Understanding Technicism: A Sociological Perspective
Technicism, as a sociological concept, encapsulates the belief in the inherent superiority and inevitability of technological advancement as the primary solution to human problems. This phenomenon reflects the increasing dominance of technology in modern society, shaping not only our daily lives but also our values, cultures, and social institutions. In this article, we will explore the roots, implications, and critiques of technicism, offering a nuanced perspective suitable for students of sociology and those curious about the interplay between technology and society.
The Origins of Technicism
Historical Foundations
Technicism is not a recent phenomenon. Its roots can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution, a period marked by groundbreaking technological innovations that reshaped the social fabric. Mechanization and mass production introduced new ways of living and working, fostering the belief that technology could solve societal challenges such as scarcity and inefficiency.
Enlightenment thinking also played a pivotal role in shaping technicism. Philosophers and scientists of this era celebrated reason, progress, and the application of scientific principles to improve human life. This intellectual shift laid the groundwork for modern technological optimism, where technology is often viewed as a beacon of progress. The belief in human mastery over nature through science and technology became a cornerstone of modern societies, intertwining technological progress with social advancement.
Contemporary Development
In today’s digital age, technicism manifests more prominently. The rapid evolution of information technology, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology fuels the perception that technology is an unstoppable force. Corporations and governments heavily invest in technological solutions to address issues ranging from climate change to healthcare, reinforcing technicism’s dominance in public discourse. Furthermore, the advent of big data and machine learning has transformed decision-making processes, promoting efficiency and precision while raising concerns about dependency on automated systems.
This reliance on technology is evident in the shift toward smart cities, renewable energy innovations, and digital governance. While these initiatives promise sustainability and inclusivity, they also reveal the pervasive influence of technicism in shaping public policies and societal aspirations.
The Sociological Dimensions of Technicism
Technology and Social Structure
From a sociological lens, technicism influences social structures by reshaping labor markets, educational systems, and governance. Automation, for instance, has transformed industries, displacing traditional jobs while creating new ones. This dynamic underscores a key aspect of technicism: the assumption that technological progress, despite its disruptions, ultimately benefits society.
The gig economy is a vivid example of this transformation, where digital platforms mediate work opportunities, offering flexibility but also precariousness. Sociologists study these shifts to understand the implications of technicism on worker rights, social equity, and economic stability.
Education systems are similarly impacted, with curricula increasingly focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. This prioritization reflects a technicist ideology that equates societal advancement with technological literacy and innovation. While this approach fosters skills for a tech-driven future, it risks marginalizing humanities and social sciences, which are critical for understanding ethical and cultural dimensions of technological integration.
Cultural Implications
Culturally, technicism permeates our values and behaviors. Social media, smartphones, and digital platforms have redefined communication and relationships, emphasizing immediacy and connectivity. The glorification of tech entrepreneurs and innovation further entrenches technicism, portraying technology as a transformative force for good. Society’s increasing reliance on social media for news and validation reflects the integration of technological tools into everyday life, often shaping identity and self-worth.
However, this cultural shift raises questions about authenticity, privacy, and the commodification of human experiences. For example, the widespread adoption of wearable devices and data-driven apps often prioritizes efficiency over personal autonomy, reflecting a technicist mindset that prioritizes technological solutions over nuanced human needs. Additionally, the algorithmic curation of information on digital platforms influences public opinion, shaping societal narratives and reinforcing echo chambers.
The cultural dominance of technicism also manifests in art and entertainment, where futuristic narratives and tech-centered themes dominate. While these depictions inspire innovation, they often perpetuate the myth of technology as a panacea, overshadowing its potential drawbacks and complexities. |

Capstone projects produce multi-sensory interactive installations on a massive scale.
Scenario axes: Incremental impact, focus on technological innovation.
Metropolis is a technocracy, where engineers have access to vast amounts of funding to develop large scale, complex technologies. The military, energy and space industries employ armies of developers to create novel solutions to ever increasing problems. Governments fund research projects on a colossal scale, combining quantum computing, speculative design and arts, attempting to get ahead of the next technological hype. Every child in Metropolis wants to become an expert, as most of the tools developed are designed for experts of various flavours. Innovation is driven by an incessant technology push, with an ever increasing number of programming languages, protocols, platforms and operating systems. Only an expert can navigate this technological Tower of Babel. People don't interact with people much, they prefer to interact with machines instead: they shop online using natural language processing, most of their money is placed in bitcoin speculations, they drive smart electric cars and have relationships with social robots at home and at work. The non-experts are kept sedate with awe-inspiring immersive interactive environments that respond to any stimuli imaginable. These installations deploy the most advanced smart materials, using biomimicry to make them more responsive to the visitors' whims. The interaction happens seamlessly, using wearable devices and skin implants, allowing passers-by to be always ready to engage in new mixed-, augmented-, or virtual-reality experiences. In Metropolis, everything is bigger and better than anywhere else. Technology is omnipresent, although most of it remains unused or unusable. There is so much going on that its inhabitants exist in a numbed daze, without ever being able to stop and ask why.

With the advances that science, technology and regulation have brought, many companies today have excellent engineering capabilities, a fantastic technical framework and good governance. In theory, these companies should function reliably and also achieve great value. But often, that is not the case. What is going wrong? DuPont took a cultural journey to find the “missing link.”
Many companies take too narrow an approach when implementing improvement methodologies or become overly dependent on elaborate procedures that do not lead to sustainable results. The clue to extracting maximum value from productivity improvements lies in an integrated approach. Put differently, the key is operational excellence, defined as “the application of principles, systems and tools to engage and focus everyone’s efforts on meeting customers’ needs and continuously improving process performance.”
Figure 1: Market Drivers – Operational excellence is one of the most important issues for CEOs globally
According to the 2013 CEO Challenge study conducted by the Conference Board,1 operational excellence is one of the top three most important issues for CEOs globally. It is widely recognized as one of the most important contributors to a company’s sustainable performance and growth.
Businesses today face global competition and are part of global supply chains. Social and environmental regulations and expectations are becoming ever more stringent. Investors expect companies to pursue lower cost and higher value products with existing assets. To survive, organizations have to adapt rapidly and efficiently to changes in market demand and competitive pressures at plant level. They need to find and pursue synergies to drive productivity and efficiency. All these external drivers exert pressure on companies to improve their overall operations performance. Those that manage to do so reap the benefits of a productive workforce, increased value and sustainable growth.
So, what are the key elements to achieving operational excellence? Du- Pont found that one of the key steps is to create an aligned and productive culture.
Founded in 1802, DuPont is a chemical-based manufacturing company. Throughout its history, the company has learned many safety and asset management lessons. Over the years, DuPont has come to understand that the often hidden influence on safety performance – the people part – is also key to operational excellence and asset management. By fixing the safety culture and setting the right mind-sets and behaviors for safety, the company found it not only improved its safety performance in the long run, but also its productivity and operations excellence in asset management. This article outlines the main features of this cultural journey, which can be applied to any organization.
Figure 2: DuPont's business results linked to operational excellence
Getting the Balance Right
All companies want to create value: for society, for the customer and for the stakeholders. As companies strive to create value, they have to strike a delicate balance between risk management and driving profit. There are two main strategies for achieving this. The first is to reduce risk to an acceptable level (protecting the asset). The second is to increase profit in a sustainable way (optimizing the asset). Everything DuPont does in asset management stems from those two clear business imperatives.
The ideal scenario is for a company to mitigate risk while achieving ever-rising profits. That may sound utopian, but is, in fact, linked. DuPont recognized this and, therefore, set out to establish a sustainable model, as shown in quadrant 1 of Figure 3. Profit is balanced by risk mitigation to a tolerable and acceptable level.
Figure 3: Business value risk model
So far, so good. But how does a company achieve this status?
Like many other companies, DuPont has worked with numerous systems, from Six Sigma to Lean, and other logical tool sets that support technical models. One of the aims, of course, has been to improve asset productivity and eliminate waste. Many of these are excellent tools and DuPont still uses and establishes competencies in them. However, the trap that is easy to fall into is the illusion that these systems alone will transform asset productivity. The same holds true for PAS55 and now ISO55000 or ISO55000 in conjunction with ISO31000 for risk management. These standards provide an excellent framework for asset management and help companies develop their internal strategies and standards to support value creation from an asset. But, as important as these systems are and however much they appeal to those who are engineers and scientists, they are not enough on their own.
In fact, the recently produced International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) report2 into asset integrity failures across the industry found that among the top causes of incidents were human factors, competencies and failure to establish technical and capability programs in a sustainable way. As will be discovered further on, these company behavior patterns are set at leadership level. Culture and mind-sets are engendered from the top. As another report by Oil & Gas UK3 in 2009 highlighted, the number one underlying cause for asset management events is poor leadership. Again, culture and mind-sets are engendered from the top.
Promoting Independence
At DuPont, it is recognized that leadership and other human factors influence outcomes. It is, therefore, people’s behavior that is the focus of the company’s safety performance, production system and other management models.
Over the years, DuPont has developed a safety assessment tool called the DuPont Bradley Curve,4 based on the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. This model allows DuPont to assess where it is in its safety culture. It has become clear that there is a tipping point in an organization when the culture becomes much more effective and develops its own momentum. This critical point of transition lies between the dependent and independent phases shown on the Bradley Curve in Figure 4. Once employees cross the cultural bridge from compliance (force) to choice, they become supremely motivated, not just for safety, but also for operational excellence.
The reason for this lies in people’s innate attitudes and behaviors. The following explains how employees are likely to act and react in the different phases of the Bradley Curve, particularly as it applies to operations, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Figure 4: The DuPont Bradley Curve
Reactive culture
An organization that finds itself in the reactive phase is in a vicious cycle of one action resulting in a destructive reaction. Behavior is based on instinct. Compliance is the goal. People follow the rules because they have to. The “law of the jungle” prevails. The attitude is likely to be, “just get the day in;” do whatever it takes to get through it fast and out the other end. Reactive behavior often manifests in people taking shortcuts, schedule busting, little discrimination in prioritizing work (everything is urgent), little or no schedule backlogs, etc. This is where companies encounter “silos” and a notion of “the enemy,” whereas operations versus maintenance versus reliability. This is the worst place to be and is often reflected in safety performance, too. It is not a good environment to work in!
Dependent culture
Dependence is a little better, but employees will still do things only because they are told to, or because there is an implied threat. Fear and discipline are the motivators. In this organizational culture, people leave their brains behind in the workplace parking lot and let their bosses decide for them. If the boss gets it wrong, there can be big implications. If the boss is not there, employees tend to slip back into reactive behavior. In this environment, there may be a focus on training, but not necessarily on competence.
Independent culture
In this quadrant, there is a subtle, yet significant mind-set change. People follow the rules because they want to and because they see the sense and benefits in doing so. That makes for a much better place to work. In this environment, people know what the right thing to do is and they do it. They often understand their role is directly linked to business results. Applied to asset management, this means the culture of maintenance reliability leadership has changed from a cost focus to a value focus. As a matter of fact, this aligns with the ISO55000 asset management standard. In an independent behavior phase, you begin to see individual recognitions and the adoption of good and best practices because everyone knows the goal. However, there is still room for improvement.
Interdependent culture
Once organizations attain a culture of interdependence, things are done for the greater good. Organizations are in a virtuous cycle of one action affirming a new, better action. Everyone is aligned with a joint goal. Operations work as equal partners with maintenance reliability. People cross boundaries without being asked to do so and proactively help each other. There is collaboration. Knowledge is codified and shared. Mentoring and coaching is the norm. There is team recognition, but not just for heroic efforts, such as those responding to an after-hours production incident. In this environment, a planner or planning team that quietly and methodically extracts value and eliminates waste by superior planning will be recognized and receive acclaim. Thus, the virtue of proactivity trumps reactivity.
The best things about the interdependent quadrant are:
- It is NOT Utopia, it’s attainable;
- It comes with superior safety results because the attitude is the same for safety, reliability, operations excellence, etc.;
- It is sustainable.
The same quadrants of the Bradley Curve used at DuPont to monitor and assess safety culture also apply to other management systems. If employees act independently and responsibly because they see the value for themselves and for the business, that not only benefits safety, but also maintenance, reliability, performance, output and quality, all of which contribute to creating value and improving operational excellence.
But what makes people want to become that interdependent? It is quite a leap from reactive behavior to independence and interdependence. DuPont believes the clue is in visibly demonstrating leadership commitment so people see and feel that senior management is doing exactly what it also expects from all employees.
Achieving Sustainable Asset Productivity
Driven by an imperative for asset productivity sustainability in a period of intense business challenges, DuPont developed its own DuPont Production System (DPS). This system is based on a four-strand approach:
- Managing or Governance Process;
- Technical Model;
- Capability Model;
- Mind-sets and Behaviors.
Figure 5: Clean tech- Sulfur Morses Mill (Morses)
DuPont has transformed its own business model in the past seven years by working with this four-strand approach. DuPont has found from its work with other companies through its consulting business, DuPont Sustainable Solutions, that companies tend to concentrate on the technical, capability, or governance processes. These are very important. However, in order for a business and asset management processes to succeed and thrive, it is equally important to promote the right culture.
Once DuPont applied its Bradley Curve culture assessment learnings, coupled with the right leading indicators, to operations excellence, maintenance, reliability and other capabilities, they began to flourish. Technical and capability models will not work without understanding the true culture of an organization and what needs fixing. And to fix, you start with leadership.
DuPont has found that a sustainable solution to operations excellence, which includes an asset management program, is only viable if the right governance, technical model, capabilities and, critically, a supportive culture are in place. If any one of these elements is weak, the whole program is likely to fail.
As an owner-operator, DuPont is in a unique position to assess and guide other companies through DuPont Sustainable Solutions using real- time experience. With a toolbox of mind-set and behavior resources, Du- Pont has worked with clients in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, energy, mining, agriculture and food to assess where they are and to help them move, as DuPont has had to do, to the right side of the Bradley Curve.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.—The breakneck speed at which self-driving and connected-car technology is evolving is forcing the industry to change how products will be developed, according to Tamara Snow, head of systems and technology for Continental North America's interiors division.
"New technology is coming at a faster and faster rate, and for this reason we need to be able to harness disruption and change what we innovate and how we innovate," Snow told an audience July 30 at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars.
She said "agile" product development is crucial to ensuring companies stay competitive as the vehicle morphs from manual to self-driving.
"There are many factors to agile development," Snow said. "Part of those would be things like: Are our teams set up in the organization to be flexible? Are we ready for shorter release cycles? And if so, do we have shorter approval cycles to help us with those new release cycles? Are we balancing agility and risk management?
"These are some of the things we have to think about in order to move faster with the pace of change."
Snow said change is being driven by government regulations and consumer demand, meaning suppliers have to navigate the gap between the two and look for opportunities to develop new products.
"Real trends such as digitalization and demographics are at the forefront of disruption. But there are other factors that are influencing them. Society and technology can push and pull change in different directions at faster rates," Snow said. "Government can drive change from the top down, while consumers can demand it from the bottom up. Each of these factors influences the other, creating a kind of wave effect.
"We have to be able to identify opportunities."
Snow said companies should be open to joint ventures, collaborations and partnerships and view these business relationships as a chance to move faster than developing technologies in-house.
One early product that shows Continental's evolving approach to product development is its Integrated Cockpit System, which debuted last fall at the Frankfurt auto show.
It is a fully configurable driver information system that spans the width of the vehicle and places information in front of the driver on fully reconfigurable screens. Sideview mirrors are eliminated and those views are projected onto screens in the display. Without looking away from the road, the driver can control the presentation of information on screens.
Snow said new technologies won't alienate drivers.
"We're going to be able to get these two technologies to adapt to humans," she said, "rather than for humans to adapt to the technology." |

