A real strategy isn’t a comprehensive list of good ideas. It’s a set of choices backed by data and available resources. When an ungrounded model dictates your growth roadmap, it defaults to “more,” not “better,” operates in a contextual vacuum, projects false certainty and can’t own the tradeoffs. Before asking AI for a strategy, provide it with real financials, pipeline realities, team constraints, customer data and existing marketing data. I have observed many founders or marketers regularly enter the same…

Key Takeaways For Nestlé CEO Philipp Navratil, offering candid feedback didn’t come naturally. The CEO changed how he managed direct reports early in his career after realizing that he needed to give them honest feedback so they could improve.

The company’s CEO, Philipp Navratil, joined in 2001 and held various positions at the $240 billion food and drink giant before taking the top job last year.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Full AI editing tends to fail in a specific, repeatable way. A new prompt to fix one small issue often breaks something that was previously fine, turning editing into an endless loop instead of a finished product. A video doesn’t have to look bad to feel like AI made it. Pacing, transitions and small creative choices can be technically fine and still read as hollow, and viewers notice even when they can’t say why. AI is genuinely useful for narrow, mechanical work. Motion graphics, basic cleanup, noise and color correction…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Employees are finding ways to incorporate AI into their work faster than many organizations can create policies, norms or expectations around its use. The leadership question is no longer simply, “Should our people use AI?” It’s: “Are the ways people are using AI strengthening the culture we say we want or unintentionally working against it?” In the past few years, the use of AI has accelerated. An employee asks AI a question they once would have discussed with a colleague. A presentation that used to take all day is ready before lunch. Is this a good change?…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Artificial intelligence is moving beyond content creation and productivity tools into specialized business workflows. The next advantage may be using AI to remove operational bottlenecks, accelerate product development and turn ideas into execution faster — without requiring larger teams or significantly higher costs. For the past few years, much of the conversation around artificial intelligence in business has centered on productivity: writing emails, creating marketing content, summarizing meetings and analyzing spreadsheets. Those applications are useful, but they may represent only the first phase of AI adoption. The more significant opportunity…

Key Takeaways When you are working for someone who is a bully, we may use power dynamics as an excuse — but normalizing this behavior is part of the problem. Call out bad behavior when you see or experience it. Keep a record of the facts: when it happened, what happened, if anyone else was present and how it impacted your work. You will want to use this documentation in the future if you decide to contact an employment lawyer. When your boss is the bully, speaking up can feel really risky,…

Published October 14, 2026 01:09PMMy benchmark for what counts as a big deal in sports science is four percent. That’s the margin by which Nike’s Vaporfly, the original supershoe released back in 2017, improved running economy.

Key Takeaways More state funding doesn’t mean more money per student when enrollment grows faster than appropriations.u003cbru003e Tuition, state support and federal research dollars are all under pressure at once, so no single lever can plug the gap.

At least seven masked bandits made off with about 30,000 bottles of wine worth an estimated $5.8 million from Marchesi Antinori, one of Italy’s oldest family-owned wineries, according to the BBC. The vino villains broke into the company’s storage facility near Cortona, disabled the alarms and cameras, then used Antinori’s own forklifts to load two large trucks. The robbery included about 10,000 bottles of Solaia along with Tignanello and Guado al Tasso, all from the 2023 vintage and typically priced between $167 and $558 each. The company believes the selective picks point to wine experts with inside knowledge. CEO Renzo…
