Q: GMSMarker icon download via URL Setting an icon to GMSMarker in Google Maps SDK requires the UIImage, but currently my requirements are downloading it from a specific URL
Issue
The problem is that somehow only the last item sometimes is being shown. This the code on how I create markers (Updated in Swift)
func createMarkers() {
    mapView.clear()

    let mapCoordinates: [CLLocationCoordinate2D] = coordinates()
    let iconURLs: [URL] = imageURLs()

    var marker = GMSMarker()
    for i in 0..<mapCoordinates.count {
        let imageURL = iconURLs[i]

        marker = GMSMarker()
        marker.position = mapCoordinates[i]
        marker.map = mapView

        downloadImage(from: imageURL) { image in
            marker.icon = image
        }
    }
}

// It is a helper function calling `SDWebImage` which caches the `UIImage` based on its `URL` string
func downloadImage(from url: URL, completion: @escaping (UIImage) -> Void)

From code provided above, I am having trouble while I am loading the data first time, because pins are showing on map but without image. If I call createMarkers() again after some time, the icons are loaded correctly.
I don't know why this is happening, any suggestion or hint to make fix this issue?

A: Just use SDWebimage, and .iconView not .icon
let imageView = UIImageView(image: pinImage)
imageView.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/469017630796296193/R-bEN4UP.png"), placeholderImage: pinImage)
marker.iconView = imageView

A: Okay back then, I did not know much about concurrency, and seeing all the answers did not actually solved what I really had in mind.
Issue
Since the downloading an image from the URL (downloadImage(from url: URL, completion: @escaping (UIImage) -> Void)) is a background operation, by the time that the image has been downloaded, marker has gone out of scope, by being initialized again on the loop.
This way there is no way to know which image was being bound to which marker.
Also regarding Why it works when reloading it?, the SDWebImage when being reloaded has already download and cached the image, so the next time there is no delay, it's just bounded to the marker directly.
Solution
Move the mutable variable markers as an immutable value inside the loop.
func createMarkers() {
    let mapCoordinates: [CLLocationCoordinate2D] = coordinates()
    let iconURLs: [URL] = imageURLs()

    for i in 0..<mapCoordinates.count {
        let imageURL = iconURLs[i]

        let marker = GMSMarker()
        marker.position = mapCoordinates[i]
        marker.map = mapView
        applyImage(from: imageURL, to: marker)
    }
}

Now you see I introduced a helper called applyImage(from:, to:) which basically does nothing special but downloads the image from the URL and binds it to the argument of type GMSMarker.
func applyImage(from url: URL, to marker: GMSMarker) {
    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
        guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url),
            let image = UIImage(data: data)?.cropped()
            else { return }

        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            marker.icon = image
        }
    }
}

Extra there is an extension for cropping the image to 44pt X 44pt, this is not right, but it's just to preview what has been loaded.
extension UIImage {

    func cropped() -> UIImage? {
        let cropRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 44 * scale, height: 44 * scale)

        guard let croppedCGImage = cgImage?.cropping(to: cropRect) else { return nil }

        return UIImage(cgImage: croppedCGImage, scale: scale, orientation: imageOrientation)
    }
}

NOTE: The whole ViewController code can be found this Gist I wrote!
Output

A: maybe try this...move a couple lines inside the completion block, use marker...
[imageView setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:placeObject.photoPath] completed:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error, SDImageCacheType cacheType)
{
    image = [self image:image ByScalingAndCroppingForSize:CGSizeMake(44, 44)];
    [marker setIcon:image];
    [pins addObject:marker]; //assuming you use pins later
    marker.map = mapView_;
}];

since you already have the marker you're working on. of course, you will need to pay attention to your error handler.

