The Celtic Management of 'Zara'

Although until its IPO it preferred to keep a low profile, Inditex presented this week in Florence, in front of more than a thousand executives, the keys to Zara's success. Juan Carlos Cubeiro explains what he calls a Celtic Management .

The Triumph of Freedom. The Celts were a people of free people, grouped into clans (clan is a Gaelic word that means children). Amancio Ortega has dedicated his company to freedom: the freedom of customers, who can touch the clothes and shuffle them without being harassed by the shop assistants; the freedom of its employees, who propose ideas and assume responsibilities at a very young age. And in the Celtic world, unlike the Roman world, women had the same rights and obligations as men.

The Need for Opinion. At Inditex, it is actively encouraged that all entities contribute suggestions. Positive criticism is valued, recognized and demanded. Among the Celts, everyone participated in the assemblies and fought equally. From the opinion of the chain's more than a thousand stores, a different order arises twice a week.

The Sense of Bravery. The Celts were powerful warriors because they believed in the immortality of the soul. For them, war – today, commercial war – was freedom and courage. That is the spirit that has guided a company that has gone from being present in nine countries to thirty-three in five years, opening a new store every two days.

The Proximity of the Client. In addition to being warriors, the Celts had a reputation for being hospitable. Guests receive the highest honor. Currently, we talk about the Zara generation, customers who offer a good part of the 22,000 different models (a total of ninety million items), who come once every three weeks to buy. The street (not Paris, not Milan, not New York) is in charge.

The Value of Communication. All language is an interdependent system of relationships in the form of a network, said Saussure. The Celts did not have a written language, because they believed that writing killed the living spirit of knowledge. Something similar happens at Inditex: communication is oral, direct contact, not by e-mail.

The Power of the Triad: The success of many companies, such as Sony, SAP or Hewlett-Packard, is understood from tandem leadership: leader-manager. At Inditex, an intuitive visionary, a financial strategist and an efficient manager are combined: a triad, a three-leaf clover, very typical of the Celtic world. The order of wise men was made up of the bard (historian), the vate (diviner) and the druid (the guardian of the mysteries).

Community Trust. In Galicia there remain more than 5,000 Celtic forts (nuclei of about ten homes). In addition to the group's 24,000 employees, another 10,000 people (in four hundred workshops) work indirectly for Inditex. They follow the philosophy of vertical integration, ninety percent of production is carried out in Europe, which is more expensive but allows for a faster response. The result is a headquarters with the area of one hundred football stadiums.

Shared Pride and Individual Humility. Flexibility is a quality common to the Group's professionals, which requires a lot of humility. The founder of Inditex is an example of simplicity. “Celtic, in the frugal, spiritual and simple,” wrote the romantic historian Benito Vicetto. Criticizing competitors is not allowed. The only valid pride is collective.

The Virtue of Entrepreneurship. Every Celt shared the values of wisdom, loyalty, bravery and generosity. At Inditex, the two hundred designers have to sell their collections to the commercial directors and they to the store managers. There is no imposition. The managers are the ones who identify what the client wants.

The Advantage of Cultivating. Hiring at Inditex is not a secret (the CV counts for very little), but development is. The cultural immersion is very strong, six months at headquarters and in stores for the director of a country before taking office). On the other hand, beauty is a consequence, in addition to physical appearance, of the level of self-esteem. For this reason, at Inditex we value the ability of each human being to give the best image of themselves. Something also characteristic of Celtic culture: to the banquets (a social institution) men and women were well dressed and groomed. Soap is a Celtic invention.

The Level of Demand. It is said that Inditex pays 50% better than others, but demands 100%. The level of rotation is very low. All employees have shares in the company

The Use of Speed. The Celtic armies were not orderly, but they were fast. Compared to the traditional one-year planning, most Zara models go from sketch to store in three weeks.

Management by Common Sense. Intuition, so valued in the arts, is despised in business, except at Zara. It is the fruit of experience and reflection. The average training period for a druid was 20 years. Common sense stands out in many of its decisions: in the face of its competitors' online euphoria, Zara stayed on the sidelines.

Thirteen keys, like the thirteen months of the Celtic calendar. Inditex has broken the rules of its market:

freedom versus order,

speed versus planning,

integration versus subcontracting,

intuition versus rationality…

It is the most spectacular example, but not the only one, of Celtic management.

