54) Summary: What is the Internet of Behaviors and how can it help organizations?

Name: David Roe CMSWire

Category: General

Email: query-bm0n@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 December

Query:

As demonstrated by the COVID-19 protocol monitoring example, the
IoB is about using data to change behaviors. With an increase in
technologies that gather the "digital dust" of daily life --
data that spans the digital and physical worlds -- that
information can be used to influence behaviors through feedback
loops. For example, for commercial vehicles, telematics can
monitor driving behaviors, from sudden braking to aggressive
turns. Companies can then use that data to improve driver
performance, routing and safety. The IoB can gather, combine
and process data from many sources including: Commercial
customer data; citizen data processed by public-sector and
government agencies; social media; public domain deployments of
facial recognition; and location tracking. The increasing
sophistication of the technology that processes this data has
enabled this trend to grow.

IoB does have ethical and societal implications depending on the
goals and outcomes of individual uses. The same wearables that
health insurance companies use to track physical activities to
reduce premiums could also be used to monitor grocery purchases;
too many unhealthy items could increase premiums. Privacy laws,
which vary from region to region, will greatly impact the
adoption and scale of the IoB.

So how can it help enterprises?

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 December

Query:

Gartner defines a content services platform (CSP) as the
foundational component in an organization for the management and
utilization of content. In its recently published content
services platform Magic Quadrant, Gartner writes that
organizations are moving CSP services to the cloud. This has
been accelerated by the response to the COVID-19 crisis. The
need to implement and maintain content flow (the provision of
content to employees as and when they need it) requires
cloud-based services. Some of the more long-standing vendors
have been late to the game in positioning a complete SaaS/PaaS
content services offering. This is now having an impact on their
organic growth and market share. In addition, cloud office (and
in particular Microsoft 365) is now the dominant productivity
interface and, therefore, all content services must integrate
seamlessly with it. Social media conversations also highlighted
the growing popularity of cloud-ready CSPs, especially in 2020,
when flexible rapid deployment and ease of access is especially
important to drive digital resilience. How will moving to
cloud-based CSP help organizaitons

Query:

On November 28, 2020, a study was published in the Journal of
Finance. After looking at the accounts of about 5000 financial
advisors (from two large financial institutions) they learned
that the advisors (with their personal money and their clients'
money) underperformed their equal risk adjusted benchmarks by an
average of 3% per year over a 15-year period. The advisors
predominantly bought actively managed funds and they chased past
performance (with their personal money and with their clients
money). I'm looking for a quote from a CFP. In the standard
training to become a Certified Financial Planner, do budding
financial advisors learn that: 1. Most actively managed funds
lose to their benchmark indexes and 2. Actively managed funds
that perform well during one time period ofter underperform
during the next (as per SPIVA Scorecard data and SPIVA
Persistence Scorecard data). Thank you.

Query:

My next column features timing tricks and secrets to help people
succeed. I'm looking for scientifically backed-up or expert
answers to the following questions:

1) When is the best time (could be a day of the week or month or
even time of year) to start a new habit or life change, such as
starting a diet or quitting smoking? Why is it helpful to start
at this time and how does it encourage you to stick with the new
habit?

2) Many experts recommend journaling to help stick with a new
lifestyle change or habit, either to increase motivation or
accountability. If you're going to journal for this reason, is
it better to do so before going to bed or first thing in the
morning, and why?

3) Are there any timing secrets to help you better stick with a
diet, such as eating dessert in the morning or spacing out meals
at certain non-traditional intervals?

4) If you're trying to eat healthier, when is the best time to
grocery shop. Not just after a meal, but is there a better time
of day or better day of the week where people tend to make
healthier/more responsible choices?

5) If you're making a major purchase that involves haggling
(like, say, a car or new home), what is the best time to do so
where you'll have the most success with the salesperson? Could
be a time of day, day of the week, day in the month or even time
of year.

6) If you're looking to find a new job, is there a time of year
where you might have a better shot of scoring your dream job?
When is the best time of day/day of the week to try to schedule
an interview?

7) When is the best time of day/day of the week to clean your
house to ensure it will stay cleaner for longer or just be
easier to clean overall?

Our Thought Leaders in Internet of Things (TLIoT) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders in Cloud
Computing (TLCC) (http://www.sramanamitra.com/big-data) series.
I am looking for companies that have at least $5 million in
annual revenue. In TLIoT, we interview thought leaders in the
realms of the Internet of Things -- whether they are
entrepreneurs building great companies, product/user experience
designers building great products, or executives at large
companies with unique perspectives on how the e-commerce
industry is evolving. We discuss trends, disruptions,
entrepreneurial opportunities, monetization models, challenges,
socio-cultural impact and much more in a seven-part series. We
also try to highlight for our audience gaps in the current value
chain where they may start a venture, from the unique vantage
point that CIOs and CTOs have. This is a wonderful opportunity
to add value to the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the world. This
blog is part of the One Million by One Million global
initiative, whose aim is to help a million entrepreneurs reach
$1 million in annual revenue (http://1mby1m.com). 1M/1M has
syndication relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy,
SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India), Women 2.0, Mashable,
Huffington Post, Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, and several
other sites. Articles we develop through these interviews often
get repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 December

Query:

For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). I was also named as one of the top
10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.

Bus service is most cities urges passengers who have symptoms to
stay home. Meanwhile, both Uber and Lyft have prompts that make
riders confirm that they can't hail a ride if they're
experiencing COVID symptoms.

Are there any communities or health organizations that have

activists to increase testing access to nondrivers?
