A practical framework for aligning sales, marketing, and customer success around shared intelligence. Why are some campaigns successful in generating revenue while others aren’t? The simplest answer is a lack of individual direction and information. Back in the day, psychologist Dmitry Davidoff created a game called Mafia at Moscow State University- its key insight is that a coordinated minority with more shared information can overpower a larger but poorly informed group.

For most organizations, the honest answer is no. I’ve sat through enough incident reviews to know exactly what that uncertainty costs once something goes wrong. That gap just became measurable. The Okta Enterprise AI Index, drawn from anonymized sign-on data across more than 20,000 organizations between June 2022 and June 2026, found that AI-native vendors such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor quadrupled their enterprise customer base over that period, with Anthropic overtaking OpenAI…

Data from the Singapore Department of Statistics also shows that cinema attendance has more than halved over the past decade, falling from over 20 million visits to fewer than 10 million. But there’s one local brand that’s managed to hold its ground through the tumultuous years of pandemic lockdowns, Hollywood strikes, and the…
On Tuesday, the day after hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants effectively lost their temporary protected status that allowed them to live and work in the US, Republican pundit Steve Bannon wasted little time in demanding their instant removal.“I was under the assumption that when they pulled TPS and their eligibility for that program ended … they were going to be boarding planes or buses today … today, this morning at dawn to go back to Haiti,” said Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, on his War Room podcast on Tuesday. “Why are they not out of the…