There are Pescanova, Zeltia, Televés and a good part of fashion as representatives of a new style. Faced with Latin Caesarism and Anglo-Saxon technocracy, this is how business is understood in Western Finisterre.

The narrative here is a bit more complex than you're giving it credit for. What I'm about to say is not meant to defend or accuse anyone here, just to set the record straight. Ads annoy the shit out of me too, but there's a reason we've started seeing so many of them.

First of all: The Internet is not free. I'm sorry, but it's not. Hosting video on the Internet in particular is extremely not free. Servers cost money, IT folks and developers cost money, memory costs a loooot of money, bandwidth costs money, and on the scale at which YouTube operates in order to serve you and billions of other people 4K 60fps video the instant you click a link, all over the world? The ELECTRICITY to keep the servers powered on is a significant amount of money. This money has to come from somewhere.

The traditional structure under which the tech industry has operated for a long time has been venture capital. You have a great idea for an app but no funding? You go talk to some guy in Palo Alto who is richer than God and makes his money make more money by loaning it to folks whose ideas he thinks will be profitable long-term. He gives you the money you need to get your app big enough to get noticed; the app is bought by a larger company on the assumption it will be able to help them profit (or, very rarely, taken to an IPO); and the money earned in this sale or IPO is used to pay the venture capital guy back with interest and (sometimes) make you rich enough to join him.

This is what happened with YouTube. Like a surprising number of early social media sites, they started as a more complex take on a dating site, but quickly pivoted direction when they realized there was a much larger market on the 2005 internet that would respond to "we will host your videos for free." (see paragraph 2. For those who don't remember the 2005 internet - being able to download 30 second clips of 240p video meant you were living pretty high on the hog. Anything longer that wasn't a torrent was probably a Flash animation - recreated by your computer using a set of assets and instructions and a specialized plugin that ran in your browser, rather than downloaded frame by frame and assembled into video.) Google bought them in 2008 and - here's the thing - has run the division at a loss since then.

So - While the vast majority of tech startups have a sale to a larger company as an end goal, there is that small percentage that make an IPO and start publicly trading on the stock exchange instead. These are your Googles and your Facebooks, the companies which will be buying the smaller startups that are looking to sell. The folks who run these companies largely grew up in the 80s and 90s when Walmart and other big box stores were marching across the US swallowing every independent competitor, and their business model borrows a lot from Walmart:

- Find a market you think will be profitable (for Walmart this is a geographical location; for a tech company it's a new - or newly acquired - service)

- Deliberately operate at a loss in this market until you have driven the competition out of business or created a barrier to entry so high that no competition would be stupid enough to challenge you. (For Walmart, this meant offering a far wider range of product than the local general store or five and dime, as well as hardware, furniture, entertainment, etc. at rock bottom "rollback" prices until all of those stores in the area closed. For this tech example, it's hosting video - and so much of it, at such high quality - that the idea of looking anywhere other than YouTube for independently made, free to watch, long form content is basically a punchline. Where are you gonna go - Vimeo?)

- Then and only then, start extracting the actual price for the product from the consumer. (For Walmart this meant jacking up prices, lowering the production quality of the house brands, and ceasing to offer some products which didn't sell well even if they were the only retailer in the area that still sold them. For tech companies it means subscription models and - more importantly, since people who are used to getting something for free won't be happy to start paying for it - nightmarish amounts of ads and paid content, and ever-tightening restrictions on getting around them.)

- Turn a profit or back out of the venture (by closing the store or sunsetting the service).

YouTube is at stage 3 and has been for a while now. Google would like for them to be a profitable stage 4. Unfortunately for Google, there is so much precious data on YouTube now that even they could not escape sunsetting it with their reputation intact, so they only have one path out of 3.

The pandemic changed the Internet a LOT. Far more education, socialization, entertainment, etc. occurs there now than pre-2020. Stockholders are expecting dividends that reflect this. My guess would be that this has led Google to see how far they can push YouTube toward a #4 and if it will actually be profitable before they break the userbase, alongside their broader push to nullify adblock in Chrome (USE FFX for the love of all that's pure and holy)

I'm not really sure what else to say here. This is the sort of thing that would take mass action and probably a fundamental shift in how Western capitalism operates to reverse at this point. YouTube are not going to give up without a fight, and if they do, a lot of people risk the loss of livelihoods, important resources, and precious memories. You can play around with the algorithm and see if you can get it to treat you better by closing the app or tab immediately any time you are served an ad. But don't expect that to be a long term solution.

