    #23 Jonathan Berkshire Miller – NATO Strategy - Quo Vadis?
    Jul 12 2023
    The NATO summit is set to take place in Vilnius, Lithuania, a location of significance due to its history of experiencing Russian aggression.The summit will address several issues, including the future of Ukraine's role in the alliance and the approach towards China.Ukraine is not expected to become a member of the alliance at the Vilnius summit, but discussions will focus on the form and speed of its potential future integration.NATO has taken a bold approach towards China, recognizing the challenges it poses in areas such as space dominance, semiconductors, industrial policy, and maritime security.The Chinese perceive the expansion of security partnerships as a threat, particularly as they see the US building an "Asian NATO".The future of defense and security will be a key topic at the summit, with a focus on emerging technology, AI, robotics, and quantum technologies.NATO has long held a target of 2% of gross domestic product for defense spending, a goal that many countries have not met.The war in Ukraine has been a wake-up call for many Western countries, prompting discussions about increased defense spending.The Indo-Pacific region presents a challenging and dynamic environment for businesses and governments due to its lack of clear-cut rules and multilateral groupings.The fusion of economic and national security is becoming increasingly relevant for investors and businesses, with a growing list of sectors falling under the umbrella of national security. Jonathan is an international affairs professional with expertise on security, defense, intelligence and geo-economic issues in the Indo-Pacific. He has held a variety of positions in the private and public sector. Currently, he is director and senior fellow of the Foreign Affairs, National Security and Defence program at the Ottawa-based Macdonald Laurier Institute.

Jonathan also held a fellowship on Japan with the Pacific Forum CSIS from 2013-16. At the Pacific Forum CSIS, he chaired a ten-member group focussed on Japan-Korea relations, in the context of the US “rebalance” to Asia. Other former appointments and roles include terms as a Distinguished Fellow with the Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada, and Senior Fellow on East Asia for the New York-based EastWest Institute. Miller has held a number of other visiting fellowships on Asian security matters, including at JIIA and the National Institute of Defense Studies (Ministry of Defense - Japan). In addition, Miller previously spent nearly a decade in the public sector in Canada working on geopolitical and security issues pertaining to the Asia-Pacific. He regularly attends track 1.5 and track 2 dialogues across the Asia-Pacific region on security and intelligence issues, and is one of Canada's representatives on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Eminent and Expert Persons Group.

  • #22 Mark Townsend – CBDC's are Inevitable! What's the Hedge?

    #22 Mark Townsend – CBDC's are Inevitable! What's the Hedge?
    Jul 11 2023
    1. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies have become less popular, with AI now trending, but they remain important due to ongoing developments such as the launch of the first Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
    2. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has reported that 86% of central banks worldwide are either piloting or researching the use of CBDCs.
    3. China, the world's second-largest economy, is leading the way in CBDC development and is looking at a short-term horizon for the rollout of the digital yuan.
    4. There are concerns about privacy issues associated with CBDCs that have yet to be clarified by central banks globally.
    5. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, which oversees around $9 trillion in assets under management, has recently shown support for cryptocurrencies, marking a significant shift in attitude.
    6. Cryptocurrencies could potentially provide financial services to the 1.4 billion people worldwide who are currently unbanked, according to World Bank figures.
    7. The introduction of CBDCs could potentially overhaul the corresponding banking system, posing a significant threat to the dominance of the dollar in the global financial system.
    8. The US government and regulators' attitudes towards cryptocurrencies are seen as a significant factor in the future of the market, with the ongoing case between the SEC and Ripple seen as a defining moment.
    9. China is making significant progress in rolling out its own CBDC, partly to internationalize its currency and reduce its dependence on the dollar.
    10. There are growing concerns about the transparency and implications for privacy and personal liberty associated with CBDCs, which have not been fully explained by governments.

  • #21 Brai Odion-Esene – Every Company needs a sound Public Policy Strategy!

