Post Malone Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Post Malone is in the middle of one of the most pivotal stretches of his career, blending pop, hip hop and now full‑on country credibility in real time. AOL Music reports that he has just kicked off his 2026 Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll, opening with a 22 song set that underscores how deep his catalog has become and how comfortable he now is as a cross genre headliner. Social posts from the tour, including fan videos and local radio promotion from Indy 103.3 in Indianapolis, show him leaning hard into a country rock aesthetic on stage, a look and sound that could define this era of his biography. That shift is playing out at festivals too. Coverage from GAB News and Georgetown County Online notes that Post Malone headlined the final night of the 2026 Carolina Country Music Festival, closing out the weekend in front of tens of thousands of largely country fans. Commenters in follow up social media threads describe mixed reactions some traditionalists griping about his language, others saying his story and performance were the most inspiring moment of the event but the bigger picture is that he is now being booked, and received, as a legitimate country festival closer. Industry observers on Instagram have highlighted that journey, contrasting his SoundCloud beginnings with the sight of him topping a major country festival bill as a symbol of how far genre lines have eroded. On the business side, Moneycontrol reports that Post Malones December 2025 stadium show in Guwahati, India, injected roughly Rs 32 crore directly into the local economy and generated around Rs 43 crore in total activity, a case study now being used by EY Parthenon and BookMyShow to pitch Assam as a live events hub. That data point is shaping his long term biography as a touring force whose routing decisions can materially move regional economies. Wausau Pilot and Review also lists him as a marquee headliner at Summerfest 2026 in Milwaukee, set for a major night at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, reinforcing his status as a reliable anchor act for the worlds biggest festivals. On social media, fan shot video circulated on Instagram in the past couple of days captures Post telling an Indianapolis crowd that his next record is 99 percent done and that new music is coming very soon. Because this was said on stage and amplified by multiple fan and radio accounts, it is broadly considered reliable, though specific release dates remain unconfirmed and anything about exact track lists or surprise guests is still speculation from fans, not verified reporting. Another notable chart moment, flagged by industry trackers on Instagram, is that both Ariana Grande and Post Malone just debuted on the Artist Power Index after launching their 2026 tours, a metric that combines live impact, streaming and social engagement and signals his current peak relevance. There are also longer running storylines still echoing into this week. Health and lifestyle coverage, including a widely shared Post Malone weight loss explainer, continues to reference his visibly slimmer look on tour and his own previous comments that the change comes from healthier living rather than drug use; while the latest stories primarily recycle older quotes, they reinforce a narrative of stability and discipline at a time when his touring schedule has never been more demanding. At the same time, country and pop culture outlets are revisiting his earlier Ozzy Osbourne collaboration as a now classic example of how he has always blurred genre lines, a talking point that fits neatly with this current country stadium chapter. In terms of major headlines in the past 24 hours, the dominant stories have centered on his stadium tour launch with Jelly Roll, his role in closing out the Carolina Country Music Festival, his upcoming Summerfest 2026 headlining slot, and continued buzz around the almost finished new album, with most coverage emphasizing how this run could permanently cement him as a multi genre, arena and stadium level lifer rather than a streaming era fad. Any rumors about surprise country only albums, secret marriage news, or dramatic label conflicts remain unconfirmed chatter on fan forums and should be treated as speculation until backed by primary reporting or direct statements from Post or his team.

Gregory Daco of EY-Parthenon warns that beneath the surface of a seemingly strong U.S. economy, declining real disposable income and eroding consumer spending power are forcing households to lean on savings and credit — with growth increasingly concentrated among AI investments and affluent consumers. He argues that inflation-adjusted data tells a more sobering story of slowing momentum, while the Fed stays cautious, counting on rising long-term rates to do much of its tightening work.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

May 28, 2026: Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.8, sharper reasoning, better agentic coding, and a fast mode that runs 2.5x faster at a third the cost, with Mythos-class models coming in weeks. A new EY-Parthenon survey of 1,200 CEOs shows 99% expect AI to reshape their workforce strategy but only 42% are doing anything about it and why the 57-point gap between awareness and action is the real story. And a deep look at grade inflation in American colleges: the average GPA is now above 3.5, yet 43% of students meet none of ACT's college readiness benchmarks, 12th-grade math and reading scores are at all-time lows, and recent college graduate unemployment sits at 5.7% with a job-finding rate now matching high school graduates. What's behind it, what it costs, and what it means for the future workforce.

