The benchmark diesel price, which has now declined for a fifth consecutive week, reaching $3.708/gallon for a total drop of 10.4 cents since late July. This downward trend is linked to relative oil price stability, even as Midwest refinery issues impact gasoline prices without significantly affecting diesel. Korean Air has made a significant order for eight Boeing 777-8 freighter aircraft, part of a larger $50 billion deal that helps Boeing compete with Airbus in the next-generation widebody freighter market. This strategic acquisition highlights a push for efficiency in air cargo, as the new freighters promise 30% better fuel efficiency and 25% lower operating costs per ton. The rail merger debate heats up as CPKC advocates against further Class I rail consolidation, asserting that such mergers are unnecessary and could trigger an undesirable industry restructuring. Instead, CPKC champions interline partnerships, citing its collaboration with CSX on the Southeast Mexico Express service as an example of achieving benefits without integration risks. The Department of Transportation's (DOT) warns California, New Mexico, and Washington, threatening to withhold millions in federal highway funds for allegedly failing to enforce federal English proficiency standards for truck drivers. This action follows a fatal accident involving a driver with reported language issues and a history of non-compliance, with states given 30 days to rectify the situation. Explore the Trump administration's challenge to California's Clean Truck Check (CTC) rule, with the EPA proposing to disapprove its application to out-of-state trucks due to concerns about the Commerce Clause and the Clean Air Act. While the rule remains in effect for California-based vehicles, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) views the EPA's move as illegal interference, signaling a potential legal battle over state versus federal authority.

This week, I sat down with Naftali “Naf” Jaman, a man whose career has stretched from engineering roles in the U.S. Air Force to leading open innovation programs for global giants like GM, Airbus, and LG Electronics. Along the way, he has helped launch startups in automotive safety, advised aviation and space ventures, and worked at the crossroads of academia, government, and industry. Our conversation centered on what Naf calls the inception method. It is the ability to plant an idea in someone else's mind and let them believe it is their own. The process demands patience, empathy, and a willingness to let go of credit in order to see the idea thrive.  Naf described how he built trust inside LG by taking executives out of the office, talking less about technology and more about culture and daily life, until he could gently introduce a concept that eventually reshaped their approach to in-car infotainment systems. What struck me most was his insistence that real influence begins not with clever pitches but with listening and creating the conditions for others to feel ownership of a solution. We explored the challenges large corporations face when they attempt to work with startups, often overwhelming them with bureaucracy or diluting their energy through misguided “startup challenges” that serve more as PR exercises than true collaborations.  Naf's preference is always to work one on one, helping a single leader take action on a problem they urgently need to solve, and quietly guiding them until the idea becomes theirs to champion. He also spoke about the role academia can play in solving early-stage R&D puzzles, highlighting his time at General Motors, where university researchers provided critical pieces of the hydrogen fuel cell puzzle long before commercialization was possible. Perhaps most provocatively, Naf shared his skepticism about dual-use technologies, which many in the innovation community hail as a promising path between defense and civilian markets. He argued that export controls and the slow timelines of defense procurement often strangle opportunities before they mature, making dual use more of a limitation than a catalyst. His candor about these challenges was refreshing, and a reminder that innovation is as much about what we choose not to pursue as what we chase. By the end of our conversation, I was reminded that the real work of innovation often happens quietly, in the spaces between people. It is about empathy, patience, and sometimes even a touch of psychological sleight of hand. As Naf put it, the greatest innovation of all is the human mind itself, provided we learn how to use it well.

El transporte aéreo es uno de los sectores más estratégicos de la economía global: acelera la globalización, conecta continentes y mueve más de 4.000 millones de pasajeros al año. Desde los primeros experimentos con globos aerostáticos hasta el duopolio actual entre Airbus y Boeing, la aviación ha sido clave en conflictos mundiales y en el desarrollo del turismo de masas. Sin embargo, este sector enfrenta grandes retos: es responsable del 3% de las emisiones globales de gases de efecto invernadero y debe encontrar alternativas sostenibles sin perder rentabilidad. Alba Leiva, Eduardo Saldaña y Fernando Arancón analizan cómo el aire se convirtió en un espacio geopolítico fundamental y los desafíos futuros de un sector en constante crecimiento. Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos del transporte aéreo: la revolución del aire.

Có nên chuyển toàn bộ các chuyến bay quốc tế từ Sân bay Tân Sơn Nhất đến Sân bay Long Thành ngay từ năm 2026? Đó là vấn đề đang gây nhiều tranh cãi tại Việt Nam và nhiều chuyên gia đã bày tỏ sự quan ngại về phương án này.  Công trình xây dựng sân bay quốc tế Long Thành, trên diện tích 5.000 ha, được chia làm ba giai đoạn. Giai đoạn một dự kiến hoàn thành cuối năm nay. Theo kế hoạch dự trù, vào ngày 19/12/2025, chuyến bay “kỹ thuật” đầu tiên cất cánh từ Sân bay Nội Bài, Hà Nội, sẽ hạ cánh xuống đường băng Sân bay Long Thành. Kể từ giữa năm tới, trên nguyên tắc sân bay quốc tế mới này sẽ được đưa vào hoạt động, trước mắt là với công suất 25 triệu lượt khách và 1,2 triệu tấn hàng hóa mỗi năm. Sân bay sau khi hoàn tất giai đoạn đầu được được mô tả là “với hạ tầng hiện đại, nhà ga rộng, công nghệ tự động hóa và luồng di chuyển thông thoáng”. Tổng công ty Cảng Hàng không Việt Nam (ACV) đã đề ra hai phương án: Hoặc là chuyển toàn bộ chuyến bay quốc tế về Long Thành ngay từ 2026, hoặc chỉ dời các đường bay quốc tế dài, giữ lại các chặng ngắn ở Tân Sơn Nhất. Theo báo chí Việt Nam, Cục Hàng không Việt Nam và nhiều hãng bay quốc tế cũng “cơ bản nhất trí” với phương án tập trung toàn bộ chuyến bay quốc tế về Long Thành, cho rằng như vậy sẽ “thuận tiện quản lý, tối ưu nguồn lực*. Vị trí của Sân bay Long Thành được cho là “thuận lợi hơn” vì nằm tách biệt với khu dân cư, không phải hạn chế giờ bay và sẽ được kết nối bằng các đường cao tốc, đường vành đai và trong tương lai sẽ có các tuyến metro. Nhưng vấn đề là hiện giờ mạng lưới giao thông đó hầu như chưa có và như vậy việc tập trung toàn bộ chuyến bay quốc tế về Long Thành ngay từ giữa năm 2026 sẽ đặt ra nhiều vấn đề về di chuyển đối với hành khách, nhất là vào những giờ cao