Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is an exciting initiative, but let's not forget the backbone of global finance: U.S. government spending and debt. Even small improvements in America's fiscal health could send ripples across the world's financial systems, reshaping the game.

As traditional barriers to rural living rapidly erode, a transformative societal shift is underway - one that presents a unique investment opportunity to capitalize on the emerging "Great Dispersion."

As we approach 2025, we're witnessing a "sea change"—a profound transformation from the pursuit of agility and rapid growth to a focus on profitability, liquidity, and risk management.
Just as sailors must adjust their sails to navigate new currents, businesses need to adapt to these changing waters.

As we approach 2025 and beyond, traditional approaches to pricing and margin management must evolve to address not only competitive pressures but also structural changes in the global economy.

The last 30 years of the world economy resembled physics without gravity. But the period from 2025 onwards is likely to test the fortitude of companies globally. Those that prioritize effective working capital management will be better positioned to navigate the complexities of stagflation in a more volatile world.

ERP is where problems manifest, but usually, it is not the source of problems. Engineering and sales are the major upstream sources of new information for manufacturing companies. If the respective systems such as forecasting, CRM, and PDM/PLM, are well-implemented, the rest of the digital transformation becomes a breeze.

Similar to the story of the Achilles, most manufacturers are suffering cuts on both heels, causing their downfall despite the rest of the body’s strength. Here is how to get Primed to Win by avoiding these cuts.

Smart manufacturing is about being smart, not about penny-pinching by using technology. Here is why Cybertruck is a great example of smart manufacturing and a great case of simplicity as a manufacturing strategy.

One of the biggest sources of enterprise fragility is that most leadership actions are episodical, and leadership artifacts (LA) are discrete, analog, and disintegrated. I offer a simple solution to make the enterprise as fluid as water.

In the business world, agility is often framed as a linear process and presented with examples of cause-effect episodes: an opportunity is identified, and you must be agile to seize it. However, the modern military and hedge funds follow a very different approach.

Model-first enterprises will unlock the true potential of the new age of AI, cloud, robotics, and quantum computing. Until then, we will have Adam Savage’s Spot rickshaw carriages.

From dishwashers to cars and airplanes, manufacturing became a global commodity. Competitive pressures eroded manufacturers' pricing power at a pace that efficiency gains could not offset. This calls for being intelligent about operations strategy and technology.

In this post, I share major hacks that accelerate, de-risk, and reduce the cost of enterprise-wide business process transformation initiatives with ease.

The firm of the future may be ten million people working together for ten minutes

Growth hacking is inductive, non-linear, and empirical, contrasting the economic literature's deductive, linear, and abstract frameworks. Therefore, it can yield prescriptive and actionable insights that create virtuous cycles, avoid vicious cycles, and regulate linear economic development. This perspective led to a novel definition of the quality of growth. As an extension of this definition, three development archetypes are stylized as "active," "passive," and "sustaining" based on reflexivity characteristics of the underlying economic subsystems.

Technology comes to the rescue and enables the manufacturing industry to reimagine, redefine, and rebrand its jobs into rewarding life paths. But first, leaders should recognize the fundamental opportunities and challenges

A massive flood of commoditization is coming to Earth, and there are only 2 places to shelter: Metaverse and Universe.

If you want to catch the ball, run where the ball is heading, not where it is coming from. Same applies to industrial revolutions too.

There is a “The Reality Inc.” in every company.

It is the people at the frontline who touch the product and/or look at the eyes of the customer.

Here is how to achieve a true manufacturing renaissance with greenfield innovations driven by x-shoring.