A: same issue. And this is my solution: add 2 times
This is my code :D
- (void)addMarkers {
    //for() {
         NSString *avatarLink = [tempLocation.userInfo objectForKey:@"avatar"];
        GMSMarker *marker = [self addMarker:tempLocation andCustomView:customView];

        [customView.imageGame setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:avatarLink] placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:LOADING_ICON] options:SDWebImageCacheMemoryOnly completed:^(UIImage *image, NSError *error, SDImageCacheType cacheType) {
            marker.icon = [self captureView:customView];
        }];
    //}
}
- (GMSMarker*)addMarker: (FriendLocation*)tempLocation andCustomView: (FriendCustomInforwindow*)customView {
    GMSMarker *marker = [[GMSMarker alloc] init];
    marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(tempLocation.coordinate.latitude, tempLocation.coordinate.longitude);
    marker.animated=YES;
    marker.infoWindowAnchor = CGPointMake(0.5, 2.37);
    marker.icon = [self captureView:customView];
    marker.map = mapView;
    [markersArray addObject:marker];
    return marker;
}

Language of Baking: What's the Difference Between Baking Powder Versus Soda?
If you have been baking for quite some time, maybe you have noticed that there are two ingredients that almost never get scratched off from the list—baking powder and baking soda. For beginners, they might ask themselves, "What are these for?" or "What makes baking powder different from baking soda?" So to answer these basic mind-boggling questions, here is an article that would explain how different they are from each other and how essential their roles are in terms of baking.
Let's have a quick time travel back to our grade school years. Do you remember that science experiment with baking soda and vinegar to make an eruption of bubbles--the one about the volcanic model?
Also known as sodium bicarbonate, baking soda is a base—if you have remembered well acid and bases back in your science subject—and vinegar is an acid. So when you try to mix them together, they create a chemical reaction which is the bubble eruption. The end product of the process is carbon dioxide. The same thing goes for baking cookies, cakes, and all of your favorite pastries. When you see baking soda on the recipe, expect to see an acid on the list too such as brown sugar, lemon juice, yogurt, applesauce, vinegar, natural cocoa powder, buttermilk, cream of tartar, honey, etc. You need these counterpart acid ingredients to react with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide and allow the pastry to rise. Baking soda is up to 4x stronger than baking powder. However, more baking soda doesn't necessarily mean a higher lift; it is still about the right amount. Too much is still not good. You might end up excessive baking soda leftovers that would create a metallic soapy taste for your baked products. All baking soda should be neutralized by the right amount acid; or else, you would end up an unwanted product as mentioned above. Let's not ruin the sweet perfect cookie taste, shall we?
Keep this in mind: for every cup of flour is a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.
Baking powder contains a mixture of baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch. Yes, baking powder is a two-in-one ingredient. The first leavening occurs when you combine the dry and wet ingredient. When it gets wet, the baking powder becomes activated. Hence, you cannot prepare some batters beforehand because you know that upon the combination of the dry and wet mixtures, it has already been activated.
Keep this in mind: for every cup of flour is 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
Why Some Recipes Need Both?
You might be wondering now that putting both the baking powder and baking soda on the list would be a little redundant as one already contains the other. Both are needed due to the simple fact that one is not enough. The carbon dioxide produced by an acidic ingredient such as yogurt, brown sugar, or lemon and baking soda is not sufficient to leaven the batter's volume. So to add another lift, you should incorporate baking powder as well.
Now you have an idea why they are so important in the world of baking and what they are for. So the next time you would be seeing a cookie recipe, you won't be surprised if you have seen either or both of them on the list. It is just a matter of balance and knowing the language of baking and bread.

Q: Explicit formula for matrix operator norms On the $n$-dimensional vector space $K^n$, we have the well known norms $\Vert\cdot\Vert_p,1\leq p\leq \infty$, and a linear operator in $\mathcal{L}(K^n)$ can be identified with a matrix $A\in M_n(K)$.
We can define the following operator norms:
$$\Vert A\Vert_1:=\sup_{x\neq 0}\frac{\Vert Ax\Vert_1}{\Vert x\Vert_1},$$
$$\Vert A\Vert_2:=\sup_{x\neq 0}\frac{\Vert Ax\Vert_2}{\Vert x\Vert_2},$$
$$\Vert A\Vert_{\infty}:=\sup_{x\neq 0}\frac{\Vert Ax\Vert_{\infty}}{\Vert x\Vert_{\infty}}.$$
And it is not difficult to derive explicit formulas for the operator norms above:
$$\Vert A\Vert_1=\max_{1\leq j\leq n}\sum_{i=1}^n |a_{ij}|,$$
$$\Vert A\Vert_2=\rho(A^*A)^{1/2},$$
$$\Vert A\Vert_{\infty}=\max_{1\leq i\leq n}\sum_{j=1}^n |a_{ij}|.$$
More general, we have other operator norms defined by
$$\sup_{x\neq 0}\frac{\Vert Ax\Vert_p}{\Vert x\Vert_q}, 1\leq p,q\leq \infty.$$
I have trouble in finding explicit formulas for these norms, I guess that the formula may be the "$L_{p,q}$" norm defined by
$$\Vert A\Vert_{p,q}=\Big(\sum_j \big(\sum_i |a_ij|^p\big)^{q/p}\Big)^{1/q}.$$
Any help?

