Community Monster #2- The Local Supermarket

A supermarket that seems to have appeared… or has it always been here? It's hard to remember. But Jenny next door said its great; the deals are affordable and the staff is really friendly. She's taking her kids with her to it now, and offered I go with too.She was right though, the staff is really friendly… but I cant seem to remember where I parked…

Type: Bubble (motivation: to keep inside things inside, and outside things outside)

Effects:

Entering the bubble creates an identical clone of the person who entered. The original person becomes trapped in the bubble. This clone has the original's memories but it's only motivation is to get more people to enter the bubble.

The phenomenon is centered on the local supermarket. People who go shopping there find that they cannot leave, as the parking lot endlessly loops them back to the store. Everyone who visits is trapped inside, and the store's stock is rapidly running out as panic overtakes the shoppers. Worse, there's more than just customers lurking between the aisles…

Weakness: The people who go missing are taken deep into the store's employee-only area and hooked into a horrific organic computing system, that uses them to maximize the store's profits and consumer exploitation. If the hunters remove all the victims from the system, the store and its clones rapidly deteriorate.

Custom: If a hunters are forced into the machine, they must roll Act Under Pressure to escape. On a 10+, they escape it with no issue. On a mix, they take 1 harm ignore armor the implants dig into their flesh and veins or tear out of them. On a miss, they are restrained and trapped there- the other hunters must free them in order for them to get out. If they try to use any move, they take -1 ongoing until they're freed.

Minion: The Employees

They only wish to keep the supermarket going nice and smoothly. They are overly friendly and seemingly nice, but if anyone attempts to escape they become rabid and almost feral-like. Eventually, they will lead shoppers to the Profit-Taker, a bio-mechanical super computer located in the "manager's office" below the store.

Type: Renfield (motivation: to push victims towards the monster)

Supernatural powers, if any: Stronger than humans, weirdly more durable, superhuman speed

Attacks: Razor-sharp nails (1 harm hand) Thick, rubbery skin(+2 armor)

Harm: 7

Weakness: The Supermarket's main source for maintaining order is its employees. The employees have extra strength and durability, however, are extremely sensitive to heat and flames. This is because they are extremely susceptible to getting fired. Using fire on them causes them to lose their armor.

Strengths and weaknesses

I currently am a Meat/Deli/bakery Department Manager at a grocery store, thanks to this I have learned and perfected some of my strengths that would be useful in the entrepreneurial world.

Strong financial acumen: I have a strong record of effectively meeting and exceeding yearly/quarterly budgets while ensuring all department standards are met by controlling shrinkage, costs, and inventory levels. I can forecast sales and product demand effectively ensuring we do not run out and we are maximizing sales, I also minimize loss-leader advertised feature loss by shielding full margin products in displays encouraging customers to purchase an extra item at full price that is relevant to the loss-leader product they are buying. This boosts our gross profit, and margin, while still keeping our sales percentage higher than last year's. This is reflected in every fiscal period's P&L report

People management skills: As a manager, I oversee the work of over 15 employees in the store I have a strong track record of high-quality training, I also endorse a positive work environment by encouraging two-way communication, making my staff and I both feel comfortable and boosting employee productivity while still keeping excellent standards.

As I mentioned earlier, I am a department manager so I am still under a store owner who oversees my work, I am only 21 years old so I still believe I have a lot to learn, My long-term goal is to one day franchisee my own grocery store with the same company I still work with. I still have a lot of weaknesses one of those being my entrepreneurial skills, to help with this, I have enrolled in a business entrepreneurship course, to help me learn the basics and also help me sharpen the skills I already have and use in my everyday life.

Jeb/ The Company Monster: Danger Rank S

Encountering the monstrous entity known as Jeb within the confines of Gordion is a harrowing experience for any unwary employee of The Company. Jeb's appearance is as enigmatic as it is terrifying, resembling a grotesque amalgamation of organic matter, reminiscent of a massive clump of tentacles, tongues, and giant hands. Its size alone is daunting, filling the space it inhabits with a palpable sense of dread. Jeb's strength lies not only in its physical prowess but in its ability to sense and react to noises, whether they originate from the company bell, voices of employees, or any other source within its domain.

