Sunt convins ca te deranjeaza modul in care suntem priviti, noi romanii, in strainatate. Exemplele recente din Franta si Italia sun elocvente. Cum ar fi sa schimbam imaginea asta?
La o simpla cautare pe Google "romanii sunt", sugestiile automate generate de motorul de cautare l-ar jigni chiar si pe cel mai indiferent roman.
Provocarea este urmatoarea: pana pe 1 decembrie, romanii sunt invitati sa caute pe Google sintagma „romanii sunt destepti” in cat mai multe limbi: „les roumains sont intelligent”, „romanians are smart” etc.
Cu cat se efectueaza mai multe cautari cu aceasta sintagma, cu atat mai mult vor creste sansele sa schimbam sugestiile automate generate de motorul de cautare. Si, in final, sa schimbam si imaginea romanilor pe internet.
Intra pe http://www.romaniisuntdestepti.ro si hai sa schimbam imaginea Romaniei! Vezi in clipul de mai jos cum.
Spitalul Clinic de Urgenţă pentru Copii “Sf.Maria” Iaşi este cea mai importantă unitate sanitară din regiunea Nord-Est a ţării pentru copii cu vârste între 0-18 ani. Aici se internează anual peste 60.000 de pacienţi.
La momentul actual, este imperios necesară continuarea procesului de reabilitare şi modernizare a spaţiilor hoteliere şi administrative, din cauza existenţei unui grad major de degradare, atât din punct de vedere arhitectural (pereţi, pavimente, tâmplărie exterioară şi interioară), cât şi în ceea ce priveşte instalaţile sanitare, electrice şi termice. Sectoarele ce necesită intervenţii urgente sunt Clinica Chirurgie pediatrică I şi Sectorul septic, Clinica Pediatrie generală IV şi Bucătăria dietetică, spaţii unde sunt trataţi anual peste 8.000 de copii de către 100 de cadre medicale.
Fundaţia Scheherazade a lansat un proiect ambiţios de renovare a spitalului de copii "Sf. Maria" din Iaşi, aflat în prezent într-o stare critică de funcţionare. Proiectul, intitulat „Copiii fac bine”, se desfăşoară sub Înaltul Patronaj al Preşedintelui României.
Până pe data de 15 noiembrie 2011, toţi cetăţenii care vor să facă o donaţie de 2 euro pentru a contribui la reabilitarea spitalului „Sf. Maria” din Iaşi pot trimite un SMS la numarul 879, disponibil în reţelele de telefonie mobilă Orange, Vodafone şi Cosmote, sms pentru care nu se va percepe TVA.
Pe 22 noiembrie prietenul Manafu organizeaza NetCamp, cel mai vechi event de antreprenoriat online de la noi, lansat acum 4 ani.
Anul acesta, programul NetCamp se va dezvolta pe doua directii. Pe de o parte, va fi un ghid de lansare a afacerilor pe Internet printr-un workshop dedicat sustinut de antreprenori cu experienta si o competitie de proiecte web. Pe de alta parte, evenimentul va reprezenta locul de intalnire al designerilor si developerilor web si mobile, propunand o serie de seminarii si sesiuni de networking.
NetCamp a fost prima mare conferinta despre Internet, dedicata antreprenorilor publisherilor online. Astazi, la a cincea editie, este un eveniment complex ce se adreseaza atat celor care vor sa lanseze o idee online, cat si celor care creeaza proiecte web & mobile.
Editia de anul acesta, din 22 noiembrie, isi propune sa atraga un nou val de antreprenori online si sa ofere creatorilor de Internet si aplicatii mobile un loc de intalnire si dezbateri.
Daca ai o idee sau un proiect web…
Inveti cum sa o / il lansezi cu succes, ce provocari te asteapta si mai ales cum treci peste ele. Start-Up Now! va fi sesiunea la care trebuie sa participi. http://www.netcamp.ro/2011/start-up-now/
Te inscrii cu ideea sau proiectul deja existent la Net Start-Up, o competitie care iti ofera expunere, dar mai ales sfaturi concrete si utile de imbunatatire. E cea mai buna cale de a te testa ca antreprenor. http://www.netcamp.ro/2011/net-start-up/
Daca dezvolti proiecte web si mobile…
WeWorkWeb iti ofera locul de dezbatere a celor mai noi tendinte si tehnologii. http://www.netcamp.ro/2011/weworkweb/
MobileDev ramane in continuare singurul eveniment din Romania care strange dezvoltatorii de aplicatii mobile pe orice cele mai importante platforme. http://www.netcamp.ro/2011/mobiledev/
Si pentru a oferi acces la eveniment unui numar cat mai mare doritori, organizatorii au taiat foarte mult taxele de participare si au gandit pachete pentru orice buzunar.