The Korea Communications Commission (KCC, acting chairman Kim Hyo-jae) announced the upcoming second public contest of a project to support the production cost of broadcasting advertisements for innovative SMEs in 2023 with the Korea Broadcast Advertising Corporation (KOBACO). Here innovative SMEs refer to ventures, InnoBizs (technical innovation), MainBizs (management innovation), GreenBizs (excellent green management), Green Biz, Certified Green Enterprises in Korea, Global IP Star Enterprises, Certified IP Management Enterprises, Social Enterprises, Preliminary Social Enterprises, enterprises supported by Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation (aT Center), Regional Innovation Leading Enterprises, Green New Deal Promising Enterprises, Baby Unicorn Companies, Designated Innovative Product Companies, and enterprises supported by the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. Since 2015, the KCC has been supporting the production of broadcasting advertisements for small and medium-sized companies that possess excellent technology but are suffering from low awareness and limited marketing capabilities. This year, a total of 1.44 billion won will be allocated to 47 companies, covering 31 TV advertisements and 16 radio advertisements. The first public contest was held in February, and a total of 29 companies, including 19 TV advertisements and 10 radio advertisements, are currently producing broadcasting advertisements. In the second public contest, 18 companies will be chosen, including 12 TV advertisements and 6 radio advertisements. Small and medium-sized companies selected after screening will receive up to 45 million won for TV advertisements within 50% of production costs and up to 3 million won for radio advertisements within 70% of production costs. In addition, the companies can receive one-on-one customized consultation on the overall production and transmission of broadcasting advertisements free of charge from advertising experts. If a selected company wants to continue to broadcast the advertisement in the future, it will be eligible to apply for a discount of up to 70% on broadcasting advertisement transmission costs implemented by the KOBACO and broadcasters such as KBS and MBC. The application period is from Wednesday, June 7 to 16:00, Tuesday, June 20, and applicants can apply on the website of the KOBACO (http://www.kobaco.co.kr/smad). The result of the selection will be announced in July after the screening. ※ Detailed information, such as application forms and other necessary documents, can be found on the website mentioned, and the schedule for selection is subject to change based on the volume of applications. |

N2 - Digital simulation models have become increasingly important to innovation processes. When used within organisations intent on innovating products, processes or services, the affordances of these technologies can enable the possibility to explain, experiment, and predict complex systems. As complex tools, however, models must become integrated into a social context characterised by differences in technical knowledge about when, how, and why the models are useful. In this paper, we draw on our experiences studying the labour of digital modelling work over the past 10 years to discuss some of the important social mechanisms through which models come to be trusted by stakeholders, and, consequently, integrated into innovation processes. By comparing three very different contexts we show that the work of trust-building requires modellers to create appeals to the credibility of the model’s analysis, the utility of its outputs, and to negotiate unavoidable political issues that emerge from differing values among parties in the innovation process. Revealing this labour positions models as social objects, and leads us to provide practical recommendations for scholars and practitioners who hope to use modelling as a key process for digital innovation.

Recently, I represented Kincannon & Reed, a platinum sponsor at FoodTech IL in Tel Aviv. I collaborated with Jonathan Berger, CEO of The Kitchen Hub, and Elaine Watson, Senior Editor of FoodNavigator – USA, discussing the merits of two types of CEOs – the entrepreneurial founder versus the seasoned executive.
There were more than two thousand attendees representing startup organisations, investors, and larger multi-nationals. The buzz and excitement about food tech was palpable, and the common themes running through the conversations my colleague Christophe Dumont and I had focused on the explosion in activity, what the innovations mean for the global food systems, and the implications for organisational leadership.
Israel is exceptional and boasts a thriving innovation culture and a highly developed innovation ecosystem. Last year alone, the amount of funding sourced by alternative protein startups within the country secured them the number two spot globally. The United States was number one.
The ever-growing global population continues to place stress on food systems around the world. This demands innovation, which is something the Israeli government not only understands but embraces and supports. If the Israeli government’s investment into the food tech eco-system is anything to go by, innovation seems to be a national strategic priority for the country. Scaling these innovations beyond the borders of Israel will require disruptive leaders who understand global markets and deliver rapid consumer adoption.
At the conference, we met leaders from organisations investing in or representing specialty food ingredients, alternative proteins, equipment, robotics, and data analytics along with many others. Our conversations focused on the unique skills and attributes that successful leaders need to have in their armory.
Through our many conversations and the discussions I had on the stage with Jonathan Berger, there seemed to be broad alignment that high-growth organisations need CEOs who are trusted change agents. They need to be agile and adaptable as well as driven and focused. Collaborative, communicative, and resilient, they thrive in fast-paced environments and where innovation flourishes and is wired into their own and their team’s DNA.
I will be attending Food Tech Il again in 2023 and am excited to visit Tel Aviv and meet many more inspirational entrepreneurs.

The Cloud Impact on Businesses
What is the most phenomenal technical advancement that has changed the business economics recently? Any guesses? Yes, it is nothing but the Cloud Impact.
The concept emerged in the last decade and in a short time, it appears in the headlines of all leading business and IT magazines today.
Giants like Gartner predict a worldwide year-on-year growth of 18% and the total business is expected to reach 250 Billion USD.
If you ask technical brains (CFOs and CIOs) of big organizations, then more than two-third of them says that Cloud will have the biggest impact on businesses in the whole world.
What makes it such a whooping success?
The biggest reason for its success is the ability to offer new and complex business models. Moreover, Cloud computing has orchestrated global integration networks in a quite a significant manner than most of the technical minds predicted.
As a result, it has been adopted much significantly by SMBs (Small and Medium Businesses) and mid-tier companies than expectations. In fact, the majority of the researchers are adjusting their forecasts upward.
The fundamental reason behind the popularity is its ability to uplift revenues. There are examples when
Efficiency improvement and cost reduction are phenomenal
If we compare to IT spending on Cloud computing, then it has grown as high as five percent in the past decade. Experts believe that it will increase further by 2020. Why are people spending so much money on it? They are spending because they see phenomenal benefits,
Reports say that by using Cloud environment, businesses improved time to market drastically. The improvement was more than 20 percent which is great by any performance standards. Also, it brings average 20 percent increase in the growth of the company and increases process efficiency also by 20%.
As far as cost reduction is concerned, then at least 15 to 20 percent drop in operational costs and overall IT expenditure has been reported due to the Cloud impact in organizations. Though not significant, at least 1 percent drop in IT maintenance cost was observed due to the cloud.
Three biggest impacts on your business
Technically speaking, Cloud computing is a type of Network Computing on a grand scale. It is a complex array of servers distributed across the Internet.
Since the interfaces run on browsers in local computers, it offers a seamless, real-time experience to the users. These local computers can be desktops, laptops, tablets or even mobile phones.
Typically, the software applications are installed and managed by third-party implementers. The applications are accessible from everywhere and anywhere, making the backend completely transparent to the users.
Due to its inherent capabilities, Cloud brings three incredible benefits to the business environment.
Cloud Impact 1 >> It makes communication faster
Cloud computing enhances business communication affordably. Since you seamlessly access every bit of information, adopting decentralized structure is quite easy.
Since there is a lot of Gung-Ho about decentralization, cloud service providers capitalize it by offering reliable and cost-effective solutions. You can communicate with team members spread across the globe in real-time.
As the cloud environment becomes further efficient and dependable, there is no risk of losing a single bit of data.
You can use the whole spectrum of platforms to connect to the cloud i.e. handheld devices, laptops, and desktops.
You can arrange high-resolution, multi-party video conference calls to connect to multiple team members across the globe. New cloud communication models incorporate a plethora of facilities and services to make it further useful.
With video and audio conferencing becoming the standard operating protocol in modern businesses, it is mandatory to make use of the cloud to achieve a higher degree of communication.
Cloud Impact 2 >> Easy data access is another virtue of Cloud model
Cloud offers better and enhanced business environment to clients, and easy access to data is one major business benefit.
Since you can access data, information, and software from any nuke and corner of the world, there is no need of carrying business specific applications on the laptop. Don’t carry the full suite of tailor-made software that is being used in your company.
You simply need an interface that can run the browser. The whole application setup becomes independent of the end-user machine.
It gives immense flexibility and easiness to professionals who need to travel across the business setup located in different geographies.
Moreover, it brings uniformity of operations in the whole organization.
Since all applications and software are on the cloud, there is no risk of losing the application software. Your password-protected data is accessible all across.
Cloud Impact 3 >> Collaborate securely
When you implement business software in the organization, upgrades are inevitable. Over the period, you need to install new features, add security patches, and fix the bugs as well.
Cloud makes these things easy in two ways.
Firstly, the responsibility of handling all these activities lies on the service provider. Since they are expert in the niche, you needn’t to worry about the technical support.
Secondly, it becomes possible to extend the training and technical knowledge to the whole team in one shot.
Each member of the crew becomes familiar with the changes in the networking parameters, updates in the operating system or installation of security patches.
Since collaboration is an integral part of your business, implementing cloud becomes all the more useful. Access files, data and other important information anywhere and anytime.
Changes made in the system become visible instantly all across. Physical and geographical limitations no longer exist. Cloud makes the business independent of the physical IT resources.
Cloud computing is virtually “server-less” computing, and its popularity makes operations easy. More and more businesses are adapting to this new-age method for enhancing business effectiveness. Since there is a lesser dependency on on-site infrastructure, it is indeed a profitable option.
With increasing cloud impact, we can assume that the coming era will be the ‘cloud era’. Those who are not on the cloud will move to it, and those who are already there will accept the significant changes happening in the cloud environment. |

