Applications open in January 2017 and the program will run in July 2017. I have a long history with Kansas City.

We want other people to like us. It’s a human desire. We also want other people to like our websites. If, on our site, we come across as likable, we tend to become more profitable. So, in conversion optimization, likability is an important and powerful psychological trigger. Likability is nebulous, though. What’s it mean and how can we optimize for it?

McKinsey have just released a report which predicts: that t he global revenue pool from car data monetization could be as high as $750 billion by 2030. That caught my attention for two reasons. Firstly $750bn is a truly huge market to come out on nowhere. For context Gartner predicts the wearables market will be $29bn this year (including Fitbit and smart watches).

Key lessons for young managers who lead a team. We’ve all seen our share of “How to Manage Millennials” posts, with older, “wiser” executives complaining about how hard it is to motivate this generation blah, blah, blah. I see far fewer posts directed at talented millennials who are already managers themselves. So that we don’t get too caught up defining generations, let’s just say this is a post about managing, but specifically for young founders and managers.

We’ve heard it before. We’ve probably said it before. It’s an all too common and not at all helpful framework for evaluating design: “I don’t know what I like until I see it.” Many entrepreneurs feel this way when writing a creative brief for a creative project. For most, it’s difficult to express your visual preferences in words, and even harder when you don’t know what those visual preferences are.

Historically, both markets and government policies have rewarded entrepreneurs, investors, and inventors for being more efficient with capital by reducing the costs of labor. And this approach has had huge social benefits. Increasingly efficient deployment of capital led to an abundance of goods and services that both increased human well-being and simultaneously created more opportunities for people to pursue a wider range of meaningful work.

Companies that successfullyleverage acqui-hires can save years of work and gain a competitive advantage by adding skilled technical and operational talent, deep local market knowledge and an accelerated time-to-market. However, not all acqui-hires are created equal, but there are numerous pre-deal considerations to ensure post-deal success.
