How quickly should an AI investment begin producing measurable business results? In this episode, I speak with Monica Kumar, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Extreme Networks, about the growing pressure on technology leaders to prove that AI investments are producing financial and operational value. The conversation draws on Extreme Networks' State of AI for Networking 2026 report, based on a global survey of 200 C-level executives and vice presidents of IT. The findings suggest that enterprise AI has entered a far less forgiving phase. Experimentation continues, but executives increasingly want evidence that deployments are reducing costs, improving productivity or creating better user experiences. The most striking result is the speed now expected. Some 57 percent of respondents said they expect measurable AI impact within weeks or sooner, compared with 16 percent in the previous year. Projects that once might have received six or 12 months to demonstrate value may now face questions within 30 or 60 days. Monica explains why these demands are changing which AI projects receive attention. Leaders are looking for use cases connected with existing operational problems, where results can be measured and communicated clearly. This makes enterprise networking an interesting test case. AI workloads depend on network compute, bandwidth, availability and access to current data. According to the research, 92 percent of respondents said AI is increasing demands on network compute and bandwidth. A fragmented or outdated network may therefore limit the performance of the AI applications running across it. The network can also provide an early opportunity to show what AI produces in practice. Monica discusses performance monitoring, predictive analysis, troubleshooting, compliance checks, capacity planning and security. These are repetitive, data-heavy activities where improvements can be measured in time saved, fewer support tickets and better service availability. A case from Middlesbrough College brings those claims into focus. The college reports that firmware tracking fell from as much as five hours each week to approximately five minutes, while the time spent troubleshooting decreased by around 90 percent. For a small network team, the value comes from giving people additional capacity without asking them to monitor every device or event manually. We also discuss why AI capabilities work better when embedded within normal business systems rather than added as another standalone tool. If an AI service remains outside the daily workflow, employees must move between platforms, transfer information and interpret the result themselves. Integrated AI can monitor the network, identify anomalies, recommend action and automate routine work within the environment where the team already operates. Monica also warns that the quality of AI depends heavily on its data. Before investing in another model or application, businesses need accurate, current and well-managed information. They must also examine whether their network has the capacity to support additional workloads and whether employees understand how to use AI responsibly. If executives expect AI results within weeks, are businesses selecting the right use cases, or simply imposing unrealistic deadlines on complicated technology programs? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

Manche kennen Dima vielleicht noch als einen der Top-Five-Gewinner beim Unterholz 2023. Doch mindestens genauso im Gedächtnis geblieben ist sein Volvo Amazon – ein Auto, das aus der Masse heraussticht und bei mir sofort für ordentlich Fragezeichen und Neugier gesorgt hat.Für mich war deshalb schnell klar: Ich muss wissen, was es mit diesem fast schon wie ein Vorkriegsfahrzeug anmutenden Schweden auf sich hat.Was vielleicht einmal als jugendlicher Leichtsinn begann, entwickelte sich zu einem echten Langzeitprojekt – vielleicht sogar zu einem Projekt fürs Leben. Dabei hat Dima seinen Volvo nicht einfach nur restauriert. Er hat seinen ganz eigenen Stil einfließen lassen und aus dem Amazon ein Auto gemacht, das seine ganz persönliche Geschichte erzählt.Wie es dazu kam, was hinter dem Projekt steckt und wohin die Reise mit dem Volvo noch gehen soll, hört ihr in dieser Podcast-Folge.
“Projects quite often realize too late that their R&D process cannot just be copy-pasted from the lab into the manufacturing facility.”Dr. Jenny Prange is Head of Project Management at the Regenerative Medicine Technologies Platform (RMTP) at Wyss Zurich, an accelerator embedded within ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich. With a background spanning molecular biotechnology, a PhD in human physiology, and hands-on experience translating an advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) from bench to clinical trial at University Hospital Zurich, Jenny brings both scientific depth and manufacturing expertise to early-stage biotech projects.In this PharmaSource podcast episode, Jenny explains why the leap from academic research to GMP-ready clinical manufacturing is consistently underestimated, what it actually takes to build a robust CMC strategy, and how translational facilities like Wyss Zurich are filling a critical gap in the biotech development landscape.Read the full article.
