Tried and tested, the AI Project gameplan Canvas is an effective way to chart out AI adoption and exploration within your team! We created the canvas earlier this year with help from AI PRIORI, INC. Whether you're using AI to filter data sets, summarize complicated information, or supercharge your marketing efforts, the project gameplan canvas is a great way to plot tangible next steps and avoid overreliance.
Have you found yourself wondering how can AI help increase your organization’s impact or how to set your team/org up for success as you adopt new AI tools and strategies? Check out this free Guide to Developing Your Organization's AI Strategy and the accompanying canvases designed in partnership with Do Tank to help changemakers like you in the social sector use AI for greater impact and to amplify community voices. https://lnkd.in/eDNtuduU

How are you managing CPG innovation? According to Forbes, over 85% of innovation projects within CPG organizations fail to have a significant impact on the business. Why? We argue that most CPG businesses are chasing breakthrough innovations (risky, disruptive, game-changers) when they should be fostering incremental innovation. Incremental innovation describes companies that manage change well over time. These companies reduce the risk of failure by prioritizing efficiency, promoting new ideas, and learning from their mistakes. Adopting incremental innovation within CPGs is no simple lift—it requires a significant change in mindset, strategies, and technology—but what would you rather have: A few teams chasing a few big ideas... Or a culture of innovation, making bold waves throughout the business? Learn more about incremental, human-centered innovation management at https://dotankdo.com/cpg/

We facilitated a Business Model Canvas workshop at the Merch Mart with 1871! This canvas, coined by Alexander Osterwalder, serves as a current state analysis, future strategy, and storytelling tool that is scalable to products, teams, and businesses of all sizes. It was great working with such a high-energy crew of startup founders and innovative thinkers! ⚡ To learn more about the Business Model Canvas, visit https://lnkd.in/eNHE9kUS

Strategy Designer Matthew Kelly is on the road! Great session with leaders at the Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center. 🎯
A quick pit stop in Pueblo - heading to Denver after an amazing morning in Walsenburg, Colorado with the leaders at Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center. With a hospital, a veterans community living center (with a few WWII veterans in residence!), and other services that improve health in the area, the organization and team are awesome. It’s my third trip out here this year, and today marks the launch of a new strategic plan. After focus grouping, surveying, multiple design workshops, testing strategy prototypes, blending in amazing data from Colorado Hospital Association….I think we emerged with something that really incorporates the voices and expertise of the team. Now the hard part - executing the plan! Thank you so much Kay Whitley and the entire team at SPRHC for being brilliant thinking partners and very generous hosts :)

Over the past few months, we’ve worked with the North Carolina Healthcare Association to develop and execute programming around transportation barriers to health in Robeson County. This work is part of a $900,000 investment from NCHF’s Social Impact Program, which is funded by the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust. Under this investment, NCHA is awarding five organizations mini-grants to expand their work in transportation access. Through our programming, these champion organizations will also collaborate to find new, system-level solutions for transportation barriers to health in the Robeson community. The solutions they develop will be shared state-wide and leveraged to attract financial support. We are thrilled to officially announce our five mini-grant recipients! BRAVES Behavioral Health Workforce Transportation Program, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Robeson Behavioral Health Transportation Network, PAWSS, Inc. Robeson Fresh Moves Initiative, Southern Carolina Housing Scotland@Home: Community Health Transportation Program, SCOTLAND MEMORIAL FOUNDATION INC RHCC Mobile Unit Impact Project, Robeson Health Care Corp Congratulations to these five organizations! Your work in this space is truly inspiring, and we look forward to working closely alongside your members to improve transportation access and health for all in Robeson County!

A very happy International Ice Cream Day to our friends at Mars Ice Cream. You all are an absolute joy to work with. Love the video (and, being in Chicago, we love seeing Rome Odunze featured)!
🍦 Sunday is International Ice Cream Day, but at Mars we are celebrating all month long! 🍦 At Mars Wrigley our purpose is to inspire moments of everyday happiness. When I think about how we are purpose driven at Mars, the first thing that comes to mind is our global team of Ice Fans and how committed they are to delivering our purpose with customers and consumers. There is so much joy we bring when it comes to ice cream – especially in the summer months – which is why this is my favorite season of the year! Thank you to all our Ice Fans for keeping ice cream hot! And please check out our video to learn more about how our Mars ice cream spreads joy… one bite at a time! #ProudlyMars #MarsIceCream #InspireHappiness #InternationalIceCreamMonth Anton Vincent Shaf Lalani Gauthier Gay Sam Hogan Hubert Weyland Sylvere Laude Romain Lepicard Leonardo Tamayo Sarah Lackore, MBA Junnie Cross Sebastian König Amanda Xing