Edit: Thanks to Klaus' answer, the general cases may be too hard to handle. However, can we derive explicit formulas for the "special" cases when $1\leq p<\infty,q=1$ and $p=\infty,1\leq q<\infty$ ?

A: There is no easy formula for these norms. In fact, computing $p$-norms is NP-hard.
EDIT: For $p = \infty$ and arbitrary $q$, you need to maximize the inner product of the rows of $A$ with your vector $x$. By $L^p$-duality, the maximum is exactly the $q'$-Norm (where $\frac{1}{q} + \frac{1}{q'} = 1$) of the row. Thus, if I am not mistaken, you'd get
$$\|A\|_{p,q} = \max_{1 \leq i \leq n} \left(\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n |a_{i,j}|^{q'}\right)^{\frac{1}{q'}}.$$
Of course, if $q = 1$, the sum needs to be replaced by a maximum. By $L^p$-duality again, you then also get
$$\|A\|_{p,q} = \max_{1 \leq j \leq n} \left(\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n |a_{i,j}|^p\right)^{\frac{1}{p}}$$
for $q = 1$ and arbitrary $p$.


Last season's Grand Final runners-up Hull are still searching for their first win of the new engage Super League season after throwing away a 12-0 lead to lose 25-24 at Warrington.
The visitors even looked like snatching a draw with Matt Sing's late try and Paul Cooke's conversion making it 24-24. But man of the match Lee Briers dropped a goal three minutes from time to secure victory for the home side.
Hull took full advantage of Paul Rauhihi's sin-binning after 14 minutes to sweep into a 12-0 lead, with tries from Richard Whiting and Lee Radford. Rauhihi was yellow-carded by referee Steve Ganson for dissent, with slick passing sending Whiting over from the tap penalty.
Cooke converted and, after his mighty kick was spilled by Stuart Reardon, Radford touched down. But, with Rauhihi still off the field, Warrington opened their account when Michael Sullivan dummied his way over after Paul Johnson had been held short.
Briers tagged on the goal and, after 28 minutes, took Jon Clarke's pass to stroll through a gap, reducing the deficit to 12-10. Warrington had a let-off when Reardon fumbled Richard Horne's kick but they drew level with a Briers penalty just before the break.
There was no denying Clarke after 47 minutes with Briers again the provider when his surge was continued by Martin Gleeson. Briers' conversion made it 18-12.
Gareth Raynor went close for Hull but Warrington continued their impressive comeback with Clarke and Martin Gleeson combining for Anderson to cross in the corner for his second try in two matches since signing from St Helens.
Warrington had scored 22 unanswered points before Raynor reduced the arrears to 22-18 after 63 minutes, with Paul Cooke booting the touchline conversion.
Cooke's obstruction then allowed Briers to land his fourth goal from six attempts before he missed a drop goal which would have opened up a crucial seven-point cushion. But Rauhihi's high tackle on Motu Tony gave Hull the impetus to draw level, Richard Whiting cleverly working an opening for Sing to surge over with Cooke adding the goal.
Paul King's knock-on ultimately proved costly for Hull, as Warrington worked their way forward for Briers to drop in with his winner.

