A Portfolio Prémium Banki Felméréséről beszélgettünk Árgyelán Ágnessel, Pénzügy rovatunk elemzőjével. 9700 milliárd forintos prémium banki vagyon és 670 ezer ügyfélszámla: a számok folyamatos növekedést mutatnak, ráadásul a „tagsághoz” havi szinten 400 ezer forintos fizetés is elég lehet. A műsor második részében arról volt szó, hogy – a COVID-éveket leszámítva – több mint egy évtized után először torpant meg a globális luxuspiac növekedése a Boston Consulting Group és az Altagamma kutatása szerint. A témában Lakatos-Török Györgyöt, a budapesti BCG partnerét, a fogyasztói trendek szakértőjét kérdeztük.

A CMO Confidential Interview with David Aaker, Vice Chair of Prophet, author of numerous marketing books including Aaker on Branding 2nd Edition, formerly a Haas School of Business Professor. David discusses the history of brand equity starting with the BCG model from the 90's and why that model and scanner data drove a short-term sales focus at the expense of brand equity. After years of progress, he believes we are now experiencing "A revival of short-termism." Key topics include: the differences between B2B and B2C brand building; the need for marketers to appreciate that brands aren't built in isolation; and how to break through in a hostile communications environment. Tune in to hear why he believes "There are easy ways for companies to build better brands," and case studies from Dove and Uniqlo. Brand value has been discussed for decades—so why isn't it a universally accepted business principle? In this episode of CMO Confidential, host Mike Linton sits down with branding legend David Aaker, Vice Chair at Prophet, author of 18 books, and widely regarded as the “Father of Modern Branding,” to unpack why the fight for brand equity is far from over.From the origins of brand equity in the 1990s to today's hostile marketing environment, Aaker shares insights on: • Why brand should be treated as a long-term asset, not a short-term tactic • How short-termism and performance marketing are eroding brand value • The difference between B2B and B2C brand management (and why organizational values matter more in B2B) • Examples of brands that have nailed disruptive innovation and purpose-driven branding (Dove, Uniqlo, Habitat for Humanity) • Why most companies are managing brands poorly in today's cluttered, skeptical media environment • How AI could democratize creativity and make professional branding accessible to more companiesPacked with history, frameworks, and practical examples, this conversation will change the way you think about brand value, brand portfolios, and how to make your brand truly indispensable.00:00 – Introduction to CMO Confidential & Guest David Aaker01:15 – Why Brand Value Still Isn't a Universally Accepted Principle03:45 – The Birth of Brand Equity in the 1990s06:10 – Short-Termism, Performance Marketing, and the Brand Erosion Problem08:35 – How to Justify Brand as an Asset (Case Studies & Examples)11:20 – The Visibility Advantage and 14 Dimensions of Brand Value13:05 – Why CFOs and Boards Believe in Other Brands, but Not Their Own15:10 – B2B vs B2C Branding: Key Differences and What Matters Most17:45 – Why Many Companies Are Managing Brands Poorly Today20:00 – Branding in a Hostile Communication Environment22:05 – The Power of Brand Portfolios, Companion Brands, and “Silver Bullet” Brands24:30 – Examples: Uniqlo, HeatTech, and the Westin Heavenly Bed26:10 – Super Bowl Advertising: Breaking Through Clutter and Skepticism28:00 – AI, the Democratization of Creativity, and the Future of Branding29:20 – Final Advice: Your Duty as a Marketer to Build the Brand as an Asset30:15 – Closing Remarks & SubscribeHere's your list fully hashtagged and comma-separated:#cmoconfidential, #DavidAaker, #brandvalue, #brandequity, #brandstrategy, #marketingstrategy, #brandingadvice, #B2Bbranding, #B2Cbranding, #brandmanagement, #shorttermism, #performancemarketing, #purposedrivenbranding, #DoveRealBeauty, #UniqloHeatTech, #HabitatforHumanity, #marketingleadership, #brandportfolio, #brandeddifferentiators, #brandedenergizers, #brandedsourceofcredibility, #hostilemediaenvironment, #disruptiveinnovation, #AIinbranding, #democratizationofcreativity, #CMOpodcast, #marketingpodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

曾經高舉人道主義理想的以色列，如今在加薩走廊犯下的戰爭罪行，究竟是正義反擊，還是失控的種族清洗？ 《經濟學人》嚴厲指出，以色列將一開始正義的戰爭，演變成無止盡的死亡與破壞。加薩走廊大部分地區淪為廢墟，數百萬平民流離失所，而納坦雅胡政府甚至將糧食援助武器化，導致飢荒與死亡蔓延。更諷刺的是，哈馬斯早已被削弱，不足以對以色列構成威脅，這場戰爭已失去戰略意義。 哈瑪斯的罪行並不能為以色列開脫，作為一個民主國家。以色列應該用遠高於恐怖分子、軍閥和獨裁者的標準要求自己，關鍵在於以色列是否同意盡快停火、向加薩輸送充足物資，並在戰後成立真正獨立的調查委員會，否則這個誕生於1948年的理想國度，終將黯然失色。 主持人：天下雜誌資深主筆 黃亦筠 主講人：金庫資本管理合夥人兼總經理 丁學文 製作團隊：莊志偉、樂祈、邱宇豪 ＊延伸閱讀｜裁5千人、推1萬名「AI代理」，AI如何衝擊麥肯錫？：https://lihi.cc/142bT ＊立即收聽《天下學習Podcast》：https://hi.cw.com.tw/u/j7jy5LE/ ＊訂閱天下全閱讀：https://bit.ly/3STpEpV ＊意見信箱：bill@cw.com.tw -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Episode 100: What started as a passion project has turned into a full career pivot!Four years ago, I hit record on the first episode of my podcast.I had no big plans. Just one question I couldn't stop thinking about:How do we live a good life?So I started How to Live.Shared what I'd learned.Stayed curious.Kept listening.Then something magical happened.I got a message from my old BCG boss, Dean Tong.We hadn't spoken in 15 years.He'd stumbled upon the podcast. We met.Talked about Stoicism, Buddhism, and Purpose.Then he invited me to speak at UOB Bank, where he was the Chief HR Officer.I was nervous. It was a corporate setting.I had a meditation exercise planned. Would it land?Dean said:“Don't worry. I'll take the risk. Just do your best.”That support changed everything.The talk worked.It led to more sessions. More companies.And one day I realised - this wasn't a side project anymore.It was a new path.Keynotes. Workshops. Leadership Programs.Helping leaders reconnect with purpose, reach their next peak, and navigate uncertainty with resilience.It felt meaningful.And it could pay the bills.So I took the leap.Sold my digital agency. Went all in.Today, I've led over 75 workshops across four continents with companies like Google, Unilever, HSBC, and Mastercard.And I've seen how powerful ancient wisdom can be in modern leadership.The podcast has grown beyond my wildest dreams too. Ranked in the top 3% globally and listened to in 150 countries.The lesson?When you do what you love with honesty and passion, it's infectious.People are watching. People are listening, even if they never like or comment.(Dean didn't either.)But sometimes, just one of them can change the trajectory of your entire life.

