And then I read …

This is largely because the Bureau of Economic Analysis treats homeowners as landlords renting to themselves, and includes the rental value in GDP. If economists did not include this value, a jump in the homeownership rate would cause GDP to drop.

Talk about measuring the wrong things!

🔗 Transformation? Enough Already..

The corporate obsession with transformation is outdated - and continues to fail. Decades of data show most efforts don’t work, so rather than chasing grand, one-time overhauls, organisations must embrace continuous adaptation: flexible structures, people-first strategies, and real-time responses to shifting markets and needs. Change isn’t a ‘one-and-done’ project, it’s a lifetime commitment. Stop transforming. Start adapting. That’s the edge. That’s survival.
