"Since UFC300 has anyone else looked into Austrian economic theory?" is a question I never thought I'd ask. But in the victory speech of Renato Moicano, and my subsequent awareness of Ludwig von Mises' thoughts, arrived around the same few days as the Bernanke report on the Bank of England the whole structure of forecasting has been on my mind whilst wrestling with jet lag having arrived back from New Zealand on that day. It would be helpful to understand more about the models used in forecasting. I'll grant this may not be exciting to many but it is something we should be able to understand and it does impact our lives in almost every way possible from availability of mortgages to the interest on your savings and whether your employer may struggle to grow their business. And for those working in Financial Services it impacts interest rates, stress/forecasts and much more. In the UK do HMT(Treasury), Bank of England and Office for Budgetary Responsibility all use similar models and how are they connected? What about the IMF and other supranational bodies? Are they all Keynesian? Are there any other economic theories considered? And if they don't consider some of the thinking supported by the UFC300 fighter, Renato Moicano, from Brazil then why not? Are they assuming that no change of thinking will be successful...[this is not an advert for Liz Truss' latest book by the way] If you missed the excitement you can find the video here and more about the principles which I would have considered libertarian. Interested to hear your views... #liquidityconsultants #UFC300 #Bernanke #vonMises https://lnkd.in/en3KhAAy

Going for Gold …..You will find in the latest ACCA PM examiner’s article a question on Regression Analysis. This is the first time we have seen an actual sample exam question on the topic since this was reintroduced to the syllabus 3 years ago. I wrote a PQ Magazine article after the Tokyo Olympics to introduce this topic area to PM sitters. Here I correlate GB Olympic sports funding to medals. Do you think 🤔 correlation necessarily means causality? I will update this after the Paris Olympics, Graham Hambly 👍 #accaglobal #olympics #correlation #UKsport #teamGB

I look forward to teaching another group in my modules in Advanced Emotional Intelligence

The Masters golf tournament and successful investing may seem like two completely different worlds, but they share many similarities in terms of tradition. Both have established practices that have stood the test of time, and both require a combination of skill, strategy, and patience to succeed. https://hubs.la/Q02qzvDt0 #Investing #TheMasters #CummingsWealthManagement

Thought of the day: No one has a divine right to victory ✌️ Watching Euro 2024 has been a masterclass in humility and the dangers of complacency. Portugal, England, and France—powerhouses of soccer—have all stumbled against opponents they were expected to dominate. In business, as in sports, past victories don't guarantee future wins. The landscape is constantly shifting, with new challengers emerging and unexpected disruptions occurring. Companies that rest on their laurels and assume their dominance will continue are often caught off guard when the underdogs start to outmaneuver them. The lesson from Euro 2024 is clear: There are no guarantees in any arena. Success requires a combination of talent, hard work, adaptability, and a healthy dose of humility — qualities we strive to cultivate at Ionia.

Failure hurts. On Sunday Scotland lost to Hungary in Euro 2024 and exited the tournament. We have never qualified into the knock-out stage of World Cup or European Championship despite producing almost 40 players who won the European Cup or Champions League at club level. Yesterday I was glum and many of my poor colleagues patiently listened to me moaning about why Scotland always do so badly. Sorry everyone. I'll try not to bore you about it today. I know that failure, or mistakes, can be useful things in life. They give us valuable lessons. The mistakes I made when I started to manage people taught me a lot: I was too cautious about giving feedback, and this really didn't help my team members. I also didn't share my own thoughts or personality enough which made me seem alien to some people. Hopefully I'm more relatable now. In fact, people probably wish I'd sometimes show a bit less personality! In NIIT we understand that mistakes are part of learning, and actually design our courses to give the learner the chance to make critical mistakes in a safe way. Making the mistake is often more emotional and memorable than just being told what the right step is. I'll add a link to Gregg Collins describing the approach of Critical Mistake Analysis as a comment. I'd love to think that Scotland will learn from the experience and do better in the next tournament, but even an eternal optimist like me knows better. The positive from Sunday evening was that I wore the 1978-style Scotland top in this picture and bumped into a fellow Scot who watched the game with me. Sharing the pain helped make it bearable.

#LetsKickOff The Importance of Academies in #MultiClubOwnership (MCO). In the competitive landscape of modern football, Multi-Club Ownership has emerged as a strategic approach to enhance performance and sustainability. At the heart of this strategy lies the importance of academies, which serve as the backbone for nurturing talent, optimizing resources, and securing long-term success. Academies serve as breeding grounds for talent, providing a continuous stream of players for affiliated clubs, a cost-effective option that allows clubs to develop their players as opposed to buying them, reducing the dependency on costly transfers. By producing their own assets, football clubs can achieve the same levels of quality within the squad while spending considerably less money. Successful youth development programs can also create opportunities for lucrative player sales, generating revenue and giving the owners the option of reinvesting in further talent development. By directing resources towards this area of business, club owners are taking the first step in achieving long-term success. Over the course of time, Portugal has proven to be a talent development gold mine, with players like Eusébio, Figo, and Cristiano Ronaldo all receiving Ballons D’or. The #KickOffFund MCO’s first acquired asset, CF Estrela da Amadora SAD, has been working hard towards youth development excellence, taking advantage of the talent that exists in its country. This past season, four CF Estrela da Amadora SAD teams (U15, U17, U18, and U19) were promoted to a higher division, increasing the value of each one of the 150 players by 50%. A prime example of the club’s commitment to youth development is Rúben Dias. Born and raised in Amadora, Rúben Dias made his way up from CF Estrela da Amadora SAD's academy to the top of the football pyramid. Treble winner with Manchester City, and currently valued at €80M, the Portuguese center-back is considered one of the best defenders in the world. Academies are and will always be an essential part of a football club, unlocking its full potential with Multi-Club Ownership (MCO). #MultiClubOwnership #Football #NobleCapital #GoldenVisa #GoldenVisaPortugal #CitizenshipByInvestment
