//“PAST IS PAST“

“Past is past and life continues.“

So simple, so true, those words by Ronaldo, but for many so hard to accept.

That leads to people and corporates getting stuck in old patterns.

That leads to negative failure culture because people struggle with past mistakes.

But sometimes it’s exactly those “mistakes“ that lay the cornerstone to your success road.

For this, you need to be ready for pain and constant work.

Which is true for everybody out there, if they want to achieve they goals and even more.

Thank you for these inspiring words, Ronaldo.

Who has inspired you on your success path?

//AND THEN YOU WIN

People talk a lot about innovation.

While lacking the most important thing:

The readiness to do the unexpected.

The readiness to enter uncharted territories.

Because that’s what it needs to surprise and win.

That’s what real innovators have.

Doing the same things like everybody else can do a lot.

But it will never surprise.

What else do you think it needs in innovation?

//THE FUTURE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

The future is closer than you may think or want to believe.

It is unfolding faster than you imagine.

Don't miss the opportunity to shape it.

To create the world you want to live and work in.

Humans and robots are coming closer than ever — what do you think about this new reality?

//LET THEM TRY

While digitalization is advancing rapidly, both individuals and organizations often struggle to keep up.

This isn’t just due to resistance to change, which we still encounter all too often.

A big reason lies in the fact that tools are sometimes purchased without truly fulfilling their intended purpose — or worse: They make things more complicated than they were before.

But what if employees had the chance to assemble their toolkit in a way that best suits their work and their individual needs?

From something as simple as a hammer designed for left-handed users to advanced AI tools tailored to their tasks?

Why not give employees access to tools that enable them to work at their very best?

After all, when people enjoy using their tools, they’re also more motivated.

And let’s be honest: When it comes to AI and similar technologies, it takes time for people to build the necessary skills and confidence to use them effectively.

Moreover, new technologies often come with a degree of hesitation or fear.

In my opinion, companies can address this by giving employees the freedom to assemble their own toolkit — where possible — perhaps even by providing an individual and flexible software budget.

This approach can inspire people to engage more deeply with tools like AI.

Internal competitions could be a great way to further boost motivation, too.

What do you think of this idea?

Or do you know of companies that have already implemented similar approaches to the introduction of new technologies?

We need to talk about sugar

About sugar and its effects on the human body.

Not only children in the US consume more sugar than it’s recommended by the WHO – with dramatic effects on their physical and mental health state.

Already with their breakfast, they exceed their daily sugar limit.

That daily overdose causes several serious issues like metabolic complications, systemic and mental health complications. and even societal complications.

Sugar – a primary driver of ADD and depression?

Doesn’t that sound dramatic? Yes, it does.

In a study, 43 children with obesity and metabolic syndrome were not allowed to consume any aded sugar – with impressing results.

In fact, everything got better.

Isn’t that a very good reason to find alternatives to sugar bombs?

We think so.

That’s why we’re happy to see that the Food and Beverage Industry, among them a lot of great startups, react – in order to contribute to people’s health with products doing without added sugar.

What healthy alternative have you come across and what is your experience with sugar consumption?

/AIRBAGS FOR MORE WORKPLACE SAFETY

According to the US National Safety Council, “falls to a lower level is the third leading fatal workplace event and the fifth leading event resulting in both DART and DAFW cases.“

DART = Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred

DAFW = Days Away From Work

With these Airbag Safety Vests, serious injuries caused by falling from low heights can be prevented.

This innovation doesn’t only make work safer, but saves a lot of money and trouble, too.

Workplace safety is an issue that still needs to be solved in many respects.

We think SKYLOTEC GmbH did a great job here.

//FIGHTING FLOODS

Fighting floods has become an increasing issue due to global warming.

A new technology developed by NOAQ makes it possible to react quickly and flexibly in the event of floods.

Those mobile flood barriers can be easily transported, stored and reused countless times.

As global warming will remain an issue at least in the near future, the NOAQ Flood Protection AB Flood Fighting System is an effective way to protect your property and yourself against floods.

What other effective flood barrier systems do you know?

//FORGET ABOUT INNOVATION LABS

Forget about innovation labs as keys to successful innovation.

Instead, look how this guy called Pedro modifies a shovel by adding a second handle.

That way, he makes his work easier by also reducing the strain on his back.

The latter cannot only cause pain, but serious back issues and also increase injury rates.

With simple means, Pedro’s innovation makes shoveling so much easier.

That’s why we think it’s worth going viral.

But what does he actually teach us about innovation?

Pedro shows once more that innovation needs genius minds and a doer mindset.

Yes, innovation labs can bring together genius minds.

What they won’t do is getting things done, if those genius minds don’t have doer mindsets.

Your thoughts?

//SAILING NEXT LEVEL

Doesn’t looking at this video make you feel like instantly putting on a wetsuit to experience sailing at a whole new level?

And isn’t it amazing to watch Paul Farien and see what innovation is also here for?

Creating amazing experiences.

And that’s what also your customers finally buy: great experiences.

Innovation starts with a clear vision of the experiences you want to create and the stories you want to tell.

//WHAT EMPLOYEES SAY ABOUT STEVE JOBS

People may tell you a lot about themselves. They may make a lot of promises.

But what if those speak whose opinions are based on facts and their own experiences?