The reality of the matter is that in case you should have a fruitful enterprise, it’s essential to do it within the computerized age, which we as a complete should have embraced utterly now. It’s a actuality and if you grow to be conversant in computerized promoting simply as different superior gadgets, you’ll doubtless respect it.
What the computerized age has meant for the way organizations are run
In case you might be at the place you might be starting a enterprise, you’ll doubtless make some extra easy reminiscences of it and grow to be fruitful extra quickly than you’ll have earlier than innovation was working at an plain degree.
Having a powerful info base which you could apply to promoting your picture and your objects in addition to administrations may have all the impact to your accomplishment in enterprise and with out it, you gained’t get a lot of anyplace in your small business. Some portion of that info is having an honest comprehension of the promoting level of your small business. Promoting is primary to all organizations and it’s completely very important so that you can both have the choice to showcase your picture or to get one other individual to do it for you. All that really issues is that it’s executed successfully.
All people cherishes a enterprise visionary
Today, enterprise individuals and enterprise ventures are throughout regarded for all that they’re making an attempt to do (and, ideally, prevailing at). That mentality has been growing all through the newest fairly a protracted whereas and enterprise visionaries are approached equally as in a severe method as any remaining cash managers. If a person who’s starting one other enterprise has an inclination that their endeavors will presumably not repay, provided that the person has a novel level to what the individual in query is making an attempt to do, there’s a respectable likelihood that the person will succeed (to some extent for a while).
Thus, the choice to make right here is that not solely ought to the enterprise visionary deal with the enterprise in a severe method but others will likewise take that particular person and their endeavors actually. Reality be informed, to go above and past, these others can presumably moreover recommend the enterprise individual and their contributions to others.
The traits of a viable enterprise visionary
A viable enterprise visionary is one who has a ton of constructive power, holds the consideration of the curiosity group half efficiently, is licensed, and is obvious and compact concurrently. As a person who’s contacting others to make clear the core of the enterprise, have the choice to do this with as couple of phrases as might be anticipated.

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.
Thanks to Sumit Bansal, CraftofBlogging.com!
#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.
Thanks to Candace Stevens, Number Cruncher LLC!
#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.

#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.
Thanks to Paige Arnof-Fenn, Mavens & Moguls!
#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 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.

Scheme overview
The programme is supported under the UK Government’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). The £337m fund is designed to enable potential and foster prosperity. It puts research and innovation at the heart of our international relationships, supporting UK researchers and innovators to work with peers around the world on the major themes of our time: planet, health, tech, and talent. The fund is managed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and delivered by a consortium of the UK’s leading research and innovation bodies.
The objective of the Global Innovation Fellowships is to provide opportunities to UK-based early- and mid-career researchers from across the humanities and social sciences to develop their skills, networks and careers in the creative and cultural, public, private and policy sectors to address challenges that require innovative approaches and solutions. Through the Global Innovation Fellowships, researchers in the SHAPE community will be supported to create new and deeper links beyond academia, so enabling knowledge mobilisation and translation, as well as individual skills development.
This is the second call for this programme, offering opportunities for Global Innovation Fellowship award holders to embed themselves and be based in the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (specifically in the USA, with possibilities to engage in other regions as appropriate). Awards from the first round can be seen here.
In a complex, changing, and increasingly contested world, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace generates strategic ideas and independent analysis, supports diplomacy, and trains the next generation of international scholar-practitioners to help countries and institutions take on the most difficult global problems and safeguard peace. It is recognised as the leading global foreign policy think tank. Carnegie’s experts are thinkers and doers from diverse disciplines and perspectives working together across borders on issues such as democracy, technology, and climate change with deep expertise and understanding of regional contexts in Asia, Africa, Europe, India, the Middle East, and Russia and Eurasia.
The aim is to have a mutually beneficial partnership between the fellowship award holder and Carnegie with each able to take advantage of fresh perspectives and expand their networks and reach. It will enable the award holder to strengthen and create new links across policy and academia, enabling knowledge mobilisation and translation, and the opportunity to develop new approaches and solutions to policy challenges through providing a different perspective.
Applications are invited in any of the following five areas:
- Sustainability, Climate and Geopolitics.
- Technology and International Affairs.
- Democracy, Conflict & Governance.
- Global Order and Institutions.
- Nuclear Policy.
- Political Economy and Trade.
There are no preconceived ideas about the disciplinary background of the award holder, but the applicant will need to demonstrate a solid understanding of the relevant issues, including the applicable policy landscape and the systemic challenges that it faces. Language skills where relevant are desirable but not essential.
Scheme opens date: 24 July 2024
Application Deadline: Applications must be submitted by 27 November 2024, 17:00 GMT.
Starting period of award: Global Innovation Fellowships are expected to commence by September 2025. An earlier start date of March or April 2025 may be possible, in this case the applicant will need to explain how they will plan and manage their relocation on this faster timeline.
Level of award: The Academy is offering up to two one-year fellowships hosted in Carnegie’s offices in the USA (Washington DC or California). These are offered as awards for up to £150,000 for 12 months in duration (with Full Economic Costing at 80%).

OIM9526 #CX #XD Innovation
(Formerly MOB9526 #CX #UX #XD)
1.5 Intensive Elective Credits
This course will complement an existing graduate 1.5-credit elective called Strategies for Innovation and Growth. It is also a good complement to the Managing Technological Innovation course. As their titles suggest, the latter course is overwhelmingly focused on technology based products and hi-tech industries while the former is focused on how can large firms can create and sustain innovation and growth activities. This course will complement two existing graduate 1.5-credit electives (1) Leading Innovation @ Gorillas, Chimps & Monkeys and (2) Innovation Processes.
All countries go through life cycles-agriculture, manufacturing, services and knowledge. The majority of the developed world can be considered today to be primarily in the post-service knowledge based industries. Providing services in addition to goods, which were at one time a differentiator for most businesses are more or less commoditized today. Several trends have emerged over the last 15 years: (1) Move from Services to Experiences; (2) Emergence of new Digital and Networked Economies; (3) Information and Knowledge Intense Economies; (4) the rise of the new post-PC industry, also known as the TIME industry, i.e., the convergence of the Telecom, Information, Media and Entertainment industries and (5) new forms of Designing & Delivering Great Customer Experiences. This course explores the innovations that are driving all these trends as primarily applied to a broad section of service industries-Airlines, Retail, Hospitality, Healthcare, Financial, B2B, TIME and even Not-for-Profits.
This course will cover: understanding the customer psychology and perceptions in service interactions; explore concepts, methods and tools to dream, define, design and deliver great customer experiences; innovative strategies to use customer experience as a differentiator; and how the convergence of digital technologies - data, voice & video - is helping firms to engage customers in new and innovative ways.

ANT4600 Accessing Health? Design, Inequality and the Politics of Place
4 Advanced Liberal Arts Credits
Health outcomes vary widely across the globe: there is a gap of more than 30 years in the life expectancies of the longest-lived and shortest-lived countries. Yet decades' and in some cases centuries' worth of projects to improve health outcomes have faltered. Why, amidst a plethora of potential solutions, do poor health and health inequality persist?
This course investigates the relationship between human health, the places where we live, and the management of health through design and planning. Illness is both a justification for the exercise of power and a consequence of the inequalities that power leaves in its wake. This creates an apparent paradox where expert technologies of biomedicine and planning seem to offer the promise of better lives but also re-inscribe illness in already unhealthy populations. We will examine the fragmented conceptions of the body, community, health, and place that both make these efforts possible and make them unlikely to succeed in achieving health equality.
The course explores the interaction between public health and planning norms and the everyday lives of people on the margin of these projects. We will pay particular attention to questions regarding how race, gender, and disability shape both health and experiences of place in the global South and North. After an overview of the humanistic social sciences' approaches to the relationship between health and place in weeks 1-2, the readings in the first half of the course are organized around top-down projects to create healthier populations and the everyday strategies of resistance that people who find themselves caught up in these projects employ. The readings in the second half of the course explore people's bottom-up efforts to forge a different relationship between place and health, with particular attention to the politics of design.
In this course, students will complete a two-part research project that explores how differently situated social groups seek to change places and their people in pursuit of health. In part one, you will draw on theories explored in this course to examine a "top-down" approach to the production of health. For instance, you might look at a particular city's urban planning policies, the work of a transnational NGO, the management of a forest, or an anti-Zika campaign. In part two, you will explore a "bottom-up" approach to health by documenting people's every day and grassroots practices for keeping or making themselves healthy. This could include but is not limited to guerrilla urbanism, disability activism, techniques of visibility/invisibility as everyday resistance, Black place-making, or food justice. You are not required to locate both parts of the project in the same place, nor are you required to organize both parts of the project around the same health problem. This project is an opportunity for you to explore a topic in which you are genuinely interested-so please let me know if you are feeling like you need some encouragement to choose the "riskier" option.

POL4601 Africa Rising?
4 Advanced Liberal Arts CreditsThis interdisciplinary course on contemporary Africa examines political, economic and social developments in the context of the now common mantra "Africa Rising." It takes a historical look at Africa's relations with global development actors and how these have impacted individual states and the entire continent. It includes a comparative analysis of Africa's partnership(s) with the different regions of the world (broadly categorized into East and West, Global South and Global North) and time spans (broadly grouped into colonial and post-colonial). It also examines processes, actors, events and partnerships within independent Africa and how they have contributed to the present state of the continent, which observers have described as rising. The course interrogates this observation. How truly is "Africa rising"? What is the cost of the rise? What does it mean for individuals, states and the entire continent? Why/how does it matter? The course focuses on these (and other important) questions, considering examples from various sectors, events, countries, bilateral and multilateral arrangements with African states and in relation to the rest of the world. It uses a variety of materials including texts, news and journal articles, as well as electronic and internet-based resources.

