Enterprise Networking Meeting - (post imcomplete)

On Tuesday I presented a talk at Huddersfield University to the Enterprise Network.

I took as my theme the importance to SME's of keeping an eye on coming innovations and the tweaking of the variables in the status quo can lead to upsets. Large corporations have the cash to get actively involved in industry wide innovations where as all to often the SME see's paradigm shifting innovation as ssomething that is forced upon them.

Any hoo - I promise I'd publish links to the topics I covered so here they are (this post is a work in progress and I'll keep updating over the next few days).
