#categorykings not a recent #phenomenon. Pre-1920 there was no #frozenfood category. Clarence Birdseye created it after watching 🇨🇦 #intuit people catch 🐟 & toss them across the ice flash-freezing them, retaining flavor & texture. He replicated this for vegies @PlayBiggerBook

@HarvardBiz - 37% of company value across all industries is lost due to poor strategy execution. And far too often, this loss of value forces businesses into decline and bankruptcy.

@HarvardBiz reports that executives in 3 out of 5 companies rate their businesses as weak at execution.

[Caitlin Iles @ms_iles]

Value doesn't lie in the IDEA but in EXECUTION. Despite this, strategy execution is continually rated as 1 of the most significant challenges by executives. A 2019 poll from @Gartner, confirms this: 75% of respondents rated strategy execution as their number one challenge.

COVID-19’s impact on our unemployment figures is well known. But the impact has been particularly hard on women, especially those who live outside our big cities. So an organisation called Global Sisters has its work cut out.

@MarisePayne @officeforwomen @helenmccabe @WomenInSTEMAu @MBA_Aust @Kate_Jenkins_ @BeamAustralia @NRWNetwork @ceda_news @EngAustralia @FutureWomen I hope self employment for women is on the agenda as a priority. Never before have women needed more flexible work options. As women represent >50% of Aus population supporting women is supporting economic recovery - look no further than the results @GlobalSistersAU

Lockdown forced scooterers off the streets & pushed the likes of #bird & #Uber to downsize. Early signs from Asia show that bike/scooter sharing may be the 1st transport companies to come back as consumers avoid subways etc. Investors are forging on @FortuneMagazine
