Crystal Hammon Living a greener lifestyle

People who cook outside and go to the bathroom inside baffled my grandfather. He had a contrarian’s view on many things, including progress: when you’ve come so far that you have to go out of the way to seem natural, something’s wrong, he figured. I can’t think about the green movement without wondering where he’d stand if he were alive today. As a lifelong farmer and outdoorsman who grew his own food and, yes, killed his own meat, would he be glad to see people interested in protecting the ear… Continue

Anthony Ware A penny for your thoughts...

A non-scientific review of Indianapolis business trends reveals that technology companies are growing despite the economy. Now, I'm not selecting the technology industry to suggest that everyone should switch to that industry. As a business consulting firm, we use technology but are far from a technology company. One of our partners, Dave Castor at Alerding Castor, keeps our team informed about technology. I just think that other industries can learn from the technology industry. Whether your… Continue

Tristan Schmid Who's leading animal welfare worldwide?

I’m not an eternal optimist. But my faith in the power of hope and courage is stronger than ever, thanks to leaders like Rob Stewart (shark advocate and creator of the film Sharkwater), Paul Watson (founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society), Jill Robinson (founder of Animals Asia Foundation), and Seth Godin (social-media guru and inspiration to leaders/heretics worldwide.)… Continue

Anthony Ware Economic Crisis and Job Creation

Typically, I use this business blogging forum to discuss corporate and NGO related topics. I wanted to take a moment to discuss something going right with the U.S. government. With all of the conversation surrounding lost jobs, one governmental agency is doing its part to help. That agency is the FBI. In two articles this week (CNNMoney.com and… Continue

Anthony Ware Strategic Planning and Communication

Currently, we are working on the completion of our planning session for 2009. I often remind our clients the lessons that can be learned from your peers in other industries. This especially can be true with regard to strategic planning. An excellent business blog, I have been following is Market Mine by Penny Herscher, CEO of FirstRain. Penny's blogs are informative and practical. In her most recent post, Startup to IPO: Building your annual plan, she mentions three points of emphasis for her t… Continue

Anthony Ware The sun is setting on 2008

It is often said that your reputation is defined by your community and the company you keep. As a global business consulting firm, we are fortunate to work with a phenomenal community consisting our clients and partners. Although the confidential nature of our relationsh… Continue

Anthony Ware Negotiation lessons from the military

I've been reading a few new books lately. While reviewing my notes from Thirteen Days by Robert F. Kennedy, I was reminded of the lessons that can and should be learned from alternate sources. In the book, a quote from Basil Liddell Hart is mentioned with regard to proper negotiations. "Keep strong, if possible. In any case, keep...S4X Blog.… Continue

Anthony Ware Global education in a new world economy

With all the doom and gloom news about the current global economy, I think there is not enough discussion about the education of the children who will and are growing up in this era of change. Global education issues continue to be impacted by a lack of funding sources. As a result, the youth will be impacted without even having an opportunity to assist with solving the problem. Corporations and governments are concerned about the quick fix for the current problems without investing in the rea… Continue

Chris Baggott Fuel Conservation can be easy and effective...but are the savings wasted?

So this cartoon may be a little quaint in the price of gas, but the message is right on. High gas prices trigger the right conservation effect. Today the price of a barrel of oil hit $162 down 57% from July. Why? Because high prices have triggered the right behavior… Continue

Chris Baggott My New Jetta Diesel

Ok, so this isn't the typical new car glamor shot :-) But the primary feature of the new VW Jetta Diesel is this dashboard. Rather than the Speedometer front & center, my focus is drawn to my Miles Per Gallon. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo (I was driving) but this sho… Continue

Anthony Ware Globality and emerging markets in your backyard

I just read an article discussing, GLOBALITY: Competing with Everyone from Everywhere for Everything, a book by Harold L. Sirkin, James W. Hemerling and Arindam K. Disadvantaged. In this book they discuss the nature of a true global economy and how the companies from the emerging markets are competing on a global scale. This article made me think about the untapped emerging markets in the United States. While we praise the small business owner, we are… Continue

Nicki Laycoax I Finally Got a SmartPhone-What the Heck Do I Do With All this Stuff?

I finally broke down today and got the PDA phone that I narrowed my search down to after 3 months of pre-qualifying phones. It was down to the AT&T Tilt, Samsung Blackjack, and the one that I purchased today, the Moto Q9 Global.

I got it because I'm out… Continue

Anthony Ware New to SI and thought I would share with the group

In the short time that I have been on SI, I have been impressed by the level of interaction between the members. I thought I would share with SI one of my sources of inspiration. It is called TED. By sharing these videos, I am following the tag line for TED - "Ideas Worth Spreading". If you have heard about the organization, then you can let the other folks on SI know your thoughts. I find the TED Talks to be very thought-provoking and energizing. The talks can be found at www.ted.com. My curre… Continue

Bruce Allen On Global Warming and more...

Dear Bruce-- What do you think is the salient difference between today’s Americans and the Americans of the mid-2oth century, the so-called Greatest Generation? –Flummoxed in Fortville Dear Flummoxed– We gotta say you are one clever linguist, sticking that “salient” right there in the middle of your kinda ho-hum question. It just so happens that we have a bee in our bonnet during this primary season, and feel the need to vent. Please allow us to oversimplify. In America… Continue