Despite its intimidating presence, Jeb is not without weaknesses. Its behavior and likelihood of attack are heavily influenced by its current mood and patience level. Loud noises and prolonged disturbances can gradually wear down Jeb's patience, hastening its aggression. When Jeb's patience reaches its limit, it emits ominous growls as a warning sign before launching into a lethal attack. The creature's attack patterns vary based on its mood, with each type—be it Tentacles, Tongue, or Giant Hand—having distinct animations and timings, offering brief windows of opportunity for evasion.

Should you find yourself facing Jeb, survival hinges on quick thinking and precise action. Avoiding detection is paramount; minimizing noise by moving cautiously and strategically can delay Jeb's response. If Jeb initiates an attack, maintaining composure is essential. Certain positions and actions, such as crouching in specific spots, may offer fleeting protection against its assaults. Understanding the company mood and anticipating its behavioral cues can also aid in survival, as can effective teamwork to manage noise levels and mitigate risks.

Encounters with Jeb are not just about survival but also strategic decision-making. Employees must balance productivity with caution, ensuring that noise levels are kept in check while maximizing efficiency in their duties. Jeb's unpredictable nature demands vigilance and adaptability, turning each interaction into a test of skill and nerve. Ultimately, navigating the perilous presence of Jeb requires a blend of situational awareness, tactical acumen, and perhaps a touch of luck to evade its wrath and emerge unscathed from The Company's forbidding domain.

  @mythvoiced has sent :   "I just want you to know that you're the least trustworthy person I know," Hyun shoves her phone between her ear and her shoulder. Meeting Bellamy in person if she wants to talk to him is a no-go for two reasons: she doesn't want to, that's the primary one, and it would be detrimental to whatever it is the symbolic head of Kakao is planning behind the scenes. Another, smaller reason, is also the irritation of not having what he has to do what he does: decide on whims who to support and who not. Unfortunately, the position that makes it difficult for her to have his kind of liberties, is the same that forces her into being contact with him at all. He's saved as 'the lesser Kang' on her phone. "How quick would you be to stab me in the back?" Another device is facing her. She's been scrolling and typing mindlessly for hours, looking at every social media account that has ever worn Balmain... and figuring out where they are now. That, and prodding at Bellamy to figure out what would get him to snap. Because men always do. "Be honest. I can take it." ((Hyun on the phone with the Kangs is such a wildly different experience if you compare this to her and Aeri-- HYELLO LYNNIE, MWAH ♥))

Seeing Ji Hyun's name on the screen brings a twisted little smile to his lips. The end of his day is dedicated to overlook some of the projects from the marketing team at the Kakao Corp headquarters. Answering through his free hand device, he still keeps an eye on the moodboard before his eyes, two hands down his pockets. Him and Hyun, the tango they have started to dance is Oh so entertaining to him. "Ji Hyun-sshi calling me on my cellphone. How intimate. Worry not, I won't tell your husband." Even through the phone, his smirk can he heard which he knows is annoying to her. "Aaah is this a We Have to Talk situation? I thought our honeymoon phase would last a little longer than that yet here you are, calling me the least trustyworthy person you know huh?" His smirk widens as he gestures to his assistant to bring him the second board, the one before his eyes not satisfying him so much.

"You know what I like the most about you Ji Hyun-sshi? You don't beat around the bush so let''s not bullshit each other into the illusion of a friendship and all should roll like I know it will. You hate my guts, so why would I trust you to be loyal to me for the better and for the worse yeah? We're not family, we're not fucking so I can tell, you will ride by my side as long as it's benefitial for you, as long as you don't feel indebted to me, in, I believe, respect for my business and without compromising your moral compass too much. However : you would ditch me if your boyfriend asks you to or if Allegra finds out about our little Histoire interdite so, expect the same from me." Honest, he couldn't be more than he is now, however he believes that's where lies the strength of their little secret. Hyun and him are nothing to each other so everything they will do will be strictly business; no dramas like he has with his sisters or his cousins, no sentimental yadiyadas, him and Hyun can go straight to the point, make bank and part ways when it's over, he likes that. "Isn't that why our alliance is so good? Nobody will know I go where you go, nobody will notice you go where I go, we can manipulate our away everywhere we want. By the end of the day, you get exactly what you want and I get exactly what I want, too." A pause as a thought crosses his mind. Something he's saving for later. "If it's the Power I have that worries you, I'm not like that. Getting you a seat to places only I can provide access to, is handing a piece of that power to you in order to maximize your influence. I'm not looking for an employee, I got enough for that. We can think ourselves as equels in our little duo." Another dismiss to board as he stands up from his seat as he now walks around the room, leaving his assistant behind, standing in front of the ceiling to flood windows, watching the sky darkening. "Is that what you wanted to hear, Ji Hyun-ssi? Reassurance? That are you're inviting me over for whiskey and cigars, and well, I'm free on sundays."

