During the last few episodes, we’ve been discussing the benefits of a good hiring team in developing job specs as a foundation for recruiting, evaluating, and selecting successful managers and executives. I was recently asked to do an executive assessment for a media company that (in part) provides information to businesses to help them protect assets and people’s lives, minimize costs, and maximize sales opportunities. It’s been a successful segment that needs acceleration, The position is Senior Vice President. Business Intelligence, a B to B program development and execution role. In prior years, Business Intelligence had its own sales, marketing, technical, and operations groups reporting to a profit center GM. Now these groups are under separate functional leaders in a new matrix environment. So, the only people directly managed by the SVP are project managers and an inside service and sales support team. The job specs focused on the SVP’s needs to be a great collaborator in both program development and implementation. Initially, I’m thinking that collaborative team play is a key element along with strong program analytic, development, organization, and coordination skills. However, the hiring team’s job description used words like “spearhead and drive the business” which sounded more like direct business leadership. The CEO helped me get clearer the organization structure change and the matrix emphasis. The candidate’s background emphasized organizational and executive support but not direct business driving positions. That said, there was noteworthy success in business analytics related to mergers and acquisitions and playing a support role in orchestrating these organizational growth deals. In the most recent job, he had some influence in getting his company to create a separate business division of a previously integrated enterprise. He was appointed to a Chief Commercial job where he supported the Sales VP in shaping and negotiating sales contracts at the executive level. The candidate also had nice experience in SaaS companies, a similar to my client. Watch https://youtu.be/gOnzkSmSUMg

Der Deloitte CFO-Survey zeigt Rekord-Unsicherheit im wirtschaftlichen Umfeld mit negativen Geschäftsaussichten nach der US-Zollankündigung vom April 2025. Schwache Inlandsnachfrage und geopolitische Spannungen dominieren die Risikofaktoren, während der Fachkräftemangel auf 38% gesunken ist. Die Inflationserwartungen fallen auf 2,7%, aber Lohnkosten bleiben kritisch.  Trotz Unsicherheit steigen die Investitions- und Beschäftigungspläne, wobei Resilienz und Digitalisierung priorisiert werden. Mehr Investitionen sind für Deutschland statt Nordamerika oder Asien geplant. ESG-Maßnahmen werden aufgeschoben, bleiben aber wichtig für Kundenanforderungen.  Geopolitische Risiken wurden besser bewältigt als erwartet - nur 26% der Unternehmen verzeichnen starke Beeinträchtigungen. Banken (88%) sind gut vorbereitet, die Automobilindustrie (29%) zeigt sich vulnerabel. Die wichtigsten Risikomanagement-Tools sind Szenarioanalysen und die Reduzierung von Lieferketten-Abhängigkeiten.  Der vollständige CFO-Survey Frühjahr 2025 kann auf der Deloitte-Website abgerufen werden.

Our recent SAM Huddle, Thinking Clearly in Uncertain Times, was recorded on April 21, 2025. The conversation brought ski industry leaders and policy experts together to unpack how current political dynamics—particularly U.S.–Canada relations and trade tensions—are affecting travel, tourism, and mountain resort operations across North America. This is episode one of our two-part series covering this conversation. Shifting global sentiment, a steep drop in international bookings, and growing uncertainty at border-area resorts are reshaping travel behavior and forcing North American ski destinations to adapt quickly with localized marketing, flexible policies, and a greater reliance on domestic travelers. On the other side of the business, industry suppliers are bracing for potential tariffs. While some are expediting production and shipping, others are leveraging domestic manufacturing to avoid price increases. Industry-wide, concerns are growing about tariffs as high as 160% on products tied to Chinese supply chains. Speakers: Daren Cole, President & CEO, Leitner Poma of America Tom Foley, SVP, Business Intelligence, Inntopia MJ Legault, Partner/Managing Director, MMGY Origin Charles Santry, President, HKD Snowmakers Chris Steinkamp, Head of Advocacy, SIA Steve Wright, President, Jay Peak Resort, Vt.

