Digital Transformation Changes How Companies Create Value
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Digital transformation is about changing where value is created, and
how your business model is structured. More and more, value creation
comes from outside the firm not inside, and from external partners
rather than internal employees. The authors call this new production
model an inverted firm, a change in organizational structure that
affects not only the technology but also the managerial governance
that attends it. Executives must understand and undertake partner
relationship management, partner data management, partner product
management, platform governance, and platform strategy. They must
learn how to motivate people they dont know to share ideas they dont
have.

Getting Your Company's Data Program Back on Track
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Many senior managers find themselves wondering: If data is such a game
changer, why is it so hard to extract any value from it? For companies
struggling to actually see results from their data program, it might
be time to make a fresh start. There are three important issues
managers need to understand as they restart: 1) Too many companies
have made the mistake of viewing data as a technology problem, but
data is a management problem, and it cannot be solved with technology
alone. 2) Many companies try to tackle issues that are too difficult
straight out of the gate. 3) Data is a different sort of asset:
intangible, nuanced, both potentially valuable and dangerous. People
need to spend time working with it to understand its properties.

Why You Should Allow Returns on Customized Products
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Consumers are accustomed to generous product returns policies online.
Firms recognize that it makes the purchase decision easier. But most
companies restrict these policies to standard products and customized
products are typically not returnable. In this article the authors
argue that this is a mistake. Extending easy returns to customized
products will encourage consumers to engage more with the brand and
will also reduce the likelihood of returns occurring in the first
place. This will result in more loyal customers and higher profits.
The authors also explored the conditions under which companies can
expect a win-win outcome from adopting a lenient returns policy for
customized products. Four factors seem to be critical: making
customized products more salvageable; adopting tech innovations that
reduce the cost of customization; reducing or eliminating
customization fees; and providing improved, user-friendly interfaces.

As more companies commit to adopting CSR strategies that address
environmental and social issues, its becoming more important than ever
for these strategies to be goal-driven, ambitious yet achievable, and
authentic. The author outlines six tips for companies to develop this
kind of CSR strategy: Get buy-in from executives, determine material
issues, align goals to company values and culture, establish a goal
framework, create a system of implementation and accountability, and

language acquisition are at work. Here is what science says about the

Humans

Fifty years ago, scientists discovered a nearly complete fossilized
skull and hundreds of pieces of bone of a 3.2-million-year-old female
specimen of the genus Australopithecus afarensis, often described as
the mother of us all. During a celebration following her discovery,
she was named Lucy, after the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with
Diamonds.Though Lucy has solved some evolutionary riddles, her
appearance remains an ancestral secret.

has prompted senior figures in the Democrat party to question whether
he is fit enough to stand for the upcoming presidential election.
Former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said it was reasonable to
ask: Is this an episode or is this a condition? Ahead of an interview

Nigel Farage, Greens and 72 Liberal Democrats: inside Britain's new
multi-party parliament
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Aside from Labours landslide victory, the other big story of the 2024
election is the fragmentation of the British parliament and the rise
of smaller parties at the expense of the Conservatives.While polls
predicted a total wipeout for the Conservatives, they will at least be
relieved to know they will still occupy the official opposition
benches something which looked to be on a knife edge just a few days
ago.

for change in economic and financial policy-making at the highest

The UK's new prime minister Keir Starmer - hoping for a Democrat in
the White House, preparing for Trump
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Keir Starmer, the UKs new prime minister, was quiet on the question of
relations with the US prior to his election, choosing to avoid, in
particular, talk of how he would manage a second Donald Trump
presidency.Starmer is a centre-left politician the first to come to
power in the UK for over a decade so his views are hardly aligned with
Trumps. But the US presidential election is a few short months away
and, depending on the result, the relationship between the UK and US
could look very different on the other side of it.

Fusion power could transform how we get our energy -- and worsen
problems it's intended to solve
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion the combining of nuclei, which
lie within atoms could be instrumental in the shift towards a
decarbonised global energy system. As issues of climate change and
energy security are becoming increasingly salient, the promise of an
apparently clean, abundant and safe energy source, such as fusion, is
ever more appealing. In response, the fusion industry is growing
rapidly and the trope that fusion is 30 years away and always will be
is beginning to lose credibility as the technology moves beyond its
experimental stage.

think you need expensive, high-tech machinery and equipment capable of
looking deep beneath the skin at whats going on in the body. But while
these high-tech implements certainly are incredible, they arent the
only instruments capable of detecting disease. In fact, you may even
share a home with one of these powerful disease-detecting agents.

What Labour's election means for women: the good and the bad
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Its a good day for womens representation in politics. The proportion
of women MPs has reached a record high of 40.6%. Women are expected to
hold a number of prominent positions in the new government, including
the UKs first female chancellor. Labour also has a stronger track
record of women-friendly policies than the other parties. However, the
picture is not entirely rosy.The newly elected parliament includes 264
women. This figure surpasses the threshold of 40% for the first time
and is a big jump from the previous record of 34.2% in 2019. And women
are not just on the backbenches, a number also hold senior frontbench
roles, including Angela Rayner as deputy prime minister and levelling
up secretary.

The six most urgent problems facing the UK that Starmer's new
government needs to fix
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=30708&nl=daily]

Keir Starmers Labour party has won the UK general election in a
landslide. Its huge majority should, in theory, give Starmer the clout
to see through most of his political agenda. But in reality, the
victory celebrations might prove short-lived, given the size of the
challenges in front of him.When Tony Blair came to power in 1997, he
inherited a strong economy and a tide of booming national optimism.
Starmer, by contrast, inherits an economy in the doldrums and a
mandate seemingly more motivated by a desire to remove the
Conservatives than by enthusiasm for Labours manifesto.

At first glance, Keir Starmers Labour Party has just put in a
performance for the ages in the British general election. The incoming
prime minister controls a comfortable parliamentary majority, Tory
bastions have fallen to the left and the right, and any number of
curtains have been brought down on the careers of Tory MPs and
ministers.

Keir Starmer appoints historic cabinet with record number of women -

As the dust settles on Labours historic election win, Keir Starmer,
the UKs new prime minister, has appointed his team of senior
ministers. These men and women (of whom there are a record number in
this cabinet) are now responsible for governing and delivering on the
partys manifesto commitments.The ability to choose who sits in cabinet
and what jobs they have is hugely empowering for any prime minister.
Most ambitious politicians crave high office, which locks them into an
essentially submissive relationship with the prime minister.
