Almost ten years ago, I authored an article for UX Magazine on how to lead a UX Team, and recently reread that piece to remind myself of the ideas I expressed there. I’ve learned a lot since then, so I…
I’m a big fan of the film The Last Starfighter. It is one of those “cult classics” that most people I have met either love… Or have never seen. It was a moderate success on its initial 1984 release, and…
My company’s products support a range of different customers – from sales people wanting insights to existing or potential customers to recruiters who want to find the right candidates. Our focus is helping companies hit their numbers and succeed, powered…

Kenner released TONS of Star Wars playsets back in the day. The glory days of the Star Wars toyline was 1978 to 1984. The secret to the line’s success was simple: The scale. Unlike G.I.Joe or Kenner’s own Six Million…
