The Maker Movement began in the early 2000s as a resurgence of do-it-yourself creativity fueled by new technologies like 3D printing and Arduino boards. Makers now number in the millions as people rediscover the satisfaction of making physical objects with their own hands. New low-cost tools and online communities have lowered barriers to entry, empowering a new generation of innovators and shifting production away from large corporations. The Maker Movement promises significant economic and social benefits by transforming industries, democratizing innovation, and inspiring self-sufficiency.

Dispatches From The New Economy: The On-Demand Economy And The Future Of WorkIntuit Inc.
From delivery, transportation and household errands, to professional services and consulting, the on-demand economy is changing the way people consume goods and services. It is also changing the way people work. Intuit and Emergent Research forecast that the number of people working on-demand jobs will grow from 3.2 million Americans to 7.6 million by 2020. This is a once in a generation opportunity to empower the future of work and a new face of entrepreneurship.
Dispatches from the New Economy: The On-Demand Workforce provides a detailed analysis of the demographics, motivations and challenges of workers pursuing on-demand jobs. The data comes from a study from Intuit and Emergent Research that examined people working via eleven on-demand economy and online talent marketplace companies. Study participants included: Deliv, Field Nation, HourlyNerd, MBO Partners, OnForce, Uber, Upwork (formerly Elance-oDesk), Visually, Wonolo, and Work Market.
Methodology
A total of 4,622 workers who find work opportunities via the platforms provided by the participating partner companies completed an online survey between September 11 and October 1, 2015. The results were weighted to reflect the proportion of workers in each of the following segments: Drivers/Delivery, Online Talent Marketplaces and Field Service/Onsite Talent. The weights were developed using earlier survey work that sized the on-demand economy. The largest weighted share of on-demand worker respondents from any single company is 16%, with most partner companies providing less than 10% of the respondents.
This presentation was researched and developed to introduce the small businesses and not for profits that the idea of social media is not a new fad. My goal was to break down any preconceived notions about the power of Social Media today and in the future.

Win in Search with Effective (+ unpaid) Influencer Marketing CampaignsMatthew Raven
Influencer marketing campaigns are most frequently executed to improve immediate visibility of a brand, product or service through a trusted voice, but are rarely executed (in the right way) in an effort to build equity in the brand’s website and ultimately, improving visibility of the brand through organic search. We’ll highlight a variety of influencer marketing programs that succeeded in simultaneously connecting brands with relevant, niche audiences online and improving search engine visibility. Walk away with actionable steps to help take your influencer marketing program to the next level. You’ll learn how to identify the right audience, create a resonant organic outreach campaign that doesn’t require giving away free product or paying to play, and how to write an effective pitch.

A common problem for planners moving markets is understanding the best agencies to work for. With a great list of international planners in the Planning Dirty newsletter group I thought I would ask the planners who they thought was the best agency to work for.
I compiled the first 10 agencies for the shortlist by analyzing the planning (IPA, Effies, Jay Chiats) and creative awards (Gunn Report) from the last three year looking at the agencies that consistently perform well.
I am making a shortlist of 20, so would love to get recommendations on agencies that you think should make the list.

Women in Tech: How to Build A Human CompanyLuminary Labs
We often think about design in terms of product or service strategy, but what about the design of companies? In the words of Phin Barnes of First Round Capital: “Entrepreneurs are the designers of companies. Great startup CEOs recognize very early that their job is not to build a product, but to build a company — defined by mission, values, and culture.”
Recently, organizations large and small have radically rethought company design by embracing employee-favorable policies such as establishing livable wages, developing creative equity plans, offering paid parental leave policies, and even pulling out of an entire state in protest of discrimination. In addition to sending a strong signal that people come first, these organizations are also making an economic argument to investors that employee-friendly policies pay dividends in reduced turnover and improved business outcome.
In this talk, Sara Holoubek, CEO of Luminary Labs, shares the forces behind this sea change as well as practical examples from companies featured in The Human Company Playbook, including Plated, Etsy, Pinterest, and General Assembly.