What have 8 of Morocco’s support organizations for tech entrepreneurship achieved?
Many startups are now getting support in Morocco either at the seed or growth stage, but support programs and organizations are too few, and not good enough to help the birth of a real entrepreneurial culture worthy of the American model.
In this piece, we will look back on a selection of initiatives supporting tech entrepreneurship, and draw lessons for the startups, and suggestions for improvement for support organizations.
We’ve decided to limit ourselves to eight initiatives, but there are many more. Give us your opinion on those, and other initiatives in the comment section.
The community-driven initiatives
Startup Maroc has managed to import the successful Startup Weekend American program to Morocco, and organized a 12-stop roadshow in 2014 that has reached 1,200 young Moroccans. Startup Maroc has also organized various startup competitions thanks to its sponsors OCP Entrepreneurship Network, including Maroc Startup Cup, a 6-month business model competition offering a $1,100 USD to the winner
What have they really done? Startup Maroc has managed to spread the entrepreneurship culture to students, and to tell them about business models, business plans, and minimum viable products. But too many projects don’t last a year. Participants need more mentoring and tracking after the competitions to improve the impact the organization has.
Its slogan “Let’s build a startup community in Morocco!” says it all. StartupYourLife, is a community of young Moroccan entrepreneurs who share resources and experiences. Its Meet Ups are regular events that bring together the community, but cofounder Kenza Lahlou wants to go further. She told us during the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, that 2015 will see a more complete program with mentorship and competitions.
What have they really done? StartupYourLife piqued the media’s interest, and managed to bring enthusiasts, angels, and potential investors together. But a lot still has to be done to bring to the community the media coverage it deserves, and StartupYourLife needs to gear up its plans.
Seedstars World is a global competition that wants to identify startups within high potential on startup scenes in emerging economies, and give them access to an international network of investors and mentors. This year saw the launch of Seedstars Casablanca in May, in partnership with StartupYourLife. 18 startups took part in the competition, and three were given prizes, for a total amount of $11,000 USD. The winner will take part in the finale that will take place in Geneva in the hope of getting an investment that could reach $500,000 USD.
What have they really done? Seedstars program permits help to local startups for their expansion. Sadly, it went almost unnoticed this year (only 30 startups applied), maybe because it was communicating in English.
Located in the heart of Casablanca, the coworking space New Work Lab has become the place for entrepreneurs to meet, and attend meetups, like the Pitch Lab sessions, that offer startups real visibility. The founder, Fatim-Zahra Biaz, has been awarded Wamda’s Karim Jazouani prize this year. Her recent partnership with telco Inwi should make 2015 a really interesting year.
What have they really done? The coworking space offers the community a place to meet, work, and exchange. Clearly, Biaz has reached her goal.
The private and institutional organizations
Maroc Numeric Fund is an institutional fund of $11m USD dedicated to high-tech companies, and has already invested in several projects. For more than a year now, the fund has chosen to focus on more mature companies with tickets going from $450,000 to $900,000 USD.
What have they really done? MNF is the organization giving the biggest financial help to Moroccan startups, but some of the startups they invested in have failed, and this discourages some entrepreneurs [editors note: the failing rate of MNF is actually in line with the one VCs are seeing in the rest of the world].
Maroc Numeric 2013 is a strategy that the Ministry of Digital Economy started in 2009 to make the country an emerging nation in the ICT field. With a $580m USD budget, the program was to launch 18 initiatives whose descriptions were left voluntarily vague, but ranged from investments to subsidies in fields like SMEs and education.
What have they really done? After five years, the results are not so astonishing. If 87% of public schools now have basic multimedia equipment, and most red tape is now digital, much is left to be done to update the IT system in public institutions, as well as human resources training .
The Imtiaz program, for high-potential companies, has helped 170 companies for some $68m USD, but it’s far below the need of the makers, and the eligibility criterion are too strict.
Maroc Numeric Cluster is a strategic plan that the Ministry of Digital Economy initiated in 2010 to help innovative projects, in the fields of mobile, computer security, banking, digital rights, multimedia, and software, to see the light of day.
They’re mostly known for the Mobile Monday Maroc, conferences that brought together the players from the digital scene to discuss gaming, mobile banking, and internet, and for co-organizing Trophées de l'Innovation IT.
What have they really done? Although rare the MNC’s events are good events, but the Cluster should go beyond organizing events, and should take part in developing the sector by promoting R&D, training, and innovation. [Disclosure: MNC works with The Nexties, the media outlet of which I’m the editor in chief].
OCP Entrepreneurship Network is a program created by the famous Moroccan corporation OCP to foster entrepreneurship in Morocco, and enable small companies to grow and become sustainable. They offer technical and financial help through a large network of partners including Startup Maroc, Endeavor Morocco, Mowgli Mentoring, and Réseau Maroc Entreprendre.
What have they really done? The program is starting to have a positive impact on the community, but as the Moroccan expression goes “one hand only cannot clap,” we need more corporations to follow the lead of the Office Chérifien des Phosphates.
Of course this list is far from being exhaustive. We haven’t mentioned the Centre Marocain de l’innovation, and its Intilak and Tatwir programs, whose impact has been the subject of a few articles lately (here and here), Endeavor Morocco, who launched less than a year ago, mentorship networks like Mowgli, and Réseau Entreprendre, telecom operators Inwi, and Méditel’ programs, the support organization CEED Morocco, or the student networks Enactus, Injaz Al Maghrib.
So, how can we improve the situation
Those last five years have proved that the development of an ecosystem for tech companies requires the development of a community, through interaction and events. Ideally, a lobby should defend the interests of the various players, and work to make the administrative, fiscal, financial and legal environment more innovation compatible.
This half-decade has also shown that offering funds is not enough. A quick look at MNF results proves that young entrepreneurs need mentorship and followup more than funds. The digital economy startups need incubators, technological hubs, and accelerators, to become a vector of social and economic improvement.
As for the entrepreneurs, they should know by now that they cannot depend on public funds, and the support of the government, as money will always arrive later than planned.
What do entrepreneurs expect from the government and corporations?
The digital economy and innovation can only grow if a financial revolution takes place, this would require the development of digital transactions, mobile payments, participative funding, and tax concessions both for microenterprises, investors and VCS.
Banks should also pay more attention to the technological market; and entrepreneurs should meet them half way, learning the bank language, and coming with solid business plans, precise financial projections, and a strong database of clients.
Finally, this culture has to be promoted among students, and private companies, and universities should work hand in hand to make finding internship, and sharing experience easier. |

Entertainment is an incredibly important part of life. Hard work days are made a lot more tolerable when we know we can come home and relax with a game of cards, a film, or a television show. However, for a long time, film and television were not possible. But new tech came along and changed the world of entertainment. In a similar vein, new tech is still improving the entertainment industry to this day. So, let us explore the ways in which tech has improved or changed the world of entertainment.
Table of Contents
ToggleOnline Entertainment
We call the 21st century the Digital Age. In this era, the internet and computer science are dominant. So, it isn’t surprising that online entertainment is also gaining quite a bit of popularity. Video games frequently come with an online multiplayer option, with some primarily focusing on co-op play. A great example would be the multiplayer online battle arena genre, which features games like “Defends of the Ancients”, “League of Legends,” and “Smite.”
The iGaming industry has become a multi-billion-dollar industry. And it doesn’t stop there.
VR, AR, ER
Fans of classic science fiction will all be familiar with the concept of virtual reality. A completely computer generated world made flesh through some kind of tech once seemed a distant dream. Nowadays, you can purchase an Oculus headset at your local tech shop, and experience the glory and the wonder of the virtual world.
Virtual reality, augmented reality, and extended reality, while different in practice, all rely on the same basic theory. What if our world was enhanced by computer graphics? The goal of this tech is to create a much more immersive experience for gamers, and truly make them feel like they are a part of the game world.
Of course, the technology is not limited to gaming. Many have suggested that athletes could use VR to create accurate training simulations. Some have even put forth the idea of VR-based, inter-continental work meetings. Whatever the case may be, the entertainment industry is certainly one that will thrive with the advancements in VR.
Social Media
While the influence of social media on culture and society is obvious, the power it has had over the entertainment industry often goes underappreciated. Not only have social media campaigns had a huge impact on popularizing shows and films that have flown under the radar, but many websites have also propelled lesser-known indie creators to superstar status.
An excellent example would be the game Hades, released in 2020. Developed by an independent studio, Supergiant, the roguelike video game’s massive success can largely be attributed to the large social media following that the game attained. Other similar examples of independent content getting recognition include the following:
- Critical Role’s animated series “The Legend of Vox Machina” mainly got off the ground thanks to a dedicated following of the original podcast and a KickStarter campaign.
- The Binding of Isaac is another roguelike, indie game, that attained popularity thanks to YouTube and Twitch Let’s Plays.
- SoundCloud rap is a fairly popular subgenre of rap, which came about from independent singer/songwriters on the streaming service SoundCloud.
Online Streaming Services
Similarly, to social media, online streaming services have had a huge influence on the popularization of entertainment content. Netflix’s acquisition of certain television shows helped propel those shows further in fame and broaden their fan base. Not to mention, the influence that streaming has had on the popularization of anime and Asian dramas in general.
However, it isn’t just about the popularity. Thanks to stuff like Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime, etc. content is now easier to get ahold of than ever. People no longer have to wait for Blu-Rays, DVDs, or other physical means to watch their favorite shows. All that is necessary is for them to pay for an account, and they will be exposed to a whole world of different types of content. Truly, convenience is the greatest virtue of the 21st century.

wallstreetwaves_com_the-impact-of-experiential-technology-in-the-fight-against-climate-change_ | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4030
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.

Why should you make the leap right NOW? We’ll get to that in a minute, but first let’s take things a little further… Do we really need to have a NOW?
There may not be an answer to the question ‘why start a business?’ Or rather, there may be a million different reasons, and they’re surely all good ones. Everyone has their reasons, but when you finally decide to give your project a go, you’re bound to wonder whether it’s the right time to do so. You study the market, and that gives you clues for building a company that fits with the times, ensuring yourself greater chances for success.
Or not. There are many companies that never considered whether it was “the right time” to get started: Facebook, Netflix, Airbnb. They instead set in motion major trends that other entrepreneurs would end up using to identify when the ideal time for starting their own projects was. So don’t lose hope looking for a golden date on the calendar. You may not even need it. In fact, the main conclusions Lenny Rachitsky, a product and startup growth consultant and author of Lenny’s newsletter (check it out if you’ve never read it) on the topic may surprise you:
- You can build a huge business without waiting for a “now”.
- That “now” may appear later.
- Even if you have a “now,” your business could still fail.
- The “now” offers two very clear advantages (we’ll look at those now).
- There are five ways to determine the “now”.
Why start a business now: advantages
Investors are looking for a “now” because it increases the chances of success; they prefer to bet on a winning horse, obviously. And for you, the entrepreneur, there are also advantages. A perfectly clear and defined “why now” (in other words: a radical change in the world)…
- Allows you to offer a product that is ten times better: are smartphone cameras becoming more capable? Instagram arrives.
- Uncovers new needs for consumers: think of the Covid-19 lockdown scenario and Zoom’s spectacular take-off.
How to know when it’s the right time to start a business: find your “now”
We know, it’s not always easy to identify these moments. But, like we said before, there are five ways to foresee the right moment (and a crystal ball is not one of them):
- When a new technology starts to become popular (batteries for electric cars with greater autonomy and… boom! You’ve got Tesla).
- By having free access to new data or APIs (the release of the Google Maps API and… now you’ve got electric scooter/bicycle/motorbike rental services).
- When there are changes in regulations and laws (data protection law and… Voila! Telemedicine).
- As the habits of certain groups of people change (the rise of e-sports and… in comes Twitch).
- When beliefs in established values (cryptocurrencies) change.
Still not clear? Get started by expanding on a business idea. Click on the link and we’ll tell you where to find ideas (it’s easier than you think). And join Explorer to define what may become your future. Take advantage of the now!

