Jeep Wrangler: Trailblazing The 'Burbs
Jeep Wrangler: Trailblazing The 'Burbs
by Karl Greenberg, Jun 1, 2012
http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/175970/jeep-wrangler-trailblazing-the-burbs.html?edition=47533
Personal Comment:
Jeep had and enjoyed a longtime following in the urban markets back in the 80’s and early nineties, then came the Escalade push with the hip hop / urban market boom. Jeep is reaching out and getting back in touch with it.
Who knows what DJ's tracks have the phrase, "Valley of the Jeep Beats" and another, "50,000 booming watts!" Jeep has been apart of the urban hip hop landscape well before they knew they actually knew they where involved...
Where Scion went headstrong with hip hop to reach the urban markets, Jeep is taking pro-sports approach with basketball and its urban appeal without the direct connection. While the category is always the same, there is always different approaches and a new set of sub-rules in this category that is effected by new buyers as they are smarter, savvy and more connected through digital media.
Jeeps was originally chosen by the urban market for its affordable utilitarianism and that is what Escalade came and took. Now Jeep wants it back!
WinterX games just adds a whole new level with global appeal!

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.
