I had a burning desire to motivate my staff into generating ideas that would RADICALLY improve my department and support the goals and mission of our agency.
From my experience, in a typical mind mapping session, usually many ideas are developed, some innovative, perhaps, but rarely “Radical.” I wanted to change that paradigm from an idea, which could make a difference to blowing the doors off the walls.

Jeremiah refused to compromise the Lord’s message or forget his calling as God’s prophet. Jeremiah serves as an excellent model for us of persevering faith when the Lord’s enemies attack us with false accusations and persecute us when we speak God’s truth to them. This presentation is the second in the series concerning the perseverance of Jeremiah in his obedience to God
Ten Things Agencies Should Accentuate When It Comes To Social MediaAbhishek Shah
Many PR and marketing agencies are still using social media ineffectively—for their clients and for themselves.
Social media is still suffering from the “hot new thing” syndrome. Clients need it and agencies say they can master it, but neither group knows why they are using it or how it plugs into the business side.
Here are 10 things agencies should accentuate when it comes to social media services

Class syllabus for 5-Day Lean Launchpad class with Steve Blank.
This course provides real world, hands-on learning on what it’s like to actually start a high-tech company. This class is not about how to write a business plan. It’s not an exercise on how smart you are in a classroom, or how well you use the research library to size markets. And the end result is not a PowerPoint slide deck for a VC presentation.
This is a practical class – essentially a lab, not a theory or “book” class. Our goal, within the constraints of a classroom and a limited amount of time, is to create an entrepreneurial experience for you with all of the pressures and demands of the real world in an early stage start up.
You will be getting your hands dirty talking to customers, partners, competitors, as you encounter the chaos and uncertainty of how a startup actually works. You’ll work in teams learning how to turn a great idea into a great company. You’ll learn how to use a business model to brainstorm each part of a company and customer development to get out of the classroom to see whether anyone other than you would want/use your product. Finally, based on the customer and market feedback you gathered, you would use agile development to rapidly iterate your product to build something customers would actually use and buy. Each day will be a new adventure outside the classroom as you test each part of your business model and then share the hard earned knowledge with the rest of the class.
llegamos a las negociaciones paritarias después que los grandes empresarios nacionales y extranjeros produjeran en diciembre y enero, una escalada en la remarcación de precios que afecta fuertemente el poder adquisitivo de salarios y jubilaciones. El gobierno nacional por su parte convalida este estado de cosas intentando fijar un tope a los aumentos para que no excedan el 20 %, bajo la amenaza de que no serán homologados por el Ministerio de Trabajo porcentajes superiores. Cuenta para ello con la indispensable colaboración de las conducciones sindicales comenzando por la directiva Celeste de CTERA.
Neue Studie: Smartphone, Tablet & Co – iUnderstand?
Wie verständlich präsentieren sich die Anbieter von Unterhaltungselektronik? Wie reagieren Unternehmen der Branche auf direkte Kunden-Anfragen? Diese und weitere Fragen untersucht eine neue Studie des H&H Communication Lab, der Unternehmensberatung Iskander Business Partner und der Universität Hohenheim. Das Ergebnis: durchwachsen. Produktbeschreibungen und Pressemitteilungen lassen zu wünschen übrig. Nur die E-Mail-Kommunikation schneidet insgesamt sehr verständlich ab.
Neben einer hohen Nutzerfreundlichkeit spielt die Produktkommunikation auch weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle – Kunden kaufen am liebsten Produkte, die sie verstehen“, erklärt Ben Hagelauer von Iskander Business Partner. „Unsere langjährige Erfahrung in der Beratungspraxis zeigt jedoch immer wieder: In der Consumer-Electronics-Branche liegt der Fokus auf den Produkten und dem Vertrieb – der Kundenkommunikation wird dagegen zu wenig Beachtung geschenkt.“ So werden Texte häufig mit Mammut-Sätzen, Anglizismen und Wort-Ungetümen gespickt.
Verständlichkeit der Kundenkommunikation unter der Lupe
Die Studie analysiert drei typische Textsorten in der Kommunikation von Unternehmen: Produktbeschreibungen, Pressemitteilungen und E-Mails. Die Texte von neun Unternehmen wurden auf ihre formale Verständlichkeit untersucht. Wichtige Kriterien sind unter anderem: kurze Sätze, aktiver Sprachstil oder Vermeidung von Anglizismen und langen, zusammengesetzten Begriffen.
Die Verständlichkeit von Produktbeschreibungen variiert sehr stark, den ersten Platz erzielt dabei Apple, auf dem letzten Platz findet sich Lenovo. „Offenbar sehen einige Unternehmen Produktbeschreibungen immer noch nicht als wichtigen Teil ihres Produkts an“, kommentiert Professor Dr. Frank Brettschneider von der Universität Hohenheim das Ergebnis. „Unverständliche Produktbeschreibungen können bei den Verbrauchern aber Frustrationen auslösen.“
Die Pressemitteilungen der Unternehmen schneiden laut Studie am schlechtesten ab. Mit einem Durchschnitt von 6,62 Punkten liegt deren Verständlichkeitswert gerade einmal im unteren Mittelfeld. Auch wenn die E-Mail-Kommunikation im Schnitt am besten bewertet wurde, besteht hier gerade bei den Reaktionszeiten und bei den Kontaktmöglichkeiten einiger Unternehmen Verbesserungsbedarf: So antworteten zwei der Unternehmen im Untersuchungszeitraum auf eine Anfrage überhaupt nicht und Apple bietet trotz Ankündigung kein Kontaktformular für Kundenanfragen an. Bei manchen Unternehmen ging die Antwort an der Frage vorbei. Besonders positiv fiel die Bewertung für Samsung und LG aus. Sie fielen sowohl durch verständliche Antworten als auch durch besonders schnelle Reaktionen auf.
