Understanding Millenials and Gen Z To Predict Workplace Trends Millenials and Gen Z (Zoomers) already make up half the workforce. By 2025 Zoomers will be 25% on their own.

Demographics drive more societal change than anything else. Or should we say everything else. And demographics are extremely predictable.

Customers won’t buy from you if they don’t trust you. The very minimum is you must promise to your customer what you will deliver, and then make good on that promise. If your product and/or service doesn’t deliver on its promise, you won’t have trust and you won’t have sales. Surprisingly, companies often fail at this very bottom level. They fail t…

The world’s richest people are all self-made billionaires. None started with great family wealth, nor corporations. But can we identify what made them billionaires while others only wish for wealth.

Last week Gordon Moore died. In 1965 he wrote a paper saying the number of transistors on a chip would double every 2 years (at that time, to 65,000). That was not a new physics law, it was a trend. And it turned out to be a powerful trend – today powerful microprocessors have 114 billion transistors. By seeing how manufacturing could improve, Moor…

Don’t inves…

The biggest risk of myopia is unintended consequences. We set out to do one thing, and we don’t see the after-effects that happen – on customers, suppliers and employees. Also, by focusing intently on our existing business we don’t see how unintended consequences of things outside our business can have enormous impact. And, if we don’t see it comin…

By 2010 the internet was everywhere. Most everyone had a Blackberry or iPhone. Young and old alike knew what Amazon.com was, and doing Google searches.

Electricity has been part of every American’s life for 60 years. But we are now going through a punctuated equilibrium that will change everything.

How much time do you spend really thinking about customer needs? I don’t mean how they want you to improve your product service. I mean really thinking about their needs?

Every business leader knows they need to sell more stuff. And they need to make money. So leaders invest in sales, marketing, operations and supply chain management.

2022 was a tumultuous year! Interest rates went from zero to 4.5%, while finding employees continued to remain nearly impossible, and supply chain interruptions dominated the output landscape.

In 2022 Federal Funds rate went from 0% to 4.25% in just 7 months. An unprecedented jump in rates – but it started from an equally unprecedented base of 0%. Looking back 100 years there was only one time when interest rates were below 1% - and that was during 2010-2022. Can you recognize that the 2010’s and pandemic were the aberration, not the nor…

Business leaders think very unidirectionally about their business. Meaning they think about how to push more of what they have onto customers. But customers tend to be unwilling to buy what they don’t want. Eventually leaders scratch their heads asking “why can’t I sell more stuff” without realizing the obvious problem is you aren’t selling the rig…

We love how Netflix pivoted from delivering DVDs to streaming content, then pivoted from streaming other people’s content to making its own. We love comparing how Netflix destroyed Blockbuster which refused to pivot from retail stores to other distribution channels. But we forget that the Netflix’ CEO Reed Hastings was pilloried for making those pi…

FTX recently failed, wiping out $32B of value in one week. Less than 3 years old, FTX’ 20-something CEO raised over $1.5B and charmed the media that crypto was the biggest thing since the internet.

Who Challenges Your Thinking? Do You Need “Affirmative Action”? Last podcast we discussed how assumptions lead to biases which can lead to bad decision making. We often don’t know what we don’t know, so we plunder forward hoping what used to work will continue to work. But the world changes, and often we fail to change because nobody pressures us t…

Is the Situation at Facebook As Bad As It Seems? In 2023 Meta (Facebook’s owner) stock has dropped from $350 to $90. That’s a market value loss of 75% in just a few months. INCREDIBLE!

We all have assumptions. We wouldn’t get anything done if we didn’t have assumptions. Built on facts, assumptions help us to focus on new problems rather than constantly resolving old problems. Only….. the world changes. The situational facts change. And assumptions become out of date. When that happens we make bad decisions, because when we get th…

If you have a formal business education – like a BBA or MBA – you were taught how to do more, better, faster and cheaper. You were taught to assume the customer will not change – in fact almost nothing will change. Your job is to defend the business as it exists, and hopefully extend it just a bit. Only, that is a path to ruin. Because the world is…

You’ve probably heard the popular phrase, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” It means to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive one.

All strategic planning should be forward based, and thus built on trends. Scenario planning requires understanding trends, including their direction, speed of adoption and impacts. Yet, many planners struggle to know the difference between a trend and a fad. And many more don’t know how to measure trends – or track them. This podcast describes very…

We all like to do what’s easy. Studying trends, and evaluating their impact, is not easy – especially when looking at threats as well as possibilities.

From 2012 through 2019 most small and mid-size organizations started to see the need for more strategic planning, especially related to growth. But then the pandemic happened, and their business either caught an unexpected growth wave – or hit a wall. Either way, many stopped planning and began reacting to current events. Then in 2021 the economy t…

Even though entertainment trends shifted to at-home (Netflix, et.al.) a decade ago, when the pandemic hit Cineworld (parent of Regal Cinemas) borrowed money to keep their theaters.

In this episode of Couch Convos: Biz and Tech Talks, we sit down with Modern Software Delivery expert Pete Walen to talk about using test automation to support software development.

Running a business is a lot of hard work. Every day things can go wrong, customers complain and competitors take pot shots at you.
