Creativity and Sustainable Innovation: The Essential Keys for Progress - Dr. ...Sustainable Brands
In order to drive sustainability within an organization, it must come from a set of practices and culture that's driven by radical thinking. Not just answers. Radical questions! Dr. Robert Epstein discusses sustainable innovation and how specific practices that stimulate creativity can be embedded into every level of an company. Topics include Generativity Theory and research, 12 creative competencies for individuals and managers, games and exercises that strengthen creativity skills and boost innovation, and three practices to keep creativity flowing.
Innovation isn’t the job of R&D or Marketing anymore. Innovation is everyone’s job – but most aren’t trained/experienced in innovation.
Whether you start at "small i" innovation or "BIG I" Innovation - can you really afford NOT to improve your innovation capabilities?

An ExO is a purpose driven project and the MTP paves the way toward two amazing opportunities.
The nature of the purpose is to convey the identity of the entrepreneurial project, to transmit it to the world (inside and outside the project ecosphere).
For this reason, it is indispensable to building a modern brand, whose essence goes well beyond the sphere of the product or the service and it reaches the unconscious sphere to meet the emotions of clients, collaborators, investors, shareholders and suppliers so as to create with all of them a new brand experience dimension.
The paradox of the massive transformative purpose is in its intangible nature that nevertheless concretizes and conveys the most authentic way of being of the entrepreneurial project, allowing it to emerge from the noisy context of modern communication.
The work of the framework, if done with seriousness, places the entrepreneur in front of a choice:
1) inspiring all the communication of the entrepreneurial project (new or pre-existing) to what emerged from the five questions, using it as a not negligible competitive advantage to building a modern brand,
2) or starting the ExO project: in this case, the first and only mandatory among the ExO model exponential attributes, is ready with other indispensable elements to building a modern brand identity.

Drilling down into business fundamentals, founders and fit, here are some effective questions Angels ask to see which startups stand-out.
An updated edition with expanded content prepared for https://www.sandboxph.org/
Investors historically sit through pitches and evaluate early stage startups on three primary metrics: 1) great looking product demos, 2) compelling presentations, and 3) a strong team. Steve Blank, the Godfather of the Lean Startup movement said in his Customer Development Manifesto: “There’s no formal way for an investor to assess project maturity or quantify risks. Other than measuring engineering progress, there’s no standard language to communicate progress.”
What has been missing is a common language to communicate objectives and data that investors and entrepreneurs can use to communicate startup readiness.
Fortunately, the principles developed in the Lean Startup movement can be utilized to help entrepreneurs assess their Investor Readiness Level in a way that allows them to demonstrate “evidence” of their readiness. In this session, Max Green and Heath Naquin, both of the IC2 Institute, will share this new method for entrepreneurs to gauge their own investor readiness using the principles of Steve Blank's Investment Readiness Level and LeanLaunchpad.
Entrepreneurs attending this session will learn a valuable approach helping their start-up team prove their competence and validate their ideas by showing investors “evidence” that there’s a repeatable and scalable business model.
Heath Naquin serves as Executive Director for the SW I-Corps Node at The University of Texas at Austin. He also serves as the Managing Director for a multi-university NSF Industry University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) the Center for Next Generation Photovoltaics. Heath was a founding member of three different start-up business initiatives across sectors. He has helped companies raise more than $30 Million in funding from private and government sources.
Heath actively works on international commercialization initiatives and efforts focusing on industry collaboration, new project development and deployment along with building linkages between industry, government, academia and the venture capital community. Heath has worked in more than 20 countries on international commercialization and entrepreneurship initiatives in countries such as Colombia, Jordan, Iraq, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Armenia, and Turkey. Heath has extensive experience with the NSF, EPA and NIH SBIR programs as an active commercial reviewer for many years. Heath also currently serves as Faculty for the Concordia University Executive MBA program.

Chinaccelerator, in cooperation with Tech Temple and GWC, once again hosted their program-annual 10X10 Beijing on March 8th, 2014.
The Geeks on a Train tour takes the Chinaccelerator startups on a ride from Shanghai to Beijing, then back down to Hangzhou before returning to Shanghai.
As part of the tour, the 10x10 conference brings attendees 10 tech pioneers (in this case we had 12!) and top VC's from the startup ecosystem in China. This is an amazing opportunity for attendees to have a peek at the first startup accelerator program in China, meet interesting people and listen to amazing speakers.
As always, each of them takes attendees on a 10-minute tour of their own startup trials and tribulations, wins and losses, then give some great advice and maybe a secret or two about what they learned to help make them the superstars they are today.
These are their slides, we hope you enjoy them. Thank you for supporting Chinaccelerator and entrepreneurship worldwide.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

ExitMgmt fee and
carry
40. What is an exit?
• Termed this way because the entrepreneur’s share in the company
drops dramatically, he ‘exits’ the Board
• Traditionally happens when:
• Initial public offering (IPO) or
• Merger or acquired by another company (M&A)
• What’s in it for you?
• Huge cash payout when you take part of your stock and sell it to public
• Acquiring company pays you a large amount cash and/or their stock
• The idea of an exit is the ‘sell high’ part when you and your early stage
VC entered by ‘buying low’
41. What is an exit?
Today: company valued at
$100k
10% of it costs $10k to invest
Tomorrow: company valued
at $100m
Selling off that original 10%
earns you $10m
Exit = an event
