Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. Great Headline, Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR People talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is ignorant of what's happening around it. It must pull its collective uranium heads out of the sand and prepare to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an ever-increasing pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place, and soon to be out of Fuel" and merely temporary. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now, see what is happening in the world of the fusion industry. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

One of the best parts about acquiring a new business is learning about the culture that has made that business so successful that they have become someone we want to buy. And in our world that is really all about their people 🤩 John Rowan and Partners is a great example of this, a property and construction consultancy that Bellrock Group acquired in 2022. There is a really strong people-centric culture in this business that Gurpal Virdee, Mash Halai FRICS and the other Partners nurtured and were hugely protective of when contemplating being acquired by a much bigger business. They needn't have worried, there has been so much we have learned from JRP that has influenced and informed the transformational, progressive People Strategy we have put in place for the whole Group 🧭 All of this was evident at the JRP annual staff conference that I had the pleasure of attending in London yesterday. There was a real passion and commitment for their business, their work, their clients and to exploiting the opportunities that come from being part of a wider Group, with its wider client base, broader product set and endless cross-sell opportunities 🏅 I particularly admire the opportunity they give colleagues, typically early in their careers, to present their team's business plans. This engages them in the mission, raises their profile and gives them invaluable experience of presenting to a large audience. Well done Steven McCubbin, Conor McCabe, Rajvina Bassi MRICS, Caedmon Bradley, Bill Callaghan, Dan Bryan, Stanley Foster-Bohm, Rob Worster MRICS, Eden Carberry-Hughes, Rachael Comer and Keisha Ferguson. You smashed it 🔥 And well done and thank you Georgia Lloyd-Davies for pulling the day together 🙏 #bellrock #growth #crosssell #propertyconsultancy #construction

A lot of our projects are long term partnerships with legacy landowners such as public bodies. These are hugely important projects that are much more than a property transaction. For a recent presentation I was looking at key themes for the creation of a successful partnership in the larger regeneration schemes: 👉 Clarity shared vision. 👉 A culture that allows for new ideas and change. 👉 A focus on legacy Interested to hear the views of others? Some of our examples are seen below: https://lnkd.in/ek6VX2i2

At Peakstone Global we don’t offer Board recruitment because we always want to avoid potential conflicts of interest when delivering our many services, especially director skills and behavioural assessments. You can read more about those here: https://lnkd.in/ei3VFV9Q That doesn’t stop people from asking us for advice on the types of people and skills that are needed as non-executive Directors. I’ve done some thinking on this and believe there are 5 Cs in appointing the right individual to a Board. No prizes if you guessed Capability was the first C. While capability is of critical importance, what do you think the other four are? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. And of course I’ll be posting about the other four Cs over the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
