News Analysis: Apple WWDC Brings Many Advancements For Enterprise Users rwang0 Sun, 06/05/2022 - 18:40
WWDC Announcements Do Not Disappoint
On June 6th, 2022, Apple made some of its most significant announcements in a decade at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC). The live, in-person, Apple Park event, showcased the power of having a vertically integrated silicon to software approach and the benefits that over 30 million registered developers across its entire portfolio will enjoy in creating new experiences and outcomes for Apple customers.
At the heart of the announcements, the Cupertino digital giant showcased its thoughtfulness and design principles across the entire product line:
Privacy by design. Privacy features are embedded throughout every device and experience to protect the user. The new lockscreen provides customizable options that reflect the balance between privacy and personalization. Neural engines apply AI and keeps the data with the user at the device level. Apple provides app tracking transparency and a privacy report to users. More importantly, how PassKeys are designed, prevents phishing attacks from happening.
Collaboration with ease. All across the iOS 16, Watch OS, MacOS, and iPadOS, users can collaborate and share. In the new iPadOS, FreeForm allows users on Facetime to collaborate on digital surfaces. SharePlay in messages, shared photo libraries, key sharing in message apps, and FaceTime handoffs make it easier than ever to collaborate securely and with peace of mind.
Thoughtful application of analytics, automation and AI. While AI could be perceived as creepy in other design modalities, Apple has taken a concerted effort to protect the privacy of the individual. In almost every scenario, technology is designed to augment and automate based on user consent. In many cases, this technology is mindful - automated, self correcting, and optimized for the individual's well being, not the systems. In many cases, the Apple team have purposely put the human in the loop to encourage the opportunity for collaboration.
Sustainability and performance at the heart of every device. M2 power efficient performance enables faster, better, and cheaper capabilities. The second generation, 5 nano meter chip packs 20 billion transistors with a 100 GB/s unified memory bandwidth and can handle up to 15.8 trillion operations per second. Apple meets next generation sustainability requirements with industry leading performance per watt metrics.
Long term continuity. With every new WWDC, the path to a converged OS approach becomes clearer. As iOS, MacOS, iPad OS, and Watch OS advance, developers find it easier to build once, deploy on any Apple device. Many of the continuity features demonstrate interoperability with real world use cases in Fitness, Gaming, Health, CarKit, and Home Kit. Users will love the ability to apply Continuity Camera and use their iPhones as Cameras with their desktops.
Enterprise Use Cases Abound
While most of the announcements highlight the consumer nature of Apple's business, a good number of advancements can be applied for forward thinking brands, organizations, and enterprises.
B2B and B2C commerce for all. With privacy and security features such as in-app ID verification, users can not only share keys in messaging apps, but also make peer to peer payments by tapping to pay, track order status, and create a four part installment plan to pay later.
Future of work. Cross device connectivity makes it easier for colleagues, suppliers, partners, and customers to collaborate. Live captions in FaceTime improve accessibility. Apple has basically made it easier to share experiences with others in a trusted network. Expect developers to tap into FreeForm capabilities to exponetionally advance past existing offerings.
Supply chain and logistics.. The new maps capabilities allows users to add transit cards in Wallet. New multi-stop routing in MapKit and the expanded city experiences will give developers new tools to address the last mile in supply chain and logistics.
Gaming as an entry point to Metaverse. As Apple improves its Metal3 gaming engine, Apple iOS and macOS platform developers can start the process of improving the 3D experience. The capabilities to design future AR/VR capabilities will become more apparent as Apple enters the $20.7T Metaverse Economy.
The Bottom Line: Developers Have A Lot To Be Excited About
The arrival of a new iOS16, MacOS Ventura, WatchOS, and iPadOS provide developers with so many rich features to create new offerings. Gamers will appreciate the new Metal3's powerful scaling and fast resource loading and background downloading. The new M2 chips create a game changer for performance and capabilities.
