"C'est en France" met à l'honneur Le Corbusier, père de l'architecture moderne, à l'occasion du 60ᵉ anniversaire de sa mort. Visionnaire, il a posé les bases d'une nouvelle ère avec son essai révolutionnaire de 1923, "Vers une architecture", un ouvrage-référence pour les architectes d'aujourd'hui. Mais son héritage est aussi controversé, notamment en raison de révélations sur ses liens présumés avec des groupes fascistes. Retour sur son parcours avec Jennifer Ben Brahim et Nina Masson.

Amanda Muzzarelli is a Director at Trascent where she is a Global Real Estate & Facilities Executive and an AI Enthusiast empowering innovation in complex enterprises. Mike Petrusky asks Amanda about her focus on the importance of interpreting the less visible aspects of workplace strategy, such as trust, meaning, and community while they explore the concept of "invisible architecture" in workplace design, which influences psychological safety, culture, and belonging. Amanda believes that the value of facility management as a field is highlighted by the fact that it is an industry where strategic generalists can thrive, balancing operational and visionary roles. She shares the potential of AI to enhance workplace environments by making buildings smarter and more responsive to human needs, while warning about the risk of automating dysfunctional processes without addressing the underlying issues. Mike and Amanda agree that communication in workplace management is essential, and they encourage attendance at IFMA's upcoming World Workplace conference in Minneapolis where FM leaders will get the insights and inspiration they need to be a Workplace Innovator in their organizations!

Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill are the married couple behind architecture and design studio Hendricks Churchill. Churchill came from a family of builders, and was already running a successful firm—but it wasn't until Hendricks switched careers from art world PR to interior design that Hendricks Churchill truly came together. Since then, their ability to preserve architectural history while infusing it with a vibrant new life has won them a regular spot on Elle Decor's A-List and earned them recognition throughout the industry.On this episode of the podcast, the pair speak with host Dennis Scully about why mutual trust is more important than any contract, their new hospitality venture, and why too many firms get obsessed with revenue and forget all about a more important metric: profit.  This episode is sponsored by Loloi and Blu Dot LINKSHendricks ChurchillDennis ScullyBusiness of Home 

640. Bruce's son Kerr joins us for part 1 of our conversation with Josh Neufeld about his non-fiction graphic novel, A. D. After the Deluge. “A stunning graphic novel that makes plain the undeniable horrors and humanity triggered by Hurricane Katrina in the true stories of six New Orleanians who survived the storm. A.D. follows each of the six from the hours before Katrina struck to its horrific aftermath. Here is Denise, a sixth-generation New Orleanian who will experience the chaos of the Superdome; the Doctor, whose unscathed French Quarter home becomes a refuge for those not so lucky; Abbas and his friend Mansell, who face the storm from the roof of Abbas's family-run market; Kwame, a pastor's son whose young life will remain wildly unsettled well into the future; and Leo, a comic-book fan, and his girlfriend, Michelle, who will lose everything but each other.” Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Walt Whitman came to New Orleans for 3 months to write at the New Orleans Crescent. There he saw things he had not seen in New York. This poem is about one of those.  "I Saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing." I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing, All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches, Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green, And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself, But I wonder'd how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone there without its friend near, for I knew I could not, And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss, And brought it away, and I have placed it in sight in my room, It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends, (For I believe lately I think of little else than of them,) Yet it remains to me a curious token, it makes me think of manly love; For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide flat space, Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near, I know very well I could not. This week in Louisiana history. August 23, 1714. St. Denis begins his exploration of Red River Valley. This week in New Orleans history. The grass-roots organization Levees.org, founded by Sandy Rosenthal and her son Stanford (while exiled in Lafayette after Hurricane Katrina) is devoted to educating America on the facts associated with the 2005 catastrophic flooding of the New Orleans region. On August 23, 2010 the group installed a Louisiana State Historic Marker which reads “On August 29, 2005, a federal floodwall atop a levee on the 17th Street Canal, the largest and most important drainage canal for the city, gave way here causing flooding that killed hundreds. This breach was one of 50 ruptures in the Federal Flood Protection System on that day. In 2008, the US District Court placed responsibility for this floodwall's collapse squarely on the US Army Corps of Engineers.” This week in Louisiana.

