Markets And Consumers Are In Chaos Mode We’ve had a little time to chew on the sweeping tariff plans of “Liberation Day,” and if the markets are any indicator, it’s been tough to digest. The free-falling stock indices and the (even more than usual) crush of humanity at Costco with their cards piled high are all signs of skittish consumers and, by extension, worried businesses. Ergo, out of the blue, we teeter on the edge of a bear market. These tariffs are going to take a bite out of consumers’ household income — and the lower the income, the bigger the chunk (hence, tariffs work as a regressive tax). In response to this income hit and the continued fog of uncertainty about their future earnings, consumers have already begun to take several steps to manage the implications for their pocketbooks. Five Consumer Behaviors Here are five buying behaviors to look out for among your customers: Pantry-loading: People are stocking up because they know prices will rise. This is somewhat futile, however, as it’s not entirely clear which categories will be hit hardest (at least, the average consumer does not have the means to figure that out). More importantly, there isn’t a pantry large enough to accommodate years’ worth of trade policy chaos. Downscaling: People are purchasing less, completely skipping larger-ticket items, and opting for cheaper brands, including private labels. Promotion-hunting: Consumers are responding more eagerly to promotions, purchasing items on sale, and making real-time brand switches based on offers (such as digital deals on the grocery store app while pushing the cart down the tortilla chips aisle). Channel-shifting: Shoppers are flocking to purchase from less expensive retailers such as dollar stores, as well as from warehouse stores where buying in bulk is associated with better value (hence, the aforementioned crush of humanity at Costco). Self-servicing: Savvy consumers are relying on DIY, repairing things, and growing their vegetables (I kid you not: Numerous consumers told us this in our qualitative research!). What You Can Do To Manage The Chaos How should you react to this behavior and prepare your business and your brand? First, do the homework on your customer segments. Apply a financial resilience filter before you react in haste, because not every person and category will experience the economic effects in the same way, and a shotgun approach to giving away margins will unnecessarily deplete profits. Look before you leap — chances are that you will have to leap, but at least you will be going in the right direction. Look at any tactics through a growth framework. Use our five-lever approach — salience, product, price, experience, and access — to plan your strategy. This may take you down the road of initiatives such as shifting media dollars, changing products or pack architecture, or even providing new digital experiences with timely and relevant promotions.

Image: Aminu Abdullahi/TechRepublic Apple is gearing up to announce iOS 19 at WWDC 2025, but not all iPhones may get the update. A new rumor suggests that Apple could be dropping support for three models from 2018 — the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max. According to a report from 9to5Mac, the information comes from an anonymous source on X, known for accurately predicting Apple’s software updates in the past. If these three iPhones are dropped, it would follow Apple’s usual pattern of providing around six years of major software updates before ending full support. The iPhone X, for example, missed out on iOS 18 last year, while the iPhone 8 series lost support after iOS 16. iPhones expected to get iOS 19 If these reports hold up, iOS 19 will be available on the following devices: iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max iPhone SE 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Conflicting reports raise questions Not everyone agrees with this latest claim. An earlier leak from iPhoneSoft suggested that all iPhones running iOS 18 would also be compatible with iOS 19. That would mean the XR, XS, and XS Max should still be supported. While both sources have been reliable in the past, it’s unclear which one is correct this time. Must-read Apple coverage What this means for users Even if the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR don’t get iOS 19, they are unlikely to become obsolete overnight. Apple typically continues to release security updates for older devices to keep them safe from vulnerabilities. For instance, the iPhone 8 and iPhone X recently received an iOS 16.7.11 update with security patches. On the iPad side, reports indicate that the 7th-generation iPad (2019), which runs on the A10 Fusion chip, might also be left behind. However, most other supported iPads are expected to receive the update. iOS 19: What’s coming? Beyond device compatibility, iOS 19 is rumored to bring the biggest redesign in a decade, featuring a refreshed interface, enhanced Apple Intelligence functions, a revamped camera app, and deeper AI-powered features for Apple devices. Live translation for AirPods and AI-driven health coaching are also expected. However, some features may only be available on newer iPhones, as seen with iOS 18’s AI features being exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and later. Apple is set to officially announce iOS 19 during WWDC on June 9, 2025, with a beta release likely following soon after. The final version should be released in September alongside the next-generation iPhone models. source

