In this edition of Unfiltered Stories, Ralph Aboujaoude Diaz, Practice Leader at HFS connects with Ben Rayner, Head of Analytics and Process Optimisation at Citi Enterprise Operations and Technology, Seng Yue Yau, Head of Digital Transformation and TBS IT at Takeda, and Rui Gonçalves, Head of Technology Consulting at KPMG Portugal & Global Low Code and Automation Lead to get their insights & perspectives on how low code does or doesn't fit into their digital journey. Low code is a hot topic in the market right now for software development teams and the potential for citizen development (non-IT developers). HFS with support from KPMG is exploring how European firms are grappling with low code, the opportunities, challenges, and successes. In this session, Ralph will moderate a discussion with Ben, Yau, and Rui about our recent study that involved HFS speaking to 15 technology leaders about their firm's adoption of low code. Ralph, Ben, Yau, and Rui cover a range of topics, including: How does low code fit into your organization's technology or software development practice(s)? What are the drivers for low code adoption? How does low code fit with RPA, or how does it fit into personal (citizen developer task automation) versus business or enterprise-wide solution development? What were the challenges they had with data when it came to low code? What role can a partner play in helping with a company's low code adoption? What advice would they offer a technology or business leader on adopting low code in their organization?

This is a conversation with Ben Rayner and Paul Stephenson.Ben spent two decades working in advertising, developing brand and communication strategies for some of the world’s biggest companies. He has a vision of a business world where branding of the individual becomes the ‘norm’ and is fascinated by why many of continue to forget the lessons of our past. Paul spent a career in growing people to grow business. He changed company cultures and helped people to break through glass ceilings and overcome limiting beliefs. He is fascinated by the power of the individual and why people can fail to acknowledge all of the options that are available to them. Ben and Paul formed Zengility in 2019 with a mission to liberate the world from work. In this episode we talked about how business has been hardwired into the dangerous concept of growth at all costs. I spoke to Ben and Paul about how individually and collectively we can escape this pattern of life and business that is effectively killing us and the biosphere around us. Ben and Paul range from pragmatic to radical as we explored who’s terms we are living life on, status anxiety and essentialism. It gives me hope that people like Ben and Paul have about-turned their consultancy practices to focus entirely on happiness.
For our feature interview, Mike catches up with Ben Rayner (22:40), the long-time music writer and critic at the Toronto Star. He’s easily one of the best music writers in Canada and it’s obvious that his love of music, and writing about it, is as strong as ever. As local newspapers disappear and even the big newspapers like the Globe & Mail and National Post diminish their arts coverage and move music journalists into other beats, Ben is among the last of a dying breed. Mike and Ben chat about changing nature of music journalism in Canada and the decline of music coverage in newspapers and then get into what impact this could have on artists and the country’s music industry. But before we chat with Ben, we also meet up with Charlie Wall-Andrews (2:48), the executive director of the SOCAN Foundation. Charlie fills us in all the various grants and programs that the SOCAN Foundation has available to artists. Then she and Mike discuss the concept of corporate social responsibility, which is an area of particular expertise for Charlie, and how it applies to the music industry. www.socanfoundation.ca.
Mike chats with Toronto Star music critic Ben Rayner about his career in music journalism and so much more.

Plus, they pay tribute to rock 'n' roll founder Fats Domino. And Toronto Star critic Ben Rayner remembers Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip.
British-born photographer Ben Rayner drops by "the darkroom" to "develop some terrible prints" and lets us how this kid obsessed with punk and hardcore got into shooting everything from Vice photo spreads to weird bands to high fashion stuff. Along the way he throws us some classic awful SXSW gigs from his band Throwing Up - in which he moonlights as a drummer - and fills us in on how his jetsetting lifestyle actually works. We also hear about Geoff's photo shoot for his Bass Player magazine profile (which, sadly isn't available online). Let loose the aperature on this week's Worst Gig Ever!
