From gust to gale

By enabling frontline workers to tweak designs from a tablet, Danish company Odico is bringing new agility to the factory floor. — Pushing a drill bit through a sheet of metal may seem a mundane thing, but when you’re binding a 12-ton aluminum blade to a wind turbine, the way holes are bored matters quite a lot. …

Who are the real energy giants?

As the transition to renewables marches on, brands that have dominated energy for decades will have to take a back seat. — For more than a century, the energy sector has been dominated by supermajors like BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, and Total — carbon to the core, with global empires built on extracting oil and gas wherever it lies. Today a new set of brands is making itself synonymous with energy: silicon-driven tech…

Running hot and cold

Though they lead the way on energy efficiency, data centres still have to grapple with soaring power costs. Is strategic energy purchasing the answer? The hum. If you’ve ever been inside a big data centre, you’ll know what I mean: a warm, mid-range murmur emanating from row after row of…

For businesses, entrepreneurs or creators with limited marketing spend, long-form content is a direct route to authority and rankings — ‘Keep online content short & sweet’. It seems like good advice. Reading off screens can be tiring. Marketing is becoming more visual. Social media has made everyone easily distracted. Microsoft claimed in 2015 that human attention spans had sunk to Dory from Finding Nemo level. That’s been debunked, but the…

Startups and cyber stick-up men

How would you react if ransomware locked your systems? For many new companies it's a no-brainer: pay up — and fast. — It begins like any other day. You sit at your desk, turn on the computer, open Slack and click your first email. Then suddenly the screen goes black. A red alert starts to flash: ‘Whoops! Your files are now encrypted. If you ever want to see them again, pay us…

Bridging the m-commerce Gap

Mobile has taken over everything from gaming to computing — but strangely, not shopping. That’s about to change. — A decade after smartphones arrived on the high street, mobile dominates everything from paying bills to hailing cabs — but not shopping.

The digital nervous system enabling energy’s zero-carbon future

How buying ‘green’ electrons moved from science fiction to reality. Cheap and reliable power is one of the pillars of modern society, and we consume it on a gargantuan scale. Last year humanity used more than 20,000 TWh of electricity — twice as much as in 1990. We need it…

5 ways construction is preparing for a safer future

Construction sites are some of the most visible signs of a country’s commercial vigour. Hard hats, swinging cranes, and the rumble of heavy machinery signify enterprise and economic growth in a visceral way that bar charts simply can’t match. That’s a key reason why, in many countries, construction is a…

Raggedy Sandy: Part Two

‘He gave me that chance’ — Excerpts from my profile of Alexander ‘Sandy’ Ross, founder of Canadian Business magazine and one of the giants of Canadian journalism. (2 of 5) It would be easy to mythologize Sandy Ross, a man for whom there is already “an enormous amount of hagiography,” says Penny Williams, who worked with…
