What do Nike runners, IKEA furniture, and half a million Vietnamese workers have in common? They're all caught in the crossfire of Trump's tariff tantrum. This week, we trace the hidden supply chains behind the global economy, from Vietnam's rise as a manufacturing powerhouse to how a sneaker company now employs more people abroad than Ford and GM do at home. We break down how the MAGA tariff regime threatens to crater entire economies, sour U.S. relations in Asia, and hand China the long game. Plus, what it all means for Ireland, Africa, and the American empire itself. Are we witnessing a pivot, or a pullback from the world stage?  Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What can the UK learn from the Nordic approach to manufacturing—and how can technology play a central role in revitalising the sector? This week on Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Simon Ranyard, Managing Director for Northwest Europe at Orange Business, to explore the strategic differences between two regions facing similar challenges but moving in very different directions. Simon brings a unique cross-regional view, overseeing Orange Business operations across the UK, Ireland, and the Nordics. While labour shortages and productivity declines are shared concerns, Simon explains why Nordic manufacturers have responded with long-term investments in digitisation and automation, creating not just gains in efficiency but also a rise in high-skill employment. In contrast, many UK firms are still defaulting to short-term headcount increases, missing the bigger opportunity. We discuss the data behind the divergence, including why Sweden has three times the robot density of the UK, and what that means for output and workforce transformation. Simon highlights how automation isn't about job replacement, but role elevation—moving people away from repetitive tasks and into positions that require critical thinking and collaboration with advanced tools. He also shares practical insight into how technologies like 5G, AR, and IoT are reshaping production environments, lowering operational costs, and helping companies stay competitive globally. With government-backed reskilling initiatives and AI now moving from theory to application, Simon makes the case for UK manufacturers to adopt a more strategic, future-facing mindset. If you work in manufacturing, policy, or are simply curious about how different regions are using tech to solve shared problems, this episode offers real-world perspective and tactical advice. What kind of investment decisions will define the next decade of UK industry—and can a mindset shift help close the productivity gap?

In this episode of The B2B Marketing Podcast, David Rowlands caught up with Monica Kumar, EVP and CMO of Extreme Networks - a leader in cloud networking.

It was an impromptu meeting Gantus will never forget. One day at Tesla, the company's then-President of Automotive, Jérôme Guillen, pulled her aside, whispering about a decision Elon Musk was leaning toward. Guillen—who led the automaker's push for production scale and supply chain agility—believed a different path could better serve the company, but needed someone with operational and financial data at her fingertips. “Let's go talk to him—just you and me,” Guillen said. Standing before Musk, Gantus walked through cost impacts and strategic trade-offs, methodically highlighting why their plan would outperform the existing direction. She recounts feeling a rush of excitement when Musk ultimately changed course, calling it key to her growth.That moment encapsulates Gantus's rapid ascent from Tesla's first corporate FP&A hire to a finance leader shaping billion-dollar decisions. Her approach has always been about embedding finance in day-to-day operations, whether rethinking shift schedules, optimizing inventory, or forging data-driven paths for emerging initiatives. Sitting alongside engineers and factory managers, she became a trusted partner who refused to let finance stay locked in spreadsheets.Today, as CFO of Mytra AI, Gantus carries forward the mindset that made her indispensable at Tesla. She now steers Mytra AI's efforts to secure large warehouse contracts and streamline supply chain workflows, forging growth paths. She's determined to refine her new company's cost structures, champion a culture of close collaboration, and leverage every insight from the operational trenches. It's a philosophy built on pragmatism, strategic thinking, and unwavering perseverance—one that began with a tap on the shoulder, data-driven vision, and a fearless willingness to challenge the status quo.

This week's guest is Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President of Freight Forwarding, U.S & Mexico for DP World. As most of us know, DP World is a leading global logistics company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.  They operate a large network of marine and inland terminals across more than 40 countries, handling approximately 10% of global container traffic.  In our conversation, Terry provides an overview of DP World as well as the global freight forwarding industry.  We discuss the impacts of the United States - Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) that superseded NAFTA, the challenges companies face in meeting changing and differing regulatory requirements across the globe, and DP World's evolution from a basic transport provider to an integrated solution provider moving product from “Factory Floor to Customer Door.”  Finally, we talk about the future of global trade.  As opposed to some pundits who have claimed that we have reached and passed “Peak-Global Trade”, Terry compares trade to water - in that, it always finds a way.

How will generative AI impact the factory floor? In this conversation, Bill sits down with Jason Nassar, who is responsible for Dell Technologies' global strategy for manufacturing edge products and solutions as a Senior Consultant Product Manager. The two dive into the future of generative AI on the factory floor, musing about the role of robots and small language models.---------Key Quotes:“I think as the technology improves itself and it's going to happen faster than we think, there will likely be robots and even humanoid robots that are going to be performing tasks that in the past people performed.”“At the end of the day, these LLMs or large learning models, they're best put in the cloud right now, large data centers actually processing this. But this is quickly going to move directly to the edge. And that means that this technology is going to be utilized on the factory floor.”--------Timestamps: (02:00) How did Jason get started in tech? (02:40) IT and OT in manufacturing (06:45) Evolution of customer needs in manufacturing (20:54) What is possible with traditional AI?(14:54) The potential of generative AI in manufacturing (19:00) Hallucinations and human error(20:50) The future of work and education (33:32) Robots on the factory floor--------Sponsor:Over the Edge is brought to you by Dell Technologies to unlock the potential of your infrastructure with edge solutions.

The LCIL and Cambridge International Law Journal (CILJ) are pleased to invite you to the LCIL-CILJ Annual Lecture Lecture summary: Recent pathbreaking trade agreements empower trade policymakers to target foreign companies in novel ways and to police corporate due diligence in global supply chains rather than seek to change foreign government behavior as used to be their purview. This repurposing of our trade enforcement system has the power to transform dramatically the global commercial system, the bargains it manages, the procedures applicable to it, and the rights and obligations of all involved. This research project maps the institutional ascent of this revealed practice, which it maintains was the product of disillusionment with the intellectual pedigrees of conventional trade law. The project evaluates our trade policing in light of the progressive aims policymakers have set for it, taking into account the many constituencies on whom the burdens fall unevenly. This excavation exposes how our trade police do not operate like other widely accepted forms of law enforcement or of international law bureaucracy. Tactics like those in the new arsenal bear close resemblance to the practices of authoritarian governments that seek to provoke acquiescence without process. The project’s assessment prescribes lessons for the several disciplines trade policing touches, including for the way scholars and lawmakers conceive of what bodies of law, tools, and actors are best suited to manage transnational corporate behavior and for concepts of compliance in international law. Finally, this project demonstrates that, as a corporate accountability system, trade policing has leapfrogged efforts by fields with similar aims like business and human rights, and the policing tools we have so far are just the tip of the iceberg. Kathleen Claussen is a leader in international economic law and procedure and has served as arbitrator, counsel, expert, public servant, and teacher. Her expertise covers several topics of international law, especially trade, investment, international business and labor; dispute settlement and international dispute bodies; national security and cybersecurity law; and, administrative law issues surrounding U.S. foreign relations and transnational agreements. Professor Claussen has served as a visiting faculty member or invited researcher at numerous institutions around the world, including Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, the University of Cambridge Lauterpacht Centre for International Law where she was a Brandon Fellow, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, the iCourts Center of Excellence at the University of Copenhagen, the George C. Marshall Center for Security Studies, the University of Zurich and Collegium Helveticum, and the World Trade Institute. Prior to joining the Georgetown faculty in 2023, she was a member of the faculty at the University of Miami School of Law for five years.
