Chinese consumer brands are rapidly expanding across Southeast Asia, moving beyond electronics and electric vehicles into sectors such as beauty, food service and home appliances, according to a report by Euromonitor International.市场研究机构欧睿国际的一份报告显示，中国消费品牌正在东南亚迅速扩张，其业务已从电子产品和电动汽车拓展至美妆、餐饮和家用电器等领域。Its “Rise of Chinese Brands in Southeast Asia” report found that the ASEAN economies of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam account for 95 percent of the region‘s $4 trillion GDP. The region has become the largest and fastest-growing export destination for Chinese goods.该机构发布的《中国品牌在东南亚的崛起》报告指出，在东南亚地区4万亿美元的经济总量中，印度尼西亚、马来西亚、菲律宾、新加坡、泰国和越南这六个东盟经济体合计占95%。该地区已成为中国商品最大且增长最快的出口目的地。In 2024, China's exports to Southeast Asia reached $587 billion, up 12 percent year-on-year. More than 70 percent of Chinese companies operating in ASEAN plan further expansion, citing strong performance and untapped consumer demand, said the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.据中国国际贸易促进委员会数据，2024年中国对东南亚出口额达到5870亿美元，同比增长12%。超过70%在东盟经营的中国企业表示将进一步扩大业务，这得益于其强劲的业绩表现以及尚未充分开发的消费市场。With a population exceeding 650 million, 63 percent under 40 and a median age of 31, Southeast Asia‘s consumer market is thriving. This demographic fuels demand for e-commerce, livestreaming shopping, fintech solutions and affordable premium products.东南亚人口超过6.5亿，其中63%在40岁以下，中位年龄为31岁，消费市场充满活力。这一人口结构推动了对电子商务、直播购物、金融科技解决方案以及高性价比优质产品的充分需求。Countries like Vietnam and Indonesia are outpacing China in GDP growth, offering Chinese brands a rapidly expanding consumer base with rising disposable incomes and accelerating urbanization, said the report.报告称，越南、印度尼西亚等国的经济增速已领先中国，这为中国品牌提供了一个蓬勃发展的消费市场——那里的居民收入不断增长，城市化步伐也在加快。Chinese companies have long dominated sectors such as EVs, consumer electronics and home appliances. In EVs, BYD is now the top brand in most Southeast Asian markets and the number-one car brand in Singapore, surpassing Toyota. In home appliances, Chinese brands‘ share of the air conditioner market rose from 9 percent in 2015 to 25 percent in 2024. Haier, Midea and Gree have become household names. In smartphones, Chinese brands' market share has increased from 21 percent in 2014 to over 60 percent today.长期以来，中国企业在电动汽车、消费电子产品和家用电器等领域占据主导地位。在电动汽车领域，比亚迪现已成为大多数东南亚市场的头号品牌，并在新加坡超越丰田成为第一大汽车品牌。在家电领域，中国品牌在空调市场的份额从2015年的9%上升至2024年的25%。海尔、美的和格力已成为家喻户晓的名字。在智能手机领域，中国品牌的市场份额已从2014年的21%提升至如今的60%以上。Now, Chinese companies are breaking into sectors once considered difficult for foreign entrants. In beauty and personal care, mass-market skincare brands achieved a 115 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2019 to 2024. In the consumer food and beverage sector, chains such as Mixue, Luckin Coffee and Chagee are expanding aggressively. Mixue outlets grew 80 percent between 2019 and 2024, and by April 2026, Mixue had 4,153 overseas stores, while Chagee reached 262, said the China Chain Store and Franchise Association.如今，中国企业正挺进昔日外资难以进入的领域。美妆个护方面，大众护肤品品牌2019—2024年复合年增长率高达115%。餐饮消费方面，蜜雪冰城、瑞幸咖啡、霸王茶姬等品牌正加速扩张。中国连锁经营协会数据显示，2019至2024年，蜜雪冰城门店增长80%，截至2026年4月，其海外门店达4153家，霸王茶姬海外门店达262家。Nathanael Lim, APAC insight manager for beverages at Euromonitor International, said: “Chinese coffee and tea chains maintain consumer interest through relentless product innovation, often unveiling new menu items monthly. Significant investment in research and development and direct ingredient sourcing allows them to craft unique flavors that resonate with local palates.”欧睿国际亚太地区饮料行业洞察经理纳撒尼尔·林（音译）表示：“中国咖啡和茶饮连锁品牌通过不断的产品创新来维持消费者的兴趣，每月都会推出新品菜单。对研发和原材料直接采购的大量投入，使他们能够打造出与当地口味产生共鸣的独特风味。”Partnerships with local players are also central to expansion. In January, Eastroc Beverage signed a cooperation agreement with Indonesia‘s Salim Group to establish a joint venture, with investments of up to $200 million. Since 2021, Eastroc has exported products to 30 countries and regions.与当地企业建立合作伙伴关系对扩张同样至关重要。今年1月，东鹏饮料与印尼三林集团签署合作协议，共同成立合资公司，投资额高达2亿美元。自2021年以来，东鹏饮料已向30个国家和地区出口产品。Euromonitor said deep localization is key to Chinese brands' success, surpassing mere price competition. Many beauty and F&B companies register as local entities, adapt products for tropical climates and employ local teams for livestreaming and marketing activities.欧睿国际表示，深度本土化是中国品牌取得成功的关键，其重要性超越了单纯的价格竞争。许多美妆和餐饮企业在当地注册为本土实体，针对热带气候调整产品，并聘请本地团队从事直播带货和营销活动。“To move beyond transactional entry points, Chinese companies must transition from exporters to long-term ecosystem participants. Embedding within local value chains, adapting to cultural and economic contexts, and cultivating trust — through local manufacturing, customer service and community engagement — will be essential to sustaining growth,” the report said.报告指出：“为了超越交易性进入方式，中国企业必须从出口商转型为长期的生态系统参与者。通过本地制造、客户服务和社区参与等方式，融入当地价值链、适应文化与经济环境并建立信任，对于实现持续增长至关重要。”Euromonitor International /ˌjʊərəʊˈmɒnɪtər ˌɪntəˈnæʃənəl/欧睿国际untapped /ʌnˈtæpt/未开发的，未利用的fintech /ˈfɪntek/金融科技affordable premium products /əˈfɔːdəbəl ˈpriːmiəm ˈprɒdʌkts/高性价比优质产品disposable income /dɪˈspəʊzəbəl ˈɪnkʌm/可支配收入unveil /ʌnˈveɪl/推出，公布partnership /ˈpɑːtnəʃɪp/合作伙伴关系

Il met en avant les efforts du groupe pour promouvoir la réparabilité de ses appareils, en phase avec les nouvelles réglementations.L'entretien se poursuit avec l'annonce de l'arrivée d'Haier sur le marché de la télévision, un secteur très concurrentiel où le groupe entend se démarquer en proposant des produits adaptés à différents usages, du gaming au sport en passant par le cinéma. Stéphane Pedrazzi évoque les innovations technologiques à venir, tout en soulignant l'importance des partenariats pour asseoir la crédibilité de la marque sur ce nouveau marché.Enfin, l'actualité du conflit au Moyen-Orient et ses répercussions sur les coûts et les délais d'approvisionnement sont abordées. Malgré ces défis, Stéphane Pedrazzi affiche la détermination d'Haier à poursuivre ses investissements en France et en Europe, tout en rassurant sur la capacité du groupe à contenir les hausses de prix pour les consommateurs.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

