Mauro Libi: Business have to work with the community to build the community

We are having an extremely good year, What do you do when you are ahead? You don't make mistakes. you don't gamble unnecessarily. You protect your lead. You make sure nobody gets hurt. You got to use these guys in the next game. We won this game. What if we had a good guy tuna company that was on the porpoise team? A lot of guys will buy that so their kids will not get mad at them. We don't care how much it cost to protect the porpoise, just how much it makes. If it cost too much, then we charge a penny more. We could advertise, would you pay a penny more to save a fish? Let the other companies build their plants in the wrong places. Let's be the company that makes the rules, plays fair, that's popular. Forget those nuclear power plants till we know they're safe. That refinery in Pagglesham, we will have to relocate it. It will cost us millions, but we don't care, because we will come out ahead in the end. That plastic stuff that we make, we will have to stop. . We are not here just for one game, we are going all the way....And we'll already have won.

The above is part of the script from the Movie, Heaven can Wait. the movie came out in 1978. That was years before the concept of Shared value initiative came out. The 1970's was supposed to me the era of the 'me' generation, yet we see the early concept of joint responsibility to every ones gain. This is the concept of Shared Value initiative. Where big business works with the community to protect the oceans, the environment. The concept is for business to work with the community to build the community for the long run and that in turn will cost the company for the now, but in the end the company will also gain.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By Mauro Libi Crestani. Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car. Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car. I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me. I have a married friend who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects. Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing.