điểm. Nhiều chuyên gia đã bày tỏ quan ngại về phương án này, trong đó có kiến trúc sư Ngô Viết Nam Sơn, hiện là Chủ tịch NgoViet Architects & Planners và có trên 30 năm kinh nghiệm quốc tế về tư vấn thiết kế, quy hoạch kiến trúc tại châu Á và Bắc Mỹ. Theo quan điểm của kiến trúc sư Ngô Viết Nam Sơn, Sân bay Long Thành chưa thể tiếp nhận ngay toàn bộ hay phần lớn các chuyến bay quốc tế, mà vai trò của sân bay này nên được nâng dần lên theo từng bước cho đến khi có đầy đủ cơ sở hạ tầng giao thông cần thiết. Sau đây mời quý vị nghe bài phỏng vấn qua điện thoại với kiến trúc sư Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Xin kính chào kiến trúc sư Ngô Viết Nam Sơn, xin cám ơn ông đã nhận trả lời phỏng vấn. Trước hết ông có đánh giá như thế nào về vị trí và tiềm năng của Sân bay Long Thành? KTS Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Long Thành có một vị trí chiến lược tốt, bởi vì Sân bay Long Thành phục vụ cho cả vùng đô thị thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, chứ không phải chỉ riêng thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Trong tương quan với những khu vực trọng điểm như là khu trung tâm của các tỉnh thành lân cận thành phố Hồ Chí Minh: Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu, cũng như các hạ tầng trọng điểm như Cụm cảng biển Thị Vải - Cái Mép - Cần Giờ, cùng trung tâm đường sắt ở phía Bình Dương, v.v…, tôi nghĩ rằng đây là một vị trí chiến lược tốt. Sân bay cũng nằm cách trung tâm nội thành Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh trong một khoảng cách có thể nói là lý tưởng, khoảng 40km, không quá xa và sân bay có quỹ đất rộng. Thưa ông, có hai phương án đang được đặt ra cho năm 2026: Hoặc là dồn toàn bộ các chuyến bay quốc tế đến Sân bay Long Thành, hoặc là chỉ chuyển những chuyến bay đường dài đến Long Thành và những chuyến bay đường ngắn thì tạm thời vẫn để ở Tân Sơn Nhất. Về các hệ thống giao thông để mà kết nối sân bay Long Thành với Sài Gòn chẳng hạn thì ông thấy hiện nay họ đang tiến hành như thế nào?  KTS Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Các nhà quản lý mong là sẽ đưa sân bay Long Thành vào hoạt động cuối năm nay hoặc là đầu năm sau. Tuy nhiên, có vẻ như là những dự án kết nối hạ tầng, kết nối vùng không theo kịp với tiến độ này. Hai phương án mà ACV đưa ra: Một là chuyển toàn bộ tuyến quốc tế về Long Thành và hai là chỉ chuyển những tuyến đường dài về Long Thành và giữ lại những tuyến đường ngắn lại cho Tân Sơn Nhất và cả hai sân bay đều có tuyến bay quốc nội. Tôi nghĩ rằng hai phương án này cũng chỉ hướng đến mục tiêu ngắn hạn thôi, bởi vì chúng ta phải nhìn đến với mục tiêu dài hạn là hướng đến đích đến, khi mà hoàn thành đúng như kỳ vọng và đúng như quy hoạch, Long Thành sẽ là một sân bay tầm cỡ quốc tế hàng đầu của siêu đô thị Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Mình nói siêu đô thị là bởi vì Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh đã rất là lớn, quy mô đã trên 10 triệu dân và vừa rồi Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh nay sáp nhập với tỉnh Bình Dương và tỉnh Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu, tăng quy mô đô thị lên gấp ba và dân số lên gấp rưỡi. Như vậy, Sân bay Long Thành phục vụ cho cả một vùng đô thị Nam Bộ rộng lớn phía Nam, trong đó Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh là trung tâm. Như vậy, nhìn đến kỳ vọng tương lai, khi đó sân bay Long Thành có thể được ví như sân bay Charles de Gaulle của Paris với những tuyến quốc tế đường dài và hạ tầng của nó thì không chỉ có đường bộ, đường cao tốc, mà có cả kết nối metro, kết nối đường sắt cao tốc, giống như TGV của Pháp, đến sân bay Long Thành. Bên cạnh đó là khu vực xung quanh sân bay Long Thành sẽ hình thành như là một đô thị sân bay ( Airport City ). Giữa Sân bay Long Thành và Cụm Cảng Thị Vải - Cái Mép - Cần Giờ còn có khu thương mại tự do quốc tế đang được dự tính xây dựng, một phần là sẽ thuộc Đồng Nai, một phần sẽ thuộc Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh.  Viễn cảnh xa là như vậy, nhưng trước mắt, nếu chúng ta đưa nó vào sử dụng, cho là đầu năm sau đi, thì rõ ràng là hạ tầng kết nối không kịp xây dựng. Đứng về góc độ khoa học, chúng ta có thể thấy rất rõ là việc nóng vội đưa tất cả những tuyến bay quốc tế về đây sẽ không hiệu quả, sẽ làm giảm giá trị của cả Long Thành lẫn Tân Sơn nhất. Tức là cả hai sân bay đều không hoạt động được tốt. Trước mắt, nếu muốn đưa sân bay Long Thành sớm sử dụng đó, tôi vẫn thấy phương án hai có lẽ là khả thi hơn, mặc dù là trong tương lai, Sân bay Long Thành sẽ đóng một vai trò quan trọng hàng đầu tại Việt Nam, lúc đó Tân Sơn Nhất sẽ đóng vai trò thứ yếu. Nhưng sang năm thì tôi nghĩ rằng chúng ta hãy nhìn vào thực tế: vẫn nên để Tân Sơn Nhất quan trọng hơn Long Thành trong ngắn hạn. Bởi vì, với một siêu đô thị như Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh mà hoạt động hiện giờ là khách quốc tế ra vào và khách quốc nội đi và đến sân bay Tân Sơn Nhất, thì không nên vì mong muốn thúc đẩy phát triển Long Thành khi nó chưa có đủ điều kiện mà làm hại đến sự nghiệp chung. Vâng, tức là có nguy cơ nó sẽ gây khó khăn cho các hãng hàng không quốc tế  tức là hành khách của những chuyến bay quốc tế dài tới Long Thành muốn kết nối với Sân bay Tân Sơn nhất để đi các chuyến nội địa thì gặp tình trạng là đường xá của mình không phục vụ kịp. KTS Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Chắc chắn rồi. Chúng tôi cũng đi nước ngoài thường xuyên. Sân bay quốc tế nào cũng vậy thôi, kết nối quốc nội với quốc tế phải thuận tiện. Hiện giờ người ta đang mong muốn Long Thành trở thành như là một "hub" về hàng không, sẽ là nơi tập trung những chuyến bay đường dài đi Châu Mỹ, đi Châu Âu, đi Châu Úc, vân vân… và sẽ có những chuyến quốc nội và quốc tế đến và gom khách ở đây. Dần dần sẽ có những chuyến bay thẳng của máy bay Boeing và Airbus rất lớn. Nhưng chúng ta phải nhìn nhận là hiện giờ Long Thành chưa phải là hub. Muốn trở thành hub thì cần điều kiện là hạ tầng kết nối phải rất là tốt. Bên cạnh đó, các hãng hàng không của Việt Nam, ít ra là hai hãng Vietnam Airlines và Vietjet, phải vươn lên tầm quốc tế, giống như Singapore Airlines hay là Japan Airlines, lúc đó nó mới trở thành là một thực tế. Như vậy là việc chuyến các chuyến bay quốc tế đến Long Thành là tùy thuộc vào khả năng tiếp nhận của sân bay. Khi nào thì Sân bay Long thành mới có thể đạt được mục tiêu đó? KTS Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Tôi nhìn đến một kịch bản là mình tăng dần dần tầm quan trọng của Long Thành. Có thể là bước một sẽ có một số tuyến quốc tế và giai đoạn đầu có thể tập trung nhiều hơn cho hoạt động vận chuyển hàng hóa, tức là chuyển toàn bộ hoạt động vận chuyển hàng hóa, hay sửa chữa bảo dưỡng máy bay của Tân Sơn Nhất về Long Thành. Bước một thì có thể chấp nhận là Tân Sơn nhất vẫn quan trọng hơn Long Thành. Bước hai là khi bắt đầu có những kết nối hệ thống phục vụ cho Sân bay Long Thành, không chỉ là giao thông xung quanh sân bay, mà cả kết nối đến các tỉnh thành ở trong vùng Nam Bộ, bởi vì một  sân bay như Long Thành phục vụ cho cả một vùng đô thị rộng lớn, chứ không phải chỉ một hai tỉnh thành. Bước hai là khi chúng ta có kết nối ít nhất là đường bộ cao tốc nối đến các tỉnh thành, những hệ thống vành đai 1,2,3,4 của Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh hoàn thành những kết nối trực tiếp, như là đường Long Thành - Dầu Giây, được mở rộng ra để không ách tắc. Và có thể thêm được hai tuyến metro quan trọng. Thứ nhất là tuyến Metro trực tiếp từ Thủ Thiêm chạy thẳng lên Long Thành và thứ hai là kéo dài  tuyến Metro số 1 lên Biên Hòa từ Biên Hòa xuống Long Thành. Có nghĩa là sân bay này sẽ được phục vụ bởi hai tuyến metro từ nội thành Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Lúc đó mình mới nên bàn đến việc chuyển đa số những tuyến quốc tế, đường ngắn và đường dài, về Long Thành.  