The Monthly Strategic Briefing is a monthly podcast exploring the forces reshaping business strategy, and leadership. Each episode is an AI-generated conversation based on Dr. Maralani’s Monthly Strategic Briefing and looks beyond the headlines to examine what economic shifts, geopolitics, technology, regulation, and changes in society may mean for organizations and their leaders.
The focus is practical: what is changing, why it matters, and how leaders can respond through better strategic choices, stronger operating models, and more informed management decisions.

Who Will Convert Technology into Growth? — Issue 03 – The Monthly Strategic Briefing
Technology leadership is often measured by patents filed, models trained, or data centres built. None of those achievements guarantees economic growth.In this episode, we examine what it actually takes to turn technology into productive output — and why the gap between invention and adoption is where economic power is decided. We trace the six-stage conversion chain from research to economic output, look at how the United States, China, Europe, and the Gulf are positioned across it, and explore why adoption rarely translates into productivity without deliberate operating model change.We also set out a 90-day leadership agenda: how to map the technology stack behind your business, separate investment evidence from adoption evidence, and establish the governance needed to make technology conversion a strategic discipline rather than a portfolio of IT projects.The Monthly Strategic Briefing is a research by Dr. Maralani — monthly analysis at the intersection of strategy, technology, and economic change.To get monthly briefings and the podcast episodes register at www.drmaralani.com/subscribe