What do a cold beer, a pair of duck-hunting boots, and a heavy sledgehammer have to do with $14 trillion in brand equity?In this masterclass, David Aaker—the "Father of Modern Branding" explains how these iconic "memory anchors" do the heavy lifting that traditional "demand marketing" cannot. We dive into the "Curse of Success," why most companies are stuck in a "herd" of sameness, and how to navigate the silo problem without falling into the trap of centralization.If you've ever struggled to justify brand spend to a CFO, Aaker provides the evidence-based ammunition needed to prove that brand is a strategic asset, not a line-item expense.Key TakeawaysThe Power of Signature Stories: Why L.L. Bean's boots and Haier's sledgehammer are more effective than mission statements for aligning culture and brand.Escaping the Herd: Growth doesn't come from being "better" than the competition; it comes from being different enough to own a new subcategory.The $14 Trillion Asset: Brand equity is a massive financial engine. Aaker explains why short-termism and "performance marketing" are currently eroding this global wealth.Solving the Silo Problem: The natural instinct is to centralize. Aaker argues the real solution is cooperation and communication, allowing local units to stay agile while remaining brand-aligned.The Curse of Success: Why the most successful firms (like Kodak or Xerox) are often the most vulnerable to disruptive innovation because they are optimized for their current business.Timestamps01:11 – The $14 Trillion Framework: Why Aaker's work governs modern marketing.12:20 – The Silo Trap: Why centralization is the "natural" but wrong solution.17:20 – Short-Termism: How "demand marketing" risks the long-term health of brand equity.22:14 – The Beer: The Asahi Super Dry story and the power of owning a subcategory.32:01 – The Boot: L.L. Bean's origin story as a "memory anchor" for brand loyalty.35:15 – The Sledgehammer: How Haier's signature story baked quality into their culture.42:43 – The Curse of Success: Why winners like Kodak and Xerox fail to innovate.About Our GuestDavid Aaker is the Vice Chairman of Prophet and Professor Emeritus at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley.

Welcome back to Our Agile Tales as we continue our conversation with Bjarte Bogsnes, exploring case studies from his latest book, This Is Beyond Budgeting. The book distills nearly three decades of experience challenging traditional budgeting, targets, and control-based management.In this episode, we ask why Silicon Valley firms rarely appear in Beyond Budgeting case studies; Bjarte posits that these companies excel at technology innovation but fear management innovation, sometimes reinforced by IPO-focused CFOs, though being public is not a true barrier (Many Beyond Budgeting adopters are listed on Wall Street.) He explains Beyond Budgeting can improve performance in both good and tough times and cites Handelsbanken's long-term stability. The discussion covers Morningstar's self-management and the need for enterprise-wide coherence, then Haier's radical micro-enterprise model and rapid evolution.Finally, Bjarte details Equinor's (formerly Statoil) beyond budgeting journey since 2005 via “Ambition to Action,” integrating strategy, risk, actions/forecasting, indicators, and HR with a 50/50 split between “what” and “how,” emphasizing transparency, event-driven cadence, decentralized ownership, and holistic performance evaluation.Key topics and timestamps00:00 Welcome01:05 Why Silicon Valley Lags in Management Innovation04:11 Public Markets and Budgets04:53 Boom Bust and Stability06:40 Morningstar and Self Management08:48 Haier Radical Micro Enterprises13:00 Equinor Beyond Budgeting Origins16:32 Ambition to Action Framework20:11 Alignment Cadence and Transparency25:37 Holistic Performance Evaluation28:15 Wrap Up and ConclusionAbout Bjarte BogsnesBjarte Bogsnes is Chairman of the Beyond Budgeting Round Table, a former global finance executive, and a leading thinker in management innovation.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of BetaTalk, Nathan sits down with industry veteran Graham Hendra to unpick the complexities and misconceptions currently stalling the UK's heat pump rollout. While much of the national conversation is bogged down in rigid technical defaults and confusing marketing jargon, this discussion focuses on the practical realities of machine design, the untapped potential of air to air systems, and why the industry must change how it communicates with the general public.Key Discussion Points:The Engineering Reality at Haier Graham shares his journey from a refrigeration engineer to his current role at Haier, the major Chinese electronics manufacturer and a global leader in heat pump production. He discusses the unique challenge of building a better machine from the ground up, moving past the limitations of current units that simply are not good enough for the demands of the modern energy transition.Debunking the "Fridge in Reverse" Myth A deep dive into the industry's communication problem. Both Nathan and Graham offer a clear rejection of the "fridge in reverse" analogy often used by journalists and salespeople. They argue it is a nonsensical description that confuses consumers. Instead, they frame a heat pump as a machine where the engineer is simply interested in the hot bit rather than the cold bit of the same refrigeration cycle.The Strategic Case for Air to Air Heat Pumps Drawing on Graham's extensive background, there is a strong emphasis on air to air heat pumps as a secret weapon for decarbonisation. They explain why these systems are ideal for specific use cases, such as conservatories, bedrooms, or for families needing to heat a single room quickly and affordably, rather than forcing a one size fits all wet system on every property.Installation Nuance and Electrical Standards The conversation highlights the differences in installation quality and regulation. Graham contrasts a high end, quiet installation featuring hidden pipework against minimal budget options that compromise aesthetics. He also addresses the technical nuance behind why UK regulations require fixed appliances to be hardwired, adding cost and requiring a qualified electrician compared to simpler plug in models seen on the continent.Live at The Heat Pump Show, Newark A look ahead to The Heat Pump Show at Newark on April 22nd. Nathan will be hosting a panel featuring Graham, where they will dive deeper into the potential for air to air systems within national decarbonisation strategies and the specific sizing challenges that engineers face in the field.Thanks to the Patrons of the Guild of Master Heat Engineers who help make these podcasts possible.

In Part Two of Clint's conversation with David Aaker – the “Father of Modern Branding,” Vice Chairman at Prophet, and bestselling author of 18 books – David explains how organizations can uncover powerful stories inside their companies and use them to shape culture, build trust, and strengthen their brands.David shares practical ways leaders can find and develop signature stories, including creating story banks, identifying meaningful customer and employee experiences, and even building long-term social programs that bring purpose and energy to a brand.He also discusses why many companies struggle with storytelling, how B2B organizations often strip the emotion and tension out of their best stories, and why internal storytelling can be one of the most powerful tools for shaping company culture.Throughout the conversation, David highlights memorable real-world examples from companies like Dove, Salesforce, Nordstrom, Zappos, Barclays, and Haier, showing how a single compelling story can define a brand for decades.This is the second part of a two-part conversation. Topics Covered:How companies can uncover and build a bank of signature storiesWhy social programs can create powerful brand narrativesThe impact of purpose-driven branding (including Dove's Real Beauty campaign)Salesforce's “1-1-1” model and building social impact into a company from day oneWhy storytelling is essential for building internal culture and employee engagementCommon mistakes companies make when trying to tell their storiesWhy many B2B companies unintentionally strip the power out of their own storiesFamous customer-driven brand stories from Nordstrom and ZapposHow humor and storytelling improve team creativity and leadership effectivenessUsing stories to support facts, provide context, and persuade audiencesMemorable brand stories from Haier and Barclays that transformed perceptionLeadership insights on raising people's performance and building strong teamsLinks:David's company, Prophet - https://prophet.com/ David's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidaaker/ David's book, “Aaker on Branding” - https://bit.ly/40bgtGg

What if the organizational structures designed to scale your business are actually holding it back? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague speaks with renowned management theorist, Visiting Professor at London School of Business, and best-selling author, Gary Hamel, about how bureaucracy in organizations undermines innovation, engagement, and performance. Hamel argues that rigid organizational structures and excessive business hierarchy drain trillions from the global economy and prevent companies from unlocking human potential.  The conversation explores how decentralization in business, team empowerment, and bold management strategy can restore organizational agility. Drawing on examples from companies like Roche, Nucor, and Haier, Hamel explains why employee engagement, not efficiency, is the ultimate measure of success in modern organizational management. What You Will Learn: How to identify bureaucratic drag in your organization Why reducing management layers is non-negotiable The three conditions that eliminate the need for excessive management How to push authority down without creating chaos Why employee engagement is the single metric that matters most How to drive change without owning the system   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts.

