One of the biggest misconceptions about change is that it is an exercise in persuasion. Yet anyone who has ever been married or had kids knows how hard it can be to convince even a single person of something they don’t want to be convinced about. Seeking to persuade hundreds or thousands to change what they think or how they act is a tall order indeed.

Money, money, money. It wasn’t so long ago that it was always sunny in the rich man’s world. But today, things just aren’t that easy, and talking about money isn’t enough. Businesses cannot thrive and survive in a competitive environment with only one bottom line – profit. United Nations Global Compact report points out that such issues as poverty, an uneducated workforce, and resource scarcity will, and already is, causing issues for business growth.

Opportunity discovery is the practice of figuring out where a business can find new growth. It’s the phase that comes before customer discovery and before product idea. (You can actually start with either of those, but one should take a big step backward to learn more about the actual opportunity.). There are 4 parts to opportunity discovery: 1) Build the “Sandbox” ; 2) Observe the Environment ; 3) Find the Personas ; and 4) Define the Jobs.

Do you know what disruptive innovation is? No, I am not talking about every start-up trying to disrupt their industry. I am talking about the original theory of disruptive innovation, as outlined by Professor Clayton Christensen in his groundbreaking Harvard Business Review article in 1995. This was the theory which described how small upstart companies can take market share away from the large incumbent companies in a market, by delivering a new offering which may be inferior to that of the inc

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

Now is the time of year when many leaders turn their thoughts to crafting the strategic plan for next year. In most cases, this involves financial forecasting, resource planning, and a review of this year’s performance to date. All of that is important, but according to the book, The Balanced Scorecard by David Norton and Robert Kaplan, 90 percent of organizations fail to execute their strategies.

When running a social media campaign for a B2B client, the first platform you probably think of is LinkedIn. LinkedIn provides the most premium audience in B2B. No other social media platform allows you to target decision makers by job title, company, and industry. Your second thought may be Facebook (and Instagram). These channels, on the other hand, are less tightly targeted for B2B but still hit the right people if the strategy behind the targeting is tactical.

Innovation requires engagement, collaboration and diverse thinking. However, organizations can face many challenges in creating an open space for employees to contribute ideas. Some of the issues companies encounter during the innovation process include the lack of a platform that acts as a single point of truth to connect information. In addition, limited capabilities to foster innovation and low interest among teams to participate in the process can also be hurdles to successful ideation.

It helps leaders build buy-in and commitment, particularly when they have to make difficult decisions. It drives engagement and helps increase employee retention.

Yet results in terms of growth from innovation rarely live up to expectations, despite an abundance of innovation activities. Furthermore, only 20% of companies are (or feel) ready to scale innovation because very few leaders are satisfied with the skills they have.

Legal professionals, including lawyers and judges, leverage court case videos to rewind the facts, verify the authenticity, and enhance transparency in judicial proceedings. In short, court case videos are like any other case-related evidence and must be available and searchable like any other text document. Moreover, as courts deal with highly sensitive information prone to leakage and tampering, quick and accurate transcription of court videos is of paramount importance.