Le Premier ministre par intérim Mark Carney, du Parti libéral, est candidat à sa succession et apparaît comme le favori des sondages. En face, Pierre Poilievre, du parti conservateur, perd du terrain. Ex-dirigeant de la Banque du Canada, le chef du Parti libéral Mark Carney met en avant une image d'homme « pragmatique » et « compétent », qui a fait pencher son parti vers le centre, explique notre reporter sur place Marine de La Moissonnière.En face, le conservateur Pierre Poilievre pâtit de sa proximité, dans le fond comme la forme, avec Donald Trump. Tout au long de la campagne électorale canadienne, les vives tensions avec les USA ont pesé. Les élections générales auront lieu lundi 28 avril 2025 au Canada et les résultats seront connus le lendemain. En Bolivie, les incendies ont laissé des traces dans l'Est du paysPlusieurs mois après des incendies sans précédent dans le département de Santa Cruz et la destruction de dix millions d'hectares de forêt, le quotidien est toujours très difficile pour certains habitants. Les communautés autochtones n'ont plus de quoi se nourrir, comme l'a constaté notre correspondant Nils Sabin. Inquiétude des organisations environnementales et des populations autochtones face aux annonces de Donald Trump sur l'exploitation minière des fonds marinsLes scientifiques consultés par le média américain Grist craignent des dangers irréversibles pour les fonds marins et l'ingestion de métal par les poissons, pêchés et consommés par les populations du Pacifique. Grist donne aussi la parole, oui, à un militant hawaiien, Solomon 0Kaho'ohalahala : « Ces extractions sont faites sans se préoccuper de préserver les ressources (…) il n'y a aucune vision de long terme ». Un militant inquiet aussi, rappelle Grist, de la volonté de Donald Trump d'accélérer la délivrance des permis de minage en eaux profondes durant les deux prochains mois.De son côté, l'entreprise canadienne The Metals Company voit d'un bon œil les annonces de Donald Trump. La compagnie minière avait déclaré le mois dernier, rappelle Business Intelligence in British Columbia, son intention de s'enregistrer auprès des autorités américaines pour contourner les règles de l'ONU et ainsi miner les fonds marins entre le Mexique et Hawaii. Ces explorations visent à récolter du nickel, du cuivre, du cobalt et de manganèse, coincés dans des roches à 4 kilomètres sous la surface. « Épines », un film haïtien pour « changer de regard » sur HaïtiL'acteur Mora Junior Étienne et le réalisateur Wil Edvard Germain collaborent tous les deux au film « The path to all evils », « Épines » en français, qui sera projeté le 14 juin en France, au cinéma Le Balzac à Paris. Le film a été tourné dans trois pays différents avec un très faible budget et cherche des financements pour accéder à une plus large diffusion. « Le film parle de couples d'Antillais, notamment Haïtiens, qui laissent leur pays d'origine à la recherche d'une vie meilleure », explique l'acteur Mora Junior Étienne au micro de notre journaliste Lila Olkinuora.Dans la presse haïtienne, le Nouvelliste dresse un bilan plus que négatif de la première année de gouvernance du Conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) : « La population vit dans un désespoir inouï, les membres du CPT, le gouvernement et leurs alliés se la coulent douce… très douce (...) et sont incapables de reprendre le contrôle de la situation ».  Des dizaines de Péruviens inscrits à leur insu comme adhérents de partis politiques700 Péruviens ont déposé une plainte pour avoir été affiliés à des partis politiques sans leur consentement, raconte Ojo Publico, un média indépendant péruvien.Les services de l'État traquent depuis toujours les fausses adhésions, une constante de la vie politique locale. D'après Ojo Publico, 238 000 fausses inscriptions ont été identifiées depuis novembre 2023.Ces usurpations d'identité permettent notamment de fournir les 25 000 signatures nécessaires à la création d'un parti. Pour se désaffilier, il fallait payer 10 euros mais les autorités péruviennes y ont finalement renoncé, indique le média public RPP qui s'inquiète, à un an des élections générales, du manque de transparence et de contrôle de la part des services chargés d'encadrer les élections au Pérou. À la Une du journal des Outre-mers, présenté par Benoît Ferrand, journaliste de la 1ère : la baisse des prix de la consommation de 8%, premier bilan après la mise en place du protocole contre la vie chère.

“If you don't think in 15 years that we're going to value decarbonisation, or if you're worried about the 45Q, it's pretty tough to write that multi-billion dollar cheque,” says Peter Findlay, Director of CCUS Economics at Wood Mackenzie. In this week's Interchange Recharged, Peter sits down again with host Sylvia Leyva Martinez to look at the challenges for new CCUS projects. It's tough, as Peter says, because of the regulatory frameworks, financial mechanisms and incentives that currently exist in the US. To look at these and go deep on the legal barriers for CCUS deployment, Peter and Sylvia are also joined by Liz McGinley, partner at Bracewell Law Firm. Liz leads the firm's tax practice and the energy transition team, and is renowned for her expertise in carbon capture and IRA tax credits. Liz discusses the intricate details of tax credits and regulatory updates while Peter reflects on the financial challenges of decarbonisation projects. In this episode:What will future legislative shifts mean for the industry's growth? How might regulatory shifts under the Trump administration impact clean energy and CCUS projects, including potential changes to clean hydrogen, fuels, and power regulations?How do the costs and complexities of pre-combustion and post-combustion CCUS projects differ, and how are financial incentives structured for each?For more detailed analyis, check out the Lens reports from Wood Mac.

