Lisa Anderson Weighs In on Apple?s $30 Billion U.S. Manufacturing Strategy

Image
Apple’s latest U.S. manufacturing investment reflects a much broader shift underway across global supply chains. While tariffs have accelerated some decisions, companies are increasingly redesigning their manufacturing and sourcing strategies to improve resilience, reduce geopolitical risk, strengthen customer responsiveness, and position themselves for long-term growth. Among the industry experts featured in the article is Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group , who explains that today’s manufacturing decisions are being driven by much more than tariffs or political pressure. “This isn’t simply a reaction to tariffs—it’s a recognition that supply chain resilience has become a competitive advantage.” Rather than attempting to relocate entire supply chains to the United States, companies like Apple are strategically investing in critical, high-value components that reduce risk while improving responsiveness and long-term competitiveness. Lisa notes that this same thinking ap...

The Power of You: Finding the Superpower You Bring to the Team

Image
Every team has goals. Every team has deadlines. Every team has challenges, meetings, personalities, pressure, and opportunities. But here is what I believe with all my heart: One person can make all the difference. Not always the loudest person. Not always the person with the biggest title. Not always the person with the most experience. Sometimes the person who makes the biggest difference is the one who encourages the team when things get hard. Sometimes it is the person who notices the small detail everyone else missed. Sometimes it is the person who brings calm to a chaotic situation. Sometimes it is the person who asks the question nobody else is willing to ask. That is the power of you. You matter to your team more than you may realize. Your attitude matters. Your effort matters. Your energy matters. Your consistency matters. The way you show up every day matters. The challenge is that many people do not recognize their own value. They are so busy doing the work that they forget ...

Are we trying to tax ghosts?

Image
Calls for wealth taxes have been gathering steam over the last few years. The recent AI boom, which has minted many more billionaires and centibillionaires, has intensified the clamor for governments to do something about wealth inequality. Those calls reached a crescendo in the days after Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. California has taken the lead. Its Billionaire Tax Act is a proposed ballot initiative that will be put before the state’s voters this November. It aims to apply a one-time 5 percent tax on billionaire wealth, spread over five years. If the measure passes, the revenues raised will be used to fund healthcare and enhance other social welfare services. The wealth taxes that are being discussed around the world today would apply to both financial and non-financial assets such as real estate, private jets, yachts, and expensive artwork. In America, much of the focus has lately been on the massive stock holdings of technopreneurs. The rapid rise of the stoc...

The Role of Fascia in Mobility: What You Need to Know

Image
Fascia is defined as a continuous connective tissue network that wraps around every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve in your body. The role of fascia in mobility goes far beyond simple structural support. Fascia is densely packed with mechanoreceptors and nerve endings , making it one of the body’s richest sensory organs. When fascia glides freely, movement feels fluid and coordinated. When it stiffens or densifies, range of motion drops, pain increases, and athletic performance suffers. Understanding how fascia works gives you a direct path to fixing mobility problems that standard muscle stretching alone cannot solve. How does fascia anatomy support mobility and proprioception? Fascia is built from layered collagen fibers arranged in multiple directions. That structure gives it both tensile strength and the elasticity needed to stretch, recoil, and transmit force across the body. Unlike tendons, which run in a single direction, fascial sheets spread force broadly, connecting distant bo...

Cristina Negr?n Oliveri: Leadership in the Messy Middle

Image
Who is Cristina Negrón Oliveri ? Cristina Negrón Oliveri is the Chief Operating Officer of a Federally Qualified Health Center in Maine and founder of Cristina Oliveri Consulting, a firm dedicated to solving the problem that most healthcare organizations refuse to confront directly: burnout is not a resilience problem. It is a system design problem. She has spent over two decades in healthcare, starting at the front desk and working her way to the executive level. That journey has given her an almost uncanny ability to see the gap between what organizations claim to value and what their actual systems require. She reads patterns. Not personalities. Patterns. A senior leader sits across from her team at 8:47 AM on a Tuesday. The quarterly numbers are finally moving in the right direction. Patient satisfaction scores are up. Compliance metrics are green. The strategic plan that was drafted eighteen months ago is on track. She delivers the good news, waits for the relief on their faces, a...