In this guest blog post Austin Dimmer, CEO and Founder of Effective Computing shares the difficulties he has faced trying to create a sustainable software business.
I’d like to set out by letting you know that creating a successful software business is extremely hard.
I personally suffer from a rare disability that means I am not able to operate computers with traditional keyboard and mouse, as you can imagine in an age in which “software is eating the world” it is very frustrating to be physically limited in capabilities. A number of years ago I was advised by a leading doctor not to work with computers and to seek an alternative career.
I am not one to accept these limitations and thus I have devoted the last 10 years plus of my life researching Ergonomics, User Centered Design and in particular Voice Recognition Technology. The result of my research is that I have created a software program that enables me to control most of the features on my computer using voice control. The product I have created is extremely complex and even after this long period of intense R&D (6 years of 7 day weeks, longs hours and with few holidays) I have limited customer traction, no investors and I have now exhausted almost all of the goodwill of my closest family.
I live on the edge of a war zone in Ukraine. Life pretty much sucks.
I feel that I am living on the “Long Slow SaaS Ramp of Death x1000” that Gail Goodman so inspirationally talked about. Over the course of the last year the great Ukrainian people prevailed and ousted the corrupt government during the revolution. As I write this blog post, unable to accept the will of the people Russia is waging a war against Ukraine, murdering thousands and destroying the lives of many hundreds of thousands. It is against this backdrop that I attempt to maintain my optimism and belief that by creating great (software) businesses we can make this world a better and safer place for our children to grow up in. As one of the female residents of Donetsk asked her rebel leaders during the summer.
“You may kill me for asking this. Who exactly is our enemy? Our enemy is not some imaginary fascist in Kiev or some foreign lands. Our enemy is poverty.”
My Ukrainian friend and aspiring Tech Entrepreneur Bozhena Shermeta said the following about the current situation in Ukraine:
“Yet. There is no time for grief and panic. These are not the instruments to win the war. We need to learn how to go on, how to help and support each other. There is no other way to figure out how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have. Be strong, guys.”
She is right. In my attempt to stay strong I have found that one of the best strategies is to keep focused on being productive in some way. Today my goal is this blog post.
The reason why I ended up as a raving fan of the Business of Software conference, yes I admit it, is because my company is a customer of Red Gate Software.
One day whilst reading the RedGate website I came across Neil Davidson, the co-CEO and co-Founder of RedGate. Hoping to pick up some tips into how he had created a successful software company I began to follow him on Twitter. He was tweeting about the Business of Software Conference and in October 2012 I tuned into the live stream of the event. I was literally blown away. I recall watching phenomenal and inspiring talks given by Bob Dorf, Gail Goodman , Adii Peinar and Paul Kenny, Dan Pink. Kathy Siera, Dharmesh Shah, and others. I learned from Bob that the Business Plan I had taken months to write was better sent to the creative writing department than being useful as a strategic document. I also found out later that Bob was an advisor to the Happy Farm Incubator located in Kiev. Small World.
Link to all the 2012 Talks
One thing really stood out to me about the conference. Towards the end, some kind of social media storm had broken out accusing one of the speakers of sexist behaviour or language. The host of Business of Software, Mark Littlewood, got up and apologised for any misunderstandings that may have taken place. He mentioned that he had a young daughter and that he dreamt that one day perhaps she too would be able to create an amazing software company just like the speakers and attendees at the event. Sexist behaviour was not acceptable and was an issue that was taken very seriously. Wow, these guys have great values and ethics I thought to myself. Bravo Mark, you should be a proud father!
Interesting post: We don’t have a women in tech problem at Business of Software Conference
I was truly inspired. I hatched a plan to get myself in person to the conference in 2013.
At BoS 2013 I was lucky enough to see Kathy Sierra present her more deeply researched and refined ideas about creating the Minimum Bad Ass User, I watched Des Traynor (https://angel.co/intercom) mesmerize the audience with an awesome lightning talk about product strategy. Then there was Greg Baugues very moving and personal talk about developers, entrepreneurs and depression, Dharmesh filled me in on the importance of Scaling Culture, these are issues that as a hardcore engineer/coder I had not given enough thought to. My personal favourite from BoS 2014 was Scott Farquar talking about Leadership in Crisis. A few months after the conference I read news that Scott had sold his company Atlassian for $3.3 billion. Wow. Just Wow. That is living the dream, for real.
[NB. The company was not sold for $3.3 billion, there was an investment into the business that valued it at that sum].
I came away from BoS 2013 feeling inspired and wanting to work harder, to learn and to implement some of the new ideas. But I also felt a bit intimidated by the conference, a kind of nagging feeling that I would never reach the great heights of success that the speakers clearly had.
2013 Business of Software Conference Talks here.
For BoS 2014 my cash strapped company Effective Computing was lucky enough to win one of the Avangate BoS Scholarships. We were deeply grateful to Avangate for selecting us.
I found Brian Massey (http://conversionsciences.com/) and Joanna Wiebe http://copyhackers.com/ to be most excellent speakers and they provided me with highly actionable material that I plan to use over the coming months as my company starts to roll out our product offerings. I took the after conference workshop on Landing Page Optimization with Brian Massey and this helped round out the information provided in his talk and practice the techniques on our own sites.
Brian Massey (The Doctor/Professor) in action!
I found the talk by Joel Gascoigne from Buffer to be inspirational. At one point Joel was talking about how his company had opted for the remote working model and that enabled some of the Buffer employees to be able to work from home. This enabled the employee to spend less time on the commute and more time with his young family. What a fantastic thing.
As a father of two young boys I even clapped at this point and thought what a great company Joel has. I did not manage to talk with Joel in person at the conference but hopefully someday we will hook up for a chat. Joel and I made a brief connection later on Twitter.
Joel also mentioned that he was looking after himself and he looked very fit up on the stage. As a long time fitness enthusiast I admire the example Joel is setting here. Running a very exciting company and also keeping himself in good shape. Since I have been sitting down coding like a maniac for the last six years, I am not as fit as I once was and I have put on quite some weight. Partly thanks to the inspiration Joel provided I have managed to haul myself at least 200km in each of the months since attending BoS. Thanks Joel!
After the conference I read some of the blog posts Joel and his colleagues made about the early days of their company and how they networked and made contacts in San Francisco, if you need this kind of insight the buffer blog is an excellent place to go. A few months after the conference I noticed Buffer was trending on AngelList with a $60,000,000 valuation. Again impressive stuff.
During one of the lunch breaks the lunch tables were assigned conversation topics. Given my background in Ergonomics I thought I’d attend the conversation topic “Hacks for healthy coding and coders” During the conversation an employee of Axosoft was talking about the idea of trying to be the healthiest company in their state. That idea and concept is something I find really inspirational. I also noticed that a group of folks including the same girl from Axosoft were in the Seaport hotel lobby ready for a run. These folks walk the walk. Impressive.
At one point in the conference Greg Baugues was sitting in the auditorium alongside another man who was from Haiti (sorry I did not get his name). [Jonathan Marvens?] I had met Greg and his wife the year before in the Whisky Priest bar so I wanted to say hi and find out how things were going for him. His wife was expecting a baby in the near future and all seemed well with Greg. This was great news given the battles he has been waging against depression. I mentioned to Greg and his colleague how I was having quite a terrible psychological struggle at the conference. I was worried about what was going on back in Ukraine whilst simultaneously trying to keep optimistic about doing my best to build a great software company. It was a very strange dual reality that I was and still am living in. Although I am not a religious person, I have great respect for all religions. Greg and his colleague offered to say a prayer to wish for peace in Ukraine and for my family to stay out of danger. This moment of the conference was very touching and I almost had a tear in my eye. I was a great moment of connection and I am very grateful to both Greg and his colleague for their support.
Did I mention how great the attendees are?
I hope this story highlights some of the deep compassion that is present in the BoS community.
Michael Skok gave a very impressive presentation and I have been inspired by him to deepen my understanding of what he talked about by working through the excellent materials he makes available on his site.
Whilst BoS 2014 was taking place the HubSpot Inbound conference was also taking place across the street. You could feel the energy and excitement from Inbound spill over into the BoS conference. Dharmesh Shah one of the founders of HubSpot has been a favourite speaker and loyal supporter of the BoS conference and you could almost feel that everyone at BoS was full of pride at what was taking place at Inbound. Quite remarkable really.
The Avangate Dinner held in honour of the Scholarship winners was a very pleasant experience. I got to meet with quite a few Avangate employees. I found them all to be very smart and listening to them was very interesting. I even had the chance to share a Whisky afterwards. A great night of networking was had by all.
For me BoS is a multi-year journey of Business and Self Improvement.
Action items I am working on as a direct result of having attended BoS include:
- Working through and implementing the guidance contained in the Copy Hackers eBooks
- Working through and implementing the guidance contained in Michael Skok’s Startup Secrets
- Working through and implementing the guidance contained in Brian Massey’s eBook
- Working through and implementing the guidance contained in Adii Peinaar’s Your First Customers and Traction Book
- Read Business Model Generation
- Read Value Proposition Design
- Read Bob Dorf’s Startup Owners Manual
I have no doubt that the techniques and wisdom obtained by absorbing this material will be of immense benefit to me and my company moving forwards.
Have I achieved my Goals by attending BoS?
My goals were to
- Find potential customers
- Find potential employees/business partners
- Continuous and never ending improvement.
I have a few conversations open on the first two items on this list and I think that the last one is certainly a work in progress with great strides already made. After attending BoS I did have a very promising inquiry from what seemed like a prominent and legitimate investor, alas it ended up coming to nothing. Those awful emotions of rejection, disappointment, self loathing, feeling like a maverick a charlatan yet again reared their ugly head. But this is what I signed up for right? This is the journey of the software entrepreneur? These are the inevitable highs and lows that will be encountered as we travel the path? Armed the knowledge and experience acquired by attending BoS I feel that I have given myself the best chance possible to overcome these demons and build a great software business moving forwards. Being strong is the only choice I have.
This time instead of feeling intimidated by BoS I came away feeling “Yes, I can do this”.
Going to BoS is like being “Out With Legends”. Thanks again to Avangate. It may be a struggle for me to get to BoS 2015, if I can find a way to be there I will be. I thoroughly recommend going and do hope to see you there.
“It’s like being hit on the head with an anvil forged of start-up culture, ideas, and values. Something that will forever change the way you think about business, software, and organizational architecture.”
“An awesome collage of people, ideas and information that will help bootstrap your software product company into a BADASS software business with wildly ecstatic customers.”
“BoS is a software, technology, and business focused TED. And, because of that, for me, it might be better than TED.”
“Imagine a dream world of full employment, meritocracy, innovation and success, abundance, respect, and happiness. It’s real, and it’s going on all the time in the unbridled world of software, and the Business of Software conference is your window into that world.”
“Every time I come to BoS I feel like I’ve found my “tribe.” Fellow techie entrepreneurs who are dying to roll up their sleeves to get a business going.”
“I’m not one to create and execute on specific takeaways as a result of any conference. But, I’ve come to realize, after several years of attendance, the ideas and skills I’ve learned have somehow seemed to ‘leak’ into my organization anyway. My organization is better as a result of the ‘tools’ that BoS has provided to me.”

