My name is Oluwakorede Asuni – most people call me Olu’ and you may as well.

I work at the intersection of technology and society – helping businesses, non-profits and individuals craft and evolve their technology adoption (aka digital transformation) strategies.

For most of my career, I have worn multiple hats ranging from product manager, project/programme manager, business analyst and customer advocate.

I write regularly here, on facebook, twitter and on some of the most popular business analysis platforms out there. 

I hold the IIBA CBAPIIBA CPOAPMI PMP and ITIL Foundation, credentials. And I  recently completed an executive MBA at the University of Readings’ Henley Business School– where I my research explored Gamification for customer acquisition and retention in SMEs.

I publish a newsletter fortnightly, in which I explore thoughts, theories and developments across digital.

Reflections on work and being busy?

Do we do work for the sake of it and its direct benefits (ability to buy things and by a stretch the ability to create wealth) or as a means to live a fulfilled life (where each is free to define fulfilment)? A position I might have maintained given “my confusion” is to maintain a hybrid view of work. I seize or attempt to seize every opportunity to create something that brings me fulfilment (I have been known to go as far as crossing boundaries of organisational hierarchy to get stuff done and apologise afterwards rather than wait endlessly for permission) and sometimes, too, I simply toe the line – in the hope that something great emerges – especially one that does emerge despite our efforts to the contrary.

Adobe makes changes to its terms of service: Creatives will have none of that nonsense!

The dust-up began with concerns about content access.
