Businesses are feeling the impact of climate change, but location matters. Nearly half of executives surveyed by MIT Technology Review and MEDC named the Midwest as the region least exposed to climate risks. With a strong economy, sustainable investments, and natural climate resilience, Michigan is becoming a top choice for business expansion. #MakeItinMichigan

Global Ties Thrilled to see this announcement about the new economic partnership between State of Michigan and the UAE, especially with our key partners Michigan Economic Development Corporation and the University of Michigan in the mix!

Duggan saw firsthand the UAE’s commitment to clean energy solutions and economic diversification. This partnership is an opportunity to exchange knowledge, drive investment, and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future—one that benefits both Michigan and the UAE. #EconomicPartnership #GlobalInnovation #EnergyTransition #Michigan #UAE #MEDC #Mobility #CleanEnergy

Previewing what Kerry C. Duggan will be talking about next week: Breaking Groupthink, Building Stronger Teams—And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever At Energy Security Partners, we help organizations challenge assumptions, sharpen strategy, and build resilience in a rapidly changing landscape. Whether they’re multinational corporations, think tanks, or climate tech innovators, we set them up for success. One of our most powerful tools? Red Teaming—a strategic approach that helps organizations think more clearly, question their own ideas, and make better decisions in high-stakes situations. Too often, groups fall into groupthink—agreeing too quickly without truly testing if their ideas are the best ones. We work to break that pattern by challenging assumptions, considering alternative viewpoints, and pressure-testing strategies before major decisions are made. Think of it as a mental workout for smarter decision-making—because the best teams don’t just work hard, they think critically. Join me next week for this discussion—the stakes are too high for poor decisions. Need this in your shop? [email protected]

Navigating the Clean Unknown Saying the clean energy and sustainability sectors are experiencing upheaval is an understatement. Evolving regulations, seemingly daily policy changes, and restrictive and fragile supply chains are just a few of what we face. How can organizations navigate these choppy waters? We're huge fans of Red Team Analysis. It's easy to fall into, "groupthink", overlook vulnerabilities, or diminish front line insights. Red teams, challenge assumptions, identify blind spots, and stress-test strategies before they encounter real-world obstacles. Why is this more critical now than ever? * Unpredictable Policy Changes: Government incentives, subsidies, and regulations can shift dramatically, impacting project viability and ROI. Red teams model these scenarios and help organizations prepare for different policy landscapes. * Technological Disruption: Breakthroughs in energy storage, renewable generation, and other green technologies are happening at lightning speed. Red teams assess the potential impact of these disruptions on existing business models and identify opportunities for innovation. * Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Red teams help organizations identify potential bottlenecks, diversify sourcing, and build more resilient supply chains for critical materials and components. Red Team Analysis isn't about pessimism; it's about preparedness. It's about building strategies that can withstand uncertainty and capitalize on opportunities. #cleanenergy #sustainability #redteam #strategy #riskmanagement #innovation #futureofenergy #greentech #resilience #uncertainty