So, next week, once again, I’ll leave my country and travel to US for a week of meetings with a number companies in Silicon Valley. It will be some sort of “tour the force” but I’ll have the chance to talk with a lot of interesting people and hear about vision, strategies, ideas and products straight from the horse’s mouth!
Many of these companies are startups and they still don’t have a full-fledged presence in Europe, while others are well known brands and it will be very interesting to know how their vision and business is evolving.
Hereby you’ll find a complete list of the companies that I will visit:
A10 Networks – A small startup born in 2004, their mission is to provide innovative high performance networking and security solutions.
Arkeia – They produce backup solutions since 1996. In the past they were very focused on Linux but now they support more than 150 platforms.
Coraid – I wrote a story about them some weeks ago. Coraid makes interesting ethernet storage systems based on the AoE protocol.
i365 – This company, owned by Seagate, produces cloud based storage systems for SMB environments.
Librato – Librato develops software solutions to maximize the utilization of hardware and software assets in clouds and data centers.
Quantum – This is the biggest company I’m going to visit next week and It’s the most famous of the bunch. This company is living a big change in its life: from tape libraries manufacturer to a most comprehensive data protection/archiving solutions provider.
Solix – Solix Technologies is a provider of information lifecycle management and application testing solutions.
StorSimple – Produces a series of application-optimized cloud storage appliacnes for Microsoft Server applications (and now VMware).
zScaler – A security multi-tentant SaaS provider.

For banks — and especially for credit unions — the battle with Big Tech for the hearts, minds and wallet share of consumers may seem a more than challenging proposition.
After all, Big Tech’s role across all facets of everyday life is pervasive, touching on everything from commerce to search to social media to the actual devices in one’s hand (think Android and Apple) where banking services and products can be delivered.
In the report “How Top-Performing Credit Unions Innovate to Stay Competitive,” a collaboration between PYMNTS Intelligence and Velera, we found that even among top-performing credit unions (CUs), who have relatively high scores on membership satisfaction, a majority (at 56%) view Big Tech firms as key competitors. Overall, 28% of CUs say they compete with Big Tech companies.
There are, of course, signs that the competitive landscape will only get more competitive. As has been seen through the past several months, and as noted here, last year the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) sought to extend the same supervision to Big Tech firms that already is in place for banks and credit unions. The supervision would apply to companies that see volumes of more than 5 million transactions annually, which of course covers everyone from Apple to Amazon to Meta’s financial ambitions. All told, the CFPB’s rule-making would add 17 new entities to its purview, companies that facilitated about 12.8 billion transactions in 2021, with an estimated value of about $1.7 trillion, covering 88% of known transactions in the nonbank sector.
The tech firms have the critical mass that would seme to put the CUs at a disadvantage, particularly given the user level data — rendered in real time — that they possess.
If data is the gold, the oil, the … well, you name the precious commodity as metaphor here … underpinning banking services, it should be noted that last year we found 57% of consumers said they trusted banks to keep their credentials secure, edging out Big Tech players.
The traditional financial institutions (FIs) already are regulated, and have been regulated for decades, as they’ve sought to innovate, funding those innovations with the deposits already on the books. But for forwarding-thinking banks, specifically for credit unions, we’ve found in playbooks and interviews that two-thirds of CU members want more payment capabilities. The CUs that are putting time and effort into digital/omnichannel initiatives invest 13% more in payments innovation than bottom performers and benefit from 57% lower member churn, which conceivably blunts the movement of “churned customers” to Big Tech.
The banks themselves have insight into the payment behaviors and account usage that can help them take a proactive approach to keeping those members engaged. While Big Tech’s point of access is through the mobile device, the banks have the digital and in-branch settings to keep customers’ attention, and to offer loans and other services in data-driven context. |

DESIGN THINKING EDUCATION: FINDINGS FROM THE RESEARCH-LED, DESIGN, EVALUATION, AND ENHANCEMENT OF A UNIVERSITY-LEVEL COURSE
Auckland Institute of Technology (NEW ZEALAND)
About this paper:
Conference name: 10th annual International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation
Dates: 16-18 November, 2017
Location: Seville, Spain
Abstract:
Design thinking is an effective methodology for innovation and is an interdisciplinary area that is taught at an increasing number of tertiary institutions and universities. There is however, a relatively small but growing body of research on the learning and teaching of design thinking. Based on a desire to improve the learning and teaching of design thinking to first-year business students at a New Zealand university, and to use research as the means to achieve this goal, a rigorous research project was initiated. The research focused on the iterative design, evaluation, and enhancement of successive versions of a learning environment for design thinking - in this instance a 12-week course. Participatory action research, comparative case studies, and a critical realist theorizing methodology were used to help develop casual explanations i.e. the identification student attributes, and causal mechanisms and contextual factors within the learning environment, which helped account for students’ response to its activation. In turn, this led to the identification of potential enhancements to the learning environment.
This paper explores the background and emergence of design thinking, and its value within university-level business programmes, and provides a brief overview of the critical realist paradigm positioning and associated and methodologies that underpinned the research. The conceptualisation, design, and evaluation of a design thinking learning environment is described in detail, along with a critical examination of examples of findings concerning tendencies in the business students’ response to the environment. Tendencies include students’ overall apprehension before the course commenced, their struggle to adjust to an unfamiliar experiential, project-based learning approach in the first few weeks, and their challenge engaging with specific design thinking practices including roleplaying, problem-reframing teamwork and collaboration, which in this instance dominated their overall experiences of the learning environment. Examples of explanatory theory are also presented, along with a summary of key enhancements to the learning environment. We believe that findings of this research will be useful for other educators who are interested in teaching design thinking to business and other university students, and for the design of innovative and effective learning environments.Keywords:

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.

Company Blockchains LLC, co-owned by a millionaire Jeffrey Berns, bought over 67,000 acres in Northern Nevada in 2018. The plan is to build infrastructure including hotels, truck stops, and housing according to the latest technological achievements. This purchase is part of the project Innovation Zones. It aims at providing a space for innovation by employing advanced technology in real life. It wants to implement such solutions as “blockchain, autonomous technology, the internet of things, robotics, artificial intelligence, wireless technology, biometrics and renewable resource technology.”
Such projects may appear as lofty fantasies. It echoes projects of the past, which have not been well-received despite the promise of technological advancement. A nineteenth-century Illinois-located town built from scratch by an investor, George Pullman, did not appeal to the inhabitants despite being at the top of infrastructure innovation for that time. Many people moved out because they did not find activities and spaces resonating with their needs. The fact that they could not own property was also a disturbance.
The landlord business was criticized by activists. The President of the American Railway Union said in 1894 speech: “I believe a rich plunderer like Pullman is a greater felon than a poor thief, and it has become no small part of the duty of this organization to strip the mask of hypocrisy from the pretended philanthropist and show him to the world as an oppressor of labor…The paternalism of the Pullman is the same as the interest of a slaveholder in his human chattels. You are striking to avert slavery and degradation.”
Sidewalk Labs, a Google subsidiary, failed to implement its “smart city,” also called “Google city” in Toronto. The fears around privacy generated a backlash. The company withdrew abruptly in 2020.
Nevada project illustrates that technological elites’ appetite for control is growing. It seems that their increasing power makes them more audacious in their demands. Jeffrey Berns has contributed over 100,000 dollars to back the current Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak and its partisan family, the Democrats. An unprecedented proposal by the incumbent governor followed in February 2021. Sisolak proposed a bill that would cede much autonomy to investors who buy at least 50,000 acres and commit to spending one billion dollars on the project. In exchange, they would have a say in appointing a supervisory board over the territory and be given “the same authority as a county, including the ability to impose taxes, form school districts and justice courts and provide government services, to name a few duties.”
Past attempts may not have been successful because the affected citizens had too much autonomy. Accumulating control over this particular juridic zone’s residents may foster the dystopian agenda of the technological elites. COVID-19 has brought favorable conditions for such a plan. The recent pandemic has enabled even more concentration of capital. The dispossession and the spike of evictions among the vulnerable part of the population may lure them towards such projects as the antidote to homelessness. Technological unemployment deprives them of the power to withdraw labor to have a say over living conditions. A corporation possessing judicial authority may easily strip the residents of legal protections.
David Graeber wrote that society was at the brink of the end of capitalism. The new system may be worse than the current one, about which we tend to complain. I call this new system that is unfolding in front of us technoplutocorporatism. My book Imagine a Sane Society juxtaposes two kinds of utopias, driven either by the technological elites or citizen self-organization. The former type, such as the Innovation Zones project, may become laboratories filled with human guinea pigs. Without monetary exchanges, property rights, and the need to be employed, residents’ status may shift to innovation slave. They would not work as we conceive work in the employment system. However, they may be owned by the corporation.
With the advancement of research and innovation, laboratory rats and monkeys lose their utility for the furtherance of technology. The temptation to replace them with humans may become irresistible. Power corrupts. We can imagine that inhabitants immersed in controlled living conditions would bring opportunities to undertake studies impossible to implement before. Following the research methodology developed with animals, a corporation may manipulate the outer stimuli to conduct experiments and measure reactions. Data camps may emerge. They will constitute a new venue of post-capitalist exploitation and extractivism. |

The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed. - William Gibson
I recently interviewed Danella Yaptinchay for our series on Philippine Sales Leaders. Danella is head of Sales and Marketing at Bridge Southeast Asia, a leading provider of business technologies for Philippine companies.
I got to work Danella when we ran a course on entrepreneurship at the University of Asia and the Pacific a few years ago. It was the first attempt at running a Lean LaunchPad in the Philippines. Lean LaunchPad is the ground-breaking hands-on entrepreneurial program from the renowned author, entrepreneur and Stanford educator Steve Blank.
It turns out this involvement with the cutting edge is something habitual for Danella. There are many co-working spaces now, but a few years ago, you only had co.lab—which Danella co-founded—and a few others. In her new role at Bridge, she works with a team whose sales tech stack would not be out of place in a Silicon Valley startup.
Let me share some things I learned from Danella—both the innovative practices and the timeless sales principles she follows.
Content Marketing
Content Marketing has been one of the biggest buzzwords in online marketing for the past few years. At its root, though, it is as classical as any sales technique. Content marketing is about giving first before asking. It is about educating and earning trust first before closing.
Despite its simplicity, I have seen very few Philippine companies with an impressive execution of content marketing. Creating content requires deep knowledge of your audience, skill in content creation, and plain hard work. Distribution of content requires an understanding of the online platforms your audience reside in. It requires testing, measurement and iteration.
To me, only one Philippine company that comes to mind when it comes to content marketing: Full Suite, a provider of business services. They created content valuable for their target market—business owners—and had systematic content distribution and clear entrances to their sales funnel. Danella was and is their Managing Director. She shared that they worked with Spiralytics, one of the top digital agencies based in the Philippines but operating worldwide.
I have a couple of take-aways from this: 1) All seemingly new sales and marketing tactics are rooted in classic principles, rooted in human nature. 2) Paving a new path always has its rewards and risks. Like Danella, you would want to have a great team working with you.
Modern Prospecting
I have talked to hundreds of sales teams in the past few years. I'm from a generation that grew up with the web, so I'm always surprised how some B2B sales teams still brave the traffic of Metro Manila, and do cold door-to-door prospecting.
I have met Danella's sales team through The Science of Sales Philippines. They take full advantage of modern prospecting, mostly through Linkedin. Like most complex B2B selling in the Philippines, they still need to go to the field and build relationships face-to-face. However, they have greatly reduced the grind of reaching the right prospects and breaking that initial ice, using modern prospecting tools.
Sales Recruitment for a Generation Reared with American Idol
In the Philippines, and in many other countries, you still see the old churn-and-burn sales recruitment approach. Get a volume of applicants, throw them in the sales pit or the field, and just wait and see who sinks and who swims.
This is why I made a little fist-pump when I saw the first sales recruitment campaign clearly designed for the generation that grew up with Pilipinas Got Talent, The Ultimate Fighter, and The Voice. The poster appeared both in my Linkedin and Facebook streams. It was a well designed invitation to a sales bootcamp. It was obvious that the program would attract ambitious young people who want to master their craft. The bootcamp was also a clever entry point to a recruitment funnel. It is a beautiful win-win strategy: the participants get hands-on sales training, including those who will not convert into a recruit, and the company gets a self-selecting group that wants to take on challenges and continuously hone their skills.
Guess who was on that poster? Yep, Danella again, living in the future.