They were kind of congenitally timid, they weren't very innovative, and they were soulless places to work. When you see the same set of disabilities or maladies again and again, you realize it's not about one leader or one company or a strategy, there's something much deeper going on." "We need entrepreneurship at scale, and I need speed at scale, and I need boldness at scale. And that old management model was just inimical to those." "I've never yet seen an organization with eight or nine management layers that is nimble and innovative." "We are wasting colossal sums of human imagination and initiative. Only 20% of people around the world are engaged in their work, and only one in five employees believes their ideas matter at work. The only way out of that is we gotta turn on all that unused intellectual capacity."   Keywords: Primary Keywords (Core Themes): bureaucracy in organizations, organizational management, business innovation, management strategy, organizational structure, employee engagement, leadership transformation, corporate culture, business hierarchy, management theory Secondary Keywords (Related Subtopics): removing bureaucratic layers, decentralization in business, organizational agility, management innovation, corporate transformation, autonomy in the workplace, team empowerment, organizational efficiency, knowledge economy management, institutional vitality   Episode Resources: Gary Hamel on LinkedIn London Business School Website  World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

Ana Ivanović, voormalig nummer één van de wereld in het vrouwentennis, was op woensdag bij het ABN AMRO Open te vinden. In Rotterdam liep ze als ambassadrice van de Chinese wit- en bruingoed fabrikant Haier een dag rond. Waar ze zelf gezien de ATP-status van het toernooi nooit in Rotterdam gespeeld heeft, is Nederland wel een plek waar ze goede herinneringen aan heeft. Sterker nog, met veel trainen in Amsterdam legde ze de basis voor haar enige grandslamtitel in 2008. We spraken met Ana over het ABN AMRO Open en haar band met Nederland. Ana Ivanović, former world number one in women's tennis, was at the ABN AMRO Open on Wednesday. She spent a day in Rotterdam as ambassador of the Chinese household appliances manufacturer Haier. While she herself has never played in Rotterdam due to the tournament's being an ATP tournament, the Netherlands is a place she has fond memories of. In fact, her extensive training in Amsterdam laid the foundation for her only Grand Slam title in 2008. We spoke with Ana about the ABN AMRO Open and her connection to the Netherlands.

Das RenDanHeYi‑Modell bei Haier (Teil 2) – Im Gespräch mit Sascha Parastandeh In dieser Folge geht das Gespräch rund um das radikale Organisationsmodell RenDanHeYi weiter — diesmal mit einem starken Fokus auf Praxis, Umsetzung und die realen Herausforderungen, wenn Unternehmen klassische Strukturen auflösen. Zusammen mit Sascha Parastandeh beleuchtet das Gastgeberteam, wie Selbstorganisation und dezentrale Teams bei Haier nicht nur Idee, sondern gelebter Alltag sind. Mikro‑Einheiten statt Hierarchie: So funktioniert RenDanHeYi wirklich RenDanHeYi setzt auf kleine, autonome Einheiten — sogenannte „Micro Enterprises“ — die wie Mini‑Startups innerhalb des Konzerns operieren. Jede Einheit entscheidet selbst über Strategie, Kundenorientierung und Marktauftritt. Dieses Modell ersetzt klassische Hierarchie mit unternehmerischer Freiheit und Eigenverantwortung. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Struktur, sondern um ein radikales Umdenken: Teams agieren kundenzentriert, tragen ihre wirtschaftliche Verantwortung selbst und steuern sich weitgehend eigenständig.  Sascha Parastandeh erläutert, wie dieses System bei Haier technisch und organisatorisch abgebildet wird — inklusive digitaler Plattform, die Vernetzung und Vertragsbeziehungen zwischen Einheiten regelt. Damit wird Kooperation nicht verordnet, sondern über elastische Netzwerkstrukturen ermöglicht. Chancen und Freiheit – aber auch Druck und Verantwortung Das Modell verspricht enorme Agilität, Innovationskraft und Nähe zu Kundenbedürfnissen. Wenn jede Einheit marktnah arbeitet und unmittelbares Feedback erhält, entstehen schnelle Lernzyklen und echte Anpassungsfähigkeit. Für Mitarbeitende bedeutet das: hohe Autonomie, Eigenverantwortung und echte Mitsprache — aber auch klare Ergebnisse, wirtschaftliches Risiko und Leistungsanforderungen. Parastandeh spricht offen auch die Kehrseite an: Nicht jedes Team fühlt sich wohl mit der permanenten Markt‑ und Wettbewerbslogik. Erfolg, Fehler und Konsequenzen liegen direkt bei denen, die handeln — das verlangt ein hohes Maß an Selbstorganisation, Reflexionsfähigkeit und unternehmerischem Denken. Für viele traditionelle Organisationen bedeutet das einen tiefen Kultur- und Wertewandel. Warum RenDanHeYi kein „One‑Size‑Fits‑All“-Modell ist — und wann es funktioniert Die Episode macht deutlich: RenDanHeYi ist kein Schnellrezept, sondern ein komplexes Betriebssystem. Es funktioniert nur dort, wo Vertrauen, Transparenz und ein klares Bewusstsein für Verantwortung vorhanden sind. Unternehmen, die bereit sind, Kontrolle loszulassen und Mitarbeitenden echte Freiheit und Verantwortung zu übergeben, können von dem Modell stark profitieren. Doch wer Hierarchien, feste Rollen und klassische Führung braucht, stößt schnell an Grenzen. Sascha Parastandeh regt an, die Übertragbarkeit auf europäische Organisationen kritisch zu prüfen und – wenn man sich darauf einlässt – mit Mut zur radikalen Veränderung zu starten. Neugierig geworden? Dann hört rein in die aktuelle Folge des Kurswechsel-Podcasts und entdeckt, wie eine der radikalsten Formen der Zusammenarbeit unserer Zeit funktioniert!

Los titulares de la industria del deporte, con Patricia López, de 2Playbook. La Hexagon Cup tendrá a Generali como nuevo patrocinador principal y pasará a llamarse Generali Hexagon Cup 2026, en su salto a la Caja Mágica. Qatar Sports Investments continúa ampliando su presencia en el fútbol europeo con la compra del KAS Eupen. Haier se suma a la Serie A como patrocinador y dará nombre a la cámara del árbitro. La Fórmula 1 sigue creciendo en inversión: las escuderías destinan ya cerca de 1.000 millones a salarios y emplean a unas 8.000 personas.

