    Excellence. NO EXCUSES! 68 Ways to Launch Your Journey. NOW. Tom Peters 27 March 2014 1 To John Hetrick Inventor of the auto air bag, 1952 2 This plea for Excellence is a product of Twitter, where I hang out. A lot. Usually, my practice is a comment here and a comment there—driven by ire or whimsy or something I’ve read or observed. But a while back—and for a while—I adopted the habit of going off on a subject for a semi-extended period of time. Many rejoinders and amendments and (oft brilliant) extensions were added by colleagues from all over the globe. So far, some 68 “tweetstreams” (or their equivalent from some related environments) have passed (my) muster—and are included herein. There is a lot of bold type and a lot of RED ink and a lot of (red) exclamation marks (!) in what follows. First, because I believe this is important stuff. And second, because I am certain there are no excuses for not cherrypicking one or two items for your T.T.D.N. list. (Things To Do NOW.) Excellence. No Excuses. Now. 3 Epigraph: The ACCELERATING Rate of Change “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”—Albert A. Bartlett* *from Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, The Second Machine Age, “Moore’s Law and the Second Half of the Chessboard”/“Change” is not the issue—change has always been with us. But “this time” may truly be different. The ACCELERATION of change is unprecedented—hence, the time for requisite action is severely compressed.

In many cases, such as with e-commerce and telehealth, a multi-year march toward adoption was dramatically accelerated by a stay-at-home and work-from-home environment. Simultaneously, a politically and socially charged atmosphere, including a contentious U.S. election and deepening geopolitical rifts such as United States- China relations, further increased market tension and uncertainty. Remarkably, despite this backdrop of general unease and disorder, extraordinary innovation persisted in areas as diverse as targeted medical therapies, edge computing, 5G, robotics and automation, electrified transportation, and the adoption of clean energy.

  • Community Report
    Community Report 2015.16 COMMUNITY REPORT | 2015.16 A LETTER FROM THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS CEO & PRESIDENT The Pittsburgh Penguins are more than a hockey team. We are proud members of our community – from our players and coaches to our executives and office staff – and we believe we have a responsibility to use the unique platform of professional sports to make a deep and lasting impact on our city and our region. It goes far beyond the $6.1 million that the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation contributed to charitable and community causes during the 2015-16 season (athough we are very proud of that!). It involves such wide-ranging efforts as delivering tablets to local schools through our signature Tablets in Education program; providing free baseline concussion testing to young athletes since 2011 through the HEADS UP initiative; building 12 dek hockey rinks in the Pittsburgh region; awarding annual scholarships to deserving high school seniors; and holding unique charity events such as the Aces & Ice Casino Night and the ROOT Sports Charity Night. Our players contribute in so many ways – many in private, out of the spotlight – but some of their more public ventures include visiting Children’s Hospital each season and personally delivering tickets to the homes and businesses of our season ticket holders. Co-owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle have instilled a long-lasting commitment to community outreach and fan interaction through all levels of the Penguins organization. We are proud to serve the citizens of the Pittsburgh region – and especially the young people who are building such a strong foundation for a very bright future.

As I prepared to go up the stage, I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion – seeing 300 farmers, the women and men who work hard to grow our food. I have worked at a small farm, and if you have done so or even have grown an edible garden in your yard, you KNOW the extraordinarily hard work required. And as I prepared to say the words, “40% of food goes to waste,” I could only think I am really saying to them “half of all your labor, we will throw in the garbage.” I have so much love and respect for our farmers. Throwing away perfectly good food devalues our farmers and all the resources that go into producing food. I feel the same on the other end, when I have the privilege of visiting one of our nonprofit partners or reading letters and emails from people whom we have delivered food to. They begin with “I am homebound...” “I have three kids and no car….” “I did not know how I was going to make it til the end of the month….” “We make too much to qualify for benefits but we cannot make ends meet.” And they end with, “this made a big difference.” Throwing away perfectly good food is Food Injustice.