What We Want Our Future Leaders To Know

What will make a future leader successful? I explored this in my piece, *Portrait of a Future Leader, published as part of Upwork’s Work: Reimagined series on Medium. Really getting down to the nitty-gritty of how major workforce trends will affect leaders was exciting. But I don’t know everything.

What will make a future leader successful? I explored this in my piece, *Portrait of a Future Leader, published as part of Upwork’s Work: Reimagined series on Medium. Really getting down to the nitty-gritty of how major workforce trends will affect leaders was exciting. But I don’t know everything.

I would love for you to weigh in— what’s one quality a future leader absolutely must have?

It turns out we have some of the same ideas. Here are five qualities that I believe are imperative for future leaders, and the valuable perspectives of my peers.

1. High Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

What does a leader with a high EQ look like? They’re curious about people they don’t know, aware of their strengths and weaknesses, skilled in active listening, and aware of their own emotional states, enabling them to respond rather than react.

The qualities that indicate a high EQ are also valued by my peers.

The qualities that indicate a high EQ are also valued by my peers.

I appreciate Susan bringing up compassion, a quality that in the past may have been viewed as a weakness in leaders. A teenager recently asked me how to improve his EQ. I told him to practice kindness and compassion.

You may be asking, isn’t a high EQ important for our current leaders? Yes, it is very important. But in the future, organizations will not be as centralized, and hierarchy will diminish in importance. Leaders will be constantly creating and dismantling teams to complete projects, which requires a strong understanding of building and maintaining relationships.

Another important part of relationship building and maintenance is being a proponent of a purpose-driven strategy and culture.

2. Proponent of a Purpose-Driven Strategy and Culture

The purpose at work is a major driver for the future of work. Leaders will measure success on more than profit and loss.

Last year, Aaron Hurst, author of The Purpose Economy, wrote in The Guardian that we’re “experiencing the rise of the fourth economy in our history, in which a sense of purpose is recognized as a critical human need and driver of innovation.”

He explained that this critical human need was sacrificed in the industrial and technological economies in order to maximize efficiency and scale.

So how does a future leader create a purpose-driven strategy and culture? It starts with valuing more than just profit. He or she must also prioritize the personal development of employees, along with the sense of purpose that each employee embodies, all while continuing to focus on tangible deliverables like targeted goals and bottom-line commitments.

Personal development is also a key to being a successful future leader. The desire to learn is a must.

3. Lifelong Learning

We’ve all witnessed how quickly technology has changed the fabric of our world. The increasing global pace of growth only adds to that rapid-fire change. In order to keep pace, a leader must be constantly learning. Whether this happens in the form of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) or peer-to-peer information exchange is irrelevant. What matters is that the leader of the future wants to learn on a continual basis and prioritizes this need for education.

I agree with Kathleen. Yet many leaders say they don’t have time to learn new skills. So how can organizations instill a sense of constant learning in the cultural DNA? This is an important question to answer as we move into the future of work.

Learning goes beyond mastering the latest technology trends. The demographic makeup of the future workforce is going to be different, requiring leaders to learn to be more culturally aware and able to eliminate bias and discrimination.

4. Diverse to the Core

Future leaders are not straight, white, and male by default. So say goodbye to ‘pale, male, and stale’ and hello to diversity.

Today, only 3.8% of the CEOs at Fortune 500 companies are minorities. This, is despite minorities making up a full 36% of the American workforce. In the future, what we consider minorities will be the majority of consumers, clients, employees, and leaders. This requires that the leaders of the future understand their diverse employees and consumers.

