Apple's new HomePod is so good it made me angry. It is an astonishing piece of audio hardware but unless you already use Apple Music, or you're prepared to abandon your chosen music streaming service (AND switch to an iOS device if you're currently on Android), then Apple are very happy for you to be left out of their cool audio nerds club. If you want to join the club, you must first bend the knee to Apple Music. And I refuse to bend the knee. …see more

Feel like the next few years of self driving cars will bring about fewer but much more avoidable deaths.

The three best things you can say to a speaker... (Besides "yes we have budget" LOL): 1. "You gave us a new way to name a problem" 2. "We can take real action from this advice" 3. ... this (see video) Thank you Ashley Blais and congratulations on your recent promotion! …see more

The rise of #influencer #activism in Adweek : “The world has shifted. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and rising conversations about social justice, a younger generation is craving authenticity and action, challenging what we want to hear from influencers and when.” “Influencers who take a social stand should be seen as a strategic asset, not a liability. For years, brands have grappled with how to communicate their purpose and enlisted talent to spread their message. Today, influencers are flipping the model by choosing brands that align with their values.” …see more

Tandoori chicken is a mouth-watering dish. And it’s a delicious achievement when it’s done well. But it takes a thoughtful blend of ingredients, developed and refined over time, the right equipment, tasting, testing, and continually striving to create a perfect, memorable experience. I recently learned this is exactly how Nitin Sethi , Executive of the Year winner in the 2020 #AdobeExperienceMakerAwards , approaches his role. “When a family comes together to make a dish, everybody contributes,” he says. “That’s what a digital journey is. Everybody needs to contribute and do their part.” As the vice president of digital at IndiGo Airlines, Sethi is like a chef on a continual quest for the perfect dish.

New article in HBR from Lily Zheng who is consistently out here doing GREAT work: "Take a stance. Corporate Social Justice is not a feel-good approach that allows everyone to be heard, and by nature it won’t result in initiatives that will make everyone happy. The first step that many companies have taken by publicly supporting Black Lives Matter through public statements and donations is an example of that: a commitment to taking a stance, even if it alienates certain populations of consumers, employees, and corporate partners. The company must decide that it is okay with losing business from certain groups (say, white supremacists or police departments), since taking money from those groups would run counter to its #CorporateSocialJustice strategy." https://lnkd.in/gXFep85 …see more

"If a business had a problem with sales, the response would not be to hire someone to lead the company in deep conversations about how fervently the company cares about sales and put on programming for National Celebrate Sales Month. The business would gather the evidence, establish metrics, and keep trying different things until it achieved its sales goals." !!! https://lnkd.in/dEnsPrM …see more
