Manufacturers (not just the guys on the shop floor, but the C-suite behind them) are on a race to the finish line when it comes to automation. Most of us by now are pretty familiar with how AI and automation can play a role in manufacturing. But it looks like we're heading to the next stage…In this episode, we hear from Chris Stevens, the SVP & GM of US Automation Business at Siemens Digital Industries. We grab a virtual drink and kick the episode off with an interesting paradox – twenty years ago, the push was to automate humans out of processes. But today, we're figuring out how to bring them back.Chris talks about where we're heading now with AI – from reactive tools to proactive partners with the rise of agentic AI. He talks about how the new and improved era of AI can make adaptive manufacturing a reality – imagine having one line but with multiple configurations.Digital transformation is a big theme in this episode, but it's not just about tools and technology. Chris highlights the role of people in the new age of manufacturing too.In this episode, find out:Chris explains the biggest changes since he's been in the industry and why the focus has moved on from just ‘lean manufacturing'A breakdown of what adaptive manufacturing is and how it ties into automation and AIHow the lines are blurring between IT and manufacturing rolesHow AI could help to bring humans back into the loop – internal and external use casesAgentic AI vs. reactive tools like Copilot and how manufacturers can use AI agents in real examplesThe top lightbulb moments around AI and why data contextualization is how we move one step forward as an industryDifferent ways adaptive production methods are changing manufacturing processesHow adaptive production ties into the trends around reshoringWhy more manufacturers need to use digital twin technologyCurrent digital transformation trends and why it's not just about the technologyEnjoying the show?

That's where the work's got to happen.”“Two decades ago, it was 'how can I take humans out of the loop?' Today it's 'how do I bring humans back in the loop?'”“There's a lot of digital transformation projects that fail, and it has nothing to do with the technology. It has everything to do with usability.

September 08, 2025 Is Human Intelligence Adaptive? by Dr. Farid Holakouee

*How do you lead change when you don't know where you are going (yet)? * Today I sit down with Brian Miller, a change management expert from Coach Approach Ministries, to talk about adaptive change. Adaptive change is when you know something needs to change, but you don't yet know what the solution is. It's not just fixing a broken pipe—it's realizing the whole plumbing system might need to be rethought. It's the kind of change that requires people to shift their values, beliefs, and behaviors, not just learn a new skill. And that's why it's hard—because it's not just about doing something different, it's about becoming someone different. When you lead this kind of change, the danger isn't just that people leave—it's that they check out. So Brian focuses on the following things: keep the pace people can handle, invite them into shaping the vision, really listen to the voices of concern, and anchor the change in habits and identity. That way, people don't just stick around—they stay engaged in the mission.

In this episode we break-down the secrets to effective adaptive teaching approaches in the secondary classroom. Our experts define what exactly adaptive teaching is and offer insights to help teachers to know when we should adapt our teaching, how we can adapt teaching, and who we should be adapting it for. We discuss the importance of using adaptive teaching to maintain high expectations in the classroom and in order to ensure that our ambitious curriculum is accessible for all students regardless of background or need. We consider what adaptations we can plan in advance of our lessons, with some practical examples, as well as some of the types of live adaptations that we might make use of responsively in the moment. We also consider how teaching assistants might best support some of these approaches. We consider the use of scaffolds, including what these might consist of and how these can be withdrawn once they have served their purpose. Finally we talk CPD and offer some specific tips for new and early career teachers to help them hit the ground running with adaptive approaches.

As AI transforms how knowledge workers operate, the challenge isn't just adopting new tools—it's rethinking how we learn, adapt, and thrive. In this episode of TECHtonic, TSIA's Thomas Lah sits down with Dr. Chris Dede, Senior Research Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Together, they explore the profound shifts AI brings to workplace learning, from immersive simulations that measure real-world skills to the importance of adaptive expertise and unlearning outdated mental models. Chris shares insights from decades of research on technology-enabled learning, highlighting why companies rank so low in workforce reskilling, what exemplars are doing differently, and how organizations can avoid “shiny object syndrome” when embracing AI. If you're a leader navigating the future of work, or a professional rethinking your own skills, this conversation offers essential guidance for succeeding in an AI-enabled world.

In this warm, idea-packed episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem move from personal updates to a deep dive on resilience.

