3-D Touch Screen technology: Unbelievable technology
1062_ 8/15/11 -
Power2B is a creative workshop dedicated to generating radical innovations and human experiences at every level of daily living. Part of what they've done is an innovative patent around 3-D Touch Screen technology, and they're beginning to imagine certain interfaces for these devices where they can actually look at natural body language and present things based on.... Larry is sitting up straight ...based on how you are behaving. Lucy Sanders, CEO for the National Center for Women and Information Technology or NCWIT along with Larry Nelson, Director of w3w3® Media Network interviewed Sarah Lipman, Founder & CTO, Power2B.. Sarah said, "Power 2B is an unbelievable technology. It's a technology that replaces the traditional touch screen at a fraction of the price, and it provides coordinates, not only in the x, y points when you touch the screen but even when you're not quite touching the screen. So it can track you even before you touch the screen." Sarah is the visionary and innovator of the Power2B concept and technology and is responsible for management and guidance of the technology team. In addition, Sarah leads the concept incubation group for technology innovation. Before founding Power2B, Sarah managed a dual career in education and publishing. She draws for inspiration on an eclectic range of interests, including medicine, mathematics, industrial design, anthropology, history, and her children. w3w3® Media Network is proud and honored to bring another NCWIT interview to our audience. We've long since recognized the need for education and support for our youth and particularly for young women, in math and science, engineering and technology. The women we interview are bright guiding lights for the future of our youth, generously sharing their experiences - challenges and all. They are inspiring, often humorous and motivating. This series is a real jewel and a valuable set of tools for the future of young women and everyone who has the good fortune to listen...Sarah has much to share, listen for more...

Vision, People, Growth, Rewarding - Entrepreneurs
1064_ 8/15/11 -
We are talking with a winner of the Colorado Companies to Watch program, and that's very exciting, but he's got an interesting background where both of his parents were entrepreneurs, he started out in the basement of his grandparents and he's got a successful, fantastic business today. We're talking with Jeremiah Owen, President, Vivax Pro Painting. Jeremiah started his company in 2004 and Larry wanted to know what had been the biggest catalyst for the company's growth. First thoughts were, having a clear vision of where they wanted to go and grabbing all the right people along the way. Jeremiah says they have an awesome team and everyone is committed to their own personal growth, but working as a team to help accomplish the goals we've set out each week, each month and each year. So the people are the main thing. Still, Larry wanted more on how they've grown so successfully, there is a lot of competition out there, in the painting industry. "The main thing", said Jeremiah, "is focusing on customer service. Painting is a very low tech industry; it doesn't take much to call yourself a painter. So we've really focused on running it like a business, setting very specific goals and working all the time to do exactly what we say we're going to do, focusing on referrals and letting our work speak for itself." We asked Owen about future growth, and how he was planning to continue this consistent rate of growth - how would they be expanding? Well, they're planning on expanding in the areas where they already do work. For instance they started out working in Highlands Ranch and each year they've done more and more work, because of 'word of mouth'. They went from door-to-door and word of mouth and expanded into doing community work. Jeremiah really likes teaching and coaching entrepreneurship. So again that's one of the things that helped them to grow. Everyone within the company acts like an entrepreneur, they're accountable for what they accomplish and they're rewarded for what they accomplish. And we like to spread that through the community - through the youth - by working with DECA which is a marketing organization for high school students... and then doing some of our own stuff where we work with children and teach them entrepreneurial skills...there's more about this winning company...

People are concerned with the healthcare legislation, but
1059_ 8/08/11 -
At the ACG Denver August luncheon, we spoke with the keynote speaker, Chris Smith, President of Cochlear Americas, based here in Denver. Chris tells us that while he would never label any business or industry as 'recession proof', he would recommend healthcare as a solid industry to look into. Cochlear manufactures and distributes across the world, an implantable brain stimulator for people who are either born deaf or go deaf later in life. Instead of a hearing aid, which amplifies sound, this is a technology that is an implantable device that allows you to restore hearing. Larry asked Chris what he felt were the biggest challenges facing companies today. Chris said, "I think, at least when looking at our business it is finding great people." Identifying the right people, for character and culture is number one because at the end of the day, the people you hire, they are the team and they're going to build the business." Turning the table, Larry asked what was the biggest opportunity. Chris went with people, "I think there are amazing people out there today. Especially if you look at what's going on with unemployment across this country. I think there's a lot of wonderful people that are available to go in and make an incredible impact in organizations. We've always said, that the best people with the best strategies win." As an aside, Chris points out that, "Healthcare has its challenges. People are concerned with the healthcare legislation, but at the same time, this is a country that has always provided healthcare to its population." Chris believes with where technology is going, and the innovations are going, the length and quality of life is going to be extended. Advice for entrepreneurs looking at healthcare, "Hire for character, then competency. Make sure from a character and culture perspective that there is a right fit with the organization. People make mistakes along the way, more for this is the job I want as opposed to this is the company or the culture I want." Second piece of advice is...listen for more...

