Driving Talet & Methodology

Love this quote from Bruce Elfstrom of Overland Experts

"OEX shows people they can drive simple to "impossible" roads without ruining their vehicles, themselves, others, or the environment. The safe, effective and logical operation of an off-road or utility vehicle is not a simple skill, but one well worth obtaining. Places and people in the world that have taught me there is a way to drive and still push the envelope of your skills and vehicle, without ego or aggression. Operating off-road is a pragmatic skill set; for fun, or work… Take pride in your driving." A exceprt from Bruce Elfstrom CEO of Overland Experts.

The 13 Most Useless Majors, From Philosophy to Journalism

I read this little report:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2012/04/23/the-13-most-useless-majors-from-philosophy-to-journalism.html

My response:
Lets add the fact that without commercial art and graphic design, people would be carrying rocks in their pockets and purses. Someone had to come up with a "Philosophy" of paper + art = gold nugget. And someone had to create the "Architecture" of how this system would work as well as design the location of where to store said gold to equal designed paper to equal that gold, once upon a time ago...
Hummm, the fine art of all that drama!

Enhancing collaboration and employee engagement

Good Read: http://www.forbes.com/sites/haydnshaughnessy/2012/04/25/the-8-essentials-of-innovation/

Some highlights if you don’t get a chance to read it:

·         Lesson 3: The best innovators develop innovation programs with a market entry model attached. They see innovation as integral to their changing understanding of the market and they seek out support that helps them manage back and fore along the continuum.

·        #5. Enhancing collaboration and employee engagement: Companies like Bombardier report significant increases in employee engagement through the use of innovation – as distinct from the use of collaboration strategies. Innovation is inherently an engagement practice, though you have to be smart about managing that engagement, giving employees feedback and letting them know where their contributions are headed.

·         Lesson 7: You need a strategic options approach to innovation, otherwise the market will overtake you.

Carryology Interviews :: Kifaru

For our second Carry Conversation we asked Mel Terkla, one of the designers behind Kifaru's Tactical line, a few questions about Kifaru's place in the world of carry.

Kifaru is a Colorado-based manufacturer of high-end hunting, camping & tactical bags. Their Made-In-America packs, haulers, teepees and more are also 100% Berry Amendment compliant, which means that the raw materials and components of every bag are also made in the USA. We have one of theirXRay bags winging its way toward us as we speak, and we're looking forward to dishing out as much punishment to it as we dare.
