Boardroom monoculture means missed opportunities

I was genuinely surprised, shocked even, when I read in a global study by Ipsos to mark International Women’s Day that 25 per cent of Britons think things have gone far enough when it comes to giving women equal rights. At the same time Britons overestimate women’s representation in business leadership – we think that 12 per cent of CEOs in the largest 500 companies around the world are women when it is actually just 3 per cent and we believe that equal pay will be achieved in 2035 when it has been estimated to take 82 years longer (2117).

What's a student worth

The longest relationship in your life is with your siblings – luckily my brother and I are quite close. There aren’t many other relationships that last decades, especially with a brand: but one that does is with your university. In marketing we often think ‘lifetime value’ of a customer and it now seems a former student from 30 years ago can be worth a £100 million donation! And yet in the view of our student panel, a lot of the tertiary sector is missing basic marketing opportunities, especially at the vital first hurdle.

I’ve been struck over the last few years about the way in which the profile of the influencer community has evolved.

This is where the power of influencers can be key for building and growing brand trust.

Clearly advances in all kinds of technology – from sensors and drones to new ways markets aggregate and do deals – can help the agri sector as a whole to achieving greater profits and higher productivity… Here at KISS we were very surprised at this ranking given the advancements in drone technology and data analysis that we’ve witnessed in the industry in recent years. So we were intrigued to hear about a recent ‘AI and Agri Frenzy’ and investigated some of the ideas presented.
