What’s the scoop on Chicago?   It’s a city where sports and culture collide.   The local fashion landscape is on the rise, driven by trendsetting designers and shops.   But, at the heart of Chicago’s essence lies its deep-rooted sports tradition, from the classic games to unique recreational activities around the city.   Chicago’s harsh climate has forged a community of resilience, united and thrilled by sports, whether rallying behind the Blackhawks, Bulls, or Fire FC.   The city’s narrative is about tradition colliding with innovation, where sports aren’t just a form of entertainment but a pivotal element that knits the city together.   #comncollective #chicago #marketresearch #chicagoillinois #chicagofitness #chicagofashion #chicagosports #sportsperformance #fieldresearch

Live from Central Park NYC. Park benches are awesome venues for deepening relationships. What’s yours like with senior stakeholders? I learnt early on that the quality of relationships I had with senior stakeholders internally and externally, had a huge impact on my chances of success. What’s the quality of the relationship like between you and your senior leaders (or key external stakeholders)? Could they be improved, strengthened? Sometimes, a change of venue really helps, especially as many relationships are location specific. Maybe a change of environment can help to shift/change the nature and quality of these key relationships. Chatting on park benches feels easy. Filming on the other hand is not so easy, well in Central Park anyway 😉. #relationships #stakeholders #investorrelations

Rather than subsidizing stadiums and kowtowing to conventioneers, #Chicago ought to be resourcing its extraordinary BIPOC artists and entrepreneurs, according to an opinion piece by PSP’s Philip Barash that was recently published in Crain's Chicago Business. They are shaping Chicago’s narrative for the next generation. They serve as global ambassadors for Chicago’s brand. And they are undoubtedly the city’s most valuable asset. In his article, Philip makes the case for celebrating and investing in Chicago’s culture-makers. He offers a counterpoint to all the pearl-clutching about Chicago’s reputational challenges. And he argues that the cities that are successfully repositioning themselves are those that recognize the assets already embedded in their communities. #opinion #cities #economicempowerment #publicsphereprojects

Iconic Signs: Location: Scranton, Pennsylvania Find it at: Downtown Scranton Year put up: 1923 You probably associate Scranton with "The Office" more than with innovation, but this quiet Pennsylvania city was once a pioneer of embracing a groundbreaking new technology called electricity. When Scranton called itself "the Electric City," it wasn't exaggerating. In the 1880s, it was one of the first cities to have electricity and to use electric-powered streetcars. The sign was put up in 1923 to boast these accomplishments, and it used 1,200 lightbulbs just to show the rest of the world how far into the future they really were. As you've probably guessed, the city didn't continue leading the way in innovation during the 20th century, and its iconic sign was actually turned off for several decades. However, it was revitalized in 2004 and then taken down and replaced with an LED sign in 2014. #sign #signs #signcompany #signmaker #signservice
