The precept "If you can't measure it, it doesn't count" has long been considered the golden rule of management. Roger Martin, author of "The Design of Business: Why Design Thinking is the Next Competitive Advantage," counters that view with a new maxim of his own: "If you can't imagine it, you will never create it." The future, he says, is about imagination, not measurement. To imagine a future, one has to look beyond the measurable variables, beyond what can be proven with past data. More

Medical News Today    Share    Share on FacebookTwitterShare on LinkedinE-mail article
In an issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, specialists argue that prolonged periods of sitting are truly detrimental. In addition, we should focus on the harms caused by daily inactivity rather than on the lack of regular exercise alone. Recent research indicates that prolonged periods of sitting and lack of whole body muscular movement are strongly linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and an overall higher risk of death. This is regardless of whether moderate to vigorous exercise is taken. More
