Open letter to all general counsel for diversity and inclusionIsabelleGulliver
This open letter from female founders of legal services businesses expresses concern about how the coronavirus crisis could negatively impact diversity and inclusion in the legal sector. It notes that many small businesses and female-founded startups have seen large drops in sales and funding due to the pandemic. If large law firms only turn to traditional, perceived-as-less-risky suppliers during the crisis, it could reverse progress toward a more diverse and innovative market. The letter asks general counsels to consider the long-term benefits of maintaining supplier diversity when making procurement decisions, and to support women-owned businesses specifically. It provides actions they can take like keeping communication open and including diverse suppliers in new solution searches.
Corporates need to address new realitiesGregg Barrett
Corporate executives failed to properly manage risk and consider stakeholders during times of economic prosperity, leading to a loss of trust. Businesses must introduce simple and transparent risk management processes that promote accountability and responsibility at all levels. IBM's "Balanced Business Decisions" approach required considering impacts, risk mitigation strategies, and potential press coverage of initiatives. Restoring credibility requires de-mystifying risk, ensuring all employees understand their risk responsibilities, and applying equal accountability from the top down. Corporate governance should consider more than just market levels and transcend temporary behaviors.
Insights into the Legal Industry and how SCA listeners use its services
People prefer smaller private law firms due to a perception of receiving more personalized service. Word of mouth is the primary factor influencing selection of a firm, with reputation and costs also being very important. While most experiences with law firms are positive if the issue is resolved, simply "getting the job done" is not enough - clients want to feel understood. Nearly 1 in 3 people have been in a situation warranting legal action but did not pursue it due to barriers like expense, hassle, and not feeling supported. There is an opportunity for firms to overcome these barriers and provide exceptional client care.

Speaker 7: Daniel Joerg of Burson-Marsteller Switzerland. New Corporate Communication thinking: Why Corporations should stop talking to target groups and start creating dialogues with stakeholder groups
The document discusses how corporations should shift from one-way communication to target groups to engaging in dialogues with stakeholder groups. It argues that with the rise of social media, consumers have more control over brands and participate in shaping them. Companies must focus on building trust and relationships rather than just transactions. By participating in online conversations, companies can influence and have their messages amplified, rather than just trying to control messages. However, they also risk irrelevance if they do not engage stakeholders where conversations are already happening.

It is very important to take the time to fully research many brokerages in ones area as it can have long lasting effects on a sales agent's career. When speaking to other agents I have been told to shop the most compatible corporate culture for myself as they can vary greatly. The broker you choose to work for will be more than your boss, they need to be your best friend and partner. They are the person who will have your back when things go less than perfect so you need to be able to trust them fully.
An agent shopping for a brokerage should take many things into consideration. The office itself should be measured. Is it in a desirable and easy to access location? Is it visually pleasing and is there ample parking? The other agents working for the brokerage should be diverse in experience. Does the brokerage offer marketing services? What kind of desk fees do they charge and what is the beginning commission split. They should have a visually pleasing web page that is easy to navigate. They should also have a good reputation in the community.
I have actually interviewed at two different brokerages so far and both were very reputable and offered great things for their agents. A big selling point for me was the type of support and education they offer to new agents. I wanted to know if they offer a post-license course or if I would have to take it online. I also asked if they offer a mentor program which both did. The biggest difference in the companies was commission split and diversity of agents. One offered a much larger commission split but had a much larger ratio of new inexperienced agent to experienced agent ratio. There were about 4 agents out of 5 with less that a year of experience. I felt I would prefer the office with more experienced agents and a lower commission split as a new agent as I can always earn more with a more secure base of experience behind me.

So many things changed when the world of the internet happened, let alone when social media took off.

When I talk about it being cheaper than it is more of the idea that you are getting more for the money you are spending.

J De Filippo CIO_Why buying from small businesses offers big advantages July ...James De Filippo
There are several advantages to large organizations buying from small businesses rather than just large corporations. Small businesses account for 99% of all businesses and 41% of private sector payroll in the US. Buying from small and diverse businesses can help large companies meet social responsibility and diversity goals. Small businesses may also have deeper understanding of particular industries compared to larger corporations. While small businesses pose greater financial and operational risks, those risks can be mitigated and small businesses may grow into larger suppliers over time. Large companies can find small innovative suppliers through reports, conferences, and industry associations.

This document provides an overview of a collection of research articles on leading in the digital era. It discusses the challenges of digital transformation for companies and outlines six qualities of digitally mature organizations based on insights from over 1,700 business leaders.

The document discusses how law firms are using social media for marketing, recruiting, and client support. It provides statistics on law firm adoption of social media profiles and content creation. While most firms have social media presences, they are not fully engaging with clients and communities online. Firms cite concerns over client confidentiality and difficulty controlling social media as reasons for this disconnect. The document advocates for firms to practice "corporate journalism" by sharing compelling stories online in order to build their brands and demonstrate thought leadership, and to fully integrate this content marketing with social media engagement.
The document discusses how attrition, or employee turnover, is a silent but significant threat to businesses. It costs businesses thousands or millions each year in lost talent, productivity, and knowledge. However, few businesses properly measure and address attrition.

5. It's been a rule of business for generations that most companies assume they are in a struggle. They assume their interests are different from the rest of their environment's: Employees have an interest in higher salaries and more benefits Customers have an interest in lower prices and better service Governments have an interest in higher taxes and greater regulatory restrictions Shareholders have an interest in receiving greater profits from investments
6. The Internet gives an opportunity to escapethe “struggle” It encourages and enables people to gather in common interest rather than opposition. "CEOs need to engage critics - it's even possible there is a justifiable gripe that the CEO needs to be made aware of. I can't promise I'll win a critic round but I'll never stop trying and I'll become better informed in the process.“ - Don Elgie, CEO Creston
8. Authority is dispersing. We’re moving from a shareholder to stakeholder society Trust in traditional authority figures is falling: In some countries, trust in the CEO has fallen below 20%. The credibility of corporate advertising (13%) and corporate websites (24%) has dropped Meanwhile, people trust the credibility of Internet searches (35%) as much as newspapers (34%) to find new information So it’s not surprising people need to hear something between 3-5 times on average before they believe it’s true Source: Edelman Trust Barometer 2009
11. Shareholder value is only part of the equation Business can behave responsibly, accountably and openly and by engaging stakeholders still benefit the bottom line. …In other words, to sell the proposition make sure what you say and what you do match.
12. “What you’re doing speaks so loud I can’t hear what you’re saying.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
