re: the game take. Maybe triple a gaming should stop releasing unfinished games that requires huge updates to finish it while also rewriting content to rework said content to be more palatable when fans already liked the existing content. Maybe triple a games would be better then.

Maybe, but the practice is just a result of how the Triple-A video game industry functions.

Here's an excessively long semi-coherent tangent about the AAA video game industry among other things:

As systems become increasingly powerful with each successive console generation, and consumers demand increasingly high-fidelity games, the cost (in time, money and manpower) of game development for AAA games rises exponentially each year.

As a result, the modern AAA industry is primarily hit-driven. Depending on who you ask, only ~20% of games even turn a profit, and most of those barely break even once the console manufacturer takes their cut (usually about 30%). For a publisher, who takes on most of the financial burden, those would also be considered failures because they took years to develop, time that could've been spent on something better received. That alone makes them a bad investment, and for the studio, a history of failure isn't exactly going to inspire confidence in future pitch meetings.

But then there's that small fraction of games that are breakout hits, achieving massive success. That's the goal AAA studios are chasing, hoping to strike gold with that one runaway success that justifies the multiple years they spent developing it. And even then, that will only keep them afloat for a while. Persona 5 sold millions of copies, but Atlus was still making a loss in the years that followed (though Atlus is probably only a AA studio).

On the other hand, there are the true failures like Sonic Boom, that cost Sega Sammy over 100 million dollars, or Concord, that cost Sony anywhere between 200 to 400 million. Those are blows most companies can't afford to take.

And no company is too big to fail. To take an example from the movie industry, which operates more or less the same way, Pixar, despite being the most famous animation studio in the world, almost went under a couple years ago after their last several films underperformed, and Lightyear entirely bombed. So, they decided to pin all their hopes on Inside Out 2 last year as one final throw of the dice.

Inside Out 2 was the safest possible bet; the original was at the time their 6th most successful film ever, and their 2nd highest that wasn't a direct sequel to a different film. So, a follow-up seemed guaranteed to make bank.

Even then, they still didn't take any chances. They brought in every employee they could find to work on the film, allegedly postponing planned layoffs until it was done so they could have all hands on deck, and forced employees to work seven days a week in what was called the largest crunch in the company's history. Disney higher-ups, who blamed Lightyear's failure on a same-sex kiss, also demanded that any LGBTQ+ themes were removed, and are quoted as saying that the film should be edited to make Riley "less gay".

In the end, Inside Out 2 became the highest grossing film in the company's history. Before it had even premiered, Pixar laid off 14% of their employees, leaving some of them crying in the foyer. According to the people still working there, Disney and Pixar's executives also saw the film's success as proof that censoring its LGBT elements was justified, and that attitude is now pervasive.

That last part isn't really relevant to this specific discussion. It's just something else I brought up because Pixar and Disney suck, and I think more people should talk about it.

The point I'm actually trying to make here is that even a company like Pixar is far from invincible, and a few costly failures is enough to sink them. Conversely, even a single major success like Inside Out 2 is enough to completely turn things around. That's the hit-driven business model of these companies, and the same applies to AAA game studios.

In fact, it's probably even worse for them, because most people don't actually buy that many big games each year. They cost like $60 a pop, and can take anywhere between 20 to 100 hours to complete. As a result, the competition is far more vicious. That's why the most expensive games spend almost as much on marketing as they do on development, because they're all fighting for the spotlight at the time of their release, hoping to be the one game you buy that season. And because everyone wants to play the game everyone else is playing, the more successful one game is, the worse it gets for all the other games releasing at the same time in terms of sales.

Okay, I'm trying to remember where I was going with this. Basically, here's how this informs the current trends in the industry:

First of all, because expensive AAA games are such a gamble, publishers and studios are far more risk-averse. They're less willing to back something new or experimental when they could just play it safe. It's why no matter how much people complain online, publishers will always prefer to put out sequels to established franchises. It's just a far safer bet to go with an established brand or formula that's proven to work than take a needless risk on something new, and that's a line of thinking that's expected to become even more prevalent moving forward. It's also possible that, like Pixar, video game publishers will become more reluctant to include representation if they feel it might negatively affect sales.

Secondly, because a hit-driven business model is so dangerous and has no safety net, publishers would much rather have a constant revenue stream that's more stable. So, that's why there is now a fixation on live-service games and microtransactions, which, if successful, will continue to reliably generate profit off consumers indefinitely. In 2022 Sony claimed they were planning to launch 12 live-service games by the end 2025, though after the failure of Concord, some of those have been axed.

