Product School raises $25M in growth equity to scale its product training platform

Traditional MBA programs can be costly, lengthy and often lack the application of real-world skills. Meanwhile, big global brands and companies who need product managers to grow their businesses can’t sit around waiting for people to graduate. And the edtech space hasn’t traditionally catered to this sector. This is perhaps why Product School says it […]

Against the ongoing backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and nascent signs of a resurgent economy, the challenges of managing cash and debt, developing investment strategies, navigating taxes, planning for retirement and the future of estates are all magnified by increased risk and uncertainty. When life returns to some approximation of normal, how will we think about how much to spend and where to spend it? The Bloomberg Wealth Summit is a virtual event designed to provide private investors, family offices, and financial advisors actionable intelligence and news they can use. Through smart panels, one-on-one interviews and interactive audience Q&A with leading investors, economists, money managers, and policy professionals, we’ll unearth insights and shed light on some of the most vexing questions, and surprising opportunities, in wealth management.

Work Shifting: What Work Looks Like Next

Photo by Vlada Karpovich on Pexels.com

Work is shifting. The pandemic’s unprecedented toll on global business means companies from every industry continue to deal with the knock-on effects of shutdowns, uneven commerce, and an uncertain labor market. This future of work is not the distant, AI-enabled one we talked about before 2020, but the very real and very immediate next 12 to 24 months as many companies retool to meet the ongoing challenges. The future hinges on how fast and how well companies can pivot to face these challenges — and embrace some opportunities: building and expanding their digitization strategies; continuing to innovate despite the challenges of remote teams; demonstrating capable and compassionate leadership, particularly at the very top; and clearly communicating ideas and directives both internally and externally. So what are companies doing now to position themselves for the future? Who are the leaders, thinkers, and innovators who are showing the way forward into this uncertain future? We’ll gather together top names from business, finance, technology, corporate advising, communications, government, policy, and human resources to dig deep into these questions and others as we explore what happens next.

The Journey of Becoming | #TimeMachine

A map for change

This is a truly fascinating subject because it tells the story of how we become who we are. We are the result of a journey from ‘behaviour to nature’ – a journey that begins with seemingly innocent and what may appear inconsequential actions and yet ends up creating patterns that become incredible forces of nature.
