Hi! Hello!What does the next decade of Global Business Services look like? In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I talk to Michał Bielawski, Managing Partner and CFO at Adaptive Solutions & Advisory Group, about the upcoming GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 – Executive Senior Leadership Conference, taking place in Łódź.This is the second edition of an event created specifically for GBS leaders and senior professionals who want to discuss the future of the industry from a practical business perspective. Rather than focusing on traditional conference panels, the event is designed around real experience, business cases and open discussions between professionals.During our conversation, Michał walks me through the conference concept and its key topics. The agenda covers strategy, transformation, operations, technology, artificial intelligence and future capabilities. We discuss how technology can change GBS operating models, how transformation is being implemented in today's organizations, and how AI may reshape processes and the way GBS teams work.Another important theme is the relationship between GBS and the core business. We talk about how GBS organizations can move beyond traditional standardized processes and become increasingly connected with areas such as R&D, finance, procurement and more sophisticated business operations.The conference brings together GBS leaders from major international organizations, creating an opportunity to share perspectives, lessons learned and practical experience. The format also includes live audience sessions, encouraging participants to actively contribute to the discussions.If you work in Global Business Services, Shared Services, transformation, operations, technology or AI, this conversation gives you a preview of what to expect from GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 and why this event is worth having on your radar.  Links:GBS for the NEXT DECADE vol. 2 – Executive Senior Leadership Conference - https://app.evenea.pl/event/GBSfortheNEXTDECADEvol2Michał Bielawski on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-bielawski-5505b53/    ****************************  My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Topics include: Why hotel tech decisions can outpace operational readiness What makes technology implementations succeed or fail The realities of deflagging and going independent All-in-one vs. best-of-breed technology stacks When hotels have too many systems What owners should actually ask vendors about AI Why marketing, distribution, and photography still matter Measuring the real value of each booking channel   Related reading: 24-hour implementation: How Première Advisory Group and Cloudbeds redefine hotel technology deployment Hotel management software implementation: How to migrate, train, and go live successfully

It's a race against the clock to fix our aged care system. Recommendations from a Ministerial Advisory Group include increased in-home care, a workforce strategy, and national pathway for people in the system. They're among 40 recommendations which Chair David Cunliffe says if implemented, will save the country money and improve healthcare outcomes. He told Ryan Bridge there are people receiving hospital care who may only need residential or home-based care, but those services aren't there. He says we need to a better, more integrated service with higher levels of care available at home because it's both better for people, and a lot cheaper than hospital care.

What if the next level of leadership isn't about doing more—but learning to lead differently from within?In this episode of the Conscious Leadership Revolution, Susan Hobson sits down with high-performance leadership advisor and Inner Space Mindfulness founder Sher Rana to explore what it means to lead with calm power in a world defined by pressure, disruption, uncertainty, and accelerating change.After a traumatic brain injury disrupted Sher's career and sense of identity, she began a profound journey into neuroplasticity, mindfulness, self-compassion, and the deeper architecture of sustainable high performance.Together, Susan and Sher unpack why awareness is foundational to conscious leadership, how attachment to achievement and identity can create suffering, and why today's leaders need the capacity to regulate their nervous systems, maintain clarity under pressure, and remain deeply connected to their humanity.They also explore the evolution from self-actualization to self-transcendence—the point where leadership becomes less about proving yourself and more about serving something bigger than yourself.In this conversation, you'll discover:• Why conscious leadership begins with awareness• What “calm power” looks like in high-pressure environments• Why self-compassion can become a high-performance advantage• How leaders can move beyond autopilot and reactivity• Why the inner game matters even more in the age of AI• The connection between conscious leadership, parenting, teams, and culture• Why legacy leadership ultimately requires moving beyond the egoThe future of leadership will demand more than intelligence, strategy, and execution. It will require clarity, presence, compassion, emotional regulation, and the courage to lead from the inside out.Because when leaders change how they lead themselves, they change what becomes possible for everyone around them.