5. Entrepreneurial Mindset

Our new workforce will function as more of an ecosystem than a pyramid, so leaders of the future need to have an entrepreneurial mindset; they need to be agile and innovative. Their ability to pivot, pull teams together quickly, and exhibit out-of-the-box thinking will influence their success in a decentralized structure that is constantly evolving.

Jennifer and Paul make a good point. Part of being entrepreneurial is pulling together people who will fill the gaps in your abilities, inspire you, and take you to the next level. There is no room for feeling threatened in the future of work. Entrepreneurs need to be too good to ignore.

Outside of the five qualities I believe exemplify our future leaders, Mike brings a valid quality to the table.

Leaders of the future will be facing an exciting and ever-evolving workplace and economic landscape. If they do not believe in themselves, they will become daunted by all of the change happening around them. A leader needs to create a vision that people believe in and want to contribute to. That takes confidence.

There’s a tsunami of change ahead but the changes will deeply enrich the culture of organizations. With a high EQ, purpose-driven motivation, a love of learning, a deep interest in diversity, and an entrepreneurial mindset, the leaders of the future will surely thrive.

Now it’s your turn.  What’s one quality a future leader absolutely must have? I can’t wait to continue the discussion.

Which canon trolls- Hiveswap and Homestuck- do you think your fantrolls would get along the most with?

Ooohh canon trolls 👀

Ofi would like hanging out with the nicer trolls I feel, she's especially kind to the younger ones as well. On the flipside, she has notoriety for hanging out with... odd ones as well. Out of curiosity I want to see how Ofi's nosiness will work on Marsti lmao 😂

Tbh I think generally she will get along with most of the trolls, but she would easily get along with openly caring people like Feferi, Karkat (with a little bit of coaxing), MSPAR, Skylla, or Bronya. Definitely will vent about Zebruh with Chixie. She needs to be careful around Elwurd though!

--

Das just... wouldn't even try to get along with anyone. He's just there to work, and won't even be interested to interact with anyone unless he really needs to or they seem interesting to him.

He will definitely curious about MSPAR's "chaotic vibe" and Boldir's sneakiness. He would find Karkat's rambling funny as well with how much the guy will spiral down. He's already actively rooting for Ofi & Zebruh's pitch (for entertainment), but personally he doesn't like to hang around Zebruh by himself. It's more of how other people would tolerate him most of the time, I think.

Weirdly enough I can see him bro-ing with Sollux, even if Sollux most likely couldn't stand his ass so it would be the usual Wanlyn one-sided bro-ing lmao. He'd like how practical and blunt he is. Would be initially interested in Gamzee as well (at least until he became sober). Would grab popcorn and watch Eridan's shenanigans and noting how lousy he is with his quadmates (like a kettle calling pot black).

--

Ven would approach people with her managerial mindset. She's definitely the type who will like more competent trolls and have appreciations for specialists.

She'll appreciate Stelsa's punctuality and Tyzias' diligence as fellow teals, but also Tagora's shrewdness with clauses, Remele's quick thinking & adaptability, even Galekh's & Nihkee's passion for their respective fields. She also understand the importance of connection, and I think people would be surprise at how many acquaintances she actually has if they just see how aloof she is at work. Definitely will get along with the chiller, older trolls (as she is older herself and only sweep away to get shipped off planet).

If we're talking about the main Homestuck troll, she'll be chilling with Kanaya and very tempted to recruit Sollux as the IT guy lmao. She'll be interested in Terezi (fellow mind players eyyy), trying to figure out how she works. She would appreciate Equius' tech savviness too (I believe she could work around his weirder sides).

--

Zaojun just want to cook, man. Let the man cook lmao.

Jokes aside, he is known to be amiable both with his customers and employees. As long as they can pay for the food & enjoy them, no matter what blood color they are, it makes him happy.

Will gladly serve different kind of oblong meat products variations for Diemen (he would consider it a challenge) and give extra portions to the younger trolls or Chixie (because she's so smol) to encourage their growth to be a strong adult trolls.

I hc sometimes Marsti come over to deep clean the establishment regularly too, because the payment is good and restaurant will always need cleaning. He will give her free meals as a bonus as well!

