Helping CEOs & Top Teams Be At The Speed Of The Customer? | Author, Speaker, Educator, Board Advisor
This is a busy June note pad from me. This will take you from Twitter, TikTok, Tesla, Ford, Starbucks, Dynamic NFTs, and Paul McCartney. So pick up your mug of coffee (Or a glass of Grenache) and read away! | You can also read more on work here.
With everything Twitter and Musk in the news, I decode it through my lens of agility for you. Twitter had and has four directional choices. What is baffling is that these choices existed even when Jack Dorsey was the CEO. His successor Parag Agrawal merely inherited these choices and the lack of decision making left behind.
Would Elon Musk have done the same hostile take over act if Jack Dorsey was the CEO? After all a number of content moderation decisions and lack of growth issues were under Jack. Or is there more to this timing? - Hari Abburi
Why has Twitter been unable to capitalize on being the 3rd most used daily platform? One, the choices below explain it, second the demographic volume as compared to TikTok.
Well, Snoop nailed it. In #snoopbuystwitter snippet, he covers the disfunctionality of the Twitter Board, the co-relation between usage and demographics and not making the blue tick or the bots the central issue to monetization. It shows how the 'distraction economy' based business model has propelled TikTok and its impact on multiple industries.
Single industry thinking is dead. And it does not take either Musk or Snoop to realize this. - Hari Abburi
Back to the Four Choices (& Two problems) Twitter had and still has:
These opportunities are in the face of two-dimensional problem: Tapered growth and transition from Founder led to a Professional led company. Listen to my view in this 4-Minute clip on Caltech Curious & Cuirky:
Elon Musk should ‘make Twitter a streaming service alternative:
I think what should be done with it is, let me ask everybody who's watching right now. Amazon is a lot different than the company we met 25 years ago. Netflix is crazy different than the way we met it. We used to send CDs in the mail to watch it. Facebook is different. Google is different. Everything is different, except for Twitter. Twitter is basically the same product we met in 2006. - GARY VAYNERCHUK on Yahoo Finance
I CO-FOUNDED A DYNAMIC NFT FOR EDUCATION & LEARNING
Introducing MyLearningNFT
Peter C. Evans and I Co-Founded this path breaking dynamic NFT: MyLearningNFT. I had the pleasure to introduce to the participants of the SHRM Tech22 Conference in Hyderabad, India in May 2002. Know more.
Welcome to MyLearningNFT?
MylearningNFT is a path breaking dynamic NFT that will keep changing its status based on how you learn after successful completion of a course, a learning event, or a conference. Based on the learning actions a participant takes, the NFT appreciates in value, if not it depreciates in value.?
MyLearningNFT and??smart contract applications
Most non fungible tokens (NFTs) are static.??They do not change.??However, with the application of layer 2 smart contract technology, it is possible to deploy unique tokens that are recorded to the blockchain with traits and data?that can be changed because of learning actions taken by token holders.
At MyLearningNFT, we are leveraging these smart contract properties to develop a dynamic NFT that can provide significant value to individuals and organizations.?

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY IN THE HOUSE!
Beatles is probably one of the first to realize and use design as a centric principle in both writing songs as well communicating that with their fans. That is why they continue to be iconic and multi-generational.
All of their songs had a singable story with simplicity at its heart. This combined with Beatles eclectic art of Yellow Submarine or Sgt. Peppers Band makes it what it is even today.
& Imagine has been played in so many Olympic Opening Ceremonies across the world.
Hey Jude! is always the perfect closing song you can ever have to a concert that went on for an extended time past midnight to a packed audience of 80,000 people for 3.5 hours. I was in absolute McCartney heaven:
A REVISIT TO STARBUCKS CEO SUCCESSION
In my previous note, I did cover some challenges for Starbucks and suggested CEO picks. I came across this WSJ article by Heather Haddon on that 'Starbucks is seeking fresh blood in CEO Search'.
“For the future of the company, we need a domain of experience and expertise in a number of disciplines that we don’t have now,” Mr. Schultz said during an interview at the company’s headquarters. “It requires a different type of leader.” - Howard Schultz
To be agile, either Start-Ups or Legacy players focus on acquiring capabilities that are dissimilar of unnatural them or their industry. So what are these for Starbucks? - Hari Abburi
We have seen this over and over again by successful companies that disrupt the market and are ahead of the curve to their customers. Walmart's foray into Fintech is another such example.
OH, EV's AGAIN
Ford, Musk and Tesla have been in the news, thanks to President Biden's, 'Lots of luck on his trip to the moon' response to a reporter.
In my December 2021 notes from the sidelines of Los Angeles Auto Show 2021, I focused on electrifying design in the age of EVs. I wrote that Ford will be the market leader in EV's by 2025. It is well on track to accomplish that. The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a great car and is something for Tesla to reckon with:
