With 74 percent of US companies transitioning to a permanent hybrid work model, leaders are turning their attention to measuring the success of their hybrid strategy. That’s because there’s a single traditional office-centric model of Monday through Friday, 9am – 5pm in the office, but many ways to do hybrid work. Moreover, what works well for one company’s culture and working style may not work well elsewhere, even within the same industry.

When economic headwinds pick up, sales leaders are the first to sound the alarm — and chart a new course. Longer sales cycles, larger buying committees, increased price pressure, and smaller teams can quickly combine to reduce your margin for error and increase the urgency to find a solution. To thrive in a challenging environment, sales teams need a rock-solid grasp of the fundamentals and the biggest force-multipliers they can get their hands on.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

Well, it’s a fair question. Note that none of these three famous innovators were inventors like Thomas Edison, but visionaries who see a new marketplace or niche or how to reach the mass market in ways not previously attempted. Innovation does not always equal invention.

Q1 was a tough quarter for M&A, continuing a trend of softening sentiment thanks to high interest rates, supply chain challenges, and recession fears. Globally, there were just under 6,000 deals, down about 30% from Q1. Total deal value was down 40% to $775 billion. A rare bright spot was the Life Sciences sector, which saw an increase in total deal value, largely due to mega-mergers ranging from healthcare systems to Big Pharma.

I’ve been using large-language models (LLMs) most days for the past few months for three major use cases : data analysis, writing code, & web search 1. Here’s what I’ve observed: First, coding incrementally works better than describing a full task all at once. Second, coding LLMs struggle to solve problems of their own creation, turning in circles, & debugging can require significant work.

ABM gets better with age — but unfortunately, marketers don't have the luxury of pouring it into an oak barrel for a couple decades to let it mature. In a recent survey with Demand Gen Report, we found 59% of experienced practitioners (those with ABM programs more than a year old) indicated their ABM programs are meeting or greatly exceeding their expectations, while only 45% of novices (those with ABM programs less than one year old) could say the same.
