Helen points to momentum at Climate Week in 2025, with more than 1,000 events taking place across the city compared to 900 the previous year. “We're seeing companies continuing to move forward,” Helen says. “A lot of these are global businesses ... so what's happening in the US is a part of that, but it's not the whole story.”  Helen says that Climate Week discussions this year are focusing more on practical solutions and the “nitty-gritty” of implementation.

Robert Bronstein, cofounder and CEO of The Scion Group, talks student housing. He argues that the supply/demand imbalance is widening, with undergrad enrollment projected to rise by 139K per year through 2031. Already, he adds, most students rely on inadequate options, especially on-campus dorms, and believes that off-campus housing needs to fill the gap. He discusses how Scion Group uses technology to predict demand, pricing models, and relay student communications.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Guest post by Sara Daw, who is Group CEO of The CFO Centre and The Liberti Group, and the author of Strategy and Leadership as Service - How the Access Economy Meets the C-Suite, which explores the fractional leadership trend. For technology SMEs, scaling quickly is often a race against both market disruption and well-funded Big Tech rivals. Building the right executive team to support that growth is one of the toughest challenges founders face. Fractional Leaders Are Helping Technology Recruiting a full-time C-suite can be a huge financial commitment and, in many cases, unnecessary when the immediate need is targeted expertise. Instead of over-investing too early, many technology SMEs are turning to fractional executives. These are high-calibre leaders who work with multiple companies on a part-time or flexible basis. Many fractional leaders come from senior roles in established organisations and have chosen portfolio careers for greater variety and autonomy. They bring a wealth of experience across functions such as technology, finance, marketing, people, and sales. The result is specialist support delivered at the right time and in the right measure to help ambitious SMEs grow. Why Tech SMEs Are Turning to Fractional Leadership The pressure points for technology SMEs are particularly acute. Founders often face the challenge of scaling products and infrastructure without building up costly technical debt. They must also manage compliance and cybersecurity risks, compete for specialist talent in an overheated market, and build repeatable go-to-market strategies to accelerate growth. Fractional leaders can address these needs directly. A fractional CTO might oversee the design of a tech stack that scales effectively with demand. A fractional CISO can establish the security frameworks that win enterprise-level contracts. A fractional CMO has the experience to shape digital growth engines and product-led marketing strategies. A fractional CHRO ensures the organisation can attract and retain the right talent despite the pull of Big Tech employers. Unlike large corporates that can afford full-time hires for every executive seat, SMEs can access the same calibre of leadership in a way that matches their budgets and growth stages. Supporting Scale-Ups Through Growth Stages Most SMEs that engage fractional leaders are in the early growth or scale-up stage. More than seventy per cent of fractional executives work with scale-up clients where founders are often wearing multiple hats. It is common to see a founder acting as both product visionary and chief technology officer while also juggling fundraising and business development. Fractional leaders relieve that pressure. By taking on defined executive responsibilities, they free up founders to focus on long-term strategy and innovation. The relationship is highly flexible. Some companies require only a day a month while others need several days each week. The involvement can be scaled up or down as growth accelerates, giving SMEs the agility that traditional full-time hires cannot match. Building Stronger, More Integrated Leadership Fractional leadership is most powerful when executives collaborate across functions. For example, a fractional CFO ensures that marketing and technology investments are funded in a sustainable way. A fractional CTO makes sure that the technology roadmap is aligned with both sales and product goals. A fractional CMO coordinates campaigns with product launches and hiring cycles. This integrated approach reduces risk, speeds execution, and brings clarity to scaling plans. SMEs also benefit from the broader perspective that fractional leaders bring. Their work across multiple clients gives them access to sector insights, benchmarks, and industry networks that a single full-time hire may not be able to provide. The rise of fractional leadership marks a major shift in how technology SMEs access executive expertise. As of January 2025, more than one hundred and...

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) managing director and CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest milestones, including securing a 20-year Australian patent for its THERMAL-XR ENHANCE coating. Nicol said the patent strengthens the company's long-term competitive position in a market estimated at more than $20 billion, noting its benefits for heat exchangers in boosting heat transfer while resisting corrosion. He highlighted recent case studies showing efficiency gains in cooling systems, which he described as “extremely scalable” across industries from data centers to industrial plants. Nicol explained that these results applied to the inside of air conditioners, broadening their applicability worldwide. On financing, Nicol outlined how the C$6.9 million recently raised will support stock building and product launches, positioning the company for stronger revenues. He also provided an update on the aluminum-ion battery project with the University of Queensland, now at battery technology readiness level four. “The batteries never looked as good as we've ever had it before,” Nicol said, adding that large-scale commercial production is expected in 2027. Nicol also discussed the company's approach to partnerships and supply chain development, referencing its work with Rio Tinto and its plans to build revenues through both large-scale collaborations and global distributor networks.

IP Group PLC (LSE:IPO) CEO Greg Smith talked with Proactive's Stephen about the company's first half performance and outlook through to 2027. Smith said the group delivered £30.3 million of cash realisations in the first half, compared with just £3.3 million in the same period last year. He noted that this puts IP Group on track to meet its £50 million FY25 target and its longer-term goal of more than £250 million in cash exits by 2027. Smith highlighted portfolio progress, including the IPO of Hinge Health on the New York Stock Exchange and Oxford Nanopore beating guidance with its first half results. He said: “We made strong progress in the first half. We were pleased with some encouraging portfolio developments and also that this pipeline of significant milestones that are building through to the end of 2027.” He added that NAV per share has stabilised and ticked up post-period due to a recovery in public holdings. Smith also pointed to increased M&A interest across the portfolio and ongoing progress in securing new private scale-up capital mandates. Looking ahead, milestones include Istesso's phase two trial, Oxford Nanopore's full-year results, Hysata's hydrogen rollout in Saudi Arabia, and developments at First Light Fusion.

