DeRosaWorld Here is the entire speech... It's a humdinger: Mr. Vice President, Mr. metacool A few of my Principles for Innovating are more popular than others. When I give a talk on those principles, the first six are received with a lot of enthusiasm, which is to be expected, because they're all about design thinking, always an empowering subject.

NEWS January 11, 2014 by Peter · The chasm between the real Hillary Clinton and the unseemly caricature portrayed during two decades of personal attacks is all too familiar to those who know her.

Word of Mouth Research Blog WOMMA is strategically focused on providing research knowledge and insights for its members and the public. The Research & Measurement Council, created in 2005, has been driving projects, education, and guides around the measurement of word of mouth marketing and social media marketing.

This inspired quite possibly the industry's most transformative study which will be launched in mid-2014 which set out to quantify the value of word of mouth marketing.

For the purpose of our models we utilized data from a top-25 metro market and hypothesized that the sole daily newspaper had ceased publication.