Robots could soon care for the elderly in US$3.3 trillion industry
The growing number of the elderly globally, especially in Asia, is creating a care crisis. But AI developers say caring robots can step into the breach.
In the movie Robot & Frank, a former jewel thief with dementia is given a robot programmed to take care of his every need. Released in 2012, the film was oddly prescient.
By 2015, Japanese multinational SoftBank Robotics had released the JPY198,000 Pepper robot that has an ability to read emotions and respond with words and action.
Pepper isn't perfect – it's a semi-humanoid robot – but it is already being used in businesses and homes in the UK, US and Japan, mainly to entertain, or to help customers.
Yet it is Pepper's potential for social care that interests British researchers who, in 2020, hope to complete a three-year study funded by the EU and Government of Japan government to develop culturally sensitive robots. Middlesex University and University of Bedfordshire scientists in the UK are attempting to create Pepper robots that can be pre-programmed to suit the individual they are helping.
It is true that in all developed countries we already encounter AI and robots in our daily lives – Siri is an obvious example; others are embedded in customer service – but not in a form we recognise as 'one of us'.
"Robots will evolve to become benevolent, super-intelligent living machines who advance civilisation and achieve ever-greater good for all." – David Hanson
Pepper is close; Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics' Sophia, activated in 2016, is closer. She imitates human gestures and facial expressions and can converse on some topics. However, she is designed to get smarter over time.
CEO David Hanson believes the company's robots will be AI platforms for research, education, health care, sales and service and evolve to become "benevolent, super-intelligent living machines who advance civilisation and achieve ever-greater good for all".
Ultimately it is hoped that humanoid robots that speak and move independently will not only emote but remind their owner to take medication, eat healthily or exercise.
"We are now in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where machines are taking over a lot of the things that humans use to do and there are substantial social gains as well as profits to be made," says Associate Professor Pierre Benckendorff of The University of Queensland's Business School.
Merrill Lynch puts sales of artificially intelligent machines, including these caring robots – carebots – at around $US17.4 billion annually.
Key players, says Benckendorff, are China, the US and Japan, with lucrative profits in clever ways of deploying AI to create value for customers.
A multi-trillion dollar market
Globally, there are 125 million people over the age of 80 and, by 2050, that number will be 434 million, according to WHO.
In Japan, the population is ageing faster than any other country, with people over 65 years making up a quarter of its population.
According to findings from the latest 3rd Asia Pacific Silver Economy Business Opportunities Report 2015, the Asia–Pacific's silver economy alone is expected to hit US$3.3 trillion by 2020.
Mitsuru Ishizuka, a professor at Waseda University, says that Japan lacks the expertise and financial strength of the US in AI, and Mazakazu Hirokawa, an assistant professor at the AI laboratory of the University of Tsukuba, says Japan has focused more on technology than social issues.
"If the elderly form a deep and strong relationship with a robot, does the fact that the AI is not actually sentient, but appears to be, take away their dignity, or is it deceitful? If AI embeds ethics from the start, it could fix this problem." – Sarah Kelly
However, the government is now helping fund some companies to produce elderly-focused robots that could also create a lucrative export market, reports the The Japan Times.
Worth JPY2 billion in 2016, the domestic market alone will grow to and estimated JPY400 billion by 2035, predicts the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
In the US, the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health have invested in robotic initiatives designed to improve quality of life, while iRobot, the company behind Roomba, has started its own venture capital firm to further robotics research, especially relating to elderly care.
Sarah Kelly, Associate Professor in Law and Marketing at The University of Queensland Business School is cautious about fast-developing robotic technology.
"The robots have the capacity to track, store and commercialise data, which raises ethical and governance concerns," she says.
"Additionally, if the elderly form a deep and strong relationship with a robot, does the fact that the AI is not actually sentient, but appears to be, take away their dignity, or is it deceitful? If AI embeds ethics from the start, it could fix this problem."
If more 'human' robots are a little further in the future, pet robots are already on sale.
Robotic cats are the first in Hasbro's pet line that can keep seniors company.
Sony's Aibo computer-powered dog, priced at US$2,900, sold 150,000 units after it was introduced in 1999. A more advanced version, that includes AI that allows it to modify its behaviour over time, was introduced in 2018.
PARO, developed by AIST, a leading Japanese industrial automation pioneer, is a robotic seal, costing around US$6,400, that responds to words and touch and makes sounds.
It is being used to reduce stress among patients and their caregivers.

