About
Experience from different fields becomes the basis for working together.
The substance of our work
Members combine professional experience to examine complex management questions from several perspectives. Joint work includes expert discussion, analysis and the development of initiatives.
Nexus brings together business owners, executives, investors and experts to work on management and investment challenges.
Founder and chair
Oleg Nikitin
Nexus grew from professional dialogue between people with experience in management, business and finance. The first meetings were initiated by Oleg Nikitin, the association’s founder and chair.
How the association developed
Cases, 2020–2026
Transition to remote work
The case covered handing off tasks after offices closed, recording decisions, reporting delays and identifying processes that needed daily coordination.
Liquidity during a fall in demand
The discussion examined how falling revenue and late payments affect cash balances, which payments take priority and when to revisit the budget.
Hybrid work policies
The case compared shared office days with team schedules. It examined which tasks benefit from meeting in person and how to assess delivery times, quality and availability.
Component shortages
The case examined which missing parts could halt production. It compared lead times, substitutes and storage costs to decide which items need safety stock and when to reorder.
Rethinking logistics
The review compared routes by cost, lead time and transfer delays. It considered how longer journeys affect inventory and when a more expensive route helps meet customer commitments.
Rising energy costs
The case compared rescheduling energy-intensive work with reducing losses. It considered potential savings, implementation costs and effects on output.
Higher financing costs
The discussion examined how rising rates affect borrowing costs and payback. It compared a full launch, phased funding and postponement, considering whether projects could absorb higher debt costs.
Generative AI at work
The discussion considered drafting and summarising documents for a trial. It examined fact-checking, editing time and confidential data, including where staff review would be required.
Disruption to shipping routes
The case examined how longer transit affects stock and orders. It compared adding time buffers, holding extra inventory and rerouting part of a shipment by cost and risk to customers.
Digital supplier outage
The case identified operations that would stop during an outage. It covered who notifies teams, temporary workarounds, recovery priorities and who confirms the service is ready.
Trade tariff uncertainty
The case examined how tariffs affect total procurement costs. It compared renegotiating prices, changing suppliers and adjusting order sizes, and considered contract terms for reviewing prices.
Return on enterprise AI
The review compared licensing, setup and review costs with time saved on a specific task. It considered how corrections and output quality should inform a decision to expand the pilot.
Supply chain resilience review
The review identified critical suppliers and routes and where delays could affect several operations. It considered which shipments could be rerouted and produced a dependency map and shortlist of backup routes.
Demand scenarios
The session considered how to distinguish a temporary dip in demand from a sustained shift. It examined order trends and inventory to decide when to revisit purchasing and staffing. The group prepared three scenarios and a list of early indicators.
Industrial AI pilot preparation
The review considered which production-line defects AI could detect and what data would be needed to evaluate it. It covered missed defects and false positives. Defect detection was selected for the pilot and baseline quality metrics were defined.
Working principles
Substance
Discussion starts with a specific question and available information.
Different expertise
Questions are viewed from management, financial, operational and other professional angles.
Responsibility
Conclusions and options for action are separated from assumptions and promises.
