In 2024, product-led organisations in the top performance quartile introduced new offerings to market 35–45% faster than their peers, while also improving first-launch quality and capital efficiency. The differentiator was not tooling density or R&D scale. It was a shift in how product decisions are structured, with AI increasingly resolving uncertainty earlier in the lifecycle rather than compensating for it later.    AI-led product development optimisation is often pioneere

Retail media has transitioned from the margins of digital advertising to the core financial backbone of modern retail. Global retail media advertising spend crossed US$130 billion in 2024, accounting for more than one-fifth of total digital ad spend and is forecast to grow at over 15% CAGR through the decade.

Agriculture already accounts for nearly 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, while industrial and urban demand continue to increase. These trends highlight a pressing reality. Water scarcity is no longer confined to environmental discourse.

What would global decarbonisation look like if carbon credits traded with the same immediacy and transparency as equities or foreign exchange? Today’s reality falls far short of that benchmark.     Despite accelerating corporate net-zero commitments and significant capital allocated to nature-based and engineered removals, the voluntary carbon market has struggled to scale efficiently. In 2024, transaction volumes declined sharply, and market value contracted, despite an incr
