The MTU Innovation Challenge 2025 has once again demonstrated the transformative power of student-led innovation, as interdisciplinary teams from across the globe came together to tackle real-world challenges posed by local, regional, and international organisations. Over the course of the last eight weeks, 11 teams of students from across Munster Technological University's six campuses in Cork and Kerry collaborated with their peers from Ud'A University in Italy, Murang'a University of Technology in Kenya, the University of Skövde in Sweden, and the University of Crete in Greece. Together, they engaged in solving a diverse range of innovation challenges supported by expert mentoring and training in design thinking and stakeholder engagement. Each team worked closely with real-world organisations to develop creative, practical solutions to problems currently affecting those organisations. The teams were supported by a group of volunteer mentors from across MTU without whom the challenge would not be possible. This year's participating organisations come from a wide variety of sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, assistive technology, AI, and nonprofit services. Challenges ranged from implementing AI solutions for business process automation to designing accessible healthcare devices to improving sustainable farming tools and community engagement platforms. Students tackled projects including the development of an AI-powered supply chain tool for tech firm Aspen Grove, the design of a paediatric syringe driver lockbox for Cork University Hospital, and a reimagined neck support brace for Motor Neurone patients at Marymount Hospice. In the nonprofit and community space, students designed an interactive app for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind to engage users in a service dog's journey, contributed to a digital portal for clients at the Crann Centre, and explored improvements to solar-powered irrigation systems and data platforms with Kenyan start-up SowPrecise. Carole O'Leary, who spearheads this initiative at MTU, said: "These projects are not hypothetical scenarios, these are real issues facing organisations right now. What's remarkable is how our students rise to meet these complex challenges with such creativity, empathy, and professionalism. The benefits are two-fold: the organisations gain fresh perspectives and potential solutions, while students gain hands-on experience and the confidence to innovate in the real world." To mark their achievements, two standout teams were each awarded a €1,000 prize for their innovative and impactful solutions: Team Marymount 1 and Team SowPrecise 1. All students participating in the challenge received a Digital Badge in recognition of their engagement, collaboration, and contribution. From a stakeholder perspective, the benefits were evident. "The MTU Innovation Challenge has been such a highlight for me this year, and it is so exciting and rewarding to work with the students at MTU," said Orlaith Leo, Leo Senior Physiotherapist at Marymount Hospice. "To put my clinical head together with their creative minds has been so valuable, and they've come up with some brilliant ideas I could never have imagined." Gemma Leo, Business Support and Project Manager at the Crann Centre, shared similar praise: "The apps that we saw were absolutely beautiful - so a massive congratulations to the students. I can totally see that if we can get them built, our clients would use them." The 2025 challenge welcomed the most academically diverse group to date, with participation from both undergraduate and postgraduate students across a wide range of disciplines. These included programmes in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, Software Development, Computing, Creative Digital Media, Animation and Visual Effects, Business Information Systems, International Business, Marketing, Economics, Data Science and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, User Experience and Service Design, Electrical and Electronics...

Mark discusses his involvement with organizations such as Fathers For Equal Rights and the Children's Rights Council, emphasizing the importance of viewing both parents as essential to a child's life.Listeners are invited to shift their perspectives on anger and conflict. Mark introduces the idea that anger often fails to yield effective results, coining the term "actions not gaining effective results" to describe it, and contrasts it with calmness as more productive responses. He encourages us to question the value of anger and prejudiced actions, advocating instead for the development of compassionate, understanding relationships.Through storytelling and insightful dialogue, Mark provides strategies for transforming anger into constructive action.

He holds a master's degree in Business Information Systems from HEC Lausanne and previously worked at Hyperion (bought by Oracle) and Outlooksoft (bought by SAP) before starting beqom in 2008. Together with his co-founders (including Tanya Jansen and Stephan Pohl, who are still active in the company), Fabio built beqom to solve HR problems he himself had encountered earlier in his career. Serendipitously enough, someone Fabio used to know from Hyperion was on the board of a French company who had built the exact tech that Fabio and his co-founders needed, but was using it for different purposes. beqom was born out of a partnership with that company. Later on, when beqom was coming into its own, it merged with this French company. beqom started out with Swiss headquarters and maintains them to this day. Fabio thinks this helped them be global-minded about their product building from day one: since Switzerland is such a linguistically and culturally fragmented country, Swiss founders cannot rely on their domestic market to keep them in business, like US companies can. In 2022 beqom received a strategic investment of USD 300M from Sumeru Equity Partners. A few years prior, beqom had received another investment from Goldman Sachs, in exchange of which they promised a favorable exit scenario — this was their motivation for the 2022 Sumeru investment.