Professionals in the enterprise can bring together the payments, collaboration, and search capabilities in an easier to develop environment. The new pricing model for XCode Cloud with 25 hours per month free through December 2023 will entice new developers to try the service. Across the board, developers have a lot to rejoice as the folks at Apple have created a bang up portfolio of releases just in time for WWDC.

Monday's Musings: Davos Report - The Five Uber Forces Impacting The Global Economy
rwang0 Sun, 05/22/2022 - 01:08
The Davos Set Convenes For A Broad Set Of Progressive Policies and Positions
Over 2,000 official and 4,500 unofficial attendees will descend on the alpine village of Davos for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting. After a two-year hiatus of the annual event, these "elite" leaders from business, academia, politics, and cultural celebrities will meet to discuss key globalist topics such as:
Securing economic recovery
Shaping a new era of growth
Fostering cooperation at the global and regional level
Driving transformation of industries
Addressing ESG topics around climate, food, and nature
Enabling society to improve health and equity
As in past years, more than 1300 private jets will leave their footprint into the event amidst discussions on sustainability. Moreover, expect a cadre of business leaders making the shift from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism to justify to shareholder's their initiatives and the coming year's corporate messaging on environment, sustainability, globalism, diversity, inclusion, and lobbying efforts.
Five Uber Forces Weigh Heavy On Attendees
While many of the proposed topics have good intentions, the underlying market and public sentiment have shifted due to five uber forces underpinning almost all discussions:
Inflation. The IMF predicts an average of 8.7 percent inflation for developing countries ,and 5.7 for developed nations. Inflation has robbed any wage gains achieved during the "Great Resignation" and continues to impact the poor and middle class around the world. A great source of the blame arises from the cost of energy and the price of the accelerated green transition.
Pragmatic leaders realize that the timeline must be extended to inflict less pain on the populace despite many idealistic objectives. Targets for green energy and emissions by ambitious dates will be challenged as no longer realistic. Carbon based transition timelines must be shifted to avoid global poverty and downturn. Pragmatic ESG approaches that consider total cost will emerge as the norm over the next five years.
Interest rates. The era of cheap money has ended. Rising interests rates with the US 10-year treasury note topping 3 percentage points has compounded the effects of inflation and is creating a drag on economic growth. The unexpected strong dollar is creating chaos for world leaders as they accommodate new exchange rates. As a result, public market valuations for growth companies have been cut in half as startups struggle to gain funding amidst this turbulent market. A shift to value stocks have not taken off and the result has been a blood bath in equity markets. The crytpo winter has entered a crypto ice age.
The death of modern monetary theory (MMT) is near as nations grapple with rising public debt. A return to rational monetary theory is about to take stage and government leaders who continue to overspend will be punished by investors and world banks. We have shifted from a culture of abundance to a self-inflicted culture of scarcity.
Inventory. Supply chain and logistic challenges continue to hamper growth in every market. Tight labor markets coupled with a naive Zero-Covid policy in China have left global market vulnerable and brittle. The impact of lockdowns in China has compounded inflation, especially for re-open economies. China's push for global dominance has been halted for now.
Business leaders and governments will push for de-globalization in order to ensure both supply chain resiliency, and national security. Expect more efforts to encourage the creation of jobs in region as opposed to the massive supply chains of decades past.
Infection. With over 6 million reported deaths and an estimation of over 25M non-reported death, the toll of the pandemic has been broad and deep. Lock downs have decreased mortality rates, increase mental health issues, raised suicide rates, impacted a generation of education among the youth, increased the wealth divide, and bankrupted many businesses. The wrath of Covid19 continues with China's lock down policies, potential new variants, and an assault on individual rights amidst public health emergencies.
In spite of these scenarios, global leaders continue to push for more authority and reform at the World Health Organization with a proposed new treaty to expand the unchecked powers of public health. Expect citizens around the world to rise up with a backlash against the expert class for their list of continued failed policies. Moreover, expect a demand to uncover the origins of Covid-19 despite the coordinated coverups by public health authorities and world governments. Corporations and organizations will shift to a caring economy as the need to address the welfare of employees rises in priority amidst a shortage of workers.
