    Google Refresh Working Group

    Human Rights

    This is a new project that seeks to examine the intersection of technological innovation and the U.S. food system through research, storytelling, and collective action.

    Our aim is to build a strong coalition of people working to “refresh” our nation’s food system in order to inform and influence public debates and policies that will help to ensure technology, agriculture, and innovations across the food supply chain are developed and adopted for the common good.

    This is a new project that seeks to examine the intersection of technological innovation and the U.S. food system through research, storytelling, and collective action.

    Our aim is to build a strong coalition of people working to “refresh” our nation’s food system in order to inform and influence public debates and policies that will help to ensure technology, agriculture, and innovations across the food supply chain are developed and adopted for the common good.

    The Refresh report is just the start of this conversation. It is the product of nine months of research, interviews, listening sessions, and informal discussions with a wide range of people and organizations working in this space. Presenting a different framework for talking about these issues, the report offers a common starting point for thinking about and discussing the impact of emerging technologies on the way we produce, distribute, and consume food.

    The Refresh Working Group brings together farmers, small business owners, researchers, corporate partners, nonprofit leaders, educators, community organizers, and innovators working across the food system to explore—and hopefully finding consensus around—intersecting policy issues at the nexus of food and technology. The project is initially funded by Google and led by Swell Creative Group.

  • Outgrow Your Space At Work: How To Thrive At Work and Build A Successful Career (Release Date: 01/05/16)

    Revell, A Division of Baker Publishing Group

    Nothing will destroy, delay, or diminish a career like impatience. Yet millions of workers quit their job every month because they haven't gotten a promotion. It's natural to want to make the most out of one's career--after all, we spend more time working than any other activity in our busy lives. But the stark reality is that job-hopping in search of advancement and fulfillment may actually have the opposite effect.

    So what's the best way to "get promoted?"​ According to Rick Whitted…

    Nothing will destroy, delay, or diminish a career like impatience. Yet millions of workers quit their job every month because they haven't gotten a promotion. It's natural to want to make the most out of one's career--after all, we spend more time working than any other activity in our busy lives. But the stark reality is that job-hopping in search of advancement and fulfillment may actually have the opposite effect.

    So what's the best way to "get promoted?"​ According to Rick Whitted, it's about outgrowing your space--making your current job bigger and bigger until management gives you a larger role and increased responsibilities. With a lifetime of experience and research to back him up, Whitted shows readers how to address those things inside of us that prevent career progression--things like self-entitlement, the desire to skip steps, and pride--and instead pursue excellence right where we are. Readers will be challenged to identify why they want a promotion, define for themselves what success really looks like, make lateral moves that position them for promotion later, be innovators in the role they perform right now, and much more. End-of-chapter discussion questions help readers immediately apply concepts to their own personal situation, and three practical 30-day checklists, also available at www.rickwhitted.com, help readers relaunch, redefine, or begin the process of outgrowing their current space