Iar daca esti student, poti primi o invitatie daca raspunzi creativ la o intrebare. http://www.netcamp.ro/2011/bursele-ursus/

Campania “O viata poate depinde de tine”, realizata Asociatia React, a pornit de la o serie de statistici alarmante cum ar fi:
- 3 din 4 apeluri la 112 sunt false urgente: 73% din totalul apelurilor inregistrate in perioada ianuarie-august 2011 sunt, practic, apeluri facute in joaca sau accidental de catre cei care suna, doar 27% sunt apeluri reale;
- La nivel national, judetul Covasna este judetul care a inregistrat cel mai mare numarul de apeluri false (in aceeasi perioada monitorizata de catre Serviciul de Telecomunicatii Speciale) - 86,86% apeluri abuzive. In Bucuresti, 1 din 2 apeluri sunt false (procentul apelurilor abuzive se ridica la 55,6%);
- La serviciul de urgenta 112, se inregistreaza peste 2000 apeluri/ ora; 60% din totalul apelurilor reale solicita interventia echipajelor medicale de urgenta;
- Orice apel fals inregistrat la 112 poate intarzia sau chiar determina moartea unei persoane care are nevoie reala de ajutor: in 2010, s-au inregistrat 8477 de victime grav ranite in accidente de masina (23 de oameni raniti grav/ zi)
- In ceea ce priveste masurile de prim ajutor, acestea “pot face diferenta intre viata si moarte”: dureaza 3 minute ca o persoana aflata in stop respirator sa moara, 5 minute pana la sosirea ambulantei si mai putin de 1 minut pana la deschiderea cailor aeriene printr-o manevra de prim ajutor.
Materialele de promovare, inclusiv spoturile si site-ul, au fost asigurate de Vodafone, iar televiziunile vor acorda spatiu gratuit.
Te rog sa sustii campania care lupta impotriva abuzurilor. Cred sincer ca daca multi bloggeri preiau campania, avem sansa sa atingem cu mesajul cat mai multi oameni si chiar sa schimbam ceva. A fost anuntata astazi dimineata de cel care ne-a dat SMURD, Raed Arafat, un om care merita - cred eu - tot respectul si admiratia.
Prietenul Manafu imi semnaleaza aparitia unui tool extrem de interesant si de util pentru boggeri si blogosfera.
Este o carte de vizita online ce cuprinde informatii relevante pentru cei ce deruleaza campanii in blogosfera.
Proiectul, sampler.ro, a fost pus in practica de Dragos (Haotik.ro) si este in Beta acum. Se pare ca functioneaza!
Ideea este crearea unei obisnuinte pentru bloggeri de a se prezenta pe limba oamenilor de marketing si comunicare, cu cifrele relevante, si sa ofere companiilor acele date pe care nu stiu unde sa le caute adesea. E o situatie win-win.
Sampler.ro include pe de o parte informatii statice (introduse manual) si informatii dinamice (preluate automat) pentru a oferi un profil cat mai actualizat.
Ce parere aveti? Credeti ca o sa-l folositi?
Pot nistte copii de clasa primara sa schimbe lumea in doar 5 minute?
Video-ul de mai sus demonstreaza cum pe parcursul unei saptamanii le ia doar 5 minute unor copii sa aiba un impact pozitiv asupra lumii.
De la reciclare, la plantarea de fructe si legume, pina la a spune glume :)
Ar trebui sa ne educam copii inca din frageda pruncie sa invete sa-si puna o amprenta pozitiva asupra lumii in care traiesc.
Excelenta initiativa!

Today, I appeared in Adland's "Ad Chat" series.
Here is a small part of it:
If you could meet with anyone in history (dead or alive), who would it be and why?
Mikhail Baryshnikov. I would love to spend some time talking with him about emotions, dance, art, humanity, happiness. “Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.”