Invasion. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has created a refugee crisis in Europe and driven up food prices. Fertilizer production, wheat yields, sunflower oil production, and an energy crunch from Russian oil sanctions has created massive ripple effects. Food security in Africa is threatened, and overall food costs have risen as carbon based energy prices have tripled, driving up inventory and logistic costs. War is never beneficial for the populace, though beneficial for a few powers that be.
Global leaders must band together with economic, diplomatic, military, political, and cultural strategies to keep bad actors at bay. Preventing an invasion of Taiwan by China, nuclear war on the Korean peninsula, annihilation of Israel by Iran, state sponsored terror, and Russian expansion will continue as top foreign policy priorities. A rise in defense spending from cyber security to physical security will continue, creating a drag on investment in domestic programs.
The Bottom Line: De-globalization, Populism, and Nationalism Challenge Today's World Leaders More Than Ever
The past two years of the pandemic have created a "Great Refactoring among the citizens of every nation. Trust and faith in the expert class has been shattered. The policies of globalism no longer resonate with the populace as middle class jobs have been exported, individual rights trampled on by global agendas. Faith in tech companies continue to decline as privacy is traded for convenience and security. DEI efforts and ESG will face massive backlash as nationalist sentiment has emerged despite all the efforts to influence mindshare at the cultural, educational, and societal level. A new world order is coming, but not the one imagined by the global elite.
This Great Refactoring is here, and the story has yet to be written. Hopefully the Davos class will be awakened to the interests of their constituents and collaboratively shape this new world. There is hope but this time it requires a public discourse, not forced policies in order to convince the general public.

Are this year's topics in line with the general populace? Do you feel the Davos set have lost their way? What outcomes do you anticipate from this meeting?

Monday's Musings: Decision Velocity Will Determine Winners and Losers In A Digital Age rwang0 Mon, 04/11/2022 - 10:35
Speed Provides Exponential Advantage
Speed has always been a critical success factor in winning wars on the battlefield. You need to move troops faster, reach targets more quickly, and strike with speed and precision. However, what is often not talked about is how the speed with which decisions are made plays a role in claiming victory. Alexander the Great’s success on the battlefield is often credited to the rapid decision-making capabilities of his armies. Enabled by trust and a decentralized command structure, his troops were able to beat their enemies by “out-decisioning” them. In most cases, his opponents had bureaucratic decision architectures, where minor decisions would travel up multiple levels of command before traveling back down to be executed. In the 330s BC, that could mean it took days to make a decision on the battlefield. Such a centralized control and detailed micro-management approach was no match for Alexander the Great’s nimble teams. British military strategist J. F. C. Fuller, writing on Alexander the Great, explained, “Time was his constant ally; he capitalized every moment, never pondered on it, and thereby achieved his ends before others had settled on their means.”1
The speed of decision making plays a similar role in the age of digital giants. Any organization that can make decisions twice as fast or one hundred times faster than its competitors will decimate them. Time is a friend to those who make can make faster, more accurate decisions. While the human brain may take minutes to make a decision and it takes hours for a decision to work through an internal organizational structure, in the digital world machines and artificial intelligence engines can make a decision in milliseconds. Whomever masters these automated decisions at high velocity will have an exponential advantage over those who don’t.
To succeed, businesses must achieve decision velocity: First you have to amass a huge number of users and collect rich data and insights about their interactions—what I call data supremacy. Then you must train artificial intelligence to recognize patterns in that data and automate decisions, processes, and tasks based on those patterns. The higher the number of users, the higher the number of interactions, the higher the amount of data, the higher the quality of insights that AI can learn from, the higher the level of automation of your decisions in your organization. The higher the level of automation of the organization’s decisions, the higher chances you’ll rule your market.
It All Starts With Quality Data - Lots of It
Data is the foundation and the first priority for every organization’s growth and development. You must find and harvest all relevant sources of data and control, if not own, the upstream raw data sources. On the downstream side, you must control access to how the data is shared, monetized, and controlled. This means identifying where the biggest pools of quality data reside and understanding how data is consumed inside the organization.