For years, nutrition has sat awkwardly between personal responsibility and medical care: important enough for doctors to mention, but rarely supported like a real treatment plan. That gap is becoming harder to defend as diet-related diseases continue to strain patients, employers and the healthcare system. A study in JAMA Network Open found that expanding medically tailored meals in the U.S. could prevent an estimated 1.6 million hospitalizations a year, making the case that food can be more than general wellness advice — it can be part of how care is delivered.That raises the real question for healthcare leaders, employers and retailers: how do you turn food from a recommendation into a system of support?On I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with Adam DeVito, Founder and CEO of Monj Health, and Maggie Biscarr, a food-as-medicine subject matter expert, about whether food can play a more central role in prevention, healing and healthcare strategy. Their conversation covers the history of food-as-medicine, the behavioral barriers that make healthy eating difficult, the role of culinary skills and community, and why employers and retailers may be uniquely positioned to connect food, pharmacy and long-term health.What you'll learn...Food-as-medicine is having a moment because healthcare costs, chronic disease and GLP-1 demand are converging. Biscarr explains that employers and payers are recognizing that nutrition is not just a lifestyle issue, but a workforce health, productivity and cost issue.Behavior change is the missing link. DeVito argues that people do not “eat nutrition”; they eat food, flavor and comfort. Monj aims to make healthy eating joyful through cooking, confidence-building, behavioral science and community.The future may depend on connecting systems. The guests discuss opportunities for employers, retailers, pharmacies and food-as-medicine platforms to work together so people can access education, incentives and practical support where they already live, work and shop.Maggie Troope Biscarr is a food-as-medicine strategist and independent consultant working across the food, retail and healthcare sectors, with current roles including co-lead of the NOURISH Movement, subject matter expert with Clareo Partners, and lead of the GLP-1 Advisory Group for Georgetown's Portion Balance Coalition. She previously served as Director of Global Partnership Solutions at PepsiCo, where she built cross-sector partnerships focused on health, wellness, sustainability and consumer behavior change, including healthier-choice and recycling pilots with major retail partners. Earlier in her career, she led AARP Foundation's SNAP and nutrition incentive portfolios, including fruit and vegetable incentive and Food Rx programs, building on her MSW and long-standing focus on health equity and social drivers of health.Adam DeVito is the Founder and CEO of Monj Health, a food-is-medicine platform that uses behavioral science, technology and coaching to help address obesity, diabetes and metabolic health at scale. He has led innovation and growth across food, digital health, enterprise platforms, nutrition and play, including senior roles at Kraft Foods and Sterling-Rice Group, where his teams developed major new products and brand strategies for leading food and wellness companies. Earlier in his career, he trained in classical French cooking, co-authored a healthy cooking book series for Time Inc., and later became Kraft's first Executive Chef, helping develop DiGiorno Pizza and launch it into a $1 billion brand.

Organised crime groups likely still dictate New Zealand's drug market despite huge increases in seized product. Border drug busts jumped from 1.5 to 6.5 tonnes between 2018 and 2024. In the first nine weeks of 2026, more than 12 tonnes of cocaine was stopped in the Pacific. Chair of Ministerial Advisory Group for Organised Crime Steve Symon told Mike Hosking groups are stockpiling. He says they're getting enough drugs in so they can still control prices, even when there are disruptions. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the resignations of three of the five members of a ministerial advisory group charged with tackling retail crime, justice officials issued a warning. In a report, obtained by Checkpoint, they told Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith the group's two remaining members didn't have relevant expertise in the security industry and facial recognition technology - areas the group is to issue advice about. But, the group is still working to produce reports about these matters. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham spoke to Lisa Owen.

The government is scrapping a troubled advisory group led by businessman Sunny Kaushal. The Ministerial Advisory Group for victims of retail crime has been dogged by controversy since it was established by Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith in October 2024. Most recently, three of its five members resigned within a month of each other, with one saying it had become a very unpleasant environment under Kaushal. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham spoke to Lisa Owen.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is pulling the pin on a group charged with tackling retail crime four months early. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Political tensions are flaring over the fate of the Government's retail crime advisory group. The Government's scrapping its Ministerial Advisory Group several months early after three members resigned last month, leaving just two. Labour's Ginny Anderson told Mike Hosking it's been a disaster since day one with zero outcomes, lead by the group chair Sunny Kaushal. She says he was a political appointment that backfired. But National's Mark Mitchell says they wanted to make sure New Zealand's small and medium businesses had a strong voice, which Kaushal has been.

The Retail Crime Group chair is brushing off criticism from former members. The Government's scrapping its retail crime Ministerial Advisory Group early after three members resigned, leaving just two members out of five. Retail NZ boss and former member Carolyn Young said her relationship with chair Sunny Kaushal made the role untenable and as a politician, he's focused on making headlines. But Kaushal told Mike Hosking he's not upset how things went down with Young because he's focused on the victims. He says he won't respond to her public comments because he wants to get the job done and not focus on egos. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Justice Minister says his retail crime advisory group has been successful and productive. It'll been cut short, ending in May - not the planned September - after three members resigned last month. It leaves just two members, chair and dairy owner Sunny Kaushal and liquor retailer, Ash Parmar. Paul Goldsmith says he could have appointed more people for the next six months or wrapped it up early. "The simpler thing to do was say - look, you've got a couple of things you need to finish, you've got three months to do that and then we'll go off on our merry way. The Government's got lots of ideas to work with." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Labour Party has savaged a government advisory group on retail crime, calling it "dysfunctional, directionless and failing". It comes after Checkpoint yesterday revealed that three of the five members on the Ministerial Advisory Group had resigned in recent weeks.

A controversial government advisory group on retail crime has fallen apart with three of the five members resigning months before the group is due to finish its work. The latest person to quit is Retail New Zealand Chief executive, Carolyn Young. Questions have been raised about the group's value for money after it was revealed that its chairperson, Sunny Kaushal was paid $230,000 in its first year; something he vigorously defends. Retail NZ's Carolyn Young spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Justice Minister's dismissing suggestions there's an issue within the Ministerial Advisory Group for victims of retail crime amid resignations. Three of the five members have resigned in recent weeks including Michael Bell, Lindsay Rowles, and Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young. Young says her relationship with its chairman Sunny Kaushal became untenable. Kaushal's refused an interview but says it's well known himself and Young have different views on the group's recommendations. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking it's a total beat-up. He says the group's been very productive with two of the five promoted into higher jobs, with one member not happy. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A prediction we haven't seen the last of a transnational crime syndicate operating out of Auckland airport.
