In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Syed Haseeb Hassan, Automotive- und E-Mobility-Berater bei eTechvolution. Haseeb hat mehr als zehn Jahre Erfahrung in der Automobilbranche, war unter anderem bei Schaeffler und ABB tätig und analysiert heute auf LinkedIn regelmäßig, wie sich Elektromobilität weltweit entwickelt. Sein Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Vergleich zwischen China und Europa - und genau das macht unsere Unterhaltung so interessant. Haseeb war kurz vor dieser Aufnahme auf der Auto Show in China, hat sich Peking, Shenzhen und Chengdu angeschaut und bringt konkrete Beobachtungen mit. Eine davon: In Shenzhen gibt es seit 2015 faktisch keine freien Verbrenner-Kennzeichen mehr. Wer eines will, zahlt heute umgerechnet mehrere Tausend Euro. Ein E-Auto-Kennzeichen dagegen ist kostenlos und sofort verfügbar. Kombiniert mit staatlich kontrollierten Strompreisen hat das eine Dynamik in Gang gesetzt, die China beim Thema Elektromobilität in eine andere Liga gebracht hat. Beim Laden zeigt sich ein ähnliches Bild - nur mit überraschenden Details. Während in Deutschland 300- bis 400-kW-Schnelllader als Standard gelten, dominieren in China noch immer Ladepunkte mit 30 bis 120 kW. Der Ausbau passierte schnell und pragmatisch, ohne große Regularien. Gleichzeitig laden chinesische Serienfahrzeuge wie das Denza-Modell schon heute mit bis zu 1100 kW - was hierzulande noch als Prototypen-Meilenstein gilt. Wir sprechen außerdem darüber, was der Einstieg chinesischer Ladeinfrastrukturanbieter wie X-Charge in Europa bedeutet. Haseeb sieht das als gesunden Wettbewerb - und erklärt, warum europäische Hersteller wie Alpitronic oder ABB den Preiskampf weder gewinnen können noch führen sollten. Ihr Vorteil liegt bei Service, Zuverlässigkeit und Total Cost of Ownership über viele Jahre. Und dann ist da noch die Preistransparenz. Deutschland hat mehr als 200.000 öffentliche Ladepunkte - rein quantitativ kein schlechter Wert. Aber je nach Karte oder App kann derselbe Ladepunkt beinahe doppelt so viel kosten. In China lag der Unterschied zwischen Abo- und Normaltarif bei einem Anbieter bei acht Prozent. Das ist der Maßstab, an dem wir uns messen lassen müssen. Eine zweite Folge ist bereits geplant - mit tieferem Blick auf Preismodelle und einem Vergleich mit dem US-Markt.

This episode of 50 Shades of Green takes you straight into the heat — literally and figuratively — of London Climate Action Week. Hosts Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran unpack a timely, wide‑ranging discussion hosted by Climate Group on energy efficiency, electrification, cooling, finance and the role of technology in closing the gap between climate ambition and execution. From sweaty conference rooms in London to the bigger picture of global climate weeks, this special edition weaves practical solutions with policy and market realities.With some introductory framing from Mike Umiker - Managing Director, Energy Efficiency Movement, Climate Group's Mike Peirce introduces a powerhouse panel: Erika Gupta (Siemens Financial Services), Ana Troncoso (ABB), Emma Harvey‑Smith (Green Finance Institute) and Chris Skidmore (Climate Action Coalition; former UK Energy and Clean Growth Minister). Together they interrogate why, despite clear economics and existing technologies, energy efficiency remains underfunded and fragmented. Topics include the critical role of efficiency as “the first fuel,” the challenges of scaling retrofit projects, and innovative financing models like energy efficiency as a service, retrofit-as-a-service, and property‑linked finance (PACE) that spread costs and align benefits over time.The conversation zeroes in on cooling: rising air‑conditioning demand, public health impacts of extreme heat, and the uncomfortable tradeoffs between keeping people safe and avoiding runaway electricity demand. Panelists highlight solutions that don't rely on brute‑force AC expansion: smarter HVAC controls, motor-driven system optimization, thermal and electrical storage, load‑smoothing strategies, and liquid cooling for data centers. The discussion also explores how electrification must be “efficient electrification” to avoid overwhelming grids and lock in costly infrastructure.Finance and policy emerge as pivotal themes. The guests explain why aggregation, standardized project pipelines, fit‑for‑purpose data and mandates are necessary to mobilize institutional capital. Real‑world case studies — from university decarbonization partnerships to large industrial motor replacements — demonstrate that when projects are designed at scale, paybacks shorten and impact multiplies. The episode spotlights the Global Property‑Linked Finance Initiative and practical routes to unlock capital for retrofits.Technology and AI are presented as double‑edged tools: powerful enablers of optimization, digital twinning and demand management, but also potential sources of inefficiency if misused. The panel calls for responsible, targeted AI deployment to drive measurable efficiency gains and for broader consumer education so households and businesses seize the right opportunities at the right moments (mortgage renewals, retrofits, tech upgrades).Warm, candid and solution‑focused, this episode is for policymakers, investors, technologists and anyone frustrated by the slow pace of implementation. Listen for pragmatic ideas on scaling energy efficiency, financing the retrofit revolution, making cooling sustainable, and turning climate ambition into measurable action — before the next heatwave.Siemens and ABB are members of Climate Group's Smart Energy Coalition, for more information contact smartenergycoalition@climategroup.org or visit: https://www.theclimategroup.org/smart-energy Hosted on Acast.