This is depressing, but it's not just that one guy in some office got greedy. It's a keeping the lights on thing. Venture capital has tightened its fists so we're going to see more of this enshittification capitalism soon unless we deliberately put the brakes on it at the government regulations level. This video from Cory Doctorow is, while not a be all end all, at least somewhere concrete to start:

doesn't it piss you off corporations act like you were born to see ads. why it's so bad for trying to escape them??? the way it's okay for websites to make ads sooo annoying you feel like you have no choice but buy premium. and even then you can't escape ad reads. i don't want to waste hours of my life skipping ads. finding the x button. or being woken by an ad that pops at the end of 3 hours long white noise video. using spotify without premium is a nightmare. i hate how ads are everywhere and somehow it's normal to say 'if you don't want to see ads on youtube and use adblock then you're stealing from them!' what. i'm gonna install adblock on every computer elders in my family use as a preventive measure bc too many websites put ads in between news articles!!!

In the competitive business landscape, quality management plays a pivotal role in ensuring that companies deliver exceptional products and services. One of the most effective methodologies that businesses across the globe, including India, have adopted to enhance operational efficiency and product quality is Six Sigma. Central to this methodology are the Six Sigma quality tools, which help in identifying defects, improving processes, and ensuring that companies meet customer expectations.

This article delves into the key Six Sigma quality tools, their relevance to Indian industries, and how businesses can leverage these tools to boost productivity, reduce waste, and improve profitability.

What is Six Sigma?

Before diving into the Six Sigma quality tools, it is essential to understand the concept of Six Sigma. Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology that aims at improving business processes by eliminating defects and reducing variation. Originally developed by Motorola in the 1980s, Six Sigma has since been adopted by companies worldwide, including several Indian businesses across sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and IT services.

Six Sigma follows the DMAIC framework (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to drive process improvements. At the heart of this methodology are the Six Sigma quality tools that help organizations make data-driven decisions, identify problem areas, and ensure continuous improvement.

The Importance of Six Sigma Quality Tools for Indian Businesses

India, being one of the fastest-growing economies, faces stiff competition both globally and domestically. As businesses strive to improve their products and services while minimizing costs, the need for effective quality management has never been more critical. Here, Six Sigma quality tools come into play.

These tools help Indian businesses:

Reduce defects in production and service delivery processes.

Streamline operations, thereby lowering costs and improving efficiency.

Enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring that products and services meet or exceed customer expectations.

Drive innovation by encouraging continuous improvement in processes.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the six key Six Sigma quality tools that businesses can use to improve their operations.

1. Pareto Chart

The Pareto Chart is a powerful tool used to identify the most significant factors contributing to a problem. It is based on the Pareto Principle, which states that 80% of the problems come from 20% of the causes. By focusing on these vital few causes, businesses can prioritize their efforts for maximum impact.

For instance, in Indian manufacturing sectors, companies can use Pareto Charts to identify the most common defects in their production lines. By addressing these key issues, they can significantly reduce defects and enhance product quality.

2. Fishbone Diagram (Cause-and-Effect Diagram)

Also known as the Ishikawa or Fishbone Diagram, this tool helps in identifying the root causes of a problem. It breaks down problems into various categories such as materials, methods, machines, and manpower, making it easier to pinpoint the cause of the issue.

In Indian industries like pharmaceuticals or IT services, where multiple variables affect the final outcome, the Fishbone Diagram is an effective way to map out all possible factors and prioritize the ones that need attention.

3. Control Charts

Control charts, also known as Shewhart charts, are used to monitor process behavior over time and identify any variations that may lead to defects. This is one of the most effective Six Sigma quality tools for ensuring that a process remains within specified limits and that any deviations are detected early.

In sectors like healthcare, where quality and consistency are of utmost importance, control charts help Indian hospitals and clinics ensure that their processes, such as patient care or medical testing, remain consistent and meet the highest standards.

4. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

FMEA is a systematic tool used to identify potential failures in a process and evaluate their impact on the final product or service. It helps businesses prioritize which failures to address based on their severity, occurrence, and detectability.

Indian automotive and electronics companies, for example, can use FMEA to assess risks in their product development processes and take preventive measures to avoid costly failures. This not only improves product reliability but also boosts customer satisfaction.

5. Histogram

A histogram is a graphical representation of data that shows the frequency distribution of a set of variables. It helps businesses understand the distribution of data and identify patterns or variations that may require corrective action.

In industries such as textiles or FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) in India, histograms can be used to analyze product quality data, such as the weight or size of products, and ensure that they meet the required specifications.

6. 5 Whys

The 5 Whys technique is a simple yet effective tool for uncovering the root cause of a problem by repeatedly asking “Why?” until the fundamental issue is identified. This tool is particularly useful in finding solutions to problems that are not immediately apparent.

Indian companies across sectors, from IT to retail, can benefit from using the 5 Whys technique to get to the bottom of operational issues, resolve them quickly, and prevent them from recurring.

Why Six Sigma Quality Tools Matter in the Indian Context

https://businessviewpointmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/33.3-Why-Six-Sigma-Quality-Tools-Matter-in-the-Indian-Context-Image-by-alexsl-from-Getty-Images-Signature.jpg

Indian businesses are constantly under pressure to deliver high-quality products and services at competitive prices. By adopting the Six Sigma quality tools, companies can achieve several significant benefits:

Cost Savings: Reducing defects and improving process efficiency translates to lower operational costs. This is especially crucial in price-sensitive markets like India.

Improved Quality: By focusing on quality improvements, businesses can ensure customer satisfaction, leading to increased loyalty and repeat business.

Global Competitiveness: Indian companies aiming to expand globally need to meet international quality standards. Six Sigma quality tools help them achieve this by maintaining high levels of consistency and reliability.

Employee Engagement: Implementing Six Sigma encourages a culture of continuous improvement, where employees are actively involved in problem-solving and process enhancement.

Conclusion

In a rapidly evolving business environment like India, maintaining quality and efficiency is crucial for long-term success. By leveraging the Six Sigma quality tools, companies can not only improve their processes but also reduce costs, enhance customer satisfaction, and stay ahead of the competition. Whether it’s a manufacturing unit aiming to reduce defects or an IT services firm looking to streamline operations, these tools provide a structured and data-driven approach to continuous improvement.

By focusing on eliminating defects and enhancing efficiency, Indian businesses can unlock their true potential and create a lasting impact in the global market.

From Private to Public: The Benefits and Challenges of SME IPOs

Introduction

Thinking about taking your SME public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO)? This decision can open up new growth opportunities, but it also comes with its share of challenges. In this article, you'll learn about the key advantages of an SME IPO, such as increased access to capital and enhanced credibility, as well as potential hurdles like regulatory complexities and market volatility. Whether you're a business owner, investor, or stakeholder, this guide will provide you with a clear understanding of what to expect from the IPO process and help you decide if it’s the right step for your business.

Benefits of SME IPOs

Going public can be a transformative step for SMEs. Here are the primary benefits:

Access to CapitalAn IPO provides an opportunity for SMEs to raise substantial capital by selling shares to the public. This influx of funds can be used for various purposes, such as expanding operations, investing in research and development, acquiring new assets, or entering new markets. For many SMEs, the capital raised through an IPO is crucial for scaling up and accelerating growth.

Increased Visibility and CredibilityListing on a public exchange enhances a company’s visibility and credibility in the market. A public listing often signals financial stability and transparency, boosting confidence among customers, suppliers, and business partners. This heightened profile can help SMEs secure better terms from suppliers, attract high-quality employees, and enter new partnerships that drive further growth.

Liquidity for ShareholdersAn IPO creates a liquid market for the company’s shares, providing an exit strategy for early investors and founders. It also allows them to monetize a portion of their holdings while retaining a stake in the business. This liquidity can be attractive to future investors, providing a clear path to the realization of their investments.

Employee Retention and AttractionGoing public enables SMEs to offer stock options and other equity-based incentives to attract and retain talented employees. Stock options can be a powerful tool for aligning employee interests with the company’s long-term goals, fostering a culture of ownership and commitment.