P.M. Edition for April 30. GDP rose 2% for the first three months of the year, rising from the previous quarter but not as fast as economists were expecting. Greg Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon, joins to discuss the business investments fueling that growth. Plus, U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of GDP.

Dans cet épisode des Voix de l'économie, Stéphane Pedrazzi s'entretient avec Frédéric Fessart, associé chez EY-Parthenon, sur le classement annuel des enseignes préférées des Français. Depuis plus de 15 ans, EY mène cette étude auprès de 12 000 adultes, révélant les tendances du marché français.Frédéric Fessart explique en détail la méthodologie rigoureuse utilisée, qui interroge les consommateurs sur leurs enseignes connues, fréquentées et préférées. Contrairement à de nombreuses études, ce classement n'est pas influencé par des paiements des marques, garantissant son objectivité. Il révèle que ce classement reflète une réalité économique tangible, les enseignes les mieux classées affichant une croissance six fois supérieure à celles moins bien positionnées. Ce lien étroit entre image de marque et performance financière est un élément clé à saisir pour les entreprises.Parmi les faits saillants de cette édition 2026, le maintien d'Action en tête du classement pour la quatrième année consécutive suscite l'intérêt. Frédéric Fessart analyse les raisons de ce succès durable, mettant en avant le triptyque gagnant de l'enseigne : prix attractifs, plaisir d'achat et praticité de l'offre. L'invité souligne également l'importance grandissante des questions de pouvoir d'achat pour les consommateurs, un signal fort pour les décideurs politiques. Il évoque aussi l'émergence de l'intelligence artificielle comme outil de recommandation pour un quart des Français, un défi de taille pour les enseignes souhaitant influencer leur image.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

La guerre se poursuit en Iran et ses conséquences dépassent déjà largement la région. Le blocage du détroit d’Ormuz inquiète particulièrement. Un cinquième du pétrole mondial y transite. De quoi faire craindre un nouveau choc énergétique, avec des répercussions sur toute l’économie mondiale. Pour analyser la situation, Ondine Werres reçoit dans cet épisode Grégory Daco, économiste en chef chez EY-Parthenon, l’une des grandes firmes mondiales de conseil en stratégie pour les entreprises. Ensemble, ils analysent les risques économiques liés au conflit, notamment l’impact sur les prix de l’énergie et sur l’inflation. Dans ce contexte, l’Europe s'avère particulièrement vulnérable. La guerre pourrait s'imposer comme un accélérateur de recul industriel déjà à l'œuvre. Par ailleurs, Grégory Daco fait le point sur l’économie américaine et sur la manière dont Donald Trump est perçu en ce moment aux États-Unis dans ce contexte de guerre avec l’Iran. Enfin, on fait un détour par la Chine, qui a publié la semaine dernière son objectif de croissance le plus modeste depuis 1991. L'économie chinoise serait-elle en perte de vitesse?

‘Europe, seize the moment!'  was the motto of this year's Frankfurt Digital Finance, which took place on 11 and 12 February. As a platform that connects Frankfurt with leading European ecosystems, it provided an ideal stage for our high-profile panel discussion on Open Finance. What exactly is the EU's Framework for Financial Data Access (FIDA) aiming to unlock? Where will future product and service value emerge? And what can the EU learn from other ecosystems already years ahead – such as Brazil, the UK or Singapore? To address these questions, we brought together outstanding voices from regulation, banking, insurance and global open finance experience to discuss the central question for Europe's financial future: How can the EU build an Open Finance framework that is globally competitive, aligned with European values, and both economically and operationally viable? Moderated by Christopher Schmitz, Partner at EY-Parthenon and Europe West FinTech & Open Finance Leader, the conversation went far beyond compliance and technical standards but addressed the fundamental questions. Together with our distinguished guests Alice Guedel, Policy Officer at the European Commission and responsible for FIDA, Verena Ritter-Döring, Partner at Taylor Wessing, Daniel Nestrovsky, Head of Open Finance Regulation at Bradesco, Joris Hensen, Founder and Head of API at Deutsche Bank, and Stephen Voss, CEO & Founder at Neodigital Versicherung, we engaged in a constructive and forward-looking discussion on how Open Finance can become a reality in Europe and what it takes to turn regulation into real value for the customers and the industry. Intro moderated by: Peter Fricke, Associate Director FinTech Business Development.