Five fast-growing Nordic scaleups have reached the finals of TECH5 — the “Champions League of Technology.” They join a standout quintet from Benelux, unveiled last week, in the race to be crowned Europe’s hottest scaleup. The Nordics — comprising Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden — boast just 27 million people but punch well above their weight in innovation. The region has Europe’s highest density of unicorns — privately held companies valued at over $1bn. Despite accounting for only 4% of Europe’s population, the Nordics hosted 17% of the continent’s unicorns between 2013 and 2023. Sweden leads the pack with the EU’s top startup ecosystem, according to StartupBlink’s 2024 rankings. TNW Conference – The 2025 Agenda has just touched down Discover the insightful and dare we say controversial sessions that will take place June 19-20. The Nordics also possess one of Europe’s leading investment landscapes. The region is home to over 14,000 funded startups, which collectively raised $5.6bn in 2024, according to Dealroom data. Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark rank among Europe’s top 15 countries for VC investment, while Iceland sits in the top 50. This thriving ecosystem has produced global giants like Spotify and Klarna. Now, TECH5 aims to uncover the next wave of tech titans. TNW’s judges selected the five finalists based on their growth, impact, and future potential. Let’s meet them (listed in no particular order). 1. Kompasbank The Nordics have a thriving stable of fintechs. Over 1,500 of them currently reside in the region, which has also raised a herd of unicorns in the sector, from buy-now-pay giant Klarna to open banking platform Tink. Kompasbank is a leader of the new breed. The Danish scaleup has developed a new type of bank — exclusively for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These businesses are the backbone of the European economy, representing 99% of all EU firms and over 100 million jobs. Yet they remain underserved by traditional banks, facing slow decision-making, rigid processes, and financial barriers that hinder growth. Kompasbank wants to change that. Founded in 2018 by Michael Hurup Anderson — a Saxo Bank and Deloitte veteran — the company rapidly delivers loans, currency trading, payments, and other banking services to SMEs. “Our ambition is to empower SMEs to achieve their full potential by providing them with the speed, flexibility, and tailored financial solutions they need to invest, grow, and succeed,” kompasbank told TNW.   2. Lassie Sweden’s Lassie is redefining pet care — with insurance at its core. The fast-rising scaleup has a preventative focus that combines veterinary care, coaching for owners, e-commerce, and advice from vets to keep our furry companions healthy. The company’s founders have an ideal blend of skills and experience. CEO Hedda Båverud Olsson grew up with a veterinarian parent. COO Sophie Wilkinson is a former head of pet insurance at a Nordic insurer, while CTO Johan Jönsson has developer expertise honed at Spotify and King. After launching in 2020, Lassie rode a boom in pet ownership during the pandemic. By 2023, almost half of European households owned pets, which generated an estimated €24.6bn in spending on products and services. Investors have taken note, pumping over €36.5mn into Lassie. “Our ambition is to become the European leader in pet insurance and preventive care — then go global,” the company told TNW. “We’re not just covering medical costs; we’re improving pet health, extending lifespans, and giving owners peace of mind.” 3. NORNORM The norm that Denmark’s NORNORM wants to foster is circularity. Its target for the transition is office furniture. The scaleup helps businesses cut their environmental impact by ditching single-use furniture for a circular, subscription-based service. Founded in 2020 by former IKEA manager Anders Jepsen and Skype co-creator Jonas Kjellberg, NORNORM is based in Copenhagen. In 2022, the company secured €110mn in a funding round led by growth equity firm Verdane. Inter IKEA Development also contributed to the round. Today, NORNORM is active in 17 countries and 59 cities. The company plans to bring its service to many more businesses — and not only big brands. “Real impact comes from reaching the many, not the few, which is why we have designed an accessible and highly affordable solution that requires no upfront investment or long-term commitment,” NORNORM told TNW. “By making circular office interiors both attractive and scalable, we are driving systemic change in the industry and proving that sustainability and business success go hand in hand.” 4. Flower Flower is fighting climate change with power – energy grid power, to be precise. The Swedish company combines energy forecasting, optimisation, and trading software to stabilise grids by feeding them stored power when demand is high.   