However, the battle for data is often misunderstood. Many think data supremacy is only about accumulating the greatest troves of data. But having the most data does not necessarily mean you win. This is a battle for the most insight from well- curated, highly contextual data. Quality trumps quantity. The real goal is to understand the relationships among data. You want to learn how the data interacts with each other and what patterns arise from these interactions.
Where does the raw data come from? Successful organizations mine their organizations top to bottom, harvesting data from enterprise transactional systems like their accounting systems, supply chain, operations, and performance data. Then they pair their baseline back office data with front office data that includes customer interactions from sales, marketing, service, and commerce. They also mine “machine-generated data”—log files from equipment—and external sources such as social media feeds and feedback surveys.
The next source of data organizations rely on is user-generated. Every organization gets excited whenever users provide data on their own, whether through an online resume, a social profile, a customer account for a website, payment information, location data when they “check in” to a restaurant or shop, or photos that can be used for facial recognition and image recognition. The more organizations drive engagement with their users, the richer the data sets they collect and the more opportunities they have to find insight in the data.
These insights come from correlations, associations, and relationships—their “interactions”—among all the data produced and captured. Successful organizations are masters at identifying “signal intelligence,” the meaningful patterns or trends that emerge from the cacophony of data interactions. And they use this signal intelligence to make all sorts of “precision decisions,” from how much to charge for a product, to what customers ought to be targeted for what marketing campaign, to what product should be recommended to what customers.
Thus, the combination of good analytics, automation, and AI will help organizations improve decision velocity and carry this forward the learnings throughout the enterprise

News Analysis: Inside Disney's Earnings and Streaming Wars Among A Tech Market Rout rwang0 Thu, 05/12/2022 - 10:44
Disney's Performance Shows Strength and Depth Of Portfolio
Quality balance sheets, predictable revenues are key to sustaining stock prices during this current market rout. Investors only care about future forecast guidance despite current quarterly performance. While Disney's Q1 2022 showed 23% YoY gains with $1.4 billion in operating profit, guidance has been muted in spite of the near pandemic comparables.
Disney+ Continues To Grow While Netflix Falters
Subscriber growth slowed in Q1, but Disney's streaming offering still grew revenue 5% and added 7.9M subscribers to a total of 137.7M total subscribers. Disney+ as a standalone offering is the clear #3 in the market. When the complete Disney streaming offerings are tabulated, they now now surpass Amazon prime with 205 million total subscribers.
Good news for investors as Disney contemplates a new ad supported subscription tier and continued international expansion. International expansion will definitely drive down average revenue per user. However, the streaming player faces additional headwinds with content libraries being pulled back. Lack of content availability may have an impact on near term subscriber adds. Further, costs are up as Disney plans $32B in content spend
Figure 1. The Key Streaming Players
Netflix 221.8M
Amazon Prime 200M
Disney 137.7M
HBO Max 73.8M
Paramount+ 56M
Hulu 45.3M
Discovery+ 22M
Apple+ 20M
Parks
The park business showed massive demand for revenge travel. Disney doubled its revenues to $6.8B as hotel, cruise, and concessions showed growth. Disney’s parks business is a shining light for reopening but inflation will impact Disney later in the year as labor costs, energy costs, and supply chain costs will eat at profit margins. Disney could see more growth upside if Asia finally opens up as Hong Kong is open but Shanghai is closed.
Studios
Movie openings will be a bright spot thought as this is one revenue stream that has room to grow as Americans flock movie theaters for openings this summer. Disney could see upside with future box office hits.
The Bottom Line
Meanwhile, the culture wars continue to roil Disney internally as 200 employees are protesting a move to Florida and the war with the state continues as backlash. Overall, Disney has weathered the streaming wars well during lock down and is poised for success with more re-openings. Add potential Metaverse opportunities, expect Disney to move from media giant to tech giant in the next five years.
Your POV
Who do you think will win the streaming wars? Where do you see Disney in the future of the metaverse?
