The management holds significant expectations from the human resources and training departments, urging them to devise inventive, time-efficient, travel- friendly, and cost-effective approaches. Purpose: The Purpose of the study is to determine the blended learning program effectiveness among high potential employees in manufacturing industry. This subject was prevalent in industries such as manufacturing industries. It has a profound impact on the long-term sustainability of organizations, particularly in engaging, nurturing, and retaining high-potential employees within the manufacturing industries. Methods: This research approach offers a thorough understanding of the connections between blended learning program effectiveness, high-potential employees, and manufacturing industries by combining a literature review of 18 research papers, case studies, and surveys. Findings: High potential employees, training professionals, as well as other employees have shown a favourable attitude toward the integration of blended learning program effectiveness methods in manufacturing industries-learning environments. Many firms put a high value on BL because employees are encouraged to learn on the job by participating in work-based activities that include high potential employees as learning partners & make use of business resources they have developed. Conclusions: This research methodology aims to provide a comprehen-sive comprehension of the interrelationships among blended learning programs, their efficacy, manufacturing organizations, and high-potential employees.

441. From CEO of ASX-listed company to Bus Driver with Nic Jones
01:00:20|In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Nic Jones, a former executive who made the bold decision to step away from a high-powered career in media to drive buses.Jones, whose past roles spanned influential positions at Moshcam, Pureprofile, Nine, Yahoo, News Corp, Publisis, and Vevo, shares the experiences and reflections that led him to question the corporate world’s relentless pursuit of more.Together, we unpack the value of living in alignment with one’s true nature versus society’s definition of success, inspired by a famous Seneca quote: "Live according to nature and never be poor; live according to opinion and never be rich."Key Discussion Points:Background and Big Decisions: We explore Nic’s previous life, filled with executive roles and startup ventures, including his time as CEO of Pureprofile and his contributions to projects like Vera, a platform supporting people with dementia. Nic reflects on what happened with some of these companies and what ultimately influenced his choice to take a step back.Pursuing Purpose Over Prestige: Why does society prize "chasing more" even if it costs us our happiness? Nic reflects on how this constant drive often leads to personal sacrifices and explores why he chose to reject that path in favor of simpler living.Identity & Letting Go of the “Golden Handcuffs”: How did Nic break free from the identity and financial security associated with his high-level roles? He discusses the challenges of leaving a successful career, the concept of “golden handcuffs,” and how he managed the financial and personal implications of this shift.Privilege and Perception: Nic addresses the perspective that leaving a well-paying job is a choice only available to a few. He openly talks about privilege and explains why, for him, this was not an impulsive decision but rather one carefully navigated.The Role of Social Circles & Intellectual Stimulation: How has Nic’s social life changed since transitioning to a new career? Nic shares how this choice impacted his relationships with friends, especially those in professional circles.Reflections on Happiness and Meaning in the Age of Screens: Nic reflects on the crisis of meaning and community in a world dominated by screens, discussing how bus driving and working with people daily bring him a new sense of observable meaning.Relationship with Money: Has Nic’s relationship with money changed since he walked away from his high-income job? We examine the evolution of his financial values, including the notion of "enough," and how that influences his current approach to life.Show NotesConnect with Nic on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nic99jones/Connect with SteveFollow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/steveglaveski Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram/thesteveglaveski Subscribe to my newsletter: https://futuresquared.xyzFuture Squared YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@futuresquaredpodListen to Future Squared on Spotify & Apple Podcasts440. How to Apply Lean Startup at Large Organizations with Lean Startup Co CEO, Ben Hafele
54:25|Introduction:In this episode, we dive into the world of Lean Startup, 13 years on from its inception, and explore the challenges and nuances of applying it within large corporations.While Lean Startup principles are widely taught, executing them in established corporate environments often leads to failure. Our guest, Ben Hafele from Lean Startup Corp, shares his firsthand insights on why this happens and how leaders can overcome these challenges to foster innovation within their organizations.Key Topics Covered:A quick recap of the Lean Startup methodology, focusing on rapid experimentation, validated learning, and customer feedback loops. Why is it still relevant today, and how does it differ from traditional corporate processes?Teaching the Lean Startup approach is one thing, but applying it in a corporate setting is an entirely different challenge. Why does it often fail in large organizations, and what can leaders do to make it successful?Process blockers: How existing systems and bureaucratic hurdles slow down the Lean process.People blockers and cultural dynamics: Exploring the resistance to change, risk aversion, and the "not a startup" mindset common in corporate environments.Navigating stakeholder interests: In large organizations, aligning various stakeholders with differing priorities can be a significant hurdle. Ben shares tips for getting everyone on board.Lean Startup is at risk when it doesn't produce immediate wins or when a key sponsor exits (e.g., the shift in focus at GE after Jeff Immelt's departure). How can organizations safeguard against this?Lean Startup's emphasis on rapid experimentation often clashes with the slow-moving approval processes in big companies. How can corporations adapt, and what structural changes are necessary to allow for cross-functional, agile teams?Ben discusses how breaking down silos and empowering cross-functional teams is essential for Lean Startup success, and why the phrase "we’re not a startup" needs to be reframed to align with corporate goals like cutting costs, improving NPS, and avoiding past failures.Large corporations are often risk-averse and bound by strict governance. How can Lean Startup models align with these realities, and how do organizations deal with basic barriers like permission to use the right tools?Enterprises are used to long-term planning and predictable outcomes. How can leaders balance these with Lean Startup's iterative, experiment-driven approach without losing sight of core business goals?Ben explores how the VC-inspired approach of staged funding, lots of small bets, and measuring innovation metrics instead of pure ROI can drive corporate innovation.Corporate cultures aren’t always built for the speed and ownership required by Lean Startup. Slow decision-making and the need for consensus can stifle progress. What cultural shifts are necessary to make this work?Corporate inertia and resistance to change are notorious in large organizations. How can Lean Startup help break through these barriers to create meaningful, lasting innovation?Ben discusses the pros and cons of externalizing innovation through Lean Startup teams, innovation outposts, or whether it’s better to invest in startups directly through corporate venture capital (CVC).Show Notes:Ben on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hafeleLean Startup Co: https://leanstartup.coLean AI Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1M9pu1POlen6tXqJCqt_Y-YVBAtygiRp439.

02:06:10|Steve Hughes is an internationally renowned stand up comedian who tells it like it is, refusing to shy away from the confonting and what is often interpreted as controversial. Steve is incredibly observant, bringing with him worldly insights into the bleeding obvious and comes armed with what he says is more issues than an Occupy movement.Steve spent the first half of his career as a heavy metal drummer for bands such as Mortal Sin before burning up the international comedy circuit, which he has been doing for more than 12 years now, having toured throughout Europe, Australia, USA, Canada & New Zealand to rave reviews and mutinous laughter.However, don’t be fooled, this conversation goes way beyond the realm of just comedy and heavy metal and we spend the majority of the two hours exploring topics such as political correctness and identity politics, Steve’s battle with depression, free will, the suppression of freedom of speech, preference falsification, feminism, disidentification with ego, leaning into adversity and bombing onstage, the state of the music industry, drugs, technology addiction, participation trophies and much much more.A word of warning, this podcast is not safe for work, and is not for the faint at heart.With that, let’s kick off my two hour deep dive with the inimitable Steve Hughes.Note: This podcast episode is NSFW.Topics Discussed:Political correctnessIdentity politicsSteve’s battle with depressionFree willThe suppression of freedom of speechPreference falsificationDisidentification with egoLeaning into adversityBombing on stageThe state of the music industryAustralia’s tall poppy syndromeBeware of people bearing absolutesLegislating feelingsWhy the crowd is your barometerLeading with your heartBuddhism and non-dualismDrugsTaking ownership and victim mentalitiesWhy being offended is a choiceLiving with Jim JefferiesTechnology addictionParticipation trophiesColonial regulations and Conservatism in AustraliaSteve’s views on general practitionersSteve’s early days on the metal sceneSteve’s early days on the comedy circuitShow Notes:Steve’s website: www.SteveHughes.net.au438.

01:01:30|Jason Fried thinks deeply about collaboration, productivity and the nature of work. He's the co-founder of project management platform Basecamp. Founded in 1999, Basecamp has been recognised by Forbes as one of America’s best small businesses. His 2010 TED talk on ‘Why Work Doesn’t Happen At Work’ has been viewed over 5 million times.He’s also the co-author of Rework, which is about new ways to conceptualize working and creating, as well as the brand new ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work’, in which he rejects the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today. The Economist called the book funny, well-written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year.As somebody who shares many of Jason’s philosophies on work, I really enjoyed this conversation. Organisations are projected to invest US$2T into digital transformation by 2022 to make them more efficient, but they could reap what I would argue are vastly greater rewards, not only in terms of productivity but in terms of employee wellness, if they just changed the way they work today.Jason and I unpacked many lessons on productivity from his book, including:Why is everybody ‘so, so busy’?Why more people doesn’t mean faster or better outcomes; andA handful of simple changes that you can make today to radically increase your productivity and enjoyment of work and lifeTopics Discussed:Why being busy has become a badge of honourThe dangers of not getting enough sleepThe peril of managers and meetingsBrook’s LawWhy 80 hour work weeks aren’t spent actually workingFacilitating outcomes with a remotely distributed teamJason’s notion of a ‘calm company’Why Basecamp has rejected hundreds of offers from venture capitalists and investorsWhy raising capital shouldn’t be conflated with success for startupsSetting realistic deadlinesSo-called perks that are designed to keep people in the officeHow to defend your timeCommitment, not consensusUsing work as an excuse not to liveOvercollaboration in the workplaceOutsourcing accountability and blameHow to say noJason’s rituals and routinesShow Notes:Basecamp.com (project and team communications software)Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/Doesnt-Have-Be-Crazy-Work/dp/0062874780Twitter: @jasonfriedMedium: @jasonfriedJason’s TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried_why_work_doesn_t_happen_at_work?language=en---Employee to Entrepreneur podcast on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/employeetoentrepreneurpodcast Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts @ goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski |

It's becoming increasingly important for businesses to leverage on technology especially in marketing. It becomes easier to target your audience and improve the speed of delivering your services and with the entry of IoT, things might just get better in the future. The cost of doing business is also likely to go down significantly, for example in the field of hiring when you hire virtual staffs.
We asked entrepreneurs their thoughts on the effect of technology on the future of their business.
#1- Two effects
Process Automation is going to be huge: As an online entrepreneur, I have seen massive growth in the automation in email marketing. The technology today allows you to collect email subscribers and segment the subscribers and send autoresponders which makes the entire process very easy and highly targeted. This photo helps in notching the readers and making more sales.2. Artificial intelligence will get more prominent: AI is going to be more prominent in the online business world. We also see chatbots becoming very common in areas such as collecting email ids or providing a basic level of support. As technology gets more evolved we will see more artificial intelligence in e-commerce sites where it can help you choose a specific product or give you recommendations.

#2- Several drastic changes
As an Accountant and Tax Preparer, Technology has drastically changed the way I run my business. Not only do I now do all my bookwork, tax preparation, and filings on a computer, thus using less paper, but I am also meeting less with my clients personally. In the future, I feel that all of my communication with my clients will be via email, text and video calls versus face to face meetings. My need for bookshelves will almost be eliminated with continuing online education and digital books. Trips to the post office will become a thing of the past as information shared between my clients and myself will be transmitted by encrypted portals, bank feeds and the like. Payments will be made and accepted electronically thus eliminating the need to go to the bank. In many ways, technology will have a positive effect on my business by making me more efficient, more accessible, and give me the ability to help more clients in the long run. But I have to admit that a big part of me is going to miss the one on one interaction with my clients, who in the past have become close friends due to the slower pace of life before the onslaught of modern technology.

#3- Accessibility
One of the fabulous fringe benefits of the proliferation of technology is the ability for most users to be able to use their personal laptop or home computer to develop their technical skills! At Excel Exposure, we provide online interactive Microsoft Excel training and skill development. As technology improves, we've found that more and more of our users are able to access, view and absorb the information. With high-quality HD streaming being more and more prevalent, the ability to bring university-level quality education to the masses is now here!
Thanks to Ben Currier, ExcelExposure.com!
#4- Mass exodus to the cloud
We are in the technology field, namely in data centers. One huge trend is the mass exodus to the cloud. Instead of companies hosting their own data centers, many more are moving all of their servers out into the cloud. This includes many different flavors from bare metal servers to Software as a Service to serverless computing. We have migrated most of our services into SaaS but we still maintain some storage and file functions in-house. The effect is that we can run cheaper, leaner, and have more resiliency. We know exactly how much we are going to spend each year based on our licenses.
Thanks to Drew Farnsworth, Green Lane Design!
#5- Notifying people via social media platforms
Being a software company we’re constantly seeing our industry evolve and staying on top of those changes is something we take seriously. When we first started DialMyCalls around 10 years ago very few people used Mobile Apps or even visited websites on their phones; now a huge piece of our business is mobile-related. We’ve developed iOS / Android apps for our customers to use as well as completely redeveloped our entire website in order for customers to access their account on a mobile phone or tablet. Our company is a mass notification service which primarily notifies people via phone call or text message; we’re starting to see an evolution of also needing to notify people via social media platforms so that will be a big piece of our business going forward. It’s important to keep your ear to the ground and most importantly listen to your customers, keep a running tally of their requests and try to watch trends of people asking for features or options; from there you can plan out your next moves and offerings going forward.
Thanks to David Batchelor, DialMyCalls!
#6- Use of AI in hiring and recruitment
As a B2B SaaS consultant who works with dozens of SaaS companies per year, I already see major changes in hiring and recruiting in enterprise SaaS due to tech. Sifting through hundreds and thousands of resumes is a major pain point, so some companies are ditching the resume and using AI-powered skill testing with software such as Vervoe. Not only does ditching the resume save time but skill assessment tests are much better indicators of job performance. Resumes are also a pain point for potential candidates, I can't tell you how many of my friends have talked about how difficult it is to fill out job applications all day and also never hear back from anyone. I'm super excited to see how tech will continue to impact this process in the future.
Thanks to Nichole Elizabeth DeMeré
#7- Better strategies from marketers
Technology is going to have (and is having) a huge impact on our ability to test all areas of marketing content. Machine learning is going to rapidly speed up the pinpointing of effective marketing content – from ad creatives to long-form content – and their impact on our search rankings. Technology is also going to put more pressure on our ability to be creative and strategize. For a long time, many marketers have confused tactics with strategies and this shift to leveraging technology to find data correlations is going to shine more light on those marketers who can strategize effectively.
Thanks to Bernard May, National Positions!
#8- Key differentiator
In this day and age, business owners and entrepreneurs must know the ins and outs of all aspects of business and must be significantly educated on technology, such as social media, mobile technology, innovations like the cloud, along with hardware such as security and backup systems. As many businesses today are expanding online and onto mobile platforms, it is crucial to be educated in these fields in order to stay ahead of competition. In this vein, the effect that technology will have on business, in general, is that it will differentiate those who are paying attention to it and those who are not. Specifically, however, technology has played a vital role in our company. The transfer of medical records between providers in the healthcare industry has always been a problematic process causing physicians to spend months and vital physician and staff time when switching EHRs. With the advent of today's technology, we were able to create our proprietary technology to help providers move and integrate their patient records safely, seamlessly and pain-free, which was not possible just 5 years ago. In the future, we will be able to not only transfer data, but pull discrete data from typed and even handwritten documents.
Thanks to Ilya Aronovich, MedaDoc!
#9- Increase in the technologies in the market
I started a global branding and marketing firm 17 years ago before there was social media so technology has already had a big impact on business since I started my company I predict the pace of new technologies coming onto the market will only increase going forward and since the pace of business today is faster than ever with technology on 24/7 I think the only way to survive is to create pockets of calm in the storm. The winners in the future will leverage the convenience, efficiency and speed of technology and still find ways to connect on a personal level with their customers. There will be an even bigger role in the future for the businesses that can connect the dots, humanize their brands and curate the wisdom from all the noise out there which is only going to be a bigger distraction down the road. There will always be a market for businesses that make things simple, fun and/or easy. Technology can only get you so far.

