. I heartily recommend it – even if you don’t like beer. Although they see themselves as…

Why it's good to be messy
Why it’s good to be messy
 Last year one of my favourite books was Maria Kondo’s ‘The Life Changing Magic of Tidying‘ It really did change my life. I threw out all the clothes that didn’t give me joy, cleared out all my old work files and visited Wandsworth tip on a regular basis. I recommended it to everyone I know. However, this year the book I keep banging on about is Tim Harford’s ‘Messy. How to be Creative and Messy…

WeChat - it's the future!
WeChat – it’s the future!
I’ve just come back from a week in China and found the technology difficult to handle. Internet connection was poor. I couldn’t use Google, access my gmail account,  or get onto Facebook and Instagram. However, what I discovered and started to use was WeChat and from then on it become THE most important way of communicating. It was so easy to use, lots of fun and now I’m a convert. Today there…

Why Jimmy's Iced Coffee will go from strength to strength
Why Jimmy’s Iced Coffee will go from strength to strength
As a former Nescafe brand manager and coffee lover I’m always on the look out for new and interesting coffees. So, last Saturday afternoon, whilst in Waitrose I sampled some of Jimmy’s Iced Coffee, which I really enjoyed. I even bought a few packs. When I was worked in the Nescafe brand team in Croydon,  back in the late 80s’ ‘the opportunity for ready to drink iced coffee’ always featured in our…

Drink and snack innovations that blur boundaries – intriguing but a tad confusing
Drink and snack innovations that blur boundaries – intriguing but a tad confusing
I blame the ‘cronut’, but in recent times I’ve noticed quite a few new products that bring together separate categories to create something new. Nowhere is this more evident than in the worlds of drinks and snacks. Within drinks, there’s been quite a few examples of ‘speers’ (spirit and beer) and ‘spiders’ (spirit and cider). 1 Desperados This is what their website says ‘Desperados is the world’s…

Learning to Love Constraints
Learning to Love Constraints
I’m loving Adam Morgan’s latest book – ‘A Beautiful Constraint’. I’ve enjoyed all his books and this one’s a cracker. It feels like the right book at the time. We’re living in times of constraint and austerity. Few businesses or economies are doing particularly well nowadays and we’re all being asked to do more with less. What this book does is recognize and indeed embrace this reality, arguing…

Tuscany. The home of red wine, olive oil...and craft beer
Tuscany. The home of red wine, olive oil…and craft beer
Craft beer in the UK is well and truly mainstream and here to stay. You just have to visit any bar or supermarket aisle and you can’t escape it. 200 new breweries open every year with Brewdog, the leader of the Revolution is going from strength to strength. Italy on the other hand is not a beer drinking nation, but one of the biggest revelations of my most recent holiday to Tuscany was the…

L'Eroica: how we've fallen in love with vintage bike rides
L’Eroica: how we’ve fallen in love with vintage bike rides
In 1997, in the village of Gaiole in Chianti, 92 cycling fanatics decided to create a bike ride through ‘the stade bianchi’ – the white roads – that criss-cross the Tuscan countryside. The entry rules were strict. The only bikes permitted had to be steel framed road bikes, built before 1987. Gear shifters had to be on the down tube and all pedals had to have toe clips and straps. In addition,…

Why Uniqlo Will Take Over the World
Why Uniqlo Will Take Over the World
Major fashion retailers have had a rough time recently and their troubles have been well documented. Earlier this year Next reported disappointing results. BHS is in deep, deep trouble, threatening to close 52 of its stores. Even John Lewis has a tough time recently. However, one fashion retailer that’s going from strength to strength is the Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo. I’m a big fan. With…

Why You Can't Avoid the Deliveroo Riders
Why You Can’t Avoid the Deliveroo Riders
Every time I cycle around the streets of south London I seem to overtaken by a Deliveroo cyclist with a huge box strapped to his pannier. They never used to be there, but now you can’t escape them. So I thought I’d investigate. Deliveroo is a restaurant home delivery service. However the key difference between this and other on-line hubs such as Hungry House and Just Eat is that the focus is on…

The book explainss and describes in detail a relatively new phenomenon – people building businesses that revolve around renting or selling what they own. It’s creating a whole new world of entrepreneurs as well as disrupting traditional businesses – and often causing controversy along the way. The book focuses…