Après la guerre commerciale à laquelle il s'est livré pendant des mois, à travers l'imposition de droits de douane, le président américain, Donald Trump, semble à présent s'être tourné vers la résolution de conflits partout dans le monde. Le locataire de la Maison-Blanche imprime ainsi sa patte au Proche-Orient et en Ukraine. Il a insisté aussi pour la signature de plans de paix entre la Thaïlande et le Cambodge, d'une part, et la République démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda, d'autre part. Mais Donald Trump s'intéresse-t-il vraiment à l'économie de son pays? A-t-il tenu toutes ses promesses après un an de mandat? Et vers où se dirigera la Réserve fédérale américaine, qui s'apprête à accueillir un nouveau président en mai prochain? Ce sont ces questions, et bien d'autres, que nous abordons, ce lundi, avec Gregory Daco, économiste en chef chez EY-Parthenon, Ernst & Young LLP, à New York. Ses thématiques de recherches sont l'économie mondiale, les politiques des banques centrales et les politiques budgétaires.

Kürzlich war Cord Stümke von EY Parthenon im Spotlight zu Gast. Er hat über den Rückgang an Private Equity Deals in Europa und Deutschland gesprochen.

La Chambre des représentants américaine doit se prononcer ce mercredi sur un texte de financement qui pourrait mettre fin au plus long « shutdown » de l'histoire du pays. Si le déblocage politique semble à portée de main, l'impact économique, lui, est déjà lourd avec plus de 10 milliards de dollars de pertes de production, une croissance ralentie et une confiance mise à rude épreuve. Depuis plus de six semaines, l'État fédéral américain fonctionne au ralenti. Faute d'accord entre la Maison Blanche et le Congrès sur le budget 2026, une grande partie des administrations, agences et programmes publics sont à l'arrêt. Le Congressional Budget Office (CBO), organe indépendant du Congrès, a livré une première estimation : l'économie américaine pourrait perdre entre 7 et 14 milliards de dollars de production, soit un peu plus de 10 milliards selon les projections médianes. Sur le trimestre d'automne – octobre, novembre, décembre –, le cabinet EY-Parthenon évalue déjà la perte de croissance à 0,8 point de pourcentage ; un chiffre qui peut sembler faible, mais qui représente des dizaines de milliards de dollars d'activité économique en moins. Ce shutdown est désormais le plus long de l'histoire américaine, dépassant celui de 2019 sous Donald Trump. Et contrairement aux précédentes fermetures temporaires, celui-ci intervient dans un contexte économique déjà tendu : croissance molle, inflation persistante et confiance des consommateurs affaiblie. Fonctionnaires, entreprises, ménages : une économie au ralenti Derrière ces chiffres se cachent des réalités très concrètes. Plus de 750 000 fonctionnaires fédéraux ont été placés en congé forcé ou continuent de travailler sans rémunération. Leur pouvoir d'achat s'effondre avec des conséquences directes sur la consommation locale. Dans les zones dans lesquelles les emplois publics sont nombreux — Washington, Virginie, Maryland — les commerces, restaurants et services de proximité voient leur chiffre d'affaires chuter. Les contrats publics sont, eux aussi, suspendus, touchant des milliers d'entreprises privées qui dépendent des commandes