Confused about the difference between mission and vision? or between purpose and mission? You’re not alone. I am frequently asked about the difference between mission vision purpose strategy and goals, and where do values fit? Most people don’t care about definitions, and that’s unfortunate.

What we were taught in high school science, F = MA , force = mass times acceleration, also describes the physics of innovation.

I love meeting with friends and colleagues over lunch. There’s something about an informal atmosphere that inspires me way more than an office or conference room. Even if the topic starts out or turns serious, I find it’s easier for conversation to flow and connection to happen at a café or restaurant. Going out for a meal to meet is great, at least until the check arrives.

Guest post from Pam Didner : When I speak at conferences, I frequently talk to young marketers.

What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
