While my focus at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre has been on their Knowledge4Policy platform (K4P), I've recently been pulled in to help design their internal communications, community, collaboration & knowledge management strategy as they grapple with migrating from Jive to M365.

A repost of one of my experiments with the massive.wiki team, where we "developed an approach ... which simultaneously enriches blogging by adding some of the best aspects of wikis, and allows wikis to better host something resembling blogs."

A neural network to help web content authors efficiently and completely characterise their content using the site taxonomy. Accuracy improves with use.

An innovative writing toolkit will further extend the productivity tools offered to MyHub editors.

In 7 minutes you'll learn how to get your password, edit your about page and use the bookmarklet to start curating content to your Hub.

I officially launched the MyHub.ai alpha phase right smack in the middle of the 2020 coronavirus crisis.

MyHub.ai is a platform for individuals and companies who care about content. You use it to create your Hub: an AI-powered, ad-free centre for your online presence.

Behind the scenes, your Hub helps you extract the most value from the best content, rather than being drowned in a firehose of meh.

MyHub is an ad-free, manipulation-free zone. Your privacy is 100% safe. How?

I interview Annie White and Nil Tuzcu of Harvard’s Growth Lab about their use of data visualisations for policymaking... summarise the resulting guidance we’re giving Knowledge4Policy publishers.

Some sites are a victim of their own initial success. A decade after launching, an EC community platform was struggling to remain relevant. Over the intervening years it had offered a flexible, powerful publishing solution to many different parts of the EC...
