London in June

By grant

Today is going to be hectic with interviews and travel.

I hope to post but it will be late, and it might not happen at all.

In the meantime, I hope I will see you in London on June 16th at Russell Davies’ interesting2007 conference.

The speaker list is here.

The Wiki for the conference is here.

I thank Russell for the chance to speak. He’s encouraging me to talk about the time I was on Oprah. This would oblige me to talk about the time I nearly lost control of my bladder on national television. I don’t know. I’m ambivalent. I’ll think of something. Hope to see you there.

What could be more contemporary and meaningful than media-related bladder control issues? Sounds interesting to me.

See you there, Grant!

Chief Culture Officer

Business Week calls it one of "the best innovation and design books of 2009"

800 CEO Read holds it as one of the best "Big Ideas" book for 2009

“Building on decades of eye-opening research into the culture of consumption, Grant McCracken demonstrates why many companies get blindsided by cultural factors that were hidden in plain view, and offers a compelling argument for why they need to bring cultural expertise into their executive suite. Here’s hoping more corporate executives hear his call.” — Henry Jenkins, author, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide

“The title of this book is a lie. It's not merely for companies that decide they need a Chief Culture Officer, or even just for those who aspire to that job. It's for you. Right now. If your job involves marketing, inventing, selling or simply investing in companies that make stuff, this book is a must read.” — Seth Godin, author of Tribes & Purple Cow
