Mark Wojteczko, Deloitte's national real estate funds co-leader, was a guest on the latest episode of Nareit's REIT Report podcast. He reviewed findings from a recent Deloitte report into the rise of alternative property types and how upcoming changes in corporate leadership could accelerate that trend. “We do believe that the emergence of these alternative property types is going to accelerate in the future and that many next-gen leaders are going to be a big part of that,” Wojteczko said, referring to an anticipated pick-up in c-suite retirements within the next decade. “We believe that the appetite for some of these younger executives to really continue to focus on the alternative property types as an investable universe is significant and something that we're certainly monitoring here.”

I thought I had it all figured out—steady career, financial security, and a clear path as a CPA at Deloitte. But deep down, I knew I was living someone else's dream. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my biggest career pivot: leaving the corporate world to build BudgetDog from scratch.

Welcome to episode #996 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Christie Smith is a former senior executive at Apple, Deloitte and Accenture with over three decades of leadership experience across industries including life sciences, consumer goods and finance. She holds a doctorate in Social Work and Organizational Psychology and now leads The Humanity Studio, a leadership advisory firm focused on redefining the future of work. In her new book, Essential - How Distributed Teams, Generative AI, and Global Shifts Are Creating a New Human-Powered Leadership (along with her co-author Kelly Monahan), Christie outlines a bold new framework for leaders navigating a post-pandemic, AI-driven, decentralized world. This episode explores the urgent need for management transformation - from command-and-control to people-centered leadership - and how today's leaders must adapt to rising expectations around purpose, trust and equity. Topics include the power shift from corporations to individuals, the cultural cost of distributed work, and why organizations must stop measuring productivity and start cultivating human energy. The discussion also unpacks the psychological strain of "always-on" work cultures, the promise and peril of generative AI, and how leaders can build communities, not just companies. At its core, this conversation is about what comes after burnout… what it means to lead with humanity, design systems that elevate people, and use power responsibly in a time of profound disruption. For anyone rethinking what it means to lead, build and belong in the modern workplace, this episode offers a timely and hopeful reframing of what's possible. Enjoy the conversation...

Consumerism is impacting all health systems but does this mean the same thing in the same way to academic medical centers, urban hospitals, and rural health systems? Reed Smith and Chris Boyer unpack the growing tension between what patients want and what different types of health systems are built to deliver. From broadband gaps in rural markets to brand-driven loyalty in AMCs, they explore whether “digital transformation” really means the same thing in each context—and what happens when strategy drifts from mission. Later, Chris sits down with Andy Chang, Chief Marketing Officer at UChicago Medicine, who shares how his team is driving consumer-centered digital strategy within the complexity of an academic medical center. It's a candid look at how one system is adapting to a consumer world, without losing sight of what makes it unique.

A tax expert says there is a concerning trend as businesses owe more and more to Inland Revenue. Businesses owe more than $1.4 billion in unpaid GST and PAYE from the 2025 tax year. Only $66 million of that is from businesses or individuals that are bankrupt or in liquidation. Deloitte Tax Partner Robyn Walker told Mike Hosking the construction sector alone owes about $1 billion. She says it is difficult to say how it stacks up against other industries.

Celý díl najdete na našem HeroHero a Patreonu.David Marek působí přes deset let jako hlavní ekonom v Deloitte. Zastával ale i pozici v poradním týmu Petra Pavla, kterou předčasně opustil. Radil prezidentovi nepodepisovat rozpočet předložený Zbyňkem Stanjurou. Obsahoval nevyjasněné desítky miliard korun. Petr Pavel ho ale podepsal. „Nemáme žádné regulační mechanismy, které by zabránily tomu aby se veřejné finance zvrhly. Dluhová brzda nebrzdí, způsob jmenování Národní rozpočtové je silně závislý na vládě a Parlamentu. Třetí pojistkou je prezident, který se rozhodl, že tuto svou roli nepřijme,” říká Marek.Co k tomu hlavu státu vedlo? Čeho se ministr financí dopustil, když na ČEZ uvalil windfall tax?

