LinkedIn Publishing has a very special place in my heart. I am a firm believer that LinkedIn is THE platform to develop a meaningful thought leadership and dialogues. So excited that I can take this personal passion and bring it into the industry. Looking forward to many more thought leadership from Kalpesh Kapadia (cc: Pat Nicholson ). Shoutouts to the LinkedIn team, Walden Siew Daniel Roth Maya Pope-Chappell , for developing such an intimate and engaging space for industry leaders to share their stories and experiences! …see more

I like this piece a lot. I don't know Faris well, but I know him well enough to know he's really really bloody smart ( and nice ) and that lots of people could probably use his and Rosie's help, if they have time.

Even the most advanced expensive polygraph tests don't in any way work at detecting lies, but they provide comfort in feeling proper, objective and hard precise data. Wrote this piece for Marketing Week about the flaws in current Data blinded approaches. …see more

I've been on the lookout for the next generation of eCommerce sites that move away from the incredible boring identikit world of the same white and black pages, and grids and stock imagery- the mere "Digitalization" of a catalog, and taking photos of products. Lovely to find this; a fun site, with fast loading video, some energy and imagination. "First we shape our tools, then they shape us"* , and now it's great to see what happens when brands are built for the age of Instagram and TikTok, not merely transposed from the false limitations and needs in traditional retail. Will be writing more on this on my upcoming White Paper and first piece for All We Have Is Now -"Rethinking Retail for 2020" *Marshal McLuhan …see more

My inbox is full to the brim with some of the greatest ironies you could ever imagine. Tom, you keep saying the media is sensationalized and whipping people into a frenzy, how can this be true when we KNOW this is by far the most deadly thing there has ever been. Saying the media is not giving us perspective will plunge trillions of people to the most agonizing of deaths, have you not been watching it? Tom, there really should not be a debate on this because the science is totally clear, all experts I've seen have the very same view. The time for a debate is when there seems to be some disagreement. The best one. Tom, I have such an open mind that I certainly am not prepared to poison it looking at a site with a logo I’ve not seen before. I'm curious, I challenge myself, but I won't let me attention drift to something I know won't possibly be correct. " Tom, all models are wrong , some are helpful, and these models were helpful in forcing us to do something drastic that definitely stopped something we know would have happened by it not happening. These models were perfect because the thing they said would happen, didn't happen" …see more

So what would your company look like if you built it today? Faced with disruptive technologies, new consumer expectations, and the advent of digital-first super-companies, your business will be left behind unless you act now. Digital Darwinism is your wake-up call that incremental change is not enough: adding technology at the edges and wrapping it in “innovation” just won’t work. In this provocative book, I explore change in the larger context of society, and how, throughout history, each time a new technology emerged, its power was entirely misunderstood. Digital Darwinism is a deep dive into what business leaders can do to thrive in the modern age. It lights a fire under complacency and offers a challenging new perspective on not only how to think about change—but how to actually make it happen.

Sharing some new thinking ( from my new book) at the D&AD in London. Tickets £10 or free to Members. 1st Feb.   Sorry my face is so big and annoying here, I'd rather it was a nice D&AD logo.

Millennials: 👉🏼 born between 1981 - 1996 👉🏼 most racially and ethnically diverse adult generation 👉🏼 first generation raised with the internet 👉🏼 early life defined by 9/11 👉🏼 not loyal to particular brands Gen Z: 👉🏼 born between 1996 - 2010 👉🏼 most educated generation in history 👉🏼 more likely to have college-educated parents 👉🏼 early life defined by school shootings 👉🏼 extremely progressive generation But knowing the difference between the younger generations is just the first step in knowing how to market to them. #millennialmarketing #genzmarketing #digitalnatives …see more

In just 60 days… 🔥A comedian broke Facebook's fundraising record…$40 million in 4 days. 🔥Life-saving diabetes medicine was delivered...via drone. 🔥A 3-D printer reduced homelessness...by printing an entire neighborhood. Yes, things are changing fast. But, look at how fast messages are scaling, new audiences are being reached, and brands being elevated. That can be you and your brand in 2020. In a b2c transaction, the consumer wants to avoid regret. In a b2b purchase, the buyer wants to avoid blame. If you want to grow the b2b side, elevate credibility and trust. That's where we come in. We boost awareness, trust, and reputation. As a result, market share swells and revenue surges. What could the next 60 days look like for you if you did things differently? Let’s chat so I can share a few ideas with you. Send me a DM. #B2B …see more

For #ThrowbackThursday , I spent much of the last day of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation #GrandChallenges 2019 conference supporting Nation Media Group journalist Elizabeth Merab as she prepped for an interview with the Director of The National Institutes of Health , Francis Collins. Elizabeth is a top #health and #sciencejournalist in #Kenya , and the opportunity to produce a Q&A feature for #NMG 's #EastAfrican newsweekly immediately vaults her to the top ranks of research reporters on the continent. But she also gave me an incredible gift after the interview ended. Elizabeth said she might not have pursued the interview if I hadn't nagged her into doing it! Sometimes, being a good mentor means being a bit overbearing and pushy! But when it comes to someone like Elizabeth, the effort is worth it. Her grasp of future initiatives to be undertaken by the #NIH and The African Academy of Sciences will make her a indisputable #sciencejournalism leader for #Africa . #AfricanMedia #scientificresearch #AfricanJournalism #healthresearch #mentoring #WomenInSTEM …see more

#16Days reflection: In my 57 years on this Earth, I have never been a victim of #genderbasedviolence . Not physical, sexual or psychological. Not even once. But as the poet, feminist and #civilrights activist Audre Lorde wrote, "I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't." #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #EndFGM #HearMeToo #OrangeTheWorld #gender #genderjustice …see more

It is so rewarding to work with a journalist thousands of miles away, and to see the fruits of your collaboration get such prominent placement. Thanks to Thembeka Dlamini of #eSwatini (formerly known as #Swaziland) for forwarding me her Sunday Observer coverage of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting Malaria Summit. It was an especially auspicious event for the tiny African nation, because it co-hosted the Summit along with #Rwanda. And I'm privileged to be able to support journalists like Thembeka in covering major international events. Malaria No More UK   #CHOGM2018 #ReadyToBeatMalaria #MalariaMustDie #HealthForAll …see more

Congratulations to Efosa Ojomo , who along with Harvard University Business School Professor Clayton Christensen and Karen Dillon received an offer from HarperCollins Publishers to write a book about #innovation, #development, #poverty, and #prosperity in the developing world.

#California went early and hard on #COVIDー19 #SocialDistancing . Based on CNN data, it looks like this has been very successful, up until now at least. You really need the per 100K pop stats, because CA is so big.
