Mauro Libi: "You can not stop the waves , but you can learn to surf"


By Mauro Libi. The world is in turmoil.  The world is suffering through a very unstable global economy. England is debating whether it is best to stay in the European market or go at it on their own.  Countries throughout Europe debate whether they should keep the euro.

The Russian economy is in a downfall.   The U.S. economy has slightly recovered but average income is down and jobs are being outsourced to other countries. The USA is now debating whether they would be better off being more isolationist as that may protect them from the effects of a weak global economy and poor trade agreements.

The list goes on and on there is hardly a country that is not showing signs of a depressed economy. 
In each and every one country their solution to the economy is that it is a bad  thing and we must act to prevent it from getting worse.

Maybe that is the wrong approach. This article will not present any answers to the economy but will present a different outlook that can in itself present answers.

There is an expression that says, "You cannot stop the waves , but you can learn to surf". Instead of trying to solve an economic situation that may be beyond our control , maybe we should see it as not a bad thing.  Maybe this poor economy presents opportunities. If we open our eyes and see things in a positive light , we may have found a path out of this bad economy.(Mauro Libi)

The waves of this global economic downfall cannot be stopped.  The ways of yesterday that brought us into this downward spiral may not be the answer that we seek.  Albert Einstein said that one cannot keep doing the same and expect different results.  Maybe our answer lies in not trying to go back to the robust 1990's when the economy was fantastic because in reality they lead us to our present situation. (Mauro Libi)

Our answer may lie in not fighting the ill effects of the economy but look at it from a positive perspective.  See the economy as a friend telling us that we need to change. Maybe our answer lies in increasing programs like the SEED program in our schools.  

That is a science and technology program. It teaches the students to advance the world and create positive change. Programs like the SEED admit that we don't have to understand why the world is no longer working, what worked last year or ten years ago no longer works now. It is accepting that fact that change is needed. Real change. Fixing a broken economy may not work , viewing the economy as a sick friend screaming out for some modern medicine to cure him , can make both the patient and the economy better and stronger than ever.

Our weak economy may be filled with opportunity to grow and be stronger than anything we could have imagined. This economic fix may require positive thought. We must not try to turn it around but to change it. We need to stay focused and positive that the opportunities are greater than ever if we just look with s positive outlook.  We need to see that now is the time for change through education and technology. By investing in knowledge we may have the way into our future.

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.

Mauro Libi: Social responsibility can improve your financial performance

 Social responsibility represents benefits for the society where the organizations are located, but for the companies too , since their effects are also felt in profitability.Just as you read it, it is proven that the risk of affecting the profitability of companies and enterprises grows when there is no specific application of responsibility with the organization's environment, nor transparency and business ethics. It is therefore, essential that organizations incorporate socially responsible actions into their management and, the benefits go beyond philanthropy or timely help that companies can provide to the communities where they operate.The actions of social responsibility are highly beneficial for organizations beyond the immediate effect that their action generates in society, and in the long term, the contribution that companies and enterprises make in their environment help generate a virtuous circle and healthy economic development.  How they do this...

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…..