Bước ba thì xa hơn thế. Lúc đó Long Thành không chỉ là một sân bay, không chỉ là một điểm trung chuyển, mà có thể trở thành điểm đến theo mô hình thế kỷ 21 của thế giới, đó là đô thị sân bay. Về đô thị sân bay, tôi có đi thăm và làm việc với các đồng nghiệp ở sân bay Charles de Gaulle, họ có đưa lên khu đô thị sân bay của Paris. Sân bay Changi của Singapore, hay sân bay Schiphol ở Amsterdam thì đi khá xa với mô hình đô thị sân bay. Đến đó chúng ta thấy sân bay trở thành một điểm đến hấp dẫn. Khi hạ cánh xuống người ta có thể lựa chọn ở lại sân bay, có khách sạn, có căn hộ, rồi có dịch vụ thương mại, thậm chí là công viên giải trí. Bước ba thì Long Thành sẽ trở thành thứ nhất là một đô thị sân bay. Thứ hai là khu thương mại tự do kết nối với Long Thành, kết nối với Cụm cảng biển Thị Vải - Cái Mép - Cần Giờ, trở thành cũng là một điểm đến hấp dẫn. Lúc đó nó mới thật sự là kỳ vọng mà chúng ta đang mong muốn cho Long Thành. Tóm lại, trong ba bước này, tầm quan trọng của Long Thành sẽ tăng dần dần. Nhưng tôi muốn nhấn mạnh là ở bước một, hãy khoan thúc đẩy nó ở một vai trò quá quan trọng so với năng lực hạ tầng của nó. Trong bước một thì có thể khai trương, đưa Sân bay Long Thành vào sử dụng, nhưng ở bước một này, nó không thể quan trọng hơn Tân Sơn Nhất được.

Trước mắt, nếu muốn đưa sân bay Long Thành sớm sử dụng đó, tôi vẫn thấy phương án hai có lẽ là khả thi hơn, mặc dù là trong tương lai, Sân bay Long Thành sẽ đóng một vai trò quan trọng hàng đầu tại Việt Nam, lúc đó Tân Sơn Nhất sẽ đóng vai trò thứ yếu. Nhưng sang năm thì tôi nghĩ rằng chúng ta hãy nhìn vào thực tế: vẫn nên để Tân Sơn Nhất quan trọng hơn Long Thành trong ngắn hạn. Bởi vì, với một siêu đô thị như Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh mà hoạt động hiện giờ là khách quốc tế ra vào và khách quốc nội đi và đến sân bay Tân Sơn Nhất, thì không nên vì mong muốn thúc đẩy phát triển Long Thành khi nó chưa có đủ điều kiện mà làm hại đến sự nghiệp chung. Vâng, tức là có nguy cơ nó sẽ gây khó khăn cho các hãng hàng không quốc tế  tức là hành khách của những chuyến bay quốc tế dài tới Long Thành muốn kết nối với Sân bay Tân Sơn nhất để đi các chuyến nội địa thì gặp tình trạng là đường xá của mình không phục vụ kịp. KTS Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Chắc chắn rồi. Chúng tôi cũng đi nước ngoài thường xuyên. Sân bay quốc tế nào cũng vậy thôi, kết nối quốc nội với quốc tế phải thuận tiện. Hiện giờ người ta đang mong muốn Long Thành trở thành như là một "hub" về hàng không, sẽ là nơi tập trung những chuyến bay đường dài đi Châu Mỹ, đi Châu Âu, đi Châu Úc, vân vân… và sẽ có những chuyến quốc nội và quốc tế đến và gom khách ở đây. Dần dần sẽ có những chuyến bay thẳng của máy bay Boeing và Airbus rất lớn. Nhưng chúng ta phải nhìn nhận là hiện giờ Long Thành chưa phải là hub. Muốn trở thành hub thì cần điều kiện là hạ tầng kết nối phải rất là tốt. Bên cạnh đó, các hãng hàng không của Việt Nam, ít ra là hai hãng Vietnam Airlines và Vietjet, phải vươn lên tầm quốc tế, giống như Singapore Airlines hay là Japan Airlines, lúc đó nó mới trở thành là một thực tế. Như vậy là việc chuyến các chuyến bay quốc tế đến Long Thành là tùy thuộc vào khả năng tiếp nhận của sân bay. Khi nào thì Sân bay Long thành mới có thể đạt được mục tiêu đó? KTS Ngô Viết Nam Sơn: Tôi nhìn đến một kịch bản là mình tăng dần dần tầm quan trọng của Long Thành. Có thể là bước một sẽ có một số tuyến quốc tế và giai đoạn đầu có thể tập trung nhiều hơn cho hoạt động vận chuyển hàng hóa, tức là chuyển toàn bộ hoạt động vận chuyển hàng hóa, hay sửa chữa bảo dưỡng máy bay của Tân Sơn Nhất về Long Thành. Bước một thì có thể chấp nhận là Tân Sơn nhất vẫn quan trọng hơn Long Thành. Bước hai là khi bắt đầu có những kết nối hệ thống phục vụ cho Sân bay Long Thành, không chỉ là giao thông xung quanh sân bay, mà cả kết nối đến các tỉnh thành ở trong vùng Nam Bộ, bởi vì một  sân bay như Long Thành phục vụ cho cả một vùng đô thị rộng lớn, chứ không phải chỉ một hai tỉnh thành. Bước hai là khi chúng ta có kết nối ít nhất là đường bộ cao tốc nối đến các tỉnh thành, những hệ thống vành đai 1,2,3,4 của Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh hoàn thành những kết nối trực tiếp, như là đường Long Thành - Dầu Giây, được mở rộng ra để không ách tắc. Và có thể thêm được hai tuyến metro quan trọng. Thứ nhất là tuyến Metro trực tiếp từ Thủ Thiêm chạy thẳng lên Long Thành và thứ hai là kéo dài  tuyến Metro số 1 lên Biên Hòa từ Biên Hòa xuống Long Thành. Có nghĩa là sân bay này sẽ được phục vụ bởi hai tuyến metro từ nội thành Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Lúc đó mình mới nên bàn đến việc chuyển đa số những tuyến quốc tế, đường ngắn và đường dài, về Long Thành.  Bước ba thì xa hơn thế. Lúc đó Long Thành không chỉ là một sân bay, không chỉ là một điểm trung chuyển, mà có thể trở thành điểm đến theo mô hình thế kỷ 21 của thế giới, đó là đô thị sân bay. Về đô thị sân bay, tôi có đi thăm và làm việc với các đồng nghiệp ở sân bay Charles de Gaulle, họ có đưa lên khu đô thị sân bay của Paris. Sân bay Changi của Singapore, hay sân bay Schiphol ở Amsterdam thì đi khá xa với mô hình đô thị sân bay. Đến đó chúng ta thấy sân bay trở thành một điểm đến hấp dẫn. Khi hạ cánh xuống người ta có thể lựa chọn ở lại sân bay, có khách sạn, có căn hộ, rồi có dịch vụ thương mại, thậm chí là công viên giải trí. Bước ba thì Long Thành sẽ trở thành thứ nhất là một đô thị sân bay. Thứ hai là khu thương mại tự do kết nối với Long Thành, kết nối với Cụm cảng biển Thị Vải - Cái Mép - Cần Giờ, trở thành cũng là một điểm đến hấp dẫn. Lúc đó nó mới thật sự là kỳ vọng mà chúng ta đang mong muốn cho Long Thành. Tóm lại, trong ba bước này, tầm quan trọng của Long Thành sẽ tăng dần dần. Nhưng tôi muốn nhấn mạnh là ở bước một, hãy khoan thúc đẩy nó ở một vai trò quá quan trọng so với năng lực hạ tầng của nó. Trong bước một thì có thể khai trương, đưa Sân bay Long Thành vào sử dụng, nhưng ở bước một này, nó không thể quan trọng hơn Tân Sơn Nhất được.

Dwight Robinson is the deputy chief pilot of flight testing at Airbus. Last year, his flying career was almost cut short when he was hospitalized with Atrial Fibrillation. But despite losing his medical, and battling the effects of his condition, Dwight made a decision. One way or another, he told himself, he was going to fly again. Against all odds, he did just that. In roughly a year, Dwight was back to flying, with no further heart complications. His story exemplifies a spirit of of perseverance and self-advocacy from which we can learn.