The legendary American Football coach, Vince Lombardi, said: “It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." Now that's true in American Football, and it's also true in life. No matter how well you plan your day or your week, your plan will inevitably get attacked by outside influences. A disorganised, reactive boss, a tired son or daughter who won't get out of bed in the morning, a traffic jam on the way to an important meeting, or your accountant telling you that you need to pay a big tax bill. These are all sudden, impossible to plan for attacks on your carefully planned day. Having a plan is one part of a productive day. Having an arsenal of tools to defend your plan is another. And it's that part that most people never prepare for. In this week's episode, I will share with you a few ideas that will help you defend your plan and show you how to get back on track if you are prevented from following it through. Let's go.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Whenever I ask a client how their week went, most answers are negative. They usually go something like: “Well, it started well. I got everything I wanted done on Monday and Tuesday completed, but then I had to suddenly go out to see a customer on Wednesday morning, and that just threw me off track. I didn't get back to the office until 4ish, and then I had to report back to my boss. That went on until 6:00 pm. Argh! It was a disaster” Well, was is a disaster? Perhaps not. All it was was one day out of five that did not go as planned. It's possible that a day like this will have put you behind on your plan for the week. It could also mean that getting everything you want done that week will no longer be possible. But that does not necessarily mean it's become a disaster. The issue really is not preventing things from going wrong; that would be a challenge beyond almost everyone. Instead, the focus should be on recovering from an unexpected event or interruption to minimise the damage to your plan. And in this week's episode, I will share a few ideas to help you quickly get back on track after one of these inevitable, unexpected events. But before I do that, I'd like to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question, but sadly, once again, she's sunning herself in a resort somewhere, so I'm afraid it's me reading out the question again. This week's question comes from Will. Will asks, “ Hi Carl, I've finally become consistent with my weekly planning (thank you for the tip about doing it on a Saturday morning). My problem now is when I look at my plan at the end of the week, I've got practically none of it done. There's always some emergency that throws me off my plan. How do I get myself to stay on track?” Hi Will, Thank you for your question. Now, the first thing I would tell anyone is not to go for perfection. If you have ten things that you plan to get done over the next seven days but only manage to do seven, I would say that was a pretty good week. You did seven important things that you wanted to do. That's a 70% success rate. I'd take that. The reality is you are unlikely to ever hit 100%. I know I never have; in fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone who has. There are just too many things that can happen that will throw you off track. Plus there's the human side of things too. We often expect to be able to do far more than is possible, and then there's always a missing piece of information that you need to ask someone else for, and they are away all week at a conference and won't be able to send it to you until next week. There could be a proposal you submit, anticipating approval, only to have it sent back to you for adjustments that will then require resubmitting. None of these can be anticipated; building in some buffer time can help, but it's still not likely to give you a 100% success rate. If you are hitting 100% consistently, that's likely to suggest that you are not pushing yourself hard enough to develop, but that's a whole different story. One trick I often suggest to my coaching clients is to build in a “catch-up” afternoon, or, if you can, a “catch-up day”, later in the week where you avoid scheduling meetings or other commitments and keep it free for catching up on anything you may have fallen behind with. For example, I don't schedule anything on a Thursday afternoon. I often have meetings mid-morning (I think of it as a calls day), and one task: writing this script. Other than that, there's nothing. This means that if I am behind on anything, I have a whole afternoon to catch up. (There's always something I will be behind on) This week, I am behind on a few videos I want to record. Should have got them done yesterday, but I ran out of time. So, this afternoon I will be recording. Another tip is to look at your weekly plan not as a task-level plan, but as a set of objectives. In other words, plan for bigger things such as making progress on a project, getting four exercise sessions in, clearing a backlog or resolving an issue with a customer. This is a reason why I developed the Weekly Planning Matrix. It's four squares representing four