Think globally, act globally

Helicopter is the quickest way from Nice to Monaco. Most people go to Monaco to escape taxes or play with the rich and famous. I was there on business: the annual off-site meeting of Coreconsulting, the up and coming Italian consulting group.

Not wanting to insult the locals, I wandered around town taking in the sights. Below: the Lamborghini dealer (a block from the Maybach dealer), a row of Citroen Deux-Chevaux, the television awards (next to my hotel), prosciutto con melone, a giant yacht, and a plate of fried, stuffed olives.

Danilo Viviani is chairman of Gruppo Coreconsulting. Suave, technically astute, welcoming, and of course speaking English better than I, this man knows how to host an event. Four morning presentations starting at 10:00 am, lunch, time off, jazz concert, and gala dinner. If I lived in Italia, I would want to be a Coreconsulting customer.

He kicked things off with a thorough description of Web 2.0.

Next up was Francesco Morace, a futurist with Future Concept Lab in Milano. Journalist/commentator Luca De Biase moderated the transition between presentations. I was next up, talking about applications of web 2.0 to learning. Norman Lewis, formerly head of technology with Orange, gave a fascinating presentation on digital children. Luca De Biase led an animated Q&A session to conclude. The program was just right: enough interesting content but not too much.

Coreconsulting is a sharp outfit. Americans should not delude themselves that they have a lock on the application of web 2.0 technology.
