We’re taking a look at Big Tech’s earnings for Q3, 2023, as we do every quarter. But, after listening to the calls and reading the transcripts, one question keeps coming to the surface: Does Google lack vision? Does its leadership know where they want the company to go? Or are they trapped by their past successes, unable to move forward? If you listen to Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Meta/Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, or Amazon’s Andy Jassy, you get a clear sense of where these Big Tech leaders want their companies to be down the road. You may not agree with them. You may not like it. But their visions for their companies’ future are clear and compelling. Google? Not so much. The worst part of this, of course, is that Google likely delivers a fair bit of revenue and traffic to your business. Their stumbles might not just hurt them; they might hurt you. So, does Google lack vision? Will that lack of vision affect your business? And, most important, what can you do about it? That’s the subject of this episode of the Thinks Out Loud podcast.