de l'État. Pour certaines petites sociétés sous-traitantes, la trésorerie est déjà exsangue : les paiements gelés mettent en péril des emplois et freinent la reprise de l'investissement. Les programmes sociaux sont également frappés de plein fouet. Les retards de versement d'allocations, notamment du programme d'aide alimentaire SNAP, pénalisent les ménages les plus modestes. Pour des millions d'Américains, cela signifie moins de dépenses dans les supermarchés, donc une baisse de la demande. Le programme Head Start, qui soutient la scolarisation des jeunes enfants, a dû fermer plusieurs centres, empêchant certains parents de travailler. Enfin, la publication de nombreux indicateurs économiques a été suspendue pendant la fermeture, faute de personnel. Or ces statistiques – emploi, inflation, production industrielle – servent de boussole aux entreprises, aux marchés financiers et à la Réserve fédérale. Sans ces données, les investisseurs naviguent à vue. Résultat : un climat d'incertitude budgétaire et institutionnelle qui pèse sur la confiance et complique les décisions économiques. Des pertes en partie irrattrapables, malgré une reprise attendue Si le vote de ce mercredi met effectivement fin au blocage, la reprise de l'activité devrait être rapide dans la plupart des agences fédérales. Les fonctionnaires seront payés rétroactivement, les contrats réactivés et les programmes sociaux relancés. Mais, préviennent les économistes, toutes les pertes ne seront pas compensées. Le CBO estime qu'une partie de la production disparue — entre 7 et 14 milliards de dollars — ne sera jamais récupérée, notamment à cause de la baisse de productivité, de la perte de confiance et des retards administratifs qui freinent durablement les investissements. Chaque jour supplémentaire de fermeture creuse davantage le manque à gagner. Au-delà de 40 jours, le blocage pourrait amputer la croissance annuelle américaine de près de 2 points sur le trimestre, selon plusieurs instituts. « Même si l'administration rouvre demain, le mal est fait », résume un économiste d'EY. Une économie fragilisée sur fond de tensions politiques Ce shutdown intervient à un moment délicat pour les États-Unis. L'économie reste solide en apparence, mais les fondamentaux se dégradent : croissance molle, taux d'épargne en baisse, inflation qui résiste autour de 3 %. Pour de nombreux Américains, cette paralysie est un révélateur des fragilités structurelles du pays : une dépendance croissante aux dépenses fédérales, une instabilité politique chronique et un fossé entre les élus de Washington et le quotidien des ménages. Même si les aéroports rouvrent, les salaires sont versés et les aides sociales reprennent, les séquelles économiques et sociales resteront visibles plusieurs semaines, voire plusieurs mois. Les retards de paiement s'accumulent, les entreprises devront reconstituer leurs stocks, et les ménages endettés peineront à retrouver un équilibre. Le vote attendu ce mercredi pourrait donc ramener le fonctionnement de l'État à la normale, mais il ne suffira pas à effacer les dégâts. Ce shutdown historique restera comme un signal d'alarme : celui d'une économie américaine capable de s'affaiblir de l'intérieur, non pas à cause d'un choc extérieur, mais à force de blocages politiques répétés.

