The radical restructuring under CEO Johnson in 2012-2013 at American retailer J.C. Penney that failed. Johnson made 19,000 job cuts and shut down the St John Bay women's brand which brought in significant sales volume for the retailer. In its place he tried to shift Penney to an upscale image and mailed out fancy looking brochures to customers. All the time neglecting the in-store morale problem created by the deep cuts. Johnson managed Apple's retail stores in his prevous position.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