Thirdly, because the market is so crowded, games are rushed out before they're ready to meet marketing deadlines, and crunch culture has become the industry standard.

That's how you end up with a game like Cyberpunk 2077, which was released in a completely unfinished and broken state. They could've delayed the game for a year, spent a little bit more time on it, and then put it out once it was actually finished. But by that point they'd already delayed it three times; the original release date was in April, but they'd pushed back to September, then again to November, and then finally to December, which isn't ideal.

Video game sales vary massively month-to-month, peaking in November and December. While that sounds good, it isn't for a game like Cyberpunk. Because people buy the most games at the end of the year, most major releases all come out then. If it had released in April as planned, Cyberpunk's only real competition would've been FF7 Remake, so if people are going to buy anything that month, it's probably going to be one of the two. But by September, Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part 2 would've already drawn people's attention, and in December, there's also a new Assassin's Creed and a Spiderman game, so anyone on PS4 is spoiled for choice. By 2021, the window would definitely be closed.

More importantly, the hype cycle was coming to an end. Part of the reason why publishers impose such rigid internal deadlines on development is because they plan their 100+ million dollar marketing push around that timeline. As the game was increasingly delayed, they were running out of steam and patience as they tried to keep it from being forgotten, which would doom its launch.

Instead, they decided it needed to go out right now, while it was still at the forefront of everyone's minds. CD Projekt Red had abandoned their policy of having zero crunch and forced employees to work overtime to get the game out in at least a vaguely playable state, while stringing journalists along with carefully cultivated slices of content that appeared fully finished. Timing is infinitely more important than quality, and after all, they could always fix it in post.

The major technical issues did have an effect on Cyberpunk 2077's sales after its release, but it didn't matter much. Despite being one of the most expensive games to develop in history, it made back its entire budget in pre-orders alone. In the first 24 hours, it sold 13 million copies; to put that into perspective, The Last of Us Part 2, which came out that same year, has only sold 10 million copies in almost 5 years.

So, I guess it paid off. In the end, when it comes to AAA game development, hitting marketing deadlines and release windows is generally seen as more important than quality of product, or wellbeing of employees. Crunch culture, where mandatory forced overtime is expected, has been normalised, and often isn't compensated.

Video game development positions aren't stable. There's almost no job security. It's not an uncommon practice for a studio to fire developers before the beginning of a project to make it seem like the company has less expenditure than it does, which makes it more appealing to publishers as a cheap option. This is accompanied by excessive overpromises that could never be kept, made in an attempt to convince an increasingly risk-averse publisher that this is a project worth gambling millions of dollars on.

Pressure to meet these deadlines, both from the publisher but also from the gaming community (who regularly send death threats to developers who delay anticipated games like Cyberpunk), results in mandatory crunch, and the release of unfinished games.

So yeah, that's more or less how the modern video game industry operates.

BENNY FIXMAN – Who he was

I want to pay tribute to my first real boss, who unknown to me had planned my recycling career.

Here is an excerpt from an article about him and some quotes from his book. They are mostly accurate (within 10%) to the best of my recollection.

Diversified Metals pioneered the successful development of a mechanical method of processing scrap wire and cable, which revolutionized the scrap metal recycling industry. As a result of this success, Mr. Fixman was named "Man of the Century" by Iron Age Magazine, a publication serving the metal recycling industry. Diversified went public in 1964 and grew into a multi-industry business which operated as many as 33 companies engaged in manufacturing, metals processing and reclamation, service industries and retailing. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 5, 1993.

Through a $500 loan from his father-in-law, Fixman bought a scrap yard when he was 26 and started his company. By perfecting the cold process, he revolutionized the metals industry and grew Diversified Metals Corporation into a Fortune 500 company (Diversified Industries) with 36 subsidiaries. This diversified NYSE-traded company had revenues of $330 million. In 1969, Fixman was named 'Man of the Century' by the leading metals industry magazine.

The secret to his success can be pared down to one word: determination. “I owe my success to what I call Jewish engineering—you either solve the problem or you starve to death,” says Fixman, now 85. He’s not exaggerating. “I grew up during the Great Depression, in a rat-infested tenement in the toughest ghetto in downtown St. Louis, at 18th and Carr,” he recalls.