John Diklev founded the company in 2020 while still a university student in Stockholm. Within a few years, Flower had amassed Sweden’s largest portfolio of battery systems for electricity storage. Last April, Flower bought the largest battery facility in Sweden from wind energy developer OX2 AB. A few months later, the company completed a €45mn funding round, which took its total investments to a whopping €100mn. Diklev wants his home country to set a standard in the energy transition. “Sweden can take the lead in the electricity industry, a flourishing future sector, while also protecting Swedish consumers from price increases,” he said. 5. Collective Minds Radiology Collective Minds Radiology believes there is “almost infinite” expertise and data in healthcare. The problem is it’s trapped in siloes at hospitals and medical institutions. The Swedish scaleup has created a cloud-based collaboration platform that connects healthcare professionals, medical educators, and researchers. Its goal? Accelerating patient access to accurate diagnoses and effective treatments. “We are on a mission to build the world’s largest platform and community for professional healthcare collaboration that ultimately makes a difference for each patient in getting to the right diagnosis faster,” the company told TNW. “Long-term, this will increase efficiency in healthcare by saving time and money while improving the patient journey.” Collective Minds has high hopes for Sweden’s digital future. Alongside its talent, culture, and history of scaling big ideas,

When it comes to business and technology tasks, many IT leaders believe they can do anything. While this may be generally true, it also opens a potential trapdoor. Actually, no leader can work effectively and efficiently without delegating specific tasks to qualified team members. Over time, failing to offload routine tasks to subordinates will prevent the leader from focusing on other, critical priorities.  Even when an IT leader recognizes the need to delegate tasks, failing to provide sufficient guidance can lead to delays, warns Pavlo Tkhir, CTO at digital transformation company Euristiq, in an email interview. This includes failing to set deadlines, task priorities, and project goals. “It causes confusion, which slows down the process and kills motivation,” he explains.  Failure to Communicate  Clear communication is essential, says John Kreul, CIO at insurance firm Jewelers Mutual. He advises IT leaders to spend time with team members in small group meetings, one-on-ones, and town halls to build trust and confidence. “The goal is to create an environment where the leader can listen to feedback, take and answer questions, and, ultimately, drive clarity and transparency,” Kreul states in an online interview.  If goals aren’t effectively communicated, team members will be prone to making incorrect assumptions. This can lead to trouble when the leader realizes that project outcomes aren’t aligning with broader enterprise objectives. “It obviously causes delays, because the team will need more time to figure out what they need to do,” Tkhir says. “On top of that, it can really undermine your authority as a leader and damage overall team dynamics due to lost trust.”  Related:How to Prioritize Multiple Innovation Projects Customer-Centricity  A major mistake many IT leaders make is failing to develop an Agile customer-centricity plan, whether it’s for internal or external customers. “It’s the starting point and the North Star when there’s a question about direction or next steps,” says executive team coach Keith Ferrazzi, via email.  There’s a difference between what’s urgent, what’s important, and what’s both, Ferrazzi says. “Being able to focus attention on the most pressing and high-value tasks that make up a sprint — a practice of breaking-down complex projects into smaller, simpler sprints of work — is essential.” This is the key attribute in the most successful Agile teams.  Intelligent Delegation  The ultimate goal should be seeing team members self-assign tasks, identify potential roadblocks, and allocate support, Ferrazzi says. He also believes that IT leaders should allow their teams to hold fellow team members accountable. “In this way, the team adopts ‘teamship,’ with a contract of peer-to-peer accountability.”  Related:Should IT Add Automation and Robotics Engineers? Without driving individual and team connectivity, and getting close to what’s happening, it’s impossible to understand how the team really feels, Kreul says. Actively listen, assess how well team members understand current priorities, provide feedback and, finally, self-reflect on your performance as a leader, he advises. “The ultimate harm is low employee engagement, which leads to poor customer experiences, inconsistent execution, and regrettable turnover.”  All Aboard  Logical task delegation is essential. “You should provide context on tasks by outlining the ‘why’ of it and articulating main requirements and goals,” Tkhir says. “You need to set clear deadlines and expectations, including key metrics.” It’s also important to create a check-ins schedule throughout the task completion period, allowing team members to know when they will have an opportunity to have their questions addressed.  A leader should set guardrails yet allow the team to own their tasks and drive execution. “Empowerment will drive ownership and foster a curiosity to learn versus being told what to do,” Kreul says. “Task ownership will allow personal and team growth through learning by doing — critical experiences for growth.”  Related:Why Vendor Relationships Are More Important Than Ever for CIOs An effective way to ensure successful task delegation is to encourage feedback and rapidly act on necessary changes or improvements. A post-task analysis can also help team members feel engaged. “Run a review session, where the team can share their perspectives on how the project went in terms of task delegation and completion,” Tkhir says. “This is also a good way to facilitate open communication within your team or company.”  Ferrazzi says that IT leaders shouldn’t micromanage Agile teams, but ask strategic and reflective questions at review points, such as: What did we achieve in the last two weeks?  Where did we struggle and why? What will we achieve in the next two weeks?  Parting Thoughts  Let go of the perceived need to control — trusting your people is often hard, but it will lead to engaged and empowered teams, Kreul says. “Recognize and put your people first,” he advises. “Recognition reinforces the value of your team’s work and motivates future contributions.”  source

