Business with a purpose: Building sustainable business modelsPatrick Stähler
What is the purpose of a business? If you think it is earning money, think again. Where is the money coming from? The money comes from paying customers and therefore the main task of a company is to create customers as Peter Drucker once said.

Thoughts on open innovation sandro morghen yutongoSandro Morghen
English version of my observations and conclusions on Open Innovation.
Presented at Hochschule Lucerne, Switzerland on Ocotober 3rd, 2012.
Interesting questions from students were:
Question: Why do you pay innovators for their time/effort rather than to follow the winner takes it all approach? What if people performe weak in a process?
Answer: Because in our process it is not possible to allocate one single author to an idea. The creative content is based on our process setup, a collective result. This is why we pay everybody equally. We don't see Innovation as a game/contest, we see it rather as a form of crowd labour. Being is hard work and it doesn't take a genius. Based on the fact that all innovators answer a whole set of subquestions throughout the process, we can diffuse the risk of receiving bad content from one person. After all, it's just not fair. In our tests we weren't facing quality issues, but of course, had to deal with people who were trying to misuse the system. However, this issue remains manageable with our platform and approach. In our tests we measured about 5% of participants who tried to add random/sabotage content. We are very convinced that we can bring this number with the right quality management tools.
>>>
Question: Are you already online?
Answer: We have a functional prototype which is online but we are going to take it down as we are finalizing our commercial version of yutongo.
>>>
Question: Are you giving support to customers with setting up a project?
Answer: Not in a consulting sense. But the app is based on a step-by-step process and we put all our strength and own creativity in reducing complexitiy and the self explanatory character of the website. You shouldn't be an expert to setup a project with yutongo.
>>>
And a bunch of more questions I unfortunately can't remember. Thanks Hochschule Lucerne for having me and for asking questions. Asking question is very good advisor if you are planning to be creative. Creativity starts with asking the right questions!
Best!
Sandro Morghen, CEO & Co-Founder of yutongo

* AFTER they help Idaho, of course... ;)
Idaho passed draconian legislation enabling excessive enforcement on noncompetes in 2017 - we got made fun of (see slide 12) but in 2018, Senate Bill S1287aa is moving things back but it could go farther --assuming we want to increase job creation. (Job mobility is essential to business dynamism; business dynamism is essential to job creation (& GDP, innovation, etc.)

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

alternatives there
