People love to quote the pre-socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus about change. Yet pithy aphorisms like "Change is the only constant" and "You cannot step into the same river twice," are popular because they are so imprecise. They point to, as Kafka put it, some fabulous yonder, something unknown to us, something too that he cannot designate more precisely, and therefore cannot help us here in the very least.

It is clear that Europe lags the USA in producing high growth innovative large companies. Europe does not have rivals to Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Nvidia, Netflix, Meta, Microsoft and Tesla. However, there are many small companies that are doing surprisingly well and some large ones which are more innovative than you might think. Identifying the “most innovative” large companies in Europe involves evaluating several factors, including new products and services, entrepreneurial culture

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have revolutionized how we interact with technology, making tasks faster and more efficient. But as the convenience of these tools grows, so does a pressing question: are they impacting our ability to think critically? A new study titled AI Tools in Society: Impacts on Cognitive Offloading and the Future of Critical Thinking delves into this, examining how AI tools influence critical thinking through a phenomenon called cognitive offloading.

AI agent autonomy is a conundrum. In many cases, supervision is needed in the form of a human in the loop to avoid disaster. Yet, you lose productivity gains if you impose excessive supervision on your agent. Too little latitude, and the agents capabilities are constrained to answering simple questions. Too much autonomy, and brand, reputation, customer relationships, and even financial stability are at risk.

Companies often undertake investments or make decisions that slowly erode their original unique strategy or dilute the sharp boundaries that gave the firm its original clear identity. This happens because its not always clear to decision makers that the decision will dilute the core differentiation, there are many decisions that combine to dilute the differentiation, and managers are often motivated by short-term incentives to look for growth and profit opportunities.
