Noel Tichy

Welcome to a special Big Picture Channel Podcast on Total Picture Radio with Peter Clayton reporting. We’re delighted to have back on the show Dr. Noel M. Tichy, Professor of Management & Organizations at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Additionally, he is the director of the Global Business Partnership, a 36-company consortium of Japanese, European and North American companies who partnered to develop senior executives and conduct action research on globalization in China, India, Russia and Brazil. Noel consults widely in both the business and private sectors. Most recently, he’s accepted the role as Academic Director of the Jack Welch Management Institute at Chancellor University.

The Jack Welch Management Institute is designed to introduce a progressive approach to business education. Its curriculum will offer students traditional coursework, with instruction on topics from strategy to marketing to finance, but will be melded with Jack Welch’s canon of teachings on every aspect of business practice. Further, Jack’s core principles of candor, differentiation, and voice and dignity for all – as well as his extensive commentary on authentic leadership and people-driven management – will be integral to the curriculum.

The Summer of Social Good - Mashable Powers Tweet Funding of Non-Profits

Adam Hirsch

Welcome to a Big Picture Channel Podcast on Total Picture Radio, with Peter Clayton reporting. The Summer of Social Good is the first large scale online charitable campaign to raise funds through the power of Social Media and the Internet. The goal is to use the power of “Social Influence” via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, blogs and other online media to raise an unprecedented amount for benefiting The Humane Society, Livestrong, Oxfam America and WWF.

This admirable initiative is the brain child of Adam Hirsch, Chief Operations Officer of Mashable, the world's largest blog focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news.

After the success of Tweetsgiving, Twestival and various other campaigns that leveraged the power of social media, Mashable thought it was time to do something on a large scale to not only give back to the community but to engage the community as well. Adam began progress on the Summer of Social Good in January of this year and has been working hard to create a campaign that is both engaging and rewarding for all parties involved. This week was the first of a series of Hyatt4Good events at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. Hyatt has donated the use of meeting rooms in four major cities throughout the US for the Summer of Social Good TweetUp events; where we met our guest today - Adam Hirsch.