Sarah is joined by a distinguished panel contributing to the conversation on a timely and critical issue: the campaign to recognize Gender Apartheid as a crime against humanity.    'United Against Gender Apartheid,' is discussed in detail by renowned journalist, author and campaigner, Robbyn Swan, Afghan lawyer and campaigner Mahbooba Faiz and Mahya Ostovar, a professor and long-time activist for women's rights in Iran.   The podcast highlights the worsening situation in Afghanistan and Iran, where women are subjected to systemic repression under legal frameworks designed to erase them from public life. The Taliban's policies in Afghanistan and Iran's Morality Police are cited as examples of these oppressive structures.  This conversation is not just a legal debate—it's a vital exploration of women's rights and the global movement to protect them. Be sure to download the episode and join the discussion!  #unitedagainstgenderapartheid   Mahbooba Faiz is a dedicated feminist and women's rights activist with over six years of experience in advocating for gender equality. Her commitment to these causes intensified after escaping Afghanistan in 2021, following the Taliban's takeover and their subsequent restrictions on women's freedoms.   Mahbooba is a two-time refugee, having first escaped Afghanistan in late 1996 when the Taliban took control of Kabul. During this time, she witnessed the harsh treatment of people, particularly women, including her mother. She is also a war victim, having lost her father during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.   In Ireland, Mahbooba has been an outspoken advocate, frequently appearing in the media to raise awareness about the plight of women under oppressive regimes, particularly in Afghanistan. She has worked to inform Irish society and the broader international community about the severe impact of Islamic fundamentalism on women's lives.   Mahbooba holds a bachelor's degree in law and has earned two master's degrees in Law and International Studies, one from Afghanistan and one from the Republic of Ireland.   She is married and has one child, balancing her family life with her passionate commitment to promoting women's rights and gender equality.  Mahya Ostovar is a women's rights activist and an assistant professor in Business Information Systems at University of Galway, Ireland. During her PhD studies in France, her research focused on campaigns against mandatory hijab in Iran—such as “My Stealthy Freedom” and “White Wednesdays.”   Mahya was also active in the “#LetUsTalk” campaign, which demands the Western feminists and progressives to not silence the criticism of Islam, especially by Middle Eastern women, and the “#No2Hijab campaign,” which calls on Iranian women not to wear the headscarf in Iranian public.   Her primary focus in all these activities has been the equality of women and their rights over their bodies. Robbyn Swan is a well-known American journalist and author. Her book, The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden, co-authored with her husband Anthony Summers, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History. Robbyn has been a strong advocate for ending gender apartheid. Working alongside Mahbooba and Mahya, she has lobbied Irish representatives and organizations to keep the issue of women's rights under oppressive regimes on the political agenda.   Her involvement with Mahbooba and Mahya highlights her dedication to global women's rights and the push for international recognition and action against gender-based oppression.  Contact details:   Robbyn Swan:  swanrobbyn@yahoo.co.uk for more on #UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid.  For more information on global campaigns to End Gender Apartheid, see the links below:   End Gender Apartheid Today: https://endgenderapartheid.today/   Instagram   @endgenderapartheid.today   @unitedagainstgenderapartheid

