Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 20 Luglio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Intelligenza artificiale, produttività e competizione tecnologicaTestate: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / Repubblica Affari&Finanza / La StampaLa competizione sull'Intelligenza Artificiale è ormai una partita industriale e geopolitica tra Stati Uniti e Cina. Gli Stati Uniti mantengono il vantaggio nei modelli di frontiera, nelle infrastrutture cloud, nei semiconduttori avanzati e nella raccolta di venture capital, mentre la Cina punta su soluzioni più economiche, integrate nei processi produttivi e pensate per una diffusione su larga scala.La differenza riguarda sempre più il costo di utilizzo: i modelli statunitensi più avanzati possono arrivare a circa 25-29 dollari per milione di token, mentre alcune soluzioni cinesi operano a meno di 1 dollaro. Per le imprese la scelta diventa quindi strategica e può orientarsi verso massime prestazioni, maggiore efficienza economica oppure architetture ibride.L'Europa rischia invece una dipendenza tecnologica strutturale, penalizzata da frammentazione del mercato, minore disponibilità di capitali e assenza di grandi piattaforme continentali. La possibilità di recuperare terreno passa dallo sviluppo di modelli verticali nei settori in cui l'Europa conserva competenze industriali e dati di qualità, come manifattura, farmaceutica, automotive, energia, finanza e servizi professionali.Adozione dell'AI, capitale umano e governance aziendaleTestate: Repubblica Affari&Finanza / La StampaIl vero valore dell'Intelligenza Artificiale non deriva dal semplice acquisto di nuovi strumenti, ma dall'integrazione tra tecnologia, persone e processi. Il 77% delle imprese considera l'innovazione una fonte importante di vantaggio competitivo, ma soltanto l'11% dichiara di utilizzare già oggi strumenti di AI generativa.Il capitale umano resta il principale collo di bottiglia. Le carenze più rilevanti riguardano tecnologia, operations, marketing, finanza, competenze legali e gestione delle risorse umane. Senza investimenti nella formazione, l'AI rischia di trasformarsi in software poco utilizzato, duplicazione dei costi e mancata revisione dei processi aziendali.Le imprese italiane stanno aumentando gli investimenti, ma molte iniziative restano ancora sperimentali. La quota di aziende impegnate nella pianificazione strategica passa dal 21% al 26%, mentre quelle che hanno avviato i primi progetti implementativi crescono dal 13% al 22%. Rimane però limitata, intorno all'8%, la quota di organizzazioni che dichiara risultati economici già consolidati.AI Act, dati e proprietà intellettualeTestate: La Stampa / L'Economia del Corriere della SeraLa diffusione dei sistemi generativi rende sempre più importante la protezione dei dati aziendali e della proprietà intellettuale. Il rischio non deriva soltanto dall'algoritmo, ma dall'inserimento di informazioni riservate all'interno di piattaforme esterne, spesso in assenza di procedure formalizzate.Le aziende dovranno predisporre clausole contrattuali chiare sulla conservazione dei dati, sul loro eventuale riutilizzo per l'addestramento dei modelli e sulla responsabilità relativa agli output generati.Dal 2 agosto entrano inoltre in applicazione nuove disposizioni dell'AI Act europeo. Le imprese che utilizzano sistemi generativi dovranno dichiarare quando testi, immagini, audio o video sono prodotti artificialmente. Le sanzioni potranno raggiungere 15 milioni di euro o il 3% del fatturato annuo mondiale.Supercalcolo, data center ed energia digitaleTestate: Repubblica Affari&FinanzaL'Italia occupa la quarta posizione mondiale per capacità di supercalcolo e dispone di infrastrutture strategiche come Leonardo, installato presso il Tecnopolo di Bologna. La capacità italiana rappresenta circa il 17% della potenza europea, offrendo applicazioni nella farmaceutica, nella meteorologia, nell'energia, nella progettazione industriale e nell'Intelligenza Artificiale.Il mercato globale dell'High Performance Computing vale circa 58 miliardi di euro ed è destinato a crescere ulteriormente grazie all'espansione dell'AI. Lo sviluppo dipenderà però non soltanto dalla potenza di calcolo, ma anche dalla disponibilità di semiconduttori, energia, reti, sistemi di raffreddamento e competenze scientifiche.La corsa ai data center aumenta rapidamente la domanda energetica. Le emissioni di Microsoft risultano cresciute del 25%, mentre i consumi collegati alle infrastrutture di Google sono aumentati di circa 1,6 volte. Per evitare che regolamentazioni indiscriminate blocchino investimenti e occupazione, sarà necessario valutare i progetti sulla base dell'efficienza energetica, della provenienza dell'energia e delle ricadute industriali sul territorio.Cina, commercio globale e sovracapacità produttivaTestate: L'Economia del Corriere della SeraLa Cina continua a guadagnare quote sui mercati internazionali nonostante il rallentamento dell'economia interna. Nel secondo trimestre il PIL cresce del 4,3%, mentre le esportazioni aumentano del 6,7% e il surplus commerciale è proiettato oltre i 1.000 miliardi di dollari.Il principale squilibrio resta la debolezza dei consumi interni, che rappresentano circa il 40% del PIL, contro il 60-70% delle economie occidentali. La produzione industriale cresce del 5,3%, mentre le vendite al dettaglio avanzano soltanto dell'1,8%, spingendo Pechino a trasferire sui mercati esteri la capacità produttiva non assorbita internamente.La manifattura cinese compete ormai in settori avanzati come auto elettriche, batterie, pannelli solari, robotica, droni, elettronica e Intelligenza Artificiale. Per le imprese italiane la risposta non può basarsi soltanto sul prezzo, ma su design, personalizzazione, automazione, assistenza e qualità certificata.Energia, petrolio, gas e inflazioneTestate: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il Fatto QuotidianoLa crisi in Medio Oriente riporta al centro il rischio di un'interruzione nello Stretto di Hormuz. Un blocco prolungato avrebbe effetti immediati su petrolio, gas naturale liquefatto, trasporti, bollette e aspettative d'inflazione, comprimendo contemporaneamente il reddito delle famiglie e i margini delle imprese.Il prezzo del petrolio dipende sempre più dalle decisioni di Cina e Arabia Saudita. Riad dispone di una capacità produttiva inutilizzata stimata intorno a 4 milioni di barili al giorno, mentre Pechino importa circa il 40% del petrolio iraniano, incidendo sulla capacità di Teheran di continuare a esportare nonostante le sanzioni.Le bollette industriali italiane restano strutturalmente più elevate rispetto a quelle di Francia e Germania. Il gas pesa ancora per circa il 35% del mix elettrico nazionale, mentre le rinnovabili coprono mediamente il 33% della produzione. Reti, accumuli, nuova capacità rinnovabile e fonti programmabili restano quindi indispensabili per ridurre la vulnerabilità energetica del Paese.BCE, inflazione e mercati finanziariTestate: La Stampa / L'Economia del Corriere della SeraLa BCE si prepara a una pausa sui tassi, con il tasso sui depositi fermo al 2,25%. Lo scenario di base prevede stabilità, ma una nuova escalation geopolitica potrebbe riaccendere l'inflazione attraverso petrolio, gas e trasporti.La politica monetaria resta condizionata da due forze opposte: da una parte la debole crescita suggerisce una linea meno restrittiva, dall'altra un nuovo shock energetico potrebbe rinviare ulteriori tagli.La frammentazione della vigilanza finanziaria europea continua inoltre a ostacolare la nascita di grandi operatori continentali. Un mercato unico dei capitali più integrato potrebbe facilitare la raccolta di risorse per imprese, innovazione e infrastrutture.Risparmio, depositi bancari e potere d'acquistoTestate: Il Sole 24 OreSui conti correnti delle famiglie italiane restano depositati circa 1.162,8 miliardi di euro. Il valore nominale è rimasto sostanzialmente stabile negli ultimi quattro anni, ma l'inflazione ha eroso circa l'11,6% del valore reale delle somme.La liquidità è rimasta sui conti per prudenza, incertezza e scarsa educazione finanziaria, ma la stabilità nominale nasconde una perdita significativa di potere d'acquisto.Il conto corrente dovrebbe quindi conservare una funzione di liquidità operativa e riserva di emergenza, mentre le somme eccedenti potrebbero essere investite in strumenti coerenti con durata, rischio, fiscalità e obiettivi patrimoniali.Imprese, investimenti e Transizione 4.0-5.0Testate: L'Economia del Corriere della SeraLe misure Transizione 4.0 e 5.0 hanno sostenuto investimenti in automazione, software, macchinari ed efficienza energetica, attraverso incentivi per circa 16,5 miliardi di euro.Le imprese chiedono però maggiore continuità normativa. Le frequenti modifiche a crediti d'imposta, aliquote e procedure rendono più difficile programmare gli investimenti e rischiano di rallentare progetti industriali validi.La politica industriale dovrebbe quindi evolvere da misure episodiche a programmi pluriennali, collegando incentivi, formazione, credito, infrastrutture digitali, energia e aggregazione delle PMI.

