KEY THEMES

Our research spans critical topics in management, economics, geopolitics, and technology

Global Management Forum >

An initiative of Starlake Institute bringing in-depth conversations, insights, and lessons from world-class enterprises, CXOs, government and policy leaders, and innovators. The Global Management Forum (GMF) was purpose-built as a markets-inclined, innovation-forward thought leadership center focused on insights to accelerate civilizational progress and expansion.

Technology and the Modern Enterprise >

The Firm believes in the promise of technology to optimize the enterprise, lift up every employee, and deliver on a more prosperous future for mankind. In collaboration with organizations and institutes across industries, Starlake Institute delivers executive-facing insights pertaining to infrastructure and compute, software and hardware, change management, and operating model transformation.

Further, the Technology and Modern Enterprise theme seeks to understand the more fundamental shifts in the very nature of business and free enterprise caused by shifts in technology.

Geopolitics, Markets, and Statecraft >

The structural conditions that have defined the post-World War 2 era are under considerable stress, and the broader frame of geopolitical reality is undergoing transformation. The shifts to come in the following decades hold profound implications for leaders in government and enterprise, capital deployment and firm-building, and academia.

In collaboration with seasoned executives, academics, and leading organizations and institutions, the Institute delivers deep insight for leaders in navigating this new era defined by structural change.

PUBLICATION DIRECTORY

On Tariffs and Procurement Strategy >
Tariffs, export controls, and geopolitical rivalry are imposing sustained pressure on the post-war global order, creating an imperative for enterprises to rearchitect their supply strategy, risk management, and organizational design.
On The Execution Velocity Paradox >
Industrial enterprises face an execution bottleneck in digital transformation: as execution progresses, enterprises often find that velocity slows. The issue is that operationalizing novel technologies requires a more fundamental evolution, at the operating model layer.
On Technology Adoption Scaffolding in Healthcare >
Health systems' principal challenge in adopting and scaling technology lies in the maturity of systems and change management that surround it. Successful technology transformation is contingent on building the organizational infrastructure required to absorb, scale, and sustain it.

Dave Messner (SVP, Costco Wholesale Corporation) sits with Rishi Chilamcharla (Managing Partner, Starlake Management Group) to discuss the principles that define Costco's culture, and his view on leadership principles for the 21st century.
