Have you read Crossing the Chasm - the Go-to-Market bible for high tech leaders for over 30 years?Crossing the Chasm, written by Geoffrey Moore, was first published in 1991 introduced the Technology Lifecycle Adoption Framework.The basic concept of Crossing the Chasm is that there are five stages in the Technology Lifecycle Adoption curve, and each stage has a specific "buyer profile" at each stage of adoption:Stages of the Product Lifecycle Adoption Curve:Innovators - Get excited about the technology itselfEarly Adopters - Will bet early on the technology to gain competitive advantageTHE CHASM - The critical cross-over point from a niche market to a large addressable marketEarly Majority - Not genuine believers in technology - much more focused on a high priority problem Late Majority - Must be convinced the herd has already adopted and the ease of implementation and adoption outweighs the riskLaggards - The last phase of tech adoption - the goal is to neutralize, not convince them to changeBuyer type for each stage of the Technology Lifecycle Adoption Curve:Technology Enthusiasts - The first people to adopt any new technologyVisionaries - Have the insights to match up emerging tech to strategic opportunityPragmatists - Looking for incremental improvement versus innovation with higher riskConservatives - Believe more in tradition/status quo versus discontinuous innovationSkeptics - Believe new technology is synonymous with unintended consequencesBowling Alley - the strategy to increase the probability of success when crossing the Chasm to penetrate the early majority Knock over the first "use case" and then move to adjacenciesSame use case in a different industryDifferent use cases in the same industryThe first focal point of the bowling alley requiresWhole productWord of mouth community which requires 4-5 customers in the same industry as advocatesInside the Tornado - Result of increasing awareness of a technology segment + budget exists for this category. A great example - Conversational IntelligenceThe breadth of the vendors' ecosystem is critical to becoming the leader inside the Tornado.MainStreet - the stage where the majority of potential buyers knows they need to invest in this category The stage of Cloud and SaaS adoption todayConservatives have a lot of power in this stage - and ensuring customer success and business value received is critical to continued growth. How to manage a business at each stage of a company or products adoption curve?Zone Management - governs the management model at each stage of product adoption:Performance Zone - Main Street market with predictable growth measured by revenue growth, margins, and market shareProductivity Zone - process focused on improving the efficiency of every function to optimize profitability.Incubation Zone  - Represents the start-up mindset and is about establishing Product Market Fit and "Power" in the marketplace by winning real customers and beating the competition.Transformation Zone - Basically conducting open-heart surgery on your existing business because the world has changed and your product is viewed as yesterday's news.Geoffrey Moore and his book Crossing the Chasm are legends in the technology industry marketing landscape. The principles from Crossing the Chasm are as effective in the Cloud in 2021 and beyond as they were when the book and framework were first published!

This is the story of an athletic prodigy. It's also the story of how setbacks become catalysts for change, how determination fuels a dream, and how a drive for adventure can evolve. And it is a story of risk-taking, mountain life,  and personal reflection that characterize what it takes to ski and fly in the backcountry. For pro-skier Caite Zeliff, the derailing of her career as a ski racer was an opportunity to reconnect with herself and become the athlete she was always meant to be.  At 12, Caite Zeliff has started a ski racing career that brought her all over the world. She ascended, she earned a scholarship to a boarding school, she won titles, she received an invitation to the US Ski Team – and she also was rejected, blew out her knee, and burned out – all by age 20. When the U.S. Ski Team invitation didn't come, and she blew out her knee while racing for the University of New Hampshire, she left college and headed westward in search of big mountains and powder. It was in Jackson Hole, WY, where Caite found her true calling – freeskiing.Paragliding. Thanks to COVID and an idea inspired by a soaring raven, Caite decided to learn to paraglide. She continually pushes herself to the edge of her comfort zone. Paragliding is a wild sport, one that challenges Caite in all kinds of ways. It requires slowing down and a constant awareness of the situation. Caite is constantly looking for challenge and currently obsessed with understanding how to strengthen the relationship with the wing, moving air and gravity. This risk-taking mentality has built her a career as a professional freeskier. Beyond winning Jackson Hole's Kings and Queens of Corbet's twice, Caite has starred in films like Warren Miller's Timeless (2019) and Teton Gravity Research's Make Believe (2020), and Stoke the Fire (2021).  Topics Include:Caite's journey from ski racer to professional freeskierViewing “failure” as an opportunityWrestling with an inner obsession for achievementShifting focus from the outcome to the processProcessing childhoodTaking risks and stepping out of comfort zonesFinding your voice as a female in a male-dominated industryThe transformational power of women supporting womenLearning to fly and a shifted mindsetAnd other topics...Caite Zeliff grew up skiing in North Conway, New Hampshire. She now lives in Jackson Hole where her career as a professional freeskier began.