Sales enablement often fails because companies ask sales teams to sell software using a system designed for hardware. In this episode of the B2B Sales Trends Podcast, Harry sits down with Juha Mirsch, Global Sales Enablement Lead for ABB's Digital Portfolio, to explore why digital transformation stalls, why software sales require a different approach to customer conversations, and how leaders can redesign sales enablement without building a separate sales force. Juha explains why this isn't a motivation problem but a design problem. He shares the frameworks ABB uses to build seller confidence, coach real opportunities instead of delivering one off training, and create lasting behaviour change that leads to stronger customer relationships and recurring revenue.
1. O gün, oruç tutulacak; fakat Muharrem'in sâdece onuncu günü oruç tutulmaz. (9.-10.), (10.-11.). Hz. Sâmî (k.s.) (9.-10.-11.) günleri tutmanın, en fazîletlisi olduğunu beyân buyurmuşlardır. 2. Muharrem'in birinci ilâ onuncu günü de dâhil her gün okunan duâ, sabahleyin üç def‘a okunur. 3. İşrâkten sonra (kuşluk vakti) dört (4) rek‘at namâz kılınır. Her rek‘atte Fâtihayı Şerîfe'den sonra elli bir (51) adet İhlâs-ı Şerîf okunur. 4. Mekrûh olmayan bir vakitte 2 rek‘at namâz kılınır. Her rek‘atte Fâtihayı Şerîfe'den sonra on bir (11) İhlâs-ı Şerîf okunur. 5. Bol bol istiğfâr edilir. 6. 70 (yetmiş) def‘a “hasbünâ'llâhu ve ni'me'l-vekîl, ve ni'me'lmevlâ ve ni'me'n-nasîr, gufrâneke rabbenâ ve ileyke'l-masîr” denilir. 7. 313 (üç yüz on üç) def‘a “lâ-ilâhe illâ ente sübhâneke innî küntü mine'z-zâlimîn” denilir. 8. Gusl abdesti alınır. 9. On mü'mine selâm verilir. 10. Hasta bir kimse ziyâret edilir. 11. En az bir mü'mine iftâr ettirilir ki bütün mü'minlere iftâr ettirilmiş gibi olunur. 12. O gün eve getirilen rızık artırılacak. En faziletlisi on çeşit olmasıdır. 13. Muharrem'in 10'unu, 11'ine bağlayan gece, bir def‘a Zümer sûresi okunur. Meymûn bin Mihrân'ın İbn-i Abbâs (r.a.)'den bildirdiği Hadîs-i Şerîf'te: “Aşûre günü oruç tutana, on bin melek sevâbı verilir. Muharrem'in Aşûre gününü oruç tutana on bin şehid, on bin hac ve umre sevâbı verilir. Muharremin onuncu günü olan Aşûre gününde bir yetimin başını okşayana, Allâhü Teâlâ o yetimin başındaki kıllar kadar Cennet'te derece verir. Aşûre gecesi bir mü'mine iftar verene, Allâhü Teâlâ katında bütün Ümmet-i Muhammed'e iftar vermiş ve karınlarını doyurmuş gibi sevâb yazılır” buyuruldu. (Ruhul Beyân, c.4, s.83) (Abdulkâdir Geylânî (k.s.), Gunyetü't-Tâlibîn, s.352)

İbn-i Abbâs (r.a)'in bildirdiği hadîs-i şerîfte: “Zilhicce'nin sonuncu günü ile Muharrem'in birinci günü oruç tutan, geçmiş yılı oruçla bitirip, yeni yıla oruçla başlamış olur. Allâhü Teâlâ o orucu onun elli yıllık günâhına keffâret eder” buyurulmuştur. Peygamberimiz (s.a.v.): “Ramazan orucundan sonra en fazîletli oruç, Allâh'ın ayı olan Muharrem'de tutulan oruçtur. (Belâzurî, Ensâbu'l-Eşrâf, c.1, s.266) “Allâh (c.c.)'un, Aşûre günü orucunu ondan önceki yılın günâhlarına keffaret kılacağını umarım” buyurdu. (Beyhakî, Delâilü'n-Nübüvve, c.2, s.530) Hz. Ali (r.a.) der ki: “Peygamber (s.a.v.)'e bir adam gelip: “Yâ Resûlullâh! Ramazan ayından sonra hangi ay oruç tutmamı bana emredersin?” diye sordu. Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) ona: “Ramazan ayından sonra oruç tutacaksan, Muharrem ayını tut! Çünkü o, Allâh (c.c.)'un ayıdır. O ayda öyle bir gün vardır ki, Allâh (c.c.) o günde bir kavmin tevbelerini kabul etmiştir ve o günde başka bir kavmin de tevbelerini kabul edecektir!” buyurdu. Resûlullâh (s.a.v.) buyurdu ki: “Muharrem ayında bir gün oruç tutana, bu gününe karşılık otuz gün oruç sevâbı yazılır.” (Gunye) (Abdulkâdir Geylânî (k.s.), Gunyetü't-Tâlibîn, s.352-356) HİCRÎ SENENİN SON GECESİ OKUNACAK DUÂ Bi-smi'llâhi'r-rahmâni'r-rahîm Ve sallallâhü ‘alâ seyyidinâ Muhammedin ve âlihî ve sahbihî ve sellem.