Workshop Activating Creativity THE HR challenge for the coming years by Ale...Alexander Crépin
It is time to take advantage of the creative potential in your organisation. You could offer employees and stakeholders a positive perspective. Adding value by creation of new customer value.
In the end companies won't succeed by focus on spending cuts, at a certain moment there is nothing more to cut. Success can’t do without creativity & innovation.
Besides this we have to transform global economies to sustainability. This is only possible if we use all the creative potential in our society.
For HR activating creativity, becoming cre-active is a great opportunity to improve business results. Becoming a real Business Partner, focussing on actively adding value to the business process.

People have created and modified tools to address their needs since prehistoric times. But since a few generations we simply buy the tools we need and use them in the way they have been designed. With the current pervasive presence of digital technology, these digital 'tools' are increasingly defining how we live, communicate, learn and work.
Many think of this as nauseating and constraining. We feel that we are forced to live the way big corporations have designed it for us. We feel no longer free to do what we want.
Why can't we design our own tools anymore? Is it really true that corporations always know better what we want? What about those people who fall outside of the mainstream, and have needs and contexts of life that require special tools, that these people can design themselves better than anyone else? And are we not all sometimes out of the mainstream?
In fact, we are increasingly becoming tech tinkerers, adapting our digital tools to a great variety of human needs.
This phenomenon has only just started. The open source hardware revolution has hardly kicked off, also due to the fact that digital technology that surrounds us is not always easy to modify.
But what would our world be like if technology was easy to modify? Would there be more empowerment? Innovation? Democracy? Participation? What could be in it for business? What could this all mean for people in emerging markets and for the future web of things?
What happens when the web2.0 architecture of participation meets the marginalised? What are the trends in web-enabled social innovation, and how can we encourage them.

Evolution of Social Media and its effects on Knowledge OrganisationCollabor8now Ltd
There has been a lot of hype around social media, social networks and social business, much of it unhelpful in understanding what this is all about. For some people, “social” will always mean frivolity and time wasting. For others, social media just means marketing and communications.
The evolution of social media over the past several years has made it easier than ever before to find, connect and engage with “experts” and people with similar interests. Enlightened organisations have recognised that investment in social technologies and (most importantly) the organisational change required in order to nurture and embed a collaborative culture, can overcome the limitations of silo’d structures that have traditionally inhibited information flows and opportunities for innovation.
In a broader context, the pervasive and ubiquitous availability of social media in almost all aspects of daily life, from the way we communicate, get information, buy and sell, travel, live and learn is adding to the pressure on organisations to provide a more porous interface between internal (behind the firewall) and external services. Knowledge workers are increasingly making their own decisions on what tools, products and services that they need to work more effectively and will become increasingly disaffected if these are not available within the work environment.
This presentation looks at industry trends on how social media and social technologies are changing the way that we generate, organise and consume knowledge, and how this is driving emergent digital literacies for knowledge workers.

Going voice first: What executives should know about the next digital disruptionLuminary Labs
The voice-first paradigm shift requires rethinking everything. But the challenge isn’t new — we’ve been through this before. We look at the current state of voice technology, what we can learn from previous digital disruptions, and how companies can move forward.
By 2016, VR was the definitive tech media darling, promising the ability to not just replicate an experience, but to convince people of the validity of alternate realities. Venture funding flowed, content studios proliferated, and hardware launch dates were eagerly anticipated. Fast forward to 2017 and the equipment is still bulky and expensive, UX issues like nausea persist, and key immersive elements like haptic feedback and social interaction are still primitive. While some experiences are transformative, others underwhelm; market reports vary wildly on future investment and revenue projections.
So where exactly are we in the simulated reality hype cycle? Read the full article here: http://www.luminary-labs.com/insight/in-pursuit-of-reality/
In April 2015, Luminary Labs gathered convened Lab Session #2 to discuss The Human Company. Over the past 12 months, multiple corporations have radically rethought how they do business by establishing livable wages, developing creative equity plans, offering paid parental leave policies, and even pulling out of an entire state in protest of discrimination. In addition to sending a strong signal that people come first, these organizations are also making an economic argument to investors that employee-favorable policies pay dividends in reduced turnover and improved business outcome.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.

