What to Do When People Doubt You
POST A COMMENT
Mary-Jane Turcotte, Manager, Creative Services, Client Solutions at Sun Life Financial
As women we are our own worst enemy. We sabotage ourselves with self-doubt and insecurities and prevent ourselves from taking on tougher challenges. Yes, there will be failures but we need to learn from them and move on.

Where To Live In China? All Over The PRO World of INFLUENCERS
The Urban China Initiative (a think tank focused on urbanization challenges in China and supported by McKinsey & Company) just published its most recent ranking of Chinese cities based on its own proprietary sustainability index. Take a look to find where your city ranks on the list.
What are the key messages?
Overall, China’s cities are becoming more, not less, sustainable.
Richer cities tend to perform better on the index and so most of them tend to be in the east or on the coast of China.
Greater sustainability correlates with size up to a point, that point being around 4.5 million people. After this, size doesn’t matter.
Greater sustainability correlates with increased population density up to a point, that point being around 8,000 people per square kilometer. After that, higher density doesn't lead to higher sustainability.
Five Chinese cities have already crossed these thresholds and 11 more are likely to do so soon, representing more than 20% of China’s population.
Improving sustainability in these cities requires new forms of action, which have proven successful in peer cities globally. These include many actions that are not hard to describe, but are hard to implement consistently, whether it is in energy savings and emissions reduction, tighter supervision of polluters, pricing resources to create rational usage, smart planning of and incentives to use public transport. Implementation, not conception, makes all the difference in China.

Health Data: Are You with the Sharers or the Hoarders?
My former business partner Todd Park is pretty busy these days as Chief Technology Officer of the U.S., setting data free through President Obama’s Open Data Initiatives. A passionate believer in the power of information, Todd embraces the idea that by putting data out into the public domain, we create the potential for entrepreneurs and innovators to transform that data into products and jobs.
He’s not alone. This approach has sparked innovation across information categories, such as weather (Weather Channel) and global positioning (Waze), and is now being rolled out in a variety of sectors, from energy to education.

We are often asked, “what is the best way to create an analytics organization within my company?” While there is no one right answer, we have had the opportunity to observe many highly successful organizations and have identified a few keys to building and running a successful analytics organization.
Let’s start with the reporting structure. Who reports to whom? Who sets the strategy? We have observed firsthand the struggle organizations go through when trying to figure out where analytics should live within the organization — IT, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Office of the CEO. We believe that the analytics organization should report up through a “neutral party,” this avoids as much as possible the political infighting that happens when insights generated by the analytics organization reflect poorly on the performance of team leadership.

So it has created a technology toolset to help tie different devices together and make playing with connected hardware a little easier. The first tool, Dweet was launched in February and lets you insert a bit of code onto a device to start tracking it.

I have for decades watched CEOs and other executives try to explain a corporate strategy to a small group of senior managers or to a much larger group of staff. For the most part, it has not been a pretty sight. In the case of senior managers, I usually hear 3 or 4 different interpretations of what the boss said, or disagreements about what they thought he or she said. In either case, no alignment at the top. In the case of a larger group of staff, often many people look on blankly during the presentation. They may appreciate a CEO’s willingness to share crucial plans. But because they don’t have the context or experience, they can’t even begin to understand what is being thrown at them in a thick PowerPoint deck. And what they do see certainly doesn’t make them want to get up in the morning and come to work.
