Podcasts about operational control

How do you scale a consulting business from £2M to £30M without losing culture, customer focus, or entrepreneurial energy?In this episode, Joe O'Mahoney speaks with Stuart Packham, Group CEO of Alchemist Group, about scaling professional services businesses through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions, operational rigor, and people-first leadership. Stuart shares lessons from building a private equity-backed buy-and-build platform across leadership development, sales training, and experiential learning.The conversation explores the realities of integrating acquired firms, managing founders during M&A transitions, and balancing infrastructure with entrepreneurial culture. Stuart also discusses how consulting firms should think about AI, both as a customer-facing capability and as an internal scalability lever, while avoiding “technology for technology's sake.” The discussion also covers private equity partnerships, the importance of financial discipline and operational infrastructure, and why culture and sales enablement become critical as firms grow internationally.Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(03:20) Building a Buy-and-Build Consulting Platform(07:50) AI's Impact on Consulting and Sales Training(15:50) Scaling from £2M to £30M Revenue(19:40) Infrastructure, Systems, and Operational Control(26:00) What Private Equity Really Changes(33:20) Culture, Retention, and Integration in M&A(39:30) Common Sales Mistakes in Boutique ConsultanciesFollow Stuart on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuartpackham Alchemist Group Website:https://thisisalchemist.com RAIN Group Website:https://www.rainsalestraining.com Send us Fan MailProf. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit. Follow Joe on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeomahoney/Follow Joe on Twitter:https://twitter.com/joeomahoneyVisit Joe's Website:https://www.equitysherpa.com

John Casmon interviews Justin Spillers, a former real estate attorney turned full-time multifamily investor, about his journey from practicing law to building a vertically integrated value-add multifamily business in Ohio.

According to Kearney's latest Supply Chain Navigator 2025 H2 Outlook, global supply chain costs are projected to rise from 4 to 7% above inflation by Q4 2025. We examine disruption-led cost inflation and what "designing for disruption” really means in today's manufacturing landscape. Our guest, Rupal Deshmukh, Partner, Kearney, explains the intent behind the Supply Chain Navigator and what the findings reveal about the role of AI and digital tools in building adaptive, high-performing operations.

 David Maxwell discusses South Korea's military spending increase, the largest in over 15 years, which supports the goal of developing independent warfighting capabilities and transitioning operational control (OPCON). He clarifies that the complexity of OPCON transfer is often misunderstood as a sovereignty issue. Maxwell notes that North Korea is thriving due to growing support from China and Russia, making Kim Jong-un less motivated to normalize relations with the United States.

The green new scam had the opposite effect. The EU economy would not be able to withstand the tariffs Trump was placing on them, they have folded.

The [DS] is in a deep panic, their entire system is being dismantled, first Trump exposed and shutdown their money supply, then Trump removed their security clearance, now Trump has dismantled their intelligence nerve center, the [DS] no longer has operational control, the patriots do.

Source: breitbart.com Tensions rise again between the EU and the US over trade. Donald Trump's latest threat to impose a 50 percent tariff on all imports from the 27-nation bloc has sent shockwaves through Europe. Experts warn that 50% tariffs could trigger an economic collapse on the scale of the 2008–2009 financial crisis. Across the EU, citizens already grappling with a cost-of-living crisis have been reacting with alarm to Donald Trump's threat.  Canada Caved and Begged Trump for Peace, And Somehow the Entire World Missed It If you did not hear about one of President Donald Trump's latest tariff-related victories last week, you have company. It escaped our attention, too. Of course, the global establishment has enriched itself on the current system of “free trade.” So you must look closely to find positive reporting from the establishment media on the effects of Trump's tariffs. According to Bloomberg, the economic advisory firm Oxford Economics calculated last week that the new Canadian government under Prime Minister Mark Carney has quietly adopted a conciliatory approach in the wake of Trump's aggressive tariff policies, resulting in a minuscule tariff increase of “nearly zero” on most U.S. products entering Canada. Tony Stillo, Oxford's director of Canada economics, explained. “It's a very strategic approach from a new prime minister to really say, ‘We're not going to have a retaliation,'” Stillo said in an interview. “It's a strategic play on the government's part to not damage the Canadian economy.”   In March, the Canadian government retaliated against Trump's tariffs by imposing its own 25 percent import taxes. Those taxes affected roughly $43 billion worth of American-made imports. Then, another round of Canadian tariffs hit U.S.-made autos in April. A series of exemptions from Carney's government, however, have effectively reduced those tariff increases to “nearly zero.” And that represents a significant victory for Trump. Is Trump's “tariffs to get them to the table” strategy working?

On this episode of Best Ever CRE, Slocomb Reed interviews Lee Yoder, a multifamily owner-operator based in Cincinnati, about the transformative impact of bringing property management operations in-house. Lee shares how managing his own 283-unit portfolio led to lower vacancy and delinquency rates, a drop in turnover expenses, and significantly improved cash flow. He also details how internalizing operations enabled him to build a reliable team and scale his business more confidently—culminating in a recent acquisition that nearly doubled his portfolio. The conversation emphasizes the long-term strategic and financial benefits of aligning management incentives with ownership goals.

The Biden Administration says if you're against illegal immigration then you're against immigration and that means you're a racist.  Morgan says you can't be for border security and support illegal immigration.  As illegal immigration goes up, our ability to secure our border goes down.  At the end of the day, the only entity profiting from open borders are the Cartels.  There's no reason for an open border other than a perceived political benefit by the Democrat Party.  They are jeopardizing America for votes.  The Mexican Cartels are one of the most powerful and influential criminal organizations in the world.   GUEST:  MARK MORGAN, FMR TOP DHS OFFICIAL

It feels like we're at war, ambushed every day by the radical left. It's not just gov't coming at us, it's Disney, big tech, corporations, sports, even elementary schools. So much more coming at us than 15 years ago. The state of the nation is dying and quickly. Majority of illegals are Central American, Russian, Ukraine, Yemen and China, terrorists on the watch list crossing the border. And the world laughs at Biden's weakness. Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are seizing their opportunities while Biden begs Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil.   GUEST: ABE HAMADEH, ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL        CANDIDATE

They speak about the history of Operational Control (OPCON) between South Korean and American forces, the issue of potential troop withdrawals, the difficulties that have arisen over the years in trying to find a solution to this issue, the inherent risk that such actions might embolden North Korea, and importantly the Presidential years of Jimmy Carter and how they help to contextualize the current debate.

In this episode I talk about the Emirates 521 accident in Dubai and the Delta Air Lines computer failure.  The topic is operational control and the life part I get to fly the aircraft I am looking at buying!    

Today is June 26, 2016. Sunday. Sixty six years ago when Korean war broke out, President Lee of Korean government gave away Korea's wartime operational control of troops to U.S. government. Since then, Korea has become the only country in the world without wartime operational control. If a war break out again in Korea, U.S. government will control Korean army and Korean soldiers have to follow U.S. President's orders. Two days agao, one of the opposition leaders pointed out that current government's security status is still dependet on U.S. government and defence-related corruptions are widespread like corruption heaven. However, ruling party spokewoman criticized him for his lack of security awareness and he is talking like a representative of North Korea. I do not know who is to blame for.