De finansielle markeder starter ugen præget af stigende geopolitisk uro efter den seneste optrapning mellem USA og Iran. Olieprisen stiger, og Brent-olien handles over 90 dollar pr. tønde - det højeste niveau i mere end en måned. Aktiemarkederne stabiliserer sig dog efter sidste uges IT-drevne kursfald. Både europæiske og amerikanske aktiefutures peger i retningen af en flad start på ugens handel. Ud over situationen i Mellemøsten er denne uges hovedfokus ECB-mødet på torsdag, regnskab fra IT-giganten Alphabet (Google) onsdag samt globale PMI'er på fredag.

In this episode, Ricardo reflects on how many project managers have shifted from managing projects to merely reacting to urgent matters. Their daily routines are consumed by meetings, messages, emails, and immediate issues, creating a sense of heavy workload but little actual progress. According to him, managing projects means reducing uncertainty, whereas managing anxiety amounts to nothing more than reacting to chaos. Artificial intelligence has accelerated operational tasks but also raised expectations for instant responses, thereby intensifying anxiety within organizations. In this context, the project manager's role becomes even more critical: establishing priorities, shielding the team from false urgencies, creating predictability, making decisions, and instilling confidence. Listen to the podcast to learn more about!

Neste episódio, Ricardo reflete sobre como muitos gerentes de projetos deixaram de gerenciar projetos para apenas reagir a urgências. A rotina é consumida por reuniões, mensagens, e-mails e problemas imediatos, gerando a sensação de muito trabalho, mas pouco progresso real. Segundo ele, gerenciar projetos significa reduzir incertezas, enquanto gerenciar ansiedade significa apenas reagir ao caos. A inteligência artificial acelerou tarefas operacionais, mas também aumentou a expectativa por respostas instantâneas, intensificando a ansiedade nas organizações. Nesse contexto, o papel do gerente de projetos torna-se ainda mais importante: estabelecer prioridades, proteger a equipe de falsas urgências, criar previsibilidade, tomar decisões e transmitir confiança.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 15 Luglio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Economia internazionale, commercio globale e CinaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Italia OggiLa Cina continua a rafforzare il proprio ruolo nell'economia mondiale. L'export cresce del 27%, trainato dall'industria manifatturiera ad alto contenuto tecnologico, mentre le esportazioni di autoveicoli superano 1 milione di unità, consolidando la leadership del Paese sui mercati internazionali.Federico Rampini evidenzia come il modello economico cinese non sia fondato su una crescita temporanea, ma su una profonda trasformazione industriale basata su robotica, intelligenza artificiale, semiconduttori, automazione e controllo delle filiere strategiche. La sfida demografica viene affrontata attraverso un aumento della produttività.Per l'Europa cresce la pressione competitiva. La risposta passa da maggiori investimenti in innovazione, ricerca e autonomia industriale, mentre per l'Italia si rafforza l'opportunità di valorizzare il proprio sistema manifatturiero all'interno delle filiere europee ad alto valore aggiunto.Energia, materie prime e scenari geopoliticiTestate: Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / Il GiornaleLo Stretto di Hormuz torna al centro delle tensioni geopolitiche internazionali, mantenendo elevata l'attenzione sul traffico petrolifero mondiale e sulla sicurezza delle principali rotte commerciali.Il petrolio resta stabile intorno agli 85 dollari al barile, livello che continua a rappresentare un importante fattore di attenzione per inflazione, costi energetici e competitività industriale.Sul fronte interno emergono segnali incoraggianti: la crescente produzione di energia da fonti rinnovabili determina un aumento delle ore con prezzi elettrici prossimi allo zero, mentre nel Mezzogiorno il costo dell'energia risulta mediamente inferiore di circa il 10% rispetto ad altre aree del Paese.Innovazione, Intelligenza Artificiale e trasformazione digitaleTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Milano FinanzaL'intelligenza artificiale entra sempre più concretamente nel sistema universitario italiano. Gli atenei stanno rivedendo programmi, modalità di esame e percorsi formativi, privilegiando competenze critiche, interdisciplinari e capacità di problem solving.L'AGCOM richiama l'attenzione sul crescente peso delle Big Tech nel mercato pubblicitario digitale, sottolineando la necessità di preservare concorrenza e pluralismo informativo.Milano Finanza evidenzia inoltre come la cybersicurezza rappresenti uno dei principali pilastri della sovranità digitale europea e uno dei comparti destinati a ricevere maggiori investimenti nei prossimi anni. Per il sistema produttivo italiano l'AI rappresenta una concreta opportunità soprattutto per PMI, servizi professionali e automazione industriale.Industria italiana, Pubblica Amministrazione e competitivitàTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La StampaLa piattaforma nazionale dedicata alla formazione digitale della Pubblica Amministrazione coinvolge già 1,2 milioni di dipendenti, accelerando il processo di aggiornamento delle competenze nel settore pubblico.Il Governo conferma la volontà di imprimere una forte accelerazione alle riforme industriali entro la fine dell'anno, con particolare attenzione ai comparti automotive e manifatturiero.Proseguono inoltre le iniziative per rafforzare la tutela del Made in Italy contro contraffazione e frodi alimentari, confermando la volontà di proteggere uno degli asset più importanti dell'economia nazionale.Mercato immobiliare e patrimonio pubblicoTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Milano Finanza / Italia OggiIl patrimonio immobiliare detenuto da INPS e INAIL raggiunge un valore complessivo di circa 9 miliardi di euro, ma una quota significativa degli immobili risulta ancora inutilizzata.L'intero comparto immobiliare italiano richiede importanti investimenti in efficientamento energetico, sicurezza e riqualificazione degli edifici.Il mercato continua a premiare gli immobili sostenibili ed efficienti dal punto di vista energetico, facendo della riqualificazione uno dei principali driver di crescita per il settore nei prossimi anni.Mercati finanziari, banche e vigilanzaTestate: Repubblica / Milano Finanza / Il FoglioProsegue il percorso di nomina del nuovo Presidente della Consob, figura centrale per la vigilanza dei mercati finanziari italiani in una fase caratterizzata da importanti trasformazioni del sistema.Il consolidamento bancario continua a sostenere Piazza Affari, mantenendo elevato l'interesse degli investitori verso il comparto finanziario italiano.Parallelamente prosegue il confronto europeo su regolamentazione finanziaria, cybersicurezza e stabilità del sistema bancario.