Potential for ExpansionThe capital raised through an IPO can be used to finance expansion plans, whether that involves entering new markets, acquiring competitors, or investing in new products and technologies. With greater financial flexibility, SMEs can pursue strategic initiatives that might otherwise be out of reach.

Challenges of SME IPOs

While the benefits are compelling, there are also significant challenges associated with going public:

Regulatory ComplianceAfter an IPO, SMEs must comply with a range of regulatory requirements, including periodic financial reporting, disclosures, and corporate governance rules. These obligations can be resource-intensive and require dedicated compliance personnel, legal advisors, and financial experts. The regulatory burden can divert management attention away from core business activities.

Costs of Going PublicConducting an IPO involves considerable costs, including underwriting fees, legal and accounting expenses, and the costs associated with marketing the IPO to potential investors. Post-IPO, there are ongoing expenses related to maintaining a public company status, such as investor relations, financial audits, and compliance reporting. For SMEs, these costs can significantly impact profitability.

Increased ScrutinyPublic companies are subject to intense scrutiny from regulators, investors, and analysts. This increased transparency can lead to pressure to meet quarterly earnings expectations, sometimes at the expense of long-term strategic goals. Moreover, any misstep or negative news can result in stock price volatility, affecting the company’s valuation and market perception.

Market VolatilityPublicly traded companies are exposed to market fluctuations that can impact stock prices regardless of the company’s actual performance. For SMEs, which may lack the financial stability of larger corporations, market volatility can pose significant risks, including reduced access to capital and potential hostile takeovers.

Dilution of ControlSelling shares to the public often results in a dilution of ownership for existing shareholders, including founders and early investors. This dilution can lead to conflicts over the company’s strategic direction, as new shareholders may have different expectations and priorities. Maintaining control while balancing shareholder interests can be challenging for SMEs.

Is an IPO the Right Choice for Your SME?

Deciding to go public is a significant decision that depends on multiple factors:

Growth Stage: Companies should assess whether they are at a stage where they can sustain the costs and meet the obligations of being a public entity.

Market Conditions: Favorable market conditions are crucial for a successful IPO. Timing the market and gauging investor sentiment is vital.

Long-Term Goals: Aligning the decision to go public with long-term strategic objectives is essential. Consider whether the benefits of raising capital outweigh the costs and challenges involved.

Alternative Funding Options: SMEs should explore alternative funding sources, such as venture capital, private equity, or debt financing, which may offer the necessary capital without the pressures associated with public markets.

Conclusion

Taking your SME public through an IPO offers valuable opportunities, such as increased capital and enhanced market credibility. However, the journey is far from straightforward, involving a maze of regulatory requirements and potential market risks. Successfully managing the entire process, from meticulous documentation to securing a listing, requires not only careful planning but also a deep understanding of the complexities involved. Having the right expertise by your side can make a significant difference, helping to ensure that your business navigates these challenges effectively and emerges stronger in the public market

Mastering the Share Market: A Comprehensive Guide

The share market, often referred to as the stock market, is a crucial component of the global economy. It allows companies to raise capital and investors to gain ownership in businesses, aiming for growth and returns. Understanding how the share market works is essential for anyone looking to invest or simply broaden their financial knowledge.

What is the Share Market?

The share market is a platform where shares of publicly listed companies are bought and sold. These transactions occur on stock exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or Nasdaq. Shares represent ownership in a company, and by purchasing them, investors can become partial owners.

How Does the Share Market Work?

In the share market, companies list their shares through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). After the IPO, these shares are traded in the open market. The price of shares fluctuates based on supply and demand, company performance, and broader economic factors.

Types of Shares

There are mainly two types of shares in the market: common shares and preferred shares. Common shares come with voting rights and potential dividends, while preferred shares typically offer fixed dividends without voting rights. Understanding the difference is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

Benefits of Investing in the Share Market

Investing in the share market offers several advantages:

Potential for High Returns: Over time, stocks have historically provided higher returns compared to other asset classes.

Ownership in Companies: Buying shares means owning a part of a company, allowing you to benefit from its growth.

Dividend Income: Some companies distribute a portion of their profits to shareholders as dividends, providing a steady income stream.