This week on That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by musician, Liverpool fan and long-time friend of the pod Miles Kane for an episode full of nostalgia, chaos and unbelievable storytelling. From the early days knocking about in Belsize Park to creating his brand-new album Sunlight in the Shadows with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, Miles lifts the lid on the madness, the music and the moments that shaped him.We get into FIFA soundtracks, Sky Sports montages and why football and music share the same obsessive mindset. Miles also tells the incredible story of how his childhood hero Roberto Baggio inspired one of his most emotional tracks — and how that song led him all the way to Baggio's house in Italy for one of the most surreal lunches of his life.There's backstage mayhem with Arctic Monkeys, broken ribs in five-a-side, fashion eras gone wrong, and a whole lot of love for the city of Liverpool. It's a proper journey through the highs, the lessons and the moments that stay with you forever.Chumbawamba 00:00 – Blockbuster nostalgia & video shop memories04:00 – VHS rentals, Soho shops & Warhammer confusion06:00 – Crouchy's weekend: Andy Carroll hat trick & The Greatest Showman08:11 – Tribute to Billy Bonds & West Ham memories09:37 – Predictions league: Sid pulls away11:49 – Palace V United reaction & Amorim tunnel reaction12:02 – Leeds v Liverpool preview (Paddy Power's Big Weekend)14:33 – Are Liverpool turning a corner?18:24 – Bet builder decisions & odds boost20:26 – Brighton v Villa preview & the ‘horny draw' debate22:31 – Sponsored segment (Haier) & discount code24:33 – Miles Kane arrives on the pod25:27 – Recording the new album in Nashville with Dan Auerbach31:06 – The Roberto Baggio song story begins34:01 – Miles meets Baggio in Italy37:10 – The aftermath: calling his mum & crying in the car41:05 – Arctic Monkeys Roundhouse story & mid-gig cameo44:13 – Why Miles quit five-a-side after breaking ribs & elbows54:00 – Gig crowds, global touring & life post-album release01:00:25 – The live musical performance & reaction from the lads 01:10:15 – Susie Dent breaks down the surname origin ‘Tancock' 01:14:41 – Listener message: she becomes “Mrs Corner” & the lads lose itFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sids sit down with Joe Cole, former England international, Premier League winner and Champions League finalist, to dive into the untold stories behind his new book Luxury Player.The lads get stuck into Joe's early rise as a teenage sensation, the madness of being splashed across the papers at 15, and how fame shaped him long before he stepped onto a Premier League pitch. Joe opens up about the pressure, the jealousy, the misconceptions, and how he found his way through it.The conversation also takes us inside Chelsea during the Mourinho revolution — the moment Joe realised everything had changed, what training was really like under Jose, and how that era set the foundations for years of dominance. There's plenty of England nostalgia too: World Cups, quarter-finals, dressing room pranks, and the gut-punch reality of injuries cutting short international dreams.It's honest, funny, nostalgic and full of elite-level insight — a proper football chat with one of the game's most naturally gifted players. And yes, there's tales wine-tasting chaos, mascot scandals, and insight into a black cab driver giving massages at Chelsea… Strap in.Chumbawamba 00:00 — Crouchy opens the pod01:15 — Crouchy, Carragher & Roy Keane at Football For Change03:45 — Roy Keane art gallery story05:00 — Richarlison goal & prediction chaos09:50 — Hole-in-one vs 147 debate15:30 — Arsenal vs Chelsea predictions20:50 — FA Cup memories & Haier ad read22:40 — Introducing Joe Cole23:30 — Nick Collins falling-off-ladder clip25:55 — Joe's Sunday Brunch wine-tasting disaster32:10 — Reconstructing memories for the book33:50 — Being on the front page at 1535:15 — Teacher mocking Joe about money36:10 — Being a target at away grounds43:00 — Joe's dad turning down Sir Alex's mascot invite45:30 — West Ham principles & giving tickets away53:00 — Discussion about “Luxury Player” label01:03:50 — Desailly & the World Cup at Chelsea01:04:20 — Mourinho arrives & changes everything01:21:00 — England heartbreak & final reflectionsFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

What happens when bureaucracy — the very operating system of most companies — becomes the biggest barrier to innovation, agility, and human potential?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists' Summer Series, hosts Timothy Henry and Kate Adams speak with Michele Zanini, co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Humanocracy and global expert on management innovation. Together, they explore how organizations can move beyond outdated, control-heavy structures to thrive in a future defined by radical uncertainty, technological disruption, and human ingenuity.Michele takes us inside bold organizational experiments — from Haier's micro-enterprise model in China to Buurtzorg's nurse-led healthcare revolution in the Netherlands — and explains how even giants like Roche are dismantling bureaucracy to become more agile and resilient. His message: organizations that unleash human creativity and distribute leadership will outpace those clinging to industrial-age hierarchy.This isn't just a conversation about management theory — it's a roadmap for building human-centered, future-ready companies that thrive in disruption and unlock the full potential of their people.Listeners will gain insights into:Why traditional bureaucratic models are collapsing — and what's replacing themHow Haier built an internal marketplace of micro-enterprises to fuel innovationBuurtzorg's “humanity over bureaucracy” approach to healthcare at scaleHow Roche transformed by shifting from command-and-control to empowermentThe principle of freedom within a framework — and how to apply itWhy unleashing human creativity is the ultimate competitive advantagePractical steps for leaders to future-proof their organizationsWhether you're a CEO fighting inertia, a startup founder designing for scale, or a leader ready to reimagine culture and structure, this episode offers powerful insights into how to build organizations that are truly capable of thriving into the future.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

It's reorg season…again. And for many companies, it always is. Every 12 to 18 months, another wave of layoffs, leadership swaps, and org chart redraws rolls through the system. And yet, little changes. Strategy stalls. Trust erodes. Work doesn't get better, just messier. So why do so many organizations keep reaching for the reorg lever first? This week, Rodney and Sam unpack the seductive logic (and systemic failure) of reorgs as a change strategy. They dig into why structure work always feels like the fastest, most visible move a leader can make and why it so rarely delivers. Along the way, they explore the very real fallout of these moves on culture, trust, and performance, and offer smarter starting points for those considering a shake-up. -------------------------------- Let's work together: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theready.com/working-together⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The extended leadership team (those just below the C-suite) often finds itself stuck between translating strategy and triaging dysfunction. They're tasked with cross-functional execution, but are rarely equipped, empowered, or aligned to pull it off. And in most organizations, this group is caught in a cycle of managing up, managing down, and managing chaos all around—with very little time or clarity left to lead. This week, Rodney and Sam take a closer look at what's really going on with extended leadership teams, why they matter so much, and what gets in their way. From power dynamics and peer competition to vertical incentives and missing cross-functional glue, they pull apart the system that makes this group so hard to organize—and so critical to transformation. They also share field-tested tactics that can turn this underutilized layer into an OS-upgrading powerhouse. -------------------------------- Let's work together: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.theready.com/working-together⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