“There was never enough to eat. I survived on food scraps from neighbors who took pity on me—one lady gave me her barbecue bones to suck on after she’d eaten them for dinner.” His mother, a Russian immigrant widow who barely spoke English, cleaned houses for a dollar a day to support five kids. “I never had a childhood,” he says. “I started working when I was 7, peddling newspapers on street corners.”

Fixman dropped out of high school freshman year to work as a janitor at a ladies’ ready-to-wear chain. By the time he quit to join the Army, he was assistant to the chain’s president. After the Army he went into the scrap metal business, working 16-hour days until he built it into a multimillion-dollar, publicly traded company whose stock soared from $9 a share to $132. “Ben’s word has always been his bond,” says Roth. “Poverty didn’t embitter him—it opened his heart.” Fixman takes a personal approach to philanthropy. After losing his first wife, Marilyn, to cancer in 1980, he funded the Marilyn Fixman Cancer Center at the former Jewish Hospital. Now based at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and known as the Marilyn Fixman Cancer Center Endowment Fund, it supports free education and support services for cancer patients. He also co-funded Camp Sabra at Lake of the Ozarks. “I couldn’t afford camp when I was a kid, so I wanted to make sure other kids have a chance to go,” he says. “How can you not help others when you’ve got more than enough for yourself?”

Key Benefits of Partnering with Top Feasibility Study Experts in Dubai

Making well-informed judgments prior to starting a new firm or growing an existing one is crucial in Dubai's changing business environment. These choices are based on feasibility studies, which offer vital information that can make the difference between success and failure. Although many business owners and executives would be tempted to carry out these investigations in-house, there are clear benefits to working with qualified feasibility study specialists. This article outlines important advantages of working with the best feasibility study company in Dubai, emphasizing how their professional knowledge can optimize your project's potential in the cutthroat UAE market.

Local Market Intelligence That Drives Strategic Decisions

Expert feasibility study firms in Dubai have access to priceless local market data that greatly improves decision-making. These professionals have extensive databases on UAE-specific competitive environments, consumer behavior trends, and market trends. A sophisticated grasp of Dubai's distinct business environment, including seasonal variations, demographic changes, and new market prospects, is incorporated into their study. Enhanced market insights through local expertise enable them to detect all specific gaps that generic research would overlook. Strategic planning receives a solid foundation when businesses leverage this expertise to reveal specialized information about unique Dubai market demands and positioning approaches along with pricing tactics.

Risk Mitigation Through Comprehensive Analysis

The main benefit of working with leading feasibility study specialists includes their ability to identify and assess potential risks before investing large sums. Expert companies employ advanced risk assessment methods which examine multiple components including operational challenges and regulatory barriers and market volatility in addition to financial weaknesses particular to Dubai project types. These experts carry out in-depth sensitivity studies to ascertain the potential effects of different scenarios on the viability and profitability of a project. Their unbiased assessment aids in revealing hidden dangers that internal teams could miss due to confirmation bias in favor of project approval. Businesses might potentially save millions of dollars in investment capital by detecting possible problems early in the planning phase and developing effective mitigation techniques or reevaluating project parameters before devoting substantial resources.

Enhanced Financial Projections and Economic Modeling

Professional feasibility study firms use sophisticated economic modeling techniques tailored to Dubai's commercial climate to produce excellent financial estimates. These experts use advanced financial techniques to create thorough cash flow studies, ROI estimates, and break-even forecasts that are based on actual market data rather than conjecture. Their models take into account Dubai-specific elements including labor costs, regulatory compliance costs, local taxes structures, and market-specific income possibilities. This degree of financial accuracy makes it possible to design scenarios for a range of market conditions, which aids firms in comprehending what may happen in certain situations. In order to make more educated investment decisions and produce more persuasive paperwork for possible lenders or investors, professional financial modeling offers a realistic image of capital requirements, estimated returns, and project durations.

Regulatory Compliance and Legal Framework Navigation

As the emirate's corporate structure continues to change, Dubai's regulatory environment may be complicated and updated often. Expert firms that do feasibility studies stay up to date on compliance regulations in different industry sectors and free zones. Their knowledge of labor laws, environmental compliance standards, licensing processes, permit requirements, and industry-specific legal issues are all included in their expertise. Early in the planning phase, these experts are able to see any regulatory obstacles and include compliance expenses and schedules in project plans. Depending on the benefits of regulations, they can also suggest the best locations and business structures. For foreign businesses entering the Dubai market without any prior knowledge of local regulatory frameworks, this knowledge is especially helpful in avoiding expensive delays and legal issues that might throw a project's execution off course.

