Even as inflation eases in some geographies, growth leaders know pricing management needs to remain high on the leadership agenda. Taking a proactive approach to pricing management is critical to navigate successfully through macroeconomic changes.      My colleagues Boudewijn Driedonks, Tjark Freundt, Jimmy Joy, and Stefano Zerbi assess the impact of inflation and pricing in recent years on companies’ performance in this thoughtful new perspective on pricing. They assess how performance differs by geography, industry, and place in the value chain. This is a great read for companies seeking a more sure-footed approach to pricing, going forwards.      #Pricing #PricingStrategy #Growth

Getting ahead on national AI adoption and innovation takes hard work. Falling behind could take only a moment of hesitation. This is the warning from Google based on our new study on the economic potential of generative AI in the Netherlands, conducted by our team in Implement Consulting Group. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟: The Netherlands has consistently led AI adoption and development within Europe. Consequently, The Netherlands is well placed to capture the benefits of the new wave of AI. Our analysis identifies that generative AI could boost the Netherlands' GDP by €80-85 billion over the next ten years, assuming widespread adoption. This represents a potential increase of up to 9% in GDP. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗞: However, capturing these potentials will require further action. A delay in adopting and developing generative AI could significantly reduce its economic benefits—from a potential 9% increase in GDP to just 2%. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: To fully capture AI's potential, strategic policy initiatives must be implemented. Recommendations for the Netherlands include: ⚡ Enhance AI research and development: Increase investment in AI research and foster innovation ecosystems by supporting public-private partnerships and academia-industry collaborations. ⚡ Upskill and reskill the workforce: Implement robust programs to upskill and reskill the workforce, especially targeting sectors and jobs most susceptible to transformation or displacement by AI technologies. ⚡ Strengthen AI infrastructure and accessibility: Invest even in digital infrastructure to support AI technologies, ensuring that advanced computational resources are accessible to businesses of all sizes, including startups and SMEs.

Scale-ups play a crucial role in economies through innovation and job creation, but scaling up in times of geopolitical and economic instability presents formidable challenges. Investors might hesitate to invest in smaller firms and top talent can prefer the security of larger organizations. To clarify the challenges and key focuses of scale-ups, Deloitte conducted a survey with 50 such companies in the Netherlands, aiming to provide valuable insights into their growth trajectories, the obstacles they confront, and their strategic outlook. Here are some key highlights: ◾ Dutch scale-ups are now more confident about future growth than they were in 2023 ◾ Biggest challenges relate to talent (40%) and liquidity (38%) ◾ Most scale-ups want to expand their headcount, but they face obstacles ◾ More Dutch scale-ups are confident they can raise more funding #scaleups, #innovation, #Netherlands, #talent, #liquidity, #growth, #investments