areas of your life: Core work: the work you are employed to do. (Just as an aside here, if you're a part of my Learning Centre, last week's Learning Note has an excellent example of how Warren Buffett identified his core work) Projects and issues: these are the higher-level things you want to make progress on professionally. Personal: For things that need addressing in your personal life, such as scheduling a doctor's appointment, deciding how many exercise sessions you will do, etc. And finally, the radar, which is for things you do not need to do anything about but should be aware of. For instance, if your in-laws are coming round for a few days later this month, or you're waiting for a package to be delivered. Because you're limited for space in each square, you become mindful about trying to do too much. If your projects and issues square is full, and next to that you see all your core work tasks, you will instantly see if you are being over-optimistic about what you can get done that week. I'll leave a link to a video I did on doing the Weekly Planning Matrix in the show notes for you. The next idea is related to your daily planning. Because it is almost inevitable that an unexpected event will occur at some point during the week, your daily planning can be used to reassess your weekly plan. Let me give you an example from my week this week. I planned to record some additional videos on Tuesday, but when I went to set things up, I discovered that the local government had decided Tuesday was a great day to dig up the road right outside my office. Jackhammers, reversing vehicle warning beeps, and road cleaners were all in full operation. It was an orchestra of wonderful modern city life noise That plan had to be scrapped. So, I looked at my calendar and saw that Thursday afternoon was clear (it always is, remember, for catch-up), so I moved the time block to Thursday afternoon. Now, I did that calendar adjustment as soon as I realised I wasn't going to be able to record the videos, but I could easily have left it until later in the day, when I did my daily planning. That's why your daily planning is so useful. It allows you some time each day to step back, reassess your plan for getting the important things done and make any alterations based on the new information you have. And that brings me onto the timing of your daily planning. Time and time again, when one of my clients switches over to planning their day the evening before, they tell me that it was life-changing. It's life-changing because you will immediately discover your evenings are more relaxing. Once you've planned the day, your brain lets go of all the stuff you're feeling a little anxious about. It quietens down. You also find you sleep better because you know what you will be doing the next day and that all your “bases” are covered, so to speak. No more “oh Crikey. I forgot to do X” just as you're drifting off to sleep. And when you begin your day, you're already clear about what needs to be done. That gives you a tremendous amount of focus and prevents you from going looking for trouble by looking at your actionable email, sifting through Slack or Teams messages or going into Jira looking for open tickets. Now, I know all that's well and good, but what happens if one of these legendary Unexpected Events happens when you're in the middle of doing your most important work for the day? This is the proverbial Vince Lombardi's “getting knocked down” situation. And as Vince Lombardi says, it's all about getting back up again once you've been knocked down. The only thing I've found that works here is that once you've dealt with the Unexpected Event, pause. Yes, that's right. Stop. Just briefly. Look at your calendar and see when your next committed appointment is, and take a look at your prioritised task list and see what's left to do. Often you will find that now that you no longer have the time you thought you would have, some of the remaining tasks can be rescheduled to another day. You may need to send a quick message to someone who is expecting something from you, but what you want to be doing is resetting your priorities based on the time you have left. For those of you who wisely set aside time to deal with your actionable emails and messages, you could reduce the time you spend there. For instance, if you have an hour protected for admin and communications later in the day, cut it to 30 minutes. Remember, with things like messages and emails, one is always greater than zero. Giving yourself thirty minutes today means you're not going to have to find an extra hour tomorrow. What was that old proverb, “a stitch in time saves nine”? Something like that. I would add an extra tip here. Something I've found very helpful. That is to reassess your prioritised task list between each session of work. Emails and messages, for example, can be devastating to even the best-laid plans. Given that most of us check our messages between sessions of work anyway, there's always the danger that you'll find an Unexpected Event” that requires thirty minutes or so of your time. So, give yourself a few minutes away from your desk