My new article for #Forbes on the role of CFOs and in general, data driven/ROI based decision making process in the conditions of overall instability and unpredictability. Short summary - is that “classical MBAs” based on ROI, WACC, etc. approach is not valid anymore, specifically for strategic investments. Planning horizon is to short to assume and forecast stable cash flow. Most of the companies are in the trap of “100 years old science” in the modern world and may lose a chance to become competitive by skipping “poor business case” opportunities #forbes #innovation #decisionmaking #investments #reksoft https://lnkd.in/ey6yXiWz

First, I'd like to congratulate all Business Analysts on our professional day, and wish all of us great success, career growth, and reaching all our goals! 🎉 🎆 As you know our profession needs analytical and out-of-the-box thinking, so I want to share with you some interesting logical puzzles that might be very useful and helpful at the stage of interviews and not only. Some logical puzzles in interviews make you wonder: why ask such questions? The answer is simple: to create a challenging situation and see how quickly you can make a decision. Logic questions, in this case, stand out with their particular cleverness, making it difficult to orient yourself right away. https://lnkd.in/gYuNDNKR

OKT 2024, organized by Zespół Szkół Łączności im. Obrońców Poczty Polskiej w Gdańsku and Fundacja Rozwoju Zespołu Szkół Łączności w Gdańsku, hosted many experts and local government officials during a discussion on business and education. Discussions centered around strategies for equipping graduates with skills that transcend local boundaries, enabling them to thrive in a globalized economy. The conference addressed the dual perspective of professional qualifications: their value to employers and their potential limitations for graduates. Here are a few positive thoughts from my side: - ZSŁ is a unique organization in the Pomeranian region. Jadwiga Piechowiak and Wojciech Władziński are role models in building long-term growth strategies. Uniqueness also showcases a threat or a problem, as this approach is uncommon in every school. - Maybe my "bubble" expands, and I see more EDU-BIZ initiatives, or maybe there is much more focus in the region on how to join forces for strategic initiatives. - I hope that words will transform to actions soon :) https://lnkd.in/dMnZYSw5 #EduBizInitiatives #FutureOfWork #SkillsForTomorrow #LocalEducationGlobalImpact #CollaborativeLearning #TransformingEducation

Did you know the easy game could save a life? Dropping a toy and watching how the kid is moving when picking it up can help us detect the red flag of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, an orphan disease that affects mostly boys. Three thousand kids live in Russia without a diagnosis. That means they do not get the up to date therapy and support and might die before the age of 18. I am thrilled to share the first project by the Gordey Foundation I participated in as a Friends for Impact consulting team member. The task was to elaborate a communication strategy that would help to involve a mass audience. And that is what we did. Please have a look at all the details in the post. And please share the information to find the boys. #impact #partnerships #sustainablemarketing #ESG #NGO #Duchenne

The more I study growth hacking, the more I hear that the most successful companies used some kind of tricks in the beginning. After that, they used more systematic and scalable methods. A well-known example is AirBnB.

Biohacking - Silicon Valley's new reality or a trendy fad? 💪 Together with André Remati, we discussed the pros and cons of biohacking and talked about how to improve quality of life without going to extremes. You can watch the recorded stream at this link, and below are the main insights from our conversation: 🧠 Biohacking is a set of techniques for improving physical and cognitive abilities. Many famous people, like Dave Asprey and Bryan Johnson, spend millions of dollars on experiments with their own bodies. 💊 Be careful with supplements and vitamins - their effectiveness is not always proven. Andre shared about a neurotransmitter test that helped him understand which supplements his body actually needs. 😴 Sleep is a key factor in health. Experts recommend sleeping 7-8 hours, not 4 hours like some entrepreneurs. Important restorative processes occur during sleep. 🏃‍♀️ Regular physical exercise and proper nutrition are the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. I shared about my routine: working out twice a day and waking up at 4-5 AM. 🧘‍♀️ Instead of chasing a "magic pill," it's worth engaging in self-discovery and prioritization. Many productivity problems are related to anxiety and inability to prioritize, not lack of time. Are there any biohackers among us? Tell us what has helped you radically improve your quality of life?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ https://lnkd.in/giWwKUtu

In our YouTube Live yesterday, Andrei Mikitiuk and I had a detailed discussion about achievements in resumes. We discussed how to describe achievements in a resume so that they look convincing and impressive to recruiters and hiring managers. Here are the most interesting ideas and tips from our livestream: 🟡In the US, many companies measure all employee achievements in terms of money, but if you don't directly impact profits, there's no need to force-fit monetary metrics. It's better to specify concrete achievements that you actually influenced, such as attracting a certain number of users, optimizing processes, or improving technical indicators. 🟡An achievement should first and foremost be an achievement for YOU personally. If you believe that running 10 kilometers in 40 minutes is your great achievement, then present it that way, making a case for it and confidently talking about it in the interview. 🟡For a recruiter, it's important to see the scale of a candidate's achievements to understand if they are a fit in terms of level and experience. Therefore, always indicate the time period over which you achieved the result, and other details for context, for example, "over 1 year, attracted 30,000 subscribers" or "improved conversion by 30% for an email campaign that brings in $2 million in annual revenue". 🟡Your achievements in the resume should be written in clear language and be easy to read. Have a friend, colleague, or even the ChatGPT neural network read your resume and ask if everything is clear to them. We reviewed several resumes on the livestream, and in 90% of cases, it was completely unclear what the candidate was trying to say with their achievements.