Wasserstoff bietet ein enormes Potenzial für die Energiewende und die Industrie. Von der Mobilität über die Energieversorgung bis hin zur industriellen Nutzung wird Wasserstoff als Lösung für eine klimafreundliche Zukunft diskutiert. Er kann Energie speichern und transportieren, kommt jedoch kaum in reiner Form in der Natur vor. Um ihn nutzbar zu machen, sind technische Verfahren wie die Elektrolyse oder Dampfreformierung notwendig. Eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit ist die Gewinnung von Wasserstoff aus bereits vorhandenen Gasgemischen – zum Beispiel aus Prozess- und Abgasen, Erdgas oder Biogas. Hier kommt das elektrochemische Separationsverfahren (EHS-Verfahren) zum Einsatz, über das ich mich heute mit Dr. Thomas Klaue, Geschäftsführer der Siqens, unterhalten möchte. Über Dr. Thomas Klaue Dr. Thomas Klaue ist seit 2019 im Beirat und wurde im Juli 2022 zum CEO der SIQENS GmbH ernannt mit dem Auftrag, die Gesellschaft zu einem internationalen Anbieter von Wasserstoff-Infrastrukturlösungen und von netzunabhängigen Lösungen zur Stromversorgung für kritische Infrastrukturen zu entwickeln. Dieser Aufgabe voraus gingen rund 20 Jahre als CFO und CEO in meist börsennotierten Unternehmen im Healthcare/Life Science und im Technologiebereich. Dazu gehörten Stationen bei Injex Pharma GmbH (Medtech), MK-Kliniken AG (Health Care) und Medigene AG (Biotech-Pharma). Als Vice President Business Development bei Infineon Technologies AG war er verantwortlich für das Corporate Venture Capital und das globale BioChip-Geschäft. Davor arbeitete er als Leiter der M&A-Abteilung der DASA (heute Airbus) an der Neuausrichtung der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie in die heutigen Europäischen Strukturen. Über Siqens SIQENS, gegründet 2012 in München, ist ein Anbieter von Methanol-Brennstoffzellen und Technologie zur elektrochemischen Wasserstoffabscheidung (EHS). Die Methanol-Brennstoffzellenmodule des Unternehmens (Ecoport) kommen zur Notstromversorgung in sicherheitskritischen Anwendungen und Orten ohne Anbindung ans Stromnetz zum Einsatz. Auf Grundlage des patentierten Hochtemperatur-Polymerelektrolytmembran (HT-PEM) -Technologieportfolios für die Stromerzeugung bietet SIQENS Lösungen zur Abtrennung und Reinigung von Wasserstoff am Verbrauchsort aus verschiedenen Ausgangsgasen – beispielsweise aus Wasserstoffbeimischungen im Erdgasnetz oder Reformatgasen von Methanol und Biogas. Das SIQENS-Technologieportfolio adressiert die Herausforderung der Wasserstoffversorgung auf der letzten Meile: Dekarbonisierung von Stromerzeugung, Transport und Industrie durch Kostensenkung der Wasserstoffbereitstellung.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-from-crisis-to-advantage-how-india-can-outplay-the-trump-tariff-gambit-13923031.htmlA simple summary of the recent brouhaha about President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on India as well as his comment on India's ‘dead economy' is the following from Shakespeare's Macbeth: “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. Trump further imposed punitive tariffs totalling 50% on August 6th allegedly for India funding Russia's war machine via buying oil.As any negotiator knows, a good opening gambit is intended to set the stage for further parleys, so that you could arrive at a negotiated settlement that is acceptable to both parties. The opening gambit could well be a maximalist statement, or one's ‘dream outcome', the opposite of which is ‘the walkway point' beyond which you are simply not willing to make concessions. The usual outcome is somewhere in between these two positions or postures.Trump is both a tough negotiator, and prone to making broad statements from which he has no problem retreating later. It's down-and-dirty boardroom tactics that he's bringing to international trade. Therefore I think Indians don't need to get rattled. It's not the end of the world, and there will be climbdowns and adjustments. Think hard about the long term.I was on a panel discussion on this topic on TV just hours after Trump made his initial 25% announcement, and I mentioned an interplay between geo-politics and geo-economics. Trump is annoyed that his Ukraine-Russia play is not making much headway, and also that BRICS is making progress towards de-dollarization. India is caught in this crossfire (‘collateral damage') but the geo-economic facts on the ground are not favorable to Trump.I am in general agreement with Trump on his objectives of bringing manufacturing and investment back to the US, but I am not sure that he will succeed, and anyway his strong-arm tactics may backfire. I consider below what India should be prepared to do to turn adversity into opportunity.The anti-Thucydides Trap and the baleful influence of Whitehall on Deep StateWhat is remarkable, though, is that Trump 2.0 seems to be indistinguishable from the Deep State: I wondered last month if the Deep State had ‘turned' Trump. The main reason many people supported Trump in the first place was the damage the Deep State was wreaking on the US under the Obama-Biden regime. But it appears that the resourceful Deep State has now co-opted Trump for its agenda, and I can only speculate how.The net result is that there is the anti-Thucydides Trap: here is the incumbent power, the US, actively supporting the insurgent power, China, instead of suppressing it, as Graham Allison suggested as the historical pattern. It, in all fairness, did not start with Trump, but with Nixon in China in 1971. In 1985, the US trade deficit with China was $6 million. In 1986, $1.78 billion. In 1995, $35 billion.But it ballooned after China entered the WTO in 2001. $202 billion in 2005; $386 billion in 2022.In 2025, after threatening China with 150% tariffs, Trump retreated by postponing them; besides he has caved in to Chinese demands for Nvidia chips and for exemptions from Iran oil sanctions if I am not mistaken.All this can be explained by one word: leverage. China lured the US with the siren-song of the cost-leader ‘China price', tempting CEOs and Wall Street, who sleepwalked into surrender to the heft of the Chinese supply chain.Now China has cornered Trump via its monopoly over various things, the most obvious of which is rare earths. Trump really has no option but to give in to Chinese blackmail. That must make him furious: in addition to his inability to get Putin to listen to him, Xi is also ignoring him. Therefore, he will take out his frustrations on others, such as India, the EU, Japan, etc. Never mind that he's burning bridges with them.There's a Malayalam proverb that's relevant here: “angadiyil thottathinu ammayodu”. Meaning, you were humiliated in the marketplace, so you come home and take it out on your mother. This is quite likely what Trump is doing, because he believes India et al will not retaliate. In fact Japan and the EU did not retaliate, but gave in, also promising to invest large sums in the US. India could consider a different path: not active conflict, but not giving in either, because its equations with the US are different from those of the EU or Japan.Even the normally docile Japanese are beginning to notice.Beyond