Meagan Knoll and Tom McGinnis, long-time collaborators and educators, rejoin me to share how SAP University Alliances is impacting the IT industry talent pipeline. Listen in as we uncover the value of UA programs, how employers leaders can connect with universities and the key takeaways for fostering successful partnerships in the ever-evolving tech landscape. All right, So let's start with the very basics.   [00:00:46.430] - Mustansir Saifuddin When we talk about University Alliance, what is the real value of the UA program in building a talent pipeline overall from an IT industry perspective?   [00:01:00.900] - Meagan Knoll Well, let me get started with telling you some of the unique opportunities that the University Alliances offers, and I think that will really segue into some of the value that comes from it. So the University Alliances has a lot of different initiatives behind the scenes. They offer training and workshops to faculty so that we're always on the cusp of new technology and emerging technology. They allow us to have hands-on access to SAP systems so that our students can explore and learn really the basics and the extended knowledge of being within the SAP system. They offer a lot of curriculum resources. How can we impart this knowledge onto the students in a very hands-on way? And a curriculum that is pretty standardized across the University alliances, so we can pool our talents to troubleshoot and provide these really in-depth curriculum opportunities. Then one of the best, I think, when it comes to connecting SAP employees or SAP users, is it helps faculty and students collaborate with those experts. For new emerging technologies or maybe a specific line of business, they really help make that connection so that we're talking to the right people and having the students learn the right content.   [00:02:29.740] - Meagan Knoll Then they offer certifications and badges, which is really great for the students to not only leave with a degree from a university, but with a SAP certification There's many different ones that can be taken, but a value at the student level is that that certification has tangible learning objectives that they can take from their degree at the university and then apply them to those certificates and badges.   [00:03:07.990] - Mustansir Saifuddin That sounds incredibly awesome. I hear a few things when you talk about this at length. One is that not only the students are getting benefit, but even the teaching staff has got that breadth of knowledge by going through this program.   [00:03:28.760] - Mustansir Saifuddin Tom, from where you said, what do you see the value?   [00:03:32.500] - Mustansir Saifuddin What is that comes to you when you talk about UA program?   [00:03:36.870] - Tom McGinnis It's the continuation of exactly that. With the students and the faculty getting together, it provides a great deal of value for the employer that's going to be hiring those students. You have students who are arriving on site on day one that have a process understanding. They understand, if you will, the of SAP. They know what master data is. They know what the org structure of the organization could be. They understand the transactions. That fundamental knowledge of all those pieces really adds a great deal of value. Usually In the UA, a majority of the schools are worried about the make-buy-sell process. The value is not that the new hire has the company's specific business processes in mind, but But they know how to translate what they got out of the UA program into the organization and translate that into reporting, data sourcing, data-driven decisions. It really lets them hit the ground running, and the businesses can get a great deal out of that. At the same time, the students get a great deal out of that as well because they understand the value of what this means to business. Normally, speak to students about what's important, and they accept that.   [00:05:04.310] - Tom McGinnis When they see the University Alliance and how it partners with business, they now get a real value for that, and they're no longer passive in their education. We see students really jumping on board and augmenting skills more and more. So it improves both the business side as well as the student side. It's really fun to watch.   [00:05:25.790] - Mustansir Saifuddin For sure. I think I can totally relate to it. I mean, you would Your choice of words, especially when you talk about translating, translation, it is so much important. When you talk about a business, there are certain parameters they run and they use certain terminologies, technologies, and then everything is coming together to make up a business environment. And a student who is exposed to it very early on, they now are able to simulate in the new system because it's just natural to them now. That takes me to my next question, which is, look from an employer's perspective. Where can employers find a university they can connect with who has got the UA program?   [00:06:15.890] - Meagan Knoll The University Alliances, of the schools that participate in the program who offer some SAP courses, they always have one point person that's called the Faculty Coordinator. This point person is a great go-to as a person to learn about what offerings they have, if they have any student groups, if they have any needs or things that they want to connect over. There's also some great advisory board opportunities. A lot of local universities who offer the SAP program have advisory boards where different companies can sit on those advisory boards and help direct the curriculum choices. There's a really good touch point, which is Career Services. Contacting a local university's Career Services to see if they have an SAP program, if they have a University Alliances program, and getting your foot in the door with Career Services can then open not only the doors to the courses that were offered and the student body that makes up those courses, but also ways to really get engaged when it comes to maybe taking the students on for internships or taking the students on for an entry-level career.   [00:07:42.330] - Mustansir Saifuddin Wow. There are so many different aspects and avenues for employers to interact with a university that has got the program going, right? Now, looking from a different angle, what do you expect from prospective employers? What is that you guys want or the students are looking for?   [00:08:05.550] - Tom McGinnis There's a couple of things. Part of it is being active or participating with the faculty and the students. It also brings together the folks to talk about what the requirements are and expectations. I know Megan and I have worked with a lot of students in bringing companies into the student group to just talk hiring practices, talk about what's the average day in the office. That opens up their eyes. It also gets the employers in to help assess the program, if you will, because Not all programs are made equal. Some schools will have larger programs than others. Sometimes a school will have dedicated SAP coursework, meaning a full 15-week course dealing with business processes. Activities, dealing with configuration, dealing with warehouse management or building a data warehouse. And along with that, there might be snippets in other courses. So the accounting course may have a two-week discussion around SAP and what accounting looks like. A supply chain course might touch upon procurement just for a few weeks in the semester. There are different ways of teaching the classes, and employers can come in and take a look at that and see what they're looking for. Students see the employers coming in and get an understanding of what the employers are looking for, and everyone starts to dial in on what they like.   [00:09:43.650] - Tom McGinnis In some of the programs I've taught in, a majority of the students taking the courses, SAP courses, are not MIS students. They're not technology people. They're business process people because they see that the employers value that business process understanding. It's really fun to watch that eke out. Then faculty, of course, get involved because they want their courses to be relevant to employers. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy where everyone's feeding off each other's energy to ramp up the programs. It's really exciting to see that happen.   [00:10:23.260] - Mustansir Saifuddin Now, that's interesting. I think one point that I really got out of this is as an employer ourselves, at Innovative Solution Partners, basically what I'm hearing is you want us to be there, interact with the program and students, and get to know what is being taught. And this is one way of Getting the value out of the program because each program has got its own merit in terms of what has been taught in the program. And each school has a different curriculum. So this way an employer has an opportunity to get to know what they will be dealing with or what they will be getting in terms of the talent that they're looking for.   [00:11:09.540] - Meagan Knoll To speak to that point, let me give you some examples of some opportunities that have taken place at a lot of University Alliances schools. There's something called the NextGen Labs. Nextgen Labs are a space within the university where they can do hands-on projects for or a community partner. If your business has a small project that maybe you don't have the bandwidth to take on and it involves SAP in some way, you could turn it over to a course at a university, and the students could work on solving that problem for you or making that report that you need. That's one great way to preview the talent because those students that are on that next-gen project who are going to be meeting with you and talking about it and presenting it gives you a great insight into what type of employee those students might become. Another one that is pretty popular is code jams. A great way to connect with the students and see the students in action would be to participate in a code jam. A lot of SAP organizations or user groups groups, they have code jams put on by SAP. Students can attend those as much as the employees at the different businesses can attend.   [00:12:39.710] - Meagan Knoll And having that mix between students and professionals is a great way to see that blossoming talent and really connect with them before you hire them on.   [00:12:53.380] - Mustansir Saifuddin That's very interesting. So I know I'm familiar with code jam for sure. This next Gen program that you mentioned, it seems very interesting also. It seems like there are multiple ways a prospective employer can connect and interact and get a first-hand look at the talent that they're dealing with or they will we're going to be approaching in the future. So this is really good news.   [00:13:18.880] - Mustansir Saifuddin Now, let's take a different approach.   [00:13:24.130] - Mustansir Saifuddin I know you are being an educator, you're dealing with students day in, day out. How How are you preparing these young people to be productive from the get-go?   [00:13:35.620] - Meagan Knoll I think it takes more than just an individual faculty member. It's really, most of these SAP University Alliances programs are housed in a larger college, like the College of Business. It takes that whole roundabout knowledge of the tactical things, the systems thinking, the hands-on, education, all the different insights that come from career services and come from extracurriculars, even leadership type roles that students might have on campus. It really takes a large ecosphere at the university level to really prepare the students to go forth. And the UA gives a really great mix that universities can already add on to their great programs, but it just gives that little bit of extra edge.   [00:14:29.920] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, that makes sense, because especially when you think about these programs, I know it feels like sometimes when you think about these programs, you are looking at one part of it, but it's an overall scheme of things It makes sense to have it as the way it's set up, like you mentioned.   [00:14:49.740] - Mustansir Saifuddin Tom, you have any other points that you want to share about this, especially when you're preparing young folks?   [00:14:57.940] - Tom McGinnis Part of it is there's There's a couple of aspects to it. It's more from the employer side of things is when you're looking at programs, as I said before, they're not all the same. Oftentimes, I see companies struggle with how to participate, how to put their foot in in those cases. Megan has mentioned career services and all those opportunities, but part of it is assessing the schools that you partner with. Most organizations already have a set list of schools that they recruit from. It could be just as simple as going out and looking to see if one of their current schools is on that list. Sap, www. Sap. Com, they have a list of UA schools. If you have a list of 10, 15 local schools that you recruit from, it's worth checking to see whether those schools are there on that list. Then you just take a look at their program. How many students do they have? What's the mix of majors? How involved are the faculty? What courses are involved in that? Lastly, as Megan said, the certifications. You're looking at that holistically and bringing that all together, and that's where you get some of those unique views.   [00:16:19.160] - Tom McGinnis The faculty oftentimes go along for the ride because they see the interest in those programs. It's a great way of getting that synergy involved. I think that's the thing I want to stress. It's the combination of faculty organizations and the students. That's what really brings this home as a value prop for everyone involved.   [00:16:44.870] - Mustansir Saifuddin For sure. I think this subject is such a vast subject, and we can keep on going, but we do have a time limitation. I'll try to wrap this up. Just looking at all the discussions we had so far and what we covered, what is the one key takeaway that you want our listeners to go with?   [00:17:10.720] - Meagan Knoll In preparing and talking and getting this topic on the top of our minds, the one takeaway that really stood out to us is that old adage of, You reap what you sow. So the more involved that you are in that synergy of students and faculty and organizations the more that your connection and your internship possibilities, your young career possibilities will flourish.   [00:17:39.870] - Tom McGinnis There's opportunities out there for companies to harvest these diamonds in the rough, we call it. Fantastic performers that are sitting there in school not quite knowing what they want to do yet, who are going to really flourish in the right environment. It's just getting those folks together and seeing the value on on all their sides. And oftentimes, I see organizations not taking advantage of this because they have some self-imposed barrier to entry in this recruiting scheme. And there's nothing there. It's a simple call to Career Services to find out who on campus could I talk to and going from there. Or it's leveraging your current grads and whatever alumni associations you have in your company, using them to go out and recruit on campus. So there's a lot of low-hanging fruit that's there for people to take advantage of. Yeah, and I think I would like to sum it up with this is almost like a matchmaking   [00:18:45.870] - Mustansir Saifuddin You have the right set of talent on both sides, right?   [00:18:51.530] - Mustansir Saifuddin In our business, looking for individuals or teams that they want to bring into their fold. And the university is looking at placing these young individuals into a system where they can flourish and they can get a sense of what they are getting into. And it seems like the UA program allows them to do both of it in a way that interaction starts so much earlier than any other program where you are doing the book study versus not having that real-life exposure. I really appreciate you guys coming together and sharing your thoughts on this.   [00:19:38.430] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thanks for listening to Tech Driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. Meagan and Tom shared valuable insights on how IT firms can leverage the University Alliance program. Their main takeaway, the more involved that you are in that synergy of students, faculty, and organizations, the more impact the program will have.

