One of the great things about being a consultant is that I’m always learning. What I learn from working with one client often becomes a blessing to another client.
Recently I’ve been working with a fabless semiconductor company and learning much about the industry. Last week, The Lion’s Den DFW invited me to share some of what I’ve learned. You can watch a video of my presentation at their website (look under Practice Pitch under Events) or you can click on the link below to read what I said and see the slides I presented.
In the article linked below (and the presentation I gave), I quickly fly through the fascinating 70+ year history of the industry leading up to the Covid era, talk about the real causes of the semiconductor supply chain chaos we saw during the pandemic, and then talk about what has happened on the backside of that chaos to try to correct (and at least in some cases overcorrect). The entire talk is meant to be a basic layman’s introduction to the industry. Experts will undoubtedly chuckle at some of my oversimplifications and may wonder why I left some things out. Feel free to provide your perspectives and corrections in the comments below (I do love to learn).
By the way, the annual Lion’s Den DFW pitch competition is coming up in a few weeks. If you haven’t already made plans, I recommend you consider registering to attend either in person at Dallas Baptist University or virtually online. The Lion’s Den DFW provides Christian investors and entrepreneurs an environment to connect and collaborate that results in the creation of wealth while having a meaningful kingdom impact. Hopefully I’ll see you “there” (I’ll be online).