Objective Third-Party Validation for Stakeholders and Investors

The credibility of a project among stakeholders, investors, and financial institutions is greatly increased by a professionally done feasibility study, which offers reliable third-party confirmation. Independent studies from respectable companies have more weight with external parties than internal evaluations, which might be seen as slanted toward project approval. Because they see them as crucial risk management tools, banks and investment groups in Dubai frequently demand expert feasibility studies before sanctioning financing. These extensive papers show careful planning and due investigation, anticipating and resolving potential investor worries with realistic estimates and in-depth market analysis. When looking for partnerships or funding, project ideas gain credibility from the impartiality and professional approach used by competent businesses. This certification can strengthen negotiation positions with possible investors and speed up the capital raising process.

Technology Integration and Innovation Assessment

🚀 Bootstrapping: Navigating the Advantages & Disadvantages of Self-Financing 💼

Launching a business is an exhilarating journey filled with dreams, challenges, and pivotal decisions. One of the most critical choices entrepreneurs face is determining how to fund their venture. While external investments and loans are common routes, many opt for bootstrapping—a self-financing approach that relies on personal savings and reinvested profits. This method offers unparalleled control but comes with its own set of challenges. Let's delve into the intricacies of bootstrapping, exploring its benefits and potential pitfalls.

What is Bootstrapping? 🤔

Bootstrapping refers to the process of starting and growing a business using personal finances or the company's own revenue, without external funding sources like venture capital or bank loans. This approach emphasizes lean operations, cost efficiency, and organic growth. Notably, several global giants began their journeys through bootstrapping:

Mailchimp: Started as a self-funded email marketing platform and evolved into a multi-million-dollar enterprise.

GoPro: Founder Nick Woodman utilized his savings to develop the first GoPro camera, now a renowned brand.

Spanx: Sara Blakely launched Spanx without any investors, transforming it into a billion-dollar company.

These success stories underscore the potential of bootstrapping when executed with diligence and strategic planning.

✅ Advantages of Bootstrapping

1. Complete Control and Ownership 🏆

Bootstrapping allows entrepreneurs to retain full ownership of their business. Without external investors, founders can make decisions aligned with their vision, values, and long-term goals, ensuring the company's direction remains uncompromised.

2. Financial Discipline and Efficiency 💰

Operating with limited resources necessitates meticulous budgeting and prioritization. This constraint fosters a culture of financial discipline, encouraging businesses to focus on profitability and efficient resource allocation from the outset.

3. Flexibility in Decision-Making 🔄

Without the need to consult investors or meet external expectations, bootstrapped businesses can pivot quickly in response to market changes, customer feedback, or new opportunities, enhancing their adaptability.

4. Reduced Financial Risk from Debt 📉

By avoiding external loans or investments, entrepreneurs sidestep the pressures of debt repayments and investor returns. This autonomy can lead to more sustainable growth and reduced financial stress.

5. Cultivation of Innovation and Resourcefulness 💡

Limited funds often drive creativity. Bootstrapped businesses are compelled to find innovative solutions, optimize processes, and leverage unconventional strategies to achieve their objectives.

⚠️ Disadvantages of Bootstrapping

1. Limited Access to Capital 💸

Relying solely on personal funds or business revenue can restrict the ability to invest in essential areas like product development, marketing, or hiring, potentially hindering growth and competitiveness.

2. Increased Personal Financial Risk ⚠️

Investing personal savings into a business amplifies the financial stakes for entrepreneurs. If the venture faces challenges or fails, the personal financial repercussions can be significant.

3. Slower Growth Trajectory 🐢

Without substantial capital injections, scaling operations or entering new markets may progress at a slower pace, potentially allowing competitors to capture market share more rapidly.

4. Limited External Support and Mentorship 🤝

External investors often bring valuable networks, industry insights, and mentorship. Bootstrapped businesses might miss out on these benefits, which can be instrumental in navigating complex business landscapes.

5. Potential for Burnout 🧠

Managing multiple roles, from operations to finance, can be overwhelming. The cumulative stress of wearing many hats without external support can lead to burnout and affect overall business performance.

