Comcast wants to by UK-based satellite TV broadcaster Sky, upending Fox’ deal with Disney. Great, but Sky does not conform to FutureCreators’ seven-part App Delivery Architecture Rule, see FutureCreator Structure Rule 2, part 3. Unless Sky passes FC review, the deal is useless to Comcast. No amount of help from the cabbie in the attached article will help!! Recorded 3/2/2018 from Westchester NY
McKinsey is trying to advise some of the biggest companies in the world on productivity without explaining to them how productivity works. These are FC Corporate Architecture Ground Rule 1 and its logical consequence, Rule 8. 1. The velocity of information is always increasing and faster information is cheaper information. So, as information velocities are always increasing, the cost of information is always falling. The result is the Information Cost-Velocity Curve (ICVC) which has dominated all organization structures through all history. Fall off the Curve and you die. 8. Companies must progressively substitute ever-cheaper information for other resources like land, labor, and capital.
China is resisting FC Corporate Architecture Ground Rule 3. No organization on the planet can stand in the way of the Information Cost-Velocity impact of the Cloud’s marginal cost computing on its structure and customer interfaces. The last great ICVC discontinuity was the 1440 printing press and it shredded every organization in Europe. Expect much greater disruption. China will fight this to the death. For China, Apple is enemy #1. Apple’s mission is to manage customer experience of the cloud. This gives it cloud control. For China that is the role of the Party, not a company and certainly not an American one. Amazingly Apple is giving in, surrendering its future by parking its data on Party-owned servers, giving the Party access to customer encryption codes and removing apps that allow customers to bypass Party censors. Cook must be nuts.
Francis McInerney explains Future Creators structure rule 2 and how Panasonic has broken that rule. He talks about the Cloud in respect to Apple, the monetizing interface of that company, and what Panasonic did wrong in that respect to competition with Apple. He gives advice on what Panasonic should do to create more profits for their company and the Cloud attachment.
Francis McInerney details the cost impact and accounting benefits of squeezing suppliers and capital management by using Boeing as an example. He shares how this company has advantages and disadvantages of using this tactic and its effects.