The journey from one Paralympics to another isn't easy.That was especially true from Tokyo to Paris, with an atypical three-year gap between Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic pushing back the former.But that wasn't a problem for Ezra Frech.The Team USA track and field star, at just 16 years old in 2021, finished fifth in the high jump T63 event with a personal best and eighth in the long jump T63 event. He took those moments and built upon them with an intense three-year training period to get ready for Paris in 2024. While training, Frech had another job -- executive producing the new Peacock docuseries "Adaptive." The doc follows Frech and three other Paralympic athletes on their journey from Tokyo to Paris."It's basically everything that a sports doc should be," Frech explained in an interview with NBC. "It's really raw, emotional, authentic. There's lots of highs, lows, ups, downs, tears, laughter and, in my case, the peak of the peak -- winning two Paralympic gold medals."It's the behind-the-scenes of all that. So, if anyone wants to know what goes on behind the curtain in my life, 'Adaptive' is it."As he says, Frech was not only successful in making a great sports doc -- he was also successful in his primary goal of becoming a Paralympic champion. The then-19-year-old from Los Angeles won gold in the 100m T63 and high jump T63."The way 'Adaptive' portrays me is a hyper-obsessive, competitive kid who will stop at nothing that's in front of him to get to his goals," Frech said.Para Athlete Ezra Frech credits his mother for instilling confidence, passion to share his story about disability. U.S. Paralympic athlete Ezra Frech has made it his mission to share his inspirational story in hopes of normalizing disability. However, none of this would be possible if it weren't for his mother, Bahar. Ezra opens up about how she shaped him into a confident teacher and helper. "Adaptive" isn't just about Frech, though. The series also follows swimmer Jamal Hill and wheelchair basketball players Courtney Ryan and Josie Aslakson.All four athletes in "Adaptive" medaled in Paris, with Hill grabbing a bronze and Ryan and Aslakson taking home silvers."Jamal is one of the most talented swimmers in the world," Frech said. "He is a star in the Paralympic space. He has a deep-rooted sense of advocacy in everything that he does. I might be biased, but he is a dang interesting character to watch."The two wheelchair basketball players were teammates, but each brought their own unique style and personality to the doc, French explained."Courtney is a very fiery, fiesty, amazing wheelchair basketball player on the women's team who battles a lot of adversity and continues to persevere," Frech said."... Jose is a sweet, beautiful, kind soul and she's really talented," Frech said. "Her story is amazing.

The journey from one Paralympics to another isn't easy.That was especially true from Tokyo to Paris, with an atypical three-year gap between Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic pushing back the former.But that wasn't a problem for Ezra Frech.The Team USA track and field star, at just 16 years old in 2021, finished fifth in the high jump T63 event with a personal best and eighth in the long jump T63 event. He took those moments and built upon them with an intense three-year training period to get ready for Paris in 2024. While training, Frech had another job -- executive producing the new Peacock docuseries "Adaptive." The doc follows Frech and three other Paralympic athletes on their journey from Tokyo to Paris."It's basically everything that a sports doc should be," Frech explained in an interview with NBC. "It's really raw, emotional, authentic. There's lots of highs, lows, ups, downs, tears, laughter and, in my case, the peak of the peak -- winning two Paralympic gold medals."It's the behind-the-scenes of all that. So, if anyone wants to know what goes on behind the curtain in my life, 'Adaptive' is it."As he says, Frech was not only successful in making a great sports doc -- he was also successful in his primary goal of becoming a Paralympic champion. The then-19-year-old from Los Angeles won gold in the 100m T63 and high jump T63."The way 'Adaptive' portrays me is a hyper-obsessive, competitive kid who will stop at nothing that's in front of him to get to his goals," Frech said.Para Athlete Ezra Frech credits his mother for instilling confidence, passion to share his story about disability. U.S. Paralympic athlete Ezra Frech has made it his mission to share his inspirational story in hopes of normalizing disability. However, none of this would be possible if it weren't for his mother, Bahar. Ezra opens up about how she shaped him into a confident teacher and helper. "Adaptive" isn't just about Frech, though. The series also follows swimmer Jamal Hill and wheelchair basketball players Courtney Ryan and Josie Aslakson.All four athletes in "Adaptive" medaled in Paris, with Hill grabbing a bronze and Ryan and Aslakson taking home silvers."Jamal is one of the most talented swimmers in the world," Frech said. "He is a star in the Paralympic space. He has a deep-rooted sense of advocacy in everything that he does. I might be biased, but he is a dang interesting character to watch."The two wheelchair basketball players were teammates, but each brought their own unique style and personality to the doc, French explained."Courtney is a very fiery, fiesty, amazing wheelchair basketball player on the women's team who battles a lot of adversity and continues to persevere," Frech said."... Jose is a sweet, beautiful, kind soul and she's really talented," Frech said. "Her story is amazing.