This episode of First Draft Live is presented by Agora.The godfather of the CMBS market issued a warning that commercial real estate is not out of the woods of its downturn, which is a potential problem for the U.S. economy. “The losses in CRE are so big that the rippling effect of those losses to the economy are so big that they could be quite harmful,” Ethan Penner, the founder of Mosaic Real Estate Investors, said on this week's First Draft Live.Roughly $23B of CMBS loans have matured without a resolution, and more than 10% are delinquent or in special servicing. Yet the CMBS lending market is roaring, with $60B in new debt issued in just the first six months of this year.“The truth is there are massive, massive losses in real estate,” said Penner, who is credited with inventing the commercial mortgage-backed security in the early 1990s. “These are breathtaking losses, and I think that clearly the system hasn't recognized that on any level.”Penner also spoke about his candidacy for the California governor's race in 2026, with a platform focused on deregulation and a radical new approach to the homelessness crisis in the state.“I don't know where the toilets are in the state house, that makes me an outsider,” he said. “But I do know that the systems are broken.”Register on Bisnow.com to join the next conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs.

 639. Part 2 of our interview with Lori Peek about her book, The Continuing Storm, which she wrote with Kai Erikson. More than fifteen years later, Hurricane Katrina maintains a strong grip on the American imagination. The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves. The Continuing Storm reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America.Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters in the years since Katrina—including COVID-19— The Continuing Storm is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.

"The Hurricane" by William Cullen Bryant (November 3, 1794 – June 12, 1878) was an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. Born in Massachusetts, in 1825, Bryant relocated to New York City, where he became an editor of two major newspapers. He also emerged as one of the most significant poets in early literary America and has been grouped among the fireside poets for his accessible and popular poetry. "Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh,     I know thy breath in the burning sky!     And I wait, with a thrill in every vein,     For the coming of the hurricane! And lo! on the wing of the heavy gales,     Through the boundless arch of heaven he sails;     Silent and slow, and terribly strong,     The mighty shadow is borne along,     Like the dark eternity to come;" This week in Louisiana history.

This episode of First Draft Live is presented by Agora.It's been a chaotic year for the construction industry. Between a volatile tariff regime, elevated interest rates and increased pressures on its labor force, contractors have had to navigate one of the most difficult environments in recent memory. On this week's First Draft Live, Shawmut Design and Construction CEO Les Hiscoe breaks down the impacts of the uncertainty and how his $2B Boston-based company is handling the turmoil. “When things aren't known and you can't really plan on them in our industry, you can't give our clients predictability,” he said on the show.While many developers are responding to the moment by delaying projects — Hiscoe said one of his clients won't start building until interest rates fall a full percentage point — Shawmut is advising them against it as the impacts of tariffs have yet to fully be realized.“Waiting is a mistake,” he said.Register on Bisnow.com to join next Friday's conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs. 