Intermittent fasting (IF) describes a pattern of time-restricted eating. The diet has been studied for its ability to manage weight and lower risk of metabolic diseases. There are several ways IF can be executed, but they all have the same basic principle: "abstain from eating during certain time periods and eat during others," integrative internist Vincent Pedre, M.D., says. If fasting every day seems too difficult, you may prefer the 5:2 diet.
What is the 5:2 diet?
The 5:2 diet is a form of intermittent fasting that was made famous by British broadcaster and author of The FastDiet Michael Mosley. The diet was developed in response to Mosley's own health issues. After following the meal plan, he noticed a decrease in his cholesterol.
During the two "fasting" days, integrative medicine doctor Amy Shah, M.D., says to eat about 25% of your normal caloric intake (about 500 to 600 calories). On the remaining five days, you eat a normal, healthy diet.
Practicing the fast on selected days of the week makes the 5:2 diet unique from other variations of IF, which confine eating to 12-hour, eight-hour, or six-hour windows every day.
What can you eat on the 5:2 diet?
According to integrative physician Bindiya Gandhi, M.D., you can eat "normal" food on the 5:2 diet, and that includes drinking alcohol, too, meaning, unlike keto or paleo diets, you don't have to eliminate or restrict any food groups.
However, in order for the diet to be healthy and effective, you should stick with nutrient-dense foods.
"On the restricted days, the type of calories consumed is just as important as the number of calories," Pedre says. "The focus needs to be on whole foods: protein, healthy fats, and vegetables." More specifically, the focus should be on low-glycemic whole foods.
Benefits of the 5:2 diet.
The 5:2 diet specifically shows protective benefits against breast cancer, according to one small study. And aside from that, "the benefits of intermittent fasting are all the same," Gandhi says.
Some of those benefits include healing the gut and calming inflammation, Shah says. Periods of fasting show these proven anti-inflammatory responses:
Positive changes in the overall composition of gut microbiota.
Reduction of insulin resistance.
Increased immune response in cells.
Production of a compound (β-hydroxybutyrate) that blocks part of the immune system involved in inflammatory disorders like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Alzheimer's disease.
Significant reduction of inflammatory markers (cytokines, C-reactive protein).
Is the 5:2 diet a healthy way to lose and manage weight?
The 5:2 diet can lead to weight loss, Shah says, assuming you're not overeating on the other five days. Though, it's generally not sustainable long term.
The two restrictive days may be hard to adhere to, Gandhi explains, and sometimes people will overeat when the fast is over, which can inhibit weight loss.
Eating a 5:2 meal plan may be a good way to kick-start a healthy weight loss journey. Learning to transition to a healthy, long-term eating plan afterward, however, is essential.
According to Mosley, IF offers the same benefits as calorie restriction, without the limitations of a consistently low-cal diet. So while there's no single way of eating that works for everyone, if you're hoping to manage your weight, the 5:2 diet may be a good place to start.
To better understand various types of fasting, these five books may help. Always consult your physician before radically changing your diet.

The Latest CBD News
Organigram revenue stalls on erratic inventory, unfulfilled demand
New Brunswick-based cannabis producer Organigram continues to struggle, reporting lower sales and a bigger loss for its first quarter ended Nov. 30, 2020.
Net revenue for the three-month period fell to 19.3 million Canadian dollars ($15 million), lower than the previous quarter's CA$20.4 million.
Organigram's adjusted EBITDA loss grew to CA$6.4 million from a loss of CA$2.6 million in the previous quarter.
Net loss for the quarter was CA$34.3 million.
In a conference call with analysts, the company's CEO said inconsistent inventory and lower international sales hit Organigram's bottom line.
"We had unfulfilled (product orders) in the quarter. One of the challenges we've had, truly, is inconsistent supply of many of our products," CEO Greg Engel said.
"There's kind of a lost opportunity there, where we've not been able to fulfill the market demand," he said. "
We believe with increased production, we are in a great position to be able to continue to increase share on products like (Shred, a pre-shredded dry flower) and some of our core new offerings."
The CEO said the company had between CA$5 million and CA$6 million in product orders it was not able to fulfil in the quarter, though some of those orders were addressed after the Nov. 30 quarter ended.
International sales collapsed to only CA$240,000, considerably lower than the previous period's CA$2.6 million in global revenue.
Organigram said the Israeli Ministry of Health amended its quality standards for imported medical cannabis last year, requiring the New Brunswick producer to seek Good Agricultural Practices certification.
The company expects to resume shipments to Israel after receiving the certification as early as the third quarter.
Organigram's CA$19.3 million in revenue consisted of:
Adult-use cannabis products (CA$16.8 million).
Medical cannabis sales (CA$2.2 million).
International sales (CA$240,000).
Wholesale sales and other revenues (CA$115,000).
In a regulatory filing, Organigram said its decrease in gross margin quarter-over-quarter was partly attributable to inventory write-downs (CA$3.1 million) and unabsorbed overhead (CA$2.3 million).
As of Dec. 1, Organigram had cash and short-term investments of CA$79 million, with CA$60 million owing on its term loan.
Engel told analysts the company continues to see the United States as an opportunity but added: "There isn't a clear path as a Canadian company dual listed (as OGI) on the Nasdaq and (Toronto Stock Exchange), with the regulations that exist there currently, to enter the U.S. in the THC market.
"Our approach is really about developing branded products, innovation and technology we feel will lend itself to the market, and that may be something we look to license out or we look to do ourselves in the future as the regulations allow."
On the proposed merger of Canadian cannabis giants Aphria and Tilray, announced in December, Engel said "bigger does not necessarily mean better."
"Some of our larger peers have shuttered multiple facilities," he said, adding that the potential merger might be more about international markets than the Canadian market.