Episode 4 of our series around Pure's fundamental design principles dives into aspects of Pure's technology that drive realistic efficiency for users. This episode tackles capabilities most Storage professionals are familiar with - snapshots, efficiency metrics and adaptive flexible RAID. Pure learned from the challenges created by legacy architectures to build better versions of these features into our all-flash array portfolio. Hear about how Pure Storage's snapshot architecture focuses on instant, efficient, and immutable copies that serve both operational and security needs. Snapshots can be created instantly with no performance overhead and used for rapid recovery, cloning, or replication—each one functions as a “gold copy version” and maintains group consistency, enabling rollbacks to any point in time without dependencies or data duplication. Their design is tightly integrated with metadata, enabling efficient thin provisioning and consistent protection, while SafeMode extends these benefits by enforcing privileged access and retention policies for ransomware resilience. Around realistic efficiency metrics - we deliver transparent and realistic efficiency metrics by directly reporting space consumption trends and physical storage utilization, rather than relying solely on claims about thin provisioning or data reduction. Our user interface distinguishes between budgeted capacity, usable capacity, and used space, with a focus on showing only live user data (volumes and snapshots), and hiding internal system overhead, RAID overhead, and reclaimable space until critical thresholds are reached. Finally, we tackle RAID - Pure's RAID architecture is built for flash, utilizing a flexible, adaptive structure that never requires manual configuration while continuously ensuring optimal data protection and performance. Series Overview: Pure Storage's foundational approach to product engineering is guided by 15 architectural decisions that were established at the company's inception and have shaped both the technical and user experience across its product lines. These architectural choices were not made arbitrarily—they stem from a deliberate focus on simplicity, efficiency, and scalability, ensuring Pure could deliver storage solutions that break away from legacy complexity and enable continuous innovation without compromise. This series will guide viewers through all of the 15 principles, helping you understand why certain choices were made, how they impact your operations, and how they compare to other industry features and products. Join Pure Report podcast hosts Rob Ludeman, Andrew Miller, and J.D Wallace for this fun technical retrospective on Pure Storage.

What if the real problem in your organization isn't your people—but your structure? In this episode of the Org Design Podcast, Erika Jacobi, Ph.D., Founder and MD of LC Global Consulting, joins Amy Springer and Damian Bramanis to unpack why structure drives behavior—and how most organizations are solving symptoms, not root causes. Erika shares insights from 20+ years in organizational development, explaining: • Why coaching and training often fail without systemic design • How to spot when your organization's structure is the real issue • The critical breaking points in company growth—from 2 to 200,000 people • Why adaptability and stability are not opposites in modern orgs • How visionary CEOs can accidentally create chaos (and what to do about it) Packed with clarity, candor, and a systems-thinking lens, Erika invites leaders to move from reactive reorgs to thoughtful, adaptive design—starting with their own thinking.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Mike Gulla, CEO of Adaptive Insurance, whose team is redefining what it means to be resilient in an era of climate uncertainty and operational volatility. We'll explore why now is the time for parametric and adaptive insurance, what inspired the creation of Adaptive, and how emerging technologies like AI, big data, and cloud computing are transforming the insurance landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS          Mike started Adaptive in early 2024 to help businesses build financial resilience against climate change, using parametric-style products and unique data assets. Starting a business comes with many challenges – revenue planning, product selection, and insurance. Our focus is helping owners understand how environmental factors like extreme weather or business interruptions could impact them over time. Power outages show that even with backup systems, grid failures can cause major disruptions – from dark streets to reduced customer traffic. As climate shifts, populations are moving into areas with new weather risks. My focus is on creating innovative insurance products that turn these challenges into opportunities for good BEST MOMENTS ‘The consumer needs knowledge to understand what the things are that are ultimately going to impact their business.' ‘Speed is huge, which is why we use parametric products, a business owner needs to be able to make a decision very quickly after an event occurs. When you combine knowledge with speed it helps them make a better decision for their business.' The insurance industry has suffered from how fast things have changed.' ‘Parametric insurance products are similar to streaming services in that they allow the consumer a new opportunity to have access to a different type of coverage that specifically focusses on something that might impact their business.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Mike Gulla, CEO and Co-Founder of Adaptive Insurance, has over 20 years of experience in the insurance industry and is passionate about transforming how insurance works by leveraging technology and innovative strategies. His career is marked by a commitment to making insurance more adaptive, efficient, and customer focused. Mike's leadership at Adaptive Insurance reflects his vision for a smarter, more responsive industry—one that meets the evolving needs of clients in a rapidly changing world. Known for his forward-thinking approach and dedication to excellence, Mike continues to inspire teams and drive meaningful change across the insurance landscape.