I had a blast sitting down with Dan Schaefer, Founder & CEO of Native Pet.  We kicked things off with gratitude. Dan shared how his wife was his “first angel investor,” backing his leap from BCG into entrepreneurship while raising a young family. From there, we got into the big idea behind Native Pet: “around-the-bowl nutrition.” Instead of trying to replace what's in your dog's bowl, Native Pet helps pet parents customize it with clean-label, effective supplements dogs actually love to eat. Dan walked me through their earliest wins, such as transforming messy canned pumpkin into a shelf-stable powdered pumpkin with a smart fiber blend, and their breakout hit, The Daily (an all-in-one scoop inspired by human greens routines). We also dug into hard-earned lessons (hello, Target packaging panic) and a huge upcoming launch that brings today's human gut-health wave into pet wellness. Highlights * Gratitude that fuels the journey: Dan credits his wife and co-founder Pat's family for believing early, packing boxes, cheering them on, and making “zero to one” possible.   * The Native Pet thesis: Focus on supplements to personalize health “around the bowl,” so pet parents can keep their preferred food and add targeted support.   * Simple, smart innovation: From powdered Pumpkin to Omega Oil, clean-label formats and taste are non-negotiable—if dogs won't eat it, nothing else matters.   * Breakout product: The Daily—their one-scoop daily multivitamin—became Native Pet's best seller and even hit #1 in multivitamins on Amazon right after Prime Day.   * Where to find them: Online at nativepet.com, Amazon, Chewy, and nationwide at Target, Petco, PetSmart, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Tractor Supply, Meijer, Pet Supplies Plus, and more.  Plus, try the website quiz to get the right plan for your dog.   * One more thing I'm excited about: Native Pet's new GutWell line (launching August) targets specific outcomes through the microbiome—Clean Breath, Trim Down, Stress Support, Itchy Skin, and Power Poop—in a tasty, clean-label, cold-pressed pellet with bold, premium packaging. Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to the episode: If you care about helping your dog live a happier, healthier, and longer life—and want practical ways to personalize their nutrition—you'll love this conversation. Hit play to hear the full story, the lessons learned, and what's next for Native Pet.   For more on Native Pet, visit: https://nativepet.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors:   Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

Send us a textMost of us treat negotiation as a final hurdle. A back-and-forth after the offer's made.That's a mistake.Hiring doesn't end with an offer. And negotiation doesn't start with one.In this episode of the School of Hiring podcast, Konstanty Sliwowski is joined by expert negotiator Stephen Hartley-Brewer to unpack one of the most misunderstood aspects of talent acquisition: the role of negotiation in the hiring process.Stephen started his career in strategy consulting at BCG, then transitioned into high-stakes finance—negotiating complex deals at private equity firms like BC Partners and TPG-Axon. Today, he leads Hartley-Brewer Negotiation Consultants, advising law firms, financial institutions, and business services companies on how to negotiate with clarity, structure, and measurable outcomes.Together, we explore:Why every hiring conversation is a negotiation—from the initial recruiter call to the final interviewHow “harmless” early questions about compensation can set damaging anchorsWhy candidates often signal one thing but mean another (and how to avoid misreading them)How to embed negotiation into every phase of the hiring process to avoid post-offer surprises and reduce mis-hiresThe psychology behind anchoring, misalignment, and missed signals—and how to counter themHow to help candidates feel safe, seen, and understood while protecting your positionWhether you're a founder, CHRO, hiring manager, or candidate you'll walk away with new frameworks to improve offer acceptance rates, negotiate without friction, and secure hires that actually stick.If you want to hire top talent with confidence—not chaos—this episode is a masterclass in negotiation for modern hiring.Check out https://schoolofhiring.com and https://hartley-brewer.com/ for more.

Insider trading doesn't always start with a grand plan. Sometimes it starts with a single decision made in isolation.In this episode, we talk to Tom Hardin, a former hedge fund analyst turned FBI informant, known in headlines as “Tipper X.” Tom opens up about his descent into insider trading, what it was like to wear a wire for the FBI and the personal and professional aftermath of becoming one of the most prolific cooperating witnesses in modern financial crime history.We explore how decisions made in isolation can quietly undermine compliance, and how culture, oversight, and mentorship can be the most powerful internal controls an organization has.About the Show:BCG on Compliance is a podcast from Boston Consulting Group that explores today's most pressing criminal trends and how compliance experts are adapting to counter those threats.As financial crimes become increasingly sophisticated, compliance can no longer be just a checkbox.

