Henry Ford once said: "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty." During his time he was what Steve Jobs was for our last decades. He had to constantly learn because nothing he started was defined. We can go even back a bit longer and end up at Socrates: “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel”. Or, as B.B. King put it: "The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you." In this episode, we select seven great functional

In the world of books, movies, and plays, certain gems have the power to shift our perspectives and deeply resonate with us. As for books, over the years, I've come across several works that have stopped me in my tracks, causing me and countless others to re-evaluate our choices and actions. I've been an avid reader of business books, often devouring 2-3 per month during my global travels. I shared the most impactful ones with my direct reports, hoping to encourage a different perspective. Let me

In drawing upon the iconic social science study conducted at Harvard, known as the Invisible Gorilla Experiment, we can relate it to the context of Mergers & Acquisitions and supply chains. Just as participants in the experiment would throw high-speed balls at each other, members of the management board and their M&A team and banks engage in a fast-paced exchange of ideas and actions. Throughout this process, the supply chain, which we refer to as the metaphorical gorilla in our scenario,

Is net zero by 2030 a moon shot or a piece of moon cake? Last week, I had the privilege of being invited to be part of the Procurement Asia Summit in Shanghai. About 300 top international firms, many with a strong Asian footprint spend three days comparing notes around sourcing. I gave a keynote speech and was a juror on their prestigious China Procurement Success Award. This is the updated version of that speech in our usual dialogue format. Enjoy.

Visions are aspirational, emotionally charged statements describing the desired future state the company aims to achieve. They answer the question: “Where do we want to go?”. It provides a clear direction and long-term perspective for the organisation. But how does it fit with the other elements of the foundational pyramid of an enterprise: Purpose, mission, strategy, tactics, values and culture? And how can we ensure that the strategies which operationalise the vision are not on the breakfast menu

Do you remember the act of ‘defragmenting’ your computer? For those less IT-inclined or on IOS, think of your computer playing perfect TETRIS® on your hard drive: Every gap is closed, and files and sections are packaged neatly together. When finished, your computer runs fast again- as it was designed to do. What would happen if we could defragment our business processes? Finding gaps, re-arranging processes, and getting our firm to run - as it was designed to run?
