Will Technology’s Next Big Innovation
Be Your Company’s Downfall?
It’s a scenario that gets played over and over in the corporate world.
One moment a company is riding high, the next it’s struggling to exist, its business model disrupted by new technology and a failure to keep up with an ever-changing competitive landscape.
Take as just one example Nokia, which at one time ruled the roost in the mobile-phone market, able to boast in the late 1990s that it was the world’s largest cellphone maker.
But when Apple introduced its iPhone in 2007, Nokia proved too slow to adapt as the market, the technology and the competition began to evolve all around it. Over the next several years, Nokia became an also-ran in an industry it previously dominated.
History is replete with similar stories, and you can expect more in the future as technology continues to advance at a head-spinning rate, says Terry Jones, founder of Travelocity.com, co-founder of Kayak.com, and author of the new book Disruption OFF: The Technological Disruption Coming for Your Company and What to Do About It (www.tbjones.com).
“Our constantly changing world is disrupting what many businesses do, whether it’s photography, the book industry, the music industry or many others,” Jones says. “In the business world, change is inevitable, but success is optional.
“Technological change can come quickly. For example, 90% of hearing aids are now produced by 3D printing and that change happened in just four years. Companies that didn’t make the change are no longer with us.”
That doesn’t mean any particular company is necessarily doomed, though.
“There are a surprising number of 100-year-old companies out there,” he says. “Most of the ones I’ve talked to have mastered the ability to shed their old skin and renew themselves when required.”
Jones says a few ways businesses can avoid becoming a disruption casualty include:
“A company may currently be strong and it may be run by intelligent executives, but the question is whether it’s adaptable enough to change,” Jones says. “Even more important, is the company proactively preparing for change? If so, it’s more likely to survive and maybe even thrive.”

Hi Dawn,
The personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2020’s Cities with the Least-Sustainable Credit Card Debt in addition to its latest Credit Card Debt Study. The debt picture is worrisome nationwide, as WalletHub found that consumers racked up $21.5 billion in credit card debt from June through September, sending outstanding debt to an all-time record level for the third quarter of a year.
But some cities are in a worse position than others. WalletHub’s researchers drew upon data from TransUnion, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Census Bureau and WalletHub’s proprietary credit card payoff calculator to determine the cost and time required to repay the median credit card balance in more than 2,500 U.S. cities. Below, you can find a handful of highlights from these reports.

Key Stats
Q&A with WalletHub CEO Odysseas Papadimitriou
What do the latest credit card debt statistics tell us about the health of U.S. consumers?
“The $21.5 billion in credit card debt that U.S. consumers added to their tab during the third quarter pushed outstanding balances to a record high for this time of year, at $1.023 trillion. We are in a very unhealthy, precarious position when respect to revolving debt at the household level,” said WalletHub CEO Odysseas Papadimitriou. “The third quarter’s results also make the final few months of the year even scarier, given that this is when people tend to rack up the most debt.”
How will credit card debt levels look after Q4 data comes in?
“WalletHub is projecting a $80 billion net increase in credit card debt for 2019. That would push the average household’s balance to $9,451 and bring our collective credit card debt to roughly $1.1 trillion,” said WalletHub CEO Odysseas Papadimitriou. “For context, $1.1 trillion is roughly three times as much as the federal government will spend on net interest payments toward the national debt this year.”
What advice do you have for people trying to get out from under credit card debt?
“People trying to get out from under credit card debt should start by making a plan to pay off as much as they can afford each month in order to get debt-free as quickly as possible. Simply having a plan will make the task more digestible. Plus, the interest on credit card debt compounds daily, and typically accrues at a pretty high rate compared to finance charges on other types of debt. So the longer you wait to pay it off, the more expensive it becomes,” said WalletHub CEO Odysseas Papadimitriou. “People also shouldn’t forget about the income side of the equation when approaching debt problems. Taking steps to control costs – like brewing your own coffee, bringing lunch to work, etc. – are helpful, to be sure. But it might be more efficient for some people to supplement their income instead, for example.”
====================
The global security and investigation industry continues to experience growth fuelled by increased awareness of safety concerns and consumers’ willingness to spend on solutions. With nearly 6,000 companies and 180,000 employees providing these types of services, Germany is one of the most significant European markets in this filed.
According to a Kryptoszene.de research based on data of Statista, the German security and investigation industry reached €9.2 billion in revenue in 2019 with an annual growth of 2.9% between 2018 and 2019.
Private Security Activities Generate More than 80 Percent of the Overall Industry Revenue
In 2011, the German security and investigation industry reached €5.3 billion value and continued expanding in the following years. The statistics demonstrate that industry revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9 percent between 2011 and 2018, to reach €9.2 billion value in 2019.
Private security actions generated the most significant part of that amount, or €8.4 billion. Another lucrative source of profit on the German market is security systems service activities, which generated €500 million in revenue. Investigation activities brought €200 million in profit in 2019.
The German security and investigation industry is marked by a high growth dynamic, creating many opportunities for investors and innovative companies. The market includes various types of security-related facilities such as investigation and detective services, private security activities, guard and patrol systems, transportation and delivering money, receipts, or other valuable items while in transit and operation of electronic security alarm systems.
The statistics show that the increasing trend will continue in the following years, with the industry revenue expected to reach €9.8 billion by 2023.

