This document analyzes the author's past and present romantic relationships using a BCG matrix format. It summarizes that the author's current relationship ranks highly compared to other relationships but that awareness of the relationship is low. Charts show the relationship has strong physical characteristics but some incompatibility in personal interests like sex and shopping. While some friends have positive reactions, the current girlfriend feels her needs are not being met and says she plans to end the relationship.
The Fourth Annual Global Mobility Study [hyperlink] by L.E.K. Consulting, Vision Mobility and CuriosityCX highlights that there is a much greater uptake of ride-hailing and other new mobility options in India and China than in mature western economies. With relatively low levels of car ownership and less developed public transport systems in these Asian countries, new mobility use is now comparable with and set to overtake traditional transport for a segment of the population.
Since last year ended on such a strong note, many of us were optimistic about the prospects for Q1. Though not as strong as the fourth quarter of 2014, the first quarter of 2015 kicked off on a positive note, with 23 technology companies raising US$6.1billion* in proceeds from their IPOs. That’s the second highest first quarter proceeds in the past five years and impressive given the increased US market volatility and consistent with the high pre-IPO valuations we’ve seen recently. Granted, if you look at the year over year comparison, offerings were down 12% and proceeds declined 11%. And sequentially, the number of technology IPOs declined 32% while proceeds fell by 19%. Still, it’s a promising start for 2015. Learn more at www.pwc.com/globaltechipo

Top 8 Insights From the 2018 Beauty, Health & Wellness SurveyL.E.K. Consulting
Think nutritional supplements and skincare are of interest only to consumers of a certain age? Think again. According to L.E.K. Consulting’s third installment of a biennial survey of the healthy living marketplace, this one focusing on nutrition and skincare, some 80% of health and wellness (H&W) consumers across generations — from millennials to baby boomers — are highly engaged with both categories.
The survey captured insights from more than 1,600 respondents, representing roughly 77% of the U.S. adult population who identify with H&W themes, and generated eight key insights across categories. Together these insights make clear that consumer interest in nutritional supplements and skincare often lasts a lifetime.

MAPS2018 Keynote address on EY report: Life Sciences 4.0 – Securing value thr...EY
Summary: This keynote address presented by Pamela Spence, EY Global Life Sciences Leader (pspence2@uk.ey.com) at MAPS 2018 – the annual meeting for Medical Affairs Professional Society – discusses our latest life sciences report and the industry demands for a customer-focused, data driven approach to health care. We describe the accelerating pace of change as technological advances and the escalating expectations of payers, physicians and patient consumers are combining to disrupt the life sciences business model. Data and algorithms that maximize health outcomes based on individual needs and preferences are becoming the ultimate health care consumable. To create value now and in a future that we call Life Sciences 4.0, life sciences companies must build – or participate in – interoperable information systems that collect, combine and share data.

Harnessing the Power of Entrepreneurs to Open Innovationaccenture
Entrepreneurs and startups are crucial to economic growth and job creation. Yet despite the mythology that has built up around the disruptive power of startups, the overwhelming majority need to leverage the market presence and scale of larger, established enterprises if they are to be truly successful. Meanwhile, large companies are feeling pressure to innovate and become more entrepreneurial, yet find their culture and structures getting in the way. Large companies and entrepreneurs need to collaborate more effectively and take a journey towards more Open Innovation. But how?