prolonged droughts in Spain, flooding, late hail, hydric stress (leading to worse wildfires), late-season heat spikesMeasuring GHG emissions - Scope 1-3 definitionScope 1 - direct emissions - e.g., fuel burnt in winery vehicles, gas used in boilers, CO2 usageScope 2 - indirect emissions from purchase of electricityScope 3 - indirect emissions from purchased goods and services - e.g., packaging, logistics, waste disposal of bottles, etc.…Scope 1&2 are ~20-25% of GHG emissions, Scope 3 -

How would your customers describe their experience with your firm?Please take a moment and rate the Customer Experience (CX) that you believe you deliver:Better than all companies in any industryThe best in our industryConsiderably above average in our industrySlightly above average in our industryAverage for our industrySlightly below average in our industryConsiderably below average in our industryNow, what CX would you like to deliver within 3 years?[Credit: Temkin Group Q1 2017 CX Management Survey]Data: Q1 2017 CX Management Survey of 180 organizations with $500 million or more in annual revenuesAccording to Aimee Lucas, Customer Experience Transformist and VP at Temkin Group, 55% of all the companies surveyed want to be best in their industry or better than all companies in any industry when it comes to the level of CX they deliver they deliver within three years. That's a big crowd wanting to get into a small, small slot.As Aimee and I caught up at the recent North American Employee Engagement Awards it became crystal clear: it's time to stress the connection between Employee Engagement (EE) and CX. Now.Customers today have a louder voice (think Yelp and other rating sites), have access to more information on you and your competitors, and as a result expect an increasingly awesome experience. And they should.Meanwhile your competitors are launching new products and services faster than ever before, and are consistently raising the bar on CX. And they should.So what's an organization to do?Arm yourself with these 3 CX-Boosting Strategies!3 CX-Boosting Strategies1) Become A CX Leader — By Focusing First On EmployeesCX leaders (companies whose CX is significantly better than their competitors) have more engaged employees. Here's what Temkin Group found:[Credit: Temkin Group Employee Engagement Benchmark Study, 2017]Base: 5,552 U.S. consumers employed in for-profit organizationsHow exactly does engagement work? What happens in the brain when we are engaged?Engagement comes from feeling good, from passion for the company, from meaningful work, from attaching part of one's identity with their job. And this comes down to some neurotransmitters and a hormone. As leaders when we intentionally help the brains of our employees to generate dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin we create good feelings for the organization. Dopamine (anticipation of reward) and serotonin (feeling good, well-being) and oxytocin (bonding, feeling connected to others) can be created via a number of programs in your Cultural GAME Plan.So how do you become a CX leader and get engaged employees? This is where HR comes in…2) Get HR To Connect EE And CXHR owns the cultural programs, so it's key that they are first looped into Employee Engagement (EE) so they can help support CX. First a strong mission, vision, values sets the tone for your tribal purpose and code of conduct (oxytocin). Next, acknowledging employees for being models of your values creates social validation (dopamine and serotonin). There are many more ways that you can read about in my many blogs on employee engagement and in #3 below.Next, when HR runs regular SBM Indexes, you can easily diagnose and cure and engagement dis-eases so you can continuously raise your engagement bar. It matters, it's a reflection of them and what they believe in, who they are, how they show up in the world.According to Temkin Group's research when HR is significantly involved in CX the organization is 50% more likely to be a CX leader. Wow.Is HR involved in CX at your organization?Credit: [Temkin Group 2016 HR Professionals Survey]Which brings us to the next item to check on our list, specifics for creating EE and CX.3) Clarify Exactly How/Where HR Can Support EE And CXHere are some ways that HR can forge the EE-CX link…Employee communications – rich in safety, belonging, mattering and boosting positive feelingsEmployee training & new hire onboarding – see my blog on how to ensure key emotional touchpoints in the onboarding processPerformance motivation – learn how to create intrinsic motivation in this blogAwards, celebrations, incentives – learn how to celebrate and incent in these blogsEmployee listening programs – learn how to be a better listener in this blogMiddle manager engagement efforts – learn how to engage leaders and the cost of low leader engagement in this blogRecruiting & hiring processes – learn the latest way to recruit with self-revealing questions hereAll of the above examples and blogs will help you keep the brains of your employees in their Smart State, which will in turn help your customers spend more time there too!