GE Appliances President and CEO Kevin Nolan says a move to bring expanded laundry machine production to Louisville, from China is part of the company's ‘zero-distance' business strategy.We talk about the move and the strategy with LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett on this week's Access Louisville podcast.As Stinnett reported on Thursday, GE Appliances is spending $490 million to expand its local footprint and create an additional 800 full-time jobs at Appliance Park. The investment will move production of the GE Profile Combo Washer/Dryer and the GE Profile UltraFresh Front Load Washer from China to Building 2 at Appliance Park, located at 4000 Buechel Bank Road.The strategy seeks to make appliances as close as possible to our customers and consumers and "aligns with the current economic and policy environment,” Nolan said in a news release announcing the investment.GE Appliances is Louisville's eighth-largest employer, according to Louisville Business First research, with 8,400 local employees. The company has been at Appliance Park, which is more than 6 million square feet on 750 acres, since 1953. The park houses GE Appliances' technology and engineering center, industrial design, distribution center, warehouse operations and production of washers, dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators.The company was spun off from General Electric and acquired by China-based Haier in a $5.4 billion deal in 2016.The expansion comes one year after GE Appliances laid off 4% of its global salaried workforce, citing an appliance industry that was, “even more challenging than anticipated.”JCPS news and moreLater in the show we talk about Yum Brands Inc.'s donation of its 28.4-acre campus at 1441 Gardiner Lane to Jefferson County Public Schools. Stinnett spoke with JCPS Marty Pollio about the donation recently. After nearly 30 years as an educator, Pollio doesn't shock easily, as you can imagine. But he told Stinnett he was floored by the generosity of the gift. “This donation from Yum Brands is the equivalent of a brand new elementary school at JCPS that we will be able to build as a result of this,” Pollio said. “That generous gift will impact generations of young people in this community.”Pollio's last day as superintendent was June 30. His replacement, Brian Yearwood, started July 1. For the last segment of the show we talk about gas stations — including a new location for Wawa and the sale of the former Thornton's property in Downtown Louisville.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Chinese consumers have exhibited robust purchasing power for home appliances and intelligent electronic products during this year's "618" shopping carnival, a weekslong sales event that culminates on June 18, as e-commerce platforms have ramped up efforts to offer steep discounts and shopping subsidies amid the country's pro-consumption policies, such as the consumer goods trade-in program.中国消费者在今年为期数周、高潮在6月18日的618购物节期间，对家电和智能电子产品展现出了强劲购买力。在消费品以旧换新等国家促消费政策的背景下，电商平台加大打折力度并提供购物补贴。Experts said the midyear promotional event is expected to play a vital role in further stimulating people's purchasing appetite, expanding domestic demand and promoting the recovery of the consumer market, given that boosting consumption is a top priority for China's economic growth this year.专家表示，鉴于提振消费是今年中国经济增长的重点任务，618大促活动有望在进一步刺激消费需求、扩大内需、促进消费市场复苏方面发挥重要作用。Data from e-commerce giant JD, which initiated the "618" shopping extravaganza, showed that the turnover, order volume and number of shoppers placing orders on the platform all increased more than 200 percent year-on-year in the first hour of the shopping gala, which officially started at 8 pm on Friday.电商巨头京东是618购物节的发起者。数据显示，在5月31日晚8点618购物节开启的第一小时内，京东平台的成交额、订单量和下单用户数均实现超2倍同比提升。More than 20,000 brands saw their sales surge more than threefold year-on-year during this hour, and the turnover in the electronics categories soared over 380 percent from a year earlier, JD said. Meanwhile, over 500 home appliance and home lifestyle brands recorded over tenfold growth in turnover compared with the previous year.京东数据显示，在本轮促销开启一小时内，超2万个品牌成交额同比增长超3倍，电子品类成交额同比飙升超380%。与此同时，超500个家电家居品牌成交额同比增长超10倍。The transaction volume of Apple, Xiaomi, Midea, Huawei and Haier each surpassed 100 million yuan ($13.9 million) very quickly within the first hour of the promotion, while the sales of more than 10,000 popular electronic products such as gaming laptops, high-end earphones and intelligent robots skyrocketed over tenfold year-on-year.在促销开启一小时内，苹果、小米、美的、华为、海尔等品牌成交额迅速突破1亿元（约合1390万美元），游戏笔记本、高端耳机、智能机器人等超1万款电子爆品成交额同比增长超10倍。According to Tmall, Alibaba Group's business-to-customer platform, 217 brands saw their sales exceed 100 million yuan between 8 pm on May 16 and 9 pm on Friday.阿里巴巴集团旗下企业对消费者平台天猫的数据显示，在5月16日晚8点至5月17日晚9点期间，217个品牌成交额突破1亿元。The turnover of home appliances, mobile phones and digital products participating in the country's trade-in program increased 283 percent compared with last year's Singles Day shopping festival, a weekslong sales event that peaks on Nov 11. The overall sales of home appliances, home decorations and electronic gadgets registered double-digit growth year-on-year, Tmall said.参与全品类以旧换新活动的家电、手机、数码产品成交额较去年双11购物节增长283%。天猫数据显示，家电、家装、电子产品整体成交额同比增长两位数。Consumers increasingly prefer to snap up bargains via livestreaming on the e-commerce platform, with the turnover from 419 livestreaming rooms surpassing 10 million yuan as of 9 pm on Friday.消费者越来越倾向于通过电商平台的直播间抢购打折商品，截至5月17日晚9点，419个直播间成交额突破1000万元。"Consumption has become the main driving force boosting China's economic growth, and the June 18 online shopping extravaganza is pivotal in terms of unleashing consumers' purchasing potential, driving domestic demand and shoring up the economy amid external uncertainties," said Wang Yun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research.中国宏观经济研究院研究员王云表示：“消费已成为拉动中国经济增长的主要动力。在外部不确定性的背景下，618购物节在释放消费者购买潜力、拉动内需和支撑经济方面至关重要。”Stephan Patton, from the United States, who works for a multinational company in Shanghai, recently bought a new refrigerator and outdoor sports equipment on Chinese e-commerce platforms. "I am delighted to stock up on products that I am keen to purchase without spending too much money during the shopping festival."史蒂芬·帕顿（Stephan Patton）来自美国，在上海一家跨国公司工作。他最近在中国的电商平台上购买了一台新冰箱和一些户外运动装备。他表示：“我非常高兴能在购物节期间，不用花太多钱就囤积到我渴望购买的商品。”He said there are some pretty decent discounts if people can catch them in time, and he enjoyed a discount of about 20 percent with shopping coupons.他说，如果人们能及时抓住机会，就能获得相当不错的折扣，他使用购物优惠券享受了大约20%的折扣。China's efficient delivery services have also greatly impressed him. "Most items can be delivered to my doorstep the next day after placing an order. It is quite convenient."中国高效的配送服务也给他留下了深刻印象。“大多数商品下单后第二天就能送到家门口，非常方便。”This year's Government Work Report listed vigorously boosting consumption and expanding domestic demand across the board as a top priority among the major tasks for 2025.今年的《政府工作报告》将“着力扩大国内需求，推动经济实现良性循环”列为2025年重点工作任务之首。The country announced a raft of measures to expand the scope of the consumer goods trade-in program in January, increasing funding from 150 billion yuan last year to 300 billion yuan through ultra-long-term special treasury bonds, and offering subsidies for more home appliances and electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and smartwatches.国家在1月份宣布了一系列扩大消费品以旧换新范围的措施，通过超长期特别国债将去年1500亿元的资金规模增加至3000亿元，并为更多家电和电子产品（如智能手机、平板电脑和智能手表）提供补贴。"The policy measures to encourage trade-ins of consumer goods have not only motivated consumers' enthusiasm to purchase and bolstered the sales of consumer electronic products and household appliances on online marketplaces, but also propelled the popularity of green and energy-saving commodities," said Mo Daiqing, a senior analyst at the Internet Economy Institute, a domestic consultancy.国内咨询机构互联网经济研究院的高级分析师莫岱青表示：“鼓励消费品以旧换新的政策措施不仅激发了消费者的购买热情，促进了消费电子产品和家用电器在线上市场的销售，也推动了绿色节能商品的普及。”Mo noted that Chinese consumers have become more value-conscious and are inclined to purchase premium products with high cost-effectiveness, emphasizing that retailers should step up investment in technological innovation, elevating the quality of products and upgrading supply chains to attract more young shoppers.莫岱青指出，中国消费者变得更加重视价值，倾向于购买高性价比的高端产品。她强调，零售商应加大科技创新投入，提升产品质量并升级供应链，以吸引更多年轻消费者。Hong Yong, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that online retailers have made promotional methods simpler this time, with direct price cuts being a preferred strategy, which is conducive to improving users' shopping experience.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员洪勇表示，此次线上零售商使促销方式更加简化，直接降价成为首选策略，这有助于改善用户的购物体验。"Chinese consumers are more rational now and carefully review their needs, with an emphasis on the quality and value of products, as well as after-sales service," Hong said, adding that more efforts should be made to provide customized goods and services to satisfy diversified demands, while improving logistics networks and driving brand upgrading and product innovation.洪勇说：“中国消费者现在更加理性，会仔细审视自己的需求，更注重产品的品质、价值以及售后服务。”他补充道，应加大力度提供定制化的商品和服务以满足多元化需求，同时完善物流网络，推动品牌升级和产品创新。robust/rəʊˈbʌst/adj. 强健的；坚固的；强劲的gala/ˈɡɑːlə/n. 盛会；演出ramp up上升；增加trade-in折价旧物；以旧换新online retailers线上零售商 after-sales service售后服务