“Of all things Americans are, we are makers. With our
strengths and our minds and spirit, we gather, we form,
and we fashion: makers and shapers and put-it-
togetherers.”
– Chevrolet, 1961

Who is making?
> 500 makerspaces in the US
> 145,000 attendees of Bay Area Maker Faire
> 300,000 readers of Make Magazine
> 1.7 million active Etsy sellers
> 3 million GitHub users

“There is something calming or reassuring or relaxing that
happens when you build something with your hands.
You’ve just made something bigger than yourself.
You’re not just being a consumer anymore.”
– Andrew Sliwinski, as quoted in the New York Times (2011)

1680, Napier’s Tables. We use math to take shortcuts
(logarithms) and build devices to execute that math, but we still
control the mechanics. The idea to put these mechanics inside
a box begins; we start to lose touch with what is actually
happening. Photo: Wikimedia

1680, Arithmometre. The box gets shinier, more permanent,
making it more difficult to peek ‘s actually happening inside is
much harder to see.

1964, Olivetti Programma 101. The box is plastic now, with
more output for less input. Compared to computers at that time,
however, it can still be controlled in a fairly detailed way by the
user. Still a DIY attitude.

1976, Apple I. As enterprise computers get bigger, Steve
Wozniak presents Apple I at the Homebrew Computer Club.
The box is more tactile and the innards are exposed.

2015, iPhone 6. Inner workings are invisible. The user can
interact, but the actions are abstractions of what happens on the
inside. One survey reported that most people didn’t know their
iPhone battery could be replaced.

It’s not too late. Breaking things down is the best way to
understand their component parts.

Kits like littleBits allow anyone to learn, play, and make with
basic electronics and circuits. Started by Ayah Bdeir after
quitting her job in finance, littleBits intends to create good and
help everyone have a basic understanding of technology.

And it’s not just for coding experts. Jewelbots reimagined the
classic charm bracelet as a cutting-edge wearable to inspire
young girls to experiment with code.

“Since the first Industrial Revolution, the power to make
things at scale has belonged to those who own the means
of production, which has meant big factories, big
companies, and the mass-market goods they were built
for. But the same was true for mass media in the 20th
century, and we’ve seen what the internet and its long tail
of content has done to that. Now imagine a long tail of
things: physical goods created with the web’s digital
innovation model. That’s the maker movement.”
– Chris Anderson, WIRED magazine (2013)

Shifting the means of production. The playing field has been
leveled. Gartner projects that by 2018, nearly 50% of Internet of
Things solutions will be provided by startups less than three
years old.

Creating the modern factory. Adafruit creates small, easy-to-
use electronics for makers. Its NYC headquarters is profitable
because it is able to iterate in house, develop new products
quickly in response to the market, attract high-quality talent, and
keep shipping costs low. Photo: Adafruit

Transforming healing. This is a customizable, 3D-printed
cast. 3D printing and additive manufacturing are not new, but
the tools are miniaturizing and becoming more accessible to the
everyday person.

Empowering new innovators. MakerNurse invented the IV
House after watching nurses continually hack together IV
guards out of cut-up plastic cups.

Making fashion more functional. 3D-printed textiles represent
a new medium—this 3D-printed fabric turns a jumpsuit into an
MP3 player.

Changing how we connect with brands. Adobe
commissioned a reimagined version of its logo. Each square is
connected to an artist’s software, so whatever color they are
playing with displays on the box.

Shaping policy. In 2014, President Obama issued a call to
action that “every company, every college, every community,
every citizen joins us as we lift up makers and builders and
doers across the country.” Here, he checks out a robotic giraffe
