Goodwill 2017

December 22, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

For many people in the UK and elsewhere, today is the last working day before Christmas Day which falls on a Monday this year. I've spent most of today wrapping up work-related matters in order to have a clean slate, as it were, for the fast-approaching Christmas break.

2018: the year of chatbots, AI and digital personal assistants

December 18, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

2017 was the year that artificial intelligence (AI) generally gained a greater consciousness in the public mind as well as in the minds of many professionals, not the least being those in the broad communication business – especially public relations, advertising, marketing and employee communication. Every time we see a robot mentioned in the mainstream media, there's either a photo of the Terminator or some human-looking machine which feeds our fear – adding to the uncertainty and doubt … [Read more...] about 2018: the year of chatbots, AI and digital personal assistants

SDF Podcast 14: Looking forward by looking back

December 13, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

Janus

As the Small Data Forum progresses through its early teenage years – our latest podcast is episode 14 already – regular co-hosts Thomas Stoeckle, Neville Hobson, and Sam Knowles are taking the opportunity to look forward by looking back.

SNCR fake news study: high stakes for marketers in survey findings

December 11, 2017 by Neville Hobson 

You can summarise what marketers think about fake news with this - they are ambivalent about what ought to change, and are reluctant to alter their own business practices. That's a key finding from the results of an online survey-based research study carried out between August-November 2017 by The Society for New Communications Research of The Conference Board (SNCR). Led by SNCR Fellow Jeff Pundyk, a former Senior Vice President at The Economist, the prime purpose of the research project … [Read more...] about SNCR fake news study: high stakes for marketers in survey findings
