LOS ÁNGELES, 15 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — En un evento virtual de inauguración llevado a cabo este lunes 14 de diciembre, Brentwood School (BWS), una escuela privada de grado kínder a 12, lanzó su iniciativa de diversidad, equidad e inclusión (DEI). El proyecto incluye múltiples líneas de acción: foros comunitarios; estudios de experiencias de estudiantes, personal, padres/tutores y exalumnos; sesiones de diálogo, una revisión de plan de estudios; y consultoría en DEI. Culmina con un plan estratégico para varios años que incluye capacitación al personal nuevo, sistemas de responsabilidad y otras iniciativas en esta escuela independiente al sur de California.

«Queremos que Brentwood sea un lugar de seguridad, equidad y respeto para cada estudiante», expresó el Dr. Michael Riera, director de Brentwood School. «Un lugar donde nuestras diferencias nos permitan ser mejores y donde todas las personas se sientan bienvenidas».

Para este verano, el contexto nacional de activismo projusticia racial aceleró el impulso hacia el cambio en Brentwood School. Las publicaciones en redes sociales por parte de los exalumnos y las familias usando la etiqueta #NoBlackoutBrentwood, el compromiso activo por parte de la Black Family Association de la escuela, y una carta abierta a esta, evolucionaron en diálogos y acciones en el plantel. Durante los últimos cinco años en particular, diferentes escuelas privadas en los Estados Unidos como Brentwood han experimentado momentos de tensión relacionados con DEI en los que un evento sesgado se filtra a las redes sociales, en ocasiones haciéndose viral y creando la necesidad del cambio.

Durante la primera fase de la iniciativa de Brentwood School se recopilarán las perspectivas y experiencias de los estudiantes, los padres y tutores, los maestros, el personal y los exalumnos. Además se llevará a cabo una valoración del ambiente social, el plan de estudios, las prácticas de comunicación y las políticas disciplinarias de Brentwood. Con base en los análisis de estos datos, la segunda fase creará un plan de varios años para mejorar las experiencias de todos los estudiantes, maestros y el personal, con un fundamento en datos, evidencias y la ciencia social correspondiente a esta área. Este plan se empezará a implementar en el otoño de 2021.

La iniciativa de Brentwood representa otro importante paso para mejorar los esfuerzos en diversidad, equidad e inclusión en esta reconocida institución. «Este proyecto es una respuesta directa a las preocupaciones relacionadas con DEI y a los llamados a la acción planteados por los miembros de la comunidad de Brentwood School«, mencionó Riera.

Otras iniciativas de DEI que se lanzaron anteriormente incluyen la creación en 2016 de la posición directiva de Equidad e Inclusión, la adición de una posición de asistente de la dirección de DEI en 2019, el desarrollo profesional enfocado en DEI, un mayor apoyo financiero para las familias con necesidades evidenciadas, la vinculación laboral de personal y maestros diversos, y la integración de especialistas en DEI en cada división de la escuela.

Según Brian Lee, presidente de la junta de Brentwood School: «Desde una perspectiva amplia queremos que Brentwood School sea un líder estratégico en este trabajo. Esta iniciativa es un importante paso para toda nuestra comunidad, y estamos muy emocionados por el camino que se extiende adelante».

Este verano, la junta de Brentwood designó un nuevo comité DEI para ayudar a avanzar su trabajo y asegurar la integración exitosa de esta nueva iniciativa con los esfuerzos actuales en DEI que se adelantan en la escuela. Presidido conjuntamente por Erica Lockhart, exalumna de Brentwood School y madre de exalumnos de la misma escuela, y Walter Delph, padre de alumnos actuales de Brentwood School, este comité tuvo en consideración 19 propuestas de consultoría en diversidad para finalmente seleccionar al Center for Strategic Diversity Leadership and Social Innovation (CSDLSI), de Atlanta, Georgia, para encabezar la iniciativa. Fundado en 2009 por el reconocido pionero en diversidad y autor de los libros de superventas Strategic Diversity Leadership y The Chief Diversity Officer, el Dr. Damon A. Williams, el Centro integra al proyecto un equipo diverso de expertos en educación y profesionales en DEI.

El Dr. Williams ejerció anteriormente como vicepresidente sénior de Youth Development and Educational Achievement para Boys & Girls Clubs of America, y también como vicerrector de DEI en la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison. Señaló: «Estamos muy entusiasmados por asociarnos con el Dr. Riera; con la directora de Equidad e Inclusión, la Dra. Trina Moore-Southall; y con toda la comunidad de estudiantes, familias, maestros, personal, la junta y el personal administrativo de Brentwood para crear un ambiente de inclusión y excelencia para todos».

Las novedades y los avances de la iniciativa estarán disponibles para consulta del público en el sitio web de Brentwood School: www.bwscampus.com. Para obtener más información acerca del CSDLSI, por favor visite https://DrDamonAWilliams.com.

