Editor Steve recently finished reading these two books and recommends them. The first, Klondike Playboy is an autobiography by John Boden, known in this industry as CEO of ElderIssues, Florida, and the second, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff is essential reading these days for anyone who has to sell new product ideas. Let's just say you won't want these techniques used against you!
And then, of course, there are the perpetual favourites that everyone in every equipment supplier company should read over and over again, by Geoffrey A Moore.

I'd agree with previous comment that the design of this unit is clunky, although I'd say for the age group that a smartphone (and the monthly charges) are A Bridge Too Far. If they can get the size down to a smartphone size, keep it simple and make it portable (including on aircraft)--it becomes far more attractive. A real engineering challenge that I'm surprised Intel couldn't solve in the three years+ they've been developing it. The problem with wrist devices has always been size and irritation/bruising in the elderly, particularly women, with thin skin. And for those with dementia, where it's most useful, it can be a source of upset. |