Megan Knoll and Tom McGinnis, long-time collaborators and educators, joined me to share how the University Alliance Program is helping shape our skilled workforce and benefiting students, educational institutions, industry partners, and SAP. It's all about building a valuable talent pipeline.   [00:00:28.810] - Mustansir Saifuddin So how are you guys?   [00:00:38.400] - Meagan Knoll Well.   [00:00:39.200] - Tom McGinnis Thank you. Very well, thanks.   [00:00:41.830] - Mustansir Saifuddin So I know the topic from today's session is building your talent pipeline. And I know it's a wild subject, but I try to keep it to a few points that make sense in terms of how our listeners interact with our podcast. So if you guys are ready, we can get into our questions.   [00:01:05.990] - Meagan Knoll Sounds great.   [00:01:06.500] - Tom McGinnis Let's get started. Let's go.   [00:01:08.420] - Mustansir Saifuddin All right. So I know talent pipeline, big word, a lot of different things that goes along with it, but let's focus on a couple of things. Can you describe the University Alliance as it applies to SAP and the SAP customers and partners ecosystem? Absolutely.   [00:01:31.680] - Meagan Knoll The University Alliance is a program that was initiated by SAP, and the whole idea was to foster collaboration between educational institutions like the universities and trade schools, SAP itself, and then SAP customers and partners. What we like to think of for the University of Alliances is that it is a conduit for knowledge transfer that will help prepare students to become skilled professionals in the SAP area. It's a global initiative that has over 3,500 educational institutions, and that spans over 113 countries.   [00:02:18.810] - Tom McGinnis From a customer perspective, it gives an avenue. It allows companies to work with their local schools, because often times universities are struggling with what content to provide that's meaningful to the local community when it comes to job skills and with systems work. Companies can help identify what those requirements are and the skills that they value and help set those realistic goals for the graduates. And from a school's perspective, it's the target market that they're working with. So the whole idea of having this conduit back and forth allows both sides to get what they need out of the relationship. Collaterally then, everyone gets other benefits outside of the University Alliance, a variety of different ways that we'll probably end up talking about in a few minutes.   [00:03:12.440] - Meagan Knoll One of the other points when it comes to the SAP University Alliances is that there's a lot of collaboration and making sure that students and partners can both participate in things like conferences, meetings, workshops, boot camps, certifications. It really helps to make sure that our students are skilled to the point they need to be to jump right into that talent pipeline.   [00:03:40.340] - Mustansir Saifuddin Now that's a great explanation about the University Alliance. Thank you. Let me ask you this, how long has been this University Alliance around in terms of your interaction, both of your experiences, goals?   [00:03:57.820] - Meagan Knoll I have been interacting with the University Alliance for about 17 years now.   [00:04:03.680] - Tom McGinnis And for me, close to 15 years.   [00:04:07.050] - Mustansir Saifuddin Wow, it's quite a long time. Okay. So that leads me into my next question. Especially, we're talking about talent. University Alliances, coming from a customer's perspective, what can SAP customers and partners expect from this program? Can you elaborate on that?   [00:04:25.830] - Tom McGinnis Yeah, everyone gets a little bit different benefits out of it. The major stakeholders, as you said, the business community, the academic community, and most importantly, from our perspective, the students. From a business perspective, their impact on the school, I don't think organizations appreciate how much impact they can have on their local schools because they're looking for guidance, they're looking for help when it comes to what to offer students. The partnerships that are forged with companies and the local universities provide a variety of benefits out of that. Companies also, from an internal standpoint, get visibility at school so that their own organizations can see opportunities for upskilling employees, working with researchers at universities, and that partnership really builds. From the school's perspective, it's almost like self-marketing. They're working with these organizations, and it's a front-facing thing, where now these companies have a face on campus, and that means a face in recruiting. That's a face for research, a face for value generation that helps the university move along. And of course, with students, it's the networking. Students struggle. They struggle hard with meeting companies and getting their foot in the door with these social networks, professional social networks.   [00:06:00.830] - Tom McGinnis The UA program is a shot in the arm for them for that. It helps them meet people that they want to interact with and start slowly gaining that understanding of what an organization does. Again, it leads to other peripheral things. There's a lot of internships that come out of the UA, and that allows companies to test drive students in a manner of speaking, but also the students get to test drive a company and see what organization they'd like to work with. Ua schools are a great place for organizations to get interns because they're ready to hit the ground running when they're done with their coursework. So there's a great variety of things that benefit all three parts of that group.   [00:06:49.850] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah. It's going to be very interesting term you mentioned that it seems like a mutually beneficial for all parties involved in terms of... Especially, I think one thing that I really liked about your observation is everybody gets a test drive, right? You get to know the employer versus the employers get to know the students and the university being in the middle trying to engage these different parties into a common platform, right? So, Meagan, from your perspective, how have you seen this work? What's your perspective on this?   [00:07:28.900] - Meagan Knoll From an education standpoint, I have seen the great collaboration that has come between industry partners, SAP Proper, and then also the universities in the University Alliances. There is a wealth of information that's provided by these companies when it comes to adapting new technologies, giving students hands-on opportunities to work with these new technologies, and it also helps to encourage and support faculty-led research. Not only are we looking for benefits to the students, but also benefits in making the research aspect of working and having that environment where we have that pipeline of students versus our students going to our employers, it all comes together as a nice symbiosis.   [00:08:26.720] - Mustansir Saifuddin Makes sense. No, definitely. Let's talk about from a different angle. Lessons learned when you're working with employers, how can they be successful?   [00:08:38.590] - Tom McGinnis Well, that's a good one.   [00:08:40.300] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, for sure.   [00:08:42.340] - Tom McGinnis Well, it comes back a little bit to what we were saying just a bit ago about that front-facing aspect. One of the things that we've seen with our students, and part of it is the demographics of the student today, but if they don't know an organization, they tend not to go out of their way to recruit at that organization. They like whatever they know and they stick with it. Well, for companies that don't have an end consumer product, they're at a disadvantage. Those people who make intermediates, they make the product that goes into other products, our students don't know them, and the company is not on the radar during recruiting. With a program like UA, they're seeing how everything is made behind the scenes. A lot of UA schools also—and I do plant tours and things like that as part of the curriculum to get folks onto the shop floor, let's say, and see how SAP is really used there. Breaking down that barrier, if you will, or informing the students of who's out there, that's a big change in the opportunities for a company to recruit. And that's probably one of the biggest things I've seen come out of UA programs is the visibility of the company in front of the students has greatly increased compared to traditional courses.   [00:10:05.800] - Mustansir Saifuddin I think I really love that aspect of it. It seems like there is a conduit into how a student is starting from an education point of view, but then getting to real life earlier than they expect to. I mean, this engagement through the UA program allows them to experience way upfront, which makes it easier when they actually get into the real work-life, right? So it seems like a very powerful tool that allows them to be ahead of the competition. I mean, there's always companies looking for talent, but talent that comes with education upfront about themselves, about the organization where they're maybe potentially working in the future.   [00:10:58.270] - Meagan Knoll Absolutely. We have noticed that there not only is that reduced onboarding time because they have those skills and they're ready to hit the ground running, but there's also the opportunity to develop the talent. It's not uncommon for students who are part of the university alliances to intern at a company, then possibly work part-time at a company, and then become full-time hire as soon as they graduate. You can start to develop that talent in a specific way that meets your needs of your organization.   [00:11:33.790] - Mustansir Saifuddin Yeah, for sure. And that is the key point, right? How do we get that engagement going early on? So now taking a little deviation from our UA part of it, but on a personal level, you both have been an educator for quite some time. Taking it back to the University Alliance, what is the aha moment that you would experience over the past few years? And you can go, Tom, you can start and then Meagan, you can follow up with what are your experience is. I'd love to share that with our listeners.   [00:12:15.910] - Tom McGinnis Well, it's funny the way you said that, because for me right now, it's going through the list of aha, moments. There's not just one. There are a couple of them. There was one moment for a Midwest company. This is a company that was in Minneapolis. They had to change the way that they hired new hires and students because they brought on a student who was doing SAP work, coursework, as an intern his sophomore year in school. They liked him so much, they brought him in for another internship the following summer. When he graduated, of course, he applied for a position there and they gave him a position, but he had worked there so long already they couldn't hire him as a new hire. He was actually in a different salary bracket. When you have a student that's that valuable before they've even finished their coursework, that's a big aha moment on what a UA program does for the student's skills. The other big aha moment is when I take a look at the students in my classroom, and I'm MIS faculty, Management Information Systems, you would think the course I teach predominantly has MIS students in it.   [00:13:35.970] - Tom McGinnis But my biggest SAP classes, my MIS students are in the minority in the class. It's usually other disciplines, supply chain management, marketing, accounting. It shows, I think, the value that other disciplines place on SAP skills and what those organizations are then doing to the recruiting at our college. Yeah, there's a lot of aha, moments.   [00:14:01.580] - Meagan Knoll I think the biggest aha moment for me was a very rewarding experience. A couple of years ago at Sapphire, I was able to sit in on a session in which one of our former students was presenting as the subject matter expert. That was only three years after she had graduated from our program. Knowing that the roles were reversed and I was able to learn from her, just like she had learned from me in the classroom five years earlier, was a great aha moment and a great feeling that our program does make a difference and that we could really bolster up that talent pipeline and really have students who are ready to hit the ground running to make valuable impacts for any organization that they're hired at.   [00:14:49.470] - Mustansir Saifuddin Great example. Thank you for sharing that. I think one thing I would like to add to this is being an SAP professional for over 20 years and working with different industries and different customers, one thing is very clear to me, and that is the talent that comes out of the UA program. I mean, the example that you used, Meagan, about someone this early in the career getting on a stage, something like a Sapphire conference, a huge opportunity and a huge gathering of customers and partners and folks who are learning more about SAP. And this is a moment for a student that just came out of this program and getting into the workforce, be able to share what they've learned on this stage. I think that is great. And especially, Tom, your examples speaks for itself, right? I mean, you're looking at as an organization, customers looking for talent. But when the talent is that well developed early on and they are able to get into the organization, start running from the get go. I mean, that's what a lot of these companies are looking for. They want to have employees who are ready, who understand the culture, who can adapt to the applications, to the technologies that they're using.   [00:16:22.160] - Mustansir Saifuddin So it's a happy ending from both angles, right? So great examples. Thank you. Well, I know we talked about a bunch of things in our session, so that takes me to my last question. And this is one takeaway that I always like our listeners to have with them after every session. Based on all that we have covered so far, what is the one key takeaway that you would want our listeners to leave with?   [00:16:56.560] - Meagan Knoll I would say that the one key takeaway that I want listeners to leave with is an expanded knowledge that this program does exist. It may not be at your fingertips at this time, but just the knowledge of knowing that the University of Alliance is out there and is promoting and producing this talent, is something to maybe tuck into your back pocket and revisit at another time and really reach out to a UA school in your area.   [00:17:26.980] - Tom McGinnis To echo that, I think it's about engagement. A company needs to reach out in this day and age to find the resources it needs. The UA is a great place to reach out to, but you also want to reach out to your local schools. Even if they're not in the UA program yet, your interest in UA coursework may push them in that direction. And it's that interaction that I really want to see organizations do, is get out there with their local schools and start that conversation. The worst thing that could happen is that you don't find the resources that you want. The best thing that can happen is you find these diamonds in the rough that you can then use and use them to recruit even more diamonds in the rough. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.   [00:18:21.530] - Mustansir Saifuddin No, great examples, and I think that's the key, right? I mean, you have the opportunity and you have the means to get to this great program that has been around. And how do we get the word out? So folks who are looking, folks who may be looking in the future, folks who never even heard about it, this is an opportunity for them to avail this, at least explore the options and see what is out there in terms of what UA can do for them. And we'll look forward to having you both on our next session, where we'll dig more into the details of the University ofAlliance program. So thank you.   [00:19:02.180] - Tom McGinnis Thank you. Thanks for having us.   [00:19:09.410] - Mustansir Saifuddin Thanks for listening to Tech-driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. Meagan and Tom shared valuable insights on how partners can come together in building a talent pipeline. Their main takeaway? Know that the University Alliance is out there and reach out to your UA school in your area. It's all about engagement and finding these diamonds in the rough that can help build a talent pipeline.

