Some solid writing advice from Nandini Jammi here. I would just add that knowing your brand position (brand promise, attributes, and story) is a critical component to steering how and what you write so that it doesn't just 'win' but builds brand too.

While brands continue to figure out voice, Jeff Ski Kinsey and his cohorts have figured out a great application for it - market research. Congrats on the launch of SurveyLine, Jeff!

Old-and-New Fangled Ways Help Thwart Suicides These are tricky times for sure, but it seems times have been difficult for awhile for many, if you view suicide rates as a direct expression of ‘difficult times.’ For more than a decade, health officials have watched in vain as suicide rates climbed steadily — by 30 percent nationally since 2000. Doctors have traditionally gauged patients’ risks by looking at past mental health diagnoses and incidents of substance abuse, and by drawing on experience and medical instinct. But doctors and mental health experts can’t crack the code when it comes to identifying which patients are in real danger. Turns out that AI programs explore more factors and allow healthcare professionals to identify more at-risk patients. Very good news indeed. But identify people is only half the equation...the other half—arguably the most critical half—is who is most likely to profit from an intervention...and be open to the help. Reaching people to communicate that they are not alone nor misunderstood, can happen whether the old fashioned ways or new-fangled ways... The critical element is to reach people...using AI and other predictive capabilities certainly can help reach more people and is the finest use of technology that I can contemplate. …see more

Interesting piece on how Arianna Huffington sets priorities. "decisions about what to prioritize, like all decisions you make as a leader, required a combination of data and gut. It's very important for leaders to realize that it's not all data-driven."
progress compounds. technology change is accelerating. yet, to most, progress in financial services remains elusive. banks are still around, some are very profitable. most startups have failed to disrupt the industry head on. dig deeper to realize change crawls in finserv (because regulation, because regulatory capture), that many banks are structurally unsound , out of touch with younger generations and living off of their legacies. for every JPMorgan, DBS, ING or Goldman, there are thousands of zombies. …see more
