___

You are responsible for your company’s pricing, sales, or strategy. You are great at what you do! But when trying to optimize your pricing or predict your sales & market, you are NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED.

Why is that?

Because Pricing and Sales performance are influenced by MANY COMPLEX FACTORS:

Country & Market conditions (e.g. inflation, competition)
Product vs. Customer fit (e.g. features, segmentation)
___

For years I faced similar problems with customers and companies I worked for.

Sometimes it was inflation disturbing our pricing strategy. Recession cutting off budgets. Or competitors transforming the market landscape.

I tried to use instinct & experience, but this wasn’t enough. I analyzed tons of data with Excel or statistical software, but still, something was missing.
___

And then, I found Predictive AI!

Combining econometrics with AI models can be powerful in analyzing complex market dynamics!

I used and further developed my proprietary Predictive AI framework for 20+ years.

During this time, I leveraged this framework to:

Predict the growth of the global economy for nearly 15 years & give an early warning of the 2008 crisis
Identify major local market turnarounds for 10+ years

and helped enterprises:

Optimize their pricing
Increase their revenue and market share
Improve conversions
Change their strategy resulting in market share leadership
___

And how did I do all this?

AI runs through my “veins”! Business as well. I am combining both to bring maximum effect to enterprises.

My 25+ years professional career has given me a diverse set of experiences:

A successful journey as an entrepreneur, launching three AI startups and raising $9mn in funding

Winning deals with Fortune 500 customers worldwide

Designing and launching AI applications, including price optimization

Creating predictive models that produced successful forecasts about technology diffusion & the economy

Leading pricing, marketing, sales, and strategy functions

Top 10 Thought Leader in Predictive Analytics and Top 100 in AI (Thinkers360: check links on my profile)

My most recent endeavor, FutureUP (https://www.futureup.io), combines this extensive experience to help enterprises optimize pricing and achieve their sales & profit targets.

Scientific facts behind Dan Brown's book "Inferno" (warning to readers: spoilers)
Forecasting Net
May 24, 2016
I am a great fan of Dan Brown. I have read all of his books and enjoyed every single one of them! Great fiction and storytelling. Most of all, I always admired Brown's capacity to fuse fantastic elements with actual historical or scientific facts. This is why I decided to test his last-and one of my favorite-books, the “Inferno”.

2 Book Chapters
Financial Markets and the Global Recession-Chapter contribution: "Global Recession: Just a Glitch or Is It Here to Stay?"
Nova Science Publishers, New York · Jan 1, 2011Nova Science Publishers, New York · Jan 1, 2011
January 01, 2011
The recent credit crunch of 2008 ignited in 2009 one of the most severe economic slowdowns since the World War II. Even though there is a consensus that we have entered a serious global economic recession that will probably change the balance of power between emerging countries and Western economies, there are still many unanswered questions. What triggered the recession and what is its true nature? What are the similarities between the current recession and the Great Depression? Has the long-term growth trend of the global economy been compromised or is this recession a cyclical phenomenon? At what extent will it affect the balance of international powers? And the most important question of all: is it a random or a systematic phenomenon that we could have predicted? If so, what can we do now to minimize losses? In this book chapter, we shed some light on these questions based mainly on a recent study concerning the future of the global economy, published just a few days prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 that signaled the beginning of the credit crisis. Furthermore, by combining data from this study and other sources, we provide the reader with both qualitative and quantitative insights about the current recession.

Mobile Telephones: Networks, Applications, and Performance-Chapter contribution: "The Suitability of S-curves in Forecasting the Mobile Phone Market"
Nova Science Publishers, New York · Jan 1, 2008Nova Science Publishers, New York · Jan 1, 2008
January 01, 2008
In this book chapter, we test the suitability of s-curves in forecasting the mobile market. In order to do so we compare (a) forecasts made for China’s mobile subscriptions with data up to 2001, with actual data for years up to 2006 and (b) forecasts made for World’s mobile subscriptions with data up to 2004, with actual data for years up to 2006. China’s projections with limited data up to year 2001 gave relatively accurate estimates of mobile subscriptions with less than 8% error for 2006.In the case of World mobile subscriptions, the emergence of a second growth wave after the completion of a first one is confirmed, thus leading to a new estimate of approximately 3.5 billion subscriptions (the impact of 3G connectivity after 2007, not captured in this analysis, actually led to an even greater number of subscriptions near 4.5 billion at 2010).

Social User Experience for Effective Mobile Advertising
IGI Global, Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Third Edition, p.1415-1424 · Jan 1, 2015IGI Global, Encyclopedia of Information Scien
January 01, 2015
Mobile is the fastest growing segment on the online advertising market creating opportunities for life-enriching UX and value within this emerging marketplace (Chen & Hsieh, 2011). Mobile advertising is described as a form of advertising that is communicated to the consumer/target via a handset. This type of advertising is most commonly seen as a Mobile Web Banner (top of page), Mobile Web Poster (bottom of page), and full screen interstitial, which appears while a requested mobile web page is “loading’(Mobile Marketing Association, 2008), primarily in smartphones as well as Tablets. As mobile technology applications continue to increase, so do the number of mobile subscribers.

