    Who Will Convert Technology into Growth? — Issue 03

    Technology leadership is often measured by patents filed, models trained, or data centres built. None of those achievements guarantees economic growth. In this episode, we examine what it actually takes to turn technology into productive output — and why the gap between invention and adoption is where economic power is decided. We trace the six-stage conversion chain from research to economic output, look at how the United States, China, Europe, and the Gulf are positioned across it, and explore why adoption rarely translates into productivity without deliberate operating model change. We also set out a 90-day leadership agenda: how to map the technology stack behind your business, separate investment evidence from adoption evidence, and establish the governance needed to make technology conversion a strategic discipline rather than a portfolio of IT projects. The Monthly Strategic Briefing is a research by Dr. Maralani — monthly analysis at the intersection of strategy, technology, and economic change.

    The New Geography of Business — Issue 02

    Globalisation is not ending, but access to markets, technology, capital and supply networks is becoming more conditional. Tariffs, rules of origin, export controls, industrial policy, sanctions, data requirements and political relationships increasingly determine whether a commercially attractive route can actually operate. The management response is not indiscriminate reshoring or a simple division of the world into safe and unsafe countries. Leaders need to trace the business flows behind each product, service and investment, price policy into the economics, preserve credible options and review a geographic decision when one of its critical assumptions changes.

    Geopolitics Enters the Operating Model - Issue 01

    Geopolitics Enters the Operating Model Global military expenditure has hit $2.9 trillion. Trade friction is reshaping supply chains. AI workloads are moving for sovereignty reasons. In this first issue, Maeve and Gus work through how geopolitics enters the operating model — not as a forecasting exercise, but as a practical discipline. They map six transmission channels from external disruption to internal decision, examine where most organisations are exposed without knowing it, and introduce a 90-day agenda for diagnosing dependencies, making proportionate choices, and building a rhythm that actually transfers learning. Research sources include SIPRI, WEF, PwC, EY, Stanford AI Index, WIPO, IEA, OECD, IMF, ILO, and the UN World Social Report.