This year marks the five-year anniversary of the Global Fast Track Program in China, and to commemorate the successes of our program members, we held the Indiegogo 2021 GOGO Innovation Summit & Awards in Shenzhen, where we heard from thought leaders in the field and handed out Innovation Awards to the top campaigns of the year. Here’s how the 2021 GOGO Innovation Summit unfolded.
Dramatic campaign successes in 2020
Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible successes coming out of China from our Global Fast Track Program entrepreneurs. China-based campaigners of all types have used Indiegogo, — China’s number one crowdfunding platform — to kick off their product journey and launch on the global stage.
Global Fast Track Program campaigns have raised over $300 million (2 billion RMB) since the program’s inception, and 40 companies have gone on to raise at least $1 million (6.5 million RMB) for their products. The program also saw 40% year-over-year growth in China in 2020, a formidable achievement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many of Asia’s biggest brands have been behind these launches, introducing products, building communities, and getting feedback from backers in the global market. These brands include:

The potential for the adoption of AI and machine learning in Indonesia is wide open, especially with the improvement of digital infrastructure and government policies that encourage technological innovation. This digital transformation is expected to change the industrial landscape and the way companies operate, from the business sector to public services.
In the future, AI is expected to be more integrated into various aspects of daily life. For example, in the banking sector, AI technology will be used to personalize customer service and detect potential fraud faster. In the transportation sector, AI-powered autonomous vehicles will be a solution to reduce congestion and improve safety. Even in the government sector, AI can be utilized to increase the efficiency of public services and smarter data management.
However, the journey to a brighter future is also fraught with challenges. Issues such as uneven digital skills, data security, and AI ethics must be a primary concern. For the smooth adoption of AI and its positive impact, all parties, including the government, industry players, and the public, need to work together to create a safe, transparent, and sustainable technology ecosystem.
AI & machine learning innovations are driving rapid digital transformation. This technology offers more efficient, accurate, and personalized solutions in various sectors. With a promising future, AI and machine learning will continue to play a significant role in advancing industries in Indonesia.

calgary_tech_2022_10_18_how-calgary-is-fuelling-a-future-of-tech-and-entrepreneurship_ | innovation | SIMILARITY: 0.4645
Alberta is home to one of Canada’s largest technology and startup hubs. The Calgary region in particular breeds top-notch startups who receive substantial funding from a supportive local ecosystem.
For example, fintech fledging Fillip raised capital from Calgary neighbours Thin Air Labs and 51 Ventures before earning top prize at Digital Commerce Bank Calgary’s inaugural Calgary Fintech Awards.
From there? “Growth,” affirmed CEO Alice Reimer.
Reimer believes Alberta’s “innovation ecosystem is one that enables entrepreneurs to start, scale, stay, and succeed.” And she appears to be correct.
Despite a “notable impact” of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Alberta’s economy, the province’s digital economy “remained resilient and thrived,” concluded a recent report from the Information and Communications Technology Council of Canada. From February 2020 to May 2022, participation in Alberta’s digital economy grew by nearly 18%, according to the report—titled A Resilient Recovery: Alberta’s Digital-Led Post-COVID Future—and employed an additional 30,000 Albertans. This was well ahead of overall economy growth.
There are now more than 2,800 technology companies in Alberta as of last year, according to research from PwC. This is a massive increase from 2016, when just 1,500 were counted. In the first quarter of 2022, Alberta experienced its highest quarterly investment on record, according to data from the Canadian Venture Capital Association. Through Q1, more than two dozen companies—half of which were in the technology sector—raised a combined $466 million.
Al Del Degan, cofounder of New Idea Machine, a custom development and mentorship startup in Calgary, notes how there are currently 2,500 open tech jobs in Calgary alone. He says many positions, such as senior software developer, are simply in short supply.
To address this, learning experience organization InceptionU and software development company New Idea Machine recently initiated a partnership that will see InceptionU graduates begin working on real software projects, gaining valuable experience until they’re able to find full-time employment.
“Our partnership creates a ‘finishing school’ for junior developers,” Del Degan explains. “We know the longer a new developer works with NIM, the more likely they are to find a job.”
InceptionU CEO Margo Purcell says the partnership benefits “the entire tech ecosystem” of Calgary because “it’s a regenerative model.”
“It serves individuals as well as the tech ecosystem—the companies don’t have the bandwidth to continue to develop people and it benefits individuals because they have oversight to continue learning and they can earn a livelihood while looking for full-time work,” stated Purcell.
Meanwhile, major investments like the Province’s quantum physics hub further drive innovation and hiring in the region.
Calgary as Quantum City? This is the high-tech vision that ambitious locals such as University of Calgary president Ed McCauley have.
“We’re starting something big,” he believes.
No wonder outside firms like San Francisco’s Unity Technologies are drawn to the region. Earlier this year, the real-time 3D content company cut the ribbon on 25,000 square feet for the new Innovation Centre for Digital Transformation in Brookfield Place in Calgary.
Brad Parry, president and CEO of CED, predicted Unity’s investment would lead to other companies coming to Calgary’s downtown.
“It’s the hive effect,” he stated in March. “You get companies like Unity show up and then you start to get other companies that want to be around them and be close to them and build on top of their technology.”
Global tech consulting firm Infosys opened the Infosys Digital Centre in Calgary in September, promising up to 1,000 jobs over the next few years.
“We chose to open in Calgary because it is a center of tech excellence with rich IT talent and a strategic location that enables us to scale work with clients across key industries, such as energy, natural resources, and agriculture,” stated company president Ravi Kumar.
The Calgary Centre is located in Gulf Canada Square in the city’s downtown commercial district. It will train and up-skill Infosys and client employees in the technologies required to help Canadian businesses accelerate their digital transformation.
“Calgary’s IT innovation potential is unlimited,” added Kumar, “and we are delighted to be a part of its future.”
Even more recently, AI-powered order-to-cash platform Sidetrade announced an investment of $24 million across three years to develop a new North American headquarters in Calgary. For their offices, Sidetrade chose the Ampersand building in downtown Calgary, which is ranked among the Top 50 North American Markets for Tech Talent, and was recently revealed as the third best place in the world to live by Economist Intelligence.
“As our reputation for innovation grows, more companies like Sidetrade are recognizing the competitive advantage Calgary offers given our deep talent pool, our infrastructure, and the low cost of doing business,” Mayor Jyoti Gondek stated earlier this month.
The momentum of Calgary technology is a force to be reckoned with.

"The most exciting companies create. They give us new ways of living, thinking, or doing business, many times solving a problem we didn't know we had -- or a problem we didn't pay attention to because we never thought there was another way," explain the four authors of the dynamic new book, Play Bigger.
They add that, "the most exciting companies sell us different. They introduce the world to a new category of product or service." And, they become category kings. Examples of category kings are Amazon, Salesforce, Uber and IKEA.
Play Bigger is all about the strategy that builds category kings. And, to be a category king you need to be good at category design:
- Category design is the discipline of creating and developing a new market category, and conditioning the market so it will demand your solution and crown your company as its king.
- Category design is the opposite of "build it and they will come."
Key traits of category design, explain the authors, are:
- A strategy that starts with your CEO and his/her leadership team identifying the right category to create.
- A combination of both product and ecosystem design. A product that provides the solution to an urgent and giant problem. And an environment around that product that wins loyalty and gratitude for that product and your company.
- Being sure your category design is part of your company culture.
- Creating a powerful and provocative story that causes customers or users to make a choice. A story that evokes something different from what came before, not just better.
- A combination of marketing, public relations, and advertising all focused on conditioning the market to desire and need whatever you're giving it.
- Ensuring all of the above components work together, in lockstep, feeding off each other.
"Category design is a process. One thing leads to another and it builds on itself," explain the authors.
Play Bigger provides you the playbook you need to learn how to become a category king. It's essential for entrepreneurs wanting to change the landscape. And, a must-read for CEO's who want to reimagine their businesses.
As you read the playbook, you'll learn:
- Why it takes courage to build a category.
- What makes category king companies enduring and attractive to investors.
- How category kings have changed the way Venture Capitalists invest in new companies.
And, you'll learn the answers to these questions:

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.

Many of us have times when things are going good and we feel as if we are one with the universe its as if something magical is happening and even when we makes mistakes it somehow turns out right and this can go on every front of our lives and we feel happiness and then suddenly out of the clear blue sky that good and positive energy slips away and we try so hard to get it back but this bad spell in some cases can go on for years ,we try everything changinging ourselves , reading books ,seeking therapy and that's just to name a few but as I've mentioned bad energy can come from almost anything depending on the person in some cases it can even come down to an object you bought . I know and have heard of people leaving their homes because of bad energy and maybe you've heard that as well but all of this is not your imagination many cultures from all over the world believe and throughout history the spirit world has been a force to be reckoned with . if this kind of thing has been happening to you in your life for more than 3 years time do not isolate yourself and face this alone its good to seek help many people do and becoming more spiritual and practicing what you believe in is also helpful .