Have you ever found yourself wondering why you keep making choices that don't align with your goals, despite your best intentions? The answer might surprise you. And it's not about willpower or discipline.  What happened when my family's Wi-Fi unexpectedly died during my parents' visit revealed a profound truth about human behavior. My father, who had been refusing physical activities for days due to arthritis, suddenly suggested a bike ride.  Behavioral scientists have a term for this phenomenon: choice architecture. Research shows that modifying your environment is dramatically more effective at changing behavior than simply trying to exercise more discipline.   This isn't just theoretical, governments worldwide have implemented these principles to encourage everything from increased savings to healthier lifestyles, not by convincing people intellectually but by making the desired choices easier to make. The most powerful environmental factor? Your social circle. The people you surround yourself with shape your decisions even more strongly than your physical surroundings, which explains why joining a group with respected peers is more effective than any solo willpower effort.  The most common mistake I see among intelligent, accomplished individuals is overestimating their capacity for consistent willpower. No matter how smart you are, your brain is fundamentally designed to conserve energy, which means you'll almost always default to the path of least resistance.  The solution isn't to double down on discipline but to strategically redesign your environment so the right choice becomes the ONLY available choice.  Share this episode with someone who needs to hear this message and help us create more positive impact by rating and reviewing the podcast on your favorite platform.  Let's get wired for change!  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the essence of early Christianity—before it became intertwined with the Roman Empire and cult of Messianic Judaism. We're stripping away the grandeur, the pageantry, and the complex theology of later traditions to explore a simpler, more intimate form of the faith. This is a time when Christianity was defined not by cathedrals or massive religious institutions, but by small house churches, humble leaders, and a singular gospel.Join us as we discuss the Pre-Nicene Christians, who were not bound by the later, Judaized versions of Christianity but held firm to a faith centered on Paul's singular gospel, written in 34 A.D., long before the four anonymous gospel accounts we know today. This early Christian movement was focused on the teachings of Jesus, with an emphasis on the concept of God as "Our Father" and a direct connection between Christ's earthly life and his divine nature.We'll also take a closer look at the first Christian Bible, as transcribed by Saint Marcion in 144 A.D.—an early canon free from the Old Testament's Torah scriptures. The Pre-Nicene Christian way of life was one of simplicity, with house churches and presbyters at the forefront. These early believers lived in relative anonymity, using their home gatherings to avoid persecution from the Roman Empire, which sought to stamp out the faith. In fact, we'll explore the fascinating history of the Dura-Europos house church, the oldest Christian house church in the world, and the artifacts that reveal how these early communities worshipped in secrecy.Finally, we'll reflect on the role of the presbyter—how these leaders, unlike today's priests, were grounded solely in Christian teachings, never distracted by the merging of Judeo-Christian traditions that would come centuries later.This episode takes you back to a time when Christianity was not a state religion but a humble, resilient movement that survived through simplicity and faith.

In this episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes Alexandra Nikolova and Jonas Aversøg, founders of NA Architects in Copenhagen, for a bold conversation on the future of construction. Specializing exclusively in bio-based and recyclable materials, NA Architects is reimagining how buildings are made—from structural systems to interior finishes. Alexandra and Jonas share how their global journey, from China to London to Denmark, inspired them to challenge the conventions of concrete and steel. They dive into the potential of materials like hemp, straw, clay, cork, and even fish scales, exploring performance, cost, fire safety, and biophilic benefits. From stunning aesthetics to holistic building science, this episode is a masterclass in designing for humans and the planet—where every surface tells a story, and buildings evolve with time.More About Alexandra Nikolova and Jonas AversøgAlexandra Nikolova and Jonas Aaraø are the co-founder of n/a, an architecture and design studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a strong international focus. Rooted in Scandinavian culture, the studio approaches design at all scales from a humanistic and pragmatic perspective, working exclusively with bio-based and recyclable building materials.Both hold a Master of Science in Architecture from Aalborg University, Denmark, Alexandra and Jonas bring extensive experience from some of the world's most renowned architecture and design offices in Beijing, London, and Copenhagen. Their approach to architecture integrates technical, artistic, and humanistic elements, shaping designs that are both functional and sustainable.At n/a, sustainability is at the core of every project. The studio houses a curated collection of over 200 bio-based materials, categorized for all aspects of construction—from foundations to interiors. By investigating the past and understanding the present, the studio strives to create innovative, user-oriented solutions that contribute to a circular economy. Recently they founded a bio-based material company, Materials We Like, in order to support their architecture and design projects directly with supplying bio-based and low carbon materials from around the world directly to construction sites. With “Materials We Like” their commitment to not only thinking about a different type of architecture, but ensuring that they are executed and realised, is underlined. Through their leadership in these two companies working in tandem, they provide at full scope service for any client spanning all architecture and engineering disciplines and delivering the physical materials needed for the construction.The studio's guiding principle, "never boring / always biobased," reflects their commitment to redefining architecture through sustainable, forward-thinking design.CONTACT:https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-nikolova/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonas-aarsoe/https://www.aboutna.com/Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd