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. If you are not ready to buy yet because mortgage rates feel high, your down payment needs more time, or the right house has not hit the market; the waiting period can still work in your favor. Don't let the home buying delay get you down. Instead, let it motivate you to work towards a more favorable purchase outcome.  Links: Listen to our past episode "What the Heck is Credit and Why is it Important?" to learn more about credit scores and reports Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.  Finding the right house can be challenging. For many buyers, it's a process that's hard to predict and in many cases, can take longer than expected. The good news is that the waiting period doesn't have to be wasted time. In fact, a few smart financial moves now can put you in a much stronger position when it's finally time to make that offer.  If you're one of the many people waiting to find the right house to call home, here are a few things you can do in the meantime to get your financial situation in tip top shape while waiting.  1. Build a Bigger Down Payment One of the most productive things you can do while waiting to buy is continue growing your down payment fund.  A larger down payment can reduce your monthly mortgage payment, lower the amount you'll need to borrow, and potentially help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). Even adding a few extra thousand dollars to your savings can make a meaningful difference over the life of the loan.  Consider setting up automatic transfers into a dedicated high-yield savings account, so your home fund continues to grow without requiring constant attention.  2. Improve Your Credit Score Your credit score plays a major role in calculating the mortgage rate you'll qualify for. Even a small improvement could save you thousands of dollars over the life of a loan. This waiting period is a great time to beef up that score for a better purchase position.  While you're waiting, focus on:  Paying bills on time Reducing existing credit card balances Avoiding new debt Reviewing your credit report for errors  Think of this period as an opportunity to strengthen your financial profile before mortgage lenders take a closer look. 3. Pay Down Existing Debt Lenders pay close attention to your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio when evaluating mortgage applications. The lower your monthly debt obligations, the more attractive you may appear as a borrower. Take some time to do the math and figure out what your debt-to-income ratio is. If it's uncomfortably high, make some changes.  Reducing debt can improve both your borrowing power and your overall financial flexibility once you become a homeowner.  For more information about credit scores in general, listen to one of our podcast episodes “What the Heck is Credit and Why is it Important” for an expert explanation on building and maintaining a good credit score. Check the link in the show notes. 4. Build an Emergency Fund It's easy to focus entirely on saving a down payment, but homeownership comes with unexpected expenses. Water heaters fail, roofs leak, and appliances don't always cooperate.  Before buying, aim to have an emergency fund that can cover several months of living expenses. Having cash reserves can help prevent a surprise repair from turning into a financial setback.  5. Research Your Future Neighborhoods The waiting period can also be a great time to become a more informed buyer. Doing preliminary work and research is always a good idea, because it helps you further solidify where you really want to live. This is important because it'll decrease the chance of buying a home so abruptly that you didn't get a chance to consider the location. So, you put in the offer, signed the contract and finally moved in only to realize you hate the neighborhood. These days things move quickly, so having a firm understanding on locations can help you rest easy knowing you're making the right move when you buy.  Spend time researching things like:  School districts Property taxes Commute times Local amenities Future development plans  Environmental factors – human-caused (like contaminated water or natural like flooding risk)  While researching, visit neighborhoods at different times of day and on weekends. What looks perfect during a Sunday afternoon visit may feel very different during a weekday rush hour.  6. Create a Realistic Homeownership Budget Many buyers focus primarily on the mortgage payment, but that's only part of the equation. Homeownership brings with it many added costs. Take some time, do research and develop a budget that will include not only the mortgage but added payments you can expect to make down the road including:  Property taxes Homeowners insurance Utilities Maintenance and repairs HOA fees, if applicable  A useful exercise is to "practice" the future payment. If your current rent is $1,800 and you expect a future housing payment of $2,500, try setting aside the extra $700 each month. This can help you test your budget while increasing your savings.  7. Avoid Major Financial Changes If you expect buying within the next year, it's wise to avoid actions that could complicate a future mortgage application.  Be wary and try to avoid changes that can disrupt your financials like:  Taking on large amounts of new debt  Financing expensive purchases Frequently opening new credit accounts Making large unexplained bank deposits  Consistency and stability often work in your favor during the mortgage approval process.   Waiting to buy a house can feel frustrating, especially when you're eager to move into a place of your own. But the time before your purchase can be one of the most valuable parts of the homebuying journey.  By strengthening your savings, improving your credit, reducing debt, and preparing for the realities of homeownership, you'll be positioning yourself for a smoother purchase and a stronger financial future. When the right house finally comes along, you'll be ready to move forward with confidence.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses the new PMP certification exam. He explains that updating the exam is a natural progression, as project management has evolved with artificial intelligence, agile methods, distributed teams, and new challenges. He highlights that the PMP exam has always prioritized the ability to analyze situations, make decisions, lead teams, and deliver value, rather than simply memorizing concepts. Ricardo also emphasizes that previous versions of the PMBOK® remain relevant because project management fundamentals stay the same, while only the context and tools evolve. His recommendation is to stay up to date without believing that all prior knowledge has lost its value. Listen to the podcast to learn more about!

What does it actually take to scale a property management business — and is doing it inside a franchise really faster than going it alone? In this episode of Beyond Rent, Steve Hart, CEO and co-founder of Property Management Inc. (PMI), joins the show to unpack what it looks like to build inside the property management franchise model, and why PMI has grown into the largest property management franchise network in the country. Steve and the host dig into the systems and support that let franchise owners skip the trial-and-error most independent operators face, why so many companies stall out somewhere between a few dozen and a few hundred doors, and how a proven playbook changes that growth trajectory. They also cover why mixed portfolios — residential, commercial, association, and short-term rental — are becoming the norm rather than the exception, and how skills transfer across those sectors more than people expect. The conversation closes with a candid look at industry fragmentation, what it really means to run a “premier” property management company, and the practical next steps for anyone considering the franchise route, whether they're just starting out or already running an established business. 

Neste episódio, Ricardo fala sobre o novo exame para a certificação PMP. Ele explica que a atualização do exame é natural, pois a gestão de projetos evoluiu com inteligência artificial, métodos ágeis, equipes distribuídas e novos desafios. Destaca que o exame PMP sempre valorizou a capacidade de analisar situações, tomar decisões, liderar equipes e gerar valor, e não apenas memorizar conceitos. Ricardo também reforça que as versões anteriores do PMBOK continuam relevantes, pois os fundamentos da gestão de projetos permanecem os mesmos, enquanto apenas o contexto e as ferramentas evoluem. Sua recomendação é manter-se atualizado, sem acreditar que todo o conhecimento anterior perdeu valor. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

Laurel Donnellan sits down with David Cumberbatch, newly appointed Managing Director of North America for the Project Management Institute (PMI), for a wide-ranging conversation on education, career readiness, and leadership in a rapidly changing world of work.David traces his path from a childhood in Trinidad and Tobago — shaped by a grandfather who ran the country's largest orphanage — through Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, to formative years at Procter & Gamble and Microsoft, and now to leading PMI's 800,000-member global community. Along the way, he and Laurel compare the British and American education systems, unpack why generation beta may hold 18 to 30 jobs across 7 to 10 career chapters, and discuss the delicate balance of introducing technology and AI to young learners.The conversation turns to PMI's own AI transformation — including its new CPM AI credential, the PMI Infinity AI companion platform, and an updated PMP exam that now includes AI and sustainability content. David makes the case that durable "power skills" like critical thinking and interpersonal communication matter more, not less, as AI reshapes project work, and shares how PMI is building accessible pathways (like the CAPM certification) for people without a four-year degree to reach six-figure project management careers.The episode closes with David's reflections on leadership: the foundational role of safety and trust in lasting relationships, the lesson he carried from PNG's promotion-from-within culture versus Microsoft's "up or out" model, and his belief that compassionate leadership and competitive excellence aren't in tension — they're the same thing.Guest BioDavid Cumberbatch is the Managing Director of North America for the Project Management Institute (PMI), overseeing the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. Raised in Trinidad and Tobago, David earned a double honors degree in computer science and economics from the University of Kent at Canterbury, then studied at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. His career spans Procter & Gamble, Microsoft, the Gates Foundation, and ACT, with the last 20 years focused on the intersection of education, technology, and workforce readiness.Resources & Links Mentioned PMI website: pmi.org PMI job board (for certified members) PMI Infinity (PMI's AI companion platform) CPM AI Certification and CAPM/PMP certification pathways PM Ready certificate (high school level) University of Pennsylvania high school internship training program Crimson Global Academy (referenced re: UK/US K-12 comparison — see Laurel's earlier interview) Opportunity@Work (referenced re: non-degree career pathways) Resources & Links Mentioned PMI website: pmi.org PMI job board (for certified members) PMI Infinity (PMI's AI companion platform) CPM AI Certification and CAPM/PMP certification pathways PM Ready certificate (high school level) University of Pennsylvania high school internship training program Crimson Global Academy (referenced re: UK/US K-12 comparison — see Laurel's earlier interview) Opportunity@Work (referenced re: non-degree career pathways

