 “BYOD” (bring your own device) is becoming a popular policy in the workplace and educational institutions. It provides the power to access institutional computing resources from your own device. With it comes an important shift on college campuses: Most people don’t go to computer labs to use computers. Wireless access allow students to use their own laptops, tablets and phones to get online almost anywhere.

When it comes to product design, companies must balance four competing goals: cost, time to market, feature set, and reliability. The key is to get the right mix and create the greatest customer satisfaction with the product. Too often, however, companies downplay the importance of reliability when weighed against the other three goals. They prioritize cost, time to market, or ...

We consistently emphasize that we can achieve the most favorable results for our clients with the benefit of time, meaning we want to work with clients as far as possible before they reach crisis mode. We know, however, that there is a general resistance to taking action.

Recently I had the pleasure of hearing Converse’s CMO Geoff Cottrill speak at a Boston Ad Club event.  His approach to marketing is exactly where brands should be as content marketing evolves and we move into the social era.  Converse does some traditional advertising, but it is not central to their brand promise or customer engagement strategy.  Their approach dovetails nicely with this HBR blog post explaining how in the social age, media pipes are less important, and people are the channel.  This...

Google’s Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT) study shows that shoppers visit 14 information sources on average prior to making a purchase. With the cost of customer acquisition climbing year-over-year, retailers are increasingly seeking to reach customers...

The Supreme Court’s decision in Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356 (2010), established that a defendant in a criminal case has a constitutional right to be informed of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea. If the defendant’s attorney fails to inform the defendant of such consequences, the defendant may have grounds to move to have the plea vacated.

The Padilla decision was a narrow ruling that left many issues unresolved. It was the state courts, facing a growing number of applications...

Is Your Workplace Conducive to Innovation?

May 02, 2013

 

By BNMC Engineering

How is your workplace set up? Are there rows and rows of cubicles? Do they have walls? Do only a few select people have offices? Do people across job functions randomly eat together in the cafeteria or do departments stay separate? Does spontaneous collaboration and innovation happen at the water cooler or in the elevator?
