• #22: Should I?MyApp pic covered, yeah?How about benefits? Can anyone see any benefits in having this kind of app? Eg For Staff in gen, for Clients, for Managers?What might I gain?StaffModern – word is younguns expect=true, anyone?Care enough about them to build their own special appClientsCARING AND MODERN TOO + More responsive, more efficient … better service ManagersSee big pic + finger on pulse when not out and about >> weekend hosp deaths cos consultants (aka managers) eye not on the ballLess analysis; more act on insight >> MIS BIS tempting to analyse, always ask new questions, sometimes dwelling on it = the answer. Newton gravity: “By always thinking about it” – insight springs from a quietly focused mindGenius captured >> Imagine – lightning strikes - have the idea and able to develop there and then, does the data support it… >> (Picasso) inspiration exists, just hope it finds you working____________________PC basedGenerated on demand, livePotentially vastAnalysis inducingMobile basedInstant, from 15mins ago/liveClippedReflection, Insight inducingDoes insight start where analysis ends? If so mobile = good