W specjalnym odcinku podcastu „WojewódzkiKędzierski”, nagranym na żywo podczas 10. edycji konferencji Impact, Kuba Wojewódzki i Piotr Kędzierski goszczą Krzysztofa Hołowczyca, nowego ambasadora marki Haier, oraz Marcina Majchrzaka, prezesa Haier Polska. Legendarny kierowca rajdowy opowiada o swojej niezwykłej pasji do życia, sportu i motoryzacji. Dzieli się przepisem na niesłabnącą witalność — jak zauważają prowadzący, jego wiek biologiczny jest porównywalny z wiekiem Rihanny. Hołowczyc zabiera słuchaczy za kulisy rajdów, zdradza, jak wygląda codzienność sportowca, a także… otwiera drzwi do swojego domu, opowiadając, jak kariera i życiowa filozofia wpłynęły na styl jazdy jego córek. Nie mogło też zabraknąć rodzinnego motta: „Pchaj, nie pier*”**. Na koniec zdradza, jakie sportowe wyzwania wciąż ma przed sobą.

When the Chinese multinational Haier acquired Italy-based Candy, it consolidated and integrated the new European treasury into its group structure. The household appliance company grappled with multiple countries, entities and currencies across the region and needed to find a way to gain greater visibility and efficiency with its cash management.

In this episode of Work Matters, host Thomas Bertels and innovation management expert Bill Fischer discuss the Chinese company Haier and how its unique operating model has enabled its rapid growth. Bill explains how Haier evolved from its roots as a local refrigerator company to become a global innovator by embracing two big ideas: zero distance to the customer and entrepreneurship.The discussion covers Haier's use of microenterprises and platforms to enhance customer experience and employee autonomy, highlighting the importance of organizational vitality. Fischer also sheds light on the leadership of Zhang Ruimin, his adherence to Peter Drucker's principles, and the company's dedication to experimentation. Practical insights on fostering curiosity, distributing value, and sustaining organizational changes are shared to inspire leaders to make work more productive and meaningful.

In this episode of the Innovation Show, we dive into Chapter 3 of Gary Hamel's influential book, 'Leading the Revolution.' Gary, one of the early proponents of business model generation, discusses the concept of Business Concept Innovation and how it has reshaped industries over the years.

China's emphasis on developing new quality productive forces based on local conditions and accelerating the establishment of a modern industrial system will provide strong momentum for long-term economic growth while enhancing the resilience and competitiveness of its industrial and supply chains, national legislators, political advisers and experts said.全国立法委员、政治顾问和专家表示，中国强调因地制宜发展新质生产力，加快建立现代产业体系，为长期经济增长提供强劲动力，同时增强产业链和供应链弹力和竞争力。They called for efforts to boost enterprises' independent innovation capabilities, achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields and drive industrial upgrades by integrating cutting-edge digital technologies with the real economy.他们呼吁努力提升企业的自主创新能力，实现关键领域核心技术的突破，并通过前沿数字技术与实体经济的融合带动产业升级。Their comments followed the release of this year' s Government Work Report, which states that China will pursue integrated advancements in technological and industrial innovation, push forward new industrialization, and expand and strengthen advanced manufacturing to foster new growth drivers and upgrade traditional ones.今年的《政府工作报告》指出，中国将统筹推进科技创新和产业创新，推进新型工业化，做大做强先进制造业，培育新的增长动力，改造提升传统产业。“The cultivation of new quality productive forces is a key focus in promoting high-quality economic growth and a strategic choice in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation,” said Zhou Yunjie, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress and chairman and CEO of Chinese home appliance manufacturer Haier Group.第十四届全国人大代表、中国家电制造商海尔集团董事局主席兼首席执行官周云杰表示：“培育新质生产力是推动经济高质量增长的重点，也是新一轮科技革命和产业变革的战略选择。”Zhou said the industrial internet, as a new type of infrastructure, has played a pivotal role in driving the development of new quality productive forces, advancing new industrialization and accelerating the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises.他表示，工业互联网作为一种新型基础设施，在推动新质生产力发展、推进新型工业化、加快企业数字化转型升级等方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。As China strives to become a manufacturing powerhouse, more efforts are needed to promote the innovative application of the industrial internet and fully unlock the value of massive data resources, Zhou said.中国正努力成为制造强国，需要加大力度推动工业互联网的创新应用，充分释放海量数据资源的价值。He added that Haier will continue to pursue technological innovation and integrate artificial intelligence technology with the manufacturing sector.他还表示，海尔将继续追求技术创新，将人工智能技术与制造业相结合。Cao Peng, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of e-commerce giant JD's technology committee, said, “Scientific and technological innovation is the core element for nurturing new quality productive forces, while digital technologies represented by AI have become an important engine driving their development.”第十四届全国政协委员、电商巨头京东集团技术委员会主席曹鹏说：“科技创新是培育新质生产力的核心要素，而以人工智能为代表的数字技术已成为推动其发展的重要引擎。”He called for accelerating the construction of computing power infrastructure to expand the application of large language models across more fields and lower computing costs for enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized ones.他呼吁加快计算能力基础设施建设，将大语言模型的应用扩展到更多领域，降低企业尤其是中小企业的计算成本。Luo Zhongwei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics, said, “Fostering new growth drivers and upgrading traditional industries by leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies such as AI, 5G and big data have been high on China's development agenda.”中国社会科学院工业经济研究所研究员罗仲伟说：“借助人工智能、5G、大数据等前沿数字技术，培育新的增长动力，改造提升传统产业，一直是中国发展的重要议程。”Luo said China has sent a clear signal that it will further implement an innovation-driven development strategy to shift from old growth drivers to new ones. He emphasized the importance of developing new quality productive forces based on local conditions and avoiding blind investments in specific fields.他提到，中国已发出明确信号，将进一步实施创新驱动发展战略，从旧的增长动力转向新的增长动力。他强调，必须因地制宜发展新质生产力，避免在特定领域盲目投资。China's move to accelerate the building of a modern industrial system will support the intelligent, high-end and green transformation of traditional industries, consolidate economic recovery and bolster the country's ability to navigate external challenges and uncertainties, Luo said.他还表示，中国加快构建现代产业体系，将支持传统产业向智能化、高端化、绿色化转型，巩固经济复苏态势，增强中国应对外部挑战和不确定性的能力。The Government Work Report also said China will promote the integrated and clustered development of strategic emerging industries, establish a mechanism to increase funding for industries of the future and foster sectors such as biomanufacturing, quantum technology, embodied AI and 6G technology.《政府工作报告》还指出，中国将推动战略性新兴产业融合集聚发展，建立未来产业资金投入增长机制，培育生物制造、量子技术、人工智能、6G技术等领域。Dong Mingzhu, a deputy to the 14th NPC and chairwoman of Gree Electric Appliances, said manufacturing enterprises must strengthen their independent innovation capacities in cutting-edge technologies and continuously improve the quality of products and services to foster new quality productive forces.第十四届全国人大代表、格力电器董事长董明珠表示，制造业企业必须加强前沿技术的自主创新能力，不断提高产品和服务质量，培育新质生产力。Li Dongsheng, a deputy to the 14th NPC and founder and chairman of consumer electronics company TCL Technology Group, said, “Chinese enterprises should play a bigger role in boosting technological innovation.”第十四届全国人大代表、消费电子公司TCL科技集团创始人兼董事长李东生说：“中国企业应在推动技术创新方面发挥更大作用。”He said TCL will strengthen its innovative capabilities in original technologies and increase investment in AI, augmented reality, virtual reality and next-generation display technologies.他表示，TCL将加强原创技术的创新能力，加大对人工智能、增强现实、虚拟现实和下一代显示技术的投入。Advancing new quality productive forces requires further stimulating technological innovation, continuously investing in scientific research and talent development and supporting the intelligent transformation of industries, Li said.他提到，推进新质生产力建设，需要进一步激发科技创新活力，持续加大科研投入和人才培养力度，支持产业智能化转型。Momentumn.