and mentally re-evaluate your plan for the day. Be comfortable switching things around. For example, if you have to attend an unplanned meeting after lunch, you may find that moving your communication and admin time forward will reduce any pressure you may feel after the meeting. So there you go, Will. I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Over the past 55 plus years, John Gilbert Luebtow has become one of the most respected names in contemporary glass sculpture. Inspired by Friedrich Froebel, the inventor of kindergarten, the artist developed innovative technical processes in glass-making, introducing and incorporating gesture and expressive qualities into impeccably finished sculptural components. A student of Harvey Littleton, Mark Peiser and others, Luebtow explored blown, cast, and fused glass, as well as other techniques. Lois Lambert Gallery, Santa Monica, California, presented Retrospective – From 1972 to 2023, a recent exhibition of work by 82-year-old Luebtow. Lambert wrote: "Luebtow has been creating art for over 55 years, specializing in kiln formed glass, and has become one of the most important names in contemporary glass sculpture. He is most known for his innovation in the technical processes of working with glass, developing his own methods and even building his own tools for creating large-scale glass sculptures and installations up to 25 feet tall. At the heart of Luebtow's artistic philosophy is a curiosity about the processes of creation and a commitment to forging something entirely new. Luebtow's work integrates glass with architecture, becoming equal parts artistic expression and engineering endeavors. Despite his skilled background in drawing, painting, and ceramics, Luebtow ultimately has chosen glass as his primary medium, as 'no other material deals with light, line, movement, change, intensity…all things visual…as glass does, while also paralleling life, having an inner and outer self, and an internal and external presence or being.' Inspiration for Luebtow's work can be found in everything that is experienced in life, pairing beauty along with the reality of life's struggles. 'The events of our times, then and now, affect everything we do and are allowed to do. We are what we have experienced and what we remember.' Luebtow's sculptures, though not limited to, can be categorized by two different themes: political/social commentary and the abstraction of beauty. Many of Luebtow's sculptures use images of the American flag to reflect on and process political and social happenings. Other works utilize linear and geometric forms with added surface embellishment, to create technically perfect investigations of beauty and abstraction." Exploring rhythm and movement of line in sculptural form, Luebtow developed his Linear Form Series of cast and slumped glass sculpture. Working on a large scale required engineering skills to design and build kilns as large as 14' long x 10' wide x 4' tall to produce the elements for large scale architectural installations. Working with float glass, Luebtow left his mark on architectural spaces in and around Los Angeles, where his studio is located, and the country. His art required the design and building of equipment and development of processes that were almost as much art as the art itself. Projects such as Invenire, Ventus Vitae, and Sapere Aude were groundbreaking aesthetic and technical highlights of his career as a sculptor. Luebtow, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin native, holds a BA from California Lutheran College, and two distinct MFAs from UCLA (one in ceramics and one in glass). Since 1966, Luebtow has exhibited in over 175 exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad, including exhibitions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Tacoma Art Museum, WA; Zimmer Museum, CA; Corning Museum, NY; Carnegie Museum, PA; Oakland Museum of Art, CA; Santa Monica Museum of Art, CA; Louisville Art Museum, KY; Manhattan Beach Art Museum, CA; and Orange County Museum of Art, CA. His work has been commissioned by major public and private corporations including Hewlett-Packard (HP), ARCO (Atlantic Richfield), American Airlines, NESTLÉ (Carnation), and the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. Over 160 articles have been published about Luebtow's work. Wrote Shana Nys Dambrot for Patricia Correa Gallery: "John Luebtow has consistently addressed a quadrum of fundamental sculptural issues throughout his career: line, form, space, and light. These are broad considerations, to be sure; to a certain extent, they are inherent to all visual art media. What is significant in Luebtow's fidelity to this set of issues is not only his tenacity in the unraveling of their mysterious laws, but also the extraordinarily wide range of approaches he has drawn to them. The mystery he pursues is the technical spiritual identity of his medium. He searches within the sovereign form of his subjects for the abstract evidence of the energetic rhythm of movement." For a full review of his career, Luebtow has written and published Glass, A Life Time of Creating,available now.