#10- Building websites that are voice search ready
The technology that is going to have the biggest impact on our business in the coming years in undoubtedly voice technology. We’re all aware of how rapidly voice technology has been growing over recent years and the point has come where we need to start preparing our websites to be voice search ready. Whether it be personal assistants such as the Amazon Echo, or one of the numerous phones which have a built-in voice assistant, most tech savvy people now have regular access to a voice search device and these people are beginning to learn how to use this technology as part of their everyday lives. We’ve been aware of how voice search is going to impact SEO for a while and we’ve already began thinking about how we can optimise pages for voice search in the near future. However, the rapid growth of the technology means we’ve also got to begin thinking beyond this. People don’t just want to use voice search to find websites on the internet, they want to use it to interact with websites. In the future, I can see us having to build websites that can understand voice commands, such as “what are the best deals for holidays to Florida” and then displaying the deals a website has available. That’s definitely something I see us doing in the future, which is both challenging and exciting.
Thanks to Clare Watson, Zolv!
#11- Big change via RankBrain
In terms of advancing technology, I anticipate artificial intelligence will have the biggest impact on my business. Right now, I predict a big change via RankBrain – Google's machine learning artificial intelligence system. In case you don't already know, machine learning refers to computers that can teach themselves how to do a task, without following guidelines set by humans. In terms of advancing technology, I anticipate artificial intelligence will have the biggest impact on my business. Right now, I predict a big change via RankBrain – Google's machine learning artificial intelligence system. In case you don't already know, machine learning refers to computers that can teach themselves how to do a task, without following guidelines set by humans.RankBrain will change the way small businesses, like mine, create content for SEO-purposes. By enabling Google to filter and process billions of search results in real time, with the goal of providing the most relevant results, we won't only have to target keywords, but also identify what Google thinks is the search intent and create content around that.
Thanks to Jonathan Prichard, MattressInsider.com!
#12- Improving the quality of data
Technology is constantly changing, often faster than our imaginations. We're just beginning to witness the possibilities that Internet of Things (IoT) technology can bring to the workplace, for example, by harnessing valuable information from people, equipment, machines and the environment. Over the next several years, the quantity, types and quality of data collected will grow, helping to replace assumptions and anecdotes with objective data to make more informed, timely decisions. The possibilities of what we can do with – and learn from – this groundswell of data will only be limited by our imaginations.
Thanks to Pete Schermerhorn, Triax Technologies!
#13- Confirmation of higher percentage ROI
Technology will enable my online discount coupon business to deliver specific discount coupons to specific online audience at pinpoint precision. AI driven searching tools will help me to identify and categorize different types of audience according to their buying habits. For example a jeans-lover customer will always be notified for garment stores’ coupons, never for grocery coupons. This will ensure us to generate more business and my customers to save money every-time while shopping international brands online.

The Green Corridor as a Tool to Accelerate Decarbonization
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. Key stakeholders are looking at ways to build a business case for sustainable maritime transport.
In October 2022, the Port of Gothenburg and the Port of Rotterdam signed a memorandum of understanding for a green corridor by finding ways to stimulate the use of new alternative fuels. What has happened since? Can we learn from best practices taken from existing green corridors? And can maritime green corridors become an important tool to accelerate decarbonization in the maritime transport sector?
Port of Gothenburg and Port of Rotterdam share their insights.
Building a Business Case for Sustainable Maritime Transport
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. But what are some of the challenges that key stakeholders experience today? What are the costs involved and how can the burden be shared? What are some incentives needed to take first steps?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we bring together ports, shipowners, cargo owners and regulatory authorities to discuss the state of play in the transition to sustainable shipping.
The Impact of EU’s Fit for 55 on the Maritime Sector
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. The EU is well underway to adopt the Fit for 55 package, containing proposals that set intra-EU shipping on the pathway to complete decarbonization by 2050.
What does the Fit for 55 package entail for actors in the maritime transport industry that operate in the EU? Does it create sufficient incentives to initiate the development of new fuels and technologies before 2030?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we will look at these questions together with experts in the field.
Getting the World on Board – the International Maritime Organization’s Sustainability Efforts
Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and carries over 80% of the volume of trade in goods. It also accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Legal structures to incentivize the transition to sustainable shipping are coming into place. The EU is well underway to adopt the Fit for 55 package, containing proposals that set intra-EU shipping on the pathway to complete decarbonization by 2050. Meanwhile, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced a rating system as a stimulus to reduce carbon intensity, with the goal of cutting emissions from international shipping by at least half by 2050.
What are the latest developments in IMO’s greenhouse gas-strategy? Is it possible to get all countries on board with its sustainability goals? How does Fit for 55 affect what IMO is doing? And does the IMO CII regulation truly create a level playing field for shipping companies and cargo owners around the world?
During this Sustainable Maritime Transport Forum, we will look at these questions together with experts in the field.
”IMO – the International Maritime Organization – is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine and atmospheric pollution by ships. IMO’s work supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.” (Source: IMO.org)
Baltic Sea trade in the 17th Century – Maritime Relations between Sweden and the Netherlands
Opening by Bengt van Loosdrecht, Ambassador for the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Sweden, on solving the global challenges of our time and the importance of a sustainable maritime transport sector.
An introduction to Baltic Sea trade in the 17th century and the maritime relations between Sweden and the Netherlands by Håkan Strömberg, Historian at the Museum of Gothenburg.
The relations between Sweden and the Netherlands go back four hundred years, when King Gustav II Adolf invited Dutch city planners and tradesmen to build Gothenburg. Since then, our countries have developed strong ties through maritime trade, industrialization and innovation. Who were the key players in these developments? What essential goods did Sweden export and what expertise did the Dutch bring? Historian Håkan Strömberg will talk us through in a concise and humorous presentation.

How can innovation leaders inspire international teams to collaborate and innovate for global and local impact? A rapidly changing innovation landscape that is multicultural and digitally connected requires new competencies for leading strategic initiatives.
On June 29th, founder and Executive Director Karina R. Jensen and Global Innovation and Marketing Leader Bryan Semkuley delivered an insightful webinar on the challenges of leading and facilitating a collaborative innovation process across geographies. A lack of attention to cultural considerations can negatively impact every phase of the innovation process, from concept to market.
The importance of market insights backed by cultural intelligence, concept creation that factors international needs, co creating strategic plans with local team engagement and execution backed by market readiness are required for successful global innovations. Building collaboration for international projects requires trust building and open communication. Innovation leaders need cultural intelligence when engaging with local teams to ensure an inclusive design process. Leaders need to create an open and safe environment to encourage idea sharing and initiative-taking. Responsiveness to idea sharing can either be through constructive feedback or setting up cross cultural teams to facilitate knowledge sharing. Towards this, digital platforms can be leveraged to create community ecosystems for knowledge sharing.
Brian Semkuley pointed out that building an innovation culture will require innovation leaders to demonstrate cultural empathy. Leaders need to be supportive of idea sharing and demonstrate responsiveness to market needs by ensuring local input is being used in the innovation process. Innovation leaders should consider the complete network and innovation strategy at the front end of the gatekeeping process. Moving from a sequential to concurrent model, receiving inputs on execution early in the design process, testing the product in a lead market will all contribute to understanding prior to global launch. Importance of regular and frequent communication to all stakeholders was also emphasized.
Participants were taken through the Global Innovation Readiness framework developed for leaders responsible for global initiatives and based on a decade of research across industries. The framework consists of three key drivers that facilitate collaboration throughout every phase of the innovation cycle: Vision through inclusive leadership and strategic co-creation; Dialogue through open knowledge-sharing and cross-cultural learning, and Space powered by an innovation culture and creative team climate.
Webinar participants were asked to reflect on three questions concerning global launch readiness in preparation for taking the Score Card challenge where everyone could make an individual assessment if they were ready to launch.
- Do you have a Global vision or plan that is shared by teams worldwide?
- Are teams and regions aligned across functions and cultures?
- Are teams ready to communicate and execute in every geographical location?
The new Global Innovation Readiness Compass tool was shared with all of the participants to address challenges and opportunities in designing an effective innovation process. With their Global Readiness scores in hand, participants could optimize the canvas map tool for planning and preparing upcoming initiatives. An inclusive and structured process helps identify actionable steps for driving innovation performance and results.
It was an insightful webinar where participants were given invaluable tools and tips to prepare for successful global initiatives.

For yrs, it has been an post of religion in company The usa that cloud computing and synthetic intelligence will fuel a surge in prosperity-generating productivity. That belief has influenced a flood of venture funding and firm paying out. And the payoff, proponents insist, will not be confined to a compact group of tech giants but will spread across the financial system.
It has not took place however.
Efficiency, which is defined as the price of merchandise and services made for each hour of perform, fell sharply in the very first quarter this calendar year, the governing administration documented this month. The quarterly numbers are usually risky, but the report seemed to sprint earlier hopes that a productivity revival was eventually underway, aided by accelerated investment in electronic systems all through the pandemic.
The growth in efficiency because the pandemic strike now stands at about 1% every year, in line with the meager rate considering that 2010 — and significantly underneath the last extend of strong improvement, from 1996 to 2004, when productivity grew much more than 3% a calendar year.
Economies develop not only by introducing far more cash and labor. An additional essential component is a nation’s skill in generating and commercializing innovation, which will make expenditure and workers extra productive.
Seemingly compact proportion gains in productivity can make a large distinction in a country’s wealth and dwelling expectations about time. Even an supplemental 1% annual boost in efficiency more than a few decades, to 2024, would create an extra $3,500 in per capita cash flow for Americans, McKinsey & Co. estimated in a report very last calendar year. The 3.8% average yearly get from 1948 to 1972 was the engine of the nation’s postwar prosperity.
Productiveness is not a treatment-all for financial ills. “Even if the optimism about this wave of electronic technological innovation proves justified, that does not mean there will be a serious sharing of the advantages,” stated Laura Tyson, a professor at the Haas University of Enterprise at the University of California, Berkeley, and a chair of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Clinton administration.
But a a lot less effective financial state is a smaller sized one particular with much less sources to deal with social problems like inequality.
The current productivity puzzle is the issue of spirited discussion between economists. Robert Gordon, an economist at Northwestern College, is the major skeptic. Today’s artificial intelligence, he said, is primarily a technology of pattern recognition, poring as a result of wide troves of terms, photos and figures. Its feats, in accordance to Gordon, are “impressive but not transformational” in the way that electric power and the inside combustion motor were being.
Erik Brynjolfsson, director of Stanford University’s Electronic Economy Lab, is the leader of the optimists’ camp. He confesses to getting rather disappointed that the productiveness pickup is not nonetheless obvious but is confident it is only a make a difference of time.
“Real alter is occurring. A tidal wave of transformation is underway,” Brynjolfsson explained. “We’re seeing more and far more info on the floor.”
It will probably be years prior to there is a definitive remedy to the productivity debate. Brynjolfsson and Gordon created a “long bet” final yr, with the winner decided at the end of 2029. But research at the business and business concentrations, tapping knowledge that ranges from Census Bureau company surveys to on-line career listings, show the pattern of technological know-how diffusion and the obstacles.
The leaders are predominantly massive companies that have been investing in electronic know-how for yrs and superior-expansion young organizations, which are frequently backed by enterprise cash. Cloud computing is pretty commonly adopted, but not the most highly developed technological know-how, like AI programs.
The confined uptake, some experts say, is not so stunning at this stage, given that 3-quarters of U.S. businesses are tiny, with less than 10 workers.
At Anthem, a well being insurance provider whose ideas protect a lot more than 45 million people, about 75% of the shopper thoughts are now dealt with by means of its digital channels, such as a internet portal, a cellular app and speech recognition software package. Three decades previously, the electronic share was about 30%. The issue-answering technological know-how to enable men and women with basic duties like checking the status of a claim, paying a invoice or finding a physician is animated partly by AI.
Digital automation has eliminated 10 million cell phone phone calls that Anthem’s call facilities would have fielded, believed Rajeev Ronanki, president of digital platforms.
Anthem, which is modifying its company identify next month to Elevance Health, is not chopping its purchaser support staff. But the role of people staff and how their functionality is measured have altered. The conventional metric of performance in call facilities is “call-manage time,” and the fewer time for every contact, the greater. Anthem now wishes its client support employees to resolve troubles for callers with 1 simply call, when doable, rather than passing them to a different section.
Lots of of its phone center agents have gained additional teaching to become what Anthem calls “care navigators.” Measurements of their overall performance now include things like challenges solved and client satisfaction surveys. By that broader established of steps, Ronanki said, the company’s get in touch with brokers are 30-40% much more successful. Adding skills and redesigning work, he explained, are as crucial as improving upon technologies.
“Building the complex capacity by itself is just the starting,” Ronanki stated.
It requires time for new systems to spread and for people to determine how to best use them. For illustration, the electric powered motor, which was introduced in the 1880s, did not crank out discernible productivity gains until finally the 1920s, when the mass-output assembly line reorganized get the job done all-around the technological know-how.
The private computer system revolution took off in the 1980s. But it was not until eventually the 2nd half of the 1990s that financial productiveness seriously surged, as those machines became much less expensive, more powerful and related to the internet.
The 1990s revival was served by a leap in technology financial commitment by organizations and by enterprise capitalists, particularly in net and internet startups. Similarly, in the previous ten years, software program expending in the United States has far more than doubled to $385 billion as corporations commit to digitize their operations, exploration organization IDC documented.
Undertaking expense in artificial intelligence startups throughout the world amplified far more than 80% last 12 months to $115 billion, in accordance to PitchBook, which tracks funding.
Cresta is an AI startup attempting to make a dent in the modern day productivity challenge. In 2020, Cresta released its preliminary product or service: authentic-time advice and coaching software program for connect with heart agents. Its technology digests massive volumes of text and voice discussions to discover styles of behavior and answers to questions that remedy buyer issues or crank out income.
The objective is not to change personnel but to lift their effectiveness, said Zayd Enam, the company’s co-founder and CEO. Cresta’s presenting, he explained, is produced probable by latest improvements in the ability and speed of AI software package, which he described as “game modifying.”
Cresta has 200 workers, has elevated extra than $150 million in undertaking funding and has various dozen corporate customers which include Verizon, Cox Communications and Porsche.
CarMax, the nation’s greatest used-car retailer, commenced hoping out the Cresta program in December. The AI experiment followed years of financial commitment to shift the company’s computer system functions to run on extra adaptable, cloud-dependent devices, reported Jim Lyski, executive vice president for technique, promoting and products and solutions.
Shopper inquiries to CarMax’s contact facilities are inclined to be prolonged. Utilised vehicles span distinctive years, types, attributes and driving histories, and financing options for what is a significant acquire change. The range of thoughts is all but endless, Lyski claimed, so purely automatic conversation is not an selection.
But a computing assistant that could aid type all the automotive complexity, presenting authentic-time ideas and facts, was interesting. Cresta initially trained on the CarMax speak to center data, and the experiment started with its dwell chat brokers, who have textual content conversations with buyers.
The working experience has been encouraging, Lyski stated. There has been about a 10% improvement in response time, conversion to revenue and decreased session time. And the process keeps understanding and finding much better. The business has begun a pilot job with brokers who field voice calls, lifting the whole quantity of brokers using the AI engineering to 200.
1 worry, Lyski claimed, was how staff would answer to possessing AI in excess of their shoulders. Would it be excellent sufficient to be seen as a welcome helper rather of an annoying distraction? The response has been optimistic, he mentioned.
Cresta started with contact centers as a substantial, early sector since it is a labor-intense area wherever AI can be applied somewhat immediately and productively. But Enam sees its “real-time intelligence AI” perhaps becoming handy in a large selection of understanding operate, acting as a clever assistant in anything from using the services of to product or service development.
“This technology is extra general intent than we see now,” he stated.
Brynjolfsson of Stanford is betting that is real, and Gordon of Northwestern is doubtful. |

