The Face of Business Inclusion in a Post COVID-19 World
Coruzant Technologies
May 18, 2020
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines inclusion as “the act of including: the state of being included”. Thus, by its very definition those not included are excluded and herein lies the rub. For the financial and service sectors, and greater society, solving the inclusion/exclusion problem has profound implications for how we emerge from the pandemic and transition effectively to the COVID-19 economy.

What do Avocados have in common with Amazon, External Partnerships and Ecosystem Investing?
LinkedIn
February 11, 2020
"What do Avocados have in common with Amazon, External Partnerships and Ecosystem Investing?" is my latest article. Yesterday, in Business Development: The New Frontier for Customer Acquisition & Client Engagement https://lnkd.in/eYgHWEG, I examined how ecosystem investing (EI) and external partnerships were the way forward for large firms and enterprises to be forces for good, rainmakers and innovators. A way to be at the epicenter of accelerating transactions, fast-tracking growth and navigating change. Today, in a shorter piece, I highlight the works of Merkle’s Janine Flaccavento and Danielle Waller. Both Flaccavento and Waller bring to light the vast opportunities external partnerships and business ecosystems can bring to your business and relationships. I encourage you to read on and learn more. Thank you!

No Silver Bullet for Small Commercial Carriers. UNTIL NOW.
LinkedIn
August 27, 2019
Caribou Honig, cofounder InsurTech Connect, sees new companies from outside the industry coming to insurance, law, and other professions with fresh business models that give firms the ability to offer new products with far reaching capabilities and benefits to customers for free. These firms, like DealRockit, not only want to help you succeed but will also help align and grow your ecosystem in a hurry. Honig says these are the ones to get close to and pounce on “because that’s where the action is really going to happen.”

Tick-Tock the Boss is on the Clock - Devising an Exit Strategy for Small Business Owners
The Entrust Group
September 10, 2015
I am often asked by business owners about succession and exit planning. The harsh reality is that the landscape is littered with leaders and owners who chose – yes chose – to imperil their legacy and family’s security. Some failed to change and sought refuge in denial and inertia. Others convinced themselves that they had changed or that everyone else needed to change. Regardless of the circumstances, this is the time to demonstrate change leadership by being visible and supportive while taking a step back in the planning and leading the implementation.

Why Jamie Dimon Has a Better Prognosis Than Owners of Closely Held Businesses
HuffPost
July 06, 2014
The business world has been abuzz with succession speculation at JPMorgan Chase following the jaw-dropping announcement that its leader, Jamie Dimon, has throat cancer. Fortunately, in Mr. Dimon’s own words, it appears the cancer has been caught in time with the future prognosis being “excellent” — both for Mr. Dimon and succession at JPMorgan Chase. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the state of succession at most closely held businesses. If succession was a disease, it would be moved to the top of the critical list. The situation is that bad.

HuffPost
June 27, 2014
Bankruptcy, like growth, masks ills. Mary Barra, the embattled CEO of GM, knows this all too well. She has staked both her future and GM’s on changing corporate culture. Yet, in the wake of more recalls, hostile congressional committees and the bombshell Valukas Report, Ms. Barra must recognize that even rougher days are ahead if she chooses to stay the course. It’s time for Ms. Barra to become Mary, Mary Quite Contrary.