Private Equity macht weniger Deals – sowohl in ganz Europa als auch in Deutschland. Das ist eine der Kernaussagen des „State of Private Equity Report Europe“, den EY Parthenon für das zweite Quartal 2025 erhoben hat. Das Marktsentiment hat sich allerdings dennoch leicht verbessert, erklärt das Beratungshaus. Wie das zusammenpasst und welche weiteren Ergebnisse die Analyse gebracht hat, darum geht es in diesem Spotlight.

Igor Mikhalev, Partner and Head of Emerging Technologies Strategy, EY-Parthenon, emphasizes that while AI has traditionally been used to optimize tasks like refining marketing messages or improving conversion strategies, its real potential lies in augmenting human creativity rather than replacing it. He advocates for a balance where AI supports experimentation and exploration, enabling teams to dream bigger and envision possibilities beyond what the raw data suggests. AI becomes an innovation partner, enhancing human ingenuity instead of constraining it.Listen to the full podcast now- https://bit.ly/41yIYPc#AI #HumanCreativity #Innovation #DataDriven #MarketingTech #IgorMikhalev #Outgrow"

“I like to think about ESG not only as a risk management tool, but also as an opportunity. I think the, the flip side of risk is opportunity. So if we think that a diverse team is what will bring more innovation, more ideas, more, let's say different ways of looking at needs and products, then this is an opportunity….What about if we think about the way that people consume, what is the carbon footprint that we have?.... And how do you reduce it? Or maybe build technology that helps reduce your impact on the planet, or helps you reduce the amount of AI or cloud usage that you use? So I, I think that looking at ESG as a risk and, and as an opportunity tool is actually very good.” Cecile Blilious on Electric Ladies Podcast   In 2025 so far, 2.3% of venture capital funding went to companies founded by women, 2.3%. So that means 97.7% of the funding went to men. The percents have been in the same range for decades. Seriously. Think of all the innovations that are not getting funded due to this ridiculous bias. What can we do about it? Listen to Cecile Blilious of Venture ESG and European Women in VC explain new financing models that could work to fund more innovative businesses, especially those founded by women – in this enlightening conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        What venture capital really is and how it works. How male and female VCs differ. ●        Insights into ESG investing that address both the risks and the opportunities – reframing both ●        New financing models we need and that they might look like. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   “I think being clear about your values is very important. Where would you work and where wouldn't you?... Let's focus on one or two that are the most important things that are like showstoppers... Then in mid-career, what I see happen many times with women is that women don't apply to jobs…but if you don't apply, you're not even considered. So my advice would be, look at the next job that you'd like to have in your career path, and if you think that you're 50% qualified for it, apply because you are grow into the role” Cecile Blilious on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.   You'll also like: ·       Unlocking Capital For Women And Climate Solutions – Women Leaders In Finance And Investment, The Earth Day Women's Summit ·       The SEC Climate Risk Disclosure Rules – Tara Giunta, Global Co-Chair of ESG & Sustainable Finance Practice at Paul Hastings law firm ·       Climate as a Geopolitical Security Emergency, with Svitlana Krakovska, Ph.D. and Mirian Villela, head of Earth Charter, a UN-founded organization and the Center for Education for Sustainable Development. ·       The Hidden Power of ESG – with Natalie Jaresko, Managing Director, EY Parthenon, former Finance Minister of Ukraine Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.

So what can we expect in the next 6–12 months for Singapore and the region? Which Southeast Asian markets are set to attract more activity in H2 2025 and into 2026—and what will drive that momentum? Luke Pais, Asia-Pacific Private Equity Leader at EY-Parthenon, shares the outlook, hosted by Michelle Martin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the Round 3 activity on LiveWire; interview invites and final decisions continue to roll out for this shortened application round; next week Chicago / Booth and Imperial Business School are scheduled to release final decisions. Graham noted the Clear Admit promotion, where for every new entry we receive on DecisionWire, that maps out a candidate's entire application journey, Clear Admit will donate $10 to the Forte Foundation. Graham highlighted the remainder of Application Overview events series that will be hosted this week on Tuesday (Berkeley / Haas, UVA / Darden, Washington / Foster, UNC / Kenan Flagler, and Georgia Tech / Scheller) and Wednesday (Columbia, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, and Texas / Austin). Signups for those events are here: https://bit.ly/appoverview25 Graham also mentioned an event on Thursday for London Business School's One Year MBA program. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/lbs1year Graham noted a deep-dive analysis article on MBA tech career placements for the most recent graduating classes. Not surprisingly, Big Tech placement has dropped off at most top MBA programs. Graham highlighted two Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Duke / Fuqua working at EY-Parthenon, and UCLA / Anderson working at Google. Finally, Graham noted the recently recorded podcast featuring the leader of career services at Georgetown / McDonough, talking about the triple jump - changing industries, functions and geographies. 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 works in investment banking and is from Ghana. They have a 325 GRE score. This week's second MBA candidate is from Argentina and appears to have a very interesting profile, but their GRE score of 309 is going to be an issue. They plan to retake. We also think they should reconsider their school targeting. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Chicago / Booth and Michigan / Ross, with scholarship. This episode was recorded in Boston, USA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Our guest on this week's episode is Brian Lynch, EY Americas Transportation Sector Leader and an Executive Director in the Transaction Strategy and Execution practice at EY-Parthenon. With the ratification earlier this week of the new 6-year agreement between dock workers and ports on the East and Gulf Coasts, it seems like we will have some labor peace that will last a while. Our guest discusses what that bit of certainty means to both shippers and carriers. Mobile robots in the warehouse—such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), goods-to-person systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems—have now been accepted as mature technologies. Susan Lacefield, executive editor of Supply Chain Xchange, joins us to talk about the industry acceptance of these technologies and to preview the latest issue of SCX that focuses on robotics and automation.Supply chains are among those industries where workers face a higher level of risk of injury, according to new research released by manufacturer Kuru. The study analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify where supply chain jobs rank among jobs from other industries for the potential for on-the-job injuries.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean. It also looks at inventory management, 3PLs and more.  All ten episodes are available to stream now. Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