Using Consumer Insights to Drive Product Innovation
Atrius Assets – A Cloud-Based Connected Building Software Service of Atrius IoT Solutions
When looking at a cross-section of the most successful, sustainable products, there is a common denominator: sound engineering and product development based on well-defined customer needs. Product innovators know who they are appealing to and what exactly that group of customers wants. In turn, they develop products that meet the customers' needs now and in the future. At Acuity Brands, we apply this same methodology to new product innovations.
In-depth understanding of the customer may seem like common sense, but along the roadmap of product development it can become relatively easy to lose track of this core objective. After all, you are not following WAZE or Google maps. Exotic features, future growth/roadmap considerations, and even costs among other variables can sidetrack product teams. If not managed appropriately these distractions can either become merely inspirational or detrimental to a product’s development.
With AtriusTM Assets cloud-based software service, Acuity Brands looked at what customers wanted now and what future problems they were looking to solve. This approach enables the delivery of a scalable, fully-integrated software solution that evolves and adapts based on customers’ needs. Acuity Brands recognizes that improving the consumer experience is the top business priority of global business and technology decision makers over the next 12 months (Source: Forrester Research, “The Top Retail Technology Investments in 2018”, June 2018). The Atrius Assets service enables equipment and resource tracking, and it is part of Atrius IoT Solutions that leverages lighting as a platform (LaaP), allowing customers to have greater insight that can be used for the purpose of providing a better customer experience. The question we asked was, “how could you use the digital lighting network once installed in a connected building? And, how could that intelligent infrastructure track resources and bring value for people, building and ultimately, the business?”
The answer is it’s possible as these resource investments open customers in the retail industry to receive more insights into their consumers’ wants and needs in the buying experience. According to a Forrester survey, “81% of US online adults are comfortable with retailers using information to personalize their experience” (Source: Forrester Research, “The Top Retail Technology Investments in 2018”, June 2018). Therefore, consumers welcome the sharing of data and analytics to better meet their expectations if they can trust the retailer. Using a software service to collect useful information can help retailers accomplish their business goals and objectives.

Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders
This year, 23 students from our Frank & Eileen Accelerator Program for the Leaders of Tomorrow embarked on 17 innovative business ventures through our Incubator and Accelerator programs. With weekly curriculum guidance and mentor consultations, they transformed their ideas into actionable plans. In the Incubator, students tackled real-world problems and prototyped solutions. In the Accelerator, they advanced their businesses by analyzing markets and collaborating with industry experts. The year culminated in a business pitch and networking reception at the 2024 Incubator and Accelerator Showcase.
A highlight of the event was Accelerator student Penelope P. ’25 receiving the Atherton Award for her startup, Track Tutoring, which connects students with on-demand tutoring clients, making tutoring more affordable and accessible.
The Atherton Award celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit in young women, encouraging the next generation of girls to pursue careers in entrepreneurship and STEM. Initially open to schools in the United Kingdom, founder Amber Atherton expanded this notable award to schools in the United States. The winner receives a trophy, a monetary prize for the next phase of their business journey, and mentoring with Ms. Atherton herself.
In presenting the award, Ms. Atherton said,
“Today I am delighted to recognize Penelope as this year’s Atherton Award winner for starting Track Tutoring. The startup solves two problems: for college students to earn a high wage and find on-demand tutoring clients, and for parents and kids to efficiently access tutors paying by the minute to increase affordability. With this start-up capital and in our mentoring sessions, I’m excited to see Penelope develop her business further.”
Through programs like the Frank & Eileen Accelerator Program for the Leaders of Tomorrow, Marlborough students are not just dreaming; they are actively shaping the future with their groundbreaking ventures, driving positive change in the world. |

While the climate tech sector booms, there’s one area that’s often overlooked: the storytelling technologies and tools to help people grasp the enormity of challenges ahead — after all, even after the warmest year on record, a narrative can make all the difference when it comes to action.
The Conviction of Experiential Technology
The experiential technology sector of the economy is only poised to grow in the coming years, reaching $63 billion in 2030. Whether it’s the arrival of the Apple Vision Pro or the fact that Gen Z spends more money on experiences than any previous generation, the reality is that effective storytelling – driven by technology – will garner the most attention in a noisy world.
The uniqueness of experiential technology lies in its potential to create immersive and engaging consumer experiences that can significantly enhance recall, engagement and loyalty. The technology involves a blend of hardware, software, and content that work together to deliver fully immersive experiences to users, effectively bridging the gap between digital and physical worlds for connected “phygital” experiences.
The appeal of experiential technology lies in its potential to create strong emotional connections, and most importantly, act as an inspiring catalyst to change. Whether it’s the ‘Moment Vault’ at Orlando International Airport, which uses 3D motion capture and high-resolution digital content to create personalized experiences for travelers, or ‘Mars: The Next Giant Leap’ at the Carnegie Science Center, which transports visitors to a 300-million-mile space journey, these emotional experiences are unforgettable — and powerful narrative tools in shaping public perception.
The Tree of Life at COP 28
Humans are experiential creatures. We thrive when we have hands-on, tangible experiences that tell us stories. We remember more, we engage more, we connect more. And thanks to technology, we’re able to exponentially increase our ability to connect with the stories that drive change.
This truism was top-of-mind for the 2023 COP28 UN Climate Change Conference, where [INVNT GROUP] was tasked with driving home the pressing need for action to the 280k+ people in attendance.
So rather than implementing something static, we leaned into what works: experiential technology that makes the invisible visible and brings people closer to not just the problem, but also each other.
We asked: what if a tree could communicate with us? The result was The Tree of Life, an iconic 4-meter tall Ghaf tree that leveraged a unique Al-driven digital language to respond to delegates in real-time, transforming inputs into unique artworks to underscore that small changes make a big difference at scale.
The Tree of Life was an interactive beacon to not only catalyze conversations among those drawn to its magnetic presence but also to share with their friends and ultimately drive action. The results were heartening: thousands of attendees signed the digital pledge to contribute to a better world. Combining technology with human touch, the Tree of Life built a bridge between mother nature and humans.
Stories Catalyze Change
The continuous evolution of technology means that new opportunities for innovative applications in experiential marketing are always emerging, making it a growing and highly exciting field. The key to success in this field is collaboration with experts across various disciplines to ensure that the technology-centric experience elicits emotion and tells a story that leaves a lasting impression.
Of course, it takes more than just imagination to change the world – but it’s that imagination that drives action, as people visualize the ways they can effect change and put those into action every day. The wonders of the world, when enhanced with technology, offer opportunities to elevate pressing conversations into clarity, action and purpose.

If you want to learn how to more effectively embrace change, read Build For Tomorrow, by Jason Feifer, Editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine and host of the podcasts Build For Tomorrow and Problem Solvers.
“My book is for anyone facing down an uncertain future, as well as a practical guide for every entrepreneur and aspiring entrepreneur,” says Feifer.
Organized around the four phases of change, Feifer shares personal insights and learnings from his interviews with success entrepreneurs and changemakers who have experienced tectonic shifts in work, culture, and life.
The four phases of change are:
- Panic
- Adapt
- New Normal
- Wouldn’t Go Back – When we gain something so new and great that we wouldn’t want to go back to a time before we had it.
“Change is coming. It’s here. It cannot be stopped! And when it comes for us, we really only two choices – to embrace it, or to fight a losing fight,” explains Feifer.
Therefore, Feifer teaches that:
- When in the Panic phase of change, pause when other panic.
- Next, in Adaptation, change first or, better yet, before you have to.
- Within the New Normal phase, lead the charge to change.
- And, finally, in the Wouldn’t Go Back phase, seize new opportunities.
By reading the book, you’ll learn in great detail how to accelerate the change process—lessen your panic, adapt faster, define the new normal, and thrive going forward.
Jason Feifer
Feifer answers these questions for us:
Question: Of the four phases of change, which is typically the most difficult for people to work through and why?
Feifer: You'd think it would be Panic, but here's the thing about that phase: Everyone knows that panic feels terrible, so they'll do whatever they can to stop feeling that way. That's why I think the hardest phase is really New Normal — because that's where we get comfortable again, and people love comfort. A lot of people stop evolving at New Normal; they don't push themselves to make that extra step, and really challenge the way they work and live.
Question: Change is one of the most difficult things for people. Do you believe the pandemic helped demonstrate to people that change can be good? And will that learning carry forward?
Feifer: It definitely demonstrated that. I don't mean to discount loss and tragedy, which of course happened, but it is also true that many people and companies experienced tremendous growth. So, what happens next time these people confront change? I hope they'll remember this moment and feel more empowered, but they'll also have to be careful not to fall into the "This Time Is Different" mindset. It happens all the time — we know that change helped us before, but now we see a new change and we think this time is different. But it's not. Yes, every change looks and feels a little different, but the experience and potential are ultimately the same.
Question: What is your biggest piece of advice to readers who want to be more forward thinking?
Feifer: Consider why change is so hard. Here's my theory: We often equate it with loss, and loss is so much easier to see than to see gain. We know what we're comfortable with, and therefore we know what we'll lose -- and because we want to see the future, we start to extrapolate that loss? We think: "I'll lose this, and then I'll lose this, and then I'll lose that..."
But, that's not how it works. Change leads to gain too, and that's much harder to see. So we need to start training ourselves to not only trust that there's gain, but also to start extrapolating the gain: To say, "this could lead to that, which will provide me with that, which will..."
Thank you to the book’s publisher for sending me an advance copy of the book.

Technology. We see it happening all around us, from e-design to virtual assisting, even hopping on video calls when you can't be there in person. So, what's next for our industry? Many of you (myself included) already utilize programs such as Sketchup and Chief Architect to show your clients 3D views of the space you're designing for them. And if this is not your forte, then you can outsource it to assistants like me, which is a win win for all!
I have seen many designers utilize video for their businesses with amazing results. Some examples include going live on Instagram and/or Facebook, YouTube videos or channels, Instagram/Facebook stories, video conference calls, live call in shows... I mean I could go on and on! There is another great way to utilize video though that I am not seeing as much of, so I am now offering a service to do just that.
Even with 3D renderings, at times it can be difficult for your client to visualize their space. Sometimes clients just need to see the full picture, almost as if they were in the space and walking around. So, I present to you-- 360 Degree Walk Through Videos. <-- Click to see this page on my website, and check out this example to see what it's all about!
Are you seeing how this could benefit your business? If so, please get in touch with me, I'd love to help! I personally think that these videos would pair perfectly with a couple of photo-realistic renderings of the space to show your client the full package.

On November 13th the Munich Startup Demo Night opens its doors for the 14th time in the „Tonhalle“ in Munich’s „Werksviertel“. Twice a year, this event demonstrates the innovative ability of Bavarian startups. In recent years, this event has changed from an insider tip to a real innovation monitor. If you want to know which start-ups are working on innovative concepts and products, you will find it here. So it is not very surprising that visitors with a wide range of interests can be found at the exhibition stands. In addition to visitors with a common interest, there are also entrepreneurial managers, business angels and VC investors.
Our team from Cloud Item will also be showing innovative products and solutions.
We are developing a B2B platform for digital twins. Customers will have the ability to have all relevant information and data for their products from different sources at one point. The focus is on the authenticity of goods and products, but also on traceability in the supply chain or an exchange of information in the digital city.
What will we show in detail at the Munich Startup Demo Night?
We are especially fascinated by the opportunities and challenges of the digital city. Based on a current project for a customer, we will show a partial solution under the theme of „smart waste“. We will also have our solution for the protection against plagiarism of merchandise and semi-finished products at our exhibition stand. As another practical solution, we are showing an implementation for the logistics segment. It involves combining product or delivery information within a digital twin. |

Think differently!
Creative thinking matters now more than ever. Ever since computers were first invented, we have all been told that the world is changing very fast. This is true, and never more so than now.
The pandemic means that we are facing huge upheavals to our businesses. It is absolutely crucial if we are to succeed in the future that we recognise these changes and build them into our thinking.
I am a great advocate of strategic thinking and I believe that right now is probably the most important time in our business career to do some of that strategic thinking and planning.
This cuts across most areas of our businesses. Just to pick a few examples:
HR and staffing
We need to adapt to new ways of working, (working from home is just one example). It is vitally important to involve staff in working out how best to work in the future – including the use of office space.
IT and AI
In order to work in different ways we need different IT. Every single business should be considering it’s IT strategy right now.
AI and algorithm driven decisions are now embedded in our daily lives, across almost everything we do. How should we take account of this in our business decisions?
The environment
Everything we do must take account of our environmental impact. This cuts across everything from how we build our houses, to travel, to use of plastics, to food wastage and use of fossil fuels. If your business does not have this as a central feature of your thinking then you will probably not survive.
Sales & marketing
We need to think of different ways of getting our products to our customers. This is not just the packaging it is in but also how we get our messages across. This is linked closely with the use of AI. Buying decisions are often made now on the basis of what the computer recommends rather than what a human thinks.
Summary
We need to be agile. We need to be creative in our thinking. We need to think outside the box. We need to change, and we need to learn how to change. It is all too easy to try to carry on as before. This simply won’t work any more.
The businesses with the new and innovative ways of working will be the stars of the future. I implore every business to put some time into this, and change. |

