This measure, part of the broader "National Infrastructure Bill" enacted a year ago to close Israel's major infrastructure gap, is HUGE. It aims to overcome the "Utility Coordination" challenge, notoriously the weakest link in every project life cycle — key to delivering Israel's mega-projects on time over the next decade and essential for sustaining rapid economic growth. Why is this so crucial? - Israel's productivity gap (GDP per hour worked) is the biggest challenge to realizing its economic growth potential. - Alongside the demographic challenge, aggressively addressing the "Infrastructure Gap" is a top priority. - Approximately 25% of the productivity gap is attributed to infrastructure deficiencies in transportation, particularly mass transit. - Over the next 10-15 years, Israel will invest more than NIS 0.5 trillion in capital projects for Transportation and Energy (1.5-2% increase in investment of GDP annually). Streamlining projects = closing the "infrastructure gap" faster = GROWTH. Adi Hachmon Iliya Katz Yuval Avigdor Dana Dover Itzik Daniel Esti Feldman

Mainly on my channel, Focus Point, I explain how and what to do for reaching success. Now it's time for practical cases! Very soon, there will be an interview on the channel with Nadav Shoval, CEO and founder of OpenWeb, our first Israeli unicorn. We invested in this company at an early stage, and today it is a leader in its industry. Nadav talked about his story and views, shared how he managed to achieve such impressive results. I'm sure the OpenWeb case will be useful to many, especially those interested in learning how to set goals and achieve success, even for established players. To not miss out, subscribe to my channel.

Interesting questions arise with the adoption of #AI - Not only do the questions include dilemmas of who should receive a ticket when an #autonomousCar makes a mistake, Similar questions can arise when dealing with #AIinFinance. For instance, Who should be charged if an #investmentAI leads to investors losses, or appears to have used insider data? Similarly, who should be investigated, if a #lendingAI discriminates between potential lenders (based for instance on past statistics profiling)? We'll be talking about these aspects of AI in #finance and #banking, during the upcoming #lectures this Thursday, and next week. Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments in the meantime!

🌟 When You Truly Create an Impact 🌟 A few months ago, we recognized the need to define and invest in the tech lead role, understanding that our tech leads are the driving force behind our technical teams. So, what exactly is the tech lead role? While it may vary from company to company or even team to team, it is clear that this role requires a blend of technical expertise and leadership skills. The Manager’s Path: A Guide for Tech Leaders offers an insightful chapter on this, emphasizing that being a tech lead involves more than technical know-how. It’s about navigating interpersonal dynamics, making strategic decisions, and mentoring team members. These complexities guided us in creating a program that addresses the multifaceted nature of the tech lead role. The Process of Creating an Impactful Program: 🤝 Collaboration between P&C Partner and Learning: This is where it all started - good communication and a strong working relationship between Tal Lev, my partner in crime, and myself. 🔍 Identify Your Sponsors: Key sponsorship from leadership was crucial in driving the program forward and ensuring alignment with our strategic goals. Doron Cyngiser Ori Danus, thank you for leading this program and putting your heart into it! 🗣️ Understanding Needs and Challenges: Through preparation meetings with managers and tech leads, we gained valuable insights into their unique needs and challenges, shaping the foundation of our program. 📋 Creating a Clear Role Guide and Skill Taxonomy: We developed a clear role guide and skill taxonomy to set precise expectations and define the competencies required for tech leads to excel. 📢 Involving Management: Involving management ensured that our objectives were aligned with the broader mission of the organization, maximizing the program’s impact. 🤝 Choosing the Right Vendor: Our vendor partner, Jetpacks Consulting (Omri Cohen and Matan Kubovsky), played an instrumental role in shaping and executing the program, bringing invaluable expertise and insights. 🌟 The Power of a Group: Group sessions encouraged collaboration and knowledge sharing, building a strong support network among our tech leads. 🔄 Creating a Continuous Support System: Create and establish a continuous support system to ensure ongoing development and support for our tech leads. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this journey. Ido Stern Rami Tzafrir Gali Cohen Nissan

## Episode 2 of our (Hebrew) #PMMiyaPodcast. Really excited for this one, for obvious reasons and for even more obvious reasons ❤️ Links in the comments ## It's easy to take for granted that at the end of the day, the main aspect of our job as #ProductMarketingManager is to effectively communicate what the product does (features), the benefits of using it, and how it addresses specific customer pain points. This focus on #messaging and #positioning is what 92% of respondents in a Product Marketing Alliance survey identified as a significant part of their role. Essentially, it's about crafting the words, expressions, problems, and solutions that position our product on "the right shelf" where it has the best chance to stand out and be chosen. Messaging and positioning are certainly not new concepts in the world of marketing and sales, and their precursors can still be found in supermarket aisles, retail stores, and car dealerships. When dealing with digital products that cannot be touched, tasted, or sat in, this task becomes particularly challenging, especially when the market is saturated with competing products, and differentiation through unique messaging is crucial. To give you a professional, practical, and experienced perspective on how to approach messaging for a wide range of products, from enterprise to small businesses, in an environment where differentiation is challenging and success is highly valuable, I've invited Lilach Dahan, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Kaltura. And in case some of you aren't aware, perhaps it's also time for a disclosure—Lilach and I are married, so you can imagine how our evening conversations on the couch might sound... Thanks as always to my beautiful partners in crime on creating this podcast Topaz Eitan Oryan Aviner Yair Ronen