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Warm-Up - JOBS Number - Odd Move - Saylor is selling Bitcoin! - VEGGIE ALERT! - US RESUMES POWERFUL STRIKES ON IRAN (Is this still a ceasefire?) Markets - Starting off July on a Wobble - SpaceX added to NAZ100 - Oil prices drifting lower - Gas at the pump? - Oracle - Canary? World Cup? - USA is out... (Bad goalie move last night) IRAN - Looks like war is back on - at least for tonight - Oil rises about 3% on the news - US revokes Iran's ability to sell oil around the world - Markets don't seem overly concerned - VIX still low at 16 - Odds that this will be more than a quick in and out? --- Could it be that Iran was waiting until after the Funeral? JOBS COOL, FED STILL HOT - June payrolls came in at +57,000, well under the +110,000 estimate. - April and May were revised down by a combined 74,000 jobs. - Unemployment slipped to 4.2%, but not for the best reason: the labor force shrank by 720,000 people. - Labor-force participation fell to 61.5%, the lowest in more than five years. - Leisure and hospitality lost 61,000 jobs, a notable hit to the consumer-service economy. - Average hourly earnings rose $0.13 in June. - Fed setup: weaker hiring argues for patience, but inflation is still above target, so the market is back to parsing every Fed sentence. - - Fed Funds Futures Now only ONE Raise by Year-End DOW RECORD, NASDAQ WOBBLE - The Dow closed at a record 52,900.07 after the soft jobs report cooled near-term rate-hike fear. - S&P 500 finished roughly flat. - Nasdaq fell about 0.8% as chip stocks dragged the tape lower. - The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped more than 5% on July 2. - Apple rose nearly 5% on iPhone launch optimism. - Nvidia and other AI/chip names stayed volatile after a huge first-half run. - Goldman client data showed hedge funds dumped tech hardware and semiconductor exposure for a fourth straight week. - The issue is not "AI is dead"; the issue is when all the AI capex turns into visible returns. TESLA BEATS DELIVERIES, STOCK STILL GETS HIT - Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in Q2, a record quarter and above Wall Street expectations. - Production was 451,758 vehicles. - Model 3/Y made up 467,762 deliveries. - Other models were only 12,364. - Energy storage deployments were 13.5 GWh. - Shares fell about 7.5% after the report, the worst one-day drop in roughly a year. - Pressure points: margin worries, price cuts, demand sustainability, and the market questioning whether the EV story is enough at a very rich valuation. - As of Monday afternoon, TSLA was around $420 with a market cap near $1.49 trillion and a trailing P/E around 385. MORE MUSK - TESLA PUTS AI ON A BUDGET - Tesla reportedly capped employee spending on third-party AI tools at $200 per week starting July 6. - Grok was reportedly exempt from the cap. - Setup: Tesla wants employees using AI, but not running up unlimited outside-token bills. - Cost-control angle: AI is becoming a normal operating expense, not a science project. - Funny part: even at Tesla, the AI bill apparently needs a limiter. NVIDIA SERVER DELAY NOISE - Nvidia shares held up despite reports of delays tied to its next AI server architecture. - SemiAnalysis reportedly said Nvidia's Kyber architecture could slip by up to 12 months into 2028. - Nvidia pushed back and said its development roadmap is unchanged. - Mizuho called the delay report "noise" and said it was not a material issue for the stock. - NOTE:  Story is still report-driven, not company-confirmed. ORACLE - CANARY? - Oracle's stock fell 19% this week, the steepest drop since August 2001, the depths of the dot-com bust. - The company's capital expenditures surged 162% in the latest fiscal year, with almost $24 billion in negative free cash flow and $130 billion in debt. - Co-founder Larry Ellison has fallen behind the Google co-founders, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell on the list of the world's richest people. - After the company reached a peak market cap of $900 billion in September, on enthusiasm about Oracle's AI customers, the stock has lost about 55% of its value. - The crux of the problem is that for Oracle to fulfill its AI infrastructure commitment, primarily to OpenAI, it's having to raise record amounts of debt, creating balance sheet risk while focusing on lower-margin offerings. SPACEX ENTERS THE INDEX MACHINE - SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq-100 on Tuesday after its recent IPO. - The company's valuation is around $2.1 trillion. - Its Nasdaq-100 weight will initially be under 1% because of limited public float. - Index-tracking funds tied to the Nasdaq-100 will need exposure, creating automatic demand. - Key issue: big valuation, small float, forced index buying. - Watch the lockup calendar: index inclusion can create near-term demand, but employee and insider selling later can change the supply picture. - Podcast angle: retail gets "SpaceX exposure" through QQQ, but not necessarily much exposure at first. STRATEGY SELLS BITCOIN TO PAY THE BILLS - Strategy sold 3,588 bitcoin last week for about $216 million. - Proceeds are being used for preferred-stock dividends and dollar reserves. - The company still holds 843,775 bitcoin, valued around $52 billion. - Q2 included an $8.32 billion paper loss tied to bitcoin weakness. - The company's average bitcoin purchase price is around $75,476. - Recent sale prices were around $59,000 to $61,000. - Funny part: the former "never sell" bitcoin treasury poster child is now selling bitcoin to service the capital structure. - Watch for copycats: any company that copied the bitcoin-treasury model may face the same liquidity math if crypto stays weak. MICROSOFT CUTS AGAIN - Microsoft said it will cut about 4,800 jobs. - Shares slipped nearly 1%. - Job cuts landed while investors are still rewarding AI spending. - The message? spend heavy on AI, cut elsewhere. --- Yes, AI is killing jobs... SERVICES HOLD AT 54 - ISM non-manufacturing PMI came in at 54.0. - Result matched expectations. - Reading above 50 means services activity is still expanding. - Market took it as firm enough for growth, not hot enough to force an immediate Fed move. EARNINGS SEASON STARTER - Delta and PepsiCo report this week. - Levi Strauss also reports this week. - Delta is the read on travel, premium demand, fuel, and consumer resilience. - PepsiCo is the read on snack pricing, volume, and lower-income consumer pressure. - Q2 earnings bar is high after the market's strong second-quarter rally. OIL BACK TO PRE-IRAN WAR LEVELS - Brent settled around $71.99. - WTI settled around $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another output-target increase for August, adding 188,000 barrels per day. - Since April, planned increases add up to nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Crude exports through the Strait of Hormuz are recovering, taking some geopolitical premium out of the market. - Saudi Arabia cut official selling prices, another sign the market is shifting from shortage panic to buyer resistance. - Good for headline inflation if it sticks; bad for energy bulls who were pricing war-premium oil. SPR DRAWDOWN - U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.2 million barrels. - SPR level is now 319.5 million barrels. - That is the lowest level since April 1983. - Drawdown comes while oil prices are easing and OPEC+ is adding supply. - Energy setup: lower crude helps inflation, but reserve levels are historically thin. MORE OIL - CHINA BUYS THE DIP - China stepped up Middle East oil purchases as prices fell. - Saudi Arabia cut export prices to Asia to a six-year low. - Brent settled at $71.99. - WTI settled at $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another August production increase of 188,000 barrels per day. - Planned OPEC+ supply increases since April now total nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Lower oil supports disinflation but raises questions about global demand.

CHINA NOT MESSING AROUND - A Chinese court handed a rare death sentence to a former official on corruption charges, in a severe punishment underscoring the intensity of President Xi Jinping's anti-graft crackdown. - Yang Youlin, a former vice director of an economic zone in the eastern city of Nanjing, was sentenced to death on Monday for taking more than 2.21 billion yuan ($325 million) of bribes between 2013 and 2023, according to the state broadcaster China Central Television. - Yang was found guilty also of embezzlement, abuse of power and money laundering. His crimes were “exceptionally grave” and caused massive losses, warranting the capital sentence, CCTV reported, citing the Changzhou Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu province. DRONES - Dronemaker AeroVironment reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom lines. - The company's funded backlog of $1.2 billion was up substantially over last year, but grew only slightly from the $1.1 billion last quarter. - Autonomous systems were a strong point with revenue of $492 million that beat the $402 million StreetAccount expectation.   Love the Show?

「そうだったのかブロックチェーン」Ep.9 このポッドキャスト番組では、日銀・金融庁で銀行監督の経歴をもち、現在は周南公立大学情報科学部でブロックチェーンについての教鞭をとる内田善彦と、グルメアプリのファウンダーとして、Web2サービスにブロックチェーンを掛け合わせWeb3事業を構築したキャリアを持つ酒井勇也、そしてクリプト専門メディア「あたらしい経済」副編集長の大津賀新也の３人が、ブロックチェーンについて知っておべきことを紹介します。 第9回目となる今回は、前回に引き続き、トークンの「換金可能性」について議論しました。 前回は、一物一価や無裁定といった考え方を手がかりに、トークンの価値と価格の違いを整理しました。今回はそこに「時間」の概念を加え、日本円における金利や債券の仕組みから、今日の1円と将来の1円がどのようにつながっているのかを考えました。 日本円では「今日の1円」と「明日の1円」が金利でつながっており、その時間の概念を表現するのが債券や株式といった有価証券です。債券は満期と金利が決まっているのに対し、株式には満期がなく、価値の源泉は配当や残余財産の分配、そして議決権にあると整理しました。 そのうえで注目したのが、日本の株式会社およそ300万社のうち上場企業はわずか0.1%で、残る99%を占める「上場する気のない」非上場株式の存在です。その株式は無裁定・一物一価の世界とは無縁で、社長や親戚、取引先が「つながり」や「応援」として保有しており、値段はつかないが1枚2枚とは数えられ、会社ごとに解釈も異なる。この非上場株式こそトークンに酷似しているのではないか、という視点から考えていきました。 なお第8回から第11回では、貨幣とトークンの関係や貨幣そのものを突き詰めて考えた先にある「トークンの本質」に迫ります。 次回、第10回目は2026年7月21日に配信予定です。 【出演者】 ・内田善彦 1994～2023年日本銀行。金融研究所・企画役、金融機構局・企画役（グループ長）等。金融機関のリスク管理・経営管理に関して様々な角度から考察を加える。この間、金融庁、大阪大学、東京大学でも勤務。2023年6月〜11月株式会社クエストリー取締役、2024年4月〜12月カシェイ取締役として、web3スタートアップに経営者として参画。現在は、周南公立大学情報科学部教授（2023年6月から）として教鞭を執る傍ら、株式会社サイバーリンクス社外取締役（2024年3月から）としてデジタルIDや電子署名関連のビジネス等を推進するほか、株式会社ゆいづむ代表取締役（2025年10月から）としてブロックチェーン活用に関連するコンサルティングを行う。 Xアカウント：x.com/uchida_tomato ・酒井勇也 学生時代に株式会社SARAHを共同創業。日本最大級のメニュー特化型グルメアプリ「SARAH」に加え、大手食品メーカー向けの外食ビッグデータサービス「FoodDataBank」を構築した。COOとして累計10億円の資金調達やM&A、PMIを主導。2019年より、SARAHのWeb3化を主導。食・ヘルスケアのデータ管理に特化したレイヤー1独自ブロックチェーン「ONIGIRI Chain」の開発や、トークンエコノミーを構築した。2025年の代表取締役退任を経て独立。現在は、実需を伴うブロックチェーン活用やWeb3事業の社会実装に特化したコンサルティングを展開している。 Xアカウント：x.com/skyuya03 聞き手：あたらしい経済 副編集長 大津賀 新也 そうだったのかブロックチェーン公式Xはこちら：x.com/soublock そうだったのかブロックチェーン公式サイト：https://soublock.com/