Might will bond nicely with Nihkee as well with how passionate they are on their own crafts. Just blueblood thing, ykno. He can help her figuring out the best diet for her workout routine and she appreciates how much hard work a chef is doing on daily, helping him with his own workout routine in return to maximize his strength and efficiency in the kitchen. I love these supportive ripped buddies.

--

Rozaya... well. I hc her getting along really well with Skylla. I will elaborate about it one day 👀

As a cloistered head jade with a penchant for sneaking out, she has this knowing understanding toward Bronya as well, though she typically avoid any jades in the wild. I can see her tolerating Lanque, because they kinda have the same motivation but different approach.

Her party mode is very approachable in a non-commital way. She would typically get along well with fellow party goers like Diemen, Skylla, and hotdog troll. Would have some chats with Elwurd but knows better not to elaborate further. Heck, she will even chat with Chahut or Ardata, just a quick hi or cocktail talk. She never stayed too long for people to get to know her better though... because the less people remembers her out there, the better it is for her safety.

For the main Homestuck trolls, she could bond with Kanaya and probably a bit jealous of her circumstances to be able to live in the open. She's confident enough that Eridan wouldn't be able to cull her lusus (gharial lusus is deep within the cavern) and will hangout with Feferi on the shore. Probably will listen to Nepeta's quadrant ramblings too and giving her thought on the ships here and there just for fun lmao. And IF Aradia is still alive, I can see her fascinated with her interest in death and doom (also, fellow time players!)

The Importance Of Streamlining Construction Projects

Supervising construction projects is crucial to maintaining the organization's integrity, demonstrating a sincere work ethic and living up to customer’s expectations. Nowadays, engineers use beacons, automated technology and AI-powered systems to ensure that all their construction work is successfully accomplished before the deadline. 

They abide by all the parameters of the construction modules, conduct labour checks, manage the equipment and use engineering software to mitigate the challenges in the process. 

Here's a rundown of the importance of construction firms:-

Provide immense opportunities for growth 

Several firms have sprung up worldwide that provide businesses with high-quality project management services. These offer architects customized digital solutions that help them devise ways to capitalize on their strengths, adhere to the work protocols and allocate the budget for every construction endeavor. 

The best construction consulting firms embrace new opportunities and follow strategies that tip the scale in their favor. These agencies employ a team of professionals who assess the parameters of construction and ensure that the work is streamlined in order to make optimum use of the available resources such as labour, concrete, cement, digital imaging software and construction equipment. 

Being the best in their realm of work is what makes construction firms scale their organization to great heights. The employees work in close units to provide impeccable customer service and deliver results. These supervise all the stages of the construction process and see whether the engineers are equipped with all the facilities to carry on with their work. 

Make use of their resources carefully to maximize profits 

For instance, a construction management company might think of ways to use the best engineering software, utilize human capital, plan the layout of the buildings and help experts plan the structure of their work. 

While planning the construction work, the engineers decide on the site and organize all the activities by relying on a wide range of tools and effective technology. During the construction process that encompasses building concrete structures with a humongous structural framework, the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. There is a level of transparency in the procedures that allows no room for any discrepancy. 

Summing it up, companies such as DGJ have a skilled panel of analysts, project coordinators, and supervisors who ensure that businesses can easily accomplish their endeavors. The firm has been showered with compliments, felicitated on several occasions and conferred different sobriquets for its high-quality services in the realm of engineering and effortless construction. 

Takeaway

To avail of project management services, visit DG Jones. The agency caters to several blue-chip organizations to help them develop effective business practices and chisel their work methodology.

Why Every Entrepreneur in London, Ontario Should Consult an Accountant

Running a business involves wearing many hats, from handling day-to-day operations to strategizing for long-term growth. While passion and vision are essential for any entrepreneur, managing finances can be a complex and daunting task. This is where consulting an accountant in London, Ontario becomes invaluable. Whether you’re a start-up or an established business owner, having an accountant can help ensure your business thrives in the competitive landscape of London’s growing economy.

The Financial Expertise You Need

One of the primary reasons every entrepreneur should seek the services of an accountant in London, Ontario is the level of financial expertise they bring to the table. Accountants are trained to understand the intricacies of financial regulations, tax laws, and best practices for managing business accounts. Entrepreneurs often face financial challenges such as maintaining cash flow, managing payroll, and ensuring tax compliance. By consulting an accountant, you tap into their wealth of knowledge and skills, which can save your business both time and money.