“Businesses are wasting more money than they're making.” This stark assessment from serial entrepreneur Paul Polizzotto frames a provocative question: what if procurement's greatest untapped opportunity lies not in negotiating better prices, but in redirecting the millions corporations already squander on ineffective sales and marketing spend? In this episode of "Buy: The Way...To Purposeful Procurement," Paul Polizzotto, founder of Community AI and former CEO of EcoMedia (which was sold to CBS), joins co-hosts Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to explore how procurement can transform transactional moments into powerful engines for social impact - without paying a penny more for goods and services. Paul's track record speaks for itself: at EcoMedia, he redirected over $600 million of incremental advertising revenues toward community projects, powering solar installations on schools and city halls (including making Miami's City Hall the first major municipal building powered entirely by renewable energy), while making CBS more profitable. The secret? Tapping into the 10-30 percent of gross revenues that Fortune 500 companies routinely waste on ineffective SG&A expenses. The conversation reveals a fundamental misunderstanding about social impact procurement.  While procurement teams worry about paying extra for "do-good" initiatives, Paul demonstrates how suppliers can fund meaningful community projects from their existing – and often wasteful – advertising, marketing, and event budgets. These are dollars that currently provide zero value, yet can be redirected to create measurable local impact while strengthening supplier relationships. As Paul notes, 92 percent of CEOs surveyed by BCG believe that embedding social impact in procurement significantly elevates the function's importance and relevance within their organizations. If procurement seeks to demonstrate value beyond traditional cost savings, community impact offers a measurable, strategic pathway to C-suite relevance.   Links: Paul Polizzotto on LinkedInRich Ham on LinkedInLearn more at FineTuneUs.com  

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1102: Today, we're unpacking the Detroit 3's tariff turmoil with Japan, exploring how "Auction 2.0" is reshaping used-car sourcing, and tracking Delta's AI-driven pricing turbulence as Senators demand answers. The U.S. automakers GM, Ford, and Stellantis are pushing back against a new trade deal lowering Japanese auto tariffs to 15%, while tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports stay at 25%. The Detroit 3 warn this imbalance threatens U.S. auto jobs and industry.Matt Blunt of the American Automotive Policy Council says any deal that favors Japanese imports over high-U.S.-content North American vehicles is “a bad deal for U.S. industry and auto workers.”President Trump boasts of a “massive deal” with Japan involving $550 billion in investments and tariff cuts, calling it a historic win for U.S. automakers.Details remain murky on whether Japanese cars and parts will get carve-outs from existing tariffs; the deal comes as Trump threatens to hike tariffs on Mexico and Canada.U.S.-Japan talks included Japan's chief trade negotiator meeting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who says negotiations are “going very well.”Japanese automakers continue investing in U.S. production, with significant commitments from Isuzu and Toyota, aiming to boost local manufacturing despite tariff concerns.According to recent data from Cox Automotive, NADA, and BCG, the traditional used-car auction model is failing franchised dealers due to rising fees, transport costs, and poor condition reports. Dealers are shifting fast to private-party acquisitions (PPA), creating a more local and cost-effective supply.Auction-sourced dealer inventory fell from 27% in 2019 to 18% in 2023, while private-party sourcing grew from 10% to 15%.Buy fees have increased by about 50%, transport costs are up roughly a third, and lane prices remain inflated, squeezing dealer margins.The Manheim Index peaked at 234 in early 2023, but lane conversion rates dropped to 58-64%, below the 70% pre-pandemic norm.NADA projects private-party sales will hit 40% of the used market by 2025, signaling a permanent market shift.According to Sen. Ruben Gallego and other senators, Delta's new AI-based ticket pricing strategy could unfairly hike costs based on individual passenger data. Senators worry this could squeeze consumers financially during tough economic times.Senators are demanding clarity on what data Delta uses and how widely the AI pricing will be implemented, currently 3% but planned for 20% of routes by year-end.Delta says the AI tech streamlines longstanding dynamic pricing and denies using personal data for individualized offers.Critics worry AI could push prices to each consumer's “pain point,” risking predatory pricing amid inflation pressures.Delta preJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The conversation also touched on the role of international actors, particularly Europe and the United States, in addressing the situation, and the unpredictable nature of Donald Trump's foreign policy regarding Israel and the Middle East.What's happening in Gaza is genocideArthur argues that Israel's actions against the Palestinian population in Gaza constitute genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention. He examines the Israeli government's intent and capability and concludes that it is to make Gaza uninhabitable for Palestinians, noting the shift in Israeli public opinion after the October attacks. Arthur emphasises the challenges Israel faces in defeating Hamas without destroying the Gaza population.International Influence on Gaza TragedyArthur and Nick discuss the ongoing tragedy in Gaza, focusing on the role of international actors, particularly Europe and the United States, in addressing the situation. Arthur emphasises that while Europe has limited influence over Israel, there are mechanisms to pressure governments committing international crimes, such as sanctions and surveillance missions by the RAF. He also highlighted the involvement of companies like BCG in planning for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Andrew questioned Europe's power to influence the situation, noting that only the United States, under Trump, has significant leverage over Netanyahu.Read all about it.Arthur Snell's substack column is Not all doom & his regular inciteful podcast is Behind the Lines.