We have finally made it to the last book of the Torah. Deuteronomy is Moses's magnum opus, his farewell speeches to the people he has led out of Egypt and into the wilderness. They are finally at the cusp of entering the promised land, and what Moses and everyone with him understand is that he will not be accompanying them for this final portion. While the Israelites camp on the plains of Moab, and prepare to cross the Jordan River, Moses has some parting words for them. He uses his final days with them to reflect on their journey, reiterate all they have learned together, and reinforce the covenant God made with the nation. Given the strength of Moses's message, it seems the 120-year-old prophet had lost his original fear of speaking to the people. He is now a strong, wise, and experienced orator. And yet, sadness tinges the whole book. Moses, the people, and even the modern reader know that he is about to die.

This conversation is about how the demands on data centers are changing and what that means for the systems that support them. As AI and high performance computing continue to scale, cooling is no longer a background function. It is central to whether these environments operate efficiently and reliably. Liquid cooling is becoming more common because it can handle the heat loads that air cooling cannot. But as systems move in that direction, the margin for error becomes much smaller. These are precision environments. Everything has to work as expected, and small issues can have larger consequences than people anticipate. Valves are a good example of something that is often overlooked but plays a critical role. They control flow, manage pressure, and help protect the integrity of the system. If they are not selected correctly, they can introduce problems that are difficult to detect early but show up later as inefficiencies or risk. One of the biggest points Eddie will make is that these systems depend on exact specifications. Engineers are not looking for something that is close. They need a valve that matches the system requirements exactly, whether that is flow performance, pressure characteristics, materials, connections, or physical dimensions. If something does not match, it can create integration issues, reduce efficiency, or delay the project. At the same time, the pace of data center construction is accelerating. Projects are moving quickly, and delays are not easily absorbed. That means availability and lead time are part of the technical decision, not just an operational detail. If the right solution is not available when it is needed, it creates risk for the entire build. This creates a real challenge for engineers, buyers, and OEMs. They need highly specific solutions, but they also need them delivered quickly and consistently. It is not enough to have a product that performs. The supplier has to be able to meet the spec, support the application, and deliver on time. Another important part of the conversation is how performance is evaluated. Published specifications do not always reflect real operating conditions. Systems do not run at a single point. They run across a range of flows and conditions. That is where the idea of usable Cv becomes important. It reflects how the valve actually performs in the system, not just how it performs in an ideal scenario. There is also growing awareness around hidden inefficiencies. Pressure drop, turbulence, and potential leak paths can all impact system performance. In high-density environments, these factors can reduce cooling effectiveness, increase energy usage, and introduce long-term reliability concerns. What this all points to is a shift in how components are selected. Valve selection is not a secondary decision. It is part of the overall system strategy. Getting it right helps protect uptime, maintain efficiency, and keep projects on track. Getting it wrong can introduce risks that are difficult and expensive to correct later. The goal of the conversation is to give people a clearer understanding of what matters most as they design and support modern cooling systems. It is about making better decisions upfront so systems perform the way they are intended to over time.
In this episode, I chat with Steve Brown, an AI futurist, independent consultant, and former professional at Intel and Google DeepMind. Steve shares his insights on helping global leadership teams decode the future of artificial intelligence. We dive into the common pitfalls of corporate AI adoption, including why so many AI initiatives fail due to poor communication and a lack of cultural integration. Steve outlines a definitive three-step path to AI transformation, emphasizing the critical difference between 20th-century cost-cutting and 21st-century labor amplification. The conversation also explores how AI is reshaping middle management, the distinct differences between "AI-first" and "AI-native" businesses, and the staggering acceleration of physical AI and humanoid robotics.