Are we heading into economic expansion or just holding steady? Steve Miller breaks down the latest ISM Manufacturing and Services PMI reports — what the numbers really mean for jobs, prices, and supply chains going into the rest of 2026. All four PMI subindexes are now above 50, signaling growth. Employment jumped over three points. The Prices Index eased, hinting inflation pressure may be cooling. But supply chains are still tight in specific areas — especially data center components and petroleum products — and geopolitical events keep adding uncertainty. In this episode, Steve covers: – How to actually read a PMI report (and what the subindexes tell you) – Why employment numbers jumped – Where supply chains are still under pressure – What's driving prices up or down right now – Where economists expect growth to head next – Which industries offer the strongest job opportunities today Whether you're in manufacturing, supply chain, or just trying to make sense of what's happening with jobs and prices, this episode gives you a clear, no-jargon read on where the economy stands right now.

In this podcast, Ricardo argues that many projects are not actually late; instead, their schedules were unrealistic from the beginning. He explains that organizations often approve aggressive timelines to satisfy executives, budgets, or customer expectations, only to blame the project team when those plans fail. Ricardo emphasizes that early estimates are always surrounded by uncertainty, making unrealistic forecasts a planning problem rather than an execution issue. While artificial intelligence can quickly generate detailed schedules, its results are only as reliable as the assumptions behind them. Therefore, project managers must challenge deadlines and question key assumptions before approval. Effective planning requires honesty about risks, constraints, capacity, and uncertainty, because expectations alone do not deliver projects—people executing realistic plans do.

Neste podcast, Ricardo questiona uma crença comum no gerenciamento de projetos: nem todo projeto está atrasado; muitas vezes, o cronograma era inviável desde o início. Ele explica que organizações frequentemente aprovam prazos irreais para atender expectativas, orçamentos ou pressões políticas, transferindo depois a responsabilidade para a equipe. Ricardo destaca que previsões iniciais sempre envolvem incertezas e que culpar a execução por falhas de planejamento é um erro. Embora a inteligência artificial ajude a criar cronogramas, ela depende de premissas realistas. Por isso, o gerente de projetos deve desafiar prazos e questionar hipóteses antes da aprovação. Planejar exige honestidade sobre riscos, restrições, capacidade e incertezas, pois expectativas não entregam projetos; pessoas, trabalhando com planos realistas, sim.

Play audio-only episode | Play on YouTube | Play on Spotify Episode Summary The seven performance domains from the PMBOK Guide 8th edition form the backbone of how project work actually happens, and they are woven into nearly every situational question on the PMP exam. The catch is that the exam never labels them. Cornelius Fichtner, PMP, takes you through all seven domains: Governance, Scope, Schedule, Finance, Stakeholders, Resources, and Risk. For each domain, he presents a sample question from The PM Exam Simulator, works through the answer choices, and then hands you a structured takeaway built around three skills: how to recognize the domain in a scenario, how to evaluate your answer options, and how to eliminate the traps. Along the way you work through fourteen exam-style questions, including drag and drop matching, choose-multiple formats, and classic four-option scenarios covering everything from negative float and crashing to contingency reserves and psychological safety.

Cet épisode est coproduit avec le département de l'Essonne qui a fait de la maîtrise du langage sa grande cause pour l'année 2026. Je les remercie chaleureusement pour leur soutien.« Ce que vous allez nommer à votre bébé va devenir pour lui important. »Comment l'exposition au langage dès les premiers jours de vie influe-t-elle sur le destin d'un enfant ? Quels leviers concrets existent pour agir face à l'explosion des inégalités langagières ?Dans cet épisode je reçois Ghislaine Dehaene, pédiatre et neuroscientifique, directrice de l'équipe de neuro-imagerie du développement au CNRS, ainsi que François Durovray, président du Conseil départemental de l'Essonne.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 2 Luglio 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Energia, bollette e sicurezza degli approvvigionamentiTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Sole 24 Ore / Repubblica / Il GiornaleL'energia si conferma il principale tema economico della giornata. I dati ARERA mostrano come famiglie e imprese italiane continuino a sostenere costi dell'elettricità superiori alla media europea, principalmente a causa della forte dipendenza del sistema nazionale dal gas naturale.Per le imprese il divario competitivo resta significativo: il prezzo dell'energia elettrica risulta superiore del 24,1% rispetto alla media dell'Eurozona, mentre le famiglie pagano bollette mediamente più alte del 13%. Parallelamente prosegue la trasformazione del mix energetico italiano, con una forte crescita del fotovoltaico, ma anche criticità legate alla rete idrica e alla produzione da fonti tradizionali.Sul piano geopolitico permane l'incertezza nello Stretto di Hormuz. Il settore logistico guarda con preoccupazione all'ipotesi di introdurre pedaggi per il transito marittimo, mentre l'Italia accelera la diversificazione energetica aumentando le importazioni di GNL dagli Stati Uniti, riducendo gradualmente la dipendenza dalle aree più instabili.Immobiliare, Piano Casa e politiche abitativeTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore / Avvenire / Italia OggiIl Piano Casa diventa legge e inaugura uno dei più importanti programmi nazionali dedicati all'edilizia residenziale degli ultimi anni. L'obiettivo è aumentare l'offerta di abitazioni accessibili attraverso un mix di investimenti pubblici e privati.Il piano prevede investimenti complessivi per 10 miliardi di euro in dieci anni, la realizzazione di 100.000 nuovi alloggi, il recupero di migliaia di abitazioni popolari inutilizzate e la riqualificazione di oltre 61.000 immobili pubblici. Gli incentivi destinati agli operatori privati puntano ad accelerare la realizzazione di edilizia convenzionata con canoni significativamente inferiori ai prezzi di mercato.Il fabbisogno abitativo rimane comunque elevato, con oltre 650.000 richieste di edilizia popolare ancora inevase. Il coinvolgimento dei capitali privati rappresenta il principale elemento di novità del nuovo modello.Conti pubblici, fisco e finanza dello StatoTestate: MF / Corriere della Sera / La NotiziaI conti pubblici mostrano segnali di progressivo miglioramento. Nel primo trimestre del 2026 il rapporto deficit/PIL scende al 7,8%, confermando il percorso di riequilibrio dei conti dello Stato.Rimane tuttavia aperto il tema dell'evasione fiscale. Secondo Carlo Cottarelli, il fenomeno continua a sottrarre circa 110 miliardi di euro all'anno alle finanze pubbliche, con livelli particolarmente elevati tra alcune categorie di lavoratori autonomi.La pressione fiscale continua a incidere sul potere d'acquisto delle famiglie, mentre il miglioramento dei conti pubblici offre un segnale positivo sulla sostenibilità della finanza statale senza compromettere la crescita economica.Imprese, export e competitivitàTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La Stampa / AvvenireLo scenario internazionale diventa più complesso per le imprese italiane. Le tensioni commerciali con gli Stati Uniti iniziano a produrre effetti sull'export, mentre alcuni comparti, come quello vitivinicolo, ridimensionano la produzione per adattarsi alla domanda internazionale.Il Governo individua come priorità strategiche per la competitività nazionale energia, difesa e cybersicurezza, mentre cresce l'attenzione verso il rafforzamento del capitale umano come principale leva di sviluppo.L'intelligenza artificiale viene sempre più considerata uno strumento indispensabile per aumentare produttività e innovazione, soprattutto nelle piccole e medie imprese italiane.Tecnologia, intelligenza artificiale e digitaleTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / MFLa trasformazione digitale continua ad assumere un ruolo centrale nella crescita economica. Il ritardo nell'adozione dell'intelligenza artificiale da parte delle PMI italiane spinge verso la definizione di un nuovo piano nazionale dedicato alla diffusione delle tecnologie digitali.Negli Stati Uniti cresce il confronto tra editori e piattaforme di intelligenza artificiale sul tema del copyright, mentre in Europa si rafforza il dibattito sulla necessità di costruire infrastrutture digitali autonome e ridurre la dipendenza tecnologica dai grandi operatori internazionali.L'IA non viene più vista soltanto come innovazione tecnologica, ma come uno dei principali fattori di competitività economica dei prossimi anni.Geopolitica, mercati e rischi globaliTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / Il Sole 24 OreLe tensioni geopolitiche continuano a rappresentare il principale elemento di incertezza per i mercati internazionali. Lo Stretto di Hormuz resta uno dei punti più sensibili per il commercio mondiale e per la stabilità dei prezzi energetici.Parallelamente prosegue il confronto commerciale tra Stati Uniti, Europa e Cina, mentre restano aperte le ipotesi di nuove misure protezionistiche americane che potrebbero influenzare gli scambi internazionali.Un elemento positivo arriva dalla Federal Reserve, che ribadisce la propria indipendenza nelle decisioni di politica monetaria, contribuendo a rafforzare la fiducia degli investitori e la stabilità dei mercati finanziari.

