In addition, where possible we’ve the aim of securing a meeting/initial call.

We can leverage this, working with the universities direct and MIDAS Sector Marketing Team to push relevant content (via Linkedin) to senior target contacts, thereby building up greater awareness of GM’s key messages and updates. For example, Facebook has 54 alumni from the University of Manchester and we’ll do this with all GM universities 4 Type of Information Researched: Areas of Interest/R&D 4.

  • Apple Strategy Teardown
    Apple Strategy Teardown The maverick of personal computing is looking for its next big thing in spaces like healthcare, AR, and autonomous cars, all while keeping its lead in consumer hardware. With an uphill battle in AI, slowing growth in smartphones, and its fingers in so many pies, can Apple reinvent itself for a third time? In many ways, Apple remains a company made in the image of Steve Jobs: iconoclastic and fiercely product focused. But today, Apple is at a crossroads. Under CEO Tim Cook, Apple’s ability to seize on emerging technology raises many new questions. Primarily, what’s next for Apple? Looking for the next wave, Apple is clearly expanding into augmented reality and wearables with the Apple Watch AirPods wireless headphones. Though delayed, Apple’s HomePod speaker system is poised to expand Siri’s footprint into the home and serve as a competitor to Amazon’s blockbuster Echo device and accompanying virtual assistant Alexa. But the next “big one” — a success and growth driver on the scale of the iPhone — has not yet been determined. Will it be augmented reality, healthcare, wearables? Or something else entirely? Apple is famously secretive, and a cloud of hearsay and gossip surrounds the company’s every move. Apple is believed to be working on augmented reality headsets, connected car software, transformative healthcare devices and apps, as well as smart home tech, and new machine learning applications. We dug through Apple’s trove of patents, acquisitions, earnings calls, recent product releases, and organizational structure for concrete hints at how the company will approach its next self-reinvention.

  • Amazon Inc. Stock Rating BUY
    EQUITY RESEARCH 30th October 2018 Amazon Inc. Stock Rating BUY Post Q3 2018 results, we maintain our BUY recommendation and Price Target of $2200. Overall, Amazon reported good results for Q3 2018. Sales came in at $56.6bln, Country United States Industry Consumer Cyclical at the high end of management’s guidance $54bln-$57.5bln. Ticker AMZN ISIN US0231351067 Having said this, shares were down heavily post results. Reason being that although sales came in towards the high end of management’s guidance, they came in slightly Price $1538.88 Price Target $2200.00 lower than market consensus. However, what trigger the sell-off in the shares was that Amazon’s Q4 2018 revenue guidance of 10-20% ($66.5B-$72.5B) was lower than Market Cap $752.46m expected. Shares in issue 487.7m Dividend Yield -- P/E 94.72x Although the lower guidance was the result of a $300mln headwind in Q4 2018 from an accounting change, with Prime subscription revenue now recognized on a straight 52-week 1086.87 – 2050.50 line basis over 12 months instead of with heavier allocation in Q4 2018 as was Range previously done. We recognize that Amazon shares are still up 30% YTD and there will be increased concerns around deceleration and future growth. We believe shares could remain under pressure near term as a result, but we think there is 4Q profit upside and potential for re-acceleration in 1Q19. We believe any pullback will prove to be a good buying opportunity. We continue to like Amazon because we strongly believe that its e-commerce and web services business (AWS) have further room to grow eCommerce – Amazon is the largest Internet retailer in the world as measured by revenue and market capitalization.

  • Linking Talent to Value
    April 2018 Linking talent to value Getting the best people into the most important roles does not happen by chance; it requires a disciplined look at where the organization really creates value and how top talent contributes. by Mike Barriere, Miriam Owens, and Sarah Pobereskin To understand how difficult it is for senior leaders to link their companies’ business and talent priorities, consider the blind spot of a CEO we know. When asked to identify the critical roles in his company, the CEO neglected to mention the account manager for a key customer, in part because the position was not prominent in any organization chart. By just about any other criterion, though, this was one of the most important roles in the company, critical to current performance and future growth. The role demanded a high degree of responsibility, a complex set of interpersonal and technical skills, and an ability to respond deftly to the client’s rapidly changing needs. Yet the CEO was not carefully tracking the position. The company was unaware of the incumbent’s growing dissatisfaction with her job. And there was no succession plan in place for the role. When the incumbent account manager, a very high performer, suddenly took a job at another company, the move stunned her superiors. As performance suffered, they scrambled to cover temporarily, and then to fill, a mission-critical role. Disconnects such as this between talent and value are risky business—and regrettably common. Gaining a true understanding of who your top talent is and what your most critical roles are is a challenging task.