Dr. Richard Haier is an emeritus professor of Pediatric Neurology at UC Irvine, who spent his career studying the neuroscience of intelligence. Over the course of his career, Haier has come to believe in the existence of a “g-factor,” a measurable quantity of broad spectrum intelligence that is universally predictive of success in all cultures. He also believes that intelligence is a fixed characteristic, and that it's possible to predict someone's intelligence by watching how their brain works when trying to solve a puzzle. We sit down with him to figure out how far one can take this theory of intelligence before running headlong into a heartless social darwinism, why intelligence research feels so creepy, if IQ tests are actually measuring what we think they're measuring, if intelligence is really the thing that we should be optimizing for, and if it's possible for technology to make us dumber.

Christine Schelble is the Director of Insurance and Risk Management at GE Appliances, a Haier company. She is one of the founding members of what is now the Greater Bluegrass Chapter of RIMS, which won the 2024 Chapter of the Year Award at RISKWORLD. [2:49] Christine has decades of experience leading risk management initiatives for global companies. We will learn about what it takes to be in that sort of position, how she progressed throughout her career, and when and where she saw opportunities and took them. [3:07] This will be a fun way to kick off 2025; let's get started! Christine Schelble, welcome to RIMScast! [3:18] GE sold GE Appliances on June 6, 2016, to Haier, the world's largest home appliance company. They are located in China. Christine works for Haier U.S. Appliance Solutions, Inc. doing business as GE Appliances, a Haier Company. It is the Haier U.S. headquarters. [4:09] Christine is a department of one. She works with people throughout the company. The goal of risk management is to spread that philosophy throughout the company. It has only improved since she started. She has lots of support when it comes to claims and coverage. [5:11] Christine had come from a technology company and was very familiar with the technology supply chain. When she came on board, she met with the supply chain people to learn their philosophy and processes. The only time she gets involved with them is for an insurance claim. [6:05] In appliances, Christine says there are so many “Black Fridays” in the year that you can see the returns ebb and flow throughout the year. It's not a serious problem. [6:44] Christine left Lexmark in 2001 after 15 years. One of her risk management connections called her and said that the position was opening at GE Appliances. She wanted new challenges so she sent in her resume, interviewed with them, and got the position. [7:43] Christine says it's one of the best jobs she's ever had. She's been able to take everything that she's learned and implement it into a startup program. That has been rewarding. When she started, it was the first time GE Appliances was managing and purchasing insurance coverage. [8:23] Christine joined GE Appliances three months after the sale and took a couple of months to understand how things worked. She started making changes at her first renewal because she could see where things hadn't worked out in relationships and coverage. [9:25] Risk management for your company is not a static position. It's constantly changing. You've got to constantly look at what's going on in the insurance market and what's going on internally and adapt your coverages, deductibles, and maybe your relationship with your TPA. [9:17] The way the program looked in 2016 when she came in is not the way it looks now. [9:30] The biggest third-party GE Appliances works with is the claims administrator. Otherwise, Christine works with brokers. Currently, she works with three different brokers for the competition. If the relationship is not great, she'll change the people on her account. [10:28] For risk managers coming up in the industry, Christine recommends keeping up with your education, getting your designations, attending webinars and seminars, and doing everything you can to keep up with what's going on in the insurance market. It's constantly changing. [10:49] Christine will do an RFP when she's looking to change something. You've got to have face-to-face conversations with your brokers, carriers, and TPAs. You have to educate them on your business and products. Your company and products are not the same as another's. [11:41] If you're just moving to a TPA because they gave you the lowest price, it's not going to work unless you work with them and have an ongoing relationship. Christine has them come in, meet her people, go through some of GE Appliance's processes, and see the plants. [12:01] Christine has done the same things in her previous jobs, as well. [12:15] TPAs changed how they worked during the pandemic. The TPA world will continue to change in reaction to changes in the world.  [12:50] Christine has a process for developing an RFP. She starts with having a non-disclosure agreement in place. That's very important. Then she shares exposure information, the insurance schedule, the actuary report, and a loss run or two, so they can understand the overall risk.   [13:33] She puts hot points into the RFP, how to move claims forward, and how the program should be improved and moved forward. That's been her philosophy throughout her career. [14:17] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Resolver will be joining us on February 6th with a topic to be arranged. [14:25] HUB International continues its Ready for Tomorrow Series with RIMS. On February 20th, they will host “Ready for the Unexpected? Strategies for Property Valuation, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in 2025”. [14:41] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [14:52] Nominations are also open for the Donald M. Stuart Award which recognizes excellence in risk management in Canada. Links are in this episode's show notes. [15:04] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved in part by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [15:22] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in general grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process will open on May 1st, 2025, and close on July 30th, 2025. [15:45] General grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's general grants through the Programs tab at SpencerEd.org. [15:57] Back to the Conclusion of My Interview with Christine Schelble!  [16:23] Christine shares how she works as a department of one. She just continues to do what she's educated to do. When she looks back, it feels great to see all that she has done. It's important to get the relationships going so that people can trust you. [16:49] Christine works with the Finance, the supply chain, the manufacturing finance people, and Legal, where she is located. It's about building the trust factor. [17:12] Christine is a long-time member of the  RIMS Kentucky and Bluegrass Chapters, which are now the RIMS Greater Bluegrass Chapter. Christine has been in RIMS since she started in risk management. She loves the support from other risk professionals and the networking. [18:13] Christine started with RIMS in the D.C. area, then in Connecticut. She moved to New Jersey and was in RIMS in New Jersey and New York. When she moved to Kentucky, she joined the chapter. She was president for a year or two around 2003 or 2004. [18:46] Christine is thrilled that the younger members of the community have started the chapter back up. During economic downturns there was a loss of people and others couldn't get out to meetings. The same five people were doing the same job and they were ready to pass the torch. [19:21] It took several years for the torch to come back up. Christine acknowledges the work of Jeremy, Erica, Britt, and Brittany in getting the chapter up and going again. Christine is more than happy to help and support them by sitting on the board. [19:50] The Greater Bluegrass Chapter of RIMS was named the 2024 Chapter of the Year. Christine says that was a good feeling. It was fun to support them at RISKWORLD 2024 in receiving that award. [20:42] Christine is thrilled to see that in the younger generations, there are more women in higher positions within insurance carriers and brokers. When she started, there weren't as many. She says it is such a great career, whether you are male, female, or whatever. It's amazing! [21:22] Christine is thrilled to see that more schools offer risk and insurance as a degree. The Greater Bluegrass Chapter supports Eastern Kentucky University and its risk and insurance curriculum with an annual golf tournament in September that raises money for scholarships. [21:55] The Greater Bluegrass Chapter has also asked the university to have a student become a member to help expand their knowledge into the RIMS world. Justin mentions Spencer's Risk Manager on Campus program. He thanks Christine for her continued service in RIMS.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek The cutting edge van Bjørn Aris. Ondertitel The martial art of doing business. Aris begon zijn carrière bij ABN AMRO en daarna als investment bankier bij Lloyds Banking Group en NIBC. Na een reis door het verre Oosten startte hij een internetbedrijf, welke hij enkele jaren later verkocht. Zijn reis inspireerde hem om Oosterse wijsheden verder te onderzoeken als een manier van leven en wat mensen succesvol in werk maakt. Sinds 2000 werkt hij als spreker, trainer en consultant voor het bedrijfsleven. In zijn lezingen en trainingen combineert Aris zijn ervaring als investment banker en ondernemer met zijn kennis in oosterse filosofieën. Volgens Aris is innerlijke balans tussen lichaam en geest en tussen ratio (linkerhersenhelft) en intuïtie (rechterhersenhelft) de sleutel tot succes. Hiervoor is een ontspannen toestand vereist. Bjørn Aris ontwikkelde op basis van zijn bevindingen in 2004 een methode die mensen helpt effectiever te leren en gedragsverandering toe te passen. Hij koppelt hierbij theorie aan beweging, waardoor de ratio wordt omzeild en nieuwe cognitieve verbindingen worden aangemaakt. De oorspronkelijke titel was De zon komt op in het Oosten (2011), dit werd The cutting edge in 2012. Wij lazen de vierde druk uit 2019. Zijn tweede boek De lessen van een Samoerai dat we eerder hebben besproken uit 2020. Voor mij is er een duidelijk verschil in zijn eerste en tweede boek. In dit boek staan veel algemeenheden zonder verwijzingen waar Bjorn dit vandaan heeft. Meest interessante is het laatste hoofdstuk met suggesties wat we in het Westen kunnen gebruiken uit de Japanse wereld in het bedrijf en als mens. Boek Inleiding Het probleem Wat westerse bedrijven van Japan kunnen leren Japanse kennis - het Japanse zwaard, de bron Hoe word je succesvol? Japanse lessen in de praktijk Nawoord Inleiding Japanse oplossingen voor westerse problemen aan de hand van de Japanse Weg van het zwaard. Het probleem Westers denken leunt op ratio. Door scheiding lichaam en geest (Grieken) en de mens centraal te stellen zijn we de verbinding met anderen en de natuur kwijt geraakt. De hang naar materie is ons aangeleerd en kunnen we dus ook eer loslaten. Belemmerende factoren: conditionering, ego en angst. De geldwereld heeft de verbinding met de reële economie verloren. p15 allemaal problemen in het westerse bedrijfsleven. Inleiding naar volgende hoofdstuk Wat westerse bedrijven van Japan kunnen leren Hier wordt vooral de Toyota Way en het kaizen-principe besproken.  Bijzonder op p27 worden de resultaten genoemd van Toyota - in 2010 - terwijl jaar daarvoor verlies wordt gedraaid en er een terugroepactie is. In het vorige hoofdstuk praat hij over angst als belemmerende factor. In dit hoofdstuk op p29 heeft hij het over de angst voor uitsluiting in Japan en zelfdoding van de Japanse directeur. Klinkt niet als een goed voorbeeld. Bjorn kiest daarom waarschijnlijk voor cherry-picking. Uitleg over Bunsha - Japanse managementmethode. - Zie ook boek Start Up Factory over Haier. De meest natuurlijke manier om te groeien, is door te delen (celdeling). Gecontroleerde groei. Intrinsieke motivatie: verlangen naar vrijheid. Vertrouwen, erkenning en respect zijn belangrijkste waarden voor werknemer. Belangrijkste te doen is goed voor de klant zorgen. Focus op het proces in het hier en nu en niet op het resultaat. In Japan ben je geen ik, maar wordt je ik gevormd door de relaties die je hebt. Management is beheersen van processen en werknemers, leiderschap is juist loslaten daarvan. Japanse kennis - het Japanse zwaard, de bron p56 weer de mooie uitspraken in Japan tussen je 70e ne 80e piek je. Als je inzicht in het leven verkrijgt 10 minuten voor je sterft ben je op tijd. Tot die tijd,... gewoon doortrainen. De vorm is het begin, dan volgt de ontwikkeling en tenslotte volgt loslaten. Bijzonder hoofdstuk.