Näringslivsprofilen om energikrisen, behovet av en energiöverenskommelse, EU:s relation till USA och Kina och generationsskiftet i familjen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Jacob Wallenberg är styrelseordförande i Wallenbergsfärens investmentbolag Investor, som i sin tur är delägare i flera svenska storbolag som Saab, Electrolux, Atlas Copco, ABB och SEB. Sedan 2022 är Jacob Wallenberg också ordförande för arbetsgivarorganisationen Svenskt Näringsliv. ”Risk att man sätter sig på händerna”Kriget i Iran och blockaden av Hormuzsundet har lett till en global energikris. För näringslivet innebär det mer ovisshet, vilket gör det svårare att fatta långsiktiga beslut – och osäkerheten sträcker sig bortom kriget i Iran, säger Jacob Wallenberg. ”På en högre nivå har vi ju en geopolitisk situation med friktion mellan USA och Kina, ett EU som letar sin roll i det här sammanhanget. Vi kommer från en era av globalisering när vi skulle ut och resa i världen och företag skulle resa över gränser, nya marknader, tillväxt, till en situation med ökad protektionism och tullar, som vi ofta talar om. Sammantaget så betyder det här att vi går ifrån en tid när man visste ungefär hur saker och ting fungerade, förutsägbarhet, till en tid när det är stor oförutsägbarhet och det är svårt att fatta långsiktiga beslut”, säger Jacob Wallenberg. Ja, men det måste man ju ändå göra som företagsledare?”Precis så är det, men det betyder trots allt en risk för att man sätter sig på händerna och avvaktar och tittar. Det är väl det som oroar mig mest. Vi är inne i en era som är mer svårbearbetad för företagare och för individer i stort”, säger Jacob Wallenberg. Ny relation till USA och KinaI det nya geopolitiska läget menar Jacob Wallenberg att EU behöver förändra relationen till Kina och USA:”Det viktiga är att EU mejslar ut en ny strategi i sitt förhållande till USA. Det ska vara en djup relation, men vi måste stå upp raka i ryggen och stå för våra värderingar, etc. Samma sak vad gäller Kina. Där har vi historiskt stått lite i skuggan av USA och gjort ganska mycket som de har gjort. Det tycker jag uppenbarligen inte att vi ska göra idag utan vi måste mejsla ut våra egna tankar i och kring relationen med Kina. Så att EU har väldigt hög grad att, inom citationstecken, ännu mer ta hand om sig själv” säger Jacob Wallenberg. Efterlyser energiöverenskommelse I sin egenskap av ordförande för Svenskt Näringsliv har Jacob Wallenberg tillsammans med organisationens vd nyligen skrivit en debattartikel i SvD med en önskelista på vad nästa regering behöver göra för att öka tillväxten i svensk ekonomi. Den första punkten är en politisk överenskommelse över blocken om stabil elförsörjning, för att näringslivet ska investera i ny kärnkraft. ”När man går in och satsar på det här så vill vi gärna se att näringslivet är engagerade, tar en del av risken, är med och investerar för att göra detta möjligt. Ur det perspektivet blir det här väldigt angeläget, att ju säkrare förutsättningar det finns att jobba med – läs politiken, politiska regler – ju lägre risk och större chans att man kommer att investera. Det är vi ute efter”, säger Jacob Wallenberg.När det gäller det blocköverskridande, statsministern brukar hävda att det redan finns en slags de facto-energiöverenskommelse politiskt i det att det fattats en rad beslut om kärnkraften som Socialdemokraterna är med på i stora delar. De politiska beslut i energifrågan som redan är fattade, räcker de?”Inriktningen är väldigt positiv, men de facto så har vi inte en bred överenskommelse idag. Jag hoppas att vi kommer att få det, men vi har det inte idag.”Vilken sorts politisk överenskommelse om energin krävs för att få till de där långsiktiga spelreglerna som ni efterlyser?”I grunden, och det har jag sagt tidigare, så handlar det om ett handslag mellan ledarna för respektive sida i den svenska politiken. Det är för mig trovärdigt”, säger Jacob Wallenberg. Regeringen har tagit fram en rad förslag som innebär att staten ska ta en större del av kostnaden och den ekonomiska risken för ny kärnkraft. I det kärnkraftsprojekt som kommit längst, planerna på nya reaktorer vid Ringhals, så ska staten tillsammans med det statliga energibolaget Vattenfall stå för 80 procent av ägandet och risken. Resterande 20 procent ska ett konsortium av privata företag stå för, där ingår även Wallenberg-bolag. Vad tycker Jacob Wallenberg om den balansen? ”Det är väl i alla fall en fantastiskt bra början att det finns privatkapital med där. Vilket då pekar på att det finns förutsättningar att driva detta på kommersiell basis och att det inte bara är staten som går in och tar hela risken. Jag ser det som väldigt positivt”, säger Jacob Wallenberg.Om uppluckrad klimatpolitik: ”Vore väldigt olyckligt”Nyligen investerade familjen Wallenberg i ståltillverkaren Stegra, ett av de stora men osäkra projekten i den svenska gröna omställningen.”Vi tror att grön omställning är nånting som efterfrågas av kunder. Vi upplever att du har ett moraliskt ansvar att tänka i de termerna. Vi tror att när du ska anställa unga människor så förväntar de sig att deras nya arbetsgivare har grönt i sin tanke. Det här är saker som vi tycker är grundläggande”, säger Jacob Wallenberg.Stegras affärsmodell bygger till stor del på EU:s utsläppshandelssystem, ETS, alltså att politiska beslut gör det så dyrt med utsläpp att det blir lönsamt med grönt stål. Det finns vissa tecken nu på att EU:s klimatpolitik rullas tillbaka, att beslutade tuffa klimatregler luckras upp. Hur ser du på den utvecklingen?”Jag tycker att det vore väldigt olyckligt. De så kallade ETS-reglerna, södra Europa vill backa, norra delen av Europa vill fortsätta. Många i norra