Philip Evans: How data will transform business

We hear a lot about data, and data analytics, but are we paying attention? Many think this jargon may be akin to statistics and demographics, but it something more.

Philip Evans gives a compelling TED Talk presentation about how we are being pushed out of the institutional value system that we are used to using. As distribution costs and transaction costs become significantly lower, this impacts business at its core. Going from vertical to a horizontal structure, we are moving away from the corporate scale. And we need to take notice.

“You are here to change lives.”

By |June 4th, 2014|

Customers already look at products and services based on value. Both the value they receive and the values (with an “s”) that your company holds. Customers pay attention to a business’ philosophy, ethical reputation, and value system. And guess what? Financiers (banks, investors) and potential partners will start looking at this too. This is a great opportunity for all of us. We can grow, be successful, and become profitable by being responsible. It is now part of the formula.

He then explains how a fourth segment of Growth is emerging: Responsible.

Scott Dinsmore: How To Find And Do Work You Love

80% of people hate their job, yet do nothing to improve their situation. Scott Dinsmore makes a compelling case on How To Find And Do Work You Love. From becoming a self-expert, to doing to the impossible, to surrounding yourself with the right people, Scott will motivate and excite you with this brief TED Talk presentation.

“There’s two reasons why people don’t do things, one is because they tell themselves that they can’t do them, and the other is that people around them tell them they can’t do it. Either way we start to believe it. Either we give up or we never start in the first place. The thing is, that everything was impossible until somebody did it.” – Scott Dinsmore

Spurlock, Sponsorship, Possibilities

Spurlock, Sponsorship, Possibilities

I realize that we over-dose on TED talks around here – and I know that makes us a little corny and embarrassingly trendy. But, with that being said, I must alert you to Morgan Spurlock’s new movie: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. The movie apparently delves into the under current of brand sponsorship and everything that comes with that, and has some ironic twists regarding how the movie itself was sponsored. In fun-Spurlock-fashion, this TED talk is also sponsored in a unique way.

Beyond the obvious “get me thinking about how sponsorships negatively or positively influence a project” – this video also inspired me to think about all of the opportunities that exist for funding a project. Sponsorships, corporate funding, partnerships, grants – there are so many possibilities.