What if a pool could clean a river—and a building could rewrite culture? Would you swim in the East River? What does “local” look like when it doesn't mimic the block around it?Architect Dong-Ping Wang (FOOD Architects)—who's collaborated with Kanye West and Virgil Abloh—breaks down architecture as a cultural engine, from hyperlocal listening to rapid, messy sketching that invites feedback fast. He shares a Barbados culinary design studio with Pierre Seurat (Ghetto Gastro), why WhatsApp-level intimacy with clients beats sterile presentations, and how a tiny 6–8 person team caps projects to stay deeply hands-on.We dive into PLUS POOL: the plus-shaped, river-filtering pool that turned a single rendering, a patent, and a site into a movement—and why the biggest risk isn't tech, it's convincing New Yorkers to jump in. DPW also opens up about shaping an Asian-American architectural language, rethinking practice as an “architectural production studio,” and the simplest way to read a space: look up at the ceiling.https://food-arch.com/https://www.instagram.com/dongpingwong/https://pluspool.com/https://www.instagram.com/foodmahjongclub/00:00 The Importance of Local Culture in Architecture02:02 Navigating Client Relationships and Intimacy05:27 Architecture as a Cultural Vehicle06:49 Fluidity in Architectural Practice09:09 Working with Creative Clients10:21 Scaling Intimacy in Architecture12:28 The Architectural Production Studio Model16:04 The Plus Pool Project: Origins and Development24:25 The Power of Packaging in Architecture27:40 Local Context and Cultural Identity30:34 Post-Occupancy Analysis and Success Metrics32:58 Exploring Scales of Architectural Practice37:02 Cultural Identity and Architectural Expression39:43 Lessons from Other Creative Fields45:36 Cultural Shifts and Future Perspectives

Our series around Pure's fundamental design principles continues. Episode 3 discusses three key architectural decisions: stateless controllers, the second controller, and limited error paths. Hear from co-hosts JD Wallace and Andrew Miller about how stateless controllers mean no identity or state is stored within the controller itself, allowing for easy replacement and upgrades without downtime. This design philosophy simplifies maintenance, reduces support costs, and enables seamless technology migrations, allowing Pure customers to upgrade hardware generations without impacting business operations. This is a significant shift from older storage array methods that required complex, time-consuming manual processes and often led to downtime. We then further explore the strategic decision behind having a second controller in an active-standby configuration, prioritizing consistent performance and uptime over maximizing raw performance from both controllers simultaneously. This approach ensures that performance remains stable even during failovers or planned upgrades, eliminating unpredictable results and reducing the need for constant monitoring by IT admins. By focusing on reliability and simplicity, Pure Storage aims to provide a "cloud-like" experience for on-prem and cloud connected storage, significantly reducing operational complexity and enabling faster adoption of new technologies and features.