Europa, många företag har redan investerat i teknologier som adresserar det här. Det skulle vara investeringar som inte går i hamn om ETS-reglerna skulle ändras. Jag tror på att vi måste gå åt det här hållet. Därför skulle jag inte önska att EU genomförde de här förändringarna”, säger Jacob Wallenberg. Generationsskifte i familjen WallenbergJacob Wallenberg ingår den femte generationen Wallenberg. Han har nyligen fyllt 70 år. Sedan i fjol har medlemmar ur nästa generation fått ledande positioner i familjens företag.”Det finns ett stort antal personer i nästa generation som utbildas, får sin egen arbetslivserfarenhet, etcetera. Några av dem har kommit in i mer centrala roller i styrelser etcetera. Det har gått bra. Jag hoppas att det ska fortsätta att gå bra”, säger Jacob Wallenberg. Är ambitionen att det i nästa generation ska bli lika tydligt som idag med tre, nu är det ju du, din bror Peter Wallenberg och din kusin Marcus Wallenberg?”Nej, det finns inget egenvärde i ett exakt antal. Men det är ganska uppenbart att det är ett stort ansvarsområde. Att vi kan vara tre den här gången istället för en eller två som det har varit historiskt ser vi som en stor styrka. Jag hoppas att det kommer att vara ännu fler i framtiden som har framträdande roller”, säger Jacob Wallenberg.

Abbaye Notre Dame de Timadeuc avec Père Benoit Briand (Père Abbé)
Most of the AI timeline debate happens in software. Benchmark scores, model releases, the shape of the capability curve. Jon Billow watches a different number for a living: lead times.Billow is on the leadership team at BNS, a firm that manufactures and installs electrical and communication infrastructure. The same critical power equipment his teams put into data centers also goes onto Navy and Coast Guard ships, more than 150 of them. He emailed John Sherman because he thinks the people forecasting AI's arrival are missing what he sees on the construction side every week. The buildout can only move as fast as its slowest part, and right now almost every part is backed up for years.That email is what got him on the show. Here is the heart of what he laid out.The constraint nobody prices inTo bring a large data center online, Billow says, a long list of things has to land at the same time: permitting, grid interconnect, critical power, cooling, and the compute itself. Miss one and the whole project waits. And nearly every item on that list carries a backlog measured in many months, sometimes years.The pinch point he keeps returning to is critical power equipment. According to Billow, the orders all funnel back to roughly five manufacturers, Eaton, ABB, Schneider, GE Vernova among them, and all of them are slammed. He notes that even the US government is having a hard time getting its allocation for ship programs, because it is standing in the same line as every hyperscaler. On top of that, more municipalities are now requiring data centers to bring their own behind-the-meter power generation, which adds another category of equipment backlog and a skill most operators have never needed before. Hooking up to the grid is one thing. Building gas turbines and finding electricians who can parallel generators is another, and the skilled trades are already stretched thin.A factor of five to sevenSherman pushed him to put a number on the gap. If a company says a project lands in a year, how far off is that really?Billow's read: the US has roughly 50 gigawatts of total data center capacity today, with about a quarter of it allocated to AI. Around five gigawatts are under active construction and another seven to twelve sit in backlog. Set that against the order-of-magnitude jumps the labs are talking about and his estimate is blunt. “If I was to be a betting man I would say it's in the order of five to seven years.” Whatever timeline you have been handed, in other words, multiply it.The tells from inside the labsHe pointed to two recent signals that the infrastructure is already the limiting factor. OpenAI walking back a large commitment tied to its Sora video product, which Billow reads as a company looking at finite compute and deciding where to spend it. And Anthropic delaying a model, which he attributes partly to security concerns and partly to the reality of constrained compute capacity. The software keeps leapfrogging. The ground underneath it does not move at the same speed.Why this could be good newsBillow does not frame any of this as a reason to relax. He frames it as time. If the physical buildout runs years behind the hype, that is runway to get governance and alignment right rather than scrambling after the fact. He drew the parallel Sherman's audience knows well, comparing the moment to how the world slowly built doctrine around nuclear risk, and argued the work now is to use the delay deliberately.His closing image stuck with us. He said he wants to tell his grandkids that we were building the car while it was going down the road at 55 miles an hour, but we had the presence of mind to put in seat belts because we knew who was in the back seat.Where they did not agreeThe conversation did not paper over the tension. Sherman described his time in Holly Ridge, Louisiana, a town of about 2,000 mostly elderly people living next to a data center he compared to the size of Manhattan, with construction dust in the air and water residents will not drink. He found it overwhelmingly sad. Billow sees the same structures differently, as a testament to human ingenuity that can be sited and built responsibly if we choose to. Both things sat in the room at once, and the episode is better for letting them.Going deeperWe pulled the headline argument into this piece.