The accompanying podcast was created with NotebookLM
This article is the second in a five-part series based on common business problems discussed in the popular Fish Food for Thought newsletters, The Human Condition. In response to the widespread interest generated by that piece, we are diving deeper into these problems, with this article focusing on the balance between big, transformative ideas and incremental improvements, a theme that resonates strongly across industries and leadership discussions.
The Allure of the Big Idea
Big ideas have an undeniable allure. Whether it’s Steve Jobs introducing the iPhone in 2007 and transforming not just the mobile phone industry but music, photography, and personal computing, or Elon Musk’s vision of colonizing Mars, bold, disruptive ideas have a way of capturing imaginations. They promise breakthrough innovations, market dominance, and lasting legacy.
Why do companies chase big ideas? There are several reasons, ranging from external market pressures to internal leadership desires. Venture capitalists often reward companies with potential for exponential growth, and executives want to lead organizations that will be remembered for transforming industries. The excitement of disruption, the thrill of being first-to-market, and the potential for massive profits all make big ideas an attractive pursuit.
Take Apple’s iPhone launch, for example. When Steve Jobs stood on stage to unveil the iPhone, he wasn’t just introducing another phone. He was declaring a bold vision for the future, one where this single device would fundamentally change how we communicate, work, and entertain ourselves. The success of the iPhone exemplifies how a big idea, when executed properly, can reshape industries and drive innovation. However, as we’ll explore, not every big idea has this success story. Chasing big, bold ideas without sufficient groundwork can be risky, especially if they fail to meet market needs or operational feasibility.
The Risk of Overcommitting to the Big Idea
While big ideas can lead to success, they also carry significant risk, particularly when businesses place too much emphasis on a single transformative concept. The case of Juicero serves as a cautionary tale. This Silicon Valley startup raised $120 million to develop a high-tech juicing machine, only to see the product flop when consumers realized they could squeeze the juice packs by hand, rendering the expensive machine unnecessary. Juicero is a prime example of betting too heavily on a big idea that lacked practical value.
Similarly, Google Glass, which promised to revolutionize wearable technology, failed to resonate with the public due to privacy concerns and an unclear value proposition. In 2014, Google set out to change the way people interact with the world through a revolutionary piece of wearable technology: Google Glass. It was supposed to be the next step in the fusion of the digital and physical worlds, a product that would seamlessly integrate augmented reality into everyday life. The device, a pair of sleek, futuristic-looking glasses, came equipped with a tiny display mounted in the corner of the user’s vision. By using voice commands or subtle head movements, wearers could take photos, get directions, send messages, and access the internet, all without needing to pull out a smartphone. But just two years later, Google Glass was quietly pulled from the consumer market. What was supposed to be the future of wearable tech had instead become a cautionary tale of misjudged timing, privacy concerns, and consumer hesitation. These examples demonstrate the danger of becoming enamored with a bold vision while neglecting to address fundamental market needs and consumer readiness.
The Power of Incremental Improvements
In contrast, businesses that pursue continuous, incremental improvements often find greater long-term success. While big ideas promise radical transformation, small steps deliver sustainable progress over time. This approach allows businesses to experiment, gather feedback, and gradually refine their offerings without the high-stakes gamble of betting on one grand idea.
Amazon’s rise from an online bookstore to the world’s largest e-commerce platform illustrates the power of incremental improvements. Jeff Bezos didn’t start with a vision of selling everything from books to cloud services. Instead, Amazon’s growth was fueled by a series of small, calculated steps. Each step, whether adding customer reviews, personalizing shopping experiences, or optimizing its supply chain, was grounded in a deep understanding of customer needs. This culture of constant iteration is what allowed Amazon to launch initiatives like Amazon Prime and become a leader in cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Case Study: Quibi – The Rise and Fall of a Big Idea
In 2020, Quibi launched with all the fanfare one might expect for a platform backed by $1.75 billion in funding and led by two industry titans. Jeffrey Katzenberg, a former Disney chairman and co-founder of DreamWorks Animation, and Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay and Hewlett-Packard, were at the helm. With their combined experience and vision, Quibi promised to revolutionize mobile video streaming with an innovative concept: short-form content specifically designed for mobile phones, or as they branded it, "quick bites" of entertainment.
The timing seemed perfect. Mobile consumption was booming, and people were consuming more content on their phones than ever before. Katzenberg and Whitman envisioned a world where viewers would watch high-quality, bite-sized episodes on the go, whether they were waiting in line at a coffee shop or commuting on public transportation. With an impressive war chest of funds and top-tier talent producing original shows, including Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon, and Chrissy Teigen, Quibi looked poised to make a splash in the streaming market.
But despite its star-studded beginnings, Quibi’s fate was sealed before it truly had a chance to establish itself. What seemed like a winning concept on paper quickly unraveled in the face of unforeseen obstacles, misjudgments about consumer behavior, and a stubborn reliance on the big idea.
At the heart of Quibi's bold concept was a new format for storytelling. Katzenberg and Whitman believed that the future of video entertainment would be defined by short-form, high-quality content created exclusively for mobile phones. These "quick bites" were episodes lasting between 5 to 10 minutes, perfect for the modern viewer with a busy, on-the-go lifestyle. They envisioned people watching on their phones during those spare moments in their day when they had a few minutes to kill but didn't have time for a full-length TV episode or movie.
Quibi's content was designed to be consumed vertically or horizontally, with each viewing mode offering a slightly different perspective. The platform was optimized for mobile, meaning there was no TV or desktop viewing option. Everything about Quibi was built around the idea that consumers wanted quick, polished stories designed for the small screen, tailored to fit into the tiny gaps of their everyday lives.
With content spanning genres like comedy, drama, news, and reality, Quibi secured a roster of Hollywood's best talent. The buzz was undeniable. The entertainment world held its breath as Quibi prepared for its April 2020 launch, eager to see if this new format would usher in the next evolution of mobile entertainment.
Despite its initial promise, Quibi stumbled almost immediately out of the gate. Katzenberg and Whitman had envisioned people watching Quibi on the go. But when the pandemic hit and the world went into lockdown, there was no longer a commuter crowd looking for quick, mobile-friendly content. People were stuck at home, with far more time to consume long-form entertainment on larger screens. Services like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube thrived as audiences sought out more immersive experiences. Meanwhile, Quibi’s rigid mobile-only format felt increasingly out of place.
Another critical miscalculation was the way Quibi underestimated its competition. While Quibi was banking on viewers to pay for short-form content, platforms like YouTube and TikTok were already offering millions of free videos that catered to the same quick-hit viewing habit. Moreover, these platforms had a major advantage: community and interaction. Viewers on YouTube and TikTok were part of a larger ecosystem where they could comment, share, and engage with content creators. Quibi, by contrast, offered no way for viewers to interact with the shows or each other, making the platform feel isolated and disconnected from the social aspect of modern digital consumption.
The final nail in the coffin was the pricing model. Quibi offered a 90-day free trial, after which it charged users $4.99 a month with ads or $7.99 for an ad-free experience. But with so much free content available on other platforms, consumers were hesitant to pay for something they could easily get elsewhere at no cost. Quibi’s premium pricing for short-form content didn’t align with what viewers were willing to pay for in a market where long-form, high-budget shows were available for roughly the same price.
Quibi’s downfall was not simply the result of bad timing or competition; it was the product of a rigid focus on its big idea. Katzenberg and Whitman believed so deeply in their vision of mobile-only, short-form content that they failed to adapt when warning signs began to appear. They ignored the shifting consumption habits during the pandemic, clinging to the belief that their content would resonate even as viewers gravitated toward longer, more immersive formats.
Even more telling was Quibi’s failure to recognize that the idea of short, premium content wasn’t as revolutionary as they had thought. Viewers had already shown that they valued interaction, community, and the flexibility to watch content on multiple devices. By refusing to deviate from its mobile-only approach, Quibi alienated potential users who would have gladly watched the same content on their TVs or computers.
The platform’s inability to pivot quickly in the face of changing circumstances revealed a major flaw in its strategy. Had Quibi been more flexible, more willing to listen to market feedback, and less committed to the grandeur of its initial concept, it might have had a chance to evolve and find its place in a crowded streaming market.
By October 2020, just six months after launch, Quibi shut down operations. Katzenberg and Whitman admitted defeat, returning what remained of their investors' money and pulling the plug on a project that had once been hailed as the future of mobile entertainment.
Quibi’s failure serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of betting everything on a single, big idea. While bold visions can certainly lead to success, they must be grounded in an understanding of market dynamics and consumer behavior. When a company becomes too fixated on its original concept, it runs the risk of ignoring the very people it’s trying to reach. In Quibi’s case, the inability to adapt to changing conditions and consumer expectations was the fatal flaw.
Balancing Big Ideas with Incremental Progress: The Case of Netflix
Perhaps the best example of a company that has successfully balanced bold ideas with incremental improvements is Netflix. When Reed Hastings founded Netflix in 1997, it started as a DVD rental service, a relatively simple concept. But Hastings had a bigger vision. He saw the future of entertainment in streaming, but rather than making an all-or-nothing bet on streaming from the outset, Netflix took a measured approach.
In 2007, when the technology and infrastructure for streaming video were mature enough, Netflix made its shift, initially offering a limited catalog of streaming content alongside its DVD rental service. Over the next decade, Netflix continually improved its service through iterative changes, enhancing its content library, refining its recommendation algorithms, and investing in original programming.
One of Netflix’s most important incremental improvements was its focus on data-driven decision-making. By analyzing viewer habits, Netflix fine-tuned its user interface and content offerings, ensuring that each improvement was informed by real customer feedback. This iterative approach allowed Netflix to scale up its streaming service without alienating its user base, turning it into the entertainment powerhouse it is today.
Why Incremental Progress is Often Overlooked
Despite its advantages, incremental progress is often undervalued in favor of bold, attention-grabbing initiatives. This stems from the fact that small improvements don’t generate the same excitement or media attention as big ideas. Leaders and investors are often more drawn to the potential of major disruptions rather than steady, continuous advancements. Take Brian Chesky’s “new playbook” which moved Airbnb to semi-annual releases as a prime example.
However, companies that embrace incremental improvements are more likely to stay flexible and resilient. They can adapt to changes in the market, test new ideas without overwhelming their resources, and make course corrections as needed. This adaptability is particularly crucial in fast-moving industries like technology, where consumer preferences and market conditions can shift rapidly.
While there are clear advantages to focusing on incremental improvements, the best approach often lies in finding the right balance between big ideas and small steps. Companies like Amazon and Netflix have succeeded because they didn’t rely solely on bold, transformative concepts. They paired their big visions with a commitment to iterative progress.
While admittedly the iPhone was a big idea, even Apple didn’t stop innovating after the initial success. Each new iPhone release brought incremental improvements, better cameras, faster processors, longer battery life, that built on the success of the previous model. This steady refinement kept customers engaged and ensured that Apple stayed ahead of its competition.
Conclusion: The Sustainable Path Forward
Both big ideas and incremental improvements play critical roles in driving business success. Bold visions can inspire breakthroughs, disrupt industries, and create new markets. However, without the disciplined pursuit of continuous, customer-centered improvements, even the most transformative ideas can falter.
For businesses looking to innovate while mitigating risk, the key is to strike a balance. Big ideas should be grounded in reality, informed by data, and paired with an iterative approach to execution. By combining the excitement of bold concepts with the discipline of small steps, companies can build the foundation for long-term success, ensuring that they not only disrupt markets but also sustain their leadership over time.
As we continue this series, we’ll explore the next challenge in the Five Common Business Problems series: "The Brilliant Jerk vs. Team Performance." This issue addresses a frequent dilemma faced by many organizations, how to deal with high-performing individuals who may be exceptional in their personal contributions but toxic to team dynamics. These so-called “brilliant jerks” can often seem indispensable due to their expertise or results, but their negative impact on collaboration, morale, and overall team productivity can be far-reaching. In the next article, we’ll delve into the trade-offs businesses face when managing such individuals, examine the long-term consequences of prioritizing individual talent over team harmony, and explore strategies for building a high-performing team culture where collaboration and mutual respect are paramount. Stay tuned for a deeper look into this critical business challenge and how to strike the right balance between talent and teamwork.
The iPhone wasn't as revolutionary as we like to think. It was absolutely a tipping point moment, but it was also an iteration from predecessors. I was an avid Palm Pilot user in the early days, and later a Palm Treo user. The Blackberry and HP's iPAQ are arguably predecessors that influenced the iPhones design. I still use Swype as the main mode of text entry for my Android phone, and Swype was originally inspired by Palm's Graffiti. Each of these predecessors had, in retrospect, some significant flaws, but that's what incrementalism is all about -- learning and adapting, which is what the iPhone represented. |

New partnership to fast-track innovation in assistive technologies
A partnership between Heriot-Watt University and InnoScot Health has been announced, which aims to fast-track innovation in medical, healthcare, and assistive technologies and better understand clinical and nursing needs in Scotland.
The five-year agreement will see Heriot-Watt University’s Medical Device Manufacturing Centre (MDMC) collaborate with InnoScot Health to help bring new ideas and innovations from healthcare professionals to life.
The strategic relationship will initially focus on identifying new healthcare technologies and the development of prototype medical devices by engaging with clinicians, doctors, nurses, and engineering students.
In addition to the new partnership’s research and development ambitions, both organisations will develop joint Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and training programmes that further develop staff from both organisations in regulatory issues relating to medical devices.
Professor Marc Desmulliez, the manager of the MDMC at Heriot-Watt University, said: “Scotland is renowned for its innovation in health, pioneering techniques and medical devices that are now used worldwide.
“In just two years, the MDMC has created a unique business collaboration model, working with more than 60 companies, accelerating the progression of ideas to market and the adoption of medical devices into clinical settings.
“Specialist training is fundamental to our continued success and we are confident this new strategic partnership will further accelerate Scotland’s innovative medtech SMEs, ultimately benefitting and improving patient care.
“We are looking forward to putting this partnership into practice.”
Based at Heriot-Watt University’s Edinburgh campus, the MDMC is a consortium including the University of Edinburgh, the University of Glasgow, and Robert Gordon University and helps Scotland’s SMEs to translate medical device concepts into commercial products.
Offering free expert advice on, and access to, manufacturing engineering, regulatory issues, and funding, the university’s staff provide technically supported access to its £2 million specialist manufacturing facilities.
Dr Gillian Murray, the deputy principal for business and enterprise at Heriot-Watt University, added: “Entrepreneurialism and collaboration lie at the heart of Heriot-Watt University.
“This partnership has enormous potential to positively impact Scotland’s medical device sector by working closely with clinical individuals and teams that have a first-hand understanding of our healthcare technology needs and the solutions needed to meet them.
“Combining InnoScot Health’s extensive background in commercialisation and regulation with the expert manufacturing engineering guidance of the MDMC will allow us to accelerate medical device innovation across Scotland and beyond.”
InnoScot Health, formerly known as Scottish Health Innovations, works in partnership with NHS Scotland, providing expert intellectual property advice, regulatory expertise, and project management services to support the development and commercialisation of clinical products.
Graham Watson, Executive Chair of InnoScot Health, commented: “This mutually beneficial agreement builds on our successful long-standing relationship with Heriot-Watt University and pools our significant collective expertise.
“It is a landmark moment that will serve to accelerate medical and healthcare opportunities in the first instance with vast possibilities thereafter.
“We are in no doubt that Heriot-Watt’s considerable enterprise credentials and status as a leading innovation and research institution can match our own ambitions whilst helping to underpin our own development aims in the sector.
“We believe it will be a very successful working arrangement for both parties – from the co-creation of novel medical devices with clinicians, doctors, nurses, and engineering students, to working with Heriot-Watt University to develop joint Continuous Professional Development and training programmes to further develop staff from both organisations.”
Companies supported by the MDMC since its launch two years ago (2020) include Confidence Plus, which makes a device for dignity to contain stoma bag leaks.
The MDMC helped Confidence Plus to become the first Scottish organisation to trial new software licensed by NICE for assessment of the company’s product in healthcare management settings. |

Leveraging Technology for Business Growth in 2025
The rapid pace of technological development shows no signs of slowing down. For small business owners and entrepreneurs, staying ahead of tech trends is not just a strategy—it’s a necessity. By leveraging emerging technologies strategically, businesses can unlock growth, streamline operations, and gain a competitive edge in today’s dynamic market.
This guide offers actionable insights into how small businesses can harness the most promising technologies in 2025 to drive success, from enhancing customer experiences to ensuring better operational efficiency.
The Current Tech Landscape in 2025
Technology has transformed virtually every industry, presenting new opportunities and challenges. Here are some key trends to watch:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
AI and ML have matured to become vital tools for businesses. They enable:
- Predictive Insights: AI helps businesses predict customer behaviors, market trends, and demand patterns.

