Small Is Beautiful #1: How Small Brands Are Making Sustainability Look Like It's No Swe... - 0 views

  • In this series of blogs I want to concentrate on the smaller, newer businesses that are paving the way for new systems, business models and ways of meeting customer and consumer needs. They’re challenging the old-school models, the ones wrapped up in years of investment (and success) that incumbents are beginning to re-think but are loathe to get rid of.

Is Your Brand Ready for Unleashed Workers? | Sustainable Brands - 0 views

    "Is Your Brand Ready for Unleashed Workers? by Marc Stoiber  |  keywords: articles, Computers/Electronics/Technology, Business Model Innovation, Employee Engagement, Environmental/Social Issues, Impact Reduction, Org Culture and Processes, Transportation/Logistics Tweet   Video conferencing, courtesy of GoToMeeting. | Image credit: Citrix October 1, 2012- A key element of futureproof brands is the ability to predict the needs of rapidly evolving consumers. This is easier said than done. In hindsight, Facebook makes sense. But few could've predicted the rise of a generation willing to share every intimate detail online. Telecommuting is a similarly cagey concept. For years, we've been trumpeting it as progress toward less pollution and time waste, and greater sustainability. But there's still little indication what this new world of stay-away workers will actually look like, what working anywhere actually means, and how brands will have to adapt to serve this new group. My interest in this area was sparked by a conversation with Kim DeCarlis, VP of Corporate Marketing at Citrix (the folks pushing the virtualization envelope with offerings such as GoTo Meeting). Although DeCarlis agrees it's early days, she believes there are indicators of what brands serving future telecommuters should think about. Hyper Personal Standardization in electronics is still de rigueur in most offices. As DeCarlis says, "Permutation and new gear is anathema to IT departments. Trying to make an office work - and people share information - when everyone has their own platform is an exercise in futility." Virtualization and the Cloud have changed the need for standardization. "I have a computer, tablet and phone that I bought for myself," says DeCarlis. "With virtualized functions like data, applications and desktops delivered via the cloud, my personal gear is 100% usable at work." So what does this mean for the unleashed workers of tomorrow

Why the World Need Hackers Now: The Link Between Open Source Development & Cu... - 0 views

  • the definition of ‘hackers’ are “having to do with technical adeptness & a delight in solving problems and overcoming limits,” and so ring true for anyone pursuing mastery in their chosen creative expression… musicians, artists, athletes, scientists, etc)
  • It seems to be the same disposition among the communities of people talking about intentional lifestyle design – those that want “work” and “life” to not suggest two worlds out of alignment, but rather are working to create a consistent underlying culture that allows each person to bring their gifts and strengths forward regardless of social context.
  • Culture hackers want to define the social agreements and communication protocols most likely to lead to human fulfillment, creativity and happiness…. then build the new socioeconomic systems upon that life-enhancing infrastructure.

  • “When you start community-building, what you need to be able to present is a plausible promise. Your program doesn’t have to work particularly well. It can be crude, buggy, incomplete, and poorly documented. What it must not fail to do is (a) run, and (b) convince potential co-developers that it can be evolved into something really neat in the foreseeable future.”
