Dawn of a new era for Small-to Medium Size Public and Private Sectors Entitiespaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
The pandemic has hammered small to medium-size businesses due to restrictions impose on their operations. More and more small businesses will move to digital model as part of managing their customers and supply chain.
Automation, data and AI, and security will be key areas of focus for small medium businesses as they grow their business but also mitigate against geopolitical threats.
ESG reporting will also become a requirement as consumers will want to know the ESG footprint for a small business as part of making their buying decisions.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 18 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
US stocks recovered from steep early losses in Friday's session but ended the week with sharp drops as an August swoon continued for Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished slightly above the flatline, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell slightly on the other side of it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down a modest 0.2% lower after three consecutive days of sharp losses.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each saw losses of around 2%.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell slightly Friday to around 4.25% but remained near recent highs.
The moves come as investors consider the prospect that interest rates could remain higher for longer after Federal Reserve minutes this week showed the central bank wouldn't rule out further hikes. The next clue on the Fed's next move will come from Chair Jay Powell, who is set to give a speech next Friday at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.

The public sector needs to reform its model including stronger crisis and risk management planning and analysis, creating new a compliance group that ensures all oversight agencies are free from partisan policies, governments need to learn to live within its means, all program spending should undertake a program review, taxation focus should be on tax fairness, policies should address issues like wage reform or pension reform or other reforms.
Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE August 25 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Blog – Stock Market for the Week-Ending August 25 2023
Summary:
U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Friday to finish in the green after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank is keeping its options open for more interest rate hikes this year.
The Nasdaq led stocks higher, gaining 0.9% to finish the week up 2.2%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, finishing 0.8% higher for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 0.7%, but fell 0.4% over the week.
Powell, speaking on day two of the Kansas City Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium, said that while inflation had fallen from its peak, "it remains too high." He added, "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective."
European stocks gave up gains in the afternoon but still finished slightly higher. Asian equities fell, with the Japanese Nikkei Index tumbling more than 2%.
Stocks sank yesterday despite another quarter of better-than-expected earnings from Nvidia (NVDA). The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, erasing Wednesday's big gains, while the S&P 500 lost 1.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.1%.
Dow Rallies Following Powell Remarks
17 hr 18 min ago
After falling early in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to finish higher by 0.7%, or about 247 points, as investors shook off the remarks of Fed Chair Jerome Powell that indicated interest rates could remain high.
For the week, the index ended down about 0.4%, the Dow’s second straight weekly decline.
Boeing (BA) rose 2.8% to recover some of yesterday’s losses on reports it would need to delay deliveries of some 737 Max jets.
Salesforce (CRM) moved up 2% after filings showed it is one of several big tech companies, including Nvidia (NVDA) backing artificial intelligence startup Hugging Face. Other tech stocks helped fuel the index’s rally, including Intel (INTC), which also jumped 2%, and Apple (AAPL), up 1.3%.
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares gained 1.4%, making up for some losses earlier in the week following its share swap with spin-off Kenvue.
Nike (NKE) shares gained 1.2%, breaking an 11-day losing streak—the longest in the company’s history.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) dipped 0.2%, making it the worst performer of the Dow 30 stocks during a session in which only five components fell. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Amgen (AMGN) both slipped 0.1%.

2. In Spite Of The Billions Of Dollars Spent
On Business Intelligence And Analytics
The industrial era metrics we use to measure
business risk and performance are broken and
failing the C-suite
Business processes and decision making is
slowing down driving up costs
The B2B selling cycle is increasing driven by a
larger pool of decision-makers, complex
procurement and compliance practices and
products disconnected from the value-add
metrics of the C-suite

Is Business Decision-Making Slowing Down?
“The idea that time is speeding up is clearly
popular. It is also plausible. There is just one
problem. It is very hard to prove that it is actually
happening”. The Economist, December 2015
“Yet hard evidence of a great acceleration is hard
to come by. The Economist has considered a
variety of measures by which the speed of
business in America can be quantified. A few do
show some acceleration. But a lot do not”. The
Economist, December 2015

Is Business Decision-Making Slowing Down?
“A better explanation of the puzzle comes from looking
more closely at the effect of information flows on
businesses. Even though the processes about which you
know more are not inherently moving faster, seeing them
in far greater detail makes it feel as if time is speeding up”.
“This unsettling sensation is common to most chief
executives—a straw poll suggests that they receive 200-400
e-mails a day”. The Economist, December 2015.

Is Business Intelligence And Analytics Failing The C-Suite?
According to Protivity Risk & Business Consulting:
• Although Board members and senior executives
receive hundreds of pages of risk and
performance related information,
• They struggle to make sense of all these deluge
of data in a way that can be converted into
actionable information.

Is Business Decision-Making Slowing Down?
Most business activity is slowing down, not
accelerating:
• In benchmarking the speed of key processes
across the corporate sector,
• We find again and again that decision-making
at even the most basic level has slowed
materially over the past five to ten years”.

Fortune Jan 28, 2016.

Is Business Intelligence And Analytics Failing The C-Suite?
As stated by Tom Monahan, “things got even slower
when companies meshed processes” resulting on:
• Poorly coordinated growth of risk management,
compliance, privacy and data protection
• “Nine-fold increase in the number of different
ERM functions over the last ten years”
• “Technology misuse where 60% of employees
must consult with at least 10 colleagues each day
just to get their jobs done”
(based on 23,000 responses)

• As shown by Gartner

in 2016,

• Lack risk alerts to fend off competitors
from inside and outside your industries