Technology is much more than a tool. Physicist Ursula Franklin argued that it's a system — one so powerful that it can shape our mindset, our society and our politics. Her observations were prescient when she delivered her Massey Lecture in 1989 and they are all the more relevant today. Ursula Franklin's friend and collaborator Jane Freeman reflects on the power of Franklin's message. *This episode originally aired on Oct. 3, 2024.

FROM THE VAULT: In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Jake Ehlinger (Habitat Solutions 360) discuss food plots, property management, design, maintenance, and new property layout techniques. Jake explains his no till, food source options and how to reshape your property based on the neighborhood. Jake discusses his neighborhood and how to approach changes on a yearly basis. Jake's adaptive management style and his ability to be consistent and grow more tonnage per acre, allows him to pull in more deer and be less susceptible to over browse. Jake discusses his current food plot regime, and breaks down why this is the better late season food plot option when trying to manage a larger deer herd.

Jake discusses a combination of soybeans and corn and what ratio he plants each in to get maximum results. Jake provides an option for annual plants and other options you have for late season food. Jake explains his neighborhood situation and what his neighbors are doing from a harvest to food perspective and how this impacts his property. Jake discusses the importance of his observation treestand and how you can observe much more through your own eyes as compared to trail cameras. Jake explains how trail systems he lays out will lead deer through his property for better hunting opportunities. Jon discusses the importance of observation data and why we should not ignore this information when evaluating deer movement. Jake explains his observation data and how bucks use cover and how deer move based on densities and wind direction. Jake explains how deer can avoid trail cameras and sometimes our reliance on trail cameras can be fraught with lack of or misinformation. Jon and Jake discuss how deer are individualistic and how data from trail cameras and observation lead to more information on deer behavior. Jon explains a strategy to pull a mature buck onto your property and the bits of information he relies on to ensure deer are going have increased interest in a property.  Jake discusses changes over time and how he handles the maintenance and improvement side of his property as succession occurs. Jon explains what we need to consider as we are making changes on our property as we go through seral stages over time. Jake explains a recent change he has made to his property to ensure deer utilization is high. Jake discusses normal maintenance and specific changes that may be needed to ensure bedding areas remain permanent fixtures in a deer's movement. Jake explains how to cut a focal area on his property through creating walls of cover, travel corridors, open and closed areas in the best locations. Jake continues to improve his and his client's properties through these detailed methods of cutting and how he emphasizes diversity on the landscape.

Send us a textEver landed that dream client only to freeze with the sudden realization that now you have to deliver? That moment of "what do I do now" anxiety hits almost every coach at some point in their journey. But there's a powerful framework for moving beyond that fear to create transformative results for your clients.The cornerstone of exceptional coaching isn't complicated—it's about beginning with the end in mind. When someone becomes your client, they do so because they believe you can help solve their problem. Your first responsibility is gaining absolute clarity on what they truly want to achieve. This isn't just for your benefit; it helps them mentally commit to the destination, making the journey more focused and meaningful. Without this clarity, how will either of you recognize success when it arrives?Many coaches struggle because they make coaching about themselves rather than their clients. The self-doubt whispers that you're not qualified enough or lack sufficient expertise are actually your brain's protective mechanisms trying to keep you safe from potential discomfort. The solution? Shift your focus entirely to where your client stands in their journey. Meeting clients where they are—not where you are—creates the foundation for genuine transformation. If they're on step one while you're discussing step nine, you're not serving them effectively.Perhaps the most powerful insight for coaches is understanding the difference between technical and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges require information, steps, or how-to guidance. Adaptive challenges, however, demand perspective shifts and mindset changes. Most clients believe they have technical problems when they're actually facing adaptive ones. Recognizing which type of challenge your client is truly experiencing allows you to provide the right support at the right time, dramatically improving your effectiveness.Ready to transform your coaching approach? Start by creating psychologically safe environments where clients feel they belong, then balance technical teaching with addressing the adaptive challenges that truly drive lasting change. Your clients will not only achieve better results—they'll become your most enthusiastic advocates.Want a personalized strategy session for free?
