This is pretty amazing and something I thought was still years away. Singapore has approved lab-grown chicken from Eat Just, Inc. for sale as an ingredient. The first-ever meat sold that didn't come as a result of killing an actual animal. This is, of course, different than meat substitutes like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat in that Eat Just is selling actual meat. It will be fun to watch this industry grows as other companies are currently taking on growing seafood and beef. #eatjust #beyondmeat #labgrownmeat #chicken #futurefood #impossiblefoods #bioscience …see more

FBcoin needs to show its immune to fake news & audience manipulation, else lack of trust will make it stillborn. …see more

The newest crop of software applications turns this logic on its head. They mimic consumer companies by using technology as a “wedge" to gain widespread adoption, and don’t even try to become systems of record. Instead, they are "systems of engagement” (SoE), meaning apps that employees actually use to get their work done. …see more

Sales enablement itself is no longer the differentiator it once was. Most businesses are using these technologies and tools in some fashion, especially at the enterprise level. Today, the biggest differentiator is becoming formal and charter-based in sales enablement processes. …see more

“In a recent SiriusDecisions survey of more than 100 brand leaders at #B2B companies, 84% felt they had some documented brand purpose at their company. However, when we asked how they actually express #brand purpose, a very different picture emerged. Although significantly more than 50% promoted their brand purpose in #marketing campaigns, published it on their website, and included it in employee training, well below 40% put this into action by supporting external organization aligned to the brand or through ethical sourcing policies informed by their brand purpose. Clearly, it’s a challenge for most B2B companies to live up to their values.” Link below …see more
