Big match today against Birmingham. And I find myself thinking about the heart of Stoke to the heart of business 💼⚽ In the same way I passionately cheer for Stoke City every weekend, I'm equally committed to understanding the core challenges faced by Owner Operators. As a lifelong Potter, I know that dedication, trust, and resilience are at the heart of any successful endeavour – whether on the football pitch or in the business world. Being at the helm of an operation isn't just about profits. It's about steering a team towards a shared vision, ensuring everyone's welfare, and constantly adapting to the shifting landscape of business. I get it. In my role at Lenovo, I've focused on fostering a sense of trust and reliability. We're not here to be another vendor. We're here to be a partner, aligned with your values, understanding your unique challenges, and providing solutions tailored to your goals. So, to all the Owner Operators out there, how do you ensure the welfare of your team while simultaneously driving profits? And how can a partner like Lenovo elevate your journey? If you'd like to grab a beer, or join me at a game in the new year, let me know. In the meantime, happy Boxing Day! #EdgeComputingEvolution #BusinessTransformationWithTech #LeadingWithLenovo

It's remarkable to see how digitalization is revolutionizing also the golf industry, sparking increased enthusiasm among players for this timeless sport. In the past, golf venues faced substantial investments to upgrade their driving ranges with technology. Today, simply selling a few more buckets a day can easily cover these costs, especially on a Trackman range offering over 230 virtual golf courses, diverse training modes, and entertainment features. The possibilities extend to sponsorship opportunities, events, unique membership models, and crucial aspects like member retention and recruitment. Why delay any further? #GolfIndustry #Digitalization #Trackman #MemberRetention Tobias Kaiser Konstantin Waltzinger Michael Malone Paul Williams Steven Carmichael Tim Tippelt Dario Gabriel Carlo Reumont Kenneth Pedersen

Let's talk NASCAR! Not the competition provided across 28 racetracks/speedways/arenas over 41 weeks that drives impressions in the media with bright shiny things the consumer observes on glass in front of them, or as a visceral experience attending the Daytona 500. No, rather, want to talk about the brand as enjoyed and valued by the free marketplace. And, want to talk about the value of the "league" to society and the world of private equity. No one company has had greater corporate impact on my environment since summer of 1980 when I arrive in Daytona Beach between my JR and SR of HS.  France family has driven the narrative for Daytona Beach since William H.G. France, Sr., ("Big Bill"), collected $2.50 per ticket from 14,000 people staging their first NASCAR race. On the beach, and South Atlantic Avenue, in 1948 after a meeting at the Streamline Hotel months earlier on December 14, 1947. These definitive steps were the start of being part of the "major-leagues'. NASCAR/Frances would stand closer by permanently approving Team Charters. Jim France (my email to him last week presented in the attached comment), representing a family that has spanned 4 generations, has two choices. First, they can remain the first family of stock car racing with majority ownership covering a fiefdom. They will cycle through scheduled Charter contract negotiations constantly. Or, second, they transcend to a new level of leadership and sell controlling interest to new ownership group comprised of free market investors. Believe market appetite is strong with institutional private equity aggressively seeking sports related properties. Believe value of NASCAR, the "league", is between $4.35B and $6.35B. However, if the Frances would accept some portion of that purchase price from a consortium of institutional investors in cash and in the form of "paper" it opens possibilities. Simultaneously, if the investor were to reach a deal with the collective 36 charter team owners in form of cash and "paper", for the approval of a permanent distribution from the "new" NASCAR, it solidifies the integrity of the product offered. Stakeholders (Frances, Race Team Alliance/Charter Team Owners and capitalist private equity) are then rowing together toward a league like the NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL. Maybe NASCAR becomes a public traded sports league with a Board of Directors and shareholders and run by the team owners. Below is a link to my LinkedIn comments added to the post of Adam Stern with Sports Business Journal which shared Ken Belson's article for the The New York Times. I've offered similar commentary, and personal communication, with/to other reporters like Eric Jackson from Sportico here and on Twitter. https://lnkd.in/gjKrwABm
