Hello - @Eli Del Rio and I just spent the most wonderful hour together - we chatted about a litany of topics and I learned a great deal about the over the road driving experience that is Eli's world and I shared some war stories along with business assitance for both of us. Join us next Thursday at 10am Eastern - and join the conversation. @Scott Fullerton peace and be well. @Shanti Gold have a great weekend, we missed you. To all of our members - may the 4th be pecaeful, enjoyable, and safe. Heave bless this community - seriously - while we ahve been quiet we own this space and we have the opportunity to lean in and make a differeince. On a personal note, if you follow me on Substack at Beyond the Binary, yesterday I discussed how I see the Declaration of Independence as a visioning statement, a stil out of reach objective for where we shoudl be and each generation helps lift us forward. In that I asked a question.....What does the World need more of? A single sentence or more is all it takes. I think it is a grand question. From this question I will be starting a video blog where I wish to provide 15 minute interviews for youtube and social media with this singular question - - you get to answer it - I am the interviewer but I want to see how people answer and discuss why there response applies. No judgements (of course) - so @Art Smith might say...."The world needs more Gay Bars" - and then we would discuss those benefits - 15 minutes. Short simple, I believe will have value. Here is a link to sign up. And please share with people you think would enjoy, I’ve started a short series called *The World Needs More…* — fifteen minutes, one question: **what does the world need more of?** No prep, no script — just your honest vision, and it becomes a short published piece you can share. This is your moment to say the thing you actually believe the world needs more of — out loud, on the record. Nazeera and Tip are already in; I’d love for our cohort to be well represented.

Friends - I hope each of you is well. I spent last week at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Management with so many members of our community focusing on our Businesses rather than in them. I have missed our coffee chats. Let me know - Danielle

Hi - over at my Shifting the Ground, my Substack journey of economic and creativity - along various lines, this week I have been sharing. how I think there is a better way to score baskbetball games and ultimately how to better measure intelligent operations - I thought I would share here to see if there is an interest to discuss innovation and measuring what really matters - rather than what is easy. This is my linkedi post with a link - now this is part 3, Parts 1 and 2 are connected via Substack. Have a great weekend all - Danielle The Spurs led by 29 points in Game 4. They lost. And the decision-quality model I've been running all week saw it coming before the third quarter was three minutes old. This is the core problem I work on every day in transfer pricing: we measure outcomes and call it performance. We don't measure the quality of the decisions that produced those outcomes. This week I applied that same framework — what I'm calling SAT-style basketball scoring — to the NBA Finals. Four games of data later, the model has surfaced things the box score never could: → Josh Hart (9 traditional points across Games 1 and 4) grades as one of the series' most consistently valuable players → OG Anunoby's Game 4 earns the highest single-game SAT score of the entire series → A 29-point Spurs lead evaporated because their second-half decision quality collapsed — visible in the data before the scoreboard caught up Game 5 is Saturday in San Antonio. The Knicks lead 3–1. My prediction: Knicks in 5. Final piece of the series is live on Beyond the Binary — including a specific assignment for anyone who wants to run the model themselves on Saturday. → https://lnkd.in/duj_D39i