A request for an encore podcast of our conversation with the Late Honorable Representative John Lewis, Prince and Billie Holiday, moderated by Luana Anders on the flipside, and Jennifer Shaffer (.com) on this side... from the liner notes: Another mind bending session. Apologies for the wifi interruptions on audio... there's a moment in here where I ask Representative Lewis about three names - James, Andrew and Michael.  Prior to the session - I knew who they were. All freedom riders (like John) and two of them he knew well.  When he reported through Jennifer being reconnected with them... and then I asked him to show Jennifer who they were... and she correctly says on camera that they were murdered by the KKK... it doesn't get any more proof of concept than that. The "Emmett" I refer to is the one and only Emmett Till - the 14 year old boy murdered in the South whose death effected John Lewis immensely.  Apologies for becoming emotional - but sometimes this information is overwhelming.  I can only imagine what he describes to Jennifer - the standing ovation from millions of people who had been hurt, whose lives he honored with his life. Last week - we asked him to come forward but I didn't name him - this week Prince returned to introduce him to the class.  He was the one who mentions Billie Holiday and I took the opportunity to ask her some simple questions. It was John who I researched this morning when I realized that he might show up in class today. Apologies to anyone this interview might offend - but in terms of his life, and his journey, I am here to state unequivocally, I film these, I report these for the same reasons that John walked into a wall of billy clubs in order to speak the truth.  The part about Jesus is in the transcripts of both "Hacking the Afterlife" the book and "Architecture of the Afterlife."   The interviews with Dr. King, James Brown, Ray Charles and others is in "Backstage Pass to the Flipside 3."  We're just reporting.

Podcast Notes - Jesus Image Church Construction Discussion Episode Overview Jake and Matt discuss Jesus Image Church's impressive $44 million building project in Orlando, featuring traditional Gothic-inspired architecture and innovative tilt-up construction techniques. Key Discussion Points Traditional Church Architecture Revival Jesus Image Church building actually looks like a church (rare in modern construction) Gothic architecture elements with arched windows Stone facade reminiscent of historical church construction Departure from typical strip mall/warehouse church designs Tilt-Up Construction Technique Industrial/commercial construction method adapted for church use Process: Pour concrete walls as slabs on ground → Frame windows/openings → Let cure → Use cranes to tilt walls into position Much faster than traditional masonry (decades vs. weeks) Requires expensive crane equipment but overall more efficient than historical cathedral construction Project Scale & Phasing Phase 1: $28.6 million, 56,000 square feet Phase 2: Additional $16 million expansion Total Investment: $44+ million Smart phased approach allows use of Phase 1 while planning/fundraising for Phase 2 Simpler sanctuary design in Phase 1, enhanced sanctuary in Phase 2 Jesus Image Church Context Known for charismatic, powerful ministry style Innovative in ministry approach, now extending to architecture Multiple ministries: worship, ministry school, prayer ministry Heavy building usage beyond Sunday services justifies investment Architecture Philosophy Discussion Modern churches often designed for easy conversion (school, gym, commercial use) Jesus Image building will "never be anything but a church" Debate: Cost-effectiveness vs. purpose-built sacred spaces Traditional approach: building took centuries, but created lasting landmarks Architecture's role in facilitating impactful worship experiences Budget Reality Check $44 million not accessible to most churches Equipment costs (cranes) vs. long-term construction savings Question of whether traditional design is worth the premium cost Comparison to strip mall churches and pragmatic building approaches Ministry Integration Building supports multiple ministry functions Architecture chosen to complement their charismatic worship style Investment in excellence across all ministry aspects Physical space designed to enhance spiritual encounters Quotes & Notable Moments Jake: "It's almost got like a gothic architecture look to it with those arched windows." Matt: "They're not building a lot of our modern church buildings. If the church closed, the building would be quickly taken up by someone else that's not a church... But this is never going to be anything but a church." Jake: "I think we're missing out on the power of architecture to support and facilitate impactful worship." Takeaways Traditional church architecture is making a comeback in some circles Modern construction techniques can make historical designs more feasible Phased construction allows ambitious projects without overextending Purpose-built worship spaces vs. multi-use flexibility is an ongoing debate Architecture can be a ministry tool, not just a practical necessity Future Content Ideas Tech tour of Jesus Image when construction is complete Comparison series: Traditional vs. Modern church architecture Construction technique deep-dives for church building projects Budget-friendly ways to incorporate traditional design elements Action Items Plan potential visit to Jesus Image Church construction site Research other churches using similar traditional design approaches Investigate cost comparisons between construction methods

638. Part 1 of our interview with Lori Peek about her book, The Continuing Storm, which she wrote with Kai Erikson. More than fifteen years later, Hurricane Katrina maintains a strong grip on the American imagination. The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves. The Continuing Storm reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America. Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters in the years since Katrina—including COVID-19— The Continuing Storm is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.

