"For Consideration"

Author: Clarence M. Rivette

As the Wirt-Rivette Group (WRG) progresses through its 40th year anniversary, our team convened to assess how we can continue to support our clients, colleagues, Partners and associates.  And, how we can integrate our affiliates in support of this endeavor.

Please follow us at https://wrgmi.com/ and watch for the For Consideration series to continue in various media formats.

The business environment has never been more dynamic, unpredictable, unstable, transformational…well we could go on.

What we can provide and facilitate are discussions and comments around trends, developments, and experiences that we can “Consider” as each of us, our teams, and organizations pursue our goals and objectives.

It is helpful to “Consider” perspectives and insight to sharpen and clarify the direction we take in response to internal and external dynamics and developments.

After all, the answers are within us and our organizations. It is our responsibility to lead and facilitate the direction, strategies and solutions.

For Consideration: Tarrifization™ and Bizplomacy™

Up until 2025 we considered how globalization changed the global economy, international business, supply chains, foreign direct investment and various other geo-political relationships and dynamics.

Globalization has now been replaced with Tarrifization. ™.  Tarrifization is use of tariffs, by the world’s leading economic power, yes-the Unted States, to reframe the global business and geo-political playing field.  Right or wrong, this is the new reality probably through the tenure of the current administration.

Diplomacy, the historical and enduring art of nations maneuvering to control, appease, align with friendly nations and foes has now become Bizplomacy™.

Bizplomacy™, is the use of business first, not diplomatic relations first, to leverage deal terms, to accelerate results, and position the USA in a favorable business position for economic and geo-political gains and advantages.

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce these new global perspectives. More to come on each one in the next For Consideration dialogue.