After our headlines we discuss a new piece from Workday Magazine this week covering the progress in growing the coalition for a May Day 2028 general strike. Workers at GE Appliances are gearing up for a strike after years of lost benefits and stagnant wages since new owners Haier bought the company. More companies are making use of AI, effective or not, to justify cutting jobs, we discuss how some unions are fighting back. A story in The Guardian this week documents a shocking case of racist abuse at USPS and the fight for accountability. Finally, we celebrate the historic union victory of 800 workers at a Walmart distribution center outside Toronto, as workers once again take on the legendarily anti-union behemoth.

“The way we were running distribution, the processes we were using, it wasn't a matter of, ‘Well, just incrementally improve what you've got.' “We needed to rethink, take a step back and say, ‘Are we really set up the way we need to be set up?'” - Marcia Brey, VP of Logistics for GE Appliances (via the WSJ) GE Appliances recently made news for a series of planned investments in their supply chain. As interesting as their efforts are today, they are the next step in an ongoing series of advancements and adjustments… and advancements and adjustments. Now owned by Haier, a Shanghai-based company, GE Appliances has been on both sides of the outsourcing - reshoring divide. As they respond to macro conditions and competitive pressures, their supply chain is what connects production with customers, and the top line with the bottom, regardless of continual change.  In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner addresses three key questions about their operation: Is GE Appliances really (successfully) reshoring manufacturing? How is the Department of Transportation's FLOW program helping them manage potential supply chain disruptions? What role do metrics play in how they manage high stakes decisions about labor and inventory?

Wojciech Szczęsny w pierwszej rozmowie po narodzinach córeczki. Co czuje, jako ojciec dziewczynki? Chciałby dla niej męża piłkarza, a może wolałby, żeby to jego syn grał w piłkę? Rozmawiamy o tym, czy warto mieć tytuł magistra, czy Robert Lewandowski ma poczucie humoru i dlaczego Wojtek żonglowałby piłką na wezwanie prezydenta. Ważny jest oczywiście kontekst, a to była jedna z rozmów, która mogłaby toczyć się bez końca. Jakie są jego dalsze plany zawodowe? Dlaczego wisi pieniądze Messiemu? Kto go wychował: mama czy piłka? Jest w trakcie zdjęć do filmu o sobie, ale już zapowiada, że nie będzie to laurka, bo takiej nie potrzebuje. Kiedy płakał najwięcej? Dlaczego piłkarze nie zabierają głosu w kwestiach politycznych? Z jakich względów nie chciał zrezygnować z premii? Opowiada nam też o swojej rodzinie, karierze żony i o tym, kto z młodych polskich piłkarzy jego zdaniem jest najzdolniejszy. Czego mu życzyć? Tego dowiemy się pod koniec rozmowy z Wojtkiem Szczęsnym. Zapraszamy do wysłuchania całości. Partnerem podcastu WojewódzkiKędzierski jest marka Haier #płatnawspółpraca
