In this first episode of a four-part special podcast series with Siemens, Chiranjib Sengupta sat down with John Nixon, Vice President for Global Strategy in Energy, Chemicals, and Infrastructure, and Mike Houghton, Global Head of Sales at Siemens Digital Industries Software, to discuss how incorporating digital twins into oil and gas operations can unlock unique efficiencies and also make the industry more sustainable. As the global energy infrastructure landscape faces up to the realities of ageing assets, decarbonisation and the urgent need for digitalisation, leaders across energy, chemicals, and urban systems are confronting a main challenge: how to make infrastructure more intelligent, adaptive, and resilient. John and Mike discuss how the fusion of digital twins, artificial intelligence, and industrial software is changing the way energy infrastructure is designed, operated, and optimised. They explore how digital twins are evolving into living models that replicate real-time conditions, enabling predictive maintenance, risk mitigation, and system-wide efficiency at unprecedented levels. They also highlight how at Siemens, these capabilities are no longer experimental, but an essential part of their portfolio as industrial operators seek to future-proof assets against climate disruption, resource constraints, and operational efficiency.

Josh Howell and Mark Reich, LEI President and Chief Engineer Strategy, respectively, speak with Scott Heydon, former VP of Global Strategy at Starbucks, McKinsey & Co. consultant, and a Senior Lean Coach with LEI since 2014. They discuss Scott's efforts to transform Starbucks with lean thinking, learning lean methods and new ways of problem-solving along the way, and how he's taken that knowledge to other organizations.     Scott says at Starbucks he evolved his own problem-solving from that of a top-down, MBA-style focused on financials and strategic analysis to include a recognition of problems from the bottom up and a need to develop the capability of others to incrementally improve and problem-solve at the local level to “get better every day.” His work at Starbucks included a four-store lean experiment, which involved then Starbucks colleague Josh and was eventually expanded across the coffeehouse chain. The effort was revised midcourse, says Scott, as his programmatic approach shifted to a better understanding of the processes and problems that need to be solved specific to individual stores and asking store leaders, “What problem are you trying to solve?”    Scott offers two pieces of advice for those in leadership positions progressing with their own lean learning and working to develop and support others who are learning with them:  “Spend more time where the work happens. That can be challenging as a leader because people will operate differently” and the perspective viewed may not always be authentic. Scott worked in a local store as a barista for a few hours each week, and told people on the line he was trying to learn and was not there to judge. It also helped that he had an idea of what to look for, a key skill learned from LEI coach Jeff Smith while at Starbucks.   Turn off the problem-solving in your brain as you talk to someone, and instead ask questions to learn from them about what they are doing and ask questions that can help them become a better problem-solver. “To develop that capability in others and to create improvement by supporting others is a really important capability for leaders.”

Edition No182 | 08-07-2025 - China's Hidden Agenda: Proxies, War, and Global Power StrategiesIn this episode of Silicon Bytes, we delve into the unsettling prospect of Russia, North Korea, and Iran acting as proxies for China amidst global conflicts. While China appears neutral, this episode explores its strategic interests in ensuring Russia does not lose the war in Ukraine, suggesting a global strategy that includes bolstering its position on Taiwan. The episode unpacks China's foreign minister Wang Ye's revealing comments, the implications of China's hidden support for Russia, and the broader geopolitical consequences. We analyze the potential for a Taiwan conflict leading to a larger global war, and how Western unity is essential in countering China's strategic facilitation of aggression. An insightful discussion for understanding the intricate dynamics of modern geopolitics.----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyvi who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence. He says, there is a serious shortage of blood plasma here in Ukraine. He has had several messages from ex-comrades and medics, asking if the Allies can help find much needed plasma for medical stations at various depths behind the 'zero' or frontline. This shortage is killing wounded fighting men and women and, all too often, the medics and ambulance drivers who try to evacuate them.A medic friend who has been saving lives in Ukraine for three years, he says, explained how she lost four medic friends and units sustained several casualties, because of the lack of medical evacuation units, ambulances at the front and plasma. During recent delays in receiving equipment and supplies, one group had to walk out...like WW1 stretcher bearers...during which episode they suffered 50% casualties from enemy drones. Including new solar powered drone variants. We desperately need to find ways to improve casualty survival rates, with basic supplies like plasma that we take for granted outside Ukraine. ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:56 China's Strategic Positioning01:31 Implications of China's Support for Russia04:11 China's Global Strategy and Taiwan07:52 Western Response and Strategic Coordination13:46 Conclusion: The Path to World War III?----------LINKS: https://www.economist.com/china/2025/06/19/china-has-become-the-most-important-enabler-of-russias-war-machine https://kyivindependent.com/china-may-enlist-russia-against-nato-if-taiwan-conflict-erupts-rutte-says-06-2025/ https://kyivindependent.com/taiwans-fm-democracies-should-unite-to-prevent-russia-china-from-expanding-further/ https://kyivindependent.com/china-unveils-its-new-graphite-bomb-06-2025/ https://www.economist.com/international/2025/05/15/china-and-russia-are-deploying-powerful-new-weapons-ideas https://www.ft.com/content/c5a1bc4e-462e-4e76-b0cb-5210c2e74efa https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/10/asia/iran-china-russia-joint-navy-drills-intl-hnk https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-china-russia-relationship-and-threats-to-vital-us-interests/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/10/01/china-supporting-enemy-trading-russia-says-blackrock-fink/ https://kyivindependent.com/russia-seeks-to-involve-laos-in-war-against-ukraine-military-intelligence-claims-06-2025/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-cannot-lose-war-ukraine-092455893.html https://nypost.com/2025/07/03/world-news/china-cannot-allow-russia-to-lose-ukraine-war-foreign-minister-tells-eu-report/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