Top consulting firms have repeatedly found themselves facing a reputational crisis. The most recent example was in early July, when a Financial Times investigation revealed that Boston Consulting Group had modelled a plan to ‘relocate' Palestinians from Gaza after entering into a multimillion-dollar contract to help launch an aid scheme for the enclave. In this week's episode, the FT's US accounting editor, Stephen Foley, explains his reporting and examines what these events say about how effective the consulting industry's ability to avoid reputational scandals is.

Un projet controversé, censé transformer la bande de Gaza en destination de luxe, refait surface après des révélations du Financial Times. Au centre du scandale, le prestigieux cabinet de conseil Boston Consulting Group, accusé d'avoir joué un rôle bien plus large que prévu dans l'élaboration d'un plan visant à déplacer massivement la population palestinienne. Le projet « Gaza Riviera » refait parler de lui. Imaginé dans le cadre du plan de paix proposé par l'administration Trump, il ambitionnait de transformer la bande de Gaza en un centre touristique de luxe, avec hôtels haut de gamme, îles artificielles et pôles high-tech. Une vision digne de la Côte d'Azur, mais transposée au Moyen-Orient. Selon des révélations du Financial Times, l'un des cabinets de conseil les plus influents au monde, le Boston Consulting Group (BCG), aurait apporté un soutien technique et financier à ce projet. Le BCG aurait notamment développé des modèles financiers destinés à inciter jusqu'à 500 000 Palestiniens, soit environ 25 % de la population gazaouie, à quitter l'enclave. Coût estimé : 9 000 dollars par personne, soit près de cinq milliards de dollars au total. Un autre scénario étudié évoquait une prime de départ de 5 000 dollars, accompagnée d'un loyer subventionné pendant quatre ans et de nourriture gratuite pendant un an. Des calculs jugés troublants puisque le cabinet aurait conclu que déplacer les populations coûterait moins cher que de reconstruire sur place. BCG déjà fragilisé par une autre affaire à Gaza Ces révélations tombent à un moment délicat pour le Boston Consulting Group. Ces dernières semaines, l'entreprise avait déjà été éclaboussée par sa participation à la Fondation Humanitaire pour Gaza, un projet fortement critiqué pour sa gestion de l'aide humanitaire en dehors des cadres et institutions internationales, avec le soutien des États-Unis et d'Israël. Face à la polémique, BCG avait dû se retirer du projet, déclencher une enquête interne et présenter ses excuses. La découverte de son implication dans le « Gaza Riviera » tombe ainsi mal. Car selon le Financial Times, le rôle de BCG dans ce projet dépassait largement la simple modélisation financière. Le cabinet aurait été impliqué dans la stratégie commerciale, la conception opérationnelle et même les volets sécuritaires du plan. Un contrat de quatre millions de dollars aurait été signé, et une douzaine de consultants mobilisés. La direction affirme que ces travaux ont été réalisés sans validation officielle, mais les preuves montrent une implication interne structurée. Une affaire qui entache l'image du conseil international Le scandale ne s'arrête pas là. Deux membres de l'Institut Tony Blair, du nom de l'ancien Premier ministre britannique, sont également cités dans les documents, laissant entrevoir des ramifications bien plus larges que prévu. Face au tollé, le BCG a licencié deux associés seniors en charge du projet et a renoncé aux quatre millions de dollars d'honoraires. Le cabinet a également retiré précipitamment son équipe basée à Tel Aviv. Au-delà des répercussions financières et réputationnelles, cette affaire met en lumière les liens opaques entre cabinets de conseil, opérations militaires et projets humanitaires. Elle interroge profondément sur les limites éthiques de certaines interventions dans des zones de conflit, et sur le rôle officieux que peuvent jouer ces grandes entreprises dans la géopolitique mondiale.