4imag_com_4-top-technology-trends-2025_ | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4164
Top technology trends: Cybersecurity, clean technologies, multifunctional robots and a lot of artificial intelligence. These are the main trends that will characterise 2025, at least according to several consultancy firms that outline the guidelines for the next twelve months every year. There is a risk of repetition because we are still in a transitional phase, but it is clear that everything, or almost everything, revolves around the developments of GenAI, which will influence the choices and objectives of companies, as well as impact a long list of sectors, not only industrial ones. Considering just a few of the best-known and most widespread forecasts, such as those drawn up by Gartner and Capgemini, it is always from AI that we must start in order to try to understand the trends that will take place in the coming months.
The GenAI quantum leap
If so far we have scraped the first layers of a surface that promises to be very deep, we are about to gradually sink our hand into the cauldron of GenAI. The watchword is ‘agentification’, which sums up the evolution of AI systems, which will be increasingly specialised. The transition from isolated and limited activities to interconnected and more complex domains will be accompanied by the ability to plan and act autonomously in order to achieve the user’s predefined goals with reliable results based on concrete data.
This would complete the transformation that, for many insiders, would mark the real beginning of a new era. For it will no longer be man who will have to guide AI, but AI that will guide operations within a system to facilitate and speed up tasks according to the user’s needs. It remains to be seen whether 2025 will be the decisive year for this leap, but the premises for it are there.
Especially in the corporate world, multi-agent systems could prove to be the decisive virtual assistant for making complex decisions quickly, even in unforeseen scenarios. This is a potentially crucial detail for sensitive areas such as healthcare and financial services. The last stage of evolution, then, would be the AI super-agent, capable of managing multiple systems, optimising operations according to the user’s needs. But for this, there is time. The important thing is to go step by step.
Clean technology
Progress, yes, but on condition that the process is sustainable. It is the most heard refrain of recent years, so time is short, and the need to improve things is very urgent. The growth of renewables, biofuels and low-emission hydrogen are tangible results, as is the rise of nuclear energy, which will be a central topic of debate in 2025. Because there is an extreme need for clean energy that can support the huge demand for energy consumption coming from the AI front.
Many chips have been staked on the development of small modular nuclear reactors, although time is needed before concrete results are achieved. In the meantime, investing in invisible ambient intelligence is gaining ground. It is a model made up of low-cost smart mini-sensors that can be used to achieve real-time tracking and sensing solutions that are accessible on a large scale. Again, we are in preliminary tests, but during the first phase, the innovation could simplify stock control and logistics of perishable products, improving efficiency. And that would be no small thing.
Multifunctional robots and cobots
From robots to cobots, the step is short because it is precisely thanks to AI improvements that collaborative robots are already emerging, capable of adapting to different scenarios and constantly learning from the environment in which they operate. That 2025 could be the year of the consecration of the robot metamorphosis is also indicated by the confidence of venture capitalists and corporate executives towards AI-powered robotics, considered by almost half of the sample surveyed by Capgemini Research as one of the top three tech trends of the year. Numbers also depend on the expansion of the sectors in which robots are used, which are particularly important in areas such as agriculture and manufacturing.
Great expectations also concern multifunctional robots designed to operate close to and together with humans. In the medium to long term, their success will depend on the gradual disappearance of traditional robots designed to perform one task identically. It will take time, but the road is marked.
Post-quantum cybersecurity
AI has been disrupting the industry for months now, as it makes it easier for cybercriminals to attack. However, on the corporate and private sides, it also increases the difficulty of hacking a system. Thanks to GenAI, the threats orchestrated by hackers will become increasingly sophisticated in the coming months, with the response of companies shifting from increased investment to automated threat detection. To do this, the emerging solution is post-quantum cryptography, which can protect data from the decryption risks of quantum computing. This shift will force many companies to change their encryption methods. |

Google’s Digital News Initiative received €24 million in second funding, with a commitment of €150 million to fuel European news organizations. The search giant aims to provide funding to European news organizations to fuel innovation in the market.
The funding will be diversified into 125 projects across 25 European countries.
Digital News Initiative has spoken to thousands of newsrooms and individuals to determine the amount of money going into research and development in the sector. The fund has distributed €51 million so far.
The second round of funding looked at collaborative projects that worked with academics, publics, entrepreneurs and designers. The second round included 850 project submissions, and 124 projects will receive funding through the initiative.
Over one-third, or 43 projects funded, are committed towards collaboration and partnership. Collaboration across newsrooms is expected to excite the European news sector and upcoming companies.
German companies received €5 million in funding followed by Spanish companies, which received €2.1 million. Norway received €1.98 million and the U.K. received €1.76 million.
Individual funding ranges from €50,000 – €300,000, with special cases receiving additional funding. The application and approval process is competitive, with just 124 projects out of 850 receiving funding during the latest round.
Three bigger projects were funded this round, including Spiegel Online – Germany, which received €689,116 from the DNI. Corriere della Sera: The Vocal Bot, an Italian newspaper, received €300,000 in funding to design a digital assistant that can answer news-related questions. Le Temps SA, a Switzerland outlet, received €45,000 to create its “Zombie” tool that will resurface and republish the outlet’s best “evergreen” articles.
The infusion comes following the announcement that Google will work to remove fake news sites from its Google News platform. Hoax stories and fake news plagued the company’s platform during the U.S. presidential elections, which caused backlash amongst readers.
Facebook announced similar plans.
The companies will work to remove fake news from their advertising platforms. Google’s policy update on Monday to reflect the change. |

Graduate showcase celebrates creativity and innovation
Published
30 June 2022
Share
It was a celebration of innovation when the University of East London's Schools of Architecture, Computing and Engineering, and Arts and Creative Industries joined forces to host a combined end of year showcase.
STEAM Show 22, staged at the University's Docklands campus, featured work by graduate students from both schools, with pieces on display including film, photography, digital art, architecture, fashion and textiles.
Co-hosted by Dr David Tann, dean of the School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering (ACE) and Dr Natalie Garrett-Brown, interim dean of the School of Arts and Creative Industries (ACI), and opened by UEL provost Professor Hassan Abdalla, the event highlighted the bar-setting work being produced by UEL's industry-ready graduates.
With a soundscape of live entertainment provided by students from BA (Hons) Music Performance and Production, guests were invited to immerse themselves in the creative worlds of both schools. As they toured the different media spaces graduates were on hand to talk about their work - the process, the inspiration and their hopes for the future.
BSc (Hons) Architecture student Korell Llaudes (pictured above) saw his work included in the showcase for ACE. He said, "I feel very proud to see my work displayed in the Way Out East Gallery. It is important to be noticed and I am honoured that some people who have come to the show today will get to see what I have created.
"My work on display is titled 'Home for culture in Lower Marsh', which is where I created a civic centre, combining a lower ground floor retail space for the public, with a courtyard connecting to a kitchen area. Upstairs, I also included classrooms and a roof lounge.
"My inspiration for the work was to introduce an area where people can seamlessly access London's Lower Marsh at different levels, sit down with food and drink options and introduce new green spaces at every level in the building."
He added: "I have been able to learn from all my lecturers and implement their architectural perspectives into my work. I will use this as I continue with job interviews at architecture practices. I am also trying to set up workshops at my former school as I want to support my community in Croydon. I hope that by introducing architecture and design to school children, they will have more opportunities to be creative."
Fresh off the back of showing at London Fashion Week BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles student Alicia Ikekaji (pictured above) was selected to showcase her designs at the event on behalf of ACI.
She said, "It's an honour to be included in this show. My work sold very well at London Fashion Week, so I'm delighted that it can be seen by people here.
"I've had a wonderful time at UEL. My lecturers have been so supportive, I've learned so much from them. They have given us so many amazing opportunities. I feel ready and I'm excited to see what's next."

Introduction
GlobalData's Innovation Rankings use unique data analysis to highlight the companies at the cutting edge of global business.
The rankings are drawn from our 3i Innovation Framework which identifies companies' innovation potential using novel sources of data including patents, filings, jobs and deals and ranks them on 19 key innovation quality and strength indicators.
Patents is the primary data source and for each company, we calculate innovation quality indicators using our exhaustive dataset formed of over 130+ million patents.
The indicators are grouped into three main pillars:
- Intensity: a company's innovation activity and focus
- Impact: the impact of a company's innovation on other innovators in and outside its sector
- Ingenuity: the originality of a company's inventions and investments in disruptive technologies

Co-Creation
The work of today will disappear
Artificial intelligence and technology could replace much of the existing work that we know today. In thirty years, today’s children will have jobs that we cannot imagine. In a future society, traits that only humans possess — such as co-creation — will become increasingly important.
Humans have always been creative
Humans are naturally creative. However, current education emphasizes only one correct answer over all others, stifling creativity. Free thinking and behavior that is different is suppressed. As a result, students become afraid of making mistakes and lose their natural creativity.
Whereas in the real world, we find that there are no problems that have only one correct answer. Often as not the correct answer 10 years ago is now incorrect. By creating new solutions that solve problems in different ways, and give people enjoyment in the process, new answers are born. It is creativity that allows us to overcome problems that cannot be defined as either correct or incorrect.
Humans have made this world through creative activities with others
A large number of people are addicted to smartphones. Their brains may be connected, but their bodies are isolated. As a result, opportunities for nurturing co-creative experiences are decreasing.
Humans learn about the world through interaction with others and by sharing experiences. People think with their bodies as they move through the world, and society has developed through creative activities born from collaboration.
Enjoying the Collaborative Creation Experience
One of teamLab's art concepts is Relationships Among People: transforming relationships between people and turning the presence of others into a positive experience. This is the idea behind the concept of transforming creative activities, which tend to be individualistic, into co-creative activities while maintaining freedom for both parties.
From this idea the project Future Park was born. |

In October of 2019, leaders of global business districts, business districts managing companies, and urban planning authorities gathered in Chicago, Illinois for a fast-paced trip focused on Placemaking issues.
The Global Business Districts Innovation Club (GBD) Learning Expedition Chicago immersed guests in a three day exploration of the latest urban trends. They met the key players of Downtown Chicago—from innovative startups to the local authorities—and learned from their best practices, while visiting unique places of innovation, getting in touch with the GBD network, and exchanged and benefited from immersion in the ecosystem.
Guests included business district leaders from Montreal, Moscow, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Tokyo, Toronto and Chicago.
Session topics included Arts & Culture, Residential, Innovation, Public Space, Tourism, Culinary Arts, O'Hare Airport, Business Recruitment and Office trends. See Program (PDF)
“We were thrilled to host the first Learning Expedition of the Global Business Districts Innovation Club right here in the Chicago Loop,” said Michael Edwards, President and CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance. “The Loop is ahead of the curve when it comes to downtown management, and Chicago has so much to offer in the way of tech innovation. This gathering of thought leaders is a great way to spotlight the work being done in the city, and we were excited to learn from the attendees as well.”
Chicago Loop Alliance is one of the founding members of the Global Business Districts Innovation Club, a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 so global cities could exchange innovative ideas in downtown management. This fall’s Learning Expedition is the inaugural event.
“To stay competitive in the face of a changing world, we need to learn,” said Marie-Célie Guillaume, CEO of Paris La Défense and president of the Global Business Districts Innovation Club. “The most effective learning outcomes go beyond the cognitive, to the collaborative and experiential. That’s why we created our first GBD Innovation Club Learning Expedition. Based on an experimental format, this expedition uses an exchange-centered focus as the primary source of inspiration and innovation.

EXPLORING CREATIVE SOCIETY (GIGA) 2022
Faculty of Policy Management / Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, Keio University
Faculty-in-charge: Takashi Iba
Semester: Fall semester (2nd half of semester), 2022
Day and Time: Friday 1st & 2nd Period
Credits: 2
Delivery: Fully Online
OBJECTIVES AND TEACHING METHOD
What would society be like in the future? This class sets off by imagining that society of the future will be a “Creative Society” where each and every person makes full use of their own creativity that they originally hold within themselves. In a creative society, it will become a commonplace for everyone to “create” in many different fields and domains.
In the past, “Information Society,” which began with the advent of the Internet, changed our lives, organizations, and society. In the same way, the arrival of Creative Society will bring enormous change in the way we live, organize and live in society.
Imagining what those changes are and what they will bring is an important in preparation for the future. Methodologies and tools regarding the creation of a future where we can live well are important. In this course, I will share an idea that I have devoted myself to for a decade, my relevant works and my experience with you.
The idea is to create and utilise ‘pattern languages’ for creative human actions in order to encourage people to improve their practices and dialogue in many domains. Pattern language is the media for identifying common patterns of good practices embedded in specific domains and sharing the wisdom with others. It was originally proposed in the architecture domain in the 1970s and has since been applied to various domains such as software development, education and organisations.
For the past 15 years, my collaborators and I have created more than 80 pattern languages on diverse topics that provide tacit practical knowledge of creative human actions, comprising more than 2,000 patterns in total. Topics include the following: learning, collaboration, presentation, project design, open dialogue, education, reading, music composition, project design, startup, value-creation marketing, social intrapreneurs, change making, cooking, living well with working and parenting, living well with dementia, elderly care, management of child care, employment of people with disabilities, welfare innovation, hospitality, life transition, beauty in everyday life, natural living, digital transformation, disaster prevention and public policy design.
These pattern languages have been practically utilised to improve practices and generate dialogues among people in various organisations and communities. I also have developed a methodology and philosphy for creating a pattern language that contains aspects of both of science and art. You will learn the case of a new type of academic study, which I call "Studies on Creative Practice".
In this class, students are not expected to simply listen passively, but to participate with an attitude of fully exercising your imagination, envisioning the future, and grasping important ideas and practical tips on their own. In this class, there will also be time for students to practice and talk with each other in the Zoom breakout rooms, so please actively participate in them as well. Therefore, it is required to turn on your Zoom camera to show your reactions and to naturally interact with your classmates.
Message from Professor Takashi Iba to the students:
“The future will come as time goes by. But it may not be the future that we all hope for. Or rather, if we don’t take action, the future we hope for will never come. That is why we must continue to create ideals, visions, and things to realize them for the future. This class is designed to let everyone know and feel that there are adults out there who are doing all that they can (especially in creative and exciting ways) for a better future. Welcome to the way of Creating our future ourselves! I hope you will be inspired and use it as energy to light up your future.”
CLASS SCHEDULE
#1-2 - Dec. 2nd: Creative Society and Pattern Language as Media
You will learn what is a vision of "creative society" and media that is called "pattern language". “Creative Society” is defined as a society where people create their own goods, tools, concepts, knowledge, mechanisms, and ultimately the future with their own hands. Creation in this society is no longer limited to just companies and organizations, but is entrusted to each and every individual. In such a creative society, pattern languages are key media for supporting creative acts. A Pattern Language is a collection of information called “patterns,” which together works in a language-like structure to scribe out the practical knowledge related to a certain field of knowledge. In addition, we will hold a dialogue workshop with using a pattern language for experiencing how to use a pattern language.
#3-4 - Dec. 9th: Utilizing Pattern Languages
You will learn what kind of pattern languages have been created and how they were utilized in the real world: learning, collaboration, presentation, project design, open dialogue, education, reading, music composition, project design, startup, value-creation marketing, social intrapreneurs, change making, cooking, living well with working and parenting, living well with dementia, elderly care, management of child care, employment of people with disabilities, welfare innovation, hospitality, life transition, beauty in everyday life, natural living, digital transformation, disaster prevention and public policy design. This class will be provided as a video on demand.
#5-6 - Dec. 16th: Creation Process of Pattern Language
You will learn how to create a pattern language, which the methodology has been developed in Iba Lab, Keio SFC. The process consists of three phases: Pattern Mining, Pattern Writing, and Pattern Symbolizing. You will experience pattern writing, following the Pattern Writing Sheet and give a short presentation in the class.
#7-8 - Dec. 23rd: Community Development (Guest Speaker: Mitsu Yamazaki)
We will invite Mitsu Yamazaki as a guest speaker who is involved in creative activities related to the Creative Society. The bio of Mitsu Yamazaki is as follows:

Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of the Shiba Inu network, recently announced plans to propose the establishment of a “Strategic Hub for Innovation and Blockchain” (S.H.I.B.) in a U.S. city to the incoming administration. This initiative aligns with President-elect Donald Trump’s vision to create 10 “freedom cities” on federal land.
The project, with an estimated budget of $2.35 billion over 5-10 years, aims to position the U.S. as a global hub for blockchain technology and sustainable development. Kusama emphasized that S.H.I.B. would drive economic growth, create high-quality jobs, and strengthen America’s leadership in emerging technologies.
The proposal includes partnerships with local universities and digital platforms to develop specialized blockchain training programs and invest in STEM education from K-12. The project is expected to generate $500 million and 5,000 jobs within the first two years. Over five years, these numbers could grow to 20,000 jobs and contribute $2 billion annually to the U.S. economy. |

Tenth Americas Competitiveness Exchange tours N. California technology centers
Vice President Glenda Humiston hosted 50 high-level representatives from 24 countries as part of the Tenth Americas Competitiveness Exchange (ACE 10) on Innovation and Entrepreneurship tour of Northern California Oct. 21-27.
Over the course of a week, ACE 10 participants visited innovation clusters in San Francisco, Salinas, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Fresno, Davis and Sacramento.
UC Cooperative Extension advisors David Haviland and Jhalendra Rijal and Sebastian Silva of ag tech company Semios talked to the international delegates about almond research and how UCCE works with growers and companies.
Later, an entrepreneur told AVP Wendy Powers that he was beginning to think about how to develop a university-based Extension system in Grenada, how to convince his government to redirect funds from federal agencies to the university.
Tour co-sponsor Valley Vision's Tammy Cronin described activities during the ACE 10 visit to Sacramento in a blog post.
The ACE program is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration and Economic Development Administration in coordination with the U.S. Department of State and the Organization of American States. It brings together decision-makers from around the world to explore global and regional partnerships, and economic development opportunities to establish new global commercial relationships.
“ACE has been instrumental in showcasing the incredible innovation capacity of U.S. regions and has proven critical in establishing global commercial relationships that can support U.S. business objectives,” said Dennis Alvord, EDA deputy assistant secretary for regional affairs. “Northern California is a world-renowned center of innovation and entrepreneurship activity and we look forward to showcasing the incredible work that the Department of Commerce and regional leaders are doing to advance the innovation economy.”
EDA and OAS posted daily updates about the tour on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #ACXchange. |

ENGINEERS DISCOVER NEW APPROACH TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Engineers at Calvin Electronics found a way to more rapidly develop cases for their portable radiation monitors. The company, based in Springfield, ND, has been producing handheld radiation monitoring units for decades, beginning in the 1950’s when nuclear technology became more widespread. At first marketing to the military, the company now provides products to a wide array of domestic and international organizations requiring radiation monitoring.
However, it hasn’t been easy for the company in the past decade, as they’ve faced stiff competition from overseas organizations, who were able to match Calvin Electronic’s functionality at lower cost. The company faced a difficult decision to change their long-term strategy: instead of attempting to compete on price, at which they knew they would not succeed, their CEO, Marvin Walker, made a fundamental shift: they would compete on functions and features instead of price.
With that decision, Walker then passed on the challenge to his research and development team, led by Claire Sills. Sills was at first at a loss to devise a means of implementing the strategy, saying, “We were already maxing out our development process. Even if we added more people or resources we simply couldn’t produce new products any faster. We needed a game-changing tactic to shift what and how we were doing in development.”
Fortunately, Sills was able to solve the problem by leveraging new 3D printing technology from Zoone 3D, a maker of powerful professional desktop 3D printing systems.
Sills explained further: “We realized that we had to dramatically speed up our development process, and one way we thought that could happen would be by using 3D printing to produce prototypes far faster than we could before. Our normal process was to use a CNC milling service, but it took weeks and weeks to get a result. And then it would be another several weeks before we could get an updated design milled. It seemed to take forever, sometimes.”
Experts from Zoone 3D worked onsite with Calvin Electronic’s technical team to develop a new workflow that dramatically changed the speed of product development. Sills could barely hold her enthusiasm, saying, “We didn’t believe how fast we could produce prototypes. Instead of months we could knock them off in a day. Sometimes several per day – and we could even do prints overnight and be ready to test them in the morning. Zoone 3D’s printers changed everything!”
While Zoone 3D’s devices are highly regarded in the industry, the most important part of their offering is the consulting done before the 3D printers even start up. Zoone 3D’s staff has over 250 years of experience in the 3D printing field combined, most of which involves prototyping and manufacturing. It’s that level of expertise you receive when choosing Zoone 3D equipment and services.
Hardware
Zoone 3D’s impressive hardware is chock-full of features that make it as easy to use as a photocopier, yet the results are of exceptional quality. All standard features you’d expect to find on a professional 3D printer are present, with many unique features found only Zoone 3D equipment. Zoone 3D provides annual software and hardware updates to ensure each machine operates in top form each and every day.
Consulting
Zoone 3D’s main asset is its staff of highly trained 3D print experts, all of which could be made available to solve any development or workflow issue found in the workplace. Their solutions have provided significant benefit to countless clients worldwide, who frequently re-engage the consultants to provide incremental improvements after an initial implementation.
Services
If you find your 3D printing capacity is unable to handle a sudden influx of business, don’t worry: Zoone 3D operates a large farm of industrial 3D printers capable of handling overflow work from any operation. Use is straightforward to set up, and can be arranged in less than a day.
Materials
Zoone 3D provides an incredible selection of powerful engineering materials for exclusive use in their 3D printers. The machines are intelligent and can automatically order replacement materials when supplies are determined to be low.
Maintenance
Most Zoone 3D clients opt for a comprehensiv worry-free maintenance package that provides 24×7 service, spare parts and a regular maintenance regime to ensure equipment is ready to go each and every day.

With innovation firmly in the driver’s seat, we ponder the transformative forces at play, and how it will shape the forward movement of humankind
Words by Karan Karayi
To move forward is the ceaseless mantra of humankind, and it has been so since time immemorial. Today, perhaps more than at any other point in the history of humankind, we are witnessing a slew of innovations reshaping the future of mobility as we know it, or never have. Across startups and traditional OEMs, some of the sharpest minds are looking to push the boundaries of possibilities.
However, as Indians everywhere would loudly attest, having a 1.4 billion strong population (and counting) comes with its own unique set of challenges, chief among which are congested cities. With approx. 1.45 billion cars to be found across the world, one might imagine India’s per capita car penetration would be strong, but you’d be wrong. India’s car penetration is less than 35 per thousand in 2023, which is less than half the average for emerging markets. By comparison, there are 868 vehicles per 1,000 capita in the United States, 635 in Norway, 391 in Mexico, and 219 in China.
However, according to TomTom Traffic Index data on the time wasted in rush hour traffic in 390 major urban areas worldwide, India has two cities in the top 10 most congested cities in the world, as measured by time wasted in rush hour traffic (slow clap for Bengaluru and Mumbai). Ralf-Peter Schäfer, Vice President of traffic at TomTom, explains that the fundamental problem is that “too many people want to drive at the same time in the road network”. With a growing numbers of cars on the road and a lack of public transport infrastructure, “If you don’t make a massive investment in transit [systems], then the consequences are higher congestion,” he adds.
While a conscious effort is being made to move away from the legacy of privately owned vehicles towards public transportation or shared mobility options, it is not one that will be swift. This can be seen in the enduring popularity of four and two-wheelers of all stripes owned across India.
Trends to keep an eye on
Change can often be a funny thing. Sometimes, it can be upon us in a flash, becoming commonplace before we know it. At other times, it takes years to take root, and before we realise it, the world as we know it is altered.
The events of the last few years encapsulate both of these characteristics of change amply. The pandemic made us realise just how problematic commuting (especially in urban areas) detracted from the overall quality of life, with many being open to the idea of greater flexibility and peace of mind in the manner in which they get around.
The rise of micromobility
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve no doubt noticed the surge of two-wheelers dotting the Indian landscape. Expect this to grow unabated; according to a report by CRISIL, two-wheeler sales are expected to grow more rapidly than all other automobile categories between 2023 and 2028, at a CAGR of 9% to 11%, ultimately reaching a total of 25.9 million to 26.1 million units during this period. By FY32, sales are expected to nearly double to 30.7-30.9 million units from 16.3 million units in FY23. Put it down to buoyant consumer sentiments and rising disposable incomes, as also a desire for more flexible and palatable mobility options.
Electric mobility on a charge
The biggest beneficiary of the small-is-big switch in mentality has been the EV two-wheeler space, which has come to life in the last few years. Studies by equity research firm Elara Capital showed that the average monthly registration rate for electric two-wheelers for the first half of 2023-24 stood at 66,600 units, a figure that represents an upward swing after the blip brought about by the government slashing subsidies on electric two-wheelers. In comparison, the average monthly registration rate for all of 2022-23 was slightly lower at 60,500 units.
“Electric two-wheeler volumes continue to see a steady improvement. We expect this contribution to inch up further in H2 this fiscal and in FY25 as companies launch models at a competitive price to offset the subsidy reduction impact, and by reducing the battery capacity and implementing cost reduction measures from suppliers to benefit from scale,” said Jay Kale, an analyst at Elara Capital.
Autonomous mobility, the new norm
With the advent of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, computer vision, and robotics, autonomous mobility is no longer in the realm of science fiction. We’ve already seen these technologies start to become mainstream, and it will continue to be so as our understanding of its application and expertise in the underlying technology grows. This will allow vehicles to reliably navigate even complex environments with great accuracy and minimal human intervention, thus ensuring convenience and comfort without compromising on safety.
Currently, most vehicles sold with autonomous capabilities in India and the globe come with Level 2 or Level 3 ADAS features. This means the vehicle can self-adjust speed, brake when necessary, and even switch lanes, but the “driver” must periodically have his or her hand on the steering wheel for rapid intervention if needed. In time, Level 4 (being able to operate without driver input in most situations) will be commonplace, with the aim being to create Level 5 (or fully autonomous) vehicles.
And it’s not just autonomous mobility; expect these advances to also impact consumer-oriented products and services, such as self-driving delivery services, drones, and ride-sharing apps with autonomous capabilities, as we can already see happening in the Western world.
The unstoppable march of technology
It’s not just AI either; a motley cocktail of digital technologies are making an intoxicating case for cars as computers on wheels. A mix of the ubiquity of 5G, advanced robotics and cobots, the cloud, and edge computing are reshaping the dynamics of the automotive industry. From powering pre-sales, to monitoring manufacturing quality, streamlining the purchase process, and more, technology is equipping industries with an array of functionalities to drive data-driven decision-making and deliver incredible value. Suddenly, the whole idea of vehicles as software on the move isn’t that far-fetched an idea.
Together, these changes are painting a picture of change that is rooted in being smart, sustainable, efficient, and forward-thinking. Straddling the new-age and the traditional, these opportunities across the mobility landscape offer the chance to dive headlong into a brave new world with great velocity, and it is one that must be focused on with great intent. |