🧭 Is Bootstrapping Right for You?

Deciding to bootstrap depends on various factors:

Business Model: Does your venture require significant upfront investment, or can it start lean?

Risk Tolerance: Are you comfortable with the financial risks associated with self-funding?

Growth Objectives: Are you aiming for rapid expansion or steady, organic growth?

Personal Resources: Do you have sufficient savings or revenue streams to support the business initially?

Reflecting on these questions can guide your decision-making process.

💡 Tips for Successful Bootstrapping

Prioritize Profitability: Focus on generating revenue early to sustain operations and fund growth.

Maintain Lean Operations: Optimize expenses, avoid unnecessary costs, and invest in areas with the highest ROI.

Leverage Technology: Utilize affordable digital tools and platforms to streamline processes and enhance productivity.

Build a Strong Network: Even without investors, seek mentors, advisors, and peer support to gain insights and guidance.

Stay Resilient: Embrace challenges as learning opportunities and remain adaptable in the face of obstacles.

🌟 Conclusion

Bootstrapping offers a path to build a business grounded in autonomy, discipline, and innovation. While it presents challenges, the rewards of owning a venture shaped entirely by your vision can be immensely fulfilling. If you're considering this route, equip yourself with knowledge, plan meticulously, and embrace the journey with determination.

How to Earn in Dollars While Living Abroad:

Introduction:

In a world that’s more connected than ever, living in one country and earning from another is no longer just a dream it’s a reality for millions. Whether you’re an expat, digital nomad, remote worker, or simply someone seeking financial freedom, earning in U.S. dollars while living abroad opens the door to a lifestyle filled with opportunity, flexibility, and stability. It means your money stretches further, your savings grow faster, and your life can be richer in both experience and value.

The U.S. dollar is one of the most powerful and stable currencies in the world. When you earn in dollars and spend in countries with a lower cost of living, you tap into a concept called geo-arbitrage—maximizing your income by taking advantage of global economic differences. It means your money stretches further, your savings grow faster, and your life can be richer in both experience and value.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to earn in dollars while living abroad.

The dollar remains one of the most stable and accepted currencies globally. Living overseas presents a combination of adventure, affordability, and cultural depth. But when you add that together with the ability to earn in a strong currency such as the U.S. dollar, the financial opportunities become all the more enticing.

The dollar remains one of the most stable and accepted currencies globally. For expats, digital nomads, and remote workers, this means more purchasing power, better savings, and increased freedom.

Whether you’re sipping coffee in Colombia, enjoying the beaches of Thailand, or tucked away in a cozy village in Portugal, earning in USD while spending in a weaker local currency can significantly stretch your income.

2. Benefits of Earning in Dollars While Living Abroad:

1. Increased Purchasing Power:

In countries with lower costs of living, $1 can go a long way. You’ll pay less for rent, food, services, and transportation while earning more in real value.

2. Financial Stability:

USD tends to be more stable than many local currencies—especially in emerging markets. You’re protected from local inflation and currency devaluation.

3. Easier International Payments:

Converting to dollars sets you up with access to world payment platforms such as PayPal, Wise, and Payoneer. The vast majority of global clients and platforms use USD as default.

4. More Savings & Investments:

Spend less and save the difference, investing the rest. You can accrue savings, invest in index funds, or reinvest back into your company.

5. Flexibility & Freedom:

You're not bound to one nation's economy. If something happens—visas, legislation, or fees—you can migrate and still make the same.

3. What You Need Before You Begin:

What You Need Before You Start:

Before getting started in the world of making money in U.S. dollars living overseas, preparation is important. Although the internet is saturated with opportunities, success relies strongly on having the right tools, systems, and mindset in place from the start. Here's what you need to get started:

Reliable Internet Connection:

A fast and stable internet connection is non-negotiable. Whether you’re freelancing, teaching, managing an online business, or offering remote services, you’ll need consistent connectivity for video calls, file uploads, and real-time communication. In less developed areas, consider having a backup plan such as a mobile hotspot or prepaid data package.

Digital Payment Systems:

Because your earnings will be in USD, you require platforms that enable easy receipt and conversion of payments. Open accounts with:

PayPal Business – Extremely popular and quick.

Payoneer – Ideal for freelance platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr.

Wise – Provides affordable currency exchange and international transfers. Also, ensure that your local bank account accepts international wire transfers to withdraw your profits.

