Technology has been transforming the business enterprise for several decades. First it was the finance department, when paper ledgers were replaced by digital spreadsheets and databases. In manufacturing, we had supply chain management. Human resources and payroll were automated and data-based. Customer service functions were transformed by call center management software, then CRM. Sales organizations were supported by sales force automation systems, then CRM as well.

A company’s relationship with its customers is about much more than improving product ratings or decreasing wait times. Understanding the customer journey is about learning what customers experience from the moment they begin considering a purchase, and then working to make the journey toward buying a product or service as simple, clear, and efficient as possible.
Data and analytics capabilities have become a top priority for businesses, with many organizations using the discipline to help gain a competitive advantage and improve the customer experience.

Motherhood stages are not created equal. I find it troubling when the term “mom” is all-encompassing and when “moms” are viewed as a singular unit. The transformation from when I had my first daughter 10 years ago to my son two and half years ago is astounding. As a first-time mom I made all my baby food, nursed until she was 12 months and took sign language classes. Conversely, my third child was bottled-fed, ate jarred baby food and his only sign language has come from watching “Sesame Street.” And I’m okay with it.
We have a saying at our agency that goes, “Don’t just take brands to the event, make brands the event.” The first time you read it, it can feel like the sort of silly too-clever marketing lyricism that most people roll their eyes at when it comes from anyone but Don Draper. But the truth is, there’s a good deal of sincerity behind it. Today’s consumers — call them millennials, if you really, really have to — value doing over owning. That is a conclusion reached time and time again by esteemed publications and universities alike.

This report, from Child Trends and the NALEO Educational Fund, describes the extent to which young Latino children are missed in the census count, and steps that can be taken to reduce that risk in 2020.
Writer Richard Rodriguez calls Richard M. Nixon the inventor of Hispanics. His logic? In 1972, Nixon signed a federal mandate called Statistical Directive 15, establishing the current system of classifying Americans into five racial or ethnic groups: White, African American, American Indian / Alaska Native, Asian / Pacific Islander, and Hispanic. In Rodriguez’s words: “I have traveled throughout Latin America and I have looked for Hispanics. Everyone tells you there are no Hispanics there. Essentially, the whole category of the Hispanic is in fact an American fabrication.” By David Morse / New America Dimensions
