Nicolas Fleury hat dies geteiltNicolas Fleury hat dies geteiltUN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has published its Global Trade Update (May 2026), examining the costs of non-tariff measures (NTMs) on global trade. The report finds that, despite tariff hikes in 2025, NTMs continue to impose higher export costs than tariffs for 88 per cent of countries, with smaller developing countries and LDCs bearing a disproportionate burden. 🔎 Full report linked in the comments below. The report draws on Global Trade Alert data, finding that new non-tariff barriers were almost twice as frequent as new tariff measures in 2025. 📊 For the latest data on global trade policy developments, explore the GTA Data Center (link in the comments). #GlobalTrade #UNCTAD #TradePolicy #Tariffs

Nicolas Fleury hat dies geteilt“Pointing out mistakes, challenging assumptions, and raising uncomfortable questions are essential for learning. Yet in many International Organizations, such criticism is silenced, undermining their own learning systems.” Looking forward to reading Ben Christian’s book! #standardization #conflictmanagement #culturechange #theunstandardizedNicolas Fleury hat dies geteiltPRESENTING ‼️ Ben Christian and his upcoming book 'The Criticism Dilemma in International Organizations', made under contract with Oxford University Press! 📖 🔎 Today at a meeting with the INNER_LEAGUE team, researcher Ben Christian did a presentation on the internal criticism culture in the UN Secretariat examined in chapter 3 and 4 of his book. Abstract - International organisations matter, but they are far from perfect ❌ Why do international organisations (IOs) so often fail to learn from their mistakes? The answer lies in an overlooked factor: how IOs deal with criticism from their own staff. The first systematic study of internal criticism cultures in IOs shows that organisational learning depends not only on formal infrastructures but also on whether staff feel able to voice criticism from within. Pointing out mistakes, challenging assumptions, and raising uncomfortable questions are essential for learning. Yet in many IOs, such criticism is silenced, undermining their own learning systems. These learning deficits result from a critical dilemma. While IOs need internal criticism to learn, they cannot (and must not) fully leverage it. They are caught between a logic of learning and a logic of survival: repressive criticism cultures hinder learning but preserve IOs’ internal cohesion and external reputations, enabling them to act in politically demanding environments. Ben Christian explains this dilemma theoretically and shows how IOs deal with it empirically. Source material and empirical approach 🔬 📚 🌐 Drawing on organisation theory and sociological-institutionalist research, Ben examines critical cultures in the United Nations Secretariat, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Intellectual Property Organization. Based on 90 interviews with staff conducted in New York, Rome, and Geneva, as well as extensive document analysis, he reveals why learning deficits persist and how some employees nevertheless manage to make their criticism heard. About Ben 👨💼 🕶️ Ben Christian is a political scientist and postdoctoral researcher at Goethe University Frankfurt and an associate fellow at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF). His research examines how global governance is made in the “engine rooms” of international institutions. He studies the everyday practices, organisational dynamics, and negotiation processes through which international organisations operate. In doing so, he seeks to understand how these processes shape institutional outputs in times of rising geopolitical fractures. His work has appeared in International Studies Quarterly, Journal of European Public Policy, Global Studies Quarterly, Journal of International Relations & Development, and the Oxford Handbook of International Political Sociology. 💼 🖋️

Nicolas Fleury hat dies repostetNicolas Fleury hat dies repostetEngineers don't always know which standard they need. They know the problem they're trying to solve. Most search tools require an exact document number or title to return anything useful. That's a barrier before the work even starts. And once the right document is found, the challenge shifts. Dense technical standards don't give up their answers easily. Manual scanning and keyword searches miss context, miss related sections, miss the point entirely. Watch how a plain-language phrase gets you to the right standard, and a semantic query takes you straight to the answer inside it.

Nicolas Fleury hat dies repostetNicolas Fleury hat dies repostetMost supply chain leaders think they have visibility. Most don't. Accuris's new whitepaper, The Intelligence Gap, reveals a dangerous gap between dashboard confidence and operational reality. Surveying 400+ professionals across manufacturing sectors, the research found that: - 74% of engineers spend 4+ hours per week monitoring BOMs for risk, yet still miss 26% of emerging issues - 62% of compliance teams discover violations post-design, when remediation costs are highest - $1M in engineering capacity disappears annually into BOM tracking and datasheet extraction for a 20-person team Learn More: https://hubs.la/Q04hcswM0 #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #Electronics #BOM #RiskManagement #SupplyChainIntelligence

Nicolas Fleury hat dies repostetNicolas Fleury hat dies repostetYour organization probably tracks what it spends on legacy standards systems. You probably don't track what those systems cost you in delayed decisions, missed updates, and rework that never gets traced back to the root cause. That's the argument in Accuris CPO Duane Newman latest article for VMblog: the visible costs of staying on outdated tools are manageable. The invisible ones, slower engineering cycles, standards changes that don't reach the right team, compliance gaps that surface at the worst moment, are where the real damage happens. Read the full piece to see how leading engineering organizations are reframing the modernization case around what they're losing, not just what they're paying. https://lnkd.in/eHxkCq44 #EngineeringIntelligence #EngineeringExcellence #AdvancedManufacturing #RiskManagement

Nicolas Fleury hat dies repostetNicolas Fleury hat dies repostetThe EWB Mobile App is now available on iOS and Android. Most field engineers make critical decisions without a laptop, a signal, or a way to verify the standard they're working from is still current. The risk isn't created at the audit. It's created the moment an engineer makes a call from memory because the right information wasn't within reach. One wrong version can trigger rework, a failed audit, or a safety incident. And it happens long before anyone knows to look. Now it doesn't have to. Download the EWB Mobile App and give your field teams access to current, licensed standards wherever the job takes them.

