Could an ecosystem-led approach to disparate industrial information technology systems build more resilient and efficient global supply chains?

 Caspar Herzberg, CEO of industrial software company AVEVA, argues that breaking down data silos across companies and sectors could benefit all stakeholders through what he calls “radical collaboration.”

Herzberg details the increasing complexity of the industrial world, where thousands of systems across supply chains have locked-in value because they don’t communicate. He argues that to decomplexify and unlock this value, industries need radical collaboration—overcoming the fear of sharing data to realize a significantly bigger co...

Christophe Fouquet, CEO of ASML, tells Jean-François Manzoni how the world’s only EUV lithography machine maker became Europe’s most indispensable company – and what comes next.

Few companies can claim to sit at the center of modern technological progress. ASML is one of them. The Dutch multinational is the only company in the world capable of producing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines – the technology behind the smallest, fastest, and most powerful semiconductor chips.

Without ASML, the world’s most advanced computing systems, from AI data centers to smartphones, simply would not exist. Tune in to find...

In this I by IMD podcast, host Michael Watkins, Professor of Leadership and Organizational Change, sits down with executive coach Brenda Steinberg to discuss a common challenge: the "post-summer blues."

They reframe this experience not as a slump but as a transition and discuss the importance of acknowledging and processing the seasonal change.

What it means to be “working-age” is changing, and so too are the ways in which people look at their careers. The traditional “three-stage” life is giving way to a “multi-stage” life, and businesses that fail to adapt to this new reality are in danger of being left behind.

In this special episode of the IMD Podcast Network, we bring together two of the world’s most influential thinkers to discuss the future of work and leadership. Host Andrew Sharman, Adjunct Professor of Risk, Resilience and Safety Culture at IMD and author of Who Cares Wins, is joined by the...

Poul Weihrauch explains how family ownership gives him the opportunity to prioritize purpose alongside profit.

In an era where CEOs are under relentless pressure to deliver short-term gains while also addressing long-term challenges like sustainability, Poul Weihrauch considers himself fortunate. As the CEO of Mars – the 114-year-old, family-owned confectionery and pet care giant – he operates with a rare advantage: time.

“We like to say that we act in generations, not in quarters,” says Weihrauch, who joined the firm 25 years ago and steadily rose through the ranks.

Thanks to the Mars family’s long-term outlook an...

AI is a double-edged sword for the environment. Its growth requires masses of energy, water, and rare earth metals. The LLMs of tomorrow may even require the world to bring old power plants, powered by fossil fuels, back online. On the other hand, AI has the potential to accelerate sustainable transformation by providing innovative approaches to energy production and consumption.

So, is AI a groundbreaking innovation or an environmental burden? Might it one day save our planet?

Today on the IMD podcast network, we're bringing you an episode of Mike and Am...

What got you here won’t get you there. But that’s not all, says Kevin O’Brien, CEO of Gammon Construction in conversation with Professor Ric Roi.

As the FinTech arena moves beyond smoothing back-office processes and facilitating relationships between existing players we are seeing a new generation of B2C players rise to take on the incumbent institutions.

Alpian is one such nascent institution, with both new aspects and old backers, seeking to bridge the gap between high street/ retail banks and service-based private wealth managers.

Over the past two years, global lockdowns meant many didn't have to answer the “Should I fly?” question. But as the world re-opens, travel looks set to make a comeback in 2022.

Should we return to our pre-covid habits? Has the pandemic changed our attitude to flying? And how do we make the decision to travel?

Throughout Should I Fly, Professors Jim Pulcrano and Patrick Reinmoeller have talked to pilots, airport bosses, environmentalists, technologists, and investors.  But now their focus is on you!

In this 6th episode,  they cover how people make the decision to fly...

Quick and easy international travel is a normal part of modern life, but almost 20 years ago getting from A to B was an even faster process. 

In the early 2000s, Concorde allowed passengers to get from London to New York in less than four hours; but high costs and environmental complaints brought an end to the supersonic travel era. Now, a new generation of pioneering companies is aiming to make aviation faster and more efficient, while cutting down on emissions.
