Hello everyone,Welcome to today's episode of the BVI Strategy podcast. Today's session discusses an article written by the WSJ on job seekers that consider adding their vaccination status to their resume.This is an exciting consideration because it is coming as demand from employers. Employers are concerned about wasting time and resources asking candidates whether they are vaccinated or not, so they demand the vaccination status upfront. The insight here is that we should be careful doing exactly that because it limits or narrows recruiting process to find talent. Listen to the podcast to understand the context.Enjoy the episode,BVI

Hello everyone, and welcome to today's podcast episodeIn this episode, we discuss a piece written by the Wall Street Journal called PG&E Blacks Out Some Customers to Reduce California Risks. The insight of the piece is that our capabilities are only as good as the incentive systems built in the environment we are working in. For a long time, the world used to fight wildfires and natural catastrophes the moment they appear. Obviously, we have taken some measures to secure our buildings from earthquakes and the like, but now, PG&E has taken these measurements a level or two up. They have decided to shut down electricity for 0.003% of their customers to prevent the fire from destroying their equipment. Think about it; 0.003% is now enough to balance the loss out. That's not a lot, but the good thing is, we are starting to think about problem prevention rather than just problem-solving.Enjoy the episode

Hello everyoneIn today's video episode, we discuss the importance of defining the real business you are competing in.Over the history of our time, we have seen many huge corporations go down because they reached a point whereby their defined business has shifted without realizing it.The same goes for your own career. If you define yourself as a strategist advisor, then be the best version of that role, which essentially means that you will never be a CEO or similar. The reason: a CEO is a strategy practitioner, not an advisor.Enjoy the episode
