Brian Orrell liked thisBrian Orrell liked thisI'm excited to share that I'm stepping into the role of Chief Technology Officer here at BODi. I want to thank all the leaders and mentors who have challenged and encouraged me over the years. There are too many to thank individually, but I do want to specifically recognize Susan Paul and Kathy Patterson Vrabeck, two leaders who played pivotal roles in broadening my perspective and showing me what great leadership and mentorship look like. I'm grateful to the many talented people I've had the opportunity to lead and work alongside at BODi. We've navigated an extraordinary amount of change together over the past five years, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've built, how we've adapted, and the way this team has continued to show up for one another. I'm excited to take on this next chapter and grateful for the opportunity to keep building on what we've accomplished.

Brian Orrell liked thisBrian Orrell liked thisLast weekend, I had the privilege of participating in the McDonald’s activation at the Chicago Pride Parade. I was inspired by the passion and energy of everyone representing the McDonald’s brand, showcasing the power of our three-legged stool at its best - company employees, Owner/Operators, and supplier partners coming together in support of our communities. The connection between the crowd and the brand was truly remarkable and a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we show up with authenticity, inclusion, and pride. As I reflect on the experience, I am incredibly proud to work for a company that values diversity and inclusion on both sides of the counter. I am energized to continue supporting the work of the Pride Employee Business Network and look forward to future opportunities to engage and make an impact. Thank you to the many leaders who brought this activation to life. Special shout-outs to Troy Fahey, Ethan Bailey, Rachel Grabow, and Danisha Hall for their leadership in making the event such a success. 🌈

Brian Orrell liked thisBrian Orrell liked thisI have retired from Alcon after 35 years of corporate life (13 of which at Alcon). Whenever I would start mentoring someone, I would ask how they see success. Is it a job title? A pay grade? Or, something more intangible? For me it was: — Establishing myself as a Subject Matter Expert (the “go-to” in IT for M&A) — Surrounding myself with a brilliant work family that supports and uplifts — Seeing the world, all while raising a family I found this and more at Alcon! Heading into “rewirement” and thinking about what future success looks like … First business trip, RadioShack in Tokyo and One of the last, Alcon in Melbourne

Brian Orrell liked thisBrian Orrell liked thisThe most dangerous thing about AI isn't the technology, it is the bluffing we are all doing while trying to make progress! I've been getting out and talking to a lot of executives lately, primarily HR leaders and COOs. Of course, the topic eventually comes around to AI and Automation. What is so interesting is I think we all think we should be more of an expert than we are, but the reality is we are all just trying to figure it out. I broke the ice by sharing some things I am trying to accomplish to improve the quality of performance reviews, using my own GPT. Each time I shared that I was "trying" some things, it was like it was now safe to acknowledge that they don't know where to start or their concerns about security. Then we began to have a real conversation. If someone tells you they are an expert or have AI all figured out, don't believe them. This week's goal was to find someone or a company that has it all figured out. They aren't out there. I even had coffee with a friend in the AI space. Do you know their approach…telling their customers, "I'm not sure, but let's try to figure it out." Do you know how refreshing that is? No one has all of the answers. This is happening in every boardroom, strategy session or team meeting right now. People are looking around, wondering if they are the only ones who aren't quite sure. If we want to find solutions, we have to give people permission to say "I don't know" and talk openly and honestly about our ideas, our pain points and our fears. That's when we can start having a real dialogue about why we want to move forward with AI, what difference it can make, and how we are going to get there. No one has a map because the map doesn't exist, so we all need to work together, share what we know, and what we are learning. What are you seeing in your discussions and meetings?

A modern Chevy can contain more software—and deliver more capability—than ever before, but our economic statistics can make that look like less manufacturing. That was one of the more interesting points former Senator Phil Gramm made today at Texas Public Policy Foundation while discussing his latest book, The Triumph of Economic Freedom. His point was that our statistics can obscure what the economy is actually doing. By today’s measurements, we may never “bring manufacturing back” to prior levels because more of the value embedded in a manufactured product increasingly falls into categories we classify as services. Software development, for example, counts as a service. But a huge share of the value in a modern Chevy comes from software. The car is still manufactured here. It is also more capable, multipurpose and upgradeable than its predecessors—but the value that makes it better may show up somewhere other than the manufacturing bucket. My takeaway: in a world where “software is eating the world,” our expectations for how much manufacturing it takes to deliver a useful product need to change. The line between “manufacturing” and “services” gets increasingly hazy when software is embedded in physical products. And as we think about targets for American manufacturing and domestic capabilities, we should be careful not to define success by recreating historical Bureau of Labor Statistics categories or ratios. The way we create value is changing. And his book is really good. Highly recommend picking it up.