The podcast features Maurice interviewing Peter Kingma, author of “Cash is King” and a leader in working capital management at EY Parthenon. Peter advises sectors like automotive and healthcare on optimizing cash management, contributing to over $25 billion in value for clients. He frequently writes for business publications and speaks at industry events. Their conversation underscores the significance of cash flow in business, noting that many companies, even large ones, often misunderstand its importance. Unlike revenue, cash flow ensures bills are paid and fuels growth, making it essential to prioritize generating cash from operations over relying on expensive credit.https://peterkingma.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-kingma/

By Tom Loozen (Senior Partner, Telecommunications), Adrian Baschnonga (EY Global TMT Lead Analyst), and Sören Grabowski (EY-Parthenon Global TMT Leader) To thrive in the future, telcos must seek differentiators beyond network quality and adapt to changing ecosystems and market structures. In brief The growth outlook for telcos is solid but unspectacular, based on core connectivity and continuing cost management allied to reliance on network quality. Industry leaders foresee pervasive changes to the sector in five years' time, which today's defensive strategies are not equipped to address. Rethinking business models and differentiators, and building new employee propositions and ecosystem positions, are vital for success on the road to 2030. Telcos have reached an inflection point in their evolution. They are ever more focused on core connectivity and continue to drive new waves of organizational efficiency with the help of emerging technologies. However, industry ecosystems, stakeholder expectations and workforce needs are developing in new directions at pace. In this light, defensive strategies based on network quality and cost optimization may fall short of the more substantial transformation telcos need to achieve. EY interviewed more than 60 C-suite executives from over 50 telecoms operators to understand their views about organizational priorities alongside the current and future state of the sector. In this article, we explore insights emerging from our research, underlining the dichotomy that exists between defensive near-term strategies and more radical future sector dynamics, and recommending key actions that telcos can take to ensure they remain fit for the future. About the research Between September 2023 and February 2024, EY-Parthenon conducted face-to-face surveys of 63 senior business leaders in the telecommunications sector to understand their business imperatives. The questionnaire explored a number of themes, such as the industry operating environment, strategy North Stars, near-term business priorities and the telco world five years from now. Respondents represented 29 countries — including 75% from Europe, 8% from Americas, 9% from Asia-Pacific, and 8% from Middle East and Africa — and featured a range of leadership roles, led by CEOs (32%) and chief strategy or transformation officers (21%). To participate in the survey, respondents were required to be leaders of a telco business function or unit. Traditional growth drivers underpin a solid performance outlook Survey respondents have a largely positive view of sector growth: more than half foresee sector revenues and EBITDA growing by 3% or more over the next three years. They are also confident of their own performance relative to their peers, with three quarters expecting to outperform the market over the same period. Inflationary pricing escalators built into consumer subscriptions have been supportive in some markets, indicative of wider resilience where customer spending has held up well in spite of the cost-of-living crisis, as highlighted in the EY Decoding the digital home study. Looking ahead, two key drivers of profitable growth as cited by the management are: growth in the core connectivity business (67%) and margin development through additional cost reductions and efficiencies (60%). These twin forces score well ahead of adjacent market services or more innovative business models, with only one in three respondents highlighting growth beyond the core business or growth in platform, ecosystem or as-a-service business. That said, there are regional nuances at play: Asia-Pacific telcos are much more receptive to growth via platforms or ecosystems, cited four out of six telco leaders in the region. Telco market growth outlook This chart shows survey respondents' expectations of telecoms market development in their own footprint in the next three years.