Standing out in the market is the most important thing facing the real estate industry. What's the easiest way to go about doing that? The answer is simple: Your brand. A lot of people think it's your license, or your broker, or your lender, but it all comes down to your brand. Your brand is your persona and it defines what your presence is whether that be online or in person. If people resonate with your brand then they are more likely to converse with you and ultimately hire you and use you for their transaction.In this episode of the podcast we are going to go through the two main reasons why the significance of your brand matters and how to use it to your advantage when it comes to attracting clients. What I want to do is break down this idea in several different ways to give you strategies to start attracting. Let's be honest, what is the difference between you and every other real estate agent or lender in your market?

Crypto proves to be a formidable opponent as debate in the Senate continues.This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.Contention over the crypto provision in the infrastructure bill continues. Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW brings the latest, including:Consensus mechanism confusionA weekend stalemate The emergent power of the crypto industryThe amendment proposed by Sen. Rob Portman included an odd preference for proof-of-work over any other consensus mechanism. After significant pushback from the crypto community on this specific detail, the amendment was changed to cover all consensus mechanisms. But in a head-scratching turn of events, the amendment was updated once more to include proof-of-work and proof-of-stake, but no other mechanisms.Sunday came with its own set of blockers, including a conflict around prioritization of the crypto provision versus other legislation that needs attention. Though the weekend brought little resolution, the debate continues and there is still time for a positive resolution. Will policymakers come to an agreement on one of the proposed amendments in time?-NYDIG, the institutional-grade platform for Bitcoin, is making it possible for thousands of banks who have trusted relationships with hundreds of millions of customers, to offer Bitcoin.

“Once you've been through the worst thing that could happen to you and you don't die, it gives you an enormous amount of self-respect and confidence.” Today my guest is yet another fellow Australian, Bahar Etminan, who is founder and editor of Rescu, a digital magazine for women featuring curated content and advice on how to live a life more fabulous. The online collection of daily articles on style, substance and success, have been written and curated by experts in a variety of sectors from technology, personal finance and property to fashion, beauty and mindfulness. Bahar was a relatively early adopter of digital publishing technology in Australia and had to work incredibly hard to prove Rescu's place alongside Australia's once thriving print-dominated magazine market. Since then her business has had to continue to adapt to meet the ever-changing landscape as marketeers have shifted their advertising budgets from print to digital to social media and back again. Bahra talks about all the highs and lows of being a businesswoman, including how she lost everything in the Global Financial Crisis, and how she has managed to pivot her business post-pandemic by launching Rescu.Me Academy online courses.  “The Global Financial Crisis was the most traumatic experience of my life,” she says. “The trauma of that business stress stayed with me a good 5/10 years…but it gave me new strategies for how to read the signs earlier.”We also talk about: The effects of the pandemic on the publishing industryThe journey of agelessness and non-invasive aestheticsWhat treatments you should be having perimenopausal How online learning has become a trend of the pandemic that is here to stayBahar's top book recommendation – Lifespan by Dr David Sinclair Read Bahar and her team's excellent range of lifestyle content for women at rescu.com.au and watch their videos on YouTube.
