This measure, part of the broader "National Infrastructure Bill" enacted a year ago to close Israel's major infrastructure gap, is HUGE. It aims to overcome the "Utility Coordination" challenge, notoriously the weakest link in every project life cycle — key to delivering Israel's mega-projects on time over the next decade and essential for sustaining rapid economic growth. Why is this so crucial? - Israel's productivity gap (GDP per hour worked) is the biggest challenge to realizing its economic growth potential. - Alongside the demographic challenge, aggressively addressing the "Infrastructure Gap" is a top priority. - Approximately 25% of the productivity gap is attributed to infrastructure deficiencies in transportation, particularly mass transit. - Over the next 10-15 years, Israel will invest more than NIS 0.5 trillion in capital projects for Transportation and Energy (1.5-2% increase in investment of GDP annually). Streamlining projects = closing the "infrastructure gap" faster = GROWTH. Adi Hachmon Iliya Katz Yuval Avigdor Dana Dover Itzik Daniel Esti Feldman

American professionals appreciate direct and open conversations, but also value politeness and respect. Tailor your communication style to be assertive yet considerate.

This will increase the chances to attract top-tier talent. 🎯 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Provide timely communication with the candidate throughout the hiring process. Ghosting can be very damaging to the employer brand. A positive experience can be a deciding factor in their choice to join your organization. When providing negative responses, it's customary to email the candidate and thank them for their time and effort in the hiring process and leave an open door for future opportunities.

We’re thrilled to have been part of the launch of the Startup Forum! This wasn't just an event – but a testament to the resilience, innovation, and collaborative spirit of the Israeli hi-tech ecosystem.  Thank you Hanoch Paz and Maya Schwartz for your leadership in making this important initiative happen. Our Yonatan Stern, shared his thought-provoking perspective with the founders community: "Today, people say that one out of ten startups succeeds, but I believe it’s possible to reach a success rate of one in three or four, and even multiply the number of successes tenfold. After I experienced a major failure with a company I founded, I realized that startups must be designed to be profitable from day one. The sense of freedom you have when you don’t need to run around fundraising or cater to others’ opinions is incredibly empowering—it allows you to build your company exactly as you envision.  It’s possible to create a highly successful company with very little money. Being a Unit 8200 graduate is not sufficient preparation for building a company the right way—nobody teaches marketing or customer retention. Giving someone a lot of money without the right preparation naturally sets them up for failure." Smartup Academy, led by Yonatan Stern teaches entrepreneurs the profession of building profitable fast growing companies on seed investment. If you're an entrepreneur and would like to learn about our methods, schedule a meeting with us https://lnkd.in/dBNKT_VV Libby Molad Yonatan Stern Hanoch Paz Maya Schwartz

Navigating Leadership in Today’s Israeli Landscape 🤹‍♀️ Being a manager in our current reality in Israel is undoubtedly a challenging task. Juggling numerous responsibilities while navigating uncertainty in various aspects can sometimes feel like an impossible mission. Yet, striving for excellence and achieving our business goals remains our priority. This week, we had the opportunity to attend a session for managers called “The Managerial Challenge in the Ongoing Israeli Reality: Tools for Compassionate Management.” This session provided a valuable space for us to openly discuss our challenges and explore practical tools for effective management during these unprecedented times. I found the discussions to be not only insightful but also essential for our growth as leaders. It was a reminder of the importance of empathy and adaptability in our roles, especially when supporting our teams. A heartfelt thank you to Inbar Mark and Neri Lahav for leading this important session. Let’s hope we won’t need to rely on all the tools we learned, but it’s reassuring to know we have them at our disposal. 👫 #teammanagment ##leadership #businessasunusual #amdocs #amdocslife
