From the Hollerith machine to AI: A testament to the pace of change and the importance of people in business. On July 6, 1911, Herman Hollerith sold his Tabulating Machine Company, sowing the seeds for what would later become IBM. His invention transformed data processing from a manual struggle into an efficient, scalable operation. Fast forward to today, and we use technology to create, analyze, and adapt in real-time. For those of us in Private Equity, the lesson is twofold. Not only have we learned to navigate rapid technological change, but we've also recognized that technology serves a greater purpose—empowering people. The evolution from data punch cards to AI reminds us that behind every market shift, it’s the human element that propels success. As we adapt to lightning-fast market demands, it's clear that people are more central than ever to business strategy. The focus has shifted from data alone to leveraging technology for the betterment of teams, companies, and communities. Here's to honoring both the speed of innovation and the enduring importance of people as we drive business forward. #PrivateEquity #Innovation #PeopleFirst #Adaptability

At Marrin, our investment thesis centers around the research that points to the fact that great employee cultures can yield a four-fold revenue increase. We're on a mission to perpetuate companies that create amazing work environments. HOWEVER most “Culture Work” actually hurts your company. “Culture eats strategy for lunch.” — Peter Drucker This popular quote on corporate culture rings true. A strong company culture is the foundation on which successful strategies are built. So, the logical conclusion is to hire people focused on culture, point them in the right direction, and let them do their thing, right? Wrong. Fred Kofman, author of Conscious Business, reveals a harsh truth: most culture work does more harm than good. In fact, America spends billions on corporate culture each year, but research shows companies would be better off simply crossing their fingers. So why does this happen? Why does the effort to improve culture often backfire? And more importantly, how can you ensure your cultural initiatives truly eat strategy for lunch? Turns out you have two ears and only one mouth for a reason: The answer starts with discovery, not generation. Before diving into culture work, take the time to understand the real issues within your organization. Focus on listening to your team and identifying the underlying challenges. By doing this, you set the stage for meaningful cultural transformation. Remember, culture is powerful, but if done wrong, it can sabotage your strategy. Let’s ensure we build cultures that truly support our business goals! #CorporateCulture #BusinessStrategy #Leadership #OrganizationalDevelopment #CultureMatters #PowerofListening

In today’s economy, good jobs are good business.