NESS ZIONA, Israel, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — VisIC Technologies Ltd., a global leader in gallium nitride (GaN) devices for automotive high-voltage applications, is proud to announce its new low resistance product for EV Inverter application that will improve efficiency and manufacturing cost of electric cars. The new 8mOhm product is another step in the ongoing effort to support our customers and improve the power conversion systems. 

8mOhm D3GaN Power Switch

«The V8 product doubles the current capabilities and reduces resistance by a factor of 2.5 times over the previous generation of VisIC product. This will allow our customers to improve their inverter systems to be more efficient in size, power, and cost for the target EV market.» said Mr. Ran Soffer, VisIC SVP Sales & Marketing. «The V8 product is another step in our long-term effort to provide a better solution based on our D3GaN technology. The work on the new product is done in close collaboration with our leading customers to bring meaningful improvement to the electric drive system which is the heart of the Electrical Vehicle. The higher power density can also be achieved in high-power traction invertors», added Mr. Ran Soffer.

The new product is rated at 8mΩ, 650V, 200Amp and provides significantly lower switching losses versus comparable IGBT or SiC devices for the same current range. Customers can integrate the new die into both discrete packages and power modules with a variety of interconnect options. This new technology enables power loss savings particularly in drive cycle tests for high current Electric Vehicle inverter systems.

The challenge of manufacturing a single die with a high current is a known challenge for wide band gap technologies (WBG), such as SiC and GaN, vs ubiquitous Silicon dies. The breakthrough of 200A GaN dies has been made possible due to the thoughtful design of the D3GaN platform and manufacturing excellence of TSMC, the manufacturing partner of VisIC company. This breakthrough will enable Electric Vehicles to benefit from the high-efficiency technology of GaN. This will lead to more cost-effective EV cars, for a greener and cleaner planet.

SYDNEY, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Colonial heritage and cool-climate wines combine with spectacular waterfalls and picturesque National Parks to make a great food and wine escape just outside of Sydney in the Southern Highlands.

Bendooley Estate, Berrima_Credit: Destination NSW

Take a 90-minute drive south from Sydney and find the foodie wonderland that is the New South Wales, Southern Highlands. With rich volcanic soils supporting a range of produce, including beef, dairy and truffles, the high altitude is perfect for cool-climate wines, and the fast-developing wine region is home to over 17 cellar doors.

DRINK

Popular vineyards in the Southern Highlands include pinot-pioneers Artemis Wines and award-winning Tertini Wines near Mittagong, and the beautiful Centennial Vineyards and Joadja Estate near Berrima. Near Sutton Forrest, Eling Forest Estate and Southern Highland Winery produces a variety of premium cool climate wines, while small batch producers Cuttaway Hill Wines and St Maur Wines near Exeter are truly worth the visit. Take a custom-tailored tour with The Grape Escape and visit cellar doors across the region, or try a unique wine experience like Tractorless Vineyards’s tour to meet their ‘wooly workers’, including some friendly sheep and a back-of-the-ute tasting experience. Beer fans should head to Eden Brewery in Mittagong and Southern Highlands Taphouse in Moss Vale, while spirit-enthusiasts should try Joadja Distillery, one of the few single malt distilleries in the world to grow their own barley onsite and boasting their own natural water spring.

EAT

Foodies can live out their epicurean fantasies amongst the rolling green hills and quiet hamlets of the Southern Highlands. Start the day with breakfast at Ludo or The Press Shop in Bowral, Highlands Merchant in Moss Vale, or The Shaggy Crow in Mittagong. Visit Bendooley Estate’s restaurant for lunch inside their Berkelouw Book Barn, then enjoy a tasting at their cellar door on-site. Indulge in fine dining at Eschalot in Berrima, Birch in Moss Vale or Paste Restaurant in Mittagong. And for a taste of the whole region, join a food tour with The Highlands Tour Co. or Wild Food Adventures to meet local farmers and producers from the area.

PLAY

There is always something to do in the picture-perfect villages of the Southern Highlands. In Bowral, renowned for its colourful tulips, bespoke boutiques and delicious restaurants, visitors can learn about the greatest cricketer of all time, Sir Donald Bradman, at the Bradman Museum and International Cricket Hall of Fame, as well as hunt for treasures in the unique antique store, Dirty Janes. The region is also blessed with awesome natural attractions, including the dramatic Fitzroy and Belmore Falls located in the Morton National Park near the town of Robertson, where visitors can enjoy a range of bushwalks and exhilarating cycling tracks.