We're taking a short break here at Stupid Sexy Privacy. We'll return Thursday, May 4th, with our final four episodes. But we didn't want to leave you empty-handed. Today, Amanda King (co-author of "How to Protect Your From Fascists & Weirdos") talks with Professor Uri Gal. Uri is a professor of Business Information Systems at The University of Sydney.In this bonus episode, Amanda talks with Professor Gal about the real challenges and ethical issues surrounding the use of Generative AI (or as we call them, Exploitative AI) software.It's not your job you need to worry about. Generative AI produces C-level work, at best, and almost all of that work is stolen/plagiarized from other people's work without their permission or consent. The real threat is what happens when you flood the entire Internet with BS, to the point where people can't tell up from down anymore and don't trust each other.That's an Avengers-level problem, and one we need to solve immediately since ...

Charlton A. Holt is a native of Birmingham, Alabama, and an alum of Tennessee State University where he received his cum laude bachelor's degree in Business Information Systems. Charlton is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, Beta Omicron Chapter. After graduation, Charlton worked 8 years as a Quality Assurance Engineer for a local Birmingham IT Consulting and Marketing company and was previous owner of Echo Lounge, before accepting a call into ministry in 2012. After attending Highlands College for ministry, Charlton moved to West Palm Beach to step on staff as a Pastor at Christ Fellowship. He started as a youth pastor and now works officially with what he calls “the big kids”. Prior to taking on the assignment of “the big kids”, Charlton served in the capacity of Student (Youth) Pastor for over 4 years. He has had the honor of presenting the gospel not only in the United States, but in countries such as Croatia, Honduras, Haiti, and Bolivia. Also, through his Christian leadership journey Charlton served as an overseer for Oasis Church, in Nashville, Tennessee. Charlton recently relocated back to Birmingham in October of 2022 and now serves as a Pastor at the Woodlawn location of Church of the Highlands. When asked about the theme of his life Charlton would entitle it “From the club to the church.” Charlton shares how the power of this theme is the manifestation of how GOD can completely change the trajectory of your life if you allow him through surrendering. Charlton always shares how he has a huge passion to see the lives of middle and high school students saved, redeemed, and transformed by the love and message of Jesus Christ. He is passionate about relationships, ministry, and physical health also. Charlton feels that GOD has created each of us uniquely. He feels that through our uniqueness we can impact the world. Charlton states that his major desire is to equip the body of Christ through the word of GOD, so that the body of Christ can meet the needs of the world. If you were to ask Charlton why he said yes to the call on his life, he would simply say, “Heaven and hell is real, whenever and whatever I can do to make the name of Jesus famous across the world I am willing to do.” He seeks to remind believers and nonbelievers that GOD is not limited to a prayer, nor is He focused on your sins alone. GOD desires your heart, that through salvation He can establish a relationship with you, and you can enjoy the gift of eternal life. Charlton is married to Allison and has 1 daughter named Charlotte who is the joy of his world. Charlton sums up life in a simple sentence, which is Matthew 6:33, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need”.

