Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).

First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

'How brazen' they said.
"How threatening' they thought.
She'd talk with anyone.
With everyone.
Without cautions, or regard
to who and how they were.
Or to where such
conversation might lead.
Slaying make-beliefs and
catching uneasy truths
along the way.
Such is the consequence of
unprotected conversation.
'How irresponsible' they said.
'How courageous' they thought.

Editor's Notes
They succeded via their soft behavioral skills – they went to the university of life
They are post-conventional people, those who define the next frontiers of conventional wisdom – they are believers
I invite you to try and find out for your self what your beleieves, yourvision, passion and tenacity are all about – we all have it, somewhere deep inside of ourselves, hidden like a treasure . we are sometimes not believing enough in it, or a bit blind, stubborn, deaf, ….

Action and coalitions – no one can succeed alone, on his own
altruism and empathy become relevant – meditation !
Where and when do our best ideas emerge - Thinking silence, beautiful places – Japanese Minister, Montreux fast trains in the 70s
Gandi, Mme Vazirani – India : Western vs eastern - words vs consciousness – life experiences, hearts vs intellect
I have tried this in a region in Switzerland – the answer our culture is not ready, it doesn’t hurt enough yet to make these efforts.
Met for one hour a secretary general of one of the UN orgs in Geneva – he confirmed that this is also a challenge at the UN and this is recognized at the highest levels of the organization – he asked me how can we change it ?
Praneo way fits and explains perfectly the way we have set the framework this class – the more connected we are to ourselves, the more we can be to others, nature and the whole.
New possibilities = unleashing potentials – human and organizational – at all levels - business and territorial
Imagine what others cannot see – still in the ego, reptilian, limbic system and left brain rational, logical memory – induces often too partial, biased, short term , materialistic and fragmented visions and solutions
Tune into subconsciouness of – are connected to Self and akash universal memory – become part of the co-creation, as known and described by all traditions
It is like the universe had prepared the right person and mind set to be in the right place at the right time with the right technology to unleash and leverage emergence ….
Is he riding a wave or is he co-creating the wave ?
Was he chosen or did he choose ?
Where there any hidden invisible hands, fiery angels masters, gourous working before, in other spheres and spaces ?
CSR – beyond words, it includes real actions with all stakeholders, communities around factories and other company sites.
CRS has a purpose – insure short, mid and long term triple sustainability – people planet profit. Example Paul Polman, Unilever is very active and dares to say that short termism of financial world can no longer be the sole driver of his company if it wants to act responsibly
Poverty is not only measured in monetary and material terms, but also and foremost in human development, social capital terms – even Credit Suisse , a bank we all have heard starts to tap into this – solidarity studies on young adults – Bra, US, CH.
Who wants to guess the order of most to least solidaire ?
Similar example – an important Hospital complex . More than 10k employees in the Midwest , where do they get doctors and nurses from and why ?
I’ll make it simpler which continent … Bra and Philippines – knowledge engagement and HUMANITY
Persistence, edge, genuine authenticity toward value chain and community
Is confident and instills trust between people and organizations
personifies enthusiasm, passion, charm, presence , empathy, altruism
Drive to support others as care takers and spearhead solutions as courageous pioneers
Desire to serve, respectfulness, sensitivity, nurturing ability, humanity
Product and industry knowledge, sales acumen, efficiency, focus, organization, and passion for continued growth
Nourishes a positive constructive open culture, fosters participation and collaboration, transparency with their organizations and beyond
Allows to test and validate, mistakes are considered the steepest learning curve
Practice human and spiritual development, seek to be open about it

Humanly not viable – what is impact on families, citizens and democracies ?
Economically irresponsible - growth at any costs, debts of governments and individuals, demography
Ecologically not sustainable -
Imagine what others cannot see – still in the ego, reptilian, limbic system and left brain rational, logical memory – induces often too partial, biased, short term , materialistic and fragmented visions and solutions
Tune into subconsciouness of – are connected to Self and akash universal memory – become part of the co-creation, as known and described by all traditions
True visionary leaders forsee the future
Receive the info from elsewhere, channel
We get stuck in the lower center for too much emphasis on extrinsic diversity and the parts – low structure of interpretations it is our comfort zone. To be fully lived it should be more focused on intrinsic diversity – how we think, decide, act
Our challenge is to balance the act by bringing in all the other polarizing elements to generate emergence and dynamic sustainable life movements:
systemic thinking ,federalism, oneness, united, spirituality to the top – governance, think tanks, meditation …
Sustainability , SDGs, greater common good purposes, define integration principles of the parts - to the left
Relationships between individuals, organisations, nations, positioning, better fit between orgs - to the right
Circular economies, wbcsd
Energy turn around
We know what , we struggle on the how, the when,
We are probably still quite blind yet on the next technological, energetic and social breakthroughs
If there were only 3 words to remember from this presentation
And one white paper to read -
5 min video about allowing ourselves to show our heart in a conversation
Getting to know the other one before engaging, working, asking, expectating
Asking how do you do today, ho do you feel, are we available each one of us, are we atuned, can we start … we do that we our cars, our wives, why not in business and … because we do not have time is no excuse !!
Imagine what others cannot see – still in the ego, reptilian, limbic system and left brain rational, logical memory – induces often too partial, biased, short term , materialistic and fragmented visions and solutions.
Motorbike champion – I just see and feel the way from the inside – there is a line on the ground I must follow. A music composer – once there is silence, the night falls, I meditate … I receive the signs and sounds throughout the night, it is not me composing I am available to receive and compose … Einstein, Jung, Paul Klee said the same – serendipity !!
Livre gottlieb guntern – in the sign of the butterfly – recommend and show book. Beauty of what anthropologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, philosophers can bring us today from a transdisciplinary perspective. A best seller book translated in 2012 into english
Publisher’s notice - Gottlieb Guntern's conclusion: the dinosaur based its survival strategy on a maximization of body weight and size, while the butterfly responded flexibly when faced with drastic changes in environmental conditions. This takes the author to the core issue of the book: the basic leadership failures that typify present-day society. His diagnosis rings ever truer in the course of recent events: leadership failures are symptoms of a deep-seated illness - a spiritual crisis. Our greedy society has forgotten how to adapt as it attempts to survive in the sign of the dinosaur. Guntern shows us how to learn from the butterfly and succeed in abandoning the dino-strategy of maximizing single variables.
There is no question that wanting to be bigger, faster, richer, more ruthless, and more powerful, with no thought of the consequences, is mindless and dangerous - a perfect prescription for doom.
Biography : Gottlieb Guntern, systems scientist and psychiatrist, is an internationally acclaimed expert on creativity and leadership. He is the author of The Spirit of Creativity: Basic Mechanisms of Creative Achievements (University Press of America), a systemic in-depth study of creative accomplishments. Guntern is the co-founder and president of the Board of Trustees of the International CREANDO Foundation on Creativity and Leadership.