“Activism” might be one of the less helpful terms in modern investing, a label that conjures everything from boardroom bust-ups, to terse exchanges between disgruntled shareholders and incumbent managements. However, in this conversation, Lars explains the early insights gained from collaborations with the great Carl Icahn, to building Cevian, and creating a long-term, extremely successful fund, investing in a small number of listed European and UK companies to help bring about significant, value-creating change. He explains the voyage from identification to ownership; from constructive engagement to taking a place on the board; to working to bring about change and improving the business' execution to driving improved shareholder returns through operational improvements. He contrasts their approach to that of private equity, discusses investing as they did to bring about change at ABB, to pondering on the question of “why more people don't do this?” The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by J.P. Morgan Asset Management*, IFM Investors, World Gold Council and LSEG.*During the episode we cite J.P. Morgan Asset Management as Europe's leading active ETF provider by assets under management.

With global electricity demand on the rise, the need for reliable power is becoming increasingly critical. Nuclear power is fast emerging as a critical part of this future infrastructure, with small modular reactors, or SMRs, gaining particular attention. Scalable, flexible and able to provide consistently high load factors, SMRs are emerging as an important technology for a reliable, low-carbon energy system. In this episode of Industry Optimized, host Fran Scott speaks to Jacob Stedman, CEO of Blykalla, and Elova Ryegard, Nuclear Expert, Energy Industries at ABB. Together they discuss what a low-carbon future might look like, how SMRs can complement both renewable and conventional nuclear energy sources and why they’re increasingly seen as a practical pathway to expanding low-carbon energy capacity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As coal and gas plants retire, the energy transition conversation focuses on replacing their generation capacity. What gets far less attention is the loss of the physical properties those machines provided for free: inertia that stabilises frequency, fault current that supports voltage during disturbances, and reactive power that regulates voltage across the network. These services come from the physics of enormous spinning rotors synchronised to the grid, responding instantaneously, without sensors, software or control loops. As inverter-based resources replace them, that mechanical immune system disappears, and a new, extreme stress test is arriving at the same time in the form of AI data centres whose loads can swing by hundreds of megawatts in a fraction of a second.Host Bridget van Dorsten is joined by Kristina Carlquist, General Manager of Synchronous Condensers at ABB, and Christian Payerl, Sales Manager of Synchronous Condensers at ABB, to unpack why a technology that has existed for as long as the grid itself is now experiencing a revival.Christian explains the three ancillary services the grid is losing, inertia, short-circuit current and reactive power, and why inverter-based generation does not replace them. Grid-forming batteries can be programmed to simulate inertia, but each charge-discharge cycle degrades lifetime, overload capacity is limited to microseconds, and the models needed for accurate grid simulation are often tied up in manufacturer IP. Synchronous condensers respond on physics alone, in both directions, with no degradation and no modelling uncertainty. The recent blackout in Spain illustrates what happens when that gap is left unfilled.Kristina walks through the commercial traction. ABB's partnership with VoltaGrid on isolated data center microgrids has grown from an unexpected inbound enquiry in late 2024 to dozens of synchronous condensers delivered. On the grid-connected side, the Faroe Islands have deployed four units with a fifth on the way as part of their push toward 100% renewables, already achieving multi-day periods of fully renewable operation. ABB is also working with Korea's Jeju Island on its first flywheel-equipped deployment. The demand pattern is widening: islands integrating renewables, TSOs managing weak grid regions, mines electrifying operations, and now data centre developers who had never considered grid stability equipment before.The episode closes on regulation and standards. Christian, who participates in international standards work through CIGRE, notes that there is still no international standard for flywheel safety and that the treatment of inertia as a paid service varies dramatically by country. While inertia is compensated as a paid service in the UK, in Sweden it is treated as free – rotating machines providing it receive no income stream for doing so. As data center load grows faster than regulation can respond, both guests argue that the answer is not one technology but a combination, provided the industry, utilities and policymakers can align on what the grid actually needs to remain stable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The rush to capitalize on agentic capabilities is in full swing in enterprise, but there is caution in operational settings, like industrial control systems. Getting to autonomy in these environments requires a greater consideration in design and implementation and Cody Falcon of ABB joins host Eric Hanselman to continue a conversation that started at CERAWeek to explore the many aspects that should be in consideration. Risk is, of course, much greater in physical systems and AI requires more complex guardrails to manage it. But the greater challenge is in building trust. AI's ability to handle scope and scale can be tremendously valuable in control systems and the ready availability of telemetry and operational data give implementations a solid base to work from. The journey to autonomy is one that has to be built on proven successes. As with any new employee, agents will need to build trust.

