Be Bold. Make the Change. Have a meaningful Impact.
Written by Angelica Morrone, Guest Contributor at Cleantech Geek
According to Eric Ries, who first applied the term pivot to startups in his book “The Lean Startup” a pivot is defined as a change in strategy, without a change in vision.
A pivot should and does occur when a company shifts its business strategy to accommodate changes in the industry, customer preference, competitive landscape, or any factor that impacts the bottom line. Pivoting allows a company to translate direct or indirect feedback into a change to the business model.
The people who know me and have interacted with me professionally know that I am fanatic about testing of all business assumptions and of all aspects of a business model. A pivot will be applied after testing out an approach and receiving feedback.
When should you pivot? Pivoting is not a solution to all problems, not a panacea to all shortfalls. It should be considered when other options have been considered and excluded.

In just a few years, electric scooters have become the fastest-growing micro-mobility option worldwide. However, the industry has also become one of the most controversial because of its legality and environmental effects. Moreover, some people say it is just an overhyped trend.
However, in just a short period, electric scooters have made their design and features more sustainable, and manufacturers and brands are taking steps to reduce their overall impact on cities and the environment. E-scooter developers have also become more active in engaging with legislators to legalise electric scooters and make them safer for riders.
As the industry continues to improve, micro-mobility solutions like electric scooters will offer more pros than cons for increasingly congested and polluted cities. In this article, we discuss the legal, social, and environmental benefits of electric scooters.

My latest online discussion (in Greek, unfortunately for my non-greek speaking visitors) with Mr. Pougaridis on e-ptolemeos.gr – one of the largest news agencies in Western Macedonia. The discussion revolves around renewable energy in Greece; More specifically we talk about the best practises in the industry based on the European and UK model, the role of resistance from local communities on adoptation of renewables, new technologies such as energy storage and the growing importance of renewables in areas where coal is phased out, like West Macedonia in Greece.

There’s a notion that technology such as machinery and chemical products destroy our environment. After all, most technological advancements either pollute the earth or release harmful gases.
However, scientists and engineers are making this right by developing green technology. In fact, the green tech market is expected to grow from $8.79 billion in 2019 to $48.36 billion by 2027. That’s a rapid growth of 24.8% in just 8 years. Green technology will seek better and efficient energy and minimise the impact on the environment while enhancing economics and the people’s quality of life.
Green tech may seem like a thing of the future, but it’s already here and many are already accessible to the market such as home solar panels and personal electric scooters. However, how do these technologies affect the environment? Do they truly help the environment? Here are just some of the ways green tech makes the environment greener.

We are fortunate that we live in the Renewable Energy Renaissance. The penetration of Renewable Energy Assets is increasing exponentially even with the COVID Restrictions and distributed energy generation will be the new norm.
As we are coming to terms with this new reality, we will need to be aware of the risks associated with managing multiple generating assets. Information and data are key within this environment, as the industry evolves into unsubsidized full merchant mode.
Before we venture deeper into the importance of Cybersecurity, we should perhaps define it. What is Cybersecurity?
“Cyber security refers to technologies, processes and controls that are designed to protect systems, networks, devices and data from attacks and unauthorised access.”

Almost a decade ago I wrote an article, titled “How to Survive an economic Recession for Dummies”, when the financial crisis had caught-up with me back in 2009-2010.
At the time I went through a catastrophic failure, as all the ventures I had collapsed, I had to make all my employees redundant and see everything I had worked hard to build over 5 years, collapsing within a period of six months.
So, I started writing more as a self-healing process reflecting my personal lessons from my own failures, rather than anything else. It was then when I took the decision to become an expat and start over, firstly in the Netherlands (didn’t work out…) and then in the UK.
Never in my worst nightmares would I have expected to live in such a short period of time a second (some say deeper) financial recession, this time due to a global pandemic.
