The article highlights an agile business strategy: testing multiple ideas ("throwing spaghetti at the wall") to see what works, focusing on client excellence, adaptability, and innovation in a fast-changing business world.

November 2024:

Trying to remember a key learning from Greek philosopher Aristotle:
To persuade others you need a combination of Ethos, Pathos and Logos. 

You need to establish your credibility to discuss any subject. You need rational arguments. And you need to be inspiring and emotional to bring your message across.

October 2024:

Visiting TechWeek, Marina Bay Sands Expo. A huge technology event for business in Asia. You definitely get the impression that the world stands on the brink of a tech revolution - however, the event seemed to be more focused on the tech side itself, rather than the business opportunities or disruptive impact on human kind.
