The boiling frog is a parable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. ThreeFold is key in helping people and companies think ahead and not end up in hot water. excerpt: Previously Chief Technology Officer of Business Connexion, the largest Information and Communications technology company in Africa. diff --git a/content/person/raphael_zöscher/raphael_zöscher.jpg b/content/person/raphael_zöscher/raphael_zöscher.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index a675af464..000000000 Binary files a/content/person/raphael_zöscher/raphael_zöscher.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/person/richard_sutton/richard_sutton.md b/content/person/richard_sutton/richard_sutton.md index 9bb29fc9d..9882bf6fa 100644 --- a/content/person/richard_sutton/richard_sutton.md +++ b/content/person/richard_sutton/richard_sutton.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ --- id: richard_sutton name: Richard Sutton -rank: 3 +rank: 1 memberships: ambassador bio: Richard runs a Brand Development Agency specialising in hi-tech manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and Clean/Future Technologies.
