What UK's Strategic Defense Review means for Ukraine
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on June 2 that the United Kingdom is moving to "warfighting readiness," in large part in response to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the threat Russia poses to Europe. He made the comment as his government unveiled its latest Strategic Defense Review, which U.K. General Richard Barrons, one of the review's authors, described as the "most profound" change in U.K. defense in 150 years. The review sets out ambitious new targets, including at least 12 new attack submarines, fleets of drones and autonomous vehicles, as well as 7,000 new long-range weapons. Yet it also comes with urgent warnings. The review reveals that the U.K.'s Armed Forces are currently unprepared to fight adversaries such as Russia or China, nor could they conduct high-intensity warfare in a war like that in Ukraine. Insufficient munition stockpiles, low troop numbers, and ageing equipment are just a few of the weaknesses underpinning its assessment. "The speed of development in Ukraine is so far ahead of what countries like the U.K. is capable of." But as well as committing to bolstering its own defense capabilities, the U.K. must also manage the commitments already made to Kyiv, which it has vowed to support with a "100-year partnership." The U.K. has been one of Kyiv's closest supporters since the start of the full-scale invasion, and the review reiterates long-term support for Ukraine, committing 3 billion pounds ($4.06 billion) annually in military aid. "The bottom line is that all of this is about defending the U.K. after the conflict moves on from Ukraine primarily," Keir Giles, a senior consulting fellow at Chatham House, a U.K.-based think tank, told the Kyiv Independent. "Whether it's positive, negative, or catastrophic, either way, that's when the U.K. and its allies need to be ready for Russia's next move." The U.K. wants to create a more flexible procurement process, as demonstrated by that developed by Ukraine throughout the full-scale invasion, a dynamic it says would be vital should the U.K. deploy troops in support of a ceasefire. The review urges deeper defense industrial collaboration, including joint ventures and helping Ukraine access global markets, as well as rebuilding and sustaining its defense sector. This could include helping Ukraine service Soviet-era equipment still used abroad. The U.K. also aims to learn from Ukraine's experience in modern warfare, particularly in land combat, drones, and hybrid threats. However, the review highlights challenges — U.K. stockpiles of weapons such as Storm Shadow long-range missiles have been depleted through its support to Ukraine, and years of underinvestment have weakened domestic defense capacity. The U.K. has announced that it will build six new munition factories. This indicates a significant attempt to address one of the key criticisms of European defense, which is its lack of industrial base and reliance on U.S. support. While U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey has said that "we should expect to see new factories opening very soon," it is not clear how quickly this will translate into meaningful battlefield assistance for Ukraine's Armed Forces. "The speed of development in Ukraine is so far ahead of what countries like the U.K. are capable of, the best-case outcome for Ukraine would just be sending the money there to build stuff," Giles said. When asked how Ukraine could be best supported outside of the recommendations in the review, Giles said the "maximum support" should be given to Ukraine, without the hesitancy about doing damage to Russia."

Burger chain Checkers expanding to Massachusetts with Worcester location
A burger chain has chosen Worcester as the site for its first restaurant in New England. Checkers, a Tampa-based chain with more than 700 locations throughout the United States, will open a new location at 99 Gold Star Blvd., according to a press release from the real estate firm Kelleher & Sadowsky Associates. The Worcester restaurant will replace Honey Dew Donuts, which closed in March. The Worcester Checkers will be run by Mouhamad Saleem and Kelly Moughal, who own and operate other Checkers locations in New York and Subway and Little Caesars locations in Worcester, according to the press release. Brokers Mark Johns and Thomas Bodden completed the transaction for the new lease on behalf of the building's landlord, according to the firm's press release. The brokers do not know when the restaurant will open, a spokesperson for the firm told MassLive on Monday. Checkers and Rally's did not immediately respond to MassLive's request for comment on Monday. Checkers, along with its sister restaurant Rally's, has no locations in Massachusetts or New England, according to the company's website. The closest state with a Checkers or Rally's is New York, with 32 restaurants. There are a total of 751 Checkers and Rally's restaurants in the country, per its website. Menu items served at both restaurants include burgers, french fries, hot dogs, chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, fried fish sandwiches, slushies and milkshakes.

13 Big Hunches On AI And Consultants
The Scream', 1893. The Scream is one of four versions painted by Edward Munch in 1893. The ghostly, ... More agonised figure against the background of a red sunset is one of the most well known images in the world of art - a symbol of despair and alienation. From the Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo. Artist Edvard Munch. (Photo by Art Media/The) Nathaniel Whittemore has some thoughts about consulting in the AI era. For those who might not know, Whittemore is the intrepid host of AI Daily Brief, a podcast I tend to pay attention to as we move through a profound technological shift that has most of us looking for answers. In a rare episode of the podcast where he acknowledged being on the road, Whittemore went through his own LinkedIn post about consulting companies, to glean some predictions and insights (13 of them) on how these firms will work as AI continues to take hold. Chunks of legal and accounting work, he suggested, will get sent to AI (that's #1) calling them 'total bye-byes.' Consulting, he said, will 'distill' things into a targeted set of realities around AI. He described a kind of musical chairs (that's #2) where companies will move into other market areas, big firms to mid-market, etc. as the change happens. As for the displacement of humans, Whittemore spoke to a demand for external validation that, he suggested, will keep the HITL (human in the loop) in play. Enterprises will divide into two categories, either slicing headcount, or use a 'flexible roster' of partners, consultants and fellow travelers. 'Personally, I'm pretty inclined towards smaller, more liberal organizations powered by a flexible roster of partners and consultants,' he said, 'because I think it aligns also with people's (takes) on their professional services, figuring out how far they can take it with AI.' Then there's Whittemore's theorization of new products and new lines of business, as well as 'new practices' (that's #4 on the list, read the list for the others.) His caveat: these predictions are 'ridiculously generic' and nobody really knows what the future holds. 'I think the way that this plays out is going to be pretty enterprise by enterprise,' he said. In the second half of the podcast, he suggested that business people are going to be 'Jerry Macguiring,' where they start to have a different picture of enterprise value. He talked about small teams of consultants managing large swarming agents as a 'default model' and suggested that 'pricing experiments' are going to become common. Buyers, he concluded, are going to prioritize intangibles. Here's another of Whittemore's points: people want to work with people who they like working with, or, in the parlance of his list, 'j𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗘𝗤𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀.' (That's #10). More from Whittemore: the value of prototyping, a prediction of companies operating in what he called 'iteration-land,' and an advantage to parties who can build frameworks for the AI future. 'Continuous iteration requires data measurement, analytics, and systems,' he said, 'to make sense of it all: I think these are table stakes aspects of engagements, now that consultants and professional services firms just have to build in an understanding and an expectation of how they're going to measure their impact.' There's a lot of insight here, and if you want to go back and read the whole thing over again, I wouldn't blame you. Whittemore goes over a lot of his analysis at lightning speed. But you do see certain things crop up time and time again – The idea that rapid change is going to shake out in certain ways, and that companies and people need to pivot as our AI revolution keeps heating up.