"Today's energy challenges are not insurmountable, but there are no silver bullets. Long-term progress requires balanced and integrated approaches that take advantage of all promising energy improvement pathways. Despite its superficial appeal, energy independence (the elimination of energy imports) is an unrealistic goal for the foreseeable future. But there is much we can do to enhance our energy security. Policies that promote new technologies, conservation, efficiency, greater diversity of supply, lower energy intensity, and greater access to domestic and global energy resources will over time reduce the nation’s vulnerability to upheavals in global energy markets."—Executive Summary.
"Started by Google and Intel in 2007, the Climate Savers Computing Initiative is a nonprofit group of eco-conscious consumers, businesses and conservation organizations. The Initiative was started in the spirit of WWF's Climate Savers program which has mobilized over a dozen companies since 1999 to cut carbon dioxide emissions, demonstrating that reducing emissions is good business. Our goal is to promote development, deployment and adoption of smart technologies that can both improve the efficiency of a computer's power delivery and reduce the energy consumed when the computer is in an inactive state....
"By 2010, we seek to reduce global CO2 emissions from the operation of computers by 54 million tons per year, equivalent to the annual output of 11 million cars or 10–20 coal-fired power plants. With your help, this effort will lead to a 50% reduction in power consumption by computers by 2010, and committed participants could collectively save $5.5 billion in energy costs."—What Exactly is the Climate Savers Computing Initiative?
Energy Information Administration (EIA), Annual Energy Review 2006 (Report No. DOE/EIA-0384(2006)) (June 27, 2007)
"The Annual Energy Review (AER) is the Energy Information Administration's primary report of historical annual energy statistics. For many series, data begin with the year 1949. Included are data on total energy production, consumption, and trade; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity, nuclear energy, renewable energy, international energy, as well as financial and environmental indicators; and data unit conversion tables."
"California is seizing new opportunities to protect our people and economy from the dangerous effects of global warming. In August 2006, the Legislature passed a package of bills to reduce California’s emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollution. The following month Governor Schwarzenegger signed the bills into law.
"Assembly Bill 32 makes California the first state in the country to limit statewide global warming pollution.
"Senate Bill 1368 makes California the first state in the nation to ensure that electric utilities' new commitments to power plants meet a minimum performance level for global warming pollution."—California Leadership.
The site promotes a "new energy economy" in response to global warming by providing, inter alia, fact sheets and other informational materials.
Kenneth P. Green, Steven F. Hayward & Kevin A. Hassett, American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI), Climate Change: Caps vs. Taxes, (Environmental Policy Outlook, no. 2) (June 1, 2007)
"As the Kyoto Protocol's 2012 expiration date draws near, a general theme dominates the global conversation: leadership and participation by the United States are critical to the success of whatever climate policy regime succeeds the Kyoto Protocol. Two general policy approaches stand out in the current discussion. The first is national and international greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trading, often referred to as 'cap-and-trade.' Cap-and-trade is the most popular idea at present, with several bills circulating in Congress to begin a cap-and-trade program of some kind. The second idea is a program of carbon-centered tax reform—for example, the imposition of an excise tax based on the carbon emissions of energy sources (such as coal, oil, and gasoline), offset by reductions in other taxes. In this paper we will address the strengths and weaknesses of both ideas and the framework by which legislators should evaluate them."—Abstract.
"When first established decades ago, most U.S. military installations were far from major cities and towns. That is no longer true. A growing population and changing land development patterns over the past several decades have led to lands that are vital to military readiness being surrounded by urban, suburban and other types of development. Such development, especially large residential tracts, can limit the installation’s operational capability. Complaints about noise, dust, and smoke from aircraft, weapons, and vehicles force commanders to curtail training of certain types or during certain hours. As development destroys or displaces native species of plants and animals, military posts become their critical refuge, and their presence further restricts military operations. These constraints have been so severe in some cases that installations have had to close.
"Recognizing the gravity of the problem, Congress provided legislative authority to allow military departments to partner with government or private organizations to establish buffer areas around training and testing areas. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) created the Conservation Partnering Program (now known as the Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI)2) to implement this authority. Under this program, OSD funds the Services to implement compatible land use partnering projects that aim to relieve encroachment pressures—from either incompatible development or loss of natural habitat—on training, testing, and support operations at U.S. military bases."—Summary.
Ken Peattie, Director, ESRC Centre for Business Relationships, Accountability, Sustainability and Society (BRASS), Cardiff University & Ben Shaw, Senior Research Fellow, Environment Group, Policy Studies Institute (PSI), Consumption: Reducing, Reusing and Recycling (Economic & Social Research Council, ESRC Seminar Series: Mapping the public policy landscape) (2007)
"Although recycling rates have risen, and the UK is on schedule to meet EU targets, the benefits risk being undermined by the sheer quantity of waste being generated.The economic and environmental impact is considerable. If household waste output continues to rise by three per cent a year, the cost to the economy will be £3.2billion and the amount of harmful methane emissions will double by 2020.
"The policy of the UK Government is to maintain economic growth without causing excessive environmental deterioration or social injustice. The sustainable development strategy was reviewed in 2005 along with a framework for its implementation by the devolved administrations in the context of their own priorities and problems. A new waste strategy for England is currently being finalised and is expected to be published in May. A sustainable consumption and production action plan has also been promised. The hope is that we are moving towards a package of measures—legal, fiscal and voluntary—that will deliver the kind of advanced strategies for products and waste seen in some other countries."—Executive Summary.
United States Environmental Protection Agency, Power Profiler (June 28, 2007)
"With just a few clicks of the mouse and a ZIP code, consumers can see how their individual energy use is affecting the Earth. EPA's Power Profiler calculates how much air pollution results from individual electricity use, the fuels used to produce that electricity and how to reduce the impact.
"'EPA's Power Profiler makes it easy to research the air emissions that come from using electricity at home,' said Bob Meyers, acting assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. 'All you need is a ZIP code and you're on your way to understanding your environmental impact.'"—Press release.
"The South Florida ecosystem covers about 18,000 square miles and is home to the Everglades, a national resource. Over the past 100 years, efforts to manage the flow of water through the ecosystem have jeopardized its health. In 2000, a strategy to restore the ecosystem was set; restoration was expected to take at least 40 years and cost $15.4 billion. The restoration comprises hundreds of projects, including 60 key projects known as the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), to be undertaken by a partnership of federal, state, local, and tribal governments."—Why GAO Did This Study.
"There are 27 primary mathematical models that guide the restoration effort. These include (1) hydrological, (2) water quality, and (3) ecological models. Although 21 of the 27 models are able to interface with other models and provide a more comprehensive pictureof the impact of restoration efforts on the ecosystem, many agency officials stated that additional interfaces are needed. Because coordinating the development of these interfaces is resource intensive, it has been a low priority for the agencies."—What GAO Found.
Home Depot has funded the planting of 300,000 trees in cities across the US. Each tree will absorb and store about one-third of a ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) over its lifetime. In addition to the coal plants that already exist, there are now 151 new conventional coal-fired power plants in various stages of development in the US today. The CO2 emissions from only one medium-sized (500 MW) coal-fired power plant, in just 10 days of operation, would negate the Home Depot’s entire effort.
Wal-Mart, the largest “private” purchaser of electricity in the world is investing a half billion dollars to reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of their existing buildings by 20% over the next 7 years. "As one of the largest companies in the world, with an expanding global presence, environmental problems are our problems," said CEO Lee Scott. The CO2 emissions from only one medium-sized coal-fired power plant, in just one month of operation each year, would negate Wal-Mart’s entire effort.
California, which makes up over 10% of the country’s new vehicle market, passed legislation to cut GHG emissions in new cars by 25% and in SUVs by 18%, starting in 2009. If every car and SUV sold in California in 2009 met this standard, the CO2 emissions from only one medium-sized coal-fired power plant, in just eight months of operation each year, would negate California’s 2009 effort.
In the US, approximately 5 billion square feet of residential, commercial and government buildings are renovated in a year. The US Conference of Mayors, American Institute of Architects, US Green Building Council and numerous states, counties and cities have adopted The 2030 Challenge to reduce the energy consumption of all renovated buildings by 50% (see www.architecture2030.org). The CO2 emissions from just one 750 MW coal-fired power plant each year would negate this entire 2030 Challenge effort.
If every household in the U.S. changed a 60-watt incandescent light bulb to a compact fluorescent, the CO2 emissions from just two medium-sized coal-fired power plants each year would negate this entire effort.
The Campus Climate Challenge (CCC), a growing student movement in the US, states that global warming “is our problem, and it’s up to us to solve it, starting right here on campus, right now.” The challenge calls for all high school and college campuses in the US to go carbon neutral (reduce global warming pollution to zero). If the challenge were met, the CO2 emissions from just four medium-sized coal-fired power plants each year would negate the CCC’s entire effort.
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a ‘cap and trade’ cooperative effort by eleven Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states (ME, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI, NY, PA, NJ, DL, MD) to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by 2014. The CO2 emissions from just 13 medium-sized coal-fired power plants each year would negate the entire RGGI effort.
Many climate change bills have been introduced in Congress this year to cap and begin reducing US greenhouse gas emissions, so any new coal-fired power plants work to negate these efforts.

We often think of technology as the latest shiny gadget some Silicon Valley company is trying to sell us. That’s because smartphones and computers get most of the marketing attention. But technology can change our day-to-day lives, and the fate of the planet we inhabit, in profound ways.
When it comes to innovations in energy, new technologies are introducing real changes how much energy it takes to power our world, and the ways in which we use it. Artificial intelligence is helping to decide the best times to use energy and new fuel sources are being developed to replace coal. With smart decision making, we can make huge strides in safeguarding the environment.
Here are four emerging technologies that are making our world more energy efficient:
It can be hard in a busy household to consciously save energy. We already have so many daily concerns to think about and sometimes saving energy isn’t a top priority. Plus, it can be hard to know what we really gain from doing so. It seems like utility bills get higher no matter what we do!
OhmConnect is an emerging service that makes it easy to want to save energy. Not only is it free to use, but you can actually get paid to use less power! Basically, you’ll receive a notification to reduce energy use for a short time—an event they call an OhmHour. During that time, you turn off your lights, adjust your thermostat, unplug electronic devices, and whatever else you can do to save energy. If you save enough energy to beat the energy goal they set for you, you’ll be rewarded with either prizes or cash. It’s a win for you and for our planet.
A number of companies are making it easier for homeowners and renters to save energy, without lifting a finger. OhmConnect users know that saving money is just a matter of flipping a switch. Now, energy-saving smart devices make that simple step even easier.
With smart thermostats, homeowners can control their heating and cooling while on vacation. They can program their smart lighting to turn off when they leave for work. Or their smart washing machine can monitor local energy usage and run loads during cheaper, off-peak hours.
Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant do more than let you check the weather or help you spell “Albuquerque.” These voice-commanded personal assistants can work as DIY central hubs to control and connect all your smart devices. Use them to program a smart sensor to turn your child’s bedroom light off every time they leave the room. Or connect a smart ceiling fan to your thermostat — a smart home hub can adjust both settings for maximum comfort at the lowest price. Plus, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of the couch!
And to tie #1 and #2 together - earning with OhmConnect is even easier with smart devices. Automate your #OhmHours by connecting your smart home device with your OhmConnect account. Once the #OhmHour begins, your smart devices will automatically shut off. No need to remember or, again, get off the couch. Instead, take a short nap while you save energy. You’ll make money while you sleep and help save the planet!
Even the electrical grid has raised its IQ.
Today’s power delivery system is more than power lines, substations, and transformers. It’s a complex, interconnected system that uses artificial intelligence and smart meters. Because the system is interconnected, your smart appliances can “talk” with the grid. They can share information about your current energy demand or the cost of energy per kilowatt. That lets you save energy or use it during off-peak hours.
Before the smart grid, the utility company’s job was easy — supply power to customers who bought it. Now, the relationship is more give-and-take. The smart grid adjusts to energy needs in real time. The grid can tell your dishwasher when it’s cheapest to run a wash cycle. It can change your thermostat up or down. The result is less energy waste.
The smart grid’s biggest benefit to preserving the planet is that it makes alternative energy sources available. There are times when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining. And when wind farms and solar panels can’t produce, utility companies must source less efficient and more costly energy sources like coal. But when clean energy is available, the smart grid can shift to renewables, always keeping them in the mix. That makes solar and wind power more reliable and readily available.
Every living creature produces energy. Plants turn sunlight and CO2 into energy. Animals turn plants and other animals into fuel for life. We mimic photosynthesis with solar panels. And we’ve figured out how to turn corn and animal waste into biofuels.
But what if we could shrink this natural energy producing process to the microscopic level? What if we could grow tiny organisms that eat electricity and poop out power? This isn’t science fiction. It’s already happening. And it’s called electrofuel.
Scientists and chemists are developing microscopic organisms that can take CO2 and water and make a biofuel. All that’s needed is a jolt of electricity to get the whole process going, and then the little bugs get busy. Several steps are required to convert the byproducts to a stable fuel. But once finished, the electrofuel is a clean energy source that consumes CO2 and releases oxygen just like photosynthesis. And the amount of electricity needed to produce electrofuel is shockingly low — so low it can be supplied by wind and solar power. That makes electrofuel a carbon-neutral source of energy.
Electrofuel organisms harness ten times more energy than plants during photosynthesis. And they use less land and fewer water resources. Today, government-sponsored research is developing an electrofuel that can power automobiles and airplanes.
It’s easy to fear the downsides of technology. But these four innovations offer positive changes in how we use energy now and how we might in the future. They give us the tools to make smarter decisions with minimal effort. They instill confidence that we can actually help preserve the planet for future generations.