Why It Matters: Having a dedicated accountant ensures you make informed financial decisions, reducing the risk of errors or costly mistakes that could affect your business.

Tax Planning and Compliance

Tax regulations in Canada are complex and ever-evolving. Business owners in London, Ontario must navigate a myriad of tax codes and ensure they are in compliance with local, provincial, and federal tax requirements. Mistakes in tax filings can result in penalties or audits, which can be both financially damaging and stressful.

By hiring an experienced accountant in London, Ontario, you ensure that your business is always in compliance with tax laws. Not only can accountants handle your yearly tax filings, but they can also provide year-round tax planning advice, helping you minimize liabilities and maximize deductions. This proactive approach can make a significant difference in your bottom line, especially as your business grows.

Financial Forecasting and Budgeting

A strong financial foundation is key to any successful business. Many entrepreneurs, particularly those in the early stages of business development, struggle with creating realistic budgets and financial forecasts. This is where an accountant's role becomes critical.

An accountant in London, Ontario can assist in creating detailed financial forecasts, helping you understand cash flow projections and potential financial challenges. Additionally, they can guide you in setting up an effective budgeting system that keeps your spending in check while ensuring you allocate funds to growth areas. Accurate budgeting also helps you avoid overspending and provides a clear picture of where your business stands financially at any given time.

Tip: A strong budgeting and forecasting system can not only improve your business’s financial health but also attract investors or secure loans, as it showcases a well-managed and financially sound enterprise.

Business Growth and Expansion

As your business grows, so do your financial needs. Whether you are planning to expand your operations, hire more employees, or invest in new technology, these decisions come with significant financial implications. An accountant in London, Ontario can help you plan for business growth by analyzing your current financial situation, identifying areas for improvement, and creating strategies to support expansion.

Furthermore, accountants are skilled at conducting financial health assessments, which provide entrepreneurs with a clear understanding of their business's strengths and weaknesses. This insight is crucial when making key business decisions or approaching investors for additional funding.

Risk Management and Decision-Making

Entrepreneurship is inherently risky, and managing financial risks is an essential part of running a successful business. An accountant can help entrepreneurs identify potential financial risks, such as overspending, insufficient cash flow, or poor investment choices, and develop strategies to mitigate them.

Additionally, accountants play a pivotal role in decision-making by providing financial data and analysis that can guide business strategies. Whether you’re considering expanding into a new market, investing in new equipment, or launching a new product line, an accountant in London, Ontario can help you evaluate the financial impact of your decisions, ensuring they align with your business goals.

Cash Flow Management

Effective cash flow management is crucial for any business, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Poor cash flow can lead to late payments, inability to pay employees, or even business failure. By consulting an accountant in London, Ontario, entrepreneurs can get a handle on their cash flow by setting up systems that track income and expenses more effectively. Accountants can help identify bottlenecks in the cash flow cycle and suggest ways to improve it, ensuring that your business has enough liquidity to meet its obligations.

Saving Time and Reducing Stress

By implementing these assessments, organizations can make informed decisions about training, promotions, and succession planning, ensuring they have the right talent in the right positions.

The Role of Employee Capability Assessments

An employee capability assessment evaluates an individual’s ability to meet the demands of their role and perform tasks effectively. This assessment is crucial for understanding whether employees are functioning at their full potential or if there are gaps that need to be addressed. It can also highlight employees who are ready for more responsibility or leadership roles within the organization.

These assessments are not only beneficial for the company but also for employees, as they provide valuable feedback on areas where they can improve and grow within their roles.

What Is a Capability Assessment and Why Is It Important?

For those unfamiliar with the concept, what is capability assessment? Simply put, a capability assessment is a tool used to measure an individual's skills, knowledge, and abilities in relation to their job responsibilities. It evaluates whether employees possess the competencies necessary to succeed in their roles and contribute to the organization’s success.

The importance of capability assessments lies in their ability to identify strengths and weaknesses, allowing employers to create targeted development plans. This not only helps improve individual performance but also boosts overall organizational productivity.

