Many organizations are eager to harness artificial intelligence’s potential, but underestimate what it takes to implement it successfully. While AI can accelerate insights, strengthen decision-making, and increase efficiency, achieving that requires significant investment in technology, data, integration, and talent. Becoming an AI-enabled organization is a long-term commitment that affects every business function. When approached strategically, AI can unlock tremendous value. When rushed or underfunded, it can become an expensive experiment. Grounding every decision in a clear, measurable return on investment (ROI) is essential. “Ultimately, realizing the full value of generative AI isn’t just about technology,” says Harvard Business School Professor…

We can debate the worthiness of Elon Musk’s accomplishments—building up Tesla, hollowing out the government, shooting for Mars—but we can all agree that his insistence on being seen as funny is his most grating quality.From the constant 4:20 references to his quote tweet “dunks” to awarding “Certified Bangers” badges to silly X posts, Musk’s desperation for validation knows no bounds.

Freight levels for middle distillates remained broadly stable, whereas light ends saw significant downward pressure, particularly toward the end of the week as more tonnage became available and delays eased at several terminals. Spot market activity remained modest, fluctuating between 40–70 ktons per day, with only brief signs of improvement. Market sentiment continued to reflect subdued demand, operational inefficiencies carried over from earlier weeks, and limited appetite for fresh business from charterers. 1. Freight Rates:…

The Rhine barge market in the week of 17–21 November was marked by stable-to-softer rates, calm trading conditions, and ongoing uncertainty driven by volatile gasoil pricing. Water levels fluctuated but remained high enough to support moderate intakes across most routes, preventing any hydrology-driven rate support. Market sentiment was shaped by low urgency from charterers, fully booked fleets on the operator side, and a backwardated futures structure that continued to discourage stockbuilding. 1. Freight Rates: Mostly Stable, With Isolated Minor Adjustments Freight rates showed minimal movement during the week: At the start of the week, rates remained broadly stable, though Strasbourg…