Show Notes: Brian Stollery talks about AlphaSense, an information provider that independent consultants and boutique firms are using to gain an edge over those who rely on chat GPT or consumer LLM tools. AlphaSense is built for this kind of work, pulling in verified content such as industry reports, broker research filings, earnings calls, expert calls, news, and internal research and internal content. It layers this with market-leading AI functionality that can read and synthesize all of it to deliver consulting-grade insights at scale. AlphaSense Explained Brian clarifies that AlphaSense is not primarily an expert network like AlphaSights, but rather a market company and enterprise intelligence search engine for the AI generation. It offers the depth and breadth of authoritative data that would be obtained from a legacy research platform with the intuitive user experience of modern AI tools. The value of AlphaSense lies in the deep, authoritative content set that is the foundation of AlphaSense, along with the speed and accuracy of the AI that allows users to quickly surface relevant insights. Brian also talks about the major categories of sources of proprietary information that feed into AlphaSense. The AlphaSense Platform The AlphaSense platform features an index where users can go to different things, such as portfolio monitors, research topics, expert insights, news, risk signals on consumer tech growth investment strategy, events, company documents, and talent job executive movements. The dashboard includes eight or nine widgets that provide a list of seven or eight articles on various topics. These articles are sourced from various sources, such as news articles or interviews with experts. The platform also has over 200,000 free recorded, transcribed expert calls, which are added to the library for analysis by the AI. How AlphaSense Gathers Information The interviewers are usually conducted by-side analysts, corporate users, and experts in respective fields. They work with corporate development teams and head of corporate strategy to conduct these interviews. The platform believes that a rising tide lifts all boats, and every expert call that happens throughout the AlphaSense is published back in the platform to further enhance and grow its library of expert calls from subject matter experts who are currently active in their industry.   AlphaSense Use Cases In management consulting, AlphaSense may not be suitable for calls that would be better suited to AlphaSights where the information is sensitive or should have restricted access.  However, the use case for AlphaSense is for commercial due diligence for private equity, where it allows users to get up to speed for engagement and quickly search across benchmark expert perspectives. This allows them to bolster their expertise within the management consulting space. AlphaSense is an institutional grade content engine that consolidates information from various sources, including expert calls, news, research reports, broker research, and more. It offers over 6000 vetted business and market news sources and trade journals, most of which require paywalls. AlphaSense allows users to bypass these paywalls and provides real-time insights from over 700 partners.   The AlphaSense Dashboard The dashboard includes relevant documents related to executive movements, risk signals, growth, and investment strategies. Users can explore the dashboard by searching for trigger words related to their watchlist of consumer tech companies. The AI can then pull relevant documents, such as expert insights, event transcripts, press releases, and news, to provide valuable insights for business development or due diligence. The Executive Search Function The document search module within AlphaSense allows users to get forensic insights from relevant documents, such as executive search, talent, and hiring practices. The AI can also generate summary responses, which are useful for top-tier consulting use cases. However, the AI may sometimes make a guess or hallucination if an answer is not available. This is why the Big Three and Big Four rely on AlphaSense for their consulting use cases. The AlphaSense Research Tool The AlphaSense generative search tool is a research analyst team in a box. The tool is designed to answer macro business questions, such as market size or pricing trends. Brian checks McKinsey, Bain and BCG's performance in 2025, including their revenue, talent, hiring, and growth areas. The AI agent breaks down these questions into subquestions and finds 3000 documents across the content library. It then extracts documents from expert calls, press releases, investor relations presentations, research reports, and sustainability