How Enterprise SaaS Companies Can Thrive in an AI-Driven World

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/how-enterprise-saas-companies-can-thrive-in-an-ai-driven-world/

How Enterprise SaaS Companies Can Thrive in an AI-Driven World

AI continues to dominate conversations surrounding modern knowledge work, weaving itself into the everyday processes of countless industries. As businesses continue to find utility in AI, sentiment towards it hovers somewhere between cautious optimism and outright skepticism.

Within the business world, many are seeing the technology’s usefulness while also grappling with its potential to alter the way many job roles function. It appears the fear that AI will wholly replace or eliminate jobs has largely faded and has been replaced by change fatigue; workers are being asked to make the most of AI to unlock its potential, and that is upending long-established positions.

SaaS companies are specifically under mounting pressure to stay competitive as AI continues to transform how systems function within organizations. By embracing AI, however, enterprise SaaS companies can leverage what they do best while supercharging their output to offer clients the best of both worlds.

Where AI Poses a Threat to SaaS

As AI becomes more ingrained in business, it’s changing how companies deploy and engage with SaaS platforms. Many SaaS companies are now asking: How will my business be affected by the rise of AI?

There’s no definitive answer, but there are some clues to help inform a business’s long-term viability. The things AI does well —  report generation, content generation, insight gathering, and more — can be a threat to SaaS platforms that focus on those outputs.

Broadly speaking, though, the biggest fear surrounding AI isn’t necessarily on the macro level but rather on the individual worker level. Companies will still need SaaS platforms to tackle a number of business cases, but certain roles that focus on AI’s core competencies may be at risk of augmentation. That’s not to say these jobs will be eliminated entirely, but there may be an increased focus on leveraging AI to maximize productivity and value, and therefore an increased pressure on these employees to learn, understand, and incorporate AI into their daily work.

Of course, with AI’s exponential growth and adoption, it’s impossible to say what the next five years of development will mean for SaaS companies. Analyzing risk means understanding a business’ strengths and comparing them with the areas in which AI excels. What’s clear is that AI is a powerful tool, and the platforms and workers who harness it the most effectively will be better off in the long run.

Why AI Can’t Replace SaaS Platforms

One of the more interesting applications of AI is its ability to write code. Business leaders have long theorized that AI could generate the code needed to create SaaS solutions, but when you spell it out, it feels a bit like science fiction: a business sees a software need, describes the product to an AI engine and voila, you have a custom-built SaaS platform.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), we’re not much closer to that reality now than we were 30 years ago. The technical skill required to create the complex systems that underpin SaaS platforms is far beyond what generative AI can conjure and will still require human input for the foreseeable future.

SaaS providers contain deep domain expertise that businesses rely on. If businesses could describe a SaaS platform in enough detail to where AI could generate software around it, they may not need a SaaS vendor in the first place. Understanding the ins and outs of their particular industry is key to SaaS success.

Knowing an industry is big, but knowing a product is even bigger. SaaS platforms understand their product better than anybody, and their robust customer relationships mean they understand their clients’ use cases better than any technology as well. One of the keys to long-term SaaS viability is the ability to know how a client can use their product to maximize its efficacy for their business.

Finally, SaaS platforms rely on established data ecosystems that make them indispensable for their clients. These ecosystems work to conform to industry standard data protocols and aid in data governance and security. They also help enable integrations with other platforms and provide a consistent data language that helps build scalable solutions.

How Embracing AI Gives SaaS Platforms the Edge

Taking the long view, it’s clear that AI isn’t a replacement for SaaS platforms but a tool to supercharge performance. The platforms that understand how best to integrate this technology will distinguish themselves in a crowded field. As AI continues to evolve, these capabilities are not just going to be differentiation points but table stakes for all SaaS platforms.

Integrating AI-driven features like robust, on-demand insights and enriched report generation gives clients the ability to turn raw data into something actionable the moment they need it. Reducing the lag between data collection and implementation is a major advantage for agile businesses.

AI is also excellent at enabling personalization at scale. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of user behavioral data and preferences to deliver highly tailored and customized experiences. Creating an adaptable platform based on the needs and preferences of the end user not only improves user satisfaction but also drives higher engagement and platform utility, ultimately making the platform more valuable to clients.