Building a Crypto Exchange? Here’s Why It’s the Smartest Move You’ll Make This Year

What Is a Crypto Exchange?

A crypto exchange is essentially a marketplace for the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies. Just think of it in terms of stock markets except that instead of stocks and shares, these are all about digital assets and currencies like bitcoins, ethereum, and thousands of others. Such exchanges build your transactions, provide you with wallets that ensure security, and give you all the means of managing your digital wealth. These are the pillars of the cryptocurrency ecosystem because they provide accessibility to a decentralized finance (DeFi) world.

Why Start a Crypto Exchange?

The world of cryptocurrency is very fast developing nowadays. It is said that the market may reach several trillions of dollars. At this point, the demand for systems that are highly secure and very user-friendly is more than ever. As an entrepreneur, the best way to get into this booming industry and earn your profits is to start your cryptocurrency exchange.

However, it is more than simply following a trend. Crypto exchanges have a huge potential for continuous revenue generating. Every trade completed on your site earns you a modest fee. With millions of users globally, those little payments quickly mount up, resulting in a sustainable, scalable cash stream. Furthermore, as the digital economy expands, the value of your platform rises, establishing it as a long-term corporate asset.

Multi-Currency Support: As the cryptocurrency industry expands, so does the range of assets. Offering an extensive range of cryptocurrencies for sale, including popular coins and developing tokens, attracts a wider audience.

How to Build One (The Smart Way)

Building a cryptocurrency exchange is no easy task-it demands masterful planning, skills, and thorough knowledge of business and technology. Fortunately, you do not have to reinvent the wheel.

Instead of developing a cryptocurrency exchange from scratch, it would be better to partner with a white-label cryptocurrency exchange development company.

It allows you to avoid the long and expensive development process and focuses on launching and growing your business in no time.

You'll get access to enterprise-level security, advanced trading capabilities, compliance tools, and support in a fraction of the time it takes to construct your system.

Ways to Make Money from Your Exchange

When properly commercialized, cryptocurrency exchanges can be profitable. Here are a few proven methods to create revenue:

Trading Fees: When a user buys or sells cryptocurrencies on your platform, fees are charged, which serves as the major source of income for most exchanges.

Withdrawal Fees: Fees are mostly charged to the users withdrawing funds from an exchange. These constitute a major source of revenue if the exchange becomes popular.

Listing Fees: Having taken listing fees from new cryptocurrencies wishing to gain entry onto your exchange, you can likewise earn.

Staking and margin trading: Allowing users to stake-their coins while gaining rewards or offer martgage, which enlarges their trading capacity, allows you to charge more fees.

Premium Services: Here one may have access to exclusive features, advanced trading tools, and fast transaction speeds through a subscription fee.

Why Cyber Security Important in the Finance Sector

Cyber Security is becoming a prominent issue for organisations around the world. The cyber security sector is crucial, especially when it comes to Financial Firms as it saw the highest volume of Cyber Threats incidents over any industry including Communication Technologies, Manufacturing, Retail and Professional services. In a high profile event, we demonstrate that cyberattacks are caused due to service disruption, substantial economic loss, which leads to exposure of sensitive data. Financial institutions have been a leading target for cyber attacks as the evolution of cyber threats strengthens their defences.

It is essential to widen cyber security strategies that are increasingly sophisticated and diverse which further contribute to the financial sector. We’ve seen websites facing attacks such as money transfer systems that have made headlines like in 2016 when attackers stole 81 million dollars from the Central Bank of Bangladesh. As fast as we are adopting new financial technologies, hackers are finding ways to penetrate those systems. This is because they understand how to conduct fraud and manipulate data. Organisations are responding by shifting from passive cyber defence to more active cyber defence strategies. Passive strategy is largely reactive, whereas, an active strategy involves going outside your network and directly engaging with the hackers who have tried to cause you harm.

Currently, we are seeing the financial sector look into military intelligence agencies for different types of active cyber defence strategies. Financial firms are largely adopting AI to combat this threat and actively investing in AI and ML, which are ideal for pattern recognition.

Unlocking Innovation: 5 Essential Insights for Your Board’s Thought Leadership

Boards are under more and more pressure these days to steer their companies through turbulent times. Gaining more insight into the broad picture and the methods for achieving it can be a driving, steadying, and propelling force.

