Aligning art & commerce is something many businesses completely
overlook. But new technology is challenging how we interpret our actions and
interactions. Earlier this year Apple bought Emotient, an Artificial Intelligence
start-up which sells software that has the ability to read your emotions by
capturing images of changes to your facial expressions. Given how much
commerce is conducted through mobile devices that have the ability to record
our expressions you can see the appeal to Apple. So this month, Matt Jackson
looks into why we need to bridge the gap between art and commerce.
And if you’re boring, or your brand is perceived as staid, old fashioned or out
of touch, then you might find business getting even more challenging. Scott
McKee shares his advice on how to stop your software (and your customers)
from yawning.
The increasing affluence of women is also challenging us all to adapt and
realign ourselves to the needs of a new society. Engaging women in the
workplace, especially at the leadership level, is an essential part of the
collaborative economy. Janine Garner investigates why we must collectively
engage & take action to protect the future pipeline of female leaders.
Plus we have some great contributions from a selection of world class
entrepreneurs and experts like Justin Fankhauser, Jenny Brockis, Ian Altman,
Joey Reiman & Gavin Sequeira covering topics from leadership, sales &
marketing, human capital, start-ups, technology & innovations and much,
much more.
Modern Business gives you the systems and strategies that make you and
your business smarter.
