"These stories weren’t “creative destruction.” They were simply bad leadership. Decisions were made to do more of the same, when clearly something desperately different was needed! At the Harvard Business School Working Knowledge web site famed strategiest Michael Porter states “the granddaddy of all mistakes is competing to be the best, going down the same path as everybody else and thinking that somehow you can achieve better results.” Failure happened because the leaders were so internally focused they chose to ignore external inputs, trends, which would have driven better decisions!"
"It may sound ridiculous, but, company leaders, ask your brand where it wants to go. Seriously, ask it. Like the author whose characters are so deftly crafted in his mind that he can “ask” those characters what they want to do in the story next (and the characters will “speak” to the author), ask your brand where it wants to go and what it wants to do. If the brand is defined and potent enough, you may be surprised at what you’ll hear it “tell” you."

"Bands, very much like brands, have to promote themselves and make a profit. The difference is musicians are in it for the love. There is something genuine in music that people flock to.

"No, that’s not a photo of a flooded village. Rather, it’s of the city of Ganvié in the Republic of Benin, which calls itself “The Venice of Africa.” Kuriositas has the details on the history of this curious city:"
"Sweden is planning to connect its cities Lund and Malmö by building a cyclist superhighway stretching over 12.5 miles. The four-lane highway will be designed to follow alongside railway tracks and have fences and bushes in place to offer cyclists wind protection. Lund and Malmö are both cities with a strong bike culture. In Lund, 60% of the population either bike or use public transport to get one place to another. While in Malmö, cycling has increased 30% each year for the last four years. The bicycle superhighway is estimated to cost around 50 million Swedish crowns (US $7.1 million) and will take eight years to complete."
Can’t someone just tell them the fixie trend’s already gone and will be even more gone when this project is finished?