Risks Associated with Share Market Investments

While the share market offers opportunities for growth, it also comes with risks:

Market Volatility: Share prices can be highly volatile, leading to potential losses.

Economic Factors: Economic downturns, interest rate changes, and political instability can negatively impact share prices.

Company Performance: Poor financial performance or management decisions can lead to a decline in share value.

How to Start Investing in the Share Market

To start investing in the share market, follow these steps:

Research and Education: Learn about the stock market, different sectors, and investment strategies.

Open a Brokerage Account: Choose a reputable broker that suits your needs and open an account.

Start Small: Begin with a small investment and gradually increase your exposure as you gain experience.

Diversify Your Portfolio: Spread your investments across different sectors to mitigate risk.

Stay Informed: Keep track of market trends, news, and company performance to make informed decisions.

Long-Term Investment Strategies

Successful share market investors often adopt long-term strategies. This includes holding onto quality stocks for extended periods, reinvesting dividends, and avoiding emotional trading decisions. Long-term investing allows you to benefit from the compounding effect and ride out market volatility.

Conclusion

The share market is a dynamic and essential part of the financial landscape. Whether you are a seasoned investor or a beginner, understanding how the share market works is key to making informed investment decisions. With the right knowledge and strategy, the share market can be a powerful tool for building wealth over time.

SoftBank launches healthcare venture with Tempus AI

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/softbank-launches-healthcare-venture-with-tempus-ai/

SoftBank launches healthcare venture with Tempus AI

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

SoftBank Group, the Japanese technology investment firm, has announced a strategic joint venture with Tempus AI, a company specialising in AI-driven medical data analysis and treatment recommendations.

This partnership was revealed by SoftBank’s CEO, Masayoshi Son, during a briefing in Tokyo, marking another significant move in SoftBank’s recent series of AI investments as the company ramps up its investment activities following a period of relative quiet.

Earlier this year, SoftBank invested approximately $200 million in Tempus during its Series G funding round, preceding Tempus’s Nasdaq listing in June. Tempus is renowned for its genomic testing services and AI-powered treatment and clinical trial recommendations in the United States, leveraging a comprehensive database of millions of patient clinical records.

As reported by Reuters, the partnership is hoped to enable these advanced services to be deployed in Japan, making it one of the first non-US healthcare markets with this type of connected health capabilities.

“Working with Tempus, we’ll develop services at pace in Japan. With the database of 7.7 million U.S. patients, we’re at a running start,” Son said about the venture.

The partnership is anticipated to close in July, subject to usual closing conditions, and will involve an investment of 15 billion yen (close to $93 million) from each party.

Google’s support for Tempus AI

Tempus AI has also recently caught the eye of Google, an Alphabet company that is still on a spending spree to acquire and develop artificial intelligence technologies. Google’s support is crucial for Tempus, as the search giant has been a major player in deploying AI over time. This includes standout systems like AlphaGo and foundational innovations such as the transformer architecture used in ChatGPT.

Tempus uses AI technology to develop what it describes as “intelligent diagnostics,” which are diagnostic tests tailored specifically to the patients they apply to. The initiative is designed to improve the efficacy of existing treatments and speed up the development of new therapies.

On June 14, 2024, Tempus conducted its IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. The company’s stock fared well, surging as much as 15% during its first day of trading and closing nearly 9 per cent higher. The market capitalisation of Tempus AI reached $6 billion.

Google’s financial involvement with Tempus AI began in June 2020 when Tempus issued a $330 million convertible promissory note to Google as part of a cloud services agreement. Later that year, Tempus provided Google with $80 million of preferred stock to partially satisfy the original note.

Over the period from 2002 to 2023, revenue at Tempus AI grew by 183%. Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation are improving, although it has yet to reach profitability.

The quality of its technology is evident from the current client base. Tempus has worked with approximately 95% of the world’s top 20 publicly traded biopharma companies. In addition to its collaborations with over 200 pharmaceutical companies, Tempus is used in over half of U.S. academic medical centres and connects with over 7,000 physicians.

This partnership between SoftBank and Tempus AI, coupled with Tempus’s market lead and its continuous strategic partnerships with numerous tech giants, establishes it as a significant participant among companies addressing new AI-powered healthcare services.