Ogilvy & Mather New York and Joshua Liner Gallery unveil a series of commissioned murals by celebrated artist Stephen Powers that reinterpret the words and quotes of agency founder David Ogilvy.
Power’s bold graphic style, reminiscent of vintage advertising illustrations puts a unique emphasis on famous Ogilvy sayings and transforms them into actionable words designed to inspire the viewer. Painted in bright colors on the North stairwell of the agency’s headquarters office, the murals run from the first to the 11th floor of the office building.
The murals are being unveiled to coincide with the 100th birthday of David Ogilvy, one of the most influential and important figures in modern advertising. Awesome!
Ieri la Blog Olympics am invatat/predat o lectie de naming foarte utila!
Cum spune vorba latina "Nomen est omen", adica numele este un semn prevestitor, a castigat echipa cu numele "Echipa Castigatoare", a carui mandru membru am fost :)
Echipa de pe ultimul loc a purtat numele predestinat "Echipa fara nume". Bine, toata lumea a castigat cate ceva, dar ramane lectia.
Aveti grija, in general, cum va alegeti numele! Conteaza!
Particip la Blog Olympics! In "Echipa Castigatoare" a lui Alex. Nu puteam fi decat intr-o echipa castigatoare.
Ramane sa o mai demonstram si in teren.

For everyone to understand what is brand strategy watch and learn.
Above is a video put together by the son of a motorcycle owner. It is the greatest brand-building commercial of all time and BMW should buy rights to it immediately and show it all over the world forever.
The story behind the video is bellow.
This is a photo story of my father's 1958 BMW R50:
Boy meets girl, gets married, buys motorcycle. Rides it for 60,000 miles and has accident when wife is pregnant with 3rd child. (me) Wife orders motorcycle to be taken off road until all her children are grown and on their own. One day when bike is moved to a different storage location, son sits on bike and dreams of being a Jedi Master like his father. Couple grows old together and bike is not ridden for 40 years. Husband is now a grandfather of 7 and married for 50 years, when he dies of a stroke at age 71.
Son looks over the old rotting machine and finds note attached to it from his father to him. Son decides to restore the old 1958 BMW R-50 as a tribute to his father. With the help of many friends, especially Peter Nettesheim, world renowned BMW collector, bike is restored to look even better than it did when it was built in Germany.
I don't believe one can find something similarly moving about a brand.
Dan Pink examinează enigma motivării, pornind de la un fapt cunoscut de specialiştii în ştiinţe sociale, dar necunoscut de majoritatea managerilor: recompensele tradiţionale nu sunt întotdeauna aşa de eficiente cum credem. Ascultaţi poveşti edificatoare -- şi poate, o cale de urmat.
The soon to be published book by Wayne Visser, The Age of Responsibility: CSR 2.0 and the New DNA of Business, argues that CSR, as a business, governance and ethics system, has failed. This assumes that success or failure is measured in terms of the net impact (positive or negative) of business on society and the environment.
The reason CSR 1.0 has failed is not through lack of good intent, nor even through lack of effort. The old CSR has failed because our global economic system is based on a fundamentally flawed design. For all the miraculous energy unleashed by Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand’ of the free market, our modern capitalist system is faulty at its very core.
Simply put, it is conceived as an abstract system without limits.
What is now needed is a new form of CSR - which the book dubs CSR 2.0.
This combines five elements:
1) Creativity - Directing business creativity to solving the world's social and environmental problems
2) Scalability - A 'shining pilot project' is pointless if it can't be scaled for mass use
3) Responsiveness - greater transparency, through reporting mechanisms and through sharing intellectual resources (eg/technology patents)
4) Glocality - Understanding local contexts and applying local solutions without forsaking global principles
5) Circularity - Closed loop production - such as factories that produce drinking water as waste or materials that can feed into industry as high quality raw materials for new products
The end result is a new meaning for CSR - Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility.
When all is said and done, CSR 2.0 comes down to one thing: clarification and reorientation of the purpose of business. It is a complete misnomer to believe that the purpose of business is to be profitable, or to serve shareholders. These are simply means to an end. Ultimately, the purpose of business is to serve society, through the provision of safe, high quality products and services that enhance our well being, without eroding our ecological and community life-support systems.
CSR is dead! Long live CSR!
