In a recent Kellogg Faculty in Focus article (link in comments), Professor Joel Shapiro says, "Real value from data comes when we ask good questions, think critically, use good tech and communicate effectively." Data is critical to your story, to sales, to supporting your customers - it is at the core of everything we do. But how can we make sense of and best use all this data? Our program with Professor Shapiro, Advanced Analytics for Sales Leaders, teaches sales professionals and leaders how to integrate data into their daily processes to get the right salespeople doing the right things for the right customers.

The 2024 NVCA Yearbook is out, and there are a few tidbits about the VC landscape 💴 ▪️More Places to Pitch: There's been a slight increase in investments made outside of Silicon Valley and other traditional tech hubs. Cities across the Midwest and South are seeing more VC activity, which could drive regional innovation. Not Seattle, though. Do better, PNW. ▪️Sluggish Fundraising, More Dry Powder: Although fundraising did not pick up steam in 2023, the amount of dry powder held by the industry ticked up slightly to $311 billion. It's out there, waiting to be deployed. ▪️The Old Normal: Corporate investors are still active-ish. CVC and family office investments were down but remain a significant minority of the deals and dollars committed in VC. ▪️Sustainable is Sizzling: ESG factors increasingly matter for deal-makers. More venture firms are making sustainability an investment focus area/criteria. Not-So-New Money: AI, biotech, and clean energy investing have been hot for a while. This isn’t breaking news, but it’s increasingly true. ▪️Risky and Safe: The current economic climate poses numerous challenges but also plenty of opportunities. Market volatility has made exiting more difficult but has also created attractive entry points for strong founders that could bear fruit later. All 91 pages of the 2024 NVCA Yearbook is below👇

Not having ample checks and balances is just bad governance, but course correct too much and a company can just lose its momentum completely. Toyota Motor Corporation is at a crucial juncture, and how they navigate this transition will shape their future. Thank you to The New York Times for featuring my thoughts along with other experts on Toyota's critical leadership transition. This piece underscores the complexities of corporate governance and the delicate balance required in succession planning.

Whether intentional or not, Bain & Company is becoming a MAJOR player in K12 education with investments at the infrastructure, data, and application layers. They are primed to be a major player in an AI-enabled education future! Just in the last ~12 months: -Infra layer: Bain Capital Double Impact Fund LP invested in Meteor Education, the largest flexible furniture provider for classrooms across America. Think about how that might enable the instrumentation of AI... -Data layer: Bain Capital is acquiring PowerSchool, the largest Student Information System in K12. Think about how that might power AI-driven insights - from attendence to outcomes... -App layer: Bain Capital Ventures led the latest round in MagicSchool AI, the leading AI platform for educators and learners. Think about how that might power AI-enabled use cases around teaching and learning... You will note that all of these entities are different, so is there an overarching thesis driving these investments? I have no idea, but probably worth these teams all talking to each other at a minimum!

I am often asked by Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management students and executives during my leadership talks, “Why do companies make so many BIG mistakes?” Since it happens so often, it is a very fair question. Simply look at the The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, or Financial Times, and almost daily you will find a story about a company blunder and think to yourself: “The company did what?!?! How and why did that happen???”🤔 The usual quick guess as to why it happens is, “Well, it’s simple. The CEO just made a mistake.” However, take a minute to reflect on this issue. The answer is not that easy. First of all, remember, the CEO usually has an executive management team of at least 10-12 people. So how did they all let the mistake happen? Wasn’t there anyone on the team capable of stepping up and stopping the mistake from occurring? Well, I believe there are two major contributors to the problem: One is the process by which the CEO makes decisions, and the other is how the senior team defines their roles. Let’s look at an example. Assume I am the CEO, and I tell the senior leadership team, “This is what I want to do.” Hopefully, what I meant to say is, “This is what I want to do IF IT MAKES SENSE,” and encourage the team to challenge me if they think what I want to do doesn’t make sense. However, if as the leader I don’t make it clear that I want to be challenged, we run into the second problem: How does the team react to my statement? Unfortunately, my observation is that if it appears the CEO does not want to be challenged, many on the team start to define their job as “make the boss happy.” They think to themselves, “I don’t really understand why he wants to make that decision, but I am certainly not going to challenge him. The CEO must know more than me.” And by the way, if the last three team members who challenged the CEO are no longer with the company, it should surprise nobody if the current team does not want to challenge the CEO.

