Today is the one day of the year where you can’t trust anything you read on the internet even more than usual, especially when it comes to game developers. We already saw Invincible VS tease ‘Thicc Omni-Man’ and other meme characters for April Fool’s Day, and Arc System Works wanted to get in on the action this year too.

Since The Hackett Group’s acquisition of Spend Matters last summer, the biggest change for me has been the amount of time I spend with buy-side clients who are making procurement tech selection decisions. Most of the inquiries we receive are about the intake and orchestration market, which is understandable given its growth.

But across all these conversations, the most common takeaway for me is that with orchestration, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. People understand this, but it can be difficult…

The International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (ID-CPC) has a long history of interaction with African political parties. It began with support of African liberation movements and leaders, some of whom eventually became the leaders of independent African countries. Under Xi Jinping, ID-CPC person-to-person outreach increased, experienced a pullback during COVID-19 although webinars and video meetings substituted for person-to-person contact, and now has resumed. China and the African Union declared 2026 as the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges. This will result in increased numbers of political leaders and party-to-party exchanges. In the early years, the…

The United States Army’s shift away from the counterinsurgency focus that dominated the early twenty-first century toward preparing for large-scale combat operations has been going on for nearly a decade. Discussion about that shift is dominated by a focus on technology and adoption of innovations, and it is already forcing a reimagination of a wide range of activities—from intelligence to communications to sustainment. But what about command of ground forces? All four of us have served during a period that spans the Army’s transition from low-intensity conflict and stability operations to preparing for tomorrow’s major war. Our experiences, like those…