Mike Malone is a nerd from way back (his words, not mine). In the 6th grade, he bought a Borland C book and learned how to code. Back when Napster was round, he hosted an open Nap server in his basement, and ran a few things on IRC. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a Business Information Systems degree, and worked for Accenture for a hot second... then joined a 3 person startup, and hasn't looked back since. He's married with 2 kids, and a dog - and he claims he collects hobbies, which is another way of saying he likes to try new things.Mike's career has tracked along side the development of the cloud. He witnessed the security problems alongside distributed systems, and felt the pains of having to manage sensitive information. He and his team saw an opportunity here, and set out to fix the problem.This is the creation story of Smallstep.SponsorsAirbyteDopplerHost.ioIPInfomablLinksWebsite: https://smallstep.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mmalone/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A conversation with Dr Christoph Breidbach. He is a Senior Lecturer in Business Information Systems at the University of Queensland. - Der Begriff Bitcoin ist in aller Munde. Neben dem traditionellen Geld- und Finanzsystem mit Währungen wie dem Dollar oder Euro, gibt es seit einigen Jahren auch vollkommen digitale Währungen - sogenannte Kryptowährungen. Dr. Christoph Breidbach ist Leiter für den Bereich Wirtschaftsinformatik an der University of Queensland und versucht ein wenig Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen. Der Experte für Blockchain-Technologie erklärt die Geschichte der bekanntesten digitalen Währung Bitcoin, versucht mit einigen Mythen aufzuräumen und gibt seine persönliche Einschätzung zur Zukunft der Technologie und Digitalwährungen.

Elon Musk droht seinen Mitarbeitenden mit der Kündigung, sollten sie nicht ins Büro zurückkommen. Microsoft setzt auf den Wohlfühlfaktor: Mitarbeitende können arbeiten, wann und wie es für sie am besten ist. Aber welcher Weg ist denn nun richtig? Viele Unternehmen stehen derzeit vor der Frage, ob ihre Arbeitnehmenden weiterhin regelmässig aus dem Homeoffice oder von anderen externen Arbeitsplätzen als dem Büro arbeiten sollen, können, dürfen. Die Meinungen gehen stark auseinander. Deshalb widmen sich Khalil und sein Gast Hartmuth «Hardy» Gieldanowski in der heutigen Folge des InnoPodcast dem hybriden Arbeiten. Hardy ist Lead Innovation & Customer Experience Coach bei der Schweizerischen Post. Aufmerksame Hörerinnen und Hörer erinnern sich vielleicht noch aus Folge 8 des InnoPodcasts, «Agilität einfach erklärt», an ihn. Unter hybridem Arbeiten wird allgemein der Mix aus der Arbeit vor Ort im Büro und der Arbeit am Computer von einem durch die Mitarbeitenden selbst gewählten Ort verstanden. Es geht also darum, wer wann von wo aus seiner Arbeit nachgeht. Klar ist, dass in den letzten Jahren ein Wechsel stattgefunden hat: weg vom starren Büroalltag hin zu mehr Flexibilität. Daran wird sich gemäss Studien und dem Anspruchsdenken gerade jüngerer Arbeitnehmer*innen auch nichts mehr ändern. Aber wann ist es denn tatsächlich sinnvoll, digital miteinander zu arbeiten und wann sollten Meetings unbedingt physisch stattfinden? Muss ein Workshop am Flipchart durchgeführt werden? Gehören Mitarbeitenden-Gespräche in das nächstgelegene Sitzungszimmer? Und wie können auch Mitarbeitende ohne Bürojob hybrid arbeiten? All diesen und noch mehr Fragen gehen Khalil und Hardy in dieser Folge nach. Eines sei vorweggenommen: schwarz-weiss-Denken ist heute nicht mehr angebracht. Hartmuth Gieldanowski hat einen Masterabschluss von der Fachhochschule Solothurn-Nordwestschweiz in Business Information Systems und einen von der Universität Duisburg-Essen in Educational Media. Nachdem er drei Jahre in StartUp für Hosting und Webdesign geleitet hat, war er mehrere Jahre in verschiedenen Unternehmen im Bereich der IT tätig. 2010 hat er dann seine IT-Kenntnisse mit seinem jetzigen Arbeitsbereich verbunden und bei der PostFinance als BA/Agile Coach angefangen. Nach einem Abstecher zur Swisscom und dem Swiss Federal Office for Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication ist er seit 2017 wieder bei der Post und ist seit Januar 2021 Lead Innovation & Customer Experience Coach. Für die Hörerinnen und Hörer, die die bei der Post beschäftigt sind, hier noch der versprochene Link auf die Test-Card des EspaceLab: https://espacelab.co/39LdNZb Der InnoPodcast geht in die Sommerpause.