that, I suggested a couple of years ago that Deep State has a plan to enter into a condominium agreement with China, so that China gets Asia, and the US gets the Americas and the Pacific/Atlantic. This is exactly like the Vatican-brokered medieval division of the world between Spain and Portugal, and it probably will be equally bad for everyone else. And incidentally it makes the Quad infructuous, and deepens distrust of American motives.The Chinese are sure that they have achieved the condominium, or rather forced the Americans into it. Here is a headline from the Financial Express about their reaction to the tariffs: they are delighted that the principal obstacle in their quest for hegemony, a US-India military and economic alliance, is being blown up by Trump, and they lose no opportunity to deride India as not quite up to the mark, whereas they and the US have achieved a G2 detente.Two birds with one stone: gloat about the breakdown in the US-India relationship, and exhibit their racist disdain for India yet again.They laugh, but I bet India can do an end-run around them. As noted above, the G2 is a lot like the division of the world into Spanish and Portuguese spheres of influence in 1494. Well, that didn't end too well for either of them. They had their empires, which they looted for gold and slaves, but it made them fat, dumb and happy. The Dutch, English, and French capitalized on more dynamic economies, flexible colonial systems, and aggressive competition, overtaking the Iberian powers in global influence by the 17th century. This is a salutary historical parallel.I have long suspected that the US Deep State is being led by the nose by the malign Whitehall (the British Deep State): I call it the ‘master-blaster' syndrome. On August 6th, there was indirect confirmation of this in ex-British PM Boris Johnson's tweet about India. Let us remember he single-handedly ruined the chances of a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine War in 2022. Whitehall's mischief and meddling all over, if you read between the lines.Did I mention the British Special Force's views? Ah, Whitehall is getting a bit sloppy in its propaganda.Wait, so is India important (according to Whitehall) or unimportant (according to Trump)?Since I am very pro-American, I have a word of warning to Trump: you trust perfidious Albion at your peril. Their country is ruined, and they will not rest until they ruin yours too.I also wonder if there are British paw-prints in a recent and sudden spate of racist attacks on Indians in Ireland. A 6-year old girl was assaulted and kicked in the private parts. A nurse was gang-raped by a bunch of teenagers. Ireland has never been so racist against Indians (yes, I do remember the sad case of Savita Halappanavar, but that was religious bigotry more than racism). And I remember sudden spikes in anti-Indian attacks in Australia and Canada, both British vassals.There is no point in Indians whining about how the EU and America itself are buying more oil, palladium, rare earths, uranium etc. from Russia than India is. I am sorry to say this, but Western nations are known for hypocrisy. For example, exactly 80 years ago they dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, but not on Germany or Italy. Why? The answer is uncomfortable. Lovely post-facto rationalization, isn't it?Remember the late lamented British East India Company that raped and pillaged India?Applying the three winning strategies to geo-economicsAs a professor of business strategy and innovation, I emphasize to my students that there are three broad ways of gaining an advantage over others: 1. Be the cost leader, 2. Be the most customer-intimate player, 3. Innovate. The US as a nation is patently not playing the cost leader; it does have some customer intimacy, but it is shrinking; its strength is in innovation.If you look at comparative advantage, the US at one time had strengths in all three of the above. Because it had the scale of a large market (and its most obvious competitors in Europe were decimated by world wars) America did enjoy an ability to be cost-competitive, especially as the dollar is the global default reserve currency. It demonstrated this by pushing through the Plaza Accords, forcing the Japanese yen to appreciate, destroying their cost advantage.In terms of customer intimacy, the US is losing its edge. Take cars for example: Americans practically invented them, and dominated the business, but they are in headlong retreat now because they simply don't make cars that people want outside the US: Japanese, Koreans, Germans and now Chinese do. Why were Ford and GM forced to leave the India market? Their “world cars” are no good in value-conscious India and other emerging markets.Innovation, yes, has been an American strength. Iconic Americans like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs led the way in product and process innovation. US universities have produced idea after idea, and startups have ignited Silicon Valley. In fact Big Tech and aerospace/armaments are the biggest areas where the US leads these days.The armaments and aerospace tradeThat is pertinent because of two reasons: one is Trump's peevishness at India's purchase of weapons from Russia (even though that has come down from 70+% of imports to 36% according to SIPRI); two is the fact that there are significant services and intangible imports by India from the US, of for instance Big Tech services, even some routed through third countries like Ireland.Armaments and aerospace purchases from the US by India have gone up a lot: for example the Apache helicopters that arrived recently, the GE 404 engines ordered for India's indigenous fighter aircraft, Predator drones and P8-i Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft. I suspect Trump is intent on pushing India to buy F-35s, the $110-million dollar 5th generation fighters.Unfortunately, the F-35 has a spotty track record. There were two crashes recently, one in Albuquerque in May, and the other on July 31 in Fresno, and that's $220 million dollars gone. Besides, the spectacle of a hapless British-owned F-35B sitting, forlorn, in the rain, in Trivandrum airport for weeks, lent itself to trolls, who made it the butt of jokes. I suspect India has firmly rebuffed Trump on this front, which has led to his focus on Russian arms.There might be other pushbacks too. Personally, I think India does need more P-8i submarine hunter-killer aircraft to patrol the Bay of Bengal, but India is exerting its buyer power. There are rumors of pauses in orders for Javelin and Stryker missiles as well.On the civilian aerospace front, I am astonished that all the media stories about Air India 171 and the suspicion that Boeing and/or General Electric are at fault have disappeared without a trace. Why? There had been the big narrative push to blame the poor pilots, and now that there is more than reasonable doubt that these US MNCs are to blame, there is a media blackout?Allegations about poor manufacturing practices by Boeing in North Charleston, South Carolina by whistleblowers have been damaging for the company's brand: this is where the 787 