Visit us at Network2020.org. The prospect of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund—most recently proposed by President Trump—has sparked renewed debate about America's economic strategy at home and abroad. While sovereign wealth funds traditionally manage national surpluses for long-term strategic investment, the U.S. has never adopted one, despite the fact that the number of sovereign wealth funds globally has tripled since 2000. What is behind this global growth? What are the advantages and disadvantages to the U.S. of pursuing this strategy? Could it reorient foreign direct investment flows, enhance national economic security, or help maintain America's competitive edge in key industries like technology? How might such a fund be financed in the absence of large budget surpluses?Join us to discuss these questions and more with Dr. Sarah Sewall, In-Q-Tel's Executive Vice President for Policy; Courtney Fingar, Journalist, Commentator, and Consultant focused on foreign direct investment; and Edwin M. Truman, Senior Fellow at Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard's Kennedy School. This conversation will outline the architecture, economics, and global ripple effects of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund.Music by Sergii Pavkin from Pixabay

Send us a textFor twenty years, Dscoop (Digital Solutions Cooperative) has created one of the print industry's most powerful communities – a global network where HP digital print users share knowledge, solve problems together, and accelerate innovation.In this fascinating conversation, Marcus speaks with Peter van Teeseling, Executive Director of Dscoop, and Amir Raziel, Head of Global Strategy for HP Industrial Print, about the unique partnership that has transformed digital printing. "The decision to make Dscoop an independent organization has created that environment where we have our own space to play in and HP has their own space, and where there is overlap, that's where magic happens," explains Peter.This magic manifests in tangible business outcomes. Members can instantly tap into global expertise when facing challenges, reducing risk and compressing learning cycles from months to days. During the pandemic, Dscoop members formed impromptu networks to share materials and regional insights. A quarterly leadership call connecting 100 volunteer leaders across continents became a permanent fixture, allowing businesses of all sizes to benefit from global market intelligence.What makes Dscoop particularly powerful is its culture of openness. "There's an element of trust which is very unique to this group," notes Amir. Unlike traditional industry associations where competitors guard their secrets, Dscoop members willingly share both successes and failures. This transparency creates what Peter calls "a shared brain" that accelerates innovation far beyond what any single organization could achieve alone.As the industry confronts transformative technologies like AI and automation, Dscoop continues to evolve, providing curated learning experiences that help members navigate complexity and seize new opportunities. The results speak for themselves – members consistently rate the business impact of their participation at nearly 9 out of 10.Whether you're an HP digital print user looking to grow, a supplier seeking deeper customer connections, or simply curious about how communities can drive industry transformation, this conversation offers invaluable insights into the power of collaborative innovation. As Amir powerfully states: "The future of the print industry is ours to create... the more we collaborate, the better we will be."Listen on:Apple PodcastGoogle PodcastSpotifyWhat is FuturePrint?

Qatar wants to gift Trump a $400 million jet, and the debate is already on fire—some say it's unethical, others question if it's even constitutional. But what's really going on here? In this episode, I unpack the bigger picture. I believe this move is Trump sending a message to Israel and Netanyahu: America—not Israel—is in control. And frankly, that message is long overdue. Israel has caused more harm than necessary in recent months, and it's time for the U.S. to reassert its authority on the world stage. This isn't just about a jet. It's about power, alliances, and who's really in charge.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Last week, reports surfaced that four Canadian nationals were executed in the People's Republic of China earlier this year on drug-related charges. This deeply troubling development represents a new and grave chapter in the ongoing deterioration of Sino-Canadian relations. Beyond the human tragedy, these executions raise urgent questions regarding the state of diplomacy, the role of international legal norms, and the broader strategic posture of China on the global stage. At a time when geopolitical tensions are escalating - marked by intensifying U.S.–China rivalry, global economic fragmentation, and growing scrutiny of China's human rights record - Canada finds itself navigating a precarious diplomatic landscape. The challenge is not merely bilateral, but emblematic of the broader struggles that middle powers face in balancing national interests, moral imperatives, and strategic alliances. As China's global strategy continues to evolve, it is critical that Canadians and the international community alike deepen their understanding of its geopolitical ambitions, regional influence, and approach to international engagement. This week on Beyond the Headlines, we are honoured to welcome Michael Kovrig, Senior Adviser for Asia at the International Crisis Group and Chief Executive Officer of the Kovrig Group, a geopolitical risk consultancy. Mr. Kovrig is a distinguished expert in international affairs whose research and advisory work focuses on geopolitics, geoeconomics, global security, and human rights, with a particular emphasis on China, the Indo-Pacific region, and related Western foreign policy. He previously served for over a decade as a Canadian diplomat, with postings in Ottawa, at the United Nations, and in Beijing. His professional background also includes roles in strategic communications at the United Nations Development Group, as well as journalism and economic research with a focus on China and Central and Eastern Europe. Mr. Kovrig holds a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University and is fluent in both French and Mandarin Chinese. From 2014 to 2021, he resided in China, where he was arbitrarily detained by the Ministry of State Security for nearly three years. Widely regarded as a case of politically motivated hostage diplomacy, his detention drew international condemnation. Drawing on both his personal experience and professional expertise, Mr. Kovrig offers a unique and authoritative perspective on the shifting contours of China's foreign policy, the evolving nature of Canada–China relations, and the role of diplomacy in an increasingly polarized international landscape.