Web 2.0 is shaping up as the internet’s Next Big Thing, but who are the entrepreneurs blazing the trail? We went looking. By MIKE PRESTON and JACQUI WALKER
By Mike Preston and Jacqui Walker
Who are Australia’s emerging Web 2.0 entrepreneurs, taking on the world with clever new business models for the interactive internet in which users generate the content and site-owners just build the tools?
SmartCompany set out to find the top eight emerging Web 2.0 businesses and their creators. We discovered that most are yet to make a profit. Some haven’t made any revenue and one hasn’t even worked out a business model that will make money!
But their founders are young, technology savvy and globally ambitious. They have managed to convince their investors they have a great idea with potential. Many are hoping to scale up their operations by licensing their technology to others.
But it’s early days. These Web 2.0 companies are relatively cheap to start and venture capital companies with pockets bulging are looking for the next big thing. It is a great time to be starting a new site.
They are all focused on a global market. Just as well. Mike Canon-Brookes is co-founder and CEO of Atlassian, a fast-growing software company that sells wikis to enterprises and turned over about $20 million in 2006-07. Atlassian is one of the few Australian Web 2.0 companies that is making money.
He says Australian Web 2.0 companies must aim to be global to succeed. “You are really going struggle to build a Web 2.0 company in Australia if you’re just going for an Australian audience.”
Some of our Web 2.0 entrepreneurs may be spectacularly successful like YouTube and Facebook but most will sink without a trace. Here are eight emerging Australian Web 2.0 businesses fighting to get ahead.
Minti
Founders: Matthew Macfarlane, Clay Cook and Rachel Cook. They remain controlling shareholders in Minti’s parent company, VibeCapital.
Established: Minti went live in March 2006.
Revenue/profit 2006-07: Not telling, but chief executive Matthew Macfarlane says he expects to be become profitable next year.
What is it? Minti is an advice and discussion forum for parents. Parents who are registered on the site contribute and respond to content, rank advice other parents have posted and meet and talk online with other parents.
Global or local? About 40% of Minti’s 6000 daily unique visitors come from Australia, 40% from the US and 20% from the rest of the world. Macfarlane says Vibe Capital’s outlook and focus is global.
How does it make money? Minti is built on an advertising model, but Macfarlane says the big earner for Vibe Capital will be charging third parties for a license to use its “advice-o-pedia” website engine.
Where is it going? Vibe has sold three licences to its technology and two weeks ago launched its second website, a site for DIY renovators called refurber.com. Macfarlane says they also recently landed their biggest licensing deal to date with a yet-to-be-revealed Silicon Valley company that averages 30 million page views per month.
What are its chances? Macfarlane says Vibe Capital’s ranked advice model does not have any competitors, although sites such as Yahoo Answers and About.com are in that space. Parenting site Minti counts mumspace.net, parentsconnect.com and clubmom.com as competitors.
Booking Angel
Founders: Dean McEvoy and David Watson
Established: Eatability.com, the first restaurant rating website incorporating Booking Angel, went live in early 2005.
Revenue/profit 2006-07: Not telling, but McEvoy says Booking Angel made a small profit in 2006-07.
What is it? Booking Angel enables instant confirmation on online restaurant reservations. Its software, which is hosted on restaurant’s sites and review sites, converts online reservations into an instant voice message that is delivered over the phone to the restaurant. The restaurant can confirm or reject the booking or suggest an alternative time by using the telephone keypad, with the response instantly communicated to the booker.
Global or local? Booking Angel is currently only being used to make bookings in restaurants in Australia but the technology is patented around the world. McEvoy says he is exploring options for overseas expansion.
How does it make money? Booking Angel charges a small fee for embedding its software on restaurant and review sites and then receives a payment for each booking made – $5.90 for bookings through a review site and $1 for bookings through a restaurant’s own site.
Where is it going? McEvoy has raised some capital from unnamed investors to back expansion into the US, and says he has received offers to license the technology in Croatia and China. They are also looking at expanding into other appointment based industries such as health care. McEvoy says he wants to have a third of the Australian restaurant market signed up in two years, an achievement that he says would provide Booking Angel with a revenue stream of more than $3 million.
What are its chances? Booking Angel seated over 20,000 people in Australian restaurants last year and, according to McEvoy, has no direct competitors. A somewhat similar technology that may emerge as a competitor to Booking Angel is Google Click-to-Call.
Tangler
Founder: Martin Wells, the current chief executive and part owner with investors from Europe, the US and Hong Kong.
Established: A beta version of Tangler went live in April 2007.
Revenue/profit 2006-07: Tangler is still in its development phase and is yet to earn revenue.
What is it? Tangler hosts networked and searchable discussion forums on a huge range of topics that readers can use in real time or by delayed posts. Readers can incorporate audio and video in their posts and use an instant notification function to be immediately informed of new contributions to nominated forums. “We try to make online forums that are sexy, fast, colourful and networked to enable discussion to take place in a much richer way,” Tangler’s Mick Liubinskas says.
Global or local? Global focus – Tangler has offices in Sydney and Mountain View, the home of Google in California.
How does it make money? Tangler plans to operate on a mixed business model combining contextual advertising in its forums and partnerships with big companies that will use their technology to facilitate discussion within their own businesses.
Where is it going? Tangler plans to release a widget early next month that will allow people to access and participate in Tangler discussion groups from online platforms such as MySpace and Facebook.
What are its chances? Although it is still in beta, Tangler has 1000 individual discussion groups. But Tangler faces fierce competition from many thousands of topic or identity based discussion forums already online.
RedBubble.com
Founders: Peter Styles, Martin Hosking and Paul Vanzella, who continue hold a majority interest.
Established: Went online for private viewing in November 2006 and live to the public on 2 February 2007.
Revenue/profit 2006-07: Not telling. Styles says the business should become cash flow positive in 2008.
Global or local? “Absolutely global from day one,” Styles says. RedBubble recently launched multi-currency purchase facility to better enable international transactions.
What is it? RedBubble is an online art gallery and sales portal and a networking and discussion site for artists and designers. When visitors to the site purchase an image or design, RedBubble arranges for the manufacture of the physical product by printing on to a variety of media from framed canvases to greeting cards.
How does it make money? RedBubble charges artists a base price for each image sold, which varies depending on the cost of the materials required to make the physical artwork, and then forwards to remaining proceeds to the artist.
Where is it going? Aspires to be the leading online art gallery of its kind in the world. “We are determined to create an Australian brand that is known around the world,” Styles says.
What are its chances? RedBubble currently has close to 7000 registered member artists, has about 60,000 images for sale, and is growing both at the rate of 75% a month, according to Styles. However, the site has a major competitor in its niche, the slightly more youth-oriented deviantart.com.
PerthNorg
Founder: Bronwen Clune, chief executive.
Established: PerthNorg went live in August 2006.
Revenue/profit 2006-07: Clune won’t talk about PerthNorg’s revenue or that of its parent company NorgMedia. “Our focus at the moment is growing our community and getting the platform right,” Clune says.
What is it? PerthNorg (‘Norg’ is a contraction of News Organisation) is a community-driven news site for people in Perth. Registered users to the site, called Cit Js, contribute content and respond to stories. The more popular the story, the higher its profile on PerthNorg.
Global or local? “We consider ourselves a global company working in local news markets,” Clune says. Norg Media has plans for community news sites in other Australian cities and overseas cities “where we think we can add something,” she says.
How does it make money? NorgMedia plans to earn income through advertising and by building commercial sites for companies interested in using its website model as an internal communications tool. Clune says the local focus of sites such as PerthNorg means it can charge a premium to advertisers seeking to access particular geographical markets.
Where is it going? The next steps for NorgMedia are SydneyNorg and MelbourneNorg, which, Clune says, will be launched within three months. There are also plans for a vertically integrated site, focused on a product or idea rather than a geographical location, using the Norg web model in the near future. Clune is currently looking to raise about $500,000 to grow faster.
What are its chances? PerthNorg has almost 1000 registered Cit Js, and has grown purely from word-of-mouth referrals. It faces competition from conventional media and must show that geographically defined communities can work online.
3eep
Founders: Rob Antulov and Nic Gronios
Established: Went live in March 2007
Revenue/profit 2006-07: Not telling, but co-founder Antulov says 3eep is still in beta mode and is not currently profitable.
What is it? 3eep is a sport-oriented social network that sports players, fans and administrators can use to chat, post content, share audio or video, organise events and send team messages about things such as fixtures and training times.
Global or local? Sydney-based but with global aspirations. “We know for a Web 2.0 company to be successful you have to go global very quickly,” Antulov says. 3eep’s user base is overwhelmingly Australian but Antulov says they are very close to signing a deal to licence the technology behind the 3eep platform internationally.
How does it make money? The 3eep business model is advertising and sponsorship-based, but down the track they are looking at offering premium services that users would pay for, classified advertising and content syndication.
Where is it going? Still early days, but growth in Australian and internationally is the key. Antulov says rapid expansion will be important so that 3eep is as close to first mover in its target markets as possible.
What are its chances? In Australia, Antulov says 3eep’s key competitors are team management software packages and text messages, which is the method most teams currently use to communicate. Internationally, 3eep faces competition from the likes of tackle.com in the US and isporty.com in the UK.
Remember the milk
Founders: Emily Boyd and Omar Kilani
Established: October 2005
Revenue/profit 200607: No revenue in 2006-07
What is it? Web based task management software – in simple terms, an online to-do list that can be integrated a variety of platforms such as Google and that can be tailored to send the user reminder messages through SMS, email or instant messenger.
Global or local? Global – co-founder Kilani says Remember the Milk has users around the world and is particularly popular in Japan.
How does it make money? Kilani says Remember the Milk doesn’t have a business model at the moment and says while they intend to monetise the site, they do not have a concrete plan about how they will do that at this stage. In the meantime, Remember the Milk is being funded by Kilani and Boyd.
Where is it going? At the moment Remember the Milk is focused on expanding the user base and making the software compatible with as many different interfaces as possible – Twitter.com is a recent addition. Kilani says there is only one main competitor for Remember the Milk, but it is a doozy – Microsoft, through the task management functions in Outlook and Word.
What are its chances? Remember the Milk already has more than 250,000 users and has established a genuinely global user base. But it is not making any money. The challenge will be to concoct and implement a business model that works.
Scouta
Founders: Richard Giles and Graeme Sutherland
Established: Site went live in February 2007
Revenue/profit 2006-07: No revenue yet, but plans to have some revenue by the end of 2007 and become profitable within three years.
What is it? Scouta is a content aggregation and recommendation site. Users can post and recommend their favourite online content from the written word to YouTube and MySpace videos and podcasts.
Global or local? Global – it is all about recommending online content, which itself is global in nature.
How does it make money? Scouta will try to license its content to businesses who wish to include recommendations on their site. Scouta chief executive Richard Giles says companies will be able to choose to have recommendations relating to products in their category on their site or just in relation to products they sell. Advertising will provide a secondary revenue stream.
Where is it going? Scouta is about to launch an iTunes client, which allow Scouta users to interact through the iPod, Appletv and iPhone. As the line between online content and television/radio blurs, Scouta plans to become a comprehensive media recommendation site.
What are its chances? Scouta has competitors in particular content niches and also from the well-known aggregators such as Digg and De.lic.ious, although they differ in their ability to embed video or facilitate user interaction. Established recommendation based music services such as iLike and Last.fm loom as key competitors. |

lorphicweb_com_italy-announces-rollout-of-dystopian-social-credit-system-compliant-citizens-will-be- | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4341
On 28 March Matteo Lepore, Mayor of Bologna, and Massimo Bugani, councillor for the digital agenda and civic use of data, announced the City’s digital innovation plan 2022-2024.
“We will start with a pilot project for the city: at the center is the virtuous citizen, the one who, for example, separates waste well or does not waste energy, or uses public transport and does not take fines, or is still active with the Bologna Welcome Card. The Municipality says to these people ‘we will assign you a score’, as part of a circular reward with economic benefits to individual users.”
Expose– Social credit scores are already in use in various places around the world, but nowhere more than in the communist hell hole that is China. The dystopian measurement acts similarly to a traditional credit score, however, as the name indicates, one’s score has little to do with their financial prospects or ability to pay off debt on time – social scores are all about your level of compliance to the regime and acceptance of the approved narrative. Where this dystopian coercion tool is used in an authoritarian dictatorship, like China, there is no such thing as individual rights or free speech.
Governments across the western world are exploring using this tool, especially in the wake of the Covid “pandemic,” which proved that governments can obtain almost limitless power in a crisis and set the stage for the next phase of the World Economic Forum’s plan – “you will own nothing and be happy.”
Italy will be the first in the EU, and the West, to implement a government-sponsored social credit system with the rollout of its new rewards-based program that aims to modify people’s climate change behaviour by assigning a score based on their compliance.
The program will kick off its pilot starting in the autumn of 2022 in Bologna. Citizens who comply with the radical climate change agenda by displaying “good behaviour,” such as correctly recycling or using public transportation, will be rewarded with cryptocurrency and discounts to local retailers, according to local newspaper Bologna Today.
Enrolees will be given a “smart citizen wallet” where their rewards can be accessed. The higher one’s score, correlating with good behavioural changes, will allow them access to more benefits.
At first, enrolment into the social credit score will be optional, however, there are justified concerns that the program will become mandatory in the future, not unlike the dystopian vaccine passport which has become a staple of everyday life in the EU.
MEPs warned these control measures were in the pipeline last year. In a third press conference – which took place on 24 November 2021 in the European Parliament in Strasbourg – four MEPs explained why the Green Certificate is violating peoples’ fundamental rights as well as other related topics. During this press conference Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes said:
“Clearly, we are witnessing right now the Chinafication of Europe. Because we see what is happening in China right now with the social credit score – where the government is monitoring and surveilling all the people from the beginning to end. Everything that they do, everything everywhere where they walk, it’s everything, you know – they control everything and they watch everything. This is an example of tyranny.
“When the government knows everything about you – where you go, what you did while you were there, where you enter – that’s the tyrannical system. And we’ve seen this system being implemented, right now, under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, slowly but surely, in the European Union.
“The green certificate was just the first step. There are a few more proposals right now under debate in the parliament: the European wallet ID, for example, the European social security card. All these things are creating a system that will monitor control, supervise and condition the rights of all the European citizens.”

techbullion_com_the-10-most-revolutionary-technologies-of-our-digital-age_ | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4480
A new digital trend supporting enterprises and society as a whole emerges every day. New solutions, models built to integrate seamlessly with the analogue and digital spheres, are constantly being introduced into our environment. Work habits have shifted due to innovations in mobile, social media, predictive analytics, etc.
Since technology is ever-evolving, several novel projects are likely to emerge during the next five years, each with the potential to significantly alter our daily routines. We scoured the web for the best tech magazines and compiled a list of the most intriguing future technological developments.
Emerging Digital Technologies Of 2023
Now, we’ll mention the latest innovation in the digital age that has brought revolutionary things to the digital world. So, let’s get started.
AI, Cognition, and Super Intelligent Machine Learning
Companies are improving their methods of operation and output with the help of AI and machine learning applications. Deep learning, neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP) are just a few of the numerous technologies and methods that fall under this umbrella.
Research and current use of these methods suggest that AI will pave the way for the development of useful tools like virtual assistants as well as robots, drones, and driverless cars. Workplaces and households alike will be revolutionised by programmes that can comprehend, learn from experience, adapt to new circumstances, and make accurate predictions. Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions will be able to blend in with their environments and people more seamlessly, allowing them to observe and learn from human actions and requirements.
Organisations may benefit from AI and sophisticated machine learning in the areas of data analytics, insight generation, and action recommendation. They will learn continuously to emulate human cognition and provide unique value for each consumer. These tools will boost efficiency, cut down on waste, and please customers.
The next decade will see the widespread use of AI in both the workplace and the wider world.
The Use Of VR And AR
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are two new technologies that are changing the face of online interaction and cooperation. By 2021, it is anticipated that it will have advanced further and be more widely used in immersive consumer applications. Mobile applications, wearable gadgets, etc. have all begun to be used in conjunction with virtual reality and augmented reality. Rather than being limited to individual experiences, the internet is beginning to establish a network of immersive apps for collaborative and educational digital settings. Over the next several years, augmented reality (AR) is predicted to significantly alter consumer experiences and improve workforce performances.
Internet of Things software solutions that use digital twins
A digital twin is a live, virtual representation of an operation, product, or service that may be used for analytics and predictive system monitoring. Because of this, we may use a variety of simulation methods to avoid breakdowns, create new possibilities, and better prepare for the future. The Internet of Things (IoT) has reduced the digital twin’s implementation cost. Because of the invaluable information, it can give on a company’s goods, operations, and consumers, IoT is becoming a need.
Hybrid Wireless Technologies
Everything has an inherent link to everything else. Connecting a MANET to a fixed network takes the use of Hybrid Wireless Technologies. They let us combine the benefits of many wireless networks while using a single device. The goal is to establish associations between diverse elements in order to develop flexible, intelligent programmes that can respond to changing user needs.
Datafication
Anything may be “digitised,” or transformed into a data-driven device or programme. Thus, datafication refers to the process through which traditionally human operations are converted into data-driven ones. Everything we use now, from our phones and computers to our factories and workplace programmes and even our artificial intelligence-enhanced refrigerators, relies on data, and it won’t go away anytime soon. Therefore, keeping our data in good shape and secure has become an in-demand field in today’s market. As a consequence of datafication, many different kinds of IT professionals, data scientists, engineers, technicians, managers, and many more will be in higher demand. A certification in a data-related speciality is also a good way for anybody with a technical background to get work in this industry.
In addition, anybody who has a firm grasp of technology may enter this sector by earning a credential in a data-related niche. Many of the most influential people in the field of data science come from less-populous areas and developing nations like India because they possess the requisite talents rather than the necessary credentials.
Digital Trust
individuals have developed a sense of confidence and trust in digital technology as a result of their familiarity with and use of these tools in everyday life. There is a growing tendency towards using a familiar digital trust to spur more innovation. To explore and create without worrying about losing consumers’ trust is a goal shared by those with digital conviction, who believe that technology can make the digital world safe, secure, and trustworthy. Popular fields of research that strive to make the Internet a safer environment for everyone include cybersecurity and ethical hacking. These two fields tend to provide a broad range of job opportunities, from entry-level to managerial. While professional qualifications may be necessary for ethical hacking, a bachelor’s degree or perhaps a master’s degree in cybersecurity can get you far in the field.
3D Printing
Making prototypes using 3D printing is a huge step forward in the world of innovative technology. In both the medical and manufacturing fields, this technology has had a significant influence. So, 3D printing is another breakthrough that will remain in use for some time. High-paying jobs and international experience may be found in the data and healthcare sectors, both of which make substantial use of 3D printing. You just need knowledge of AI, ML, simulation, and 3D printing to do this.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic process automation (RPA) refers to the computerisation of traditionally manual corporate processes including data collection and analysis, customer service, and other related tasks. Similar to how AI and ML automate a wide variety of operations across many industries, robotic process automation (RPA) is a promising future technology that automates numerous tasks in many fields. One such example of robotic process automation is automated trading robots such as BitSoft 360 that handle all digital trade tasks on the trader’s behalf. Investing in your future with this developing technology may pay off handsomely.
Edge Computing
Users’ activities across several platforms (e.g., social media, websites, emails, and online searches) are now being tracked by the millions. As the data we gather grows at an exponential rate, even cutting-edge methods, such as cloud computing, have limitations.
Up until around ten years ago, Cloud Computing was among the most rapidly expanding fields in IT. Competitors have made this an everyday occurrence, however.
Many problems with Cloud Computing have become apparent as its use has spread across enterprises. In order to avoid the delays that Cloud Computing introduces, businesses might employ Edge Computing to transfer data to a data centre. It may exist “on edge,” or at the location where data processing will actually occur. Time-sensitive data is processed in disconnected or low-bandwidth areas using edge computing.
Distributed Ledger Technology
Blockchain became well known in connection with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because of the security it offers. However, it offers protection that may be useful in a variety of contexts. There is no way to remove or alter data after it has been uploaded to a blockchain. Blockchain gets its name from the fact that the resultant data blocks seem like links in a chain.
Since data stored on a blockchain cannot be altered or deleted, it is a tremendously secure system. Since blockchains are consensus-driven, no one user or organisation may control the data contained inside them. Financial transactions may be tracked without the use of a third party. The need for proficient blockchain engineers has grown as the technology gains traction in new sectors.
Bottom Line
The pace at which technology develops will only accelerate. If you belong to the digital world, you must be familiar with these technologies. Mastering new technologies, like AI, ML, blockchain, and edge computing, adapting to continual change, and turning it into an advantage are all necessary for a successful career in the tech industry. |