Send us a textRobert Garner's journey from KPMG partner to successful consultancy entrepreneur offers a masterclass in professional services growth and value creation. Drawing on his experience founding Avail Consulting (which he successfully sold) and later serving as Group CEO of Tribal Group, Garner shares the strategic frameworks that transformed his businesses from startups to multimillion-pound enterprises.At the heart of Robert Garner's approach is a disciplined focus on what he calls the "four-by-four matrix" – aligning four specific service offerings with four target markets to create sixteen strategic focal points. This clarity of purpose allowed his team to methodically track progress and avoid the common trap of unfocused expansion. "Too many smaller organisations spend too much time working IN and not enough time working ON," Robert Garner explains, revealing how he and his co-founder limited themselves to 40% utilization to preserve crucial time for business development.For consultancy owners preparing for eventual sale, Robert Garner offers invaluable insights into what buyers truly value. He emphasizes the importance of developing annuity revenue streams where possible, building robust operational systems well before they're critically needed, and cultivating leadership teams that extend beyond the founder. His operational due diligence work with Garwood Solutions has given him unique visibility into the common pitfalls that diminish consultancy valuations.Perhaps most reassuringly, Robert Garner challenges the widespread fear that growth inevitably dilutes company culture. His experience demonstrates that with intentional leadership, strong values can be maintained through significant scaling. The real threat to culture isn't size but rather leadership that fails to create appropriate frameworks – or as Garner puts it, "It's okay to take risks; it's not okay to take uncontrolled risks."Whether you're growing a boutique consultancy or preparing for eventual acquisition, Garner's systematic approach to professional services growth provides a blueprint for building firms that deliver exceptional client value while commanding premium valuations in the market. His insights reveal why some consultancies plateau while others achieve remarkable exits.Prof. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit.

The Irish Management Institute (IMI) today announced the launch of the 2025 National Leadership Conference (NLC), taking place on Thursday, October 2nd at IMI's Sandyford campus, which will bring together Ireland's top business leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of leading organisations in an era of heightened volatility and disruption. This year's NLC will focus on helping leaders move from insight to impact, develop key capabilities to navigate uncertainty, and position their organisations for long-term success. Former Editor-in-chief of the Economist, Bill Emmott, is to address the 2025 Irish Management Institute (IMI) National Leadership Conference on the critical role of leadership in driving transformation in an era of heightened volatility and disruption. As the AI transformation accelerates, speakers will offer insights on how decision makers can successfully harness the power of the technology in their business; developing an organisational culture of innovation that embraces change; and cultivating and leading high-performance teams. Keynote speakers at the event include Dómhnal Slattery, former CEO of Avolon, and Enda O'Coineen, Group CEO of the Business Post Group. Other speakers at the conference include Jennifer Melia, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, Alice Mansergh, CEO at Tourism Ireland, Joe Heneghan, CEO at Revolut Europe, and Emma Redmond, General Counsel & Head of OpenAI Ireland. Commenting on the event launch, Shane O'Sullivan, CEO of the IMI, said: "Irish business leaders are navigating a highly complex environment, shaped by global volatility, a tightening domestic economy, and the accelerating pace of technological change. In this climate, it's all too easy to become consumed by immediate pressures and lose sight of the bigger picture. But long-term success depends on leaders keeping their focus on future growth, building the capabilities to adapt, and seizing opportunities even in uncertain times. "At IMI, we see that many leaders already have the insights - the real challenge lies in turning those insights into tangible impact. The National Leadership Conference is an important forum bringing together Ireland's leadership community that can help to forge the capabilities for current and future success. IMI research shows that while most leaders are aware of the key challenges facing their organisation, many are finding it difficult to identify and put in place the capabilities and strategies to overcome these obstacles and drive growth. "With an impressive line-up of national and international industry leaders, this year's conference will give Ireland's decision makers the tools to sharpen their capabilities, navigate uncertainty with confidence, and unlock future growth."

I was going to talk about corneas. Just a nice, focused anatomy deep dive. But then I found out UnitedHealthcare's stock is down 20% and—what can I say? I got distracted by joy. So before we dig into layers of corneal meat (yes, I said that), we take a little detour into vertical integration, kickbacks, AI claim denials, and how a multi-billion-dollar behemoth is finally catching a whiff of accountability. Then it's back to business: corneal nerves, LASIK, ulcers, transplant techniques, the great “your corneas are too thin” letdown, and why you should stop sleeping in your contact lenses. Also, I may have created a dating strategy that involves casually name-dropping Descemet's membrane. You're welcome. Takeaways: UnitedHealth Took a Hit—And I Took a Victory Lap. Their CEO is stepping down. Their stock is down. Their karma might finally be catching up. I am… not sad. Your Cornea Is Clear for a Reason—Until It's Not. It doesn't have blood vessels. It doesn't heal like skin. And when it gets cloudy, things get gross, fast. LASIK Isn't for Everyone. Here's Why Your Eye Got Rejected. If you've ever been told your cornea is “too thin,” I'm here to explain why—and yes, it's as mathy as it sounds. Yes, I Called It ‘Corneal Meat.' No, I'm Not Sorry. It's the stroma. It's thick. It's important. And now you're never going to un-hear that phrase. Please Stop Sleeping in Your Contacts. I'm Begging. Because you like seeing. And because I don't want to have to dig bacteria out of your eyeball. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
