Kick off the new year with a fresh perspective on your business strategy! In this episode, Ben Owden chats with Dr. Peter Fader, Wharton professor and co-founder of a predictive analytics firm acquired by Nike. Peter is also the author of Customer Centricity and The Customer Centricity Playbook, and he's on a mission to debunk the myth that “all customers are created equal.” Discover why focusing on your best customers—and even paying more to acquire them—can drive sustainable growth, while treating every customer the same can derail your bottom line. Peter explains the power of customer lifetime value (CLV), sheds light on how to measure it without drowning in data, and shows how a “quality over quantity” approach to customer acquisition can transform your organization. Whether you're planning this year's strategic initiatives or seeking a deeper understanding of customer behavior, this insightful conversation will help you see why the right customers—not all customers—deserve your full attention.Read Peter's Book on Customer CentricityGet in Intouch with Peter FaderImportant Links*Join Thrive in the Middle Today!*Book WhyLead to Train Your Teams*Explore Our ServicesSocial Media*Ben Owden's LinkedIn*Ben Owden's Twitter 

We discuss the big trends and important news of the year in business education

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the next chapter of the 2024-25 MBA admissions cycle, which begins on January 3rd with Round 2 deadlines for UPenn / Wharton and London Business School. Graham highlighted an admissions tip which focuses on the GMAC standard letter of recommendation which has been adopted by many leading MBA programs. This format simplifies the admissions process for recommenders by standardizing the questions to which they need to respond. Graham then discussed a new Real Humans that features students from Toronto / Rotman. Graham also presented the career placement reports from Stanford and Michigan / Ross.  We are continuing to see a trend that shows that a higher percentage of MBA graduates are moving on to financial services careers; Ross experienced a significant decline in consulting placement. Stanford is also reporting consulting placements are down for their Class of 2025 interns from last summer, which may be an early signal for next year's career placement report. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is planning to apply for next season. They are a cloud engineer with a computer science major and psychology minor. They also have interesting activities outside of work. Their GRE is 324, and we think it might make sense to try to improve that score. This week's second MBA candidate is only targeting two programs, Berkeley / Haas and Stanford, which we think is very risky. Their GRE score is 318, which will present significant challenges for these two programs. The final MBA candidate is deciding between UPenn / Wharton, Chicago / Booth and Yale SOM. They also have scholarship offers at each program to factor into their final decision. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

In April of 2023, Episode #11, we first chatted with Economist and Author Jeff Korzenik. His book, Untapped Talent, had been recently released, and we were excited to hear about how a well-known, National U.S. Economist, became involved in the fair chance hiring movement. Since then, Jeff has been crisscrossing the U.S. making a case for hiring justice-impacted individuals, one speaking engagement at a time. From well-known business schools such as MIT and Wharton to large-scale organizations such as Goodwill, Jeff brings factual and concerning information about the current state of the labor shortage. He also shares the compelling stories of employers and employees who have succeeded in the fair chance hiring model. As Jeff says, ‘the structural labor shortage is an “all hands on deck” problem with no single solution', and as such, he will continue to spread the fair chance hiring message to overcome the workforce issues plaguing U.S. employers.

Our discussion of the latest Poets&Quants' rankings of the world's best MBA experiences

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the activity of MBA LiveWire; the last couple of weeks has seen significant activity as the majority of the top MBA programs have released their round 1 decisions. For this upcoming week Texas / McCombs is one of the few remaining top programs that is scheduled to release its Round 1 decisions. Graham highlighted five admissions tips that have been published on the Clear Admit site this week. These include tips about scholarship offers, their impact on final decisions and whether they are negotiable. For Round 2 candidates, the admissions tips focused on resume preparation, career goals and building business school connections. We then discussed two Real Humans stories, focused on MBA students at Texas / McCombs and Dartmouth / Tuck. This then turned into a conversation on how to seek out willing students and alumni with whom to connect. Graham then presented the Class of 2024 career placement report from Dartmouth / Tuck. Overall, Tuck's placement statistics remain impressive considering the market conditions. There has been a greater emphasis on placement within the North-East and Mid-Atlantic regions. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a very interesting personal profile and has degrees from outstanding academic institutions in Europe. They also have a lot of entrepreneurial experience, over several years. We do worry about their quant profile, which is illustrated by their sub-par GRE score. This week's second MBA candidate is planning to apply in two years' time, so is thinking ahead. They will want to retake their GRE, to improve their current 317 score. They have the opportunity to develop a very decent profile over the next couple of years. The final MBA candidate is deciding between UPenn / Wharton and Chicago / Booth. Booth is offering them additional scholarship, but we wonder if that is enough to influence their final decision. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Status. It's something we want but might have difficulty admitting its presence or acknowledging we want it. Except it's pretty much always around us and, according to my guest, it's a fundamental human need. It can drive the levels to which we receive respect and how we think about ourselves. Dr. Alison Fragale (https://alisonfragale.com/) is a professor at the University of North Carolina, a keynote speaker, and the author of a book I loved called Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve. I'm not alone in my love for this book. Wharton professor and author Adam Grant said the book is “The ultimate guide for women to achieve their goals.” So, listen in as Alison and I talk about status, how it relates to women, and how it can inform us all. https://alisonfragale.com/ https://alisonfragale.substack.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisonfragale/ https://www.instagram.com/alisonfragale/

   There's never been a more Bill Self-like trademark win that KU's victory over Duke in Las Vegas Tuesday night.  They were tough and won with lockdown defense in the final 3:00 minutes.  Because, of course they did.  They have so much in common with the Chiefs in their ability to win games at the end.    Chiefs lineman Tershawn Wharton kept a falling kid from hitting the ground after the game at Carolina last week and his actions have gone viral.  Now he wants to do more for the little boy.    Public transportation in KCMO is a hot mess as "ambassadors" will now be packing heat in the street cars.  At the same time, www.tonyskansascity.com points out the free bus rides have caused crime and mayhem to thrive.    Was Kamala Harris drunk while making a video for her supporters this week?  It seriously looked like an internet AI fake but was real.  She needs to go away fast.     Joe Biden is trying to spend as much money as he can on his way out the door to create trouble for Trump... what a legacy to leave.     The new NIH Director is uncancelled, a former hockey player fights 6 drunk golfers at a restaurant in Scottsdale and Formula One racing makes an announcement that's really strange and vague.
