New research out of MIT/Univ of Regina on #fakenews : "People often just don’t think critically enough about the information they encounter... Our research suggests that the solution to politically charged misinformation should involve devoting resources to the spread of accurate information and to training or encouraging people to think more critically. You aren’t doomed to be unreasonable, even in highly politicized times. Just remember that this is also true of people you disagree with." https://lnkd.in/eKEQvjZ …see more

FedEx CEO Fred Smith has repeatedly painted any notion of Amazon disrupting the logistics industry as “fantastical.” Yet another example of an incumbent dismissing a new player at their peril (see also Blockbuster and Netflix ). #Amazon #FedEx #Blockbuster #Netflix #disruption …see more

So, you never need to explain yourself; that's huge. #relationships #KellyeMedia #communication #work #career …see more

i do echo that sentiment. i think the US credit card business is so darn profitable that about every incumbent actor in payments does not want change, does not feel the need for change in the US. #payments #fintech …see more

setting aside the validity of the argument or its likelihood, such an economic situation will accelerate the demise of most banks and destroy the traditional banking models we are used to (already seriously ailing)

Think company culture doesn't matter? The Netflix high-performance culture is playing out even in areas where you might not expect it. One of the reasons creators are flocking to Netflix is because Netflix hires them and lets them create with minimal input from executives.

Which matters more, the right culture, or the right tech? I spoke to Richard George about his #adobeexperiencemakerawards win at Refinitiv , and our convo (link in comments) made me wonder.

But, what brought that innovation to life, what sustains it, and what facilitated such a remarkable transformation is this organization’s relentless focus on culture. Quoting Richard from our interview: “That was something we were very purposeful about from the get-go. We made sure that people were aligned around a shared purpose, and that they trusted each other to see that vision through.” Check out the link in the comments for key elements of this winning culture, and hear from Richard directly in our full conversation.
