    Reinventing the Wheel
    Jul 22 2021
    In an era of transition, companies must change. People must change. McLaughlin was a rare breed of company: one that faced radical disruption in its industry and, instead of denying it, embraced it — to great success. The industry was carriage making, and McLaughlin was at the top of that game. But when the automobile started gaining in popularity, one of the sons in this family company knew they needed to change lanes. The carriage-maker became automaker and, ultimately, General Motors Canada. This is the ultimate story of a corporate pivot and adaptation to new realities.

    Hubris Defined
    Mar 6 2020
    This is a cautionary tale about arrogance in the energy business. When a 1914 dictionary dropped coal from its definition of “fuel,” the Standard Oil Bulletin gloated that coal was an “also-ran.” But cheap energy is tough to displace, and hubris is ill-advised. Over a century later, coal still reigns in the energy mix of most countries. Never count out the "also-rans."

    The Investor Visit
    Mar 6 2020
    A 1915 photograph of individuals visiting a drilling rig gets energy economist Peter Tertzakian wondering who they are and what brought them there. The result is this story of Graeme, a savvy investor visiting his oil investment, a rig that he quickly discerns is on its way to obsolescence. Impervious to the gushing promises of a fast-talking broker and slick oil company CEO, Graeme imparts investment wisdom and business lessons that still stand the test of time.