En esta charla, Andrés Gil, Líder de Ciber Riesgo para Panamá y la región en Deloitte, desglosa la evolución de los canales de atención, de la ventanilla al chatbot, y muestra cómo esa expansión traslada parte de la responsabilidad de la seguridad al dispositivo del cliente. Explica que el ciber-fraude masivo hoy se origina sobre todo en el robo de identidad y la toma de control de dispositivos (personas y, sobre todo, PyMEs), seguido de vulnerabilidades en aplicaciones bancarias y fallas en la cadena de suministro. También alerta sobre la dependencia de “proveedores sistémicos” y la necesidad de considerar al sistema financiero como infraestructura crítica, un ámbito regulatorio aún débil en Latinoamérica. Aunque las normas (Basilea III, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) ayudan, cumplir no siempre significa estar seguro; la meta debe ser una resiliencia organizacional capaz de detectar, responder y recuperar servicios críticos con rapidez. Gil cierra subrayando el rol de la academia y del usuario final en la construcción de un ecosistema digital donde la prevención y la educación vayan de la mano.

– Potrzeba nam jest otwartej rozmowy, debaty na temat migracji, w której domagam się prawa do niuansu – mówi gość odcinka, prof. Paweł Kaczmarczyk, dyrektor Ośrodka Badań nad Migracjami Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. A o te niuanse trudno, bo migracje rozgrzewają do czerwoności emocje społeczne. W RN podejmujemy się dziś prawie niemożliwego: zapraszam na spokojną, rzetelną rozmowę o migracji. Z podaniem liczb, źródeł, bez bagatelizowania zagrożeń, ale też bez podkręcania ich.– Nikt przy zdrowych zmysłach nie powie, że migracje są albo jednoznacznie dobre, albo jednoznacznie złe – podkreśla prof. Kaczmarczyk. Jego zdaniem to, co by bardzo pomogło w tej debacie na temat migracji, to normalizacja tego zjawiska. Migracje były, są i będą; w odcinku mówimy również właśnie o kontekście historycznym.Prof. Kaczmarczyk przytacza dane, z których wynika, że niemal połowę wszystkich migracji w krajach OECD (Organizacji Współpracy Gospodarczej i Rozwoju) stanowią migracje zarobkowe, na drugim miejscu są migracje związane z procesem łączenia rodzin i około 10% stanowią migracje, które można określić jako humanitarne. W Polsce, według raportu Deloitte przygotowanego na zlecenie Agencji ONZ ds. Uchodźców (UNHCR), uchodźcy z Ukrainy przyczynili się do wypracowania 2,7% PKB Polski w 2024, a większość takich osób w wieku produkcyjnym pracuje (69%).Polska stała się krajem imigracji w ciągu zaledwie 10 lat, to dziś mamy szansę na uniknięcie błędów niektórych krajów Zachodu (mowa głównie o Francji).  –  To, że na poziomie zagregowanym efekty migracji są pozytywne, bo one naprawdę są pozytywne, to nie oznacza, że nie ma ludzi, którzy na tym tracą. Rolą państwa jest zadbanie, żebyśmy dzielili się zarówno korzyściami, jak i kosztami z migracji – mówi prof. Kaczmarczyk. Tymczasem, jak mówi, mamy do czynienia z prywatyzacją sfery migracji, czyli sytuacją, w której korzyści związane z migracją są przechwytywane przez pracodawców, ale koszty związane z obecnością migrantów przejmuje państwo.W odcinku usłyszycie też pytania o konflikty kulturowe, o to, czy istnieje związek między przestępczością a wzrostem imigracji, mówimy o eurocentryźmie dyskusji o migracjach, a także o tym, jak w publicznej dyskusji przed Brexitem mówiono na Wyspach o pracownikach z Polski i jak wygląda polityka migracyjna w naszym kraju.Robimy dobrą robotę?

