doitmarketing doit-marketing Teaching Sells - Building a Profitable Online Business: What Works (And What Doesn’t) in 2012.
Isn’t it time we quit talking about making money online? When you look at what Amazon, iTunes, Google, Facebook are doing ... as well as countless e-learning and other technology companies (with more showing up every day), it’s pretty obvious that it’s not >making money online< any more.
It’s just making money in the world we live in.
If you’re looking for another one of those >business in a box< solutions, you should close this report now. Because Teaching Sells isn’t a “money-getting system.” It’s a framework to create a real-world business.
We are in a critical time of history. What worked yesterday does not necessarily work today. It’s been proven that
organizations fail when they over-invest in “what is” instead of “what could be.” But why? Truth is, every organization is
successful until it’s not – and there’s only one sure-fire way to protect yourself from it happening to you, re-inventing yourself
destructing. The time of just showing up and doing your job is over. As Gary Hamel states, “Average is officially over because
every employer today has the means much more quickly, cheaply, and easily available to take you out.” That said, a new
breed of worker and leader is now required in the world today. People who are creative, able to communicate and can adapt
on the fly are indispensable. Our ancestors proved that you can shift from one system (agricultural) to another (industrial) as
long as you’re willing to change. So ask yourself, can you adapt?
The present work aims at debating and discussing an analysis about the current concept of “Product” to “Intelligent Product ” (IP), capable of satisfying the evolutionary desires of customers and, at the same time, of achieving a sustainable business model for companies in a framework of ongoing value creation.
It is about concept and reference, aiming at fostering brainstorming to contribute to better decision making.
This IP (object, not subject) is a value proposition which represents a commitment to providing a set of attributes to the expectations of someone (subject, not object) who, in turn, will be willing to exchange something for it.
IP is an experience whose best attribute is its ability to remain in time. However, for this to happen, products will have to be conceived out from people’s everyday life, not from abstract theories. Therefore, we must learn how to read into people’s everyday lives. We must build up the satisfier from costumers´ experience, from their surrounding world. We must think from an interdependent point of view -where there are factors related to customers’ feelings, idiosyncrasy, relationships and communities-, stepping aside, at least for a moment, from abstract theories.
“With abstract theories we tend to get borders so close to us that if we took them seriously, it wouldn’t be worth living in this world”
We must explore new universes which are much closer than we think. We must only go for them, and expand our narrow vision, which keeps us from “watching”. Expand this shortness which keeps us from understanding, and, consequently, prevents us from taking action, getting control. We are limited at understanding, surveying, exploring, assessing; we work and make decisions based on abstract models which can only be conveyed on a piece of paper; we must learn how to train and believe in our own critical and creative thinking. Only that will enable us to take in information and turn it into knowledge, and be innovative enough to consequently deliver a satisfier other than a cheap imitation.
This ebook compiles awesome outtakes from SXSW2015. Written by @Briansolis and illustrated by @gapingvoid, it captures why you should be very sorry you failed to get to Austin this year:)
This is another in our series of ebooks that can make your ideas come alive.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Creating a Healthy Digital Culture: How empathy can change our organizationsDomain7
We often think of empathy as an abstract, emotional concept, maybe even see it as a weakness in an organizational context.