En Capital Intereconomía seguimos la apertura del Ibex 35 y del resto de las bolsas europeas en una jornada marcada por las referencias macroeconómicas y las perspectivas para los mercados en la segunda mitad del año. En el análisis de mercados hablamos con David Cortina, responsable de Renta Variable de Santander Private Banking, para valorar la evolución de las bolsas europeas y el impacto de los últimos datos económicos sobre las expectativas de los inversores. Analizamos la contracción de la actividad manufacturera en España, cuyo índice PMI cae hasta los 49,7 puntos en junio, frente a los 51,2 registrados el mes anterior, situándose por debajo del umbral que separa el crecimiento de la contracción. Además, repasamos la estrategia de inversión para la segunda mitad del año, con especial atención a las perspectivas para la renta variable, los principales riesgos macroeconómicos y las oportunidades que pueden surgir en un entorno marcado por la evolución de los tipos de interés, la inflación y el crecimiento económico. Terminamos con el Consultorio de Bolsa junto a Miguel Méndez, analista independiente, que responde a las dudas de los oyentes y analiza los valores más destacados de la sesión.

Two single-family houses on one lot in Denver for $610,000. A 4-bedroom front house and a 5-bedroom back house, each with separate entrances, separate utilities, and two addresses. As a result, you get the kind of house hack property that pops up maybe one to five times a year on the MLS. In this episode, we break down Jeff White’s 10th house hack, which closed in early May. First, Chris Lopez sits down with Jeff and Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans to unpack the numbers, the loan structure, and the strategy stack behind the deal. To start, Jeff and his wife Suleyka began their house hack journey in 2017 with a single fourplex, replacing a $1,500 monthly mortgage payment with $0. Nine years later, they’re hitting double digits. Meanwhile, Troy structured the financing at 5.625 percent with $24,500 in seller credits. Next, Jeff walks through how he found the deal, why the listing agent picked his offer over a higher one, and the strategy stack he ran before going under contract. For example, market rents pencil at $5,800 a month. By comparison, rent by room hits $7,200. Then, Section 8 lands at $6,900. Ultimately, the sober living triple net play Jeff landed on pays $3,600 per house with the operator covering all utilities on a 5-year lease. In This Episode We Cover: Why two houses on one lot is essentially a 2-for-1 house hack at $300K per single-family equivalent How a daily 10-minute search routine across 7 saved searches caught this house hack deal on day one The $24,500 seller credit that bought down the rate and covered the PMI buyout Why positive leverage is back in Denver with cap rates above interest rates House hack year 2 numbers – $2,787 monthly cash flow and 41% cash on cash Investor scenario at 25% down – $3,011 monthly cash flow and 11% cap rate Why this is the best Denver buying window since 2017 for house hackers and investors The $85K discount one client just got by making a “disrespectful” offer If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines for Denver to make sense again, this house hack breakdown shows what’s actually getting done in 2026.

I sat down with longtime friend and fellow PMI volunteer Mattias Georgson Petrén to get schooled on Half Double, the Danish hybrid framework that has been around for over ten years but I only just learned about. Mattias walks through where it came from (a frustrated group of practitioners, industrial funding, and research backing from Aarhus University), what it promises — half the time double the impact — and how it blends Agile cadence with the discipline of traditional, stage-based product management. We get into co-location, the 50% staffing rule, and why he treats Half Double as a lens layered on top of existing frameworks rather than a replacement for any of them. We close out with a conversation about where project managers fit into an AI-driven future that left me probably less worried than I've been about this in months. Key Themes - How Dave and Mattias met at a PMI chapter event in Malta back in 2008, and how that network led to real client work together - Mattias's path from engineering physics PhD to "accidental" project manager - The early days of Agile inside PMI circles, and the influence of conferences like Øredev - What Half Double actually is: a hybrid method built on impact, flow, and leadership - The origin story — Danish practitioners, an industrial fund, and Aarhus University research - Why Half Double performs best on complex projects, not predictable, fully-plannable ones - Co-location, the 50% staffing rule, and designing cadence into distributed teams - Why Mattias treats Half Double as a set of lenses layered on top of an existing framework (PMI, PRINCE2, Scrum) rather than a replacement for one - The "chasing tasks vs. chasing impact" trap that both traditional and Agile PMs fall into - Where project managers fit in an AI-driven future — and why Mattias isn't worried Chapters 00:00 The Value of Networking in Project Management 02:47 Mattias Petrén's Journey into Project Management 05:11 The Evolution of Agile in Project Management 07:47 Introduction to Half Double Methodology 10:47 Understanding the Half Double Framework 13:15 Hybrid Approaches in Project Management 16:03 Leadership and Co-location in Half Double 18:47 Embracing Chaos in Project Management 19:51 The Role of Project Owners 21:41 Understanding Project Impact and Stakeholder Management 23:44 Integrating Agile with Traditional Project Management 26:01 The Half Double Methodology Explained 29:23 The Future of Project Management in an AI-Driven World Links from the Podcast Half Double Institute - https://halfdoubleinstitute.org PMI Agile 2026 https://agilealliance.org/pmi-agile-2026/ Dave and John Tanner's session at Agile 2026 - "When AI Starts Doing Your Job: Surviving the PM Identity Crisis" https://tinyurl.com/23jc8uhs Contact Mattias LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattiasgeorgsonpetren/ Email - mattias@georgson.com

Las bolsas comienzan la semana pendientes de la evolución del alto el fuego entre Estados Unidos e Irán, después del intercambio de ataques durante el fin de semana que ha vuelto a elevar la tensión y ha impulsado el precio del petróleo. Los mercados también miran a Sintra, donde arranca el encuentro anual de bancos centrales y que contará con la participación de Christine Lagarde y Kevin Warsh, en plena atención sobre el futuro de los tipos de interés. Además, Corea del Sur anuncia una mega inversión en inteligencia artificial impulsada por el Gobierno junto a gigantes tecnológicos como Samsung y SK Hynix, en una nueva carrera por liderar el desarrollo de la IA. Y en la agenda económica de la semana, la gran cita será el informe de empleo de Estados Unidos que conoceremos el jueves, ya que Wall Street permanecerá cerrado el viernes por festivo. También se publicará el IPC preliminar de junio de la eurozona, datos de inflación de Alemania, Italia y Francia, el PIB final del primer trimestre de Reino Unido, los PMI manufactureros de junio, la encuesta JOLTS y la confianza del consumidor del Conference Board en EEUU. En el plano empresarial, presentarán resultados compañías como Nike, General Mills, Constellation Brands y Prosus. En la tertulia de mercados de Capital Intereconomía, Pilar García-Germán, directora de ventas de Fidelity International; Isabel de Liniers, jefa de ventas para España de DWS; Pilar Vila, Sales Manager en Schroders; e Irene López, Sales Director de Flossbach Von Storch analizan si la renta variable tecnológica todavía tiene recorrido o si las valoraciones empiezan a acercarse a niveles de burbuja; qué puede ocurrir con los tipos de interés en Estados Unidos y qué están anticipando los bonos tanto en los tramos largos como en los cortos; y cómo afecta la fortaleza del dólar a las carteras con exposición a EEUU.