The college steadily grew and two dormitories were built on new property in 1832 and 1837. The West Wing, the latter of these two buildings, remains today.     After less than 20 years, the College of Louisiana closed because of declining enrollment. Suffering similar problems was the Methodist/Episcopal-operated Centenary College at Brandon Springs, Mississippi (established in 1839).     Centenary then moved to the vacant campus of the College of Louisiana. Since the all-male student bodies of the two institutions were effectively combined, the school succeeded with the name Centenary College of Louisiana now owned and operated by the Methodist/Episcopal Church South.

The original Opportunity Zone program drove more than $100B into real estate and business investment, but it also faced criticism it missed its mark, failing to spur development in the areas that needed it most.The One Big Beautiful Bill Act just made OZs permanent and it aims to fix all that, tightening the rules on what areas may be designated OZs, lowering the area median income threshold and heavily incentivizing rural development.On this week's First Draft Live, Steve Glickman — co-author of the original OZ program and CEO of Statt — said OZs have been a wild success, especially at spurring much-needed housing.“You're talking bang for the buck that's unparalleled,” he said.Glickman said the new rules will make OZ 2.0 even better, though how much it drives rural development all comes down to designating sites at “the nexus between need and investability.”Register on Bisnow.com to join next Friday's conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs.

Join us for expert insights on driving data-led change. Anand Iyer, Senior Vice President and Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, breaks down his approach to AI-powered innovation. He shares how to ensure AI initiatives directly impact the bottom line, why an engineering approach is key for prioritizing AI use cases, and that "garbage in, disaster out" is the new reality for data at AI scale. Discover how self-service analytics with AI is transforming data access and why AI is now a critical "business forcing function" in today's volatile world.Key Moments:The "Value First Mindset" for AI (03:13): Despite the hype around AI, initiatives must directly impact the top or bottom line in a measurable way. Sustained investment requires a clear link between the AI initiative and its financial value, moving beyond "soft benefits."Engineering Mindset for Prioritization (11:27): Anand discusses how an engineering approach is applied to prioritizing AI use cases, which helps teams focus on thoroughly understanding the problem and desired outcome before selecting a solution. "Garbage In, Disaster Out" (14:27): A new take on an old adage is introduced: "in the AI world is garbage in and disaster out". This highlights the magnified risks of bad data when leveraged at AI scale.Advocacy for Self-Service Analytics with AI (24:10): Self-service analytics is championed, describing how the integration of AI and conversational AI allows users to ask questions regarding the data. This removes the need for IT involvement in report generation and simplifies the learning curve for data structures.AI as a Business Forcing Function (33:38): In today's volatile global environment, near real-time data and AI-driven insights are no longer optional but a "business forcing function". Rapid reactions to market disruptions, policy changes, and supply chain issues are critical for a company's survival and success.Key Quotes:"If you want to have a seat at the table, you've got to be able to talk in terms of what the value is in terms of dollars." - Anand Iyer“We've deployed ThoughtSpot technology to be able to provide self-serve analytics to our teams, which allows them to have access to the data. This enables them to have conversational questions.” - Anand Iyer"The role that data, analytics, and AI play is the ability to give business leaders access to impact and what they should do in a very timely manner so that they can minimize any impact to business." - Anand IyerMentions:Before You Ask an AI Chatbot for Depression Advice, Read This'Garbage in, Garbage out': AI Fails to Debunk Disinformation, Study FindsThe Bhagavad Gita - By Bed VyasGuest Bio:Anand Iyer is the SVP, Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, where he leads the company's global data and analytics strategy.
