       -- Windows keeps track of every web site you ever visit?
       --  Word and Excel documents contain secret embedded IDs that uniquely identify you?
       --  After you delete a file or your email someone could still read your file or email?
       --  Your ISP and the web sites you visit might keep a complete dossier of your online activities?

Ever thought about being an independent consultant? This 80-slide presentation tells you all about it -- the good, the bad, how to get started, and what to expect.

The presentation includes inside information you won't find elsewhere.   These consulting “secrets” include-- how to get clients, how much you need to charge to make it pay, how brokers operate, and why many companies have approved vendor lists--         

Can you believe I gave away all those hard-earned consulting secrets?   Here’s why. . .  I developed a business model I call open consulting.    Decide for yourself whether it will work for you ---       

Years ago I wrote an article for an obscure technical publication.   The paper introduced a model for understanding how and why companies adopt new technologies.  Called the hype curve, this model identifies proven versus un-proven technologies.  It presents a simple methodology to evaluate how useful various technologies are to organizations.

The hype curve concept found widespread success.   It's been adopted and elaborated upon by the Gartner Group as their major paradigm for understanding technology evolution (as hype cycles).   Silicon valley venture capitalists employ it in evaluating and marketing technology.   Groups as far away as the Tasmanian and Russian governments have used it for managing technological change.  

Download the original, un-altered paper from 1992 below, and see the best-selling book that uses the paper as a starting point.