This specimen of cut and polished Fluorite slice displays to advantage the inter grown formation of the Fluorite from the Ladywash Mine, Derbyshire. The slice also shows the characteristic colour and transparency and phantom zoning of most Fluorite from the area. Sparkling metallic yellow micro-crystals of Marcasite/Pyrite are seen within zoned areas, with scattered spheres of micro black Bitumen. A fascinating specimen from the mine.

Why Interim?
Fast Growth
Top Signs You Need an Interim Executive
InterimExecs RED Team of top interim and part-time executives around the globe range in specialties from CEO to COO, CIO, CFO, CMO, and CSO. But, title is not the main focus. Interim executives are often project-based resources that can be pulled in alongside the current management team to carry out big projects, mentor someone internally, or assess how your business is doing and create a roadmap for the future.
If you meet the following criteria, we can probably help:
Great Interim Executives Are Partners
Greg Voutsos | Head of Operations & Client Engagement
When smart owners hire managers with the intent of working together for a long time, it's easy to call their relationship – if it works – a partnership. It's not a partnership in the legal sense and it's not a partnership in the investment sense, where partners share costs and gains. But in great working relationships between employer and employee, each looks out for the other. Each invests to build and maintain a good relationship and share the gains of working well together and advancing the mission and economic and social health of the organization.
The problem with rampant outsourcing is that it leads to thinking on the part of employers and contractors that relationships are reduced to a transaction. Pay me x and I'll perform as ordered. Stop paying me and I'm gone. The logic is the same whether it's one contractor or ten thousand. While it is transactional in the letter of the contract, it is not in the spirit of one. The danger of a purely transactional mindset is that loyalty goes out the window. Loyalty from a boss to an employee and loyalty from an employee or manager to the organization. In organizations with a strongly transactional bent you can bet that any corporate talk about integrity is a watered-down concept at best.
Can an Interim Chief Innovation Officer Kick-Start Stalled Growth?
Babs Ryan | Chief Innovation Officer
Growth strategies are one of the three topics that are top of mind for US CEOs in 2021, according to a study by PwC. Yet 86 percent of CEOs will fail at creating sustained growth, according to Bain & Company.
Should you call in an interim chief innovation and growth officer (CInO)?
4 Winning Strategies to Add Value to Portfolio Companies
"For private equity funds, the clock starts ticking the second you sign, the second you own your new portfolio company. So the Holy Grail is: how do you add superior value?" That's how InterimExecs CEO Robert Jordan helped kick-off a recent panel about adding value to portfolio companies. Sponsored by InterimExecs and hosted by Private Equity Career News publisher David Toll and John McNulty's Private Equity Professional, panel experts shared best practices for value creation.
On the panel were Jordan, Micah Dawson, vice president of Portfolio Support at Trivest Partners; Pericles Mazarakis, managing partner of TriSpan; and Mike Zawalski, an InterimExecs RED Team member who serves in executive chairman roles with PE backed portfolio companies. Here, we round up the top insights from the panelists, everything from the importance of monthly operation reports to establishing trust with the business owner and investing in human capital.
5 Times Companies Should Choose Interim Management Over a Full-Time Executive
Having a qualified and competent executive management team is integral to the success of any organization. Problems arise, however, when an executive suddenly vacates a position or there is a mismatch between the internal capabilities of a leadership team and the actual skillsets needed for a specific stage of a company's growth.
Red flags may start to arise in an organization whether it be a lack of a clear vision, high team turnover, stagnant sales, missing innovation, or breakdowns in communication. The knee-jerk reaction of many companies is to look at a leadership change via a full-time executive search, which can take 6-9 months and include long-term contracts with added costs of perks like severance and benefits.
The world of interim management, a specialty that has grown significantly through the years, has offered an alternative route for companies wanting to maintain forward motion while re-evaluating what is needed to take them into the future. As opposed to a full-time executive search, interims can be on board in a matter of days and come with flexible contracts and pricing models.
Executives who specialize in interim management have track records building, fixing, stabilizing, and growing companies around the globe. In an executive-as-a-service model, companies can bring in an executive to temporarily fill a specific role – CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, etc. – or to serve alongside the current management team to execute on a big initiative where clear vision, leadership, and even mentorship is needed.
What are the Benefits of Interim Managers?
The only certainty in business is change. But change is accelerating, less predictable, and increasingly, beyond the control of organizations. As technology and unforeseen events continue to drive exponential change, businesses that can't keep up risk being left behind.
Companies struggling to generate growth and stay relevant amid rapid transformation often look to new leadership. A growing number of companies are also looking to a different kind of leader—one who specializes in change and embraces the challenge of helping companies solve their biggest issues. Enter the interim executive, a new breed of on-demand leadership that brings outside perspective, cutting-edge thinking, veteran experience, and a laser focus on results.
RED Team Executives: On Call to Help Now
Uncertainty is growing in the US with coronavirus cases mounting. California, Illinois, Michigan, and other states have taken serious actions with shelter-in-place orders, leaving many people wondering how this will impact them personally as well as their companies and the economy as a whole.
At the same time, we're reflecting on how much there is to be grateful for, including the strong relationships we've built over 10+ years with inspiring leaders. These are women and men who focus their careers on running into the burning building – the company in trouble – learning fast, listening, assembling resources, providing fresh and objective insights, developing new plans and actions for survival and ultimately blueprints for a brighter future.
We recently convened a call with some RED Team execs who shared how they are adapting to new ways to work. Many executives shared experiences on the front lines figuring out how to help combat the virus and also help people work smarter and safer:

