35 great ex of parallax scrolling websites Today's advanced web technologies make it possible to create remarkable effects in the browser. While these effects can be gimmicky, when employed in the right way they can result in a distinctive and memorable website. One fairly recent web design trend is parallax scrolling, which involves the background moving at a slower rate to the foreground, creating a 3D effect as you scroll down the page.

Who We Are - Telosity In recent years, we have been tracing the path of a series of social, generational and technological trends - ones like the advent of social media, the internet revolution which is democratizing information, the array of Benefit Corporations springing up, the concept of “shared value,” the Occupy Movement, millennials and their quest for meaning at work, a burgeoning “sharing economy,” and the list goes on, (but you can read more about that in the book). These trends suggest that a set of “new realities” are engulfing and reshaping the business landscape, ones that are quickly ushering in a “new normal” which will in turn require a new model for the company, even a new “theory of the firm.” Telosity is what we have begun to call the business response required by the coming “new normal.” Telosity describes the intentional movement of an organization toward “living out” a meaningful Purpose expressed with Authenticity through Culture and Brand.