Forecasting “In the Pocket”: Mobile devices can improve collaboration
Foresight, Issue 32, Winter 2014, p.13-18 · Jan 1, 2014
January 01, 2014
This article presents specific approaches for the future of mobile forecasting applications. We explore how the increasing popularity of PDAs, smartphones, tablet computers, and other mobile devices opens up new opportunities for communication and collaboration on business forecasts. Furthermore, mobile forecasting applications may streamline approaches to collaboration between retailers and suppliers, thus contributing to the provision and exchange of product information, especially since forecasts are strongly tied to local context knowledge.

IS model: A general model of forecasting and its applications in science and the economy
Technological Forecasting and Social Change / Elsevier · Feb 1, 2011
February 01, 2011
In this article, a general model of Interaction Systems (IS) is introduced that can be applied to many different fields covering economic, business, social, physical, and other phenomena giving us both numerical estimates and qualitative insights of the system's dynamics. This is illustrated in two case studies. First, the IS model is applied to the global economy. The resulting model is tested against real global GDP data. The new IS model gave reliable estimates and presented a basic framework of understanding the nature of major economic shifts, including the recent global recession of 2009, by studying the dynamic relationship between demand and supply. In the other case, the IS model is applied to elementary chemical reactions in order to quantify the reaction kinetics. The result is the well known rate law of chemical reaction kinetics thus providing evidence of the proposed model's validity.

The future of the global economy
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Elsevier · Sep 1, 2008
September 01, 2008
*Ranked No 2 most downloaded paper in the journal for the period Jan - Mar 2009
*Top 20% of citations in the journal as of June 2013

In this paper we use the assumption that global activity, as measured by real GDP, follows the well known s-curve function. Also, in order to model the relative power of specific regions, we use the Logistic Substitution method. Estimates from the derived models are tested against actual data and linked to real historical events where appropriate. According to the paper, the global economy follows a two-century growth wave, from 1917 to 2112, attributed to globalization. This period is equally divided into five phases called “seasons” that last nearly 40 years and constitute successive periods of growth, saturation, and decline. Almost every forty years, near the middle of each season, there is a peak point that initiates a cyclical slowdown of the global economy. The cyclical downtrend occurs when the economy “overshoots” i.e. when the ratio between actual and estimated GDP is at maximum. The first two cyclical slowdowns occurred in 1937, near the start of World War II and in 1975, near the outburst of the oil crisis. The next cyclical peak occurs in 2013, very close to the ongoing global economic crisis. Furthermore, the paper concludes that China's emergence as a superpower could have been predicted even as way back as 1985 by using the Logistic Substitution method. Although China will continue to grow, in terms of percentage contribution to global GDP, by the year 2024 it is expected to enter a substitution phase, as our world will most likely experience the emergence of a new “superpower” that will take its place, and once more will change the international landscape as we know it today.

December 01, 2005
*Ranked No 3 most downloaded paper in the journal for the period Apr - Jun 2007
*Top 5% of citations in the journal as of June 2013

In this article we use the assumption that the diffusion of mobile technology, as measured by the number of active mobile accounts, follows the well known S-curve of natural growth in competition systems. The accuracy of the logistic fit is tested against actual data for the whole World, Europe, China and the GSM system. Using the produced models we make predictions about the future of the mobile business.

What makes the economy tick - Part IV - US vs. USSR rivalry

June 15, 2015
Although the history and implications of the Cold War between the US and the USSR are well documented, it is still not quite clear why it ended up as it did, with the collapse of the Soviet Bloc and a clear win for the US.

Using a methodology presented in the recent post, “What makes our world and the economy tick?”, we will examine the US vs. USSR rivalry from a different perspective, by focusing on the progress made in the following key areas: Information flow, Transportation, Telecommunications, and Freedom of speech. This will help us identify the key competitive advantages of the two countries that-to a large extent-determined the outcome of this war.

Although the marvels of Ancient Greece are common knowledge today, it is still not quite clear what triggered this important period of development.

What makes our world and the economy tick? Part II: China vs. The West
Forecasting Net
September 17, 2014
China’s recent growth frenzy should not be a surprise. Its economy has been one of the largest in the world in the last two thousand years, reaching a peak point near the beginning of the 19th century, accounting for almost one third of the global economy at the time. However, by the mid-20th century the Chinese Empire and its economy collapsed to a mere 5% contribution to global GDP only to rise again after Deng Xiaoping assumed power in 1977. Key in understanding these economic cycles is the level of interaction of the Chinese economy, both inside and outside the country.

In this post, we will use the methodology presented in the recent post, “What makes our world and the economy tick?”, to explain China’s recent economic rise and also ascertain its future potential based on the progress made in the following key areas: Information flow, Transportation, Telecommunications, and Freedom of speech.
