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 CBAP, IIBA CPOA, PMI 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.

In this short video I go over questions as:
What are the factors you should consider in deciding whether or not to get a business analysis certification?
What certifications are fit for you, depending on factors like, your objectives, your career path to this point, your plans for the future.
Who are business analysts and what do they do? What are the tools of their trade?
Where do they work?
And how do you get started as a business analyst?
I attempt answers to some of these questions in this video.
Can strict waterfall co-habit with agile? For example, can a business with legacy processes transform or begin to transform to one that is responsive to the rapidly changing demands of the market?
If yes, what are the thoughts and principles that we need to embrace.
In this article, I explore why and how this is possible.

The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 is what you get when an Apple Watch dates a Samsung Galaxy Watch, and neither of them is bothered with contraception.
With a 1.6-inch AMOLED screen, the band (or tracker) as devices like this one are categorised – is a cross between a watch (but too small to be one) and a tracker or band (too large to be one).
In history, changes like this have come along often. Panic like I hinted above comes to play. But after all is said and done, we find that the panic was a waste of good energy – energy that could have been applied to some good use at the time.
Our lesson for today is from the book of Olu’ chapter 15:1-10. Let us commence: 1. Thou shall not feel entitled to another person’s time. Except where you have ‘put in some deposits’ with them, and even then that deposit must be mutually acknowledged, as opposed to being acknowledged solely by the party that places a (entitled) demand on the time of the other. When thou request for other people’s time, thou shall proceed with humility, care, and a willingness to clearly not make the demand a one sided transaction. There is nothing wrong if you feel the demand of another’s time is transactional, you take from them and you give something back. If you do not, and the other suggests it, do everyone a favour and don’t lift up your nose in disgust. That the one whose time you have demanded doesn’t acquiesce to your demand, doesn’t transfer to you the right to question there use of their own time and suggest things akin to: “you claim to be busy, but you are always online on facebook, Twitter , Whatsapp or other social media or other observable use of their time”. Becuase that right is reserved by the owner
Whilst the full implications of these advancements are being debated, policies to guide the use of such are yet to be crafted – either because as is often the case innovation leapfrogs policy and governance or because the general implications of these advancements are yet to be fully understood or appreciated, one wonders if these advancements wouldn’t lead to further divide amongst the world’s population, similar to the digital divide occasioned by the evolution of digital.
The Carbon Almanac edited and forwarded by Seth Godin is an easy-to-read mapping of the climate crisis, the resulting prognosis and actions that can be taken to sidestep some if not all of the disasters that uncontained climate change will wreak on people across the globe – the first of whom are likely to be poor people living in coastal communities, across the globe, and eventually of all of society as we know it, given the continuous nature of the changes in weather conditions that will be occasioned – rising sea levels, rising precipitation, drought etc – and the socio-economic changes that will result. The carbon Almanac is not all doom and gloom – indeed uncontained climate change is – the almanac maps the consequences of our unchecked actions as humanity that have negative effects or triggers unintended but negative changes to the global climate system and then highlights the changes we need to make as a collective and those we need to make at an individual level. Broken into 9 parts of many chapters focused on multiple themes across the climate discussion, it presents scientific findings, expert opinions, possible scenarios depending on how we choose to proceed, and calls
