Microsoft & B2B Storytelling, Raising AI to the Third Power, New AI technology & Job Hiring, Protecting Manufacturing
In this episode we discuss:
*What’s Love Got To Do With It? How Microsoft is using the principles of B2B storytelling to connect emotionally with business buyers of their Artificial Intelligence offerings - and how you can take a page out of their book.
*Raising AI to the Third Power: AI & AI (Acquisition Integration) & AI (Acquisition Innovation) . In the news: Conoco Phillips announced it’s acquiring Marathon Oil for $22.5 billion. Becton Dickinson is acquiring Edwards Critical Care Product group for $4.2 billion. WM (Waste Management) is acquiring Stericycle (medical waste services) for $7.2 billion. And Uber Eats is acquiring Foodpanda for $950 million. Yes, lots going on these days in M & A.
*Now the hard work begins for these companies to successfully integrate – and realize the potential synergies – of their new acquisitions. What are some best practices in acquisition integration? And can AI help the acquirer be more creative in identifying and exploiting unforeseen innovation opportunities in its newly-acquired company? Let’s find out!
*New AI technology aimed at improving job hiring hasn’t worked … What needs to change?
*When Protecting Manufacturing, IP Becomes a Sovereign Strategy… Taiwan produces around 90% of the world's most advanced chips. Netherlands-based ASML Holding NV and Taiwan-based TSMC have created remote means to disable critical equipment needed to manufacture semiconductors.
ASML makes Extreme Ultraviolet machines and is the ONLY manufacturer in the world, selling at >$200 million each. Netherlands law prohibits ASML from selling these machines to Chinese companies. It is Europe’s most valued tech stock with a valuation double that of Intel… about $370 billion.
But China, working with Huawei, has cobbled together proxy machines that can perform, albeit inefficiently, the same processes. TSMC Chairman Mark Liu hinted in a September interview with CNN that any invader of Taiwan would find his company’s chip making machines out of order. “Nobody can control TSMC by force,” Liu said. “If there is a military invasion, we will render TSMC’s factory non-operable.”
If this happens, expect MASSIVE shortages of semiconductors. Smart customers will dramatically increase their safety stocks and order at least a year’s supply of devices NOW.
