Is your company positioned to parse the nuance from the noise? The experts speak. Hanno Schoklitsch, Kaiserwetter Energy Asset Management: “We can’t change the wind but we can adjust our sails” (Aristotle). Ran Merkazy, Lloyd’s Register: “The pace of change is so fast – that you will have to learn all your life” (Yuval Noah Harrari). Richard Mooney, SAP: “I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.

Attention CFOs: You may think you have a grasp of true profitability, but your insights may be incomplete. Yes, you have a good feel for gross margins and direct costs. But do you truly understand how your business consumes variable or overhead costs, how IT costs are consumed and charged, or which customer groups and product lines add the most or detract from your bottom line? The experts speak. Rob Kugel, Ventana Research: “Never ask for money spent, where the spender thinks it went. Nobody was ever meant, to remember or invent, what he did with every cent” (Robert Frost). Michael Rea, Tartan Solutions: “Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Michel Haesendonckx, SAP: “The bicycle is a curious vehicle.

Thank you,.../bonnie | New LIVE | High-Tech Touchdown! Fan-Controlled Football and Future of Sports | The buzz: "Soon there will be entire American football league built on the premise that fans should be able to choose the players and coaches that make up each of the eight inaugural teams and even pick the teams' offensive plays. The innovative league is based on the belief that fans will enjoy a product that feels more like a video game than a traditional football-watching experience.” When Darren Heitner reported this in 2017 for Forbes SportsMoney, he was talking about the new Fan Controlled Football League (FCFL) powered on the Ethereum blockchain. Wow! The league ranks fans’ voting power for drafting players, picking coaches and calling the plays by the seven-on-seven teams on the field – using a new FAN Token cryptocurrency. Prognosis? We'll speak with Ray Austin and Jason Chilton of the Fan Controlled Football League, Andy Dolich of Dolich & Associates, and Carsten Winsnes at Strive Tech. Join us for High-Tech Touchdown!

Acquiring partnerships along the way with Caesar's Palace, TWITCH, Wilson's, Fathead, Progressive Insurance, Tito's Homemade Vodka, Chatalyze, New Alchemy, and IMG, neither the FCFL or Ray Austin show any signs of slowing down any time soon. | Jason Chilton | As the Director of Football Technology for the FCFL, Jason Chilton is helping to craft the league's on-field football product as well as the ways that fans can engage with and control their favorite teams. A passionate believer in combining cutting-edge sports technology data and insights with old-school X's and O's, he is also helping to create a data and insights platform to help FCFL fans make great decisions.
