Co-founders and Startups: What Makes a Successful Team?Mike Chan
The document discusses factors that contribute to successful startup teams. It finds that the right team is critical for success and the greatest source of failure is problems within the founding team. Key factors for an effective team include properly defining roles and responsibilities, aligning on the vision for the business, and fairly distributing equity and rewards. While friends or co-workers often make good co-founders, the most important attributes are complementary skills, clear expectations, and formal agreements between partners.
Laicos is a technology Startup Studio led by Ryan Negri and Kyle Matthews. With 20 years combined operational and startup experience, Negri and Matthews want to shape the up-and-coming startup ecosystem of Tampa, Florida, developing their own ideas to create a new tech hub of innovation and entrepreneurship.
A “Startup Studio” is a structure whose aim is to repeatedly build products into companies. Thanks to its infrastructure and resources, a startup studio increase a product’s chance of success and optimize its creation and growth.
The difference between incubators/accelerators and Startup Studios is the vested human capital involved around an idea. At the core of the startups studio model are dedicated teams helping business ideas develop into beautiful products and successful companies.
Laicos’ flagship inaugural product, Fuse, is a social media management platform for the consumers and power users, with a simple price model and a clean and attractive UI. In addition, Laicos is developing four additional products: BusFinder, currently in beta version, an app utilizing data from the Tampa Public Transportation System; $1Market, to offer many different services to users for $1 dollar/mo, Order to Seat, for fans to order food to their seat while at a stadium or arena, and FoodStops, a food truck tracking app for consumers and marketing platform for vendors. In 20I7, we plan to work with other founders to help turn their ideas into reality.

Culture in silicon valley hf 12_november2012Alena Kalibaba
Gigi Wang is a Taiwanese-American entrepreneur and managing partner of MG-Team LLC. She discussed key factors that contribute to Silicon Valley's culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, including trust, risk-taking, collaboration, integrity, accessibility, and constructive feedback. She emphasized developing the right innovative culture through openness, empowerment, and sharing wealth. Innovation requires understanding customer needs, conceptualizing ideas, collecting feedback, and iterating. Leaders should promote innovation through processes and championing new ideas.
The document discusses designing adaptive careers. It suggests that when deciding if a personnel change is needed, organizations tend to only look at past poor performance, but the right time is when looking at future strategic and cultural fit. It also discusses that the human brain has not significantly changed in 10,000 years but jobs have, and building teams requires complementary skills not just similarity. Knowledge work can have a much larger variation in individual productivity than assembly line work. The document advocates developing talent through identifying strengths and areas for improvement through activities like stay interviews and regular career development discussions.
Five Trends in Management to follow during 2016Interbrand
1) IT departments are shifting from a support role to a strategic business unit focused on innovation and competitive advantage. More IT managers are obtaining executive leadership positions.
2) Innovation requires significant resources but must be focused and aligned with organizational goals to be successful rather than just an artistic exercise.
3) Delivery of technology is key for IT departments but must be balanced with agility to adapt to a company's culture and ways of working. Agile methods should enhance performance, not hinder it.

As I have recently included some new content in my presentations and sessions, I would like to share these insights with you in the form of an updated presentation deck. Here, I focus on the the following views and messages:
- A general state of innovation and what you need to know about it these days
- What open innovation is and how it is relevant in the context of big companies and SME´s and startups
- What it takes to be successful with innovation today as an individual and as a team
When I give talks and sessions, I draw upon a comprehensive set of content which you can look further at www.innovationupgrade.com.
We tend to think of “innovation” in terms of new technology – gadgets, hardware, new apps, and software. But true innovation more often comes in the form of new business models, workflows, service offerings, and office and staffing patterns. This session will center on those innovations that are significantly impacting our firms and our clients. You never know where innovation might sprout!

Anne Carullo is the SVP of Corporate Product Innovation at Estée Lauder. She discusses how Estée Lauder innovates differently than other companies by having a Product Development team that works across brands and focuses on both exploratory concepts and driving existing product development. She emphasizes the importance of building an infrastructure that supports innovation through resources, flexibility, and recruiting diverse talent. Carullo believes that maintaining a pipeline of 5-8 in-development ideas is key to a healthy innovation program. While consumer feedback is important, she also believes in pursuing "high concept" ideas that test poorly but could be big successes. Carullo advises looking to other industries for inspiration and starting small with innovation efforts

Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