What if the secret to skyrocketing customer loyalty and retention isn't digital at all, but something you can touch? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, host Vinay Koshy sits down with Mark Stern, CEO and founder of Custom Box Agency, to unpack how tangible, kinesthetic experiences are transforming the B2B customer journey. After a successful career as a Deloitte strategy consultant, Mark unexpectedly pivoted from corporate life into entrepreneurship, driven by a frustration with the impersonal nature of digital-only offerings. Mark reveals how sending physical “custom box” experiences not only sets customers up for success but turns them into passionate brand advocates who generate organic buzz. Their conversation dives into the real ROI of physical engagement, how clear customer journeys and micro-wins fuel retention, and why recognition is the ultimate hidden driver for long-term loyalty. If you're rethinking how to break free from retention plateaus, want to spark more excitement in your customer onboarding, or are just tired of stale, digital-only strategies, this episode will open your mind to a whole new set of possibilities. Tune in for actionable insights, real-world examples, and a fresh perspective on delivering predictable B2B success, one box at a time. Some areas we explore in this episode include: Mark Stern's Journey – Transition from Deloitte to founding Custom Box Agency.Value of Physical Experiences – Why adding tangible elements to digital offers matters.First “Box Zero” Campaign – How a high-ticket online summit led to the first successful custom box experience.Customer Journey vs. Customer Experience – The importance of mapping the journey before designing the experience.Journey Mapping – Breaking down customer journeys into acquisition, delivery, and retention stages.Gamification and Milestones – Using micro-wins and milestones to motivate customer progress.Strategic Box Use – Leveraging custom boxes for acquisition, onboarding, and ongoing engagement.Practical Examples – Real-life applications like 57 Hats and multi-year coaching programs.Recognition and “Jewels” – How awards and physical tokens drive retention and customer loyalty.Retention Gaps in B2B – Why businesses often overlook delivery and retention in their customer experience strategy.And much, much more...

Steven Forth has been a frequent guest on Impact Pricing and is a co-creator of the COMPASS framework. Michael Mansard is the Principal Director of Subscription Strategy at Zora. He's an investor in and mentor to several startups, and he started his career in consulting at companies like Deloitte and SAP, so he knows a lot. In this episode, Steven and Michael dive deep into the COMPASS framework for evaluating pricing metrics in the age of AI and agentic systems, exploring how traditional SaaS economics are being turned upside down and why companies need to move away from user-based pricing models.   Why you have to check out today's podcast:  Learn why AI pricing fundamentally breaks the traditional SaaS model of "expensive to build, cheap to run". Understand the COMPASS framework's 14-question assessment for selecting optimal pricing metrics. Explore the accelerating cycles of pricing complexity and simplification across technology waves.   "I think that most people are clueless and do not want to admit that they're clueless. And I think admission is key because admission leads you to a scientific approach to pricing and enables you to accept, to try smaller samples, especially in the age of AI."  – Michael Mansard   Topics Covered:  02:08 – How Michael got into pricing  03:12 – Defining business models vs. pricing models vs. pricing metrics  06:22 – Introduction to the COMPASS framework and why it exists  07:25 – How AI flips traditional SaaS economics on its head 08:03 – The gym membership paradox in AI pricing 11:05 – Steven's perspective on whether pricing fundamentals have changed  24:20 – Pricing evolution cycles and their accelerating speed  27:39 – How COMPASS captures competitive differentiation  34:28 – Michael's pricing advice on embracing iteration and admitting uncertainty   Key Takeaways: "I've seen more change in my part of the technology world in the last six months than I've seen in my entire lifetime." – Steven Forth “If you price it per user, the more a user uses it, the worse margin it would yield. And that's a problem, right? So I call that the gym membership paradox." – Michael Mansard "We need to change the metric. Now the billion dollar question is what metric? And the raison d'être of that framework is exactly that. It's to help people navigate, hence the notion of COMPASS." – Michael Mansard   People / Resources Mentioned:  COMPASS Framework: 14-question assessment for pricing metrics: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/compass-agentic-ai-pricing-metric-framework-your-2-part-mansard-f9qqe  Roger Martin Strategic Choice Cascade: Framework for aligning pricing with business strategy: https://rogermartin.medium.com/decoding-the-strategy-choice-cascade-475d40555eb1 John Maeda's "The Laws of Simplicity": Design principles applicable to pricing models: https://lawsofsimplicity.com/  Karan Sood: https://www.linkedin.com/in/soodkaran/  PriceFX: Company introducing 125 agents: https://www.pricefx.com/ and https://lp.pricefx.com/agents_trial.html   Connect with Steven Forth:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenforth/  Email: steven@ibbaka.com   Connect with Michael Mansard:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmansard/    Connect with Mark Stiving:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/  Email: mailto:mark@impactpricing.com