Send Katie a Text Message!! Are you turning away small projects because they don't seem profitable enough?You may be missing one of the biggest opportunities in your business.In this episode, I challenge the common belief that designers should only pursue large, full-service projects. Instead, I explain why evaluating the client—not just the project—can lead to stronger relationships, more repeat business, and greater long-term profitability.We also dive into customer lifetime value, profitable entry offers, scope management, and how to create a business that grows through relationships rather than constantly chasing new leads.In This Episode, We Cover: Why small projects aren't always small opportunities The difference between hiring the project and hiring the client Understanding customer lifetime value in an interior design business How to create profitable entry-level design services Why scope growth isn't always scope creep Building contracts that support additional services Creating repeat clients instead of constantly finding new ones The mindset shifts that lead to sustainable business growth The goal isn't simply to book bigger projects.It's to build relationships that create value for years to come.Connect with KatieLinkedInBusiness Strategy Sessions for Interior Designers Free Resources for scaling your interior design firmWebsite

Stop starting from zero every morning. Build a Claude project that acts as a living knowledge bank for your business and every piece of copy, strategy and decision gets better the longer you use it.In this episode of The Unlock, Oliver Bruce breaks down why most businesses get zero compounding value from AI, how to build a Claude Projects workspace that acts as a second brain, and the iteration loop that makes that knowledge bank smarter over time.Most businesses use AI like a search engine. Every morning you open a new chat, spend 20 minutes explaining your context, get something usable, then repeat it tomorrow. That is not leverage. That is Groundhog Day. AI outputs sound robotic because the model has no context for what you stand for or what you have tried before.The fix is Claude Projects. A project is a dedicated workspace where you upload your core business documentation and train the model on how your business actually operates. Oliver shares how he did this at Pinpoint Media, uploading brand guidelines, tone of voice docs, case studies, onboarding materials and sales call transcripts, then writing a master prompt that turned the project into a strategic sparring partner rather than a yes machine.The real power is iteration. Every campaign result and strategic breakthrough gets dropped back into the project, so it compounds into a living record of what works. It also lets new senior hires quiz the project on day one and compress months of onboarding into days.Oliver shares the five step playbook. Gather your foundational documents. Create the project and upload them. Write the master prompt. Use it for a week and refine. Then feed it results to get the compounding effect.Key topics covered: Why most businesses get zero compounding value from AI Why starting from a blank chat every day kills your leverage How Claude Projects works as a second brain for your business Which documents to upload and which to leave out How to write a master system prompt that pushes back How a knowledge bank compresses months of onboarding into days The five step playbook for building your business brain The iteration loop that makes the project smarter over time Key takeaway: Stop starting from zero. Build your brain, feed it with data, and never explain who you are again.Sponsored by Incard. Sign up now. All your finances. One platform.

Tribal officials and renewable energy advocates are celebrating a major legal victory after a Minnesota administrative judge ruled in favor of the Upper Sioux Community's solar-powered casino. The dispute centers on the tribe's right to supplement its power with on-site solar energy, while also highlighting the friction between tribal sovereignty and local utility monopolies. In federal court, a separate legal battle is underway to reclaim frozen funding from the $7 billion “Solar for All” program. Despite the federal standstill, Minnesota tribes like the Red Lake and White Earth Nations are forging ahead, successfully building their own solar infrastructure to secure energy independence.

ROI supersedes AI. That's the blunt verdict from Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO of Boomi, who has spent 30 years at the top of enterprise software. With OpenAI burning $3 billion a month and Gartner projecting that up to 40% of enterprise AI projects will be abandoned by 2027, the blank-check era for AI spending is over — and the reckoning is coming faster than most investors realize. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren sits down with Steve to unpack what Wall Street is missing: why the next wave of AI winners won't be the flashy model makers, how to spot the difference between a real AI strategy and expensive spin, and the single metric that separates transformative technology from hype.