Dreamliners are put together. It would not be surprising if there is a slew of cancellations of orders for Boeing aircraft, with customers moving to Airbus. Let us note Air India and Indigo have placed some very large, multi-billion dollar orders with Boeing that may be in jeopardy.India as a consuming economy, and the services trade is hugely in the US' favorMany observers have pointed out the obvious fact that India is not an export-oriented economy, unlike, say, Japan or China. It is more of a consuming economy with a large, growing and increasingly less frugal population, and therefore it is a target for exporters rather than a competitor for exporting countries. As such, the impact of these US tariffs on India will be somewhat muted, and there are alternative destinations for India's exports, if need be.While Trump has focused on merchandise trade and India's modest surplus there, it is likely that there is a massive services trade, which is in the US' favor. All those Big Tech firms, such as Microsoft, Meta, Google and so on run a surplus in the US' favor, which may not be immediately evident because they route their sales through third countries, e.g. Ireland.These are the figures from the US Trade Representative, and quite frankly I don't believe them: there are a lot of invisible services being sold to India, and the value of Indian data is ignored.In addition to the financial implications, there are national security concerns. Take the case of Microsoft's cloud offering, Azure, which arbitrarily turned off services to Indian oil retailer Nayara on the flimsy grounds that the latter had substantial investment from Russia's Rosneft. This is an example of jurisdictional over-reach by US companies, which has dire consequences. India has been lax about controlling Big Tech, and this has to change.India is Meta's largest customer base. Whatsapp is used for practically everything. Which means that Meta has access to enormous amounts of Indian customer data, for which India is not even enforcing local storage. This is true of all other Big Tech (see OpenAI's Sam Altman below): they are playing fast and loose with Indian data, which is not in India's interest at all.Data is the new oil, says The Economist magazine. So how much should Meta, OpenAI et al be paying for Indian data? Meta is worth trillions of dollars, OpenAI half a trillion. How much of that can be attributed to Indian data?There is at least one example of how India too can play the digital game: UPI. Despite ham-handed efforts to now handicap UPI with a fee (thank you, brilliant government bureaucrats, yes, go ahead and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs), it has become a contender in a field that has long been dominated by the American duopoly of Visa and Mastercard. In other words, India can scale up and compete.It is unfortunate that India has not built up its own Big Tech behind a firewall as has been done behind the Great Firewall of China. But it is not too late. Is it possible for India-based cloud service providers to replace US Big Tech like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure? Yes, there is at least one player in that market: Zoho.Second, what are the tariffs on Big Tech exports to India these days? What if India were to decide to impose a 50% tax on revenue generated in India through advertisement or through sales of services, mirroring the US's punitive taxes on Indian goods exports? Let me hasten to add that I am not suggesting this, it is merely a hypothetical argument.There could also be non-tariff barriers as China has implemented, but not India: data locality laws, forced use of local partners, data privacy laws like the EU's GDPR, anti-monopoly laws like the EU's Digital Markets Act, strict application of IPR laws like 3(k) that absolutely prohibits the patenting of software, and so on. India too can play legalistic games. This is a reason US agri-products do not pass muster: genetically modified seeds, and milk from cows fed with cattle feed from blood, offal and ground-up body parts.Similarly, in the ‘information' industry, India is likely to become the largest English-reading country in the world. I keep getting come-hither emails from the New York Times offering me $1 a month deals on their product: they want Indian customers. There are all these American media companies present in India, untrammelled by content controls or taxes. What if India were to give a choice to Bloomberg, Reuters, NYTimes, WaPo, NPR et al: 50% tax, or exit?This attack on peddlers of fake information and manufacturing consent I do suggest, and I have been suggesting for years. It would make no difference whatsoever to India if these media outlets were ejected, and they surely could cover India (well, basically what they do is to demean India) just as well from abroad. Out with them: good riddance to bad rubbish.What India needs to doI believe India needs to play the long game. It has to use its shatrubodha to realize that the US is not its enemy: in Chanakyan terms, the US is the Far Emperor. The enemy is China, or more precisely the Chinese Empire. Han China is just a rump on their south-eastern coast, but it is their conquered (and restive) colonies such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, that give them their current heft.But the historical trends are against China. It has in the past had stable governments for long periods, based on strong (and brutal) imperial power. Then comes the inevitable collapse, when the center falls apart, and there is absolute chaos. It is quite possible, given various trends, including demographic changes, that this may happen to China by 2050.On the other hand, (mostly thanks, I acknowledge, to China's manufacturing growth), the center of gravity of the world economy has been steadily shifting towards Asia. The momentum might swing towards India if China stumbles, but in any case the era of Atlantic dominance is probably gone for good. That was, of course, only a historical anomaly. Asia has always dominated: see Angus Maddison's magisterial history of the world economy, referred to below as well.I am reminded of the old story of the king berating his court poet for calling him “the new moon” and the emperor “the full moon”. The poet escaped being punished by pointing out that the new moon is waxing and the full moon is waning.This is the long game India has to keep in mind. Things are coming together for India to a great extent: in particular the demographic dividend, improved infrastructure, fiscal prudence, and the increasing centrality of the Indian Ocean as the locus of trade and commerce.India can attempt to gain competitive advantage in all three ways outlined above:* Cost-leadership. With a large market (assuming companies are willing to invest at scale), a low-cost labor force, and with a proven track-record of frugal innovation, India could well aim to be a cost-leader in selected areas of manufacturing. But this requires government intervention in loosening monetary policy and in reducing barriers to ease of doing business* Customer-intimacy. What works in highly value-conscious India could well