Opening a pizzeria could soon be as simple as leasing a small business space, then sticking a robot in there. That's the idea behind the Pizzaiola system, which takes human cooks and other kitchen staff out of the equation.

According to a Skynova survey, 70 percent of businesses have been ghosted by an employee within six months of hiring them. Ghosting not only means an employee suddenly leave a company, they do so without any notice of leaving or even letting their employer know. A perfect storm of continuing labor shortages, the new hybrid workplace and effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have, in many ways, made ghosting possible.
James Schreier's insight:
This is clearly an emerging (hard) trend. What are the implications(www.implicationswheel.com) -- are there any "unintended consequences?"

Biased acts against Jewish workers often go unnoticed, despite a recent rise in antisemitism. Anti-Defamation League (ADL) data shows that business establishments were the fourth most common site of antisemitic incidents in 2020.
James Schreier's insight:
An alarming trend - definitely! This article is disturbing to me both professionally and personally. So much so that I drafted an article describing a history and experiences that have been critical to my development.

Few questioned whether customer obsession – or obsession of any kind, for that matter – was harmful as a business strategy, or deleterious in corporate culture. Like many “shiny business objects,” practitioners saw the huge opportunities in customer obsession, and none of the risks.

Some people say they're sick of tipping. But tipping is the only way to cover workers' income.
James Schreier's insight:
Reading thi interesting article, I am struck with the thought that this is an issue that would be worthy of a thorough exploration. While the article identifies clear implications, it's equally obvious that there are more, both positive and negative, and of course, those "unintended consequences." www.implicationswheel.com

About two weeks after the menu item was brought back with help from Doja Cat, it’s now missing from units across the country. Officials blame higher-than-expected demand.
James Schreier's insight:
An issue to be monitored because it has multiple dimensions: strategy, unexpected (perhaps unanticipated) outcomes, customer service. Seems like a simple "supply/demand" issue but then again it isn't!

People who have worked as moderators for Gaggle say that the job involves looking at ‘awful, awful things’—and that crude AI and minimal training don’t help.
James Schreier's insight:
This is a very serious -- and very complicated issue -- with multiple both positive and negative implications for all the different "points-of-view" identified in this report. As a parent, teacher, and consultant to several schools, this report does a pretty good job of pointing out the complexities of the situation. Certainly something that could be thoroughly explored with the Implications Wheel -- there are clearly some surprises and "unintended consequences" out there.