Dan Caruso: Support the growing needs of consumers
1061_ 8/15/11 -
We are here with one of the most explosive companies around! Of course, I meant that in a good way - we're talking with
Dan Caruso about his company, Zayo. Dan actually said explosive was a good word to describe what Zayo does... because Zayo is in the bandwidth business and the need for bandwidth is exploding. As people use wireless devices, such as droids, iPhones, iPads or watch video over the Internet, there's an infrastructure behind that, that is necessary to support all that explosion. That's basically what Zayo does. Zayo builds fiber net ropes and turns that into raw bandwidth capacity in support of large carriers and content companies as well as hospitals and educational institutions so that they can provide the Internet and data capacity to support the growing needs of consumers. Larry said, "We've been following you since 2007. You've done a number of very interesting things, and you've gone through some challenging times in terms of the business environment during that time frame. What are the biggest challenges today for entrepreneurs in business?" Dan replied, "So I was around in the earlier days of telecom and it was boom days in the late 90s and then we went through our own meltdown in the early 2000s. We had to learn what to do when our entire industry just shuts down, how to survive and how to revive. In the broader economy today that very challenge is affecting most businesses. From a Zayo perspective, fortunately our business is driven less by the macroeconomic environment and more by just the fundamental need for bandwidth. So we are somewhat protected from the very difficult economic times that we're in. When I think more generally with my entrepreneurs, other businesses that I'm involved with, and the entrepreneurial community, the biggest issue is funding. There's lots less funding available for companies built on ideas and future passion. The economic climate, there's a lot of unrest, issues unsettled, a lot of uncertainty. So whether you're you looking for equity or debt funding, if you are a newer company or a fast growing company that needs to consume capital, it's very difficult to raise money and get that support. Larry then asked, "What are some of the biggest and best opportunities for business today?" Dan then said... Listen to what he has to say...

Social media has changed recruiting to an outbound activity
1063_ 8/15/11 -
Many companies today are relying on job postings and job boards, outbound types of media. What Kimberly Lucas, founder of Goldstone Partners sees in the future is that candidates will make themselves available to interesting companies, rather than casting a net broad and respond to everyone. "In that vein what companies need to do is be thinking about [and here's a new term for CRM...] Candidate Relationship Management. That is having an interactive relationship with not only your employees, but future employees, or those that you've identified as having potential for being a future employee." Kimberly says that we're moving toward a candidate centric model. Candidates do not hang out on mega job boards any longer. Social media has changed recruiting from being an inbound activity to an outbound activity. Candidates decide who gets access to them so having a strong employment brand is critical. The recruitment function is changing - hiring managers can do their own sourcing, so recruiters need to find other ways to add value. Kimberly went onto point out, "A person I know quite well recently said something to this effect, 'Recruiters must embrace change or they will go the way of travel agents, real estate agents and newspaper editors...' In today's people market, with all the people laid-off, displaced, those even trying different things, to being an entrepreneur - there is a lot to consider and so much has to be done and handled right within the whole recruiting business. mega job boards are really not a good source for either hiring managers looking for candidates, or the candidates who are looking for positions. Social media has become a true force in the recruiting industry for both candidates and hiring managers. Most job postings are very generic, very HR boring... and it's not interesting. Kimberly says she get's comment after comment from candidates saying, 'the reason I responded to this was because of the way it's written. It spoke to me...and the job sounds interesting.'...

From Denver: Exploring South Asia's entrepreneurial culture
1058_ 8/08/11 -
From learning about traditional Indian medicine in Varanasi, exploring Chinese culture in Shanghai, to studying Gross National Happiness in Bhutan, or working with a NGO founded by Gandhi; Saffron Education offers innovative programs, internships and teaching opportunities for students interested in gaining an experience of South Asian culture beyond the classroom. Roisin Pelley, Denver resident is taking on a big challenge with her new job at Saffron Education. We managed to get a few minutes of her time before her departure this weekend for Bombay, India. This exciting venture sprung from Roisin's participation in the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC). Saffron Education is doing study abroad programs and internships and volunteer experiences throughout South Asia for students from high school, undergraduates and MBA levels. One of the most exciting opportunities is Bhutan, a small country and Constitutional monarchy that doesn't allow many tourists. Saffron's first program was run in Bhutan with the youth development program there. "Our students from America taught teachers there and got really involved in the community", said Roisin . "Knowing the cultural complexities and the way business works, the way the culture affects business, is really crucial for being able to expand successfully. Having those cultural skills that students get by visiting companies and meeting people can be a huge asset to them when they're in the workforce." India presents a great environment for entrepreneurship with their growing economy. People are always starting new companies and looking at different ways to improve life there because there certainly are lots of things that need to be done. It's a great place to be creative in and think of new solutions and how they can fit such a complex country. With 1.2 billion people, most products or services are going to find some kind of market.

July was interesting, with high profile summer gatherings...
1060_ 8/08/11 -
It was a balanced month beginning with Independence day. We saw the return of our own Phil Weiser, Silicon Flatirons founder; and Dean of the CU Law School, back from Washington D.C. where he spent the last two years serving our country. You will find a series of videos on YouTube and Stories on the Communications Technology Professionals CTP Channel, chronicling that celebration... Great photos by w3w3®. So many Coloradoans were on vacation/business trips and some had trouble getting back to DIA with the problems presented by some pretty wild weather. Ask Jeffrey Pearl of IP5280, four stand-by flights to get back for APEX (He was a winner...).
Speaking of...
These were the last APEX Awards to be presented by CSIA, which is now known as the Colorado Technology Association (and CTA will, of course, continue the APEX annual awards program). Photos... The National Center for Women in Technology,
NCWIT, is back with an exciting young woman whose software will bring some 'cents' to your social networking and marketing efforts. That's Victoria Ransom with her third successful startup, WildfireApp. She offers encouragement to young women in high school and college to go for the golden future in IT, computer science, and engineering...Uncle Sam Wants You to help keep our country strong! And that does seem to be the theme for this July 2011.
