A Recap of My 2010 Entrepreneurial Engineer Posts on EE Times

In my “Maiden Voyage” post on Jul-30-2010 for my Entrepreneurial Engineer blog on EE Times  I said that I would focus on innovation and entrepreneurship in the broader electronic systems design ecosystem. I hoped to provide insights in the following areas:

1. Perspective on technology innovation.
   • 10 quotes to help you bring order out of chaos at your company
2. Analysis of business strategy for emerging markets.
   • Seeking input on DAC’s strategy
3. New models for global teams and multi-firm collaboration that are predicated on incessant collaboration among experts.
4. Perspective on the impact of communication and pervasive connectivity in creating new business models.
5. Insights from pioneering engineers on how new computing paradigms are enabling new models for how they invent.
   • Plunify launches SaaS platform that integrates FPGA design tools
6. Interviews with entrepreneurs sharing lessons learned from their successes and their setbacks.
   • Eric Deal bounces back from a startup shutdown to establish Cyclic Design
   • Docea Power successfully bootstraps as a new EDA player
   • Interview: Paul van Besouw, Oasys Design Systems

I am going to continue to focus on these areas for 2011 as well.

I have another ten posts in various stages of completion and plan to post one a week at least for the first quarter of 2011. If you would like to be interviewed or have some insights you would like to share about areas 3 and 4 in particular please contact me.