work in other developing countries. For instance, the economic environment in ASEAN is largely similar to India's, and so Indian products should appeal to their residents; similarly with East Africa. Thus the Indian Ocean Rim with its huge (and in Africa's case, rapidly growing) population should be a natural fit for Indian products* Innovation. This is the hardest part, and it requires a new mindset in education and industry, to take risks and work at the bleeding edge of technology. In general, Indians have been content to replicate others' innovations at lower cost or do jugaad (which cannot scale up). To do real, disruptive innovation, first of all the services mindset should transition to a product mindset (sorry, Raghuram Rajan). Second, the quality of human capital must be improved. Third, there should be patient risk capital. Fourth, there should be entrepreneurs willing to try risky things. All of these are difficult, but doable.And what is the end point of this game? Leverage. The ability to compel others to buy from you.China has demonstrated this through its skill at being a cost-leader in industry after industry, often hollowing out entire nations through means both fair and foul. These means include far-sighted industrial policy including the acquisition of skills, technology, and raw materials, as well as hidden subsidies that support massive scaling, which ends up driving competing firms elsewhere out of business. India can learn a few lessons from them. One possible lesson is building capabilities, as David Teece of UC Berkeley suggested in 1997, that can span multiple products, sectors and even industries: the classic example is that of Nikon, whose optics strength helps it span industries such as photography, printing, and photolithography for chip manufacturing. Here is an interesting snapshot of China's capabilities today.2025 is, in a sense, a point of inflection for India just as the crisis in 1991 was. India had been content to plod along at the Nehruvian Rate of Growth of 2-3%, believing this was all it could achieve, as a ‘wounded civilization'. From that to a 6-7% growth rate is a leap, but it is not enough, nor is it testing the boundaries of what India can accomplish.1991 was the crisis that turned into an opportunity by accident. 2025 is a crisis that can be carefully and thoughtfully turned into an opportunity.The Idi Amin syndrome and the 1000 Talents program with AIThere is a key area where an American error may well be a windfall for India. This is based on the currently fashionable H1-B bashing which is really a race-bashing of Indians, and which has been taken up with gusto by certain MAGA folks. Once again, I suspect the baleful influence of Whitehall behind it, but whatever the reason, it looks like Indians are going to have a hard time settling down in the US.There are over a million Indians on H1-Bs, a large number of them software engineers, let us assume for convenience there are 250,000 of them. Given country caps of exactly 9800 a year, they have no realistic chance of getting a Green Card in the near future, and given the increasingly fraught nature of life there for brown people, they may leave the US, and possibly return to India..I call this the Idi Amin syndrome. In 1972, the dictator of Uganda went on a rampage against Indian-origin people in his country, and forcibly expelled 80,000 of them, because they were dominating the economy. There were unintended consequences: those who were ejected mostly went to the US and UK, and they have in many cases done well. But Uganda's economy virtually collapsed.That's a salutary experience. I am by no means saying that the US economy would collapse, but am pointing to the resilience of the Indians who were expelled. If, similarly, Trump forces a large number of Indians to return to India, that might well be a case of short-term pain and long-term gain: urvashi-shapam upakaram, as in the Malayalam phrase.Their return would be akin to what happened in China and Taiwan with their successful effort to attract their diaspora back. The Chinese program was called 1000 Talents, and they scoured the globe for academics and researchers of Chinese origin, and brought them back with attractive incentives and large budgets. They had a major role in energizing the Chinese economy.Similarly, Taiwan with Hsinchu University attracted high-quality talent, among which was the founder of TSMC, the globally dominant chip giant.And here is Trump offering to India on a platter at least 100,000 software engineers, especially at a time when generativeAI is decimating low-end jobs everywhere. They can work on some very compelling projects that could revolutionize Indian education, up-skilling and so on, and I am not at liberty to discuss them. Suffice to say that these could turbo-charge the Indian software industry and get it away from mundane, routine body-shopping type jobs.ConclusionThe Trump tariff tantrum is definitely a short-term problem for India, but it can be turned around, and turned into an opportunity, if only the country plays its cards right and focuses on building long-term comparative advantages and accepting the gift of a mis-step by Trump in geo-economics.In geo-politics, India and the US need each other to contain China, and so that part, being so obvious, will be taken care of more or less by default.Thus, overall, the old SWOT analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. On balance, I am of the opinion that the threats contain in them the germs of opportunities. It is up to Indians to figure out how to take advantage of them. This is your game to win or lose, India!4150 words, 9 Aug 2025 This is a public episode.

Anamaria Ungureanu: Building Self-Awareness in Overly-Technical Product Owners Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Master Storyteller Anamaria highlights a Product Owner who excelled at storytelling and vision communication, making every team member feel aligned with project goals. This exceptional PO consistently explained the "why" behind requirements and painted compelling pictures of how the team's current work would create future value. Their storytelling ability kept the team engaged and motivated, demonstrating how great Product Owners apply agile mindset principles to create shared understanding and purpose. The Bad Product Owner: The Monologue Specialist Anamaria describes a technically-skilled Product Owner who transitioned from a tech lead role but fell into the anti-pattern of excessive monologuing during sprint planning sessions. This PO, despite good intentions, overwhelmed the team with lengthy technical details, causing developers to withdraw from interactions and leaving them confused about project purposes. Through one-on-one coaching focused on building self-awareness and establishing working agreements, Anamaria helped this PO learn to communicate more effectively and engage collaboratively with the team. Self-reflection Question: How do you help Product Owners transition from technical expertise to effective team communication, and what signs indicate when detailed explanations become counterproductive monologues?