There are numerous approaches to teach your board about putting the company in a position for difficult times. Here are five key areas of innovation and thought leadership to concentrate on.

Innovation is crucial regardless of economic cycles or company performance

The board may search for further measures to increase profit margins and overall tighten the belt, particularly during challenging times. While corporate departments such as innovation may be easy targets and considered “overhead” for cost-cutting, this can be a severe mistake since innovation is a strategic investment in the future of the organization. It can also be an integral element of the solution, not the problem, by helping expand revenues and improve profit margins with continual digital enablement and automation. Reducing innovation can also negatively impact employee happiness because many workers are drawn to companies because of their inventive cultures.

Include innovation updates regularly, such as at every other board meeting, to help your board become informed about these topics beforehand. You can also include a comprehensive scorecard or dashboard that outlines innovation’s quarterly contribution to cost savings, revenue growth, and other important areas, like supporting the development of an innovative culture within the company.

Regardless of the state of the economy or the performance of the business, innovation must be viewed as essential. In difficult times, it is necessary to innovate even more actively to change the status quo or even better it.

Conscious leadership can yield measurable returns

It’s common knowledge that thought leadership may help brands command a larger premium in the market in the professional services and technology sectors. According to the Thinkers360 B2B Thought Leadership Outlook Survey, nearly 50% of participants said that thought leadership increased their brand premium by more than 75%.

Because it’s a less frequent practice, boards at smaller firms or in other industries could doubt the ROI and value of thought leadership. Of course, they are aware of marketing, but thought leadership is a lesser-known concept that may be met with suspicion. To combat this, be sure to educate your board on the strategic significance of thought leadership to your brand and how it’s a vital element of your marketing plan.

Make careful to directly link thought leadership to the sales funnel in addition to discussing and sharing non-financial KPIs like marketing funnel data. This can be achieved by linking products, such as downloads of marquee whitepapers, to particular customers and prospects. This will enable you to gauge the impact of your thought leadership content on potential income prospects and audiences of all stripes. You can learn a lot from this data, including how many of your most important clients and prospects are reading your thought leadership articles and when it’s best to publish them with important new agreements.

Long-term strategic initiatives centered on innovation and thought leadership

The most successful firms have a programmatic approach to managing innovation and thought leadership, which helps them create organizational competency over time in both disciplines. While its structure is less crucial because it can be decentralized, centralized, or hybrid, it is imperative to have a well-defined program with at least a mission, goal, strategy, and operating plan. For instance, the US Navy created a Hollywood-produced video that outlined its vision for naval information warfare in 2030 and served as its compass, securing millions of dollars in funding for artificial intelligence.

It’s also crucial to consider the areas of interest and the kinds of innovation and thought leadership you pursue. Have a defined list of innovation enablers, such as data and analytics, automation, adaptability, cloud, digital twins, and AI, in addition to an internal and client-facing focus. However, be flexible and open to adding more as needed. The subjects you intend to cover and your editorial calendar for thought leadership are examples of this. Additionally, pay attention to fresh ideas in thought leadership that can surprise you and help your clients.

Moreover, inform the board of your multi-year innovation journey, as well as your goals and objectives. To establish success and demonstrate your worth early on, you’ll probably concentrate on tactical, fast wins. Later on, though, you’ll probably concentrate on more strategic, disruptive initiatives. By doing this, you can change the ratio of tactical to strategic innovation in your innovation focus, for example, from 80/20 to 60/40, and so on. Engaging in these discussions with the board is an excellent way to start your multi-year journey.

Innovation is similar to governance and portfolio strategy

The board can recognize that innovation can be focused on various areas, including the company’s internal work processes, client-facing products and services, business models, and much more.

Establish strategic objectives, such as a specific percentage of cost reduction through hyper-automation, a rise in revenue per FTE, and a set amount of revenue growth through new business models.

You’ll get a lot more support and interest if you make it directly related to the issues that the board is interested in. Display the organization’s innovation efforts in terms of services and products, as well as data such as refresh rates that are under three years old. Additionally, demonstrate how those products and services are being enhanced by AI and analytics or how they are transitioning from one-time purchases to ongoing income streams. Portfolio innovation is necessary for all of this, and it ought to be a crucial component of portfolio strategy and governance.