MIT education for $2000 While providing Consulting and Training services for a large capital goods manufacturing MNC, we realized that the mid-level and Senior Management team is showing tremendous interest in learning and adopting AI & ML technologies. This appetite to constantly learn and update oneself has become the need of the hour especially at the Senior levels in Organizations. How does a Senior Management professional keep abreast of the latest developments without having to invest huge amounts in 'fancy degrees' offered by premium business schools? Scott Young has the right solution. He undertakes interesting self-education projects, such as attempting to learn MIT's four-year computer science curriculum in twelve months and learning four languages in one year. Here's his YouTube video on answers to common questions on how he achieved this without taking any classes!! To me, this approach seems to be the future of learning. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/gSKQPSNr

As the legacy universities in the US lose their luster, Forbes rolls out the list of 'new Ivy League universities'. The American business magazine comprehensively evaluated universities based on key parameters including admissions selectivity and employer satisfaction. The 'new ivies' have been bucketed into private ivies and public ivies as follows: Private Ivies: Boston College, Carnegie Mellon University, Emory University, Georgetown University, The Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, Rice University, University of Notre Dame, University of Southern California and Vanderbilt University. Public Ivies: Binghamton University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Florida, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, The University of Texas at Austin, University of Virginia and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Do you agree that the traditional Ivy League universities are losing their standing? Let me know your views in the comments section.

Prof. Dr. Julia Krause
Early 2000s. I'm a student. Sitting in the lecture hall. The professor walks in and announces: "From today on, our course will no longer be called Logistics; it will be called SCM." I am absolutely thrilled! The term "SCM" sounds like strategy, responsibility, challenge, and leadership. 💪 But! Is it really that simple❓ In the last 5 years, I have been teaching my students that #SCM includes not just #logistics, but also #procurement and inventory management. Today, over a dozen years later, I find the term outdated and no longer adequate, as modern business management encompasses FAR MORE than just SCM. 👉 It's not just about supply; it's about creating #value, both within and beyond my supply chain. 👉 The "chain" in SCM is too limiting. We are dealing with multidimensional networks whose complexities we have to master. 👉 And "management" today sounds too passive. It implies merely managing what already exists and coordinating what is given. I, however, want to emphasize the active, transformative side of procurement and SCM. If we approach SCM strategically and see it holistically we do not just buy but actively shape and create — our processes, but also those of our suppliers and customers, our products, services, and business models, our entire enterprise. The language and the terms we use shape our perceptions and the significance of our activities. That’s why I dreamed and irritated 😀 my audience at #SustainableProcurement Summit 2024 a.o. with the idea of transforming "Supply Chain Management" to "Value Network Creation." From #SCM to #VNC! 🚀 Embrace transformation in our thinking and our actions! Let’s strive for #HolisticSustainability! P.S. Was happy to experience this forward-thinking community and to have some insightful conversations with so many change-makers during, after the summit and at The Lilies'. P.S. Enjoyed also our final panel discussion and Q&A Session with the inspiring Astrid Boston from The Sustainable Procurement Pledge and the very experienced Olaf Stange. P.S. Thank you to all the trailblazers who were curious, asked questions, and made everyone feel welcome. Looking forward to more great discussions and collaborative actions with all of you!

I first Meredith Sumpter in 2021 at a gathering of sustainability CEOs organized by FCLTGlobal and the CFA Institute. At the time, she was CEO of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism and Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism, two organizations that brought investor and industry leading CEOs together around sustainability reforms for market impact. With this focus on the “bottom line” business benefits of ESG, Meredith grew the Inclusive Capitalism community from 25 to nearly 600 CEOs across sectors in the three years of her leadership tenure, while undertaking market reform work around Just Transition, social disclosure, and asset owner and asset manager contractual obligations. Since then Meredith and I have become good friends due to a broad range of common interests regarding companies and investors in the increasingly politicized U.S. environment. Meredith stepped back from Inclusive Capitalism late last year. This spring she took up the CEO role at FairVote, a non-partisan organization that is advancing the fastest-growing election reform in the United States. I was curious about her move from sustainability to election reform. I asked her if she would be willing to do an interview with me and she kindly agreed. I'm glad she did! While I had a basic understand of ranked choice voting, I really didn't understand much about it and why it's important. I learned this from my interview with Meredith. A key thing I learned is how, if applied at scale (including the election of the U.S. President), ranked choice voting would help decrease political polarization in America. This polarization is a (the?) major contributor to the "ESG Culture Wars" here. So much of what's going in red states with their anti-ESG legislation is so non-sensensical and economically bad for their own citizens, that this flailing against ESG by that name will eventually go away. What won't go away is dealing with systemic issues like climate change. This is a major front in the ESG Culture Wars. Rapid adoption of ranked choice voting wouldn't be a silver bullet to developing necessary government policies regarding climate change but it would certainly help. In our interview Meredith explains why ranked choice voting is important to the business community. She also notes that only a tenth of a tenth of a percent of U.S. philanthropy goes to elections and democracy reform. To be blunt, FairVote needs money 💰. Towards that end they are holding a 2024 FairVote Awards Fundraiser on June 3 in New York City. https://lnkd.in/e5_bYK2X Those who attend will have the opportunity to meet Meredith and many Democratic, Independent, and Republican leaders who are working to get ranked choice voting implemented across the U.S., from the municipal to the country level. I'm also sure Meredith would appreciate any other help, suggestions, and involvement. https://lnkd.in/e7zn2AuE

The perils of going direct to consumer. This is an excellent @WallStreetJournal piece on what happened when #NIKE decided to cut out wholesalers and retailers - and go direct via its own channels. Yes - it maintained more control of the consumer, more data and more margin. No - it didn't sell more shoes (in fact fewer) or make more money. Partners matter in retail.

𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘆? The consumer has spoken and still doesn't feel so good, if you believe the Michigan Sentiment Index. I'm not surprised, as the price surge of recent years must first be digested by the US consumer's wallet, but we humans adapt over time. Let's take a look at inflation expectations - both in the long term (Graph 1) and in the short term (Graph 2) they are plus/minus around the 20-year average. The bottom line is that if we continue to be patient, the glass will remain half full in my view and investors should not be rattled by stock market setbacks of 3% to 7%. Is the glass half full or half empty for you? Or even completely empty? #full #empty #sentiment #usconsumer #lookingbeyond #thomaswille

Tough to argue with this list though, just pay attention to ROI. Should You Give Up Your Salary and Go to Grad School? Well, that darn MBA degree still has a great ROI...“Over their lifetime, an MBA grad can expect to earn $3M more than someone w/ only a bachelor’s.” Great ROI!?...At about 98% of universities that offer MBAs, grads typically made more money 2 years out of school than they had borrowed. That stands in contrast to law schools, where roughly 6% of programs had grads w/ higher median earnings than debt in the same time frame. Note, the MBA route requires careful thought. See: https://lnkd.in/gGAx4QyK. Five reasons why CEOs need to drive supply chain excellence from the top: “Some of the world’s leading CEOs today emerged from supply chain roles. Many have carried over their relentless focus on supply chain excellence into their leadership approach, proving to be invaluable in recent times….A deep understanding of supply chain issues is now a critical skill set for any C-suite leader.” https://lnkd.in/gVXyzaEn. I had a student ask: Shouldn’t I major in Finance or Accounting if I want to become a CEO? I said: Well, being able to talk CFO talk is critical to long term success, but you might want to give this supply chain thing some thought… https://lnkd.in/ganuUD6r Note, (I encourage my SCM students to get an Accounting minor): College Accounting to me feels like Supply Chain Finance. The Accounting Minor for SCM Majors seems like a great fit & has grown on me. Long term in your careers, understanding SCM Finance will be critical…https://lnkd.in/gBPZJsVq. https://lnkd.in/guejd-vi. Two classes in our Accounting minor, good fit for SCM types, right?: 3220: Cost & Managerial Accounting and ACTY 4220: Cost Mgmt & Analytics. FYI, we make EVERY business major take FIN 3200 - Business Finance Decisions. More: https://lnkd.in/gtUMdsiT.

Suzan Brinker, PhD
Chaotic decision-making will kill higher-ed marketing campaigns. Let me explain. Over the years, working with presidents, chancellors, and VPs of strategy—I've seen the tug-of-war among conflicting voices. → VPs might insist on focusing on in-state, first-generation students. → Board members might emphasize overseas recruitment. → Faculty may push for continuing education. And this makes prioritization a challenge. It also creates a chaotic decision-making environment. To solve this, we created a robust, data-driven framework. One that aligns strategic efforts with market demands and competitive actions. Here's what that 3-pronged approach looks like: 1. Quantify and Evaluate Assess the potential ROI from different audience segments based on solid data. 2. Strategically Allocate Resources Decide how much time, effort, and energy to invest in each segment, ensuring optimal use of resources. 3. Unified Communication Equip leadership with the tools to explain and justify these decisions to all stakeholders. By implementing this framework, we saw a big improvement in communication. Higher ed leaders could strategically say 'yes' or 'no' to various stakeholders. It provided a clear rationale for our choices and enabled us to present a unified strategy. With this strategy in place, I can confidently present our data-backed decisions to stakeholders, demonstrating why our targeted approach is the best way forward. This streamlines our efforts and secures broader buy-in, paving the way for more focused and effective engagement with our key audiences. More buy-in, less drawback.

I am not a huge fan of academic rankings, but then again, I am the first to brag if we get ranked. Tough to argue with this list though, just pay attention to ROI. Note, in some rankings (i.e., USNWR), multiple schools do NOT actually have undergraduate degrees in SCM (but they are ranked). For example: https://lnkd.in/e-VGScR8. Should You Give Up Your Salary and Go to Grad School? Well, that darn MBA degree still has a great ROI... “Over their lifetime, an MBA grad can expect to earn $3M more than someone w/ only a bachelor’s.” Great ROI!?...At about 98% of universities that offer MBAs, grads typically made more money 2 years out of school than they had borrowed. That stands in contrast to law schools, where roughly 6% of programs had grads w/ higher median earnings than debt in the same time frame. Note, the MBA route requires careful thought. See: https://lnkd.in/gGAx4QyK A nice career guide from Harvard to help with resumes, interviewing, getting offers, etc. For more help, pasted below are links from Yale, MIT, & WMU (112 pages of ideas). Should college grads negotiate a job offer (i.e., a higher starting salary)? Yes, but only if you know how to negotiate. My thoughts: https://lnkd.in/gCFxVvQQ.