Sophie Neate, Global Head of Digital Marketing and Content at ABB Electrification, explores how one of the world's leading technology companies balances precision account-based marketing with scalable campaign execution across more than 100 countries. Sophie brings a wealth of experience navigating complex, industrial buying cycles where purchase decisions involve multiple stakeholders and can stretch beyond a year. Her team has built a sophisticated marketing technology ecosystem, powered by tools such as Pardot, Demandbase, and Salesforce, that enables data-driven decision-making at every stage of the buyer's journey. She shares how ABB Electrification structures its campaigns around a clear three-phase funnel, awareness, consideration, and nurturing, while evolving toward a hybrid model that pairs account-based marketing precision with broader cross-functional campaign reach. The conversation goes deep into ABB's bold shift from marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) to marketing-qualified accounts (MQAs), including the nerve-wracking decision to remove personal email addresses from contact forms, a move that improved lead quality by 33 percent. Sophie explains how her team localizes content at scale using in-house AI tools, translation services, and marketing kits that empower regional teams to adapt global messaging without sacrificing brand consistency. What You'll Hear: • How ABB Electrification structures campaigns around a three-phase funnel (awareness, consideration, nurturing) with distinct teams and KPIs for each stage • Why shifting from marketing-qualified leads to marketing-qualified accounts can dramatically improve lead quality and sales alignment • How removing personal email addresses from contact forms increased lead quality by 33 percent and reduced competitor noise • The hybrid model that combines account-based marketing precision for strategic accounts with traditional cross-functional campaigns for broader market reach • How to localize content at scale across 100-plus countries using in-house AI, translation services, and flexible marketing kits • Why 80 percent of buyers research before visiting a company website, and how that shapes the decision to gate or ungate content

Rooted in a triliteral system, Aramaic names often encode theological claims about God's character and His relation to humanity. For example, יֵשׁוּעַ (Yešūaʿ) derives from the root ישׁע (y-š-ʿ), meaning “to save,” so the name itself proclaims salvation as an active, embodied reality rather than a distant doctrine. Similarly, שִׁמְעוֹן (Šimʿōn)—“he has heard”—reflects a theology in which God is responsive and attentive, embedding divine listening into personal identity. The name מַרְיָם (Maryam), often linked with “bitterness” or “rebellion,” carries the tension of suffering transformed into purpose, a recurring theological motif in Semitic thought. Even divine titles such as אַבָּא (ʾAbbāʾ) reshape theology: rather than a formal “father,” the term conveys immediacy, intimacy, and relational nearness, collapsing hierarchical distance. Thus, in Aramaic, to speak a name is to invoke a theology each utterance becomes a micro-confession, where identity, destiny, and divine action are inseparably intertwined. for more online courses check this link: https://www.twinsbiblicalacademy.com/paid-courses
Junaid Shaikh: Product Owner Anti-Patterns, From Team Owner to Product Owner, And The PO Who Got It Right Junaid opens with a line that cuts straight to the most common PO anti-pattern: "You are the product owner, not the team owner." When he sees a PO slipping into command-and-control mode, he asks them one question: "What is your role?" They say "Product Owner." He says: "Exactly. You own the product, not the team. If you were meant to own the team, we'd call you a project manager." The worst case he witnessed: a PO who was so possessive of "his" team that he required approval on everything — processes, tools, even holiday requests. In sprint planning, he would assign stories to individual team members ("Mr. X, you take this one"). He'd estimate the work himself, and when developers pushed back, he'd override them: "I was a developer, I know how long this takes." For approaching PO anti-patterns, Junaid has a deliberate style: he doesn't confront upfront. He observes, takes notes, and starts by solving a smaller impediment to demonstrate he's there to help. Once trust is built, he brings in coaching tools — first teaching the basics ("this is what the PO role is in Scrum"), then gradually coaching on specific anti-patterns observed in practice. He targets 10-15% improvement at a time. Six months later, you've already achieved 30-40% improvement. The best PO Junaid has worked with had four qualities: clear, concise communication; an open mindset willing to be coached; courage to say "no" when needed; and the discipline to define the "what" and leave the "how" to the team. This PO started with five sources of truth — Excel tabs, whiteboards, JIRA, and other tools. When Junaid pointed out that five sources of truth is the opposite of transparency (one of Scrum's three pillars), the PO asked for help. Junaid's response: "I can't do the push-ups for you." Together, they consolidated everything into one tool. The team was happier, and the PO managed the backlog much better. The key lesson: great product owners trust their team, communicate clearly, prioritize ruthlessly, and have the courage to say no. And they don't try to own the team.

