  • Because no one chooses to be a refugee. Refugees are refugees because the alternative used to be death. Now, there’s a worse option: a living death.

    Queen Rania of Jordan writes a blistering and heartfelt analysis of the many "deaths" that refugees experience deciding whether to leave their homes, trying to leave their country, then arriving in new "haven" countries that don't want them and threaten to send them back to their home country.

  • HP won't be the first company to host a completely virtual shareholder meeting, but it may very well be the largest.
  • In 2011, just 21 companies used Broadridge Financial Solutions, a primary provider of online shareholder meeting technology, to hold virtual-only meetings. By 2014, that number had grown to 53.
  • Big companies, including Intel and Microsoft, have hosted what's known as hybrid meetings, in which a physical event is held but investors can also "attend" online.

  • (While many companies now webcast their meetings, that only allows shareholders to view the event, not participate in it.)
  • Also, unlike many companies that only use audio for their online meetings, HP will broadcast video of CEO Whitman and the company's meeting participants.
  • because the question-and-answer session during regular meetings is often limited, online meetings could actually expand the number of questions that get asked.

  • Westergren: The best piece of advice I ever got was from my wife, which was “Don’t be self-conscious about being an entrepreneur.” I think most successful companies go through some kind of trial by fire. During that time, you’re borrowing — you’re borrowing people’s time, you’re borrowing goodwill, you’re borrowing money. You’re begging and borrowing. And that can begin to make you feel self-conscious, feel like you’re failing or that you’re a leech.

    interview by J. D. Harrison on 2/6/2015 with with Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora. Their business model--"a series of lily pads to keep them afloat"--took them about four years to develop to finally point it toward individual consumers to start using Pandora. The rest is history and a lot of money!

  • BMW and Toyota have collaborated in the area of sharing costs and knowledge for electric car battery research, despite the fact that both compete in the luxury car segment. In fact, they have a history of collaborating with each other.
  • Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded a collaborative research consortium comprised of investigators around the world in order to speed up HIV vaccine development.
  • Be clear about what you are collaborating on. Set boundaries for collaboration at the beginning.Have a limited and well-defined purpose for the collaboration.Be clear about use and ownership of existing and jointly-created intellectual property.Depending on the situation, you may need to involve legal counsel. Collaborating with other firms, even competitors, may be what is needed to help both parties advance and improve. Be open to the possibilities, yet clear about the boundaries.

  • The conference was organized around sharing best practices with universities around the world — that is, sharing best practices with our competitors. It’s amazing to hear specifics on what schools are doing to help executive MBA students through career services, tailored content or leadership skills training, among other things. What’s even more remarkable is that people genuinely share details about their programs in an effort to help other schools improve their programs.