Nicolas Fleury gefällt dasNicolas Fleury gefällt dasEurope must decide how to integrate Agentic AI. Choices come with major economic and political implications: 1. Massive Trade Deficits: Importing 100% of foundational AI services threatens to create a 1-trillion-euro European trade deficit over the next three to four years. 2. Foreign R&D Subsidies: European software spending directly funds US-based research and development, permanently trapping Europe in a secondary technological tier. 3. Corporate Value Decoupling: Exponential 10x to 20x AI productivity gains break traditional corporate HR, compensation, and management models built over the last forty years. 4. Energy Grid Capture: US hyperscalers are rapidly consuming Europe's available electrical capacity, creating an infrastructure lock-out for domestic AI firms within a strict two-year window. 5. Regulatory Asymmetry: Complex European compliance rules act as barriers to entry for local startups while highly capitalized US monopolies easily fund the overhead. 6. Subcontracting vs. Procurement: Europe continuously subcontracts its public tech needs, failing to use its public sector GDP to build domestic tech champions the way the US uses DARPA and NASA.

Nicolas Fleury gefällt dasNicolas Fleury gefällt dasTo my network in the wealth space... TIGER 21 in Switzerland 🇨🇭, a unique safe space for #UHNWI-peer #governance! At our May-meeting, we went to visit our close cousins in Milan 🇮🇹. It was a jam-packed and very intensive meeting with my Swiss and the Milan-groups of highly interesting people sharing their views on the topics that matter. Of course, we also got to enjoy Milan’s delights 🥗🍝🍧 Many thanks to my friend and fellow-Chair, the erudite Carlo Alberto Demichelis, for hosting, we are looking forward to seeing you soon again! As a Swiss-based group we are particularly happy with the international expansion enabling ever more insights and meaningful connections, and, given we already vary between Zurich and Geneva and more, Milan is now firmly included, thanks of course to the excellent 🇨🇭 train connections. At our monthly Tiger 21-meeting we exchange not only on economics and markets, but also on other major meaningful topics, such as geopolitics, health, philanthropy, policies, politics and wellbeing, but also private matters of any nature. Of course, always in a high-integrity space and always respectful (and fun 😀 ). cc Eric G. Sarasin Florian Kemmerich Alpha Governance Partners #peergovernance #genuineconnections

Nicolas Fleury gefällt dasNicolas Fleury gefällt dasKnowing a standard changed is not enough. Knowing what it means for your designs is where most teams fall short. A standards alert tells you something changed. It does not tell you what to do next. Change Intelligence does. It means knowing the context behind a revision, understanding exactly where it affects your designs and requirements, and keeping every decision traceable to its verified source. Those three things together are what let engineering teams respond correctly, not just quickly, and prove it when an auditor asks. See how Engineering Workbench gives your team the clarity to act on every standards update and the proof to defend it. https://hubs.la/Q046XB1G0 #Engineering #QualityManagement #Compliance #EngineeringIntelligence #Standards

Nicolas Fleury gefällt dasMost companies want to be customer-centric. Only a few are. The intention to be customer-centric is real and honest, the benefits seem obvious, but common sense is not common practice. To help companies become more customer-centric, I have developed the #customerstar, which puts customers' needs and wants at the center of their activities. During the Master's Degree class next week, we will apply this idea through a case discussion and make it real. Enrollment is still open if you have not registered yet. IMD Alyson Meister Alison Andersen Mark Reimer Karin Ahlner-Feij Delia Fischer [she/her] Sabine Beuzelin-Mayer PS. The title of the case is "The Esoteric Client." Trust me, it cannot get better than this 🙈Nicolas Fleury gefällt dasWhat truly sets great leaders apart in today’s competitive landscape? In a world where products can be copied and strategies quickly imitated, competitive advantage comes down to one thing: how deeply you understand - and organize around - your customer. Yet “customer centricity” is often treated as a buzzword rather than a leadership discipline. Join us in Zurich on 4 June for an immersive, in-person masterclass with Professor Stefan Michel, Dean of Faculty and Research at IMD, where you’ll explore what it really means to lead with the customer at the center. Through a dynamic case discussion, you will: • Challenge assumptions about customer centricity beyond service excellence • Discover how culture shapes – and sometimes limits – strategy • Understand why leadership is the critical force connecting customer focus, culture, and business outcomes This session offers a glimpse into the IMD Executive MBA experience – where learning goes beyond theory to connecting the dots in real time, under pressure and ambiguity. Curious about what’s next for your leadership journey? Following the masterclass, join an information session to: • Explore the EMBA structure and learning journey • Hear directly from Program Advisors and Alumni • Understand how IMD helps leaders accelerate their impact 🗓 Agenda highlights 18:30 – Welcome & registration 19:00 – Masterclass 19:50 – EMBA presentation 20:20 – Networking cocktail 👉 Register here to secure your place: https://bit.ly/4vC3jQO #IMD #IMDImpact #EMBA #Leadership #CustomerCentricity #ExecutiveEducation #Zurich #LeadershipDevelopment
