Some Quick Thoughts About the EU

Brussels, European Parliament, European Union 1 Minute

In the next 25 years I question how the EU will avoid marginalization between Asia and the US? The US is more dynamic and entrepreneurial. From Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook to Pinterest, the list goes on. There’s low investment cost for incorporation, 600% more skilled immigration, congruent legal and professional standards across all states, and 20% more productivity per worker/year. Asia has cheaper manufacturing, growing disposable income and a favourable investment climate. Both have higher patent rates and less labour/tax issues. Given the advances in technology and the higher gains conceivable by those who adopt faster, these facts can quickly become more pronounced.

So how will EU leadership plan to address these issues during political instability, and lack of leadership in the first place? Europeans need to realize the debate needs to be beyond national pride at this point.

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.
