Pledged aid to Ukraine averages about $8/month per citizen ($400 per citizen since 2022). The cost of a Netflix subscription… less than a blue check on X. Most of that is used buying American materials. The baltics are contributing $2000+ a citizen. Source: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... .
I went to dozens and dozens of Flames games in person in Calgary spanning 25 or so years before seeing them win in the Saddledome. Saw them win on the road many times. But not at home in the ‘dome until I went with my son. The curse can be real. 😂
How can a three-ingredient sauce made by about 250 people on one Louisiana island reach 160-plus countries, when strategy says global reach requires building a big organization? What does the work the organization normally does? #Globalization #ValueDensity #Tobasco
Never underestimate the power of collective consumer action. One person boycotting a company makes little difference. Thousands or millions doing it can change corporate decisions faster than many governments.
Canada just committed $900M for Ukraine at the NATO summit in Turkey. For perspective - Since then war started (and thru April 2026) Canada has committed $451 per Canadian. We rank 14th out of 40 countries. This is $105 per year per citizen (about $8.50 a month). The same as a blue check on X
Not entirely unhappy Netherlands and Morocco are playing in overtime (is that a soccer term?), in hot and humid Mexico, after 1-1 in regulation. Hope the winner is drained when they play Canada Sunday in #Htown! #CANmnt #goCanadaGo #fifa16
I have spent 25 years measuring how companies really work. Silos always cost more than anyone admits, slowing decisions and quietly raising your wage bill. Here is the part nobody tracks. You cannot fix what you cannot see. Read this HBR article: "How to Lead Across a Siloed Organization".
Talk about stepping in dog poop. Vancouver based NovaRed mining appoints Kristi Noem to their board. Backlash and scrutiny is huge. Unfortunately for #novared it’s a junk stock. They likely couldn’t get anyone better. From their investor presentation… PS: Do your own research before investing.
Would appreciate a repost (here and on that other site - for @resistNowCanada. It’s a tool I built) Want a separatist platform, Premier? Call an election. Let Albertans vote on it. Send RESISTNOW by text to 825-425-2491. A single message from you. Thousands hit her desk. Takes 30 secs. #ableg
Culture acceptance. A task may sit in the "no regrets" zone on paper. Low risk, explicit data, perfect for AI to handle alone. But if your board bristles at automation and every output needs three reviewers, you've shoved it into "quality control" by force. Capability there. Throughput isn't.
Most businesses ask the wrong question. They ask customers what they want in a product. They tweak features. They survey. And sales stay flat. Clayton Christensen's milkshake study at Harvard cracked this open. 1/3
Studying quantitative research methods in my DBA this weekend and realizing: most of what gets called "data-driven decision making" is just correlation dressed up as causation. The gap between those two things is enormous. #DBA #DoctoralStudent #HaskayneBusinessSchool
The window to be an "early mover" in AI adoption is closing. While 78% of businesses not using AI claim it is "not relevant," data suggests that AI-fluent teams are already outperforming their peers in speed, capacity, and cost efficiency.
95 percent of GenAI pilots fail - not because AI is broken, but because companies remove the friction that creates value. MIT research shows a widening GenAI divide. Most teams rely on generic tools that demo well but collapse in real workflows.
Gartner predicts AI-first companies will outperform peers by 25% by 2028 AI-first is clearly a competitive edge - but it’s not just tech, it’s transformation. Success depends on embedding AI into how decisions are made. What role should HR play in shaping that shift?
An excerpt from my new book "AI for HR Leaders". AI lets skilled people do more, faster, by cutting busywork and helping good judgment scale Get your copy today: a.co/d/ek9Uzac
AI amplifies what already exists — good or bad. Smart leaders balance speed with depth, experts with novices, and direction with discovery. AI is a tool. Meaning, mastery, and momentum still come from humans.
AI isn’t a feature. It’s a foundation. #AIstrategy #BusinessLeadership #DigitalShift #TechTrends #FutureReady
Is your team trained on AI? If not, what are you waiting for? Excerpt from my latest book: “AI for HR Leaders” available here: a.co/d/7HcaKGh

Business isn’t about guessing…. it’s about clarity. Track the data. Test assumptions. Let facts guide decisions, not feelings. Emotion builds stories. Data builds results.
Mid-market companies (100–999 employees) face big-company HR challenges—without the same budget. They need scalable, flexible consulting that brings structure, modern tools, and strategic guidance without enterprise-level complexity.
Businesses thrive on stability. When policies shift too often or seem unpredictable, investment slows, hiring pauses, and growth stalls. If policy makers want strong economies, they must create environments where businesses can plan long-term… with clarity, not chaos.
Thinking today of those who served and especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Lest we forget #remembranceDay
Microsoft just released a list: AI threatens jobs with repetitive tasks, clear procedures, and low creative demand. Roles requiring human insight, complex communication, or adaptability are safer. Evolve your skills or risk being replaced by an algorithm.