Dear Editor:
Please consider this unique commentary connecting impeachment to public health. For PeaceVoice, thank you,
Impeachment (and removal): Good for public health
by Leslie D. Gregory and Tom H. Hastings
752 words
If we hope to improve public health, impeach Donald Trump.
What is the evidence for such an assertion? There is a great deal, including but hardly limited to these examples:
· When the White House interferes with the premier public health agency of the USA, that is poor practice that can redound negatively on public health. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gets very little funding to study the effects of guns on public health. Literally, the flagship funder for critical public health issues is essentially nulled from funding research into a cause of death for 40,000 Americans every year--while Trump is spreading misinformation about the causes--it's never the guns, it's anything else, from his disinformation about video games to conflating mental illness with gun violence. This is clearly a poor path to public health.
· When the White House tells the CDC that the agency cannot say or write seven words or phrases--"fetus," "evidence-based," "science-based" "diversity," "transgender," "vulnerable," "entitlement"--without losing funding, that is pure politics, not caretaking public health. Stay in your lane, Trump. You know nothing about the CDC or its mission. You are sacrificing public health for your petty culture war agenda.
· CDC has been approached several times by health care providers to declare racism a threat to public health. In another era, with a less obdurate ruler so invested in scoring political points with an overwhelmingly white voter base, this might easily result in significant efforts to promote solutions that might lead to a mitigation of terrible health outcome disparities. When Native peoples, African Americans, and Hispanic citizens die from heart disease and other maladies at much higher rates why create a political culture of fear at federal agencies?
· The surest cure for poor health outcomes is universal health care, however that is arrived at--by a public option or by a complete overhaul of what we have. But what we have now is a regime dedicated to removing more Americans from health insurance programs. Our nation's morbidity and mortality statistics versus those of countries who do have a version of single payer health insurance are abysmal.
· Trump tweeted recently that if anyone tries to remove him from office there will be Civil War. Now armed militias are forming. This direct threat to public health is evocative of the US Senate in late 1860, immediately following Lincoln's election, when South Carolina Senator James Chesnut led the exodus and it was not long before secession of states led to the Civil War, taking more American lives than any war in US history.
· Trump's latest travesty is to throw as many as 700,000 Americans off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program--SNAP--which will be a truly harsh health impact for many, including children and disabled people whom Trump expects to punish if they can't find enough work to buy food.
· Mental health care has come under greater demand than ever since the 2016 campaign, with some providers reporting a five-fold increase in enrolled members seeking therapy--from the increase in hate crimes to the ramp-up of objectifying presidential rants, this toxic zeitgeist is showing elevated pathologies.
· Immigrants are under enormous stress, including actual US citizens, a proven impact on health. Caging babies? Tearing them away from their parents? Parents whose "crime" is fleeing from violence?
· Expressed racism--calling refugees "animals" or calling African countries "shithole"--has direct physiological harmful effects, from increased cortisol production to flooding the heart with stress.
· Virulent obstruction and opposition to women's reproductive rights is a direct Trump threat to the physical and emotional health of more than 50 percent of Americans. Veering wildly away from basic human rights, Trump has ordered his State Department to censor any mention of women's reproductive rights from their annual human rights report.
· Funding for mental health care for military members is woefully inadequate--in an era when Trump is radically increasing funding for more nuclear weapons--the ultimate threat ever made to public health.
· Eviscerating environmental laws will affect public health for generations. All the work we put into getting these critical laws passed using the tough but proper democratic process--almost always from the grassroots impetus--is just trashed.
Trump has zero medical training and obviously never took the Hippocratic Oath, which is the foundation of a professional commitment to proper care.
We need to save American lives now. The best remedy would be to annul an illegitimate election. At the very least, impeach. And keep impeaching until we get some good governance.