https://youtu.be/6pt4XOIZa7Y Peter Kingma, Head of Working Capital Practice at EY Parthenon Americas, is driven by his curiosity and passion for solving problems to help leading companies crown their cash and master cash management. In "Cash is King," he emphasizes how effective cash flow management, distinct from revenue generation, is vital for sustained business growth and resilience. We discuss his framework for converting revenue into cash: Collect Receivables Faster to boost liquidity and reduce dependency on credit, Pay Customers Slower to optimize cash utilization, and Accelerate Inventory Turns to minimize holding costs and enhance operational efficiency. These strategies not only streamline financial processes but also fortify businesses against market uncertainties, ensuring robust financial health and agility. --- Crown Your Cash with Peter Kingma Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast and my guest today is Peter Kingma, the head of the Working Capital Practice for EY Parthenon in the Americas and author of Cash is King: Mastering Cash Flow Management with Peter Kingma. Peter, welcome to the show. Thank you, glad to be here. Yeah, well, I'm glad you're here because actually, believe it or not, we are well into over 200 episodes, but we never actually addressed the king, which is cash, which is a big omission, I realize, and now we're going to make up for it. So, before we jump in on that, I'd like to ask you, what is your personal Why? What is it that gets you out of bed every morning? I'm curious, Steve. That's my personal Why. I love to solve problems. Some might say that's because I have a short attention span that I like to go from problem to problem, but I love to solve problems. And the past 30 years of my professional career, I've been helping companies. Now, we'll talk about small businesses in this discussion, but admittedly big businesses for me, on a day-to-day basis, but helping them deal with cash and liquidity. And what I love, Steve, about what I do is I can measure the results. So I can see at the end of the day, I can see the benefits. And I'm very proud of the fact that my work helps some very iconic companies stay in business. And so there are people that are employed today because of decisions that they've made. And, yeah, that's my why. I love solving problems. And I like sort of tackling big questions. Okay. Well, let's tackle the biggest question of all is why revenue is not the same as cash. Yeah, let's start at the beginning. So, I think in business we understand revenue and profit fairly well, but we don't always understand the difference between that and cash. So if you think about revenue, let's say we sell something, but if we haven't gotten paid for it, and we don't have, so to speak, the cash in our pocket, then we don't have the ability to pay our bills. And so, Steve, if you will, let me take you back in time to when I was just out of college and kind of a silly example of this, but I think that it kind of grounds itself really well. When I was just out of college, I was living paycheck to paycheck. And fortunately, my employer paid me on the 1st and the 15th of every month. So, I knew when I was going to get paid. And fortunately, my landlord didn't come knocking on my door random days of the month asking for rent, I knew when that was when my bills were due as well. So even if I had, even if they gave me, you know, a little bit more money or a little bit less in any given month, I had to say I knew exactly when the revenue was coming in, when the cash was coming in, and when my bills were to be paid. So, I think in many ways, we understand that in our household economics, but then we get into business and sometimes I think we get confused because we start to confuse and chase revenue and revenue alone and forget that it's the cash that pays the bills. It's the cash that you use to buy new equipment to invest.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the MBA application deadlines and decision notifications for this season. Interview invites for Round 2 are now coming to an end as schools have shifted into handing out admissions decisions. Speaking of which, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, Harvard, London Business School, Stanford, Northwestern / Kellogg, and Washington / Foster are releasing their final Round 2 results next week.  Best of luck to everyone awaiting word! Graham highlighted the new Spring survey that Clear Admit is running, to get a better sense of how MBA candidates select their target programs. Answering this survey really helps Clear Admit better understand the MBA community, and provides great insights for top MBA programs. The survey is here: https://bit.ly/caspringsurvey Graham then mentioned a Clear Admit event, with CMU / Tepper, which focuses on the MBA for non-traditional candidates. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/nontradMBA Graham also shared tidbits from four Real Humans Alumni pieces: alums from Harvard, working at PepsiCo, Stanford working at Uber, Berkeley / Haas working at Nike and Yale SOM working at EY-Parthenon. Finally we discussed the first in Clear Admit's series of post-MBA career reports. This one focuses on finance careers, and shows quite clearly which are the best MBA programs for buy-side finance roles, as well as for roles in investment banking. 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 very respectable numbers, with a 730 GMAT and 3.54 GPA. They began their career in oil and gas, and more recently are working in the area of carbon capture. They are really targeting the very top programs, which we think they have a realistic chance to attain. This week's second MBA candidate has an outstanding profile, all around. They have a fantastic GPA, complemented by a 730 GMAT. They have very decent work experience, with progressive roles, and their additional volunteer activities look good, too. We recommend they stick to one post-MBA short term goal, while targeting the very best MBA programs and considering geography as well. The final MBA candidate for this week is deciding between Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua and UVA / Darden. They have a very good scholarship offer from Fuqua, which may tip the balance in their favor. They are still waiting to hear back from Northwestern / Kellogg. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.