Watch Here: https://youtu.be/Q2QTYAN7JuoAbout the Guest: Jonathan Mast isn't your typical AI guru. At 55, with a Gandalf-like beard and 20 years in digital marketing, he's positioned himself as the “voice of reason” in a landscape full of overhype and under-delivery. His company, White Beard Strategies, teaches business owners how to use AI without losing their minds—or their margins. Mast's approach blends deep industry experience with a no-nonsense communication style. He's not selling pipe dreams; he's offering a toolkit.Summary: In this refreshingly candid episode of the How2Exit Podcast, Ron Skelton flips the usual script. Instead of diving into how to buy or sell companies, he sits down with Jonathan Mast—founder of White Beard Strategies and self-declared AI pragmatist—to tackle a more pressing question: Now that you've bought a business, how do you scale it with AI? With a long white beard and a sharper edge on reality than most AI evangelists or fearmongers, Mast offers a grounded, practical view of how artificial intelligence is changing the game for business owners. From cutting costs without cutting quality, to using AI as a "force multiplier" for human creativity, the conversation strips away the hype and lays down a roadmap that business buyers and owners can actually use.Key Takeaways:AI is an “Easier Button,” Not an Easy Button: Mast cautions that AI won't magically solve all your problems—but it will streamline, accelerate, and amplify your existing business processes if used right.Prompt Engineering is Just Delegation 2.0: The most effective prompts treat AI like a new hire—tell it what role it's playing, what task you need, what the output should look like, and give it context. Then ask, “Do you have any questions?”AI Won't Replace Humans—But Humans Who Use AI Will Replace Those Who Don't: The real risk isn't AI taking your job—it's your competitor using AI better than you and outpacing your entire operation.Agents Are the Next Frontier: Current tools still need your input, but AI agents—autonomous task-doers with goals instead of prompts—are coming. These could revolutionize business ops by handling repetitive, logic-based tasks with little oversight.AI Is a Skill Multiplier: A mediocre copywriter becomes competent with AI. A great copywriter becomes world-class. AI doesn't level the playing field—it widens the gap between skilled and unskilled.Bias Is Inevitable—Just Like in Humans: Every AI model reflects the biases of its creators. That doesn't invalidate its usefulness, but it does mean you need to be vigilant about aligning its output with your brand's tone and truth.Business Intelligence on Steroids: Jonathan envisions a near future where agents will analyze data from every platform—Google Analytics, YouTube, LinkedIn—and proactively suggest growth strategies without human prompting.Start Small, Start Now: You don't need to be an engineer or visionary to benefit. Begin with basic tasks like drafting emails, summarizing reports, or analyzing transactions—and build from there.--------------------------------------------------Contact Jonathan onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanjmast/Website: http://whitebeardstrategies.com/--------------------------------------------------

In 2025, the US will consolidate its position as a blue-focused hydrogen market, driven by policy developments under a second Trump administration. A surge in blue hydrogen investment – with at least three large-scale blue hydrogen projects reaching FID – will see the US emerge as the world's leading blue hydrogen producer. So what about the much-hyped green hydrogen? Has the industry given up on it? To find out, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, is joined by hydrogen analyst Bridget Van Dorsten. Bridget explains why, despite massive project announcements, only a fraction of hydrogen projects have actually moved forward. What are the biggest roadblocks to deployment? Already in 2025 we're seeing financing hurdles, off-take uncertainty, and the challenges of scaling both green and blue hydrogen. To unpack the financial hurdles, Carl Cho - Director of Clean Energy Finance at Citibank – also joins the show. He breaks down the "hype cycle" surrounding hydrogen and why investors are hesitant to commit to long-term deals. Plus, Bridget and Carl look at the economics of hydrogen production, the learning curve of building large-scale infrastructure, and whether small, localised projects could be a better approach. They also debate economies of scale vs. economies of production and how hydrogen might fit into the future of energy. Sylvia thinks it could be better suited to a localised role in microgrids, industrial hubs, but what about data center energy demands?

Title: Ohio University Sports Ad Season 5 Ep 9Topic: Team Business Intelligence in SportsGuests: Matthew Phillips, Business Intelligence at Nashville SC

It's been a while since I last published a podcast episode on @bloomincrisis. As I realized that time spent editing videos was taking away from my writing and other practices, I decided to shift my focus despite having a long backlog of recordings I've yet to revisit. However, after observing many students struggle with effective networking (most recently while hiring for our internship position), I felt compelled to edit and share this throwback episode that I recorded with students at Fordham University more than a year ago.In this episode, you'll learn:❌ The biggest turn-off when it comes to networking❌ Why you might not have found success in networking yet ✅ How reframing networking in your mind can help you build meaningful relationships ✅ Creative ways to leave a lasting positive impression on potential employers or hiring managers—plus real-life examples! If this resonates with you and you'd like to dive deeper, I'll be back at Fordham this Wednesday, March 5th, for another speaking event. Hope to see you there. Good luck!
