KooRoo’s battery swapping station [LG ENERGY SOLUTION] LG Energy Solution is pushing ahead with its new businesses and focusing on future growth with in-house ventures KooRoo and AVEL, the battery manufacturing unit of LG Group said. KooRoo, established last year, is seeking to commercialize its battery swapping stations (BSS), which increase the convenience for users of electric motorbikes by allowing them to swap out a used battery for a fully-charged one rather than having to spend time charging the original battery. The service addresses a lot of the issues raised by electric vehicle users, including the long charge time, relatively short distance that can be traveled and high maintenance costs. “If the electric motorbike battery ecosystem grows, it will help delivery services, be eco-friendly, quiet and safe," said Ahn Hong-duk, head of KooRoo. “We are set to initiate developing exclusive BSS battery packs and stations and plan to build up the electric motorcycle … [Read more...] about New ventures drive growth for LG Energy Solution

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I’ve never been able to hold my hands steady. No, it’s not from too much caffeine – well, not usually. But as a result, I can rarely use a handheld distance rangefinder out on the course. Which is a shame, because I walk many of my rounds. So I don’t often have a cart GPS screen to cross-reference yardage on. Yes, I could use a GPS watch but literally every model I’ve tried has resulted in a skin rash flare-up underneath the band. But maybe there’s a new product to help. Precision Pro Golf’s new NX10 Slope rangefinder locks in distances super quickly and with accuracy. No it doesn’t have image stabilization like some other models I’ve tried, but this has speed on its side. Billed as the market’s first fully customizable rangefinder with interchangeable skins, it comes out of the box essentially as an all-white unit. But you can buy up to 30-some different custom skins separately. The largest underside panel slides off, so … [Read more...] about A Fast, New Rangefinder For The Course

The Southern Poverty Law Center bankrupted the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups through the power of the legal system—and so it might have come as a surprise when the organization recently unveiled its new logo, it was conspicuously lacking the scales of justice icon that had defined the organization for years. It was a change that no one on the project team took lightly—but the organization was committed to bold moves, and for good reason. “Historically, it’s been a law firm, it’s been a legal service for voting rights and civil rights and advocacy groups, but over time, it’s expanded into something that’s much more than that,” says Chris Mihal, SPLC’s director of creative. In 2022, the organization completed a new strategic framework focused on its four key offerings: law, education, policy, and programming, centered around the critical subjects of hate and extremism, children’s rights, economic justice, immigrant justice, LGBTQ rights, criminal justice reform, … [Read more...] about Why the SPLC’s new logo ditched its famous icon

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin CMO, Digital Commerce at Ascential , working closely with global brands and their customers to create their perfect digital partnerships. Brick-and-mortar stores used to be key for the retail industry. Storefronts with carefully displayed products would entice customers to come in and shop.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin James Itkoff is the Director of Growth at Bad Birdie who leads all e-commerce acquisition efforts within the high-growth brand. Being a first mover sounds great, and in many respects, it is. You get to change the future of an industry, unlock something disruptive and potentially find a cash cow within a new or crowded industry. But on the other hand, being a first mover is a pressure cooker for founders and executives. The big guys are watching you, and the small brands want to be you. Every move is on grand display, so how can brands such as Bad Birdie continue to grow? They need to keep moving. The challenge here is that moving is much easier said than done. Is it possible to strike lightning in a bottle twice? Perhaps. But more realistically, for many brands, this movement is less of a discovery and more of an evolution. Small incremental tactical changes that lead to progress within a greater strategic goal … [Read more...] about The Fiduciary Duty Of A First Mover: Keep Moving
