Niet het bedrijf maar de klant geeft de waarde aan. Waarde is wat een klant voor een dienst of product wil betalen. Hiervoor dien je de juiste diensten te bieden, op het juiste moment, tegen de juiste prijs en van de juiste kwaliteit. Om dit te kunnen bereiken zul je inzicht moeten krijgen in hoe de processen wer- ken, hoe je dit verbetert en versoepelt, hoe je onnodige stappen in het proces kunt elimineren en verspillingen voor- komt of vermindert.
The document discusses the growth of carsharing and ridesharing as alternatives to traditional car ownership. It notes that 250 million cars sit idle for 22 hours per day, and that carsharing addresses urban mobility challenges by making more efficient use of limited parking space as more people move to cities. Carsharing is presented as having environmental benefits over personal car ownership and fitting with broader sharing economy and transportation trends. The future of consumption may involve more shared and access-based ownership models rather than personal ownership of underutilized assets like cars.
The document discusses how carsharing addresses challenges of urban mobility as cities face more people in the same spaces and less parking. Carsharing provides environmental benefits and fits with larger trends of collaborative consumption rather than conspicuous consumption. The document promotes carsharing as being here to stay due to its ease of use, including free-floating concepts that allow spontaneous use or reservations, with cars never more than 5 minutes away and no need to return them to designated spots. Carsharing requires only a one-time registration fee with no minimums or monthly payments, only paying as you go, and includes gas, insurance and parking making it cheaper than owning a car.
The document discusses the challenges businesses face in a world with climate change, resource scarcity, and greater transparency. It outlines strategies for businesses to address these "mega challenges" through a "big pivot." Specifically, it recommends businesses fight short-termism, pursue innovative solutions, set science-based goals, collaborate with others, build resilience, and inspire customers to reduce their environmental impact. The overall message is that addressing sustainability issues will require transformational change but also presents major business opportunities.
This document discusses how technology can help create a more sustainable future through increased awareness and sensing capabilities. It outlines a vision of creating a "Central Nervous System for the Earth" using vast sensor networks to monitor things like energy and resource usage, environmental conditions, infrastructure integrity and more. This would allow gathering more detailed data, detecting problems earlier, optimizing processes in real-time and helping reduce humanity's impact on the planet through increased awareness of our interactions with the environment. The document highlights ongoing research at HP into developing smaller, lower-cost wireless sensors and sensor integration that could enable deploying such a global sensing network at large scale.

1. Un Ufficiale della Guardia di Finanza entra in un’azienda agricola, seguito dai collaboratori, e si rivolge al proprietario: “ Buongiorno, siamo della GdF e dobbiamo procedere ad una perquisizione nella sua proprietà, perché ci è stata segnalata una coltivazione illegale di droga!” Il contadino risponde: “Va bene, ma non entrate in quel campo là in fondo, dietro la siepe” e lo indica col dito. L’Ufficiale risponde irritato: “Caro Signore, ma come si permette? Io sono Ufficiale della GdF ed entro dove mi pare, chiaro?!?” estraendo il suo TESSERINO e mostrandolo fiero all’agricoltore: “Lo vede questo? Io con questo entro dove mi pare e senza dare giustificazioni, sono stato abbastanza chiaro?” Il contadino fa un cenno educato con la testa, chiede scusa all’Ufficiale e torna a fare i suoi lavori. Qualche minuto dopo sente delle urla terrorizzate e vede l’Ufficiale correre come un pazzo, inseguito a pochi metri da CHARLIE il toro!
2. A ogni passo il toro guadagna terreno sull’Ufficiale. Il contadino posa i suoi attrezzi e gli grida: “ IL SUO TESSERINOOOO, GLI MOSTRI IL SUO TESSERINO!!!”