    #21 Brai Odion-Esene – Every Company needs a sound Public Policy Strategy!
    Jul 10 2023
    1. Every business should have at least one person trained in policy, as it can significantly impact the business.
    2. Companies should not be reactive to policy but actively engage with key stakeholders and policymakers to shape policy.
    3. The Trump tariffs were a significant event that highlighted the importance of policy in business.
    4. A case study of a small manufacturing company with about 50 employees showed the impact of policy when tariffs made it more expensive to import key components from China to the US.
    5. Policymakers value input from businesses as they are the ones dealing with the effects of policies.
    6. Facebook's attempt to launch a cryptocurrency called Libra failed because they did not take the time to educate key policymakers and regulatory figures before announcing the initiative.
    7. Businesses should identify key stakeholders within the policy world and engage with them.
    8. The media and influential think tanks also play a significant role in shaping policy.
    9. CEOs and decision makers of small to medium-sized companies may not be aware of the importance of having a policy strategy.
    10. Larger companies have more resources and can see a more direct correlation between policies and their business, while smaller companies may question why they need to get involved.

    #20 Emmanuel Daniel – Has China Won? - An Entrepreneur's Perspective
    Jul 10 2023
    Personalization of finance could lead to the personalization of entire societies.The assumption that China's tech superiority is inevitable, suggesting that success depends on a country's ability to understand and apply first principles.Importance of assessing what made a country successful, using China as an example. China's success is not necessarily due to being an ancient civilization or being smarter than the West.The future of artificial intelligence (AI) and the knowledge economy will be determined by countries that can embrace the full effects of AI and garner intelligence, knowledge, and creativity from around the world.Example of the United States to illustrate how large corporations can impact a country's economy and labor force.Countries with competent states and entrepreneurs who see opportunities for growth will be successful in the future.Countries that will excel in the knowledge economy are those that can embrace the effects of knowledge wholeheartedly.Future of AI is not necessarily in China, as the country has banned Wikipedia and may not be able to fully embrace all the effects of AI.The future of technology and knowledge is not a zero-sum game and that it will not be concentrated in one country.Countries that will be successful in the future are those that can effectively deploy capital to technology, have strong grassroots infrastructure, and can create leisure.   Emmanuel Daniel is a global thought leader in the future of finance. He is listed as a top 10 global influencer in the “Fintech Power50” list for 2021 and 2022. He is also an entrepreneur, writer and a model train enthusiast. Much of Emmanuel’s writing is based on his experience in founding and running his TAB Global research and consulting house since 1996. Through platforms such as The Asian Banker and Wealth and Society, Emmanuel has had extensive contact with leaders in banking and finance around the world. He won the Citibank Excellence in Business Journalism for Asia in 1999 for his work on the internet in banking. “The Asian Banker Summit” won the best finance conference from the Asian Conference and Summit Awards in 2012. In his first book, “The Great Transition – the personalization of finance is here” published in September 2022, Emmanuel outlines how the banking industry will evolve from being focused on platform technologies to a level of personalization never seen before. He describes the roles of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, gaming and other technologies in this transition. The book features forewords written by former congressman Barney Frank, the co-author of the Dodd-Frank Act set of legislations that regulate the financial services industry in the US today and Richard Sandor, an innovator widely regarded as the “father of financial futures”. His writing is also based on his extensive travel to more than 100 countries, and he is intent on visiting all. He posts regularly on his travels and is working towards his second book which is tentatively entitled “The Winning Civlisation” and due for publication in 2014. As an entrepreneur, he was previously a member of the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), a prestigious grouping of young business owners worldwide. He has served or is serving in advisory or consulting roles for various public and private sector institutions at any time, and is a well regarded confidante in leadership circles. He is a well-regarded global speaker on a variety of topics. But he prefers working on strategic assignments with selected clients. He is sometimes interviewed on BBC, Bloomberg and CNBC. Emmanuel was trained as a lawyer, has degrees from the National University of Singapore and the University of London, and attended a course on economics at Columbia University in New York. He travels widely and divides his time between Singapore, Beijing and New York.   EPISODE LINKS: Emmanuel's Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmanuel-daniel-5764482/ Emmanuel's Website - https://www.emmanueldaniel.com/ Emmanuel's Twitter - https://twitter.com/EmmanuelDaniel   OUTLINE: 0:02:52 Decoding the Future: Unraveling the Secrets of Successful Nations in the AI Era 0:17:47 Unleashing the Dragon: China's Tech Boom and the Power of Capital Deployment 0:23:51 Super Apps Around the World: The Unexpected Powerhouses of the Tech Industry 0:28:25 Debunking Biases: A Realistic Look at China's Future and Global Economy   Check us out on https://www.cassandra.global/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cassandraglobal