In this episode, Ricardo challenges whether traditional two-week Agile sprints still make sense in an era where AI agents can develop, test, review, and improve software in minutes. While Agile principles such as collaboration, adaptability, and customer focus remain essential, their execution may need to evolve. As AI dramatically accelerates software development, the main bottleneck shifts from execution to human decision-making, including prioritization, validation, quality assurance, and risk management. This transformation questions the relevance of fixed sprints, story points, and traditional Agile ceremonies. Ricardo suggests that project managers will increasingly orchestrate AI-driven workflows instead of managing tasks, arguing that human judgment will remain the key competitive advantage in teams where people and AI agents work together. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo questiona se os tradicionais sprints de duas semanas ainda fazem sentido em um cenário em que agentes de inteligência artificial desenvolvem, testam e corrigem software em minutos. Embora os princípios do Agile permaneçam essenciais, sua execução pode precisar ser reinventada. Com a IA acelerando a implementação, o principal desafio deixa de ser a execução e passa a ser a tomada de decisões, como definir prioridades, validar resultados, garantir qualidade e gerenciar riscos. Nesse novo modelo de desenvolvimento contínuo, o gerente de projetos deixa de controlar tarefas e passa a orquestrar agentes e fluxos de trabalho. O julgamento humano continua sendo o principal diferencial para gerar valor. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫周期涛动，来自三石而立orz。有色今年调整得比较深。云铝股份下跌24%、紫金矿业下跌20%、藏格下跌12%、神火股份下跌13%、江铜下跌14%，以上个股，我都或长或短或多或少的持有过，有的现在还持有着，心情既平静又复杂。心情平静的是，因为周期就是这样的，历史不会重复，但总是押同一个韵脚。从过往的经验看：有色里的金银，因其货币锚定物的角色，其涨跌与利率高度相关，因其本身不产生利息，故当货币超发、实际利率降低的时候，持有金银的机会成本降低、保值效果凸显，形成涨势；而一旦实际利率上升，持有的机会成本就增高，资金也会从贵金属市场流出，流向美元、美债等生息资产。有研究表明，黄金与美国实际利率的相关性为-45.9%，非常显著的负相关关系了。有色里的铜铝等工业金属，则更为复杂。它们和利率有一定相关关系，但相关关系并不显著，这也很好理解，因为持有铜铝相关品种的，并不是以保值为目的，持有而损失的利息并非影响决策的主要因素。历史上看，铜的价格与经济发展有相关性，PMI每上升1%、铜价上升约1.8%。当降息刺激经济，市场会预期未来制造业和基建回暖，从而提升对铜铝等工业金属的需求预期。铝同样对利率不敏感，其价格更多由供需基本面决定，尤其是在我国，因为产能天花板的约束，价格韧性更加突出。至于小金属，其走势更多受未来产业趋势（如新能源、AI等）的预期影响，即更看新需求。2026年，当我们身处美联储议息按兵不动甚至多有加息预期、宏观经济的起势不明显的情况下，有色的表现很符合周期的波动规律。心情复杂的是，预想中的这次不一样，目前看来还是“次次都一样”。写过比较多关于电解铝的讨论，理想中走过降息的业绩拔高阶段，最后能凭其增厚的分红属性走向红利，目前看其实基本面是符合预期的；但今年的结构化市场，再次告诉你，还是先走周期的路子，以后再说以后。希望这个“以后”，能和预想中的以后拟合。标题借鉴了周金涛老师的“涛动周期”，他的文章对建立大类资产的周期框架很有帮助。浪花只开一时，但比千年石，并无甚不同。

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 28 Giugno 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Risiko bancario, MPS e consolidamento del settoreTestate: Corriere della Sera / La Stampa / Il GiornaleIl consolidamento del sistema bancario italiano entra nella fase operativa. Intesa Sanpaolo ha depositato alla Consob il prospetto dell'OPAS su MPS, un'operazione dal valore complessivo di 30,6 miliardi di euro che punta a creare uno dei maggiori gruppi bancari europei, con un utile netto superiore ai 16 miliardi di euro entro il 2029. L'operazione coinvolge anche Mediobanca, Generali e la rete di Monte dei Paschi.Il percorso autorizzativo sarà particolarmente articolato: serviranno i via libera di BCE, Banca d'Italia, IVASS, Antitrust, AGCOM e delle autorità di circa 40 Paesi. Parallelamente il MEF valuta la cessione della quota residua del 4,86% in MPS, mentre Unipol prepara un aumento di capitale da 2,5 miliardi per sostenere l'integrazione con Bper.KPI principali: OPAS Intesa 30,6 mld €, utile target 16 mld € al 2029, assemblea ISP 10 settembre, offerta prevista tra ottobre e novembre, quota MEF 4,86%, aumento capitale Unipol 2,5 mld €.PNRR, investimenti pubblici e finanza dello StatoTestate:La Stampa / Corriere della SeraIl 30 giugno segna la conclusione formale del PNRR. L'Italia ha dichiarato una spesa di 113,5 miliardi sui 194,4 miliardi complessivamente assegnati dall'Unione Europea. La Corte dei Conti evidenzia un avanzamento finanziario del 58%, mentre i pagamenti effettivi si fermano al 48,5%.Rimane forte il divario territoriale: Veneto e regioni del Nord mostrano livelli di avanzamento nettamente superiori rispetto al Sud. Carlo Cottarelli sottolinea come il Piano abbia prodotto risultati nelle infrastrutture e nella giustizia civile, ma non abbia ancora generato un incremento significativo della capacità produttiva del Paese.Il messaggio positivo riguarda il futuro: tra fondi europei per energia e difesa potrebbero arrivare circa 23 miliardi di euro aggiuntivi nella prossima legge di bilancio.Fiscalità digitale, Big Tech e tensioni commercialiTestate: Repubblica / Corriere della SeraL'Unione Europea torna a valutare una Digital Services Tax coordinata. Secondo uno studio del Parlamento europeo, un'imposta del 3% potrebbe generare 25,7 miliardi di euro l'anno, mentre un'aliquota del 5% arriverebbe a quasi 43 miliardi.Il dibattito nasce soprattutto dalla concentrazione fiscale delle Big Tech in Irlanda, che consente ai grandi gruppi digitali di minimizzare il carico tributario europeo. Sullo sfondo resta il rischio geopolitico: Washington continua a minacciare nuovi dazi verso i Paesi che adotteranno una tassazione digitale.Per imprese e investitori il tema è strategico: una fiscalità europea più uniforme potrebbe modificare il quadro competitivo del settore tecnologico nei prossimi anni.Mercati finanziari, IPO e pagamenti digitaliTestate: Il Sole 24 OreDopo il successo delle grandi quotazioni tecnologiche, il mercato guarda alle future IPO di Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe e Databricks. Gli investitori restano però molto selettivi: le valutazioni elevate impongono modelli di business solidi e redditività crescente.Parallelamente si intensifica la competizione globale sui sistemi di pagamento digitali. Stati Uniti e Cina accelerano rispettivamente su stablecoin e yuan digitale, mentre l'euro digitale non dovrebbe arrivare prima del 2029, lasciando l'Europa in posizione di ritardo competitivo.Il tema centrale non riguarda soltanto i pagamenti, ma il controllo delle infrastrutture finanziarie e dei dati, sempre più determinanti negli equilibri economici internazionali.Industria italiana, export e Piano MatteiTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / La VeritàI distretti industriali continuano a rappresentare uno dei principali punti di forza del sistema produttivo italiano. Dal 2020 sono stati erogati 138 miliardi di euro di finanziamenti alle PMI attraverso il Programma Sviluppo Filiere.Nonostante le tensioni commerciali internazionali, l'export italiano verso gli Stati Uniti cresce del 7,2% nel 2025, facendo dell'Italia il quarto esportatore mondiale verso il mercato americano. Crescono anche gli investimenti esteri nel Paese.Prosegue inoltre il Piano Mattei, che amplia i partenariati con l'Africa e mobilita nuove risorse pubbliche e private per infrastrutture, energia e cooperazione economica.Telecomunicazioni, infrastrutture digitali e governance europeaTestate: Il Sole 24 OreCamera e Senato chiedono modifiche al Digital Networks Act europeo, con particolare attenzione alla gestione dello spettro radio e alla tutela della concorrenza nel settore delle telecomunicazioni.Il confronto coinvolge gli operatori italiani, divisi sulle modalità di rinnovo delle frequenze in vista della scadenza del 2029, quando terminerà circa il 73% delle concessioni attualmente in vigore.Per il settore delle telecomunicazioni la partita riguarda investimenti infrastrutturali, sviluppo delle reti e competitività europea nel lungo periodo.