IT Service Management (ITSM) has long been the backbone of operational efficiency in modern businesses. However, as IT demands grow and systems become increasingly complex, IT teams often face challenges when it comes to keeping up. To combat this, many IT leaders are using automation, making processes faster, smarter and much more impactful. ITSM automation can empower organizations to achieve superior efficiency, accuracy, and scalability while improving employee morale and productivity. For IT leaders looking to supercharge ITSM, automation is a powerful tool and implementing it is essential for staying competitive in this fast-evolving digital landscape. Boosting Efficiency and Productivity It’s no secret thatrepetitive IT processes like ticket routing, password resets and permissions management eat up valuable time. Automation transforms these tedious tasks into streamlined workflows, ensuring they get handled efficiently and quickly without any technician intervention. For instance, automation can route IT tickets to the appropriate departments or technicians instantly, allowing IT or other employees to resolve issues faster and preventing the ticket from getting stuck in a queue or backlog. This efficiency fundamentally enhances IT performance and provides an improved service experience across the organization. “We’re lean and mean,” Deborah Rojas, Chief Information Officer for Charter Oak Financial said. Her department supports the IT needs of 300+ financial professionals and nearly 200 other staff with only a handful of full-time employees. With TeamDynamix ITSM, the practice optimization team has created a single point of contact for IT and other types of support – a “one-stop shop” for people to get help. Automated workflows help ensure that IT service tasks are completed in a timely manner, and Rojas and her team have full visibility into the status of service requests—as well as the data they need to measure the team’s effectiveness. Enhancing Employee Morale Supercharging ITSM with automation is about more than just improving service. With automation in place, you can also improve employee morale and retention. Repetitive, monotonous tasks can drain employee morale. Automation eliminates this “toil,” allowing IT staff to focus on intellectually stimulating projects. Employees feel valued and more engaged, which ultimately improves workplace satisfaction. “People feel so much more empowered when they work on challenging tasks rather than repetitive ones,” said Mark Hayes, former IT leader at Pima County. Automation empowers employees by giving them the tools to solve real problems and make impactful contributions. Pima County experienced this shift after implementing TeamDynamix to automate redundant processes. How iPaaS Amplifies ITSM Automation Using an integration platform like iPaaS with your ITSM helps connect disparate systems and simplifies complex processes. Here’s how iPaaS transforms IT operations: Enterprise Integration – Pre-built connectors allow seamless integrations across tools like Active Directory, Slack, Salesforce, Workday, and more. Enterprise-wide automation orchestrates tasks between these systems, unifying your IT environment. Workflow Automation – With a visual, no-code flow builder, TeamDynamix iPaaS empowers IT teams to create workflows faster. For example, automated workflows can handle everything from onboarding employees to resetting user credentials – all with minimal manual input. Optimized Resource Allocation – By eliminating repetitive data entry and manual processing, iPaaS frees up IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives. It reduces integration backlogs, accelerates service delivery and enhances collaboration across departments. Risk Reduction – iPaaS provides IT with heightened security and governance, ensuring compliance by centralizing control over APIs and reducing data silos. Why You Should Automate ITSM Today Automation is no longer an option for IT leaders – it’s a necessity. By incorporating automation into ITSM, you’ll achieve improved efficiency, accuracy and scalability, all while boosting employee satisfaction and morale. The real-world examples outlined above showcase the tangible benefits organizations are already experiencing, proving that the value of automation extends far beyond operational improvements. It’s about strategy, growth and the ability to innovate without constraints. Take the next step and bring the benefits of ITSM automation to your organization. With tools like TeamDynamix, you can start small, automate basic tasks and scale your efforts as your organization evolves. To learn more check out: Supercharging ITSM.