Todos sabemos dónde está el golfo Pérsico, un mar semicerrado en Oriente Medio entre Irán al norte y una serie de emiratos árabes al sur. Su rasgo más distintivo es el estrecho de Ormuz, un paso de apenas 50 kilómetros que constituye la única salida al océano. Por su ubicación geográfica y, más recientemente, por sus recursos naturales siempre ha sido una zona de gran importancia estratégica. Sus aguas son poco profundas, extremadamente cálidas y muy saladas, condiciones que favorecieron la pesca de perlas, principal fuente de riqueza de sus comunidades costeras durante siglos. Desde la antigüedad, el golfo fue ruta esencial del comercio entre Mesopotamia, la India y África. Los portugueses llegaron a principios del siglo XVI buscando controlar ese mismo tráfico. Alfonso de Albuquerque conquistó Ormuz en 1515 y estableció una red de fortalezas costeras, algunas importantes como las de Mascate y Baréin. Pero Portugal era un pequeño reino que no podía mantener un imperio tan disperso. En 1622 una alianza entre el sha persa Abbás I y la Compañía Inglesa de las Indias Orientales expulsó a los portugueses de Ormuz. A a mediados del siglo XVII habían perdido ya todas sus factorías en el golfo. Los otomanos también intentaron proyectar su poder desde Basora, pero nunca lograron contar con presencia naval ya que su centro de gravedad era el Mediterráneo, no el Índico. El verdadero rival de los otomanos fue siempre la Persia safávida, con quien se disputaron fronteras e influencia durante más de dos siglos. A lo largo del siglo XVII ingleses y holandeses compitieron por los mercados del Pérsico, aunque los holandeses se retiraron pronto ya que sus posesiones en el sudeste asiático eran mucho más rentables. En el siglo XIX el Reino Unido se convirtió en la potencia hegemónica indiscutible. Mediante tratados de protección con los jeques locales, la Royal Navy transformó el golfo Pérsico en un lago británico: Kuwait, Baréin, Catar y los Estados de la Tregua (lo que hoy son los Emiratos Árabes Unidos) quedaron bajo su tutela. Estos acuerdos, que congelaron fronteras y legitimaron ciertas dinastías, sentaron las bases de los Estados que hoy conocemos. El verdadero punto de inflexión llegó con el petróleo. Tras el primer gran descubrimiento en Persia en 1908, los hallazgos se sucedieron por todos los territorios ribereños: Irak, Baréin, Arabia Saudita, Kuwait, Catar y los Emiratos. Pequeñas comunidades que vivían de las perlas y los dátiles se convirtieron en las más ricas del mundo. La fundación de la OPEP en 1960 y las nacionalizaciones de los años 70 trasladaron el control del crudo a los Estados productores. El embargo de 1973 reveló al mundo entero el enorme poder que esa riqueza les confería. Cuando los británicos se retiraron en 1971, Estados Unidos asumió el papel de garante de la seguridad local, algo que no ha abandonado desde entonces. Las últimas décadas han traído guerras y una gran transformación económica. Ciudades como Dubái o Doha son hoy prósperas metrópolis. La población de sus costas ha pasado de unos 700.000 habitantes a principios del siglo pasado a los 40 millones de la actualidad. El golfo Pérsico sigue siendo una zona en tensión permanente. El estrecho de Ormuz es su talón de Aquiles y el petróleo su razón de ser. Eso sí, todos los Estados que comparten sus costas saben que esa fuente de riqueza tiene fecha de caducidad.