reports. The AI outputs a summary of the documents. The tool is particularly useful for understanding the performance of consulting firms like McKinsey Bain and BCG. Quality Sources and Quantitative Data AlphaSense provides bullet points on McKinsey, revenue, growth, talent, and hiring, with links to expert calls and other sources of data. The AI outputs are deep linked and cited to the source, ensuring accuracy. For instance, McKinsey Sciences for Growth, a 2025 focus, integrates tech-enabled capabilities and AI. BCG reported $13.5 billion in 2024 revenue, achieving 10% global growth and expanding its workforce to 33,000 employees. AlphaSense also has sentence-level citations, ensuring every sentence is deep linked and cited to its source. AlphaSense uses various models from partners like open AI, sonnet four, and Gemini 2.5, all grounded in high-quality, relevant documents. The tool's intelligence selects the best model based on the use case, whether it's reasoning-based or quantitative or qualitative. The AI is a comprehensive market-leading library of authoritative content that consultants care about. Modes of Research and Meeting Prep for Management Consultants Brian shares the typical use cases for management consultants using generative search platforms. He highlights two modes: think longer and deep research. Brian used generative search to prepare for a meeting with a client at a mid-sized consulting firm, focusing on digital strategy. The AI summarized transcripts, expert calls, earnings calls, and press releases from iHeart, highlighting the company's focus on technology, digitization, and AI-enabled automation as the key to cost savings and digital revenue acceleration. The platform also offers an iPhone app for on-the-go access to insights. The AI analyzed bullet points and planned insights on every section, creating a comprehensive competitive intelligence report. The report includes chatter on core service offerings, engagement models, pricing structures, sector specialization, news partnerships, partnerships, and tech bets.    AlphaSense's Generative Grid Brian talks about using AlphaSense's generative grid, which is a generative AI-powered spreadsheet to aggregate documents and interrogate them. This is useful for tracking executive compensation and performance components for target accounts. The grid allows consulting users to analyze past performance and understand the current climate. Another use case is connecting consulting, transformation, and strategic advisory services to key performance indicators, such as free cash flow, human capital, strategic objectives, or EBITDA. By attaching value drivers directly to performance components, consultants can focus on adjusted EBITDA growth, cost optimization, Target, discover integration execution drive, adjusted ROTC, and revenue growth tied to executive compensation. AlphaSense for Understanding Business Development Brian explains that the use cases and projects of consultants using AlphaSense  vary, but one major use case is business development understanding. It helps in identifying companies' propensity for M&A or divestitures, such as changes in management or new strategic initiatives. AlphaSense also offers a deal scanner for M&A consultants looking at acquisitions or private equity deals across a portfolio of companies or industries. It also provides due diligence services, such as meeting prep, company research, trend analysis, market assessment, client benchmarking, and sentiment analysis. Alpha Sense's Access to Information Providers AlphaSense has access to SEC filings, newspapers, trade journals, investment bank coverage, and reports. AlphaSense also has access to other information providers like CrunchBase, capital, IQ, and Pitch Book. The Venn diagram highlights the overlap of information between AlphaSense and other information providers, such as CrunchBase, Morningstar, and CrunchBase. If a company's revenue or employee count is in CrunchBase, it can be accessed via AlphaSense. Alpha Sense vs. Capital IQ The conversation turns to the differences between AlphaSense and Capital IQ, a financial reporting platform. AlphaSense is an end-to-end intelligence engine that provides access to investment banking reports, but it requires downloading them one by one. It is not possible to search across all content sets at once. Capital IQ, on the other hand, offers valuable structured data, is great for downloading Industry Reports, and is a strategic database of financials and filings. It is also useful for importing statistical or financial models into Excel. AlphaSense, on the other hand, is an end-to-end intelligence engine that provides decision-ready insights across billions of data points.

