The advertising industry is undergoing some serious AI fuelled disruption #MTBS

It is time for ”Private Equity” companies to go back to their original playbook: buy underperforming business, deploy talent to improve strategy execution and operations. Instead of ”load it with debt and flip it or list it” #MTBS

Given recent news, in terms of business model innovation … Ukraine kinda ”owns it” 😅 #MTBS

The notion that ”AI” is going to replace people is not supported by facts. Simply. Not. At. All. It might in future, but now, this is a massive bubble #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/finance-and-ec…

Excellent piece in the FT today about how healthcare needs an end-to-end process approach to achieve genuine improvement, rather than sprinkling technology (including AI) on top of existing ways of working. A Business Process Renaissance indeed #MTBS

BYD gives the EV industry a lesson in strategy and business model innovation … straight out of Henry Ford’s original playbook (from the FT) #MTBS

Dramatic business model re-set for railway infrastructure and services in UK! Even if you’re not a fan of nationalisation… you must admit that the private alternative failed to deliver #MTBS theguardian.com/business/2025/…

The business model ecosystem of consumer goods has done a massive ”flip” from producers to retailers #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/business/2025/…

Yup. Here it is. Dotcom 2.0. It will be great eventually, but as ever, perhaps on the back of new players, offerings and business models #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/business/2025/…

Social media, led by TikTok, upends the product and offering development of supermarkets and restaurants, as well as presenting huge challenges for producers and logistics #MTBS theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Never under estimate the power of a well managed incumbent #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/business/2025/…

Ahhh , what a business model to manage #MTBS cnn.com/2025/05/08/eur…

Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all • The Register #MTBS theregister.com/2025/04/29/gen…

Heartbreaking (but not unexpected): the tariff idiocy of the US will create a business model massacre for SMBs that source in China. And then the poison will spread up the value chain (from the FT) #MTBS

In praise of booze fuelled innovation 😂 #MTBS (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/finance-and-ec…

Google’s historic near-monopoly on search is under interesting assault by AI models. But how will OpenAI and others monetize it? #MTBS

Business models adapt to tariff insanity … of course 😅 #MTBS

Foundational AI models are not where the productivity explosion will come. The “apps” built on top of these models is where the action is. And it is buzzing with innovative activity. Wonder when we will see a Rocket Internet lookalike, copying good ideas fast (from the FT) #MTBS

The Economist is really going all in on wonderful AI use cases this week #MTBS AI models are helping dirty industries go green (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/science-and-te…

More great AI use cases #MTBS: Could data centres ever be built in orbit? (from @TheEconomist) economist.com/science-and-te…