This week, we discuss the PCE report, new home sales, GDP, and PMI. Inflation continues to run well above the Federal Reserve's target. While personal income growth appeared strong, much of the increase reflected a one time government payment. Adjusting for this temporary boost, the savings rate fell to just 2.8%, suggesting that many consumers are increasingly stretched. New home sales surprised to the downside, while the median months for sale rose to its highest level since 2021, underscoring further weakness in the housing market. Although the final estimate of first quarter GDP was revised higher, the increase was driven primarily by a decline in imports rather than stronger domestic demand. More concerning, consumption growth was revised down from 1.0% in the initial estimate to just 0.5% in the final estimate, adding to evidence of a slowing consumer sector. Meanwhile, the headline manufacturing PMI appeared robust, but much of the strength reflected firms building inventories in response to supply concerns and policy uncertainty. Manufacturers also reported layoffs amid weakening demand and elevated uncertainty. Taken together, while several headline figures suggested resilience, the underlying details painted a considerably weaker picture of the economy.

Accenture Song's planned acquisition of the Whalar agency was called the largest creator economy transaction ever. The structure underneath that headline is far more interesting than the number.In this special edition, Christian and Ayelet sit down with Chris Erwin of RockWater, one of the sharpest analysts in the creator economy, to go deep on what Accenture actually bought, what the founders kept, and why the deal structure tells the real story.Chris published a standout newsletter on this deal, and we brought him on to share his expert POV: the carve-out logic, the multi-year partnership nobody has details on, the "largest deal ever" math, and what Accenture Song buys next.What we cover: Why Neil Waller and James Street sold the agency but kept the broader creator-facing portfolio (Sixteenth, Foam, Moby Ventures, The Lighthouse, Umi Games), what the undisclosed multi-year partnership likely includes — global infrastructure, technology, enterprise client access, and balance-sheet capital, how the "$500M+ largest creator deal ever" claim squares with a $225-300M outside EV estimate, why the answer is probably a meaningful upfront payment plus a multi-year earnout, how Accenture's Droga5 precedent and stated M&A policy help reverse-engineer the structure, why the real value driver is media spend, measurement, and the performance data that unlocks $100B+ media budgets, the "do no harm" PMI era and why a prior 12-month working relationship de-risked the deal, and who Accenture Song buys next — plus why there's a genuine shortage of scaled independent creator agencies left to acquire.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 — Show note: why this special edition replaces Market and Deals Friday1:09 — Welcome and guest intro: Chris Erwin of RockWater1:38 — The backstory: Accenture Song's June 8th carve-out of the Whalar agency3:08 — "They sold the engine and kept the garage" — what that actually means4:17 — Speculating on the undisclosed multi-year partnership5:44 — Why life changes fast when you co-sell through Accenture's SOW machine6:37 — Predicting how the integration goes (and why a prior relationship matters)7:37 — The "do no harm" PMI era for people-heavy agency businesses8:01 — Is this really the largest creator economy transaction ever?8:49 — Reverse-engineering the structure: Accenture's M&A policy and the Droga5 precedent10:36 — Earnout norms: 3-5 years on larger deals, 2-3 on sub-$100M EV11:30 — Christian's thesis: Accenture is buying creator media dollars12:04 — The big-picture framing: consultancies pushing into marketing services14:05 — Why the materiality of the number unlocks everything Accenture can sell alongside it14:53 — What Accenture Song buys next — bolt-on capabilities across the creator stack16:56 — The real problem: a shortage of scaled independent creator agencies18:01 — The creator commerce wave and where the next big deals get built

Ci colleghiamo con l'inviato Vincenzo Miglietta, Radiocor.Caos Ferrovie: Donnarumma lascia. Gianpiero Strisciuglio sarà il nuovo ad di FSDopo giorni di forti tensioni nel mondo ferroviario, segnati da una serie di disservizi sull'Alta Velocità, dalle polemiche sulla gestione della rete e dal confronto tra i vertici del gruppo e il Ministero delle Infrastrutture, arriva il cambio al vertice di Ferrovie dello Stato. L'amministratore delegato Stefano Donnarumma lascerà l'incarico nei prossimi giorni, con circa un anno di anticipo rispetto alla naturale scadenza del mandato, prevista dopo l'approvazione del bilancio 2026. La decisione è maturata al termine di un incontro con il vicepremier e ministro delle Infrastrutture Matteo Salvini. A raccogliere il testimone sarà Gianpiero Strisciuglio, attuale amministratore delegato di Trenitalia e manager cresciuto all'interno del gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato. Approfondiamo con Riccardo Ferrazza, Il Sole 24 Ore.Istat, trimestre febbraio-aprile fatturato industria +2,0% valore, -0,5% volumePesa il caro energia sull'industria. Nel trimestre febbraio-aprile, in termini congiunturali, il fatturato dell'industria, al netto dei fattori stagionali, aumenta in valore (+2,0%) e diminuisce in volume (-0,5%). Nello specifico, ad aprile l'Istat stima che il fatturato dell'industria, al netto dei fattori stagionali, aumenti rispetto a marzo dello 0,3% in valore e diminuisca dell'1,0% in volume. Nel confronto mensile, il fatturato dell'industria registra incrementi in valore dello 0,8% sul mercato interno (-1,2% in volume) e cali dello 0,6% su quello estero (-0,7% in volume). Guardando ai raggruppamenti principali di industrie il fatturato in valore registra ad aprile una diminuzione su marzo per i beni di consumo (-0,4%) e per quelli strumentali (-1,8%), mentre si rilevano un aumento marcato per l'energia (+11,4%) e uno modesto per i beni intermedi (+0,6%). Intanto dallo studio di Teha Club e InnoTech Hub emerge che negli ultimi 25 anni l Italia ha generato appena 9mila aziende innovative, meno della metà di Germania, Francia e Spagna, nonostante sia la prima economia europea per PMI manifatturiere con 115 distretti industriali ad elevata produttività. Ne parliamo con Valerio De Molli Managing Partner & CEO di The European House - Ambrosetti.

Play audio-only episode | Play on YouTube | Play on Spotify Episode Summary Preparing for the PMP exam means developing the ability to make sound decisions under pressure, not simply recalling definitions from a textbook. In this lesson, drawn directly from the PM PrepCast PMP exam prep course and PrepCast PMP Exam Simulator, Cornelius Fichtner walks through all six project management principles from the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and shows exactly how to recognize and apply them when facing the kind of ambiguous, scenario-based questions that appear on the actual exam. Each principle gets its own sample question from the PrepCast PMP Exam Simulator, a step-by-step walkthrough of why the wrong answers are wrong, and a second practice question so listeners can immediately test what they have learned. The episode covers all six principles in sequence: Adopt a Holistic View, Focus on Value, Embed Quality into Processes and Deliverables, Be an Accountable Leader, Integrate Sustainability Within All Project Areas, and Build an Empowered Culture. Each principle is taught not as a concept to memorize but as a mindset to recognize and apply, because the exam consistently rewards situational judgment over terminology.

In this episode, Ricardo presents three practical applications of AI agents in project management. Unlike tools that only answer questions, these agents act autonomously, monitoring information and executing tasks. The first example is the risk agent, capable of identifying problems in messages, classifying their severity, updating records, and suggesting responses. The second is the status and reporting agent, which collects data from various sources, updates indicators, and automatically generates reports, allowing the manager to focus on analysis. The third is the planning and forecasting agent, which tracks project progress, identifies trends, performs simulations, and anticipates problems. Ricardo concludes that these agents not only automate tasks but transform the nature of project management work. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo apresenta três aplicações práticas de agentes de IA no gerenciamento de projetos. Diferentemente de ferramentas que apenas respondem a perguntas, os agentes atuam de forma autônoma, monitorando informações e executando tarefas. O primeiro exemplo é o agente de riscos, capaz de identificar problemas em mensagens, classificar sua gravidade, atualizar registros e sugerir respostas. O segundo é o agente de status e relatórios, que coleta dados de diversas fontes, atualiza indicadores e gera relatórios automaticamente, permitindo que o gerente foque na análise. O terceiro é o agente de planejamento e previsão, que acompanha o progresso do projeto, identifica tendências, realiza simulações e antecipa problemas. Ricardo conclui que os agentes não apenas automatizam tarefas, mas transformam a natureza do trabalho do gerenciamento de projetos. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

In this episode, Ricardo compares a project to a disorganized email inbox, full of messages, decisions, and pending tasks without proper handling. He explains that many projects don't face difficulties due to a lack of resources or schedule flaws, but because of the accumulation of actions, risks, requests, and decisions without follow-up. To deal with this problem, he presents the principles of the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology, created by David Allen, which is based on the idea that the human mind should generate ideas, not store them. Ricardo highlights five fundamental steps: capturing information, clarifying necessary actions, organizing responsibilities, regularly reviewing records, and executing priorities. Applied to projects, these principles help reduce chaos, increase productivity, and improve decision-making. Listen to the podcast to learn more!