Last but not least, AI can help bolster operational efficiency in SaaS platforms. Integrating natural language processing guides, chatbots, and other instructional elements can help clients make the most of the platform without needing one-on-one interactions from the provider. Through AI, SaaS leaders can reduce the need for manual intervention, minimize errors, and speed up service delivery.

Even though AI is new and exciting, and it sometimes feels like businesses want to replace all of their current vendors with the latest AI tool they can get their hands on, clients don’t want to eliminate their investment in SaaS platforms. What they want is to know that the platforms they’re investing in are leveraging modern technologies like AI in the most effective ways possible. For SaaS providers, integrating AI helps bolster platform business cases and demonstrates to clients a willingness to adapt to the times.

How a Commercial Solar System Can Benefit Your Business

Adding solar to your business has a variety of benefits. It can reduce electricity costs, increase a company’s reputation as an environmentally-friendly brand, and foster employee pride.

A commercial solar system produces electricity by converting sunlight into direct current (DC) energy using photovoltaic cells. This is then transformed into alternating current (AC) electricity by a device called an inverter.

Rooftop

Commercial rooftops are a prime location for solar energy. The systems are usually cheaper than ground-mounted options, and they make use of the building structure that already exists. In addition, if businesses sign PPAs with local utilities, they can realize immediate savings on their electricity costs.

PV arrays on flat commercial roofs can be optimally positioned to maximize solar output, depending on the orientation of the sun and the tilt angle of the panels. Bifacial designs also capture reflected sunlight in addition to direct radiation, further increasing efficiency.

Rooftop PV systems can add additional weight to the roof system, and engineers need to ensure that the roof’s framework can support this extra load. Design teams should consider using a membrane with a higher thickness to help offset these added loads. They should also specify insulation with a high compressive strength, as this will better distribute loads and reduce the potential for crushing the roof membrane.

Carport

Solar carports are a great solution for commercial properties with lots of parking spaces. They employ the same technology as rooftop solar panels, transforming sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. This electricity is then sent to the grid.

Carports are effective in large commercial settings, where ground space is plentiful but too valuable to dedicate to solar energy production. They’re also helpful in residential settings with space constraints like insufficient roof area.

In addition to their utility, carports help companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and create value for employees and customers. They can even be equipped with integrated electric vehicle charging stations, preparing businesses for the growing EV market. Unlike rooftop solar, solar carports require a larger land footprint and are subject to additional inspections and zoning requirements. GreenLancer can provide solar plan sets and engineering stamps to help streamline the permit process. Getting your project off the ground quickly is critical to keeping timelines low and costs down.

Ground-Mounted

Ground-mounted commercial solar systems require extra land to host the racking system, inverters, combiner boxes and electrical subpanels. Often, this space wouldn’t otherwise be used and the investment can yield a quick return on the money saved on energy bills and the profits gained through selling excess electricity back to the grid.

Compared to rooftop installations, ground-mounted systems are easier to maintain because the panels can be accessed without climbing on the roof. This makes it a good option for properties that have ample areas of sunlight unobscured by structures or trees that could cast shadows on the panels and negatively impact electricity production.

Additionally, with a ground-mounted system, your solar installer can choose the optimal fixed angle facing the sun that maximizes electricity production for your specific location and conditions. The racking system with SolarEdge MLPE technology is also engineered to deliver superior performance in harsh environments, minimizing energy loss due to soiling or shading.

Battery Storage

With a commercial solar battery energy storage system, organizations can take control of their power needs and mitigate costs by storing low-cost renewable green electricity when the sun isn’t shining. They can also benefit from additional revenue streams by using their batteries to assist with grid stability and participate in capacity markets.

Throughout the day, battery storage systems capture excess green energy and store it for use later in the day or during peak demand times. They then prioritize self-consumption of this green energy to save businesses money on their demand charges which are based on their highest energy usage during the billing cycle.

Organisations can choose to purchase a commercial solar + storage system outright and enjoy direct ownership and full benefits of energy cost savings and tax incentives. Or, they can opt to lease their solar battery energy storage system from a third-party provider and pay a monthly fee for the privilege. This helps to eliminate upfront costs and avoid any ongoing operational or maintenance responsibilities.
