The food manufacturing industry, a bedrock of our global economy, is facing unprecedented pressures. Rising ingredient costs, volatile supply chains, stringent safety regulations, and ever-demanding consumer palates are forcing companies like Nestle, dairy producers, and countless others to rethink their operations.

These AI use cases in food manufacturing are transforming how we think about efficiency and innovation. Forget just robots packing boxes. We’re talking about a…

Authors: Dr. Jinal Shah Co-Author: Nandan Sanghvi There is nothing more terrifying than an enemy who strikes without warning, vanishing like a ghost before you even know you’ve been hit. This chilling reality extends beyond the battlefield, where battles are often won not by sheer force but by the element of surprise and superior strategy. Wars have never been mere clashes of armies; they are fought in trenches and treaties, in laboratories and satellites, in technologies and intelligence. Wars never truly end, they only change form. This art of war has now led countries into a new war, the war…
*Note: Following is an excerpt from my newest book, STRATEGIC: The Skill to Set Direction, Create Advantage, and Achieve Executive Excellence “Good strategies promote alignment among diverse groups within an organization, clarify objectives and priorities, and help focus efforts around them.

They provide direction.” Clayton Christensen, former professor, Harvard Business School The concept of strategy initially sprung from the need for people to defeat their enemies. The first treatises that discuss strategy are from the Chinese during the period of 400 – 200 B.C. Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, written…

You’re in a room full of voices, chatter, energy—but yet they still manage to shine. That? That’s openability in email marketing form. Openability is your first impression.

In a world where inboxes are flooded with over 100 emails a day, openability is the thin line between visibility and invisibility. Even with privacy…

In the middle, it’s easy to lose faith in the direction you’re travelling. One of my PhD mentors, Dr Diane Mulcahy, used to talk about “the muddle of the middle” a lot, especially when it comes to data analysis. I’ve found even having a phrase like “the muddle of the middle” is helpful: name it to tame it, as my therapist says. In some areas of…