Customers demand creativity and intellectual leadership without asking for it

One popular criticism of innovation and thought leadership is that it is pointless to concentrate on or make investments in it if customers aren’t requesting it. Whether or not they specifically request it, they anticipate it from their service providers. You may see requests for proposals where innovation is specifically included and where it isn’t. In any scenario, it’s critical to know what kind of innovation your clients are seeking.

This can be divided into two categories: innovation that falls within the purview of the job and innovation that goes beyond. They either want to see innovation in the way you provide your daily services using people, procedures, and technology, or they want to see innovation in the way you support them as they continuously innovate within their own organizations and gradually introduce new innovations. This is particularly true for long-term engagements or contracts, where you will be required to stay up to date on emerging developments like artificial intelligence (AI) as a strategic partner and either incorporate them into your offerings or inform your client of the possibilities.

Customers want to know that your business is not just an authority in its field but also that it is forward-thinking and constantly devising innovative methods to address issues more quickly. This is known as thought leadership. You may precisely identify the common demands and interests of your customers by segmenting and classifying their free-form responses to your surveys regarding innovation and what they’d like to see.

Teaching your board about thought leadership and innovation highlights its strategic nature and areas of contribution and demonstrates the return on investment it can generate for the company, independent of the state of the economy. It will all depend on how you define, position, and report it.

OnlyFans once again draws attention in the tech world - Coinmapai

OnlyFans has once again attracted attention in the technology field. As an adult content platform founded in the UK, OnlyFans' annual revenue in 2023 reached a staggering $6.6 billion, which is higher than the total revenue of all emerging AI companies in Silicon Valley. It is considered the most successful company in the UK since DeepMind and is second only to TikTok in terms of content platform.

OnlyFans' success lies in its creator economic model. In 2023, the platform distributed $5.3 billion in revenue to creators, but it still achieved an operating profit of $649 million. CEO Keily Blair said that OnlyFans does not use recommendation algorithms, does not introduce virtual AI characters, and does not even plan to launch AI features for the time being. These measures are aimed at protecting the rights of creators and providing more options.

OnlyFans’s Market Position

Although privately held, OnlyFans is still required to disclose some business data as a UK company. Judging from these data, it is one of the most successful companies in the UK since DeepMind was founded in 2010, and it is also one of the most influential content platforms after TikTok became popular in 2014. In 2023, OnlyFans' revenue will reach $6.6 billion, a significant increase from $300 million five years ago. While growth may have slowed, its revenue was still up 19% from the previous year. More than 60% of purchases on the platform are now completed through one-time transactions, often worth tens of dollars.

OnlyFans' success is also closely related to its creator revenue share rate of up to 80%. In 2023, OnlyFans creators will earn a total of $5.3 billion, which is close to the total salaries of the NBA and NFL. There are more than 4.1 million creators on the platform, with some of the top creators earning millions of dollars a month.

### Reasons for success

OnlyFans' growth has benefited from increased brand awareness and a gap in the market. As many adult content platforms are forced to delete content due to regulation, and social media platforms like Reddit and Tumblr ban pornographic content, creators are directing fans to OnlyFans. The platform's high revenue share is also one of the reasons for its success. OnlyFans bypasses the revenue sharing restrictions of iOS and Google Play Store through the browser platform, which is crucial to its profitability.

### Income Concentration among Top Creators

OnlyFans' revenue is highly concentrated among top creators. Although there are more than 4.1 million creator accounts on the platform, actual revenue is mainly concentrated in the hands of a few top creators. According to data, the top 0.1% of creators earn 15 times more than the top 15% of creators. Despite this, the high-spending user group on the platform has brought OnlyFans a stable source of income.

### Limitations of AI and recommendation algorithms

OnlyFans CEO Keily Blair said in an interview that the platform does not use recommendation algorithms and does not allow AI to generate content. Blair believes that the introduction of AI may bring legal issues such as copyright and attribution, and is not in line with the original intention of protecting the rights of creators. OnlyFans also does not track the source of user traffic, but focuses on providing a safe creator and user experience.

### Response to competition

The main threats facing OnlyFans include the rise of X (formerly Twitter) and generative AI. X will begin to allow pornographic content in 2024, which may create competitive pressure on OnlyFans. The development of generative AI may also affect the landscape of the creator economy, although OnlyFans is currently cautious about the introduction of AI.

In general, OnlyFans has successfully established a highly influential platform in the field of adult content with its unique operating model and protection of creators' rights.