STAY

With plenty of accommodation on offer, there is something for everyone in the Southern Highlands. From two or three-bedroom cottages at Bendooley Estate, elegantly designed rooms at Berida Hotel, impressive golf resort, Peppers Craigieburn; the charm of a converted highlands estate at The Loch, a stylish self-contained cottage at The Hidden Door Bowral or five-star luxe at Milton Park Country House Hotel and Spa.

Las oportunidades de 1.000 billones de dólares dentro del posicionamiento de la mente del país

Se lanza el primer informe de posicionamiento estratégico mundial

ATLANTA y SHANGHÁI, 16 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Fortune (China) y Ries Positioning Strategy & Consulting han lanzado el primer informe estratégico de posicionamiento mundial – ‘The $ Trillion Opportunities: Building Global Brands with Country Positioning in Mind’ – en Estados Unidos.

Se lanza el primer informe de posicionamiento estratégico mundial

ATLANTA y SHANGHÁI, 16 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Fortune (China) y Ries Positioning Strategy & Consulting han lanzado el primer informe estratégico de posicionamiento mundial – ‘The $ Trillion Opportunities: Building Global Brands with Country Positioning in Mind’ – en Estados Unidos.

The first global strategic positioning report by Fortune and Ries Consulting was released in Times Square, New York.

El informe de posicionamiento destaca que cada uno de los países cuenta con unas calidades de ‘posicionamiento en mente’ diferentes y que las compañías han de solventar el concepto y basarse en las categorías para construir una marca mundial.

La investigación para el informe de posicionamiento se basó en el marco de trabajo teórico único creado por medio de Ries Consulting, además de explorarse por medio del análisis de los consumidores y de la investigación de categoría en seis mercados principales, Estados Unidos, China, Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania e India. Desbloquea de forma considerable las oportunidades de categoría potenciales dentro de estos mercados. Proporciona además las directrices para el desarrollo de categorías potenciales en el mercado mundial, siendo el primer informe de posicionamiento del mundo centrado en el conocimiento y categoría.

«Estamos en un momento importante en el que los negocios mundiales se enfrentan a grandes retos, y los negocios y las marcas necesitan explorar las oportunidades del ‘océano azul’ mundial», explicó el responsable de marketing mundial de Fortune, Michael Joselof, como muestra de fondo de su proyecto de estrategia de posicionamiento. «Ries Consulting es un líder en posicionamiento estratégico mundial, famoso por ser pionero de una teoría de posicionamiento que combina la ‘percepción’ y la ‘categoría’ en sus modelos de negocios. Hemos colaborado para capturar las categorías de productos con más potencial en el mundo».

El informe de posicionamiento destaca que «el posicionamiento del país en mente» representa las percepciones de primera experiencia únicas de los consumidores de un país dado. De todos los países investigados, China e India han disfrutado de un desarrollo rápido, pero su posicionamiento de país en mente está dividido.

Estados Unids, China y Alemania se han convertido en líderes en tecnología e innovación, pero India aún debe agitar su imagen tradicional de agricultura de las mentes de los consumidores mundiales. Reino Unido y Francia se distinguen por su buen diseño, moda y productos de alta gama, mostrando sus ventajas en categorías de consumo saludables, como el lujo y la joyería.

La marca, categoría y país de posicionamiento de mente podrían influir entre ellas, según se indica en el informe. Es por ello que cuando se construye una marca mundial, es clave combinar diferentes categorías, y cada uno de los países cuenta con sus propios líderes diferenciadores con un posicionamiento de país único en mente.

Cuando las categorías se combinan con aspectos superiores de un posicionamiento del país en mente, nacen las innovaciones de categoría, y estas pueden forman las nuevas ventajas mundiales en la mente del consumidor. El informe especifica además las oportunidades analizadas en el mercado mundial para el té, ropa, vehículos eléctricos y otras categorías.

Michael Brandtner, socio mundial de Ries Consulting, explicó que las oportunidades de negocio del futuro, junto al lanzamiento del informe, «serían la clave para conseguir ganar la competición mundial de una marca potente en la mente de los consumidores. En el proceso de realizar eso, ‘el posicionamiento del país está en la mente’ y es un factor clave, pero a menudo no se suele tener en cuenta por muchas de las compañías, sobre todo por parte de los empresarios. Esto significa que: Explorar y usar el posicionamiento de mente de un país y maximizar su influencia clave es muy válido para construir una marca mundial».

Michael añadió: «Esto es lo que Ries Consulting ha adherido y lo que ha demostrado la práctica de los negocios en los últimos 60 años. En el Siglo XXI, la competición mundial entre las marcas mundiales se hará aún más dura. La decisión está entre crecer como una marca mundial para convertirse en una decisión de tipo ‘ser o no ser’. Incluso con la actual situación internacional complicada, solamente por medio de un conocimiento correcto de la ley de percepción y por la creación de las nuevas categorías podremos conseguir el éxito en la construcción de potentes marcas mundiales».