Andy Ruben is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Trove, a re-commerce technology company that powers branded resale programs for major labels like Patagonia, Lululemon, REI, and Levi's. Before Trove, he spent a decade at Walmart as the company's first Chief Sustainability Officer, where he launched global sustainability efforts, led omnichannel and private-brand strategies, and integrated e‑commerce — including the rollout of grocery delivery.  Ruben founded Trove (originally Yerdle) in 2012 and introduced the first branded resale platform with Patagonia's Worn Wear in 2017, helping advance the circular economy across more than 150 global brands. He advises BCG and Earthshot Ventures, serves as Lead Independent Director and ESG Committee Chair at Zevia, and has been featured on NPR, TED, and testified before Congress on sustainable business practices. In this episode… Most brands sell products once and lose the customer until their next full-price purchase — often years later. In today's economy, that leaves businesses vulnerable to rising acquisition costs, volatile supply chains, and growing consumer demand for sustainability. So, how can companies reclaim the value of their products, strengthen customer relationships, and stay competitive in the circular economy? Andy Ruben, a sustainability expert and retail pioneer, shares how brands can tap into the hidden inventory in customers' closets by implementing buy-back and resale systems. He explains how branded resale builds loyalty and trust, reduces acquisition costs, and attracts new customers. He emphasizes the importance of starting small, using technology to streamline trade-ins, and designing programs that reinforce the brand's core values. Andy also reflects on his entrepreneurial journey, including hard-earned lessons about building a startup, pivoting business models, and executing founder-led sales in the early stages. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Andy Ruben, Founder and Executive Chairman of Trove, about transforming retail through branded resale and the circular economy. Andy shares his startup origin story, the evolution from peer-to-peer to B2B, and insights on customer retention.

For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss consulting firm's training.   Too often clients ask the wrong questions when it comes to assessing training at consulting firms: do smaller offices have poorer training, should I attend training as soon as I join, does BCG have better training than Bain etc. When considering training you need to both consider formal and informal training. As we show, formal training is very useful, but not at all for the hard/technical skills it purports to impart on attendees. Informal training, also known as training on an engagement, is most effective when consultants can practice under diverse conditions. In other words, the more you travel and work with foreign teams, the better will be your training. Some firms encourage more global staffing and others far less. That counts.   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing some of the recent activity on LiveWire, which includes a little movement on wait lists. We then continued our discussion on the recent U.S. Government decisions as they pertain to international MBA students; visa interviews are now available again. No doubt this whole situation is causing great anxiety. Graham highlighted Clear Admit's new summer series of webinars, which focuses on top MBA programs' admissions essays, which will be attended by more than 20 of the top MBA programs. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/mbaessay0725 Graham then noted two new articles, posted on Clear Admit, regarding Chicago / Booth. The first addresses a generous donation for their health care focus, the second addresses an entrepreneurial contest which awarded more than $2 million to the top 10 finalists. Graham also highlighted three admissions tips that focus on addressing gaps in unemployment, and two “myth busters” that dispel the notions that you need to have experience in finance or consulting to apply for a top MBA, or that you need perfect test scores for the very top MBA programs. We continue our new series of Adcom Q&As, which is a yearly series where we interview the admissions leaders at all the top MBA programs; this week we have Q&As from Washington / Foster, Cambridge / Judge, and Michigan State / Broad. Finally, Graham highlighted two Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Emory / Goizueta working at BCG, and Duke / Fuqua working at Accenture. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate has two years of work experience to date and is originally from Japan. They have yet to complete the GMAT test. This week's second MBA candidate has five years of experience with a GRE of 326. We believe their overall profile is very strong, but we discussed the merits of retaking the GRE. The final MBA candidate is deciding between London Business School and INSEAD. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