Diligent & Fortune Director Roundtable Series: A Gen AI Playbook for the Board
In today’s evolving technological landscape, generative AI stands out as both a transformative opportunity and a complex risk for businesses. Leaders have taken note that gen AI is not just hype, and now are grappling with how to implement it. Where does this leave the company’s board of directors? Are members to focus on risk, opportunity, a mixture of both? And how can they navigate implementation if they are not fully educated about the technology itself? As AI adoption accelerates, boards must cut through the noise, ask the right questions, and embrace their role in steering organizations toward responsible and effective use of the technology. Fortune and Diligent hosted a virtual event with an esteemed panel to explore the role of the board in gen AI and gather actionable insights for boards as they navigate gen AI’s challenges and possibilities. The panel was moderated by Jeremy Kahn, AI Editor, Fortune, and Co-chair, Fortune Brainstorm AI; and featured executives Nithya Das, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, Diligent; Omar Khawaja, CISO, Databricks; Florin Rotar, Chief AI Officer, Avanade; and Fiona Tan, Chief Technology Officer, Wayfair.
Das set the stage by sharing research from Diligent, showing that gen AI is sixth on the list of priorities for boards of directors, behind traditional concerns like growth and financials. She noted that gen AI is now ahead of topics like workforce planning and cybersecurity in terms of focus for boards. The AI focus at the board level is not all about innovation and growth. She relayed that boards are carefully considering risks that the technology brings. In particular, “the biggest risk that directors are seeing is the lack of internal capabilities and knowledge among their leadership teams,” she revealed.
Given the risks, it is important for boards to provide direction for companies. However, guidance has not always been very clear. Khawaja said that he has seen leaders take guidance from boards too literally, which has ended in poor implementation. Instead of simply directing companies to create an AI strategy, he encourages boards to think about a company strategy that is informed by the opportunities of gen AI. “I think it’s important for boards to ask [how we will] leverage AI to de-risk, to accelerate, to expand, to scale our strategy,” he said. Rotar agreed, adding that he thinks it is key for companies to figure out how to derive the greatest value from AI. Currently, he sees that companies are focused on productivity gains, rather than leveraging the technology to drive greater business strategy.
For boards to consider how AI can drive business strategy, though, it is critical to understand the technology. Tan advised that boards begin their AI journey by understanding how gen AI is different from the current AI used in their organization, such as predictive machine learning. Das offered that Diligent has an AI Ethics & Board Oversight course available to board members, and Rotar added Stanford’s “The AI Awakening” course may be useful as well.
Tan noted that, once board members have a foundational understanding of the technology, boards can play a pivotal role. At Wayfair, she described that executives and leaders within the organization typically focus on use cases for gen AI, as they know the nuances of the business and where it will be best applied. The board, on the other hand, can help push AI implementation and bring different perspective, she said. “I think for the board, [the focus] is pushing to ensure we are taking the outside-in approach.” she affirmed.
The panelists on the call agreed that leveraging gen AI to revolutionize business strategy is one of the technology’s greatest opportunities. However, it does not come without challenges and risk. The greatest challenge, they said, is people. Rotar, who has been working with AI for many years, said he spends 85% of his time on people-related topics. “The No. 1 success factor for [gen AI implementation] is people.” He emphasized that organizational readiness and trust in the technology is perhaps the primary challenge. He encouraged companies to help employees see how the technology can help them thrive and become the best version of themselves, which in turn fosters trust, increases wide-scale adoption, and ultimately drives value.
In addition to helping businesses adopt AI, boards have a responsibility to help manage risks in AI. A theme that emerged is the necessity of having a responsible AI framework. Tan suggested, for those who don’t currently have a responsible AI plan, that they take what they already have for technologies like predictive machine learning and augment for the specific risks of gen AI. “I think having [a responsible AI] framework is super important, so you ensure that you don’t have a team that goes rogue and does something you don’t know about.” Khawaja added that it is critical to have a responsible AI framework that is actionable, specifically discussing AI risks and how the company will address and manage those risks.
In closing, Das remarked on the great utility of conversations like these. “We all know that [gen AI] is being used in our organizations” she quipped. Fortune panels, she said, give her an opportunity to discuss these crucial topics and leave with learnings. For example, she said, she will be walking away with new ideas on measuring ROI around gen AI, such as using it to assess such functions as work satisfaction, discussed by Tan.

www_mckinsey_com_capabilities_mckinsey-digital_our-insights_buy-and-scale-how-incumbents-can-use-m-a | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4252
Most CEOs recognize that business building is fundamental to success. McKinsey’s annual new-business building survey shows that executives expect new products, new services, and new businesses to deliver almost 30 percent of their revenues by 2027.1
In line with that goal, business leaders report that their companies are currently building 50 percent more new businesses per year than they did two to five years ago.2 But as effective as building new businesses through internal innovation and organic growth can be, it’s often not sufficient for companies pursuing ambitious growth agendas.3 Instead, these companies could take a lesson from digital disruptors and embark on a series of well-considered acquisitions.
Large companies are no strangers to the benefits of M&A, but their focus tends to be on acquiring one or two businesses to leverage economies of scale and capture cost synergies. Digital disruptors, however, acquire many more companies to accelerate their growth, a strategy that has proven successful. Companies that make, on average, more than five deals per year grow at double the rate of companies that only selectively pursue M&A. They also spend 38 percent less on each acquisition deal,4 allowing them to pursue a more programmatic approach: building a portfolio of companies that help them scale rather than going all out for one or two big targets.
One of the compelling advantages of this programmatic “buy and scale” approach to M&A is that it can succeed even under seemingly adverse conditions. According to our research, the businesses that perform best are those that defy conventional wisdom and embark on bold M&A moves regardless of economic downturns.5 And as valuations have come down from their lofty heights, costs per acquisition are coming down, too. Start-ups with great talent and intellectual property (IP) are more open to acquisitions again.6
How incumbents can make buy and scale work for them
In our experience, successful buy-and-scale efforts have five things in common.
1. A broad range of M&A goals based on a clear strategy
Digital disruptors undertake acquisitions for four reasons, each dictated by clear strategic objectives (Exhibit 1).
- Tech- and IP-driven acquisition. Buying a start-up to obtain access to and control over critical technologies and IP can accelerate time to market for new businesses, especially in emerging fields such as cleantech.
- Acqui-hiring. By acquiring a business for its talent, incumbents can bypass time-consuming and costly recruitment and onboarding processes, gaining immediate access to a seasoned team with relevant capabilities who can hit the ground running, and thus reducing release times for new products and businesses by months.
- Product expansion. Incumbents that add complementary elements to their core products, such as digital services to hardware, help to create fuller ecosystem offerings that can drive growth.7
- Regional expansion. Entering a market by acquiring a local company gives incumbents access to the local infrastructure, supply chain, and customers, speeding up time to market.

2. Governance structures to manage a portfolio of start-ups
Companies following a buy-and-scale approach typically establish a growth management office (GMO), an agile, growth-focused version of the IMO (integration management office) often used to manage acquisitions. In McKinsey’s latest survey on new-business building, most of the respondents who met or exceeded their revenue goals had in place formal governance structures, realistic expectations for required investments, and timelines to profitability.8
A typical GMO has three main tasks:
- The first is to define the strategy and scope of an integration well in advance of closing the deal.
- Second is to make the most of the acquisition’s unique assets, such as rapid innovation or fast growth, while protecting the incumbent’s core business. At one engineering firm, the GMO established a regime in which the acquired start-up had to comply with the incumbent’s supplier and security standards to mitigate reputational and legal risk but was free to maintain its own policies in matters such as hiring and the tech stack.
- Third is to define the respective responsibilities of the start-up and the incumbent and the interfaces between them. Some incumbents nominate a senior sponsor, often a board member, to manage communications with the start-up to help maintain its dynamism. They also offer incentives to their in-house teams to support the start-up, such as quotas for selling its products and services.
Once an acquisition is under way, the GMO sets up a lean M&A squad team to manage it, typically consisting of the senior business leader who drove the deal plus two or three working members. To get the effort off to the best start, functional and business experts from the incumbent spend time at the target to gain a deep understanding of its structure, assets, and needs.
3. Incentives tied to clear KPIs
Aligning incentives across the incumbent and start-up is critical in creating transparency on expectations for the path ahead. Road maps with clearly defined milestones and deliverables—such as revenue or customer targets or completion of a product-development stage—provide a mechanism for releasing additional funds and triggering bonus payments. Employee motivation and retention can be boosted through a range of measures tied to organizational goals, such as stock ownership plans. This approach requires the incumbent to develop a set of standards on bonuses, stock ownership plans, incentives, and performance management, which will be invaluable in getting alignment with the board and creating a consistent framework for integrating future acquired start-ups.
When one European cleantech company acquired several small businesses, for example, it offered their founders and executives vested equity in the newly merged entity to motivate them to continue to push for growth under the new ownership.
4. Retention of the start-up’s entrepreneurial drive and culture
When the primary purpose of M&A is to grow a start-up, the acquirer must curb any tendency to overcontrol the target, instead taking steps to uphold the acquisition’s entrepreneurial drive and decisiveness. Among mergers that take this approach, 72 percent avoid the typical first-year revenue dip.9 They do so by ensuring that the start-up’s leaders retain full decision-making authority in recruiting, product development, and other key areas, such as keeping office locations separate and dedicating each employee to either the incumbent or the start-up, with no overlapping responsibilities.
Since the value lies in accelerating the startup’s growth momentum rather than capturing cost synergies, they don’t attempt to integrate complex systems. McKinsey research shows that growth businesses that are separated from the incumbent’s core IT, marketing, data, and analytics functions and processes are significantly more likely to exceed growth expectations than those that are not.10 At a portfolio scale, this approach also simplifies integrations and allows the start-ups to move quickly. However, the incumbent will need to establish standards, such as APIs, so that start-ups can integrate with each other as needed. These standards can vary depending on the needed depth of integrations, and the incumbent will need to review them often to ensure that they have systems in place to support scale and mutual benefit for the acquired businesses.
This separation of functions can take many different forms. For instance, when a global car manufacturer acquired a Silicon Valley start-up, it stipulated that operational requests from the parent company must be routed via its CEO so that tech talent could stay focused on the job at hand and not be flooded with unnecessary daily challenges.
Cultural fit is critical to the success of an integration, according to 95 percent of executives in a McKinsey survey.11 Similarly, 25 percent of survey respondents cited a lack of cultural alignment as the primary reason for integration failure. Poor cultural cohesion can have a detrimental effect on retention rates, as Niklas Östberg, CEO of Delivery Hero, points out: “Younger companies often employ a young workforce who are quick to jump to the next company if they don’t like the new direction.”12 Our experience suggests that if a company has retained more than half of the new talent three years after an acquisition, that counts as a big success. To keep employees on board, incumbents need to show sensitivity and respect for cultural differences.

5. Start-up access to incumbent’s assets
In successful buy-and-scale efforts, incumbents deploy their own assets—sales force, customer base, brand, capital, scale, knowledge, and so on—to accelerate an acquisition’s growth. They don’t wait until the deal is done to define the nature of the collaboration but use the acquisition contract to specify how the start-up will access the acquirer’s five core assets:
- Customers: sales quotas to ensure the startup’s products and services benefit from the incumbent’s access to customers and are sold and distributed effectively alongside its own offerings
- IP and technology infrastructure: APIs and log-in tools to enable the start-up to connect with the incumbent’s IT systems, especially access to scalable infrastructure and unique IP such as tools and algorithms (while remaining free to maintain its own tech stack)
- Purchasing: dedicated representatives in the procurement department to give the start-up more bargaining clout and reduce sourcing costs
- Operations and manufacturing: dedicated machines or production slots in manufacturing plants to ease any start-up production bottlenecks
- Global footprint and legal support: standardized service-level agreements that take advantage of the incumbent’s legal resources to enable, for example, faster international expansion by navigating the different jurisdictions across regions
Sharing financial assets can be critical, too. Many incumbents provide working capital or funds for business building to help start-ups access low-cost capital and skip funding stages.
Developing buy and scale as a strategic muscle
Top companies look at M&A as an innovation engine.13 With this approach, M&A becomes a powerful means of competitive differentiation as acquirers build organizational capabilities and establish best practices across all stages of the M&A process.14 Successful acquirers build their M&A muscle by constantly identifying, pursuing, and integrating high-potential targets and embedding this capability in their business strategy. Such an effort works best when a company takes the following two steps.
Set up a venture-building board to oversee all new business and growth initiatives
A venture-building board should be made up of members from in-house strategy, innovation, and M&A teams; a venture-capital investor with an objective view of the business; and external experts to fill any knowledge gaps.15 This board typically meets monthly to review and approve budgets for new businesses launched by the incumbent (which are presented by representatives from the in-house incubator or accelerator) and to assess and approve M&A opportunities (presented by the GMO) (Exhibit 2).
The GMO is in constant contact with the internal incubator or accelerator team that focuses on organic growth initiatives and what the company needs to accelerate them (talent, technology, IP, market access, or other assets), so that it can seek out acquisitions that provide these elements. One key requirement of the venture-building board is to ensure that M&A activities support the business’s overall strategic objectives and are complementary assets to the new businesses that the incumbent itself has launched.
Create deal-management tools
Successful companies create tools that the GMO can use to identify targets, assess their potential for accelerating growth initiatives, and help inform decisions on whether to acquire them. To identify targets, successful acquirers use tools that automatically scan databases such as patent registers, commercial registers, GitHub, and LinkedIn for possible deals in line with specific criteria. To assess a target’s potential fit, they score it against criteria such as how many developers it has (for acqui-hiring) or how many regions and customers it covers (for international expansion). And to help with decisions to invest, they use predictive models that evaluate factors such as team experience (professional and educational), funding (including the presence of anchor investors), digital footprint (through web traffic and semantic analyses of keywords), and financial data (drawn from company reports and press statements).
At one international consumer goods company, the venture-building board meets monthly to assess, prioritize, and make funding decisions for new growth opportunities, both M&A and organic.16 It evaluates potential targets and new-business-building ventures via an “opportunity funnel” that extends from idea sourcing to opportunity identification, prioritization, diligence, action, and portfolio management. Taking this approach, the company has built an engine that is able to successfully manage up to ten acquisitions per year to drive growth.
We see other companies taking a slightly different approach—for example, keeping a list of potential acquisition candidates that are prioritized by the GMO and reaching out to cultivate them for fit and a possible deal. Once a deal is approved, the GMO sets up a dedicated M&A squad to take responsibility for every stage of the acquisition, from due diligence to integration.
For approaches like these to work, senior leaders need to carve out blocks of time to cultivate targets and develop long-term relationships that may eventually lead to acquisition.
Strategic M&A is a catalyst for growth. That doesn’t mean making one big game-changing acquisition. Rather, it means pursuing frequent small acquisitions that fuel innovation across multiple areas and support in-house businessbuilding efforts in line with corporate growth objectives. |