SK Hynix's debut on the Nasdaq as an ADR makes it "different" from a usual IPO, says Kevin Hincks, who tells investors to brace for a volatile U.S. opening for the South Korean tech giant. It comes as the AI memory trade remains red-hot, seen in stocks like Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK). Kevin also touches on comments from the IEA that world oil demand will see its first annual decline since 2020. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Mike & Tommy tackle the often-overlooked "outer context" problem in agentic Fabric development — exploring why request tracking systems like Notion, GitHub Issues, or even ADO matter more than most teams realize, and how building a proper project harness could be the difference between an agent that delivers and one that drifts.They break down how to map these workflows across corporate tool stacks — Loop, OneNote, SharePoint — and what a minimum viable harness actually looks like in practice.Inspired by this mailbag question: @HerrHippGet in touch:Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.Visit PowerBI.tips: https://powerbi.tips/Watch the episodes live every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 730am CST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/powerbitipsSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/230fp78XmHHRXTiYICRLVvSubscribe on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explicit-measures-podcast/id1568944083Check Out Community Jam: https://jam.powerbi.tipsFollow Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarlo/Follow Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommypuglia/
Whoever you ask, you are likely find broad agreement that the world needs more energy infrastructure. Whether you are worried about ensuring secure supplies, powering new data centres, or cutting greenhouse gas emissions, the answer is most often going to be investing in new assets: power plants, transmission lines, factories, pipelines, ports… the list goes on. But all too often, getting big projects built is painfully slow, expensive and unpredictable. It is particularly difficult in high-income countries, and perhaps in the US most of all.For this episode, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Dr. Melissa Lott are joined by Craig Albert, the President and COO of Bechtel, one of the world's biggest engineering and construction companies. Together, they discuss the critical problems that get in the way of infrastructure projects, and what businesses and governments can do to get past them.First off, Craig acknowledges that the problems in the system all reflect good intentions. Communities, safety, the environment and local impacts all deserve scrutiny. The problem, especially in the US, is that the process used to take all those factors into account when approving large projects is slow, fragmented and uncertain. The result is that it pushes up costs, delays revenue, creates financing risk, and ultimately slows progress towards energy security and a lower-carbon energy system.The conversation digs into the role of trust and certainty in decision-making. Once a project has been assessed and approved, how do you stop it from being endlessly revisited? Craig argues that some aspects of the US system create particular difficulties. Other developed countries have shown that infrastructure projects can be brought in on time and on budget. Craig cites the Western Sydney International Airport project, which moved from site selection to full construction approval in just two and a half years. In the US, he says, the same process could easily take eight to ten.The discussion then turns to nuclear power, and the lessons from the two new AP1000 reactors built at the Vogtle plant in Georgia. Craig calls Southern Company and Georgia Power “national heroes” for taking on the first greenfield US nuclear project in decades, but he is candid about what went wrong. His biggest takeaway is the importance of deeply integrated EPC: engineering, procurement and construction working as one system from the start. He also stresses the need for earlier investment in workforce training, stronger supply-chain visibility and better sequencing to reduce costly reworks.From there, Ed and Melissa widen the lens to look at other energy sectors. Craig explains why the US LNG industry offers a more hopeful model of projects delivered without huge cost overruns and multi-year delays. In that industry the construction companies are building repeated, standardised projects, with integrated delivery, and a relentless focus on finding and fixing bottlenecks. Bechtel has delivered dozens of LNG trains, he says, all on schedule and within budget, while still improving speed from one project to the next. Similar lessons apply in solar, where scale, automation and better execution are helping push installation rates sharply higher.But policy and project design are only part of the story. Craig argues that workforce is the other great constraint. If every new power plant, grid upgrade, semiconductor fab and airport ultimately depends on skilled craft labour, then the US has to start treating those jobs with the respect they deserve. Restoring the status of skilled trades is not just a cultural issue. It is essential to the country's ability to build, Craig says. The closing message is both practical and cautionary: if the US wants more energy security, more electricity for AI and data centres, and faster progress on decarbonisation, it has to get much better at building. That means fixing permitting, reducing project uncertainty, investing earlier in supply chains, and treating skilled labour as a strategic asset, rather than an afterthought.This episode of Energy Gang is brought to you by ENGIE, the smarter energy supplier.
