Reclaiming brand durability, sustainability and prosperity The long-standing relationship between people and brands is broken. You see it every day in the level of cynicism, scepticism and indifference that people have toward many brands, in many interactions. Then there is the fact that brands are not delivering what people want. Meaningful Brands®is the first global analytical framework to connect human well-being with brands at a business level.

Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

Judith Clegg: How Start-Up Culture Can Change the World As the start-up community knows, the only way out of chaos and uncertainty is to innovate. Within this community there is always a way to make things better, and the worse a situation gets, the harder they work to find a creative solution. Start-up culture comes with an attendant set of values, where doing something that matters is important, and where making a positive contribution can be more fulfilling than money or status (although, of course, the three can come together). It is a culture where you 'succeed' by working as a team: sharing ideas, being open and listening to criticism. I believe that big businesses and institutions should take notice and apply that powerful and positive force for change more widely. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I wonder what life would be like if institutions took on some of these ways of working and values? I know -- it all sounds a bit utopian. It is time for change.
