Relevancy is More than Marketing and Thought-Leadership

Contributed by: Antoine

Sometimes, it feels as if MMM is one part marketing and another part thought-leadership. I mean that more in respect to the conversations had with different people about MMM and why such a resource is relevant.

For example, one recent conversation cam about because the person is a parent of an IT-minded pre-teen. It is one thing to have kids which like to be online, but another to direct and answer questions as to why it works the way it does or what might be it’s relevance. We tackled this in a report here, but it probably begs to be revisited.

In another recent conversation, it was asked about some of the future of technology, especially for ebooks and education. And while it is easy to think and act as if everyone has gone iPad or Kindle, the fact of the matter is that these devices and services are still capturing the imagination of many. We would do just as well to talk about the future, as we do making sure not to lose sight of the relevancy of this to all.

That is part of the challenge and fun of MMM. And at the same time, this speaks to what’s happening more and more around us, IT isn’t just the geek and their computer, it’s the ability to use technology appropriately and understand it’s implications at the point of where it is relevant to individuals or groups.

For MMM, we engage the folks around us seeking these stories and asking those questions so that we don’t lose sight as well. It just so happens that many of the moments to bookmark these moments appears publicly.

Do you have a story you wish to share? Feel free to engage MMM to find out how we can help you write or tell it.