    #19 Brian Pellegrini – Stuck in an Inflationary Equilibrium for the next 10 Years!
    Jun 28 2023
    The Federal Reserve's independence is as much as the political establishment allows it to be.In the 1970s, the Fed was susceptible to political capture, with Richard Nixon pressuring then-chairman Arthur Burns to keep monetary policy loose.Nixon's influence over the Fed was revealed through secret tapes and a confidential letter, which was released during the Watergate trial.The relationship between the president and the Fed chairman can significantly influence monetary policy.The Biden administration has exerted influence over the Federal Reserve Board, with three Fed governors resigning due to unreported trading activity.The Fed is expected to cut interest rates faster than anticipated due to political pressure and a tight labor market.Inflation volatility is a global phenomenon, influenced by the US's monetary stimulus and instability, and the division of the world into different economic axes.In an inflationary equilibrium, it's crucial to invest in the fastest-growing areas to stay ahead of inflation.The diesel market is predicted to be a major inflationary force in the future, due to its interconnectedness with food prices and the global supply chain.A major loosening of the labor market would be a sign that the inflationary hypothesis is incorrect, as it would reduce cost-push pressure on companies and demand for credit.   Brian Pellegrini, CFA, is a seasoned financial professional with a deep passion for intellectual curiosity and a wealth of experience across Wall Street.

    #17 Alexander Chilingoryan – Steering Innovation in the Construction Industry
    Jun 26 2023
    The construction industry has been underperforming historically, with low levels of innovation and digitization compared to other industries.Research has identified 15 key success factors and preconditions that help innovations to be successful in the construction industry.Innovation should be a continuous process and involve everyone in the organization, not just the R&D department.McKinsey suggests that 7% of people within an organization should be involved in change and innovation.Cross-functional teams and innovation champions can increase the chances of successful innovation.Borrowing innovations from other industries can be a critical success factor, rather than trying to invent something new.The biggest challenge for the construction industry is to adopt digitalization, including artificial intelligence, drones, and augmented reality.There is potential for the construction industry to adopt new materials and technologies that are more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient.The slow pace of innovation in the construction industry is due to a combination of factors, including conservatism, high risks, and strict regulations.Eastern European markets may be more willing to adopt new technologies and innovations in the construction industry, potentially leapfrogging more developed markets.   Alexander Chilingoryan is an experienced sales manager who brings value to organizations through his strong business knowledge, managerial experience, and exceptional presentation and negotiation skills. Currently, he is a part-time Professor of Innovation at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. In his professional career, Alexander has held several positions in different companies. He is currently serving as the Deputy General Manager (CCO) at Selena Group, a position he has held since May 2014. Prior to that, he worked as a Sales Director at Bostik from October 2011 to March 2014, and as a Sales Director at Nidan from December 2006 to August 2011. Before his roles in Russia, Alexander worked as a Key Account Manager at Pantech Wireless, Inc. from October 2005 to December 2006. In terms of education, Alexander holds a Doctor's Degree in Business Administration and Management from Business School Netherlands, which he completed from March 2019 to September 2022. He also has an MBA in General Management from The Open University, which he earned from 2005 to 2009. Furthermore, he holds a Master of Education degree in English and German from Pyatigorsk State Linguistic University (PSLU), where he was the President of the University Chess Society.
