Good morning. The big data release today is, of course, US jobless claims. Survey expectations are looking for 2.5 million -- while this would be lower than in recent weeks, it is still an alarming number. And it would bring the cumulative 8-week total to over 35 million #jobs #joblessclaims #joblessness #unemployment #economy #unemployment #recession #wages #jobless …see more

Imagine a piece of meat. Put some bones underneath it, cover the bones with muscles and nerves and skin. Put on two pairs of eyes and a mouth (but not too big a mouth, those are annoying). Take a huge needle and inject life into it. It’s going to hurt at first. But that’s what needles are for. This is what our robot masters did when they began what they call “The Great Experiment” and created us. …see more

"'I have a dream.' "[Over] fifty years ago, on August 28, 1963, American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., uttered those words in his most famous speech. Using that captivating refrain, King expressed his dream, or hope, that one day people would enjoy life free from racial prejudice. "...Even in lands where some progress has been made in combating racial and other forms of prejudice, the question remains: Have the improvements really rooted out the deep-seated feelings of people or have they merely curbed the outward manifestation of those feelings? Some believe that at best such improvements only help prevent discrimination but may be powerless at eliminating prejudice. "Why so? "Because discrimination is an act that can be seen and punished by law, whereas prejudice is related to people’s inner thoughts and emotions, which cannot be easily regulated. "Therefore, any attempt to eliminate prejudice must not merely curb discriminatory acts but also change a person’s thoughts and feelings toward people of another group. "Can this really be done? "If so, how?" (Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/d97KznB -- jw.org ) #LoveNeverFails …see more

My colleagues Susan Lund , James Manyika , Sven Smit , and Anu Madgavkar from The McKinsey Global Institute just published a detailed analysis of the impact of remote work on several industries and geographies. MGI analyzed more than 2,000 activities across 800 occupations in nine countries: China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. (Link to the report in the comments) Some highlights: ** Over 20% of the workforce in developed economies could work remotely three to five days a week equally as effectively as if they were working from an office. ** If remote work took hold at that level, that would mean three to four times as many people working from home than were doing so pre-COVID and would have a profound impact on urban economies, transportation, and consumer spending. ** More than half the workforce has little or no opportunity for remote work. ** Remote work potential is concentrated in a few sectors. Finance and insurance has the highest potential, with 3/4 of time spent on activities in those occupations able to be done remotely without a loss of productivity. #remotework #technology #covid …see more

Not sure how long it’s going to take for people to see the next generation want to be influencers while we also think they somehow want privacy.

Sadly, most of the time in business it's better to think the exact same way as everyone else ( and to be wrong) than it is to be objectively correct but think differently. Greater Fool Theory.

Hey Auditors!!!!! My Data Analytics teacher has a pretty cool request. I’m looking for auditors with 3+ years of experience to help me with an experiment in February. Basically, I’m exploring whether NIU student employees will disclose more internal control and policy violations to an avatar (i.e., virtual human) interviewer than to a human interviewer. The interviews will take place on NIU’s campus in DeKalb. DM me if you want to volunteer! What do you think his results will be? #radicalcpa #audit #cpa #ai #avatar #virtualhumans #accounting #futureready #innovation #technology #fintech …see more

We have ready access to the world’s information at our fingertips. The price of all that progress is that it’s easier to get distracted than ever before. What we have to do is start by deciding what to do with our time. What are our values? I recently had a chance to speak with Phillip Agnew on Nudge, the Consumer Psychology Podcast, about this topic. We discussed the triggers that ultimately lead to distraction and how we can take back control of our lives by acknowledging and subsequently managing these triggers. Check out the full episode at the link in the comments below for “nudges” that we can use to become Indistractable. After listening, tag someone who you think should tune in as well and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments. #Indistractable #Nudge #ConsumerPsychology #HumanBehavior #Distraction …see more

So here's my take on the Technology Trends that will matter in 2020. I have had a chance to reflect on the key trends that manifested in 2019, some of the developments that we have been seeing from our vantage point at @ TransUnion and reflected on the trend forecasts from key market analysts. One of the underpinning threads in 2020 is that technology and digital have become a part of the base building blocks of every business and government. The focus in 2020 will be on how we partner with these technological advancements to create value for our businesses and for us as individuals to rediscover our humanity and the things that are most important to us. I would love to hear your views on this take of the trends! #TUTrends2020 #Purpose #Technology #Digital #TrendsThatMatter #AI #Augmentation #SolvingProblemsThatMatter #Humanity …see more

Do you frequently find yourself frustrated by your team's lack of understanding? Are you perplexed that your sales development efforts have fallen flat, even though you've specifically touted your product or service's credentials? Are your colleagues and clients not responding to your emails or calling you back? No matter your industry or profession, there are four words that when acknowledged and embraced have the power to completely change your results: It's not about you. Far too often, we assume that everyone thinks, behaves and communicates the same way we do. Worse, we make the mistake of focusing our sales pitches and communication about us, rather than our intended audiences. The finest leaders understand that by putting others first and adopting a service mindset, they can improve their communication and connection, and establish trust, deepen relationships and build business. By cultivating your awareness and empathy, you'll naturally adopt an "it's not about you" frame of mind and improve your communication and connection with others. #communication #connection #mindset #leadership #awareness #empathy …see more

This is just so incredibly humbling. Since joining in 2012 – I've probably 'shared' a total of 5 posts on LinkedIn. This one is a must. My life has completely transformed over the past two years and that's awesome; but what is even more incredible is seeing the lives of others transform as well. This is why I create content. This is why I started a storytelling company. This is why I wake up every day. Adam Braatz you're an incredible dude.