Growing and Managing a Family Business
Robert Jordan | CEO, InterimExecs
At the beginning of my career, I was involved in a lot of startups. I was starting with nothing – zero, zilch — so I've always had a lot of respect for entrepreneurs because you start from an idea and not much else. To be honest, in the beginning, I somewhat discounted my friends who were inheriting family businesses. When they've been at it for generations, I thought 'well, how hard can this be?'
Thing is, the older I get, the more I've gotten to know various family offices and family run businesses and now, I've come to realize that running a family business is harder. Much harder. It's a legacy that in some ways can be so overwhelming to continue to build, and not screw up, whereas with startups you have the luxury of low or no expectations.
Compare that with the legacy/obligation/burden handed to the second, third, or fourth generation, and there can be incredible pressure on the business and family to do well. And it's even harder now, when no business – no sector – is immune to the kind of disruption, to the kind of disintermediation that technology has introduced into every industry and market. Nothing can be taken for granted, regardless of longevity.
Who Will Fill the Role When Your CFO Retires?
"CFOs are retiring at the fastest pace in at least a decade," reports a Wall Street Journal article citing that the increasing complexity of the role and for public CFOs, the lure to cash out shares in a hot stock market, make it even more attractive to make the change. An analysis of 12 years of regulatory filings by Audit Analytics for The Wall Street Journal showed that "one in six executives who left the CFO position at a U.S. public company in 2018 did so to retire, the highest share since at least 2007."
In addition to many baby boomers simply being of retirement age, CFOs are facing new demands professionally. Historically, a CFO's workload was focused on compliance, best accounting practices, and financial reporting. As the financial world grapples to evolve at an accelerated rate with the onslaught of digital transformation, so does a CFO's job description. Today CFOs are faced with even more complex responsibilities that include making strategic decisions about investments, understanding and leveraging technology to streamline accounting practices, and developing financial disaster recovery plans to deter risk and cybercrime.