Just like in this 1984 documentary, where some of Apple's first employees describe how they experienced Steve Jobs as a leader.

"The greatest people are self-managing - they don’t need to be managed.

Once they know what to do, they’ll go figure out how to do it.

What they need is a common vision.

And that’s what leadership is: having a vision, being able to articulate that so that people around you can understand it.

And getting a consensus on a common vision.“

To lots of people, Steve Jobs was a debatable character.

But what he says about leadership and vision is not arguable.

And neither is his image as a visionary genius.

And that’s what attracted people to become part of his vision to “make extremely cool products that are simple to use, easy to understand, and made with great aesthetics.“

Strong leaders have clear and strong visions.

What is yours?

//TOPICS THAT WILL MAKE CORPORATES FAIL

* If they are not solved

* If there are no answers or no answers are found.

#1 Communication

#2 Leadership

#3 Corporate Culture

These topics are more important than ever, more interdependent than ever.

The success and growth of your business will, therefore, increasingly depend on whether and how these issues are resolved, with communication playing a central role in your game.

Communication that clarifies, builds trust, and connects people.

No – communication is not everything. But without communication, everything is nothing.

And that’s why you shouldn’t leave it to chance, but make it a cornerstone of your corporate strategy.

Your thoughts?

//SHOW. DON’T TELL.

So many New Year’s resolutions, so many goals.

Some of them in people’s minds, others nicely and smartly presented in vision boards and PowerPoint slides.

What they all have in common: They are only of value, if they are implemented.

People will tell you you’re crazy.

But you’re only crazy until you succeed.

Your talent, your motivation, your attitude will finally make you succeed.

„Dreams are not who you see in your sleep. Dreams are things which do not let you sleep. So don’t tell people your dreams. Show them.“

Do it like Ronaldo. Show. Don’t tell.

Do it now.

What a great starter into a year of countless opportunities.

//SMART LIGHTING FOR A SAFER WORKPLACE

There are workplaces with a higher frequency of accidents than usual.

As you can see here, the smart lighting by Progtech s.r.l. can help reduce them by indicating who has the right of way.

It can even be coupled with intelligent assistant systems that throttle the speed of forklifts etc.

When it comes to workplace safety, intelligent systems are real game changers.

What others do you know or do you think are still missing?

//SET TO REVOLUTIONIZE PATIENT CARE

With near-infrared technology, Christie Medical Holdings, Inc's
Vein Viewer illuminates vascular structures underneath the skin.

This enables practitioners to insert needles without any unnecessary poking around.

What a big relief for patients and healthcare personnel.

Less frustration, less fear, less time.

That’s a real game changer.

//BIOPLASTIC BREAKING DOWN WITHIN 6 WEEKS

We have a global waste issue.

That’s why we are always happy to hear about solutions like this one developed by UK student Lucy Hughes.

Her plastic is made from fishing waste such as fish scales and algae.

“MarinaTex“ is not only free from toxins, but also stronger than e.g. a standard plastic bag.

It may seem unbelievable, but with the waste from a single Atlantic Cod you can produce 1,400 bags.

To us Lucy Hughes’ innovation is a real game changer when it comes to dealing with an issue that cannot and must not be ignored.

What promising innovative projects that help tackle waste issues have you come across?

//WE NEED NO SAFETY BELTS

“At least, they are not really needed in urban traffic“, the first man in the interview says.

And the second says he would never buy one, because he may drop a cigarette and not reach it, while wearing a safety belt.

Times change.

And as times change, people know better.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 56 % of all traffic fatalities occur in urban areas.

You know today that more people are seriously injured or killed in car crashes, if they don`t wear a safety belt.

And people know about the damaging effects of smoking. In some European countries smoking in cars is banned anyway – one worry less.

If those days wearing a seat belt was crazy to many people, it is crazy to many people not to war one nowadays.

Bottom Line:

Time will tell how valuable an idea actually is.

Everything that is old today used to be new once and often needed time to be accepted, to become something no one would want to live without anymore.

What other crazy idea you know that turned out to be a blessing?

//APPROACHABILITY – A KEY TO SUCCESS?

Look at this video, where you see iconic Usain Bolt giving a fist bomb to a young volunteer, taking his time to have a little chat with him.

While getting ready to run, he is in touch with even more volunteers around.

You can feel the energy between one another.

You can see how kind, humble, and approachable that World Champion is.

In fact, it’s also approachability that makes people like him so popular.

And it’s also their approachability and down-to-earth mentality what builds trust.

Trust, the relationship builder that attracts people – in private and business contexts.

That’s why approachability is key to the success of so many brands and corporates.

The approoachability that encourages people to turn to you when they need support while facing a challenge.

Thus, lots of businesses would be more successful if they were more approachable.

Do you agree?

//INTRODUCING THE TOILET OF TOMORROW

In some places, toilets turn out to be a nightmare so that you’d rather pull yourself together and wait for a better opportunity to let go.

This self-cleaning revolving toilet by SaniTronics - openbare toiletsystemen eases the pain of those disgusted by dirty public toilets.

While the floor is being washed, the toilet is prepared for cleaning.

The used toilet is then switched out with a fresh one to keep the restroom operational.

Once the switch is complete, the first toilet is power-washed, ready to be used again.

Quite cool, isn’t it?
