Presentation: Communication Principles

Do to fundamental market shifts; organizations now find themselves operating within increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). As a result, there are fewer markets with unknown opportunities and places to hide during market turbulence. Business, both big and small, will need to shift their thinking on what work, strategy, and creativity are. The majority of processes deployed at organizations are superficial and lead to a marginal compared, if any, competitive advantage, or built on assumptions that are no longer relevant or accurate. At Walmart, I work on machine intelligence to optimize corporate strategy and business processes for the VUCA age. By analyzing market trends and strategic frameworks with machine intelligence and algorithms, I've come to the conclusion that competitive advantage lay in the embrace of complexity, faster information to action times, and the unorthodox, as well as being agnostic to how an entity makes money or reacts to markets - especially for asset-rich businesses. This site is meant to house some of my research and thinking in the above areas. The views and comments expressed here are my own and do not represent companies I have worked for or with.
