TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE TBL = people, profit, planet (3Ps). 1981: Freer Spreckley said firms should measure their TBL. 1994: John Elkington's 3Ps suggested sustainability as a goal. 1997: his book 'Cannibals with Forks' asked firms to measure/ report financial outcome, social wealth creation & environmental factors. What next for stakeholders? Quadruple bottom line, which includes impact on future generations ~Guess the Word? Series 50 (6/9) pic: remiMoebs #tripleBottomLine #sea #fork #planet #profit
EXHAUST
EXHAUST Around 2000: birth of surveillance capitalism. Tech firms didn't know how to make money from the internet. We did a search, they delivered results & ejected our details. Then Google stumbled on the answer: keep the "data exhaust" (who we were, what we sought, what we did next), render it into information to sell to advertisers who target us. Big Tech says it's "doing the right thing" watching us ~Guess the Word? Series 50 (4/9) pic: lHookham #exhaust #Google #watching #data #target
SPLIT
SPLIT World economy milestone splits: 1494, 1945, 2019? 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas red vertical line divided the "New World" between Spain & Portugal. 1945 Iron Curtain divided Europe between the West & the Soviet bloc. 2019 US & China tariff war splits the world economy into 2, forcing trading partners to choose 1 or the other? We'll all be losers due to reduced global trade, safety & security ~ Guess the Word? Series 50 (5/9) pic: linh pham #split #tomato #potato #divide #tradeWar #redLine

YAW
A yaw rate sensor is an advanced monitor in cars. Working with other safety & security devices, it prevents problems with over- or under-steering becoming accidents. But, as in business systems, the best safety feature is a driver who operates the vehicle correctly. Yaw is the rotation around the central vertical z-axis ~ Guess the Word?

NOISELESS
NOISELESS Electric vehicles are noiseless- that's a problem. A Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) is needed so we step out of the way. EU & US rules require new electric cars to emit an audible sound at <18.6 mph. At higher speeds, the car's low-pitched whistle (from cutting through the air) & tyre-on-road noise alert us it's coming. 55% of new car sales by 2040 could be electric. The sound of the city will change ~GuessTheWord? Series 49 (5/7) VSP/pic: #ManMadeMusic #noiseless #electricVehicle

INVISIBLE HAND
INVISIBLE HAND 1776 economics milestone: Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Free markets 'led by an invisible hand' benefit all, not just the butcher, brewer or baker seeking profit. No other idea in history has done more to raise global prosperity. His pin factory study showed division-of-labour specialisation & productivity motivates trade. The 'invisible hand' is most visible in the USA ~ GuessTheWord? Series 50 (2/9) pic: ThomasWolter #invisibleHand #AdamSmith #pin #prosperity #wealth #USA
