Weber Shandwick hat sich wieder mit Spencer Stuart zusammen getan und The Rising CCO V veröffentlicht. Diese Studie, die in diesem Jahr in die fünfte Runde geht, untersucht die Erwartungshaltungen von Chief Communications Officers (kurz: CCOs) in Nordamerika, Europa, Lateinamerika und im asiatisch-pazifischen Raum, wie sich ihre Aufgaben und Arbeitsbereiche durch die immer weitere digitalisierte und von Medien zunehmend fragmentierte Welt ändern.
Unsere Rising CCO Studie zeigt, dass CCOs zum einen immer öfter auch digitale und soziale Medien in ihrer Abteilung verantworten müssen, und zum anderen Digital und Social-Media-Experten einstellen müssen, um dem Aufkommen gewahr zu werden. Genauer gesagt hat Social Media den größten Einfluss auf die Arbeit der CCOs. So gaben 91 Prozent der CCOs an, dass sie in Social Media die beste Zukunft sehen, wenn es um wichtige Kommunikationsinstrumente geht.
Die Studie zeigt weiterhin auf, dass CCOs traditionelle und soziale Medien für verschiedene Zwecke nutzen und die Wirksamkeit durch die Integration beider Medienarten in unterschiedliche Kommunikationsaktivitäten erhöht wird. Hier sollten die CCOs die Gelegenheit nutzen, zu verstehen, wann was strategisch am besten genutzt wird.

Death and transfiguration
The golden age of the Western corporation may be coming to an end
Sep 19th 2015 | From the print edition
·
EDWARD GIBBON, the great English historian, begins his “Decline and Fall” with a glowing portrait of the Roman Empire in the age of Augustus. The Empire “comprehended the fairest part of the earth”. Rome’s enemies were kept at bay by “ancient renown and disciplined valour”. Citizens “enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury”. Alas, this happy state of affairs was not to last: the Empire already contained the seeds of its own destruction. Gibbon soon changed gear from celebrating triumphs to chronicling disasters.
Perhaps the history of the Western corporation will one day be written in much the same vein. Today’s corporate empires comprehend every corner of the earth. They battle their rivals with legions of highly trained managers. They keep local politicians in line with a promise of an investment here or a job as a consultant there. The biggest companies enjoy resources that have seldom been equalled; Apple, for instance, is sitting on a cash pile of more than $200 billion. And they provide their senior managers and leading investors with “wealth and luxury” that would have impressed even the most jaundiced Roman.
A new report by the McKinsey Global Institute provides some invaluable statistics for any future Gibbon, which MGI calculated by crunching data from nearly 30,000 firms across the world. Corporate profits more than tripled in 1980-2013, rising from 7.6% of global GDP to 10%, of which Western companies captured more than two-thirds. The after-tax profits of American firms are at their highest level as a share of national income since 1929.
Yet the men and women from McKinsey change gear as quickly as Gibbon. The golden age of the Western corporation, they argue, was the product of two benign developments: the globalisation of markets and, as a result, the reduction of costs. The global labour force has expanded by some 1.2 billion since 1980, with the new workers largely coming from emerging economies. Corporate-tax rates across the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, have fallen by as much as half in that period. And the price of most commodities is down in real terms.
Now a more difficult era is beginning. More than twice as many multinationals are operating today as in 1990, making for more competition. Margins are being squeezed and the volatility of profits is growing. The average variance in returns to capital for North American firms is more than 60% higher today than it was in 1965-1980. MGI predicts that corporate profits may fall from 10% of global GDP to about 8% in a decade’s time.
Two things in particular are shaking up the comfortable world of the old imperial multinationals. The first is the rise of emerging-market competitors. The share of Fortune500 companies based in emerging markets has increased from 5% in 1980-2000 to 26% today. These firms are expa.

Conclusion
3 The last pit stop? Time for bold late-cycle moves
A decade on from the global financial
crisis, signs that the banking industry has
entered the late phase of the economic
cycle are clear: growth in volumes and
top-line revenues is slowing with loan
growth of just four percent in 2018—the
lowest in the past five years and a good
150 basis points below nominal GDP
growth. Yield curves are also flattening.
And, though valuations fluctuate, investor
confidence in banks is weakening
once again.
Industry veterans have been through
a few of these cycles before. But,
notwithstanding the academic literature,1
this one seems different. Global return
on tangible equity (ROTE) has flatlined
at 10.5 percent, despite a small rise in
rates in 2018. Emerging market banks
have seen ROTEs decline steeply, from
20 percent in 2013 to 14.1 percent in
2018, due largely to digital disruption that
continues unabated. Banks in developed
markets have strengthened productivity
and managed risk costs, lifting ROTE
from 6.8 percent to 8.9 percent. But on
balance, the global industry approaches
the end of the cycle in less than ideal
health with nearly 60 percent of banks
printing returns below the cost of equity. A
prolonged economic slowdown with low or
even negative interest rates could wreak
further havoc.
What explains the difference between
the 40 percent of banks that create
value and the 60 percent that
destroy it? In short, geography, scale,
differentiation, and business model.
1 Carmen M. Reinhart and Kenneth S. Rogoff, This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly,
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2009.
On the first, we find that the domicile
of a bank explains nearly 70 percent
of underlying valuations. Consider the
United States, where banks earn nearly
ten percentage points more in returns
than European banks do, implying
starkly different environments. Then
comes scale. Our research confirms that
scale in banking, as in most industries,
is generally correlated with stronger
returns. Be it scale across a country, a
region, or a client segment. Having said
that, there are still small banks with niche
propositions out there generating strong
returns, but these are more the exception
than the rule. Underlying constraints of
a business model also have a significant
role to play. Take the case of broker
dealers in the securities industry, where
margins and volumes have been down
sharply in this cycle. A scale leader in the
right geography as a broker dealer still
doesn’t earn cost of capital.
Domicile is mostly out of a bank’s control.

By many standard measures, globalization is in retreat [1]. The 2008 financial crisis and the
ensuing recession brought an end to three decades of rapid growth in the trade of goods and
services. Cross-border financial flows have fallen by two-thirds. In many countries that have
traditionally championed globalization, including the United States and the United Kingdom, the
political conversation about trade has shifted from a focus on economic benefits to concerns
about job loss, dislocation, deindustrialization, and inequality [2]. A once solid consensus that
trade is a win-win proposition has given way to zero-sum thinking and calls for higher barriers.
Since November 2008, according to the research group Global Trade Alert, the G-20 countries
have implemented more than 6,600 protectionist measures.
But that’s only part of the story. Even as its detractors erect new impediments and walk away
from free-trade agreements, globalization is in fact continuing its forward march—but along new
paths. In its previous incarnation, it was trade-based and Western-led. Today, globalization is
being driven by digital technology and is increasingly led by China and other emerging
economies. While trade predicated on global supply chains that take advantage of cheap labor is
slowing, new digital technologies mean that more actors can participate in cross-border
transactions than ever before, from small businesses to multinational corporations. And
economic leadership is shifting east and south, as the United States turns inward and the EU and
the United Kingdom negotiate a divorce [3].

In other words, globalization has not given way to deglobalization; it has simply entered a
different phase. This new era will bring economic and societal benefits, boosting innovation and
productivity, offering people unprecedented (and often free) access to information, and linking
consumers and suppliers across the world. But it will also be disruptive. After certain sectors fade
away, certain jobs will disappear, and n ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