Junaid Shaikh: How Scrum Masters Can Measure Their Own Impact, Practical Self-Assessment Metrics Junaid's favorite retrospective format? The vanilla: what went well, what could have gone better, what to do better next. He's tried many formats — the Three L's (liked, learned, lacked), the Three Little Pigs, the sailboat — but the core principle is always the same. His practical advice: stick with a consistent format so the team gets better at the process itself rather than constantly adjusting to new concepts. One addition he insists on for any format: an appreciation component. In the rush to analyze processes and outcomes, teams often skip acknowledging how another team member, PO, or Scrum Master helped during the sprint. That appreciation builds trust, respect, and openness that feeds into subsequent sprints. On defining success as a Scrum Master, Junaid starts with a Peter Drucker quote: "You cannot improve something you cannot measure." He proposes several practical self-assessment metrics: First, the Agile Team Maturity Index — a spider graph that shows where the team stands across multiple criteria, making gaps visible and actionable. Second, track retrospective action items. Create tiger teams for specific issues, run small iterative experiments, and measure in the next retrospective whether the trend is improving. Third, watch for shared sprint goals. Junaid once saw a team with nine sprint goals for a two-week sprint — those weren't goals, they were individual tasks. A real sprint goal should be something multiple team members work together to achieve. Fourth, self-organizing teams. If the team falls apart when the Scrum Master is absent for a sprint, there's a problem. Coach teams to self-organize, and their ability to function independently becomes a success metric. Fifth, communication patterns. Too many emails flying around can signal hidden conflicts or trust barriers. If communication happens through the right channels — dailies, direct interactions — you're likely in good shape. Sixth, Scrum event health. If events get canceled too frequently, the team may be reverting to traditional ways of working. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Junaid Shaikh: Managing Uncertainty As A Scrum Master, How Scrum's Rhythm Creates Stability In Unstable Times For this week's coaching conversation, Junaid brings a challenge that resonates well beyond any single team: dealing with uncertainty. He references the World Uncertainty Index report from February 2026, which showed the highest levels of global uncertainty ever recorded — surpassing both the COVID pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This uncertainty doesn't stay at the geopolitical level. It seeps into teams. People show up stressed, unsure about what the next month or three months will bring. As Scrum Masters, we need to be cognizant of where our team members are coming from. Vasco adds an important layer: uncertainty operates at multiple levels within organizations. A colleague you depend on might be out sick for two weeks. A supplier might not deliver on time. Every dependency is a source of uncertainty. The question becomes: what in our processes is designed to accept and adapt to that uncertainty? Junaid's answer is powerful in its simplicity: Scrum's rhythm. The sprint, the planning, the daily, the retrospective — these events at a defined cadence create internal predictability. "When you have a rhythm, when you have a known sequence of events in front of you, that takes away a lot of uncertainty." Vasco builds on this: Scrum creates a boundary — the sprint — that accepts uncertainty outside while reducing it inside. Internal versus external predictability. Inside the sprint, the team can fail in small ways without exposing every failure to the outside. Compare that with traditional project planning, where every task on the critical path has external visibility and impact. For practical tools, Junaid shares how he used the Eisenhower matrix with a team to convert uncertainty into actionable priorities. They listed all activities from recent sprints, plotted them on the matrix, and found they could delegate or deprioritize 20-25% of their work. That freed them to focus with certainty on the remaining 75%. Combined with timeboxing as an uncertainty management mechanism, teams can create pockets of predictability even in turbulent times.

Junaid Shaikh: Why Teams Go Through The Motions of Agile Without Being Agile, And What To Do About It Junaid's book recommendation is The Culture Map by Erin Meyer. As a Scrum Master working at companies like Ericsson and ABB — organizations that are a "United Nations" of cultures — understanding cultural tendencies has been essential. But Junaid goes further: you can customize the Culture Map framework even within a team of people from the same country, using the parameters to map different personalities. It's about how you use the tool, not just where people come from. He also recommends Scrum Mastery: From Good to Great Servant Leadership by Geoff Watts for practical advice on the servant leadership role, and regularly visits Scrum Alliance and Scrum.org for real-world insights from the community. On the topic of teams that self-destruct, Junaid paints a picture that many listeners will recognize. He picked up a team's retrospective history and cumulative flow diagrams and found problems at every level: managers who declared "from tomorrow we're going agile" without understanding what that meant, then started comparing velocity across teams. Product owners who took PO training but reverted to command-and-control project management. A previous Scrum Master doing what Junaid calls "zombie Scrum" — implementing the framework mechanically without understanding its purpose. The pattern underneath it all: people enveloping their traditional mindset under an agile umbrella. The ceremonies happen, the daily standups run, but nobody is questioning why they're doing any of it. As Vasco observes, this zombie pattern isn't limited to Scrum — it happens with code reviews, architecture reviews, any process that gets adopted without critical thinking about its purpose. Junaid's insight: if you don't understand the basics with the right mindset, every event feels like overhead. Teams complain about "too many meetings" because they're running agile ceremonies on top of their old informal processes. "If you don't get out of your previous shell, you cannot get into a new shell." [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Junaid Shaikh: The Eager Scrum Master Trap, Why Proposing Solutions Too Early Can Backfire In this episode, Junaid shares a story from his early days as a Scrum Master when enthusiasm got ahead of experience. Fresh from a CSM certification and full of ideas, he walked into teams and started proposing solutions — "No, this is not how you should do it." It felt obvious. It wasn't. The wake-up call came when he proposed working agreements to a team that had been collaborating well for two years. The pushback was immediate: "Why do we need this?" He realized he was bringing a tool he'd seen elsewhere without first understanding whether the team actually had the problem that tool was meant to solve. This led to a key shift in his approach: stop assuming. Instead of going in with answers, Junaid started creating small tiger teams with the affected people, facilitating sessions where they owned the solution. The result? Much higher acceptance and genuine continuous improvement. These days, Junaid tests his ideas before bringing them to the full team. He connects with individual team members first — his "closer allies" — to validate whether his analysis matches reality. Only when a few people confirm "yes, this is a real problem" does he bring the proposal to the group. As Vasco puts it: not all tools are appropriate at all times for all people. The same working agreements that were wrong for one team at one moment might be exactly right for a different team, or the same team at a different moment.