Anamaria Ungureanu: Tracking Scrum Team Behavioral Evolution Over Time Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Anamaria defines Scrum Master success by focusing on team behavioral trends and performance evolution over time. She monitors how teams increase trust with stakeholders, demonstrate commitment, and apply agile behaviors consistently. Her approach emphasizes seeking regular feedback from stakeholders and conducting honest self-assessments to ensure the Scrum Master role is truly maximizing team performance. Success isn't measured by a single moment but by sustained positive change in team dynamics and delivery capabilities. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Stop/Start/Continue with Enhanced Focus Anamaria recommends the classic Stop/Start/Continue format but emphasizes the importance of varying the questions and bringing both quantitative and qualitative data to drive meaningful conversations. She suggests picking specific themes for each retrospective (like testing) and ensuring that discussions lead to concrete, actionable outcomes rather than just surface-level feedback. Self-reflection Question: How do you currently measure your effectiveness as a Scrum Master, and what trends in your teams indicate genuine progress versus superficial compliance?

Anamaria Ungureanu: The Tech Lead Who Nearly Destroyed the Team Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Anamaria describes a seven-member software team that initially seemed engaged but began self-destructing when a senior tech lead refused to embrace transparency and knowledge sharing principles.  The situation escalated when this key team member's four-day absence completely blocked the team's ability to deliver, creating a dangerous single point of failure. Through careful retrospective facilitation and strategic motivation techniques, including offering the specialist new learning opportunities while gradually transferring their legacy knowledge to teammates, Anamaria helped the team overcome knowledge silos and establish sustainable collaboration patterns. Featured Book of the Week: Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss Anamaria recommends “Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss, a negotiation masterpiece because it taught her essential communication strategies for establishing trust and navigating tense situations. She emphasizes that negotiation is a critical Scrum Master skill, and Voss's techniques help build rapport with stakeholders while managing difficult conversations that arise during team transformations and organizational change initiatives.

This one starts with a dodgy lane choice, a Starbucks coffee, and a misjudged underpass. As always. I'm back in the Land Rover — which might be its final podcast outing before it finds a new home — and today's episode is a rambling, reflective road trip through customer service, creative resilience, and the rapidly growing presence of AI in our industry. The day started badly. Cold shower (thanks British Gas), broken editing software, and a head full of terabytes. But it ended with a reminder of why kindness, craftsmanship, and conversation still matter. A haircut from someone I've known for 18 years. A deep chat with the owner of Michel Engineering while he lovingly took apart my ancient-but-beautiful record deck — the very same design featured in A Clockwork Orange and owned by Steve Jobs, no less. And then... a disappointing interaction with a distracted barista and a headset-wearing drive-thru operator. Same building, worlds apart. Customer service, it turns out, is alive and well — just not always where you'd expect it. But the main theme of this episode is AI. Not the doom-and-gloom kind, but the real stuff: the tools I'm already using, how they're reshaping our workflows, and how they might be reshaping entire economies. It's not AI that's coming for your job — it's the photographer who learns to harness it. We talk about: AI tools I already use (like EVOTO, Imagine AI, ChatGPT, and XCi) Using AI as a teaching assistant, sub-editor, and productivity coach The real-world implications of AI-generated ads, coding layoffs, and what it means for creatives Plans for a new AI section on masteringportraitphotography.com And if you hang in there until the end, I'll tell you about a girl named Dory, a gutsy 12-year-old contortionist, and the new edition of Mastering Portrait Photography — complete with fresh images, a decade of stories, and a very special launch offer. So pop on your headphones, admire the wheat fields if you've got them, and come along for the ride. Spoiler: there's C3PO's eye in here too. Yes, really.

Anamaria shares her experience working with a platform implementation team that appeared engaged but was actually struggling in silence. Despite initial assumptions that everything was fine, the team's quiet demeanor masked their lack of understanding about project goals and deliverables.  Through strategic intervention including goal clarification with the Product Owner, confidence level assessments, and story mapping sessions, Anamaria helped transform a disengaged team into one capable of successful delivery. Her approach emphasized the importance of fostering constructive conflict, asking open questions during sprint planning about demo expectations, and facilitating better PO-team interactions to create transparency and shared understanding. In this episode, we refer to User Story Mapping and the concept of Gemba, or Gemba Walk Self-reflection Question: How might your teams be silently struggling, and what signs should you watch for to identify when apparent engagement actually masks confusion or disengagement?

Title: "Catching Up With Ken Munro After Infosecurity Europe 2025 — Hacking the Planet, One Car, One Plane, and One System at a Time"A Post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 Conversation with Ken MunroGuestsKen Munro Security writer & speakerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-munro-17899b1/HostsSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, CMO, and Creative Director at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________After a whirlwind week at Infosecurity Europe 2025, I had the chance to reconnect with Ken Munro from Pen Test Partners — a longtime friend, hacker, and educator who brings cybersecurity to life in the most tangible ways. From car hacking escape rooms to flight simulators in pubs, we talked about why touching tech matters, how myth-busting makes us safer, and how learning through play might just be the key to securing our increasingly complex world. Tune in, and maybe bring a cocktail.⸻There's something special about catching up with someone who's not just an expert in cybersecurity, but also someone who reminds you why this industry can — and should — be fun. Ken Munro and I go back to the early days of DEFCON's Aviation Village, and this post-Infosecurity Europe 2025 chat brought all that hacker spirit right back to the surface.Ken and his crew from Pen Test Partners set up shop next to the main Infosecurity Europe venue in a traditional London pub — but this wasn't your average afterparty. They transformed it into a hands-on hacking village, complete with a car demo, flight simulator, ICS cocktail CTF, and of course… a bar. The goal? Show that cybersecurity isn't just theory — it's something you can touch. Something that moves. Something that can break — and be fixed — before it breaks us.We talked about the infamous “Otto the Autopilot” from Airplane, the Renault Clio-turned-Mario Kart console, and why knowing how TCAS (collision avoidance) works on an Airbus matters just as much as knowing your Wi-Fi password. We also dug into the real-world cybersecurity concerns of industrial systems, electronic flight bags, and why European regulation might be outpacing the U.S. in some areas — for better or worse.One of the biggest takeaways? It's time to stop fearing the hacker mindset and start embracing it. Curiosity isn't a threat — it's a superpower. And when channeled correctly, it leads to safer skies, smarter cars, and fewer surprises in the water we drink or the power we use.There's a lot to reflect on from our conversation, but above all: education, community, and creativity are still the most powerful tools we have in security — and Ken is out there proving that, one demo and one pint at a time.Thanks again, Ken. See you at the next village — whichever pub, hangar, or DEFCON corner it ends up in.⸻Keywords: cybersecurity, ethical hacking, pen testing, Infosecurity Europe, embedded systems, car hacking, flight simulator, ICS security, industrial control systems, aviation cybersecurity, hacker mindset, DEFCON___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Infosecurity Europe 2025 London coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosec25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
