      <image:title>Thought Leadership - Weathering the Storm - How Organizations Can Strengthen Resilience During Hurricane Season</image:title>
      <image:caption>As hurricane seasons grow more intense, recovery—not just preparedness—defines resilience. In 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused over $113B in damage. McBride is helping communities rebuild smarter, faster, and stronger by managing over $1B in FEMA Public Assistance funds. From establishing PMOs and interpreting FEMA guidance to leading strategic planning and risk reviews, McBride’s consultants are driving results that matter. Recovery isn’t about returning to normal—it’s about building toward what’s next.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Thought Leadership - Business, Baseball and Overcoming the Defensive Shift Part II - Adapting and Winning When the Rules of the Game Change</image:title>
      <image:caption>In late 2021 Alex Wright and Ryan Borowski took a deep dive into how the game of baseball can offer guidance in using the rules of a game (or lack thereof) to our advantage so smaller firms can beat larger ones, especially if those smaller firms are under-resourced. But what happens when the rules of the game change and advantages are taken away or the playing field is "leveled"? Alex and Ryan follow up on their piece to look at 3 critical things smaller teams and leadership can do to once again leverage the assets they do have and play to win.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Thought Leadership - Supersonic Transport and its Sustainability in the Future - How a Challenge-Ridden Technology Can Achieve Global Adoption</image:title>
      <image:caption>Transportation, apart from advanced logistics technology over the last 50 years, has remained mostly stagnant across the globe. The speed at which aircraft travel, for example, has mostly remained the same since the introduction of jet-powered engines in the late 1940s. In this article, we examine how the demands of today’s “want it now” world has changed things and why supersonic transport is a hot topic.</image:caption>