Meet Tehmina Sunny, British, Indian and American. Her charm, wit & curiosity makes her an actor's actor, a director's actor and a crew's actor. She has portrayed memorable characters in Emmy award winning TV shows, Golden Globe nominated productions & Oscar winning movies. But really, Tehmina Sunny is the same little girl that once dreamed of one day acting. Not for the fame, but because as an actress she is a storyteller. Born in London, her passion for the arts was developed at an early age. She received a scholarship for playing the violin, Viola and piano. With no previous training she was a finalist for the BBCs cross-country search for acting talent. Sunny put her artistic dreams aside and attended the University of Leeds in England, where she studied Business Information Systems with an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. This combined with marketing and business studies earned her a Bachelor of Science degree with honors. After graduating, she worked for Richard Branson's Virgin corporation. But soon after a UK acting agent persuaded her to embark in the entertainment industry as an actress.  Sunny has also taken the helm as a producer and is developing a TV series called ‘The Spaceman' and feature films The Right Man?, 92nd Street & Elliot.  You can currently watch Tehmina in Chicago Med and Pandora.

Freight Forwarding Catches Up with Sharm Chelliah Sharm Chelliah and Joe Lynch discuss the topic, "freight forwarding catches up" which refers to the recent technology advancements made in freight forwarding that has enabled it to offer a customer experience and visibility on par with tech-enabled 3PLs and freight brokers. About Sharm Chelliah Sharm Chelliah is a Global Account Executive at Flexport, a digital freight forwarder, and customs broker. Sharm is laser-focused in achieving Flexport’s goal to make global trade easy and accessible to everyone with total visibility. With 15 years of experience in Healthcare, Retail, Supply Chain, Consumer Packaged Goods, Insurance, and Automotive industries and having delivered enterprise solutions to companies such as Coco-Cola and Home Depot, Sharm approaches each customer on their own merit, He maps out their unique supply chain requirements to deliver a customized platform that gives control to each client in an ever-changing operational environment.

An avid golfer, Sharm’s way of unwinding is at a golf course. About Flexport Flexport is a freight forwarding and customs brokerage company based in San Francisco, California. Flexport is the first international freight forwarder and customs brokerage built around an online dashboard. Flexport was first to market with purpose-built cloud software and data analytics platform, Flexport today serves more than 10,000 clients in over 100 countries, offering a full range of services, including ocean, air, truck and rail freight, drayage & cartage, warehousing, customs & compliance, financing, and insurance – all powered by Flexport’s software platform.

We have warehouses in Los Angeles, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Chicago. Flexport is #8 on Inc. 5000, a list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. Key Takeaways: Freight Forwarding Catches Up Freight forwarding technologies and systems have lagged behind the tech-enabled 3PLs and freight brokers. One reason for the disparity in tech is the differences in the businesses. Freight forwarding is much more complex than domestic transportation. Each freight forwarding shipment involves many more companies, people, borders, languages, and cultures than the average domestic freight shipment. Because of the extra players, distances, timezones, and hassles, developing a system that would connect the far-flung operations was tougher. Today, freight forwarders like Flexport provide a system that enables their customers to enjoy the experience, automated functionality, visibility, connectivity, and speed of communication that is the hallmark of the best tech-enabled 3PLs serving domestic freight customers. The best freight forwarders are now able to deliver the following: Ability to manage by exceptions using filters. Predictive transit times with confidence levels. Easy to use, intuitive customer interfaces that improve communication and collaboration. Search functionality on a variety of attributes including part number, order number, invoice, customer name, etc.. Email functionality within the system so all communication is connected to the system of record. This functionality encourages faster, more useful collaboration around the shipment.

Dr. Zhen Sullivan, Professor of Business Management and I talk the new generation of entrepreneurs. She teaches Entrepreneurship to students at Kean University in New Jersey. We talk about many things including:A new startup culture out thereWe are in an innovation driven economyBig ideas and why sometimes they are smallThe essentials of business are social media and the internetBudding and aspiring entrepreneurs "expect the internet to be so fair, to be such an enabler and equalizer, and it's part of the ingredients; they are very essential."She offers two nuggets of advice for budding entrepreneurs:Know the industry before you start a business in it. Consider working for another company in the industry first before diving in. Be ready to eat cans of beans! And just beans! Entrepreneurs have to do it all, and give up a lot in the process, including time and food. We also dive into why she thinks writing a business plan is an essential part of planning a business.If entrepreneurs are looking for funding, they need to back up why investors should invest.Understand the planning process. Creating a business plan she says is like a "car inspection." It is a "comprehensive review which can expose blind spots and weaknesses."Dr. Sullivan says, "entrepreneurs tend to be very brave and take risks; they jump into action." I can definitely relate to that one. Take a listen to see what scares and excites the new generation. Publications: Zhen Z. Sullivan, Patricia J. Holahan, and Jing Ma.

Welcome to the third, and final instalment of Dapnee's incredible story. In Part 1 of Dapnee's story, we talked about what was going on her 17-year-old life: she had recently graduated high school and had been accepted into a dream university, she wanted to study physics and saw a future as a research scientist, and she had moved into the dorms and started college life. She was excited to begin the next chapter, and the future looked bright.  Things then took a turn and she told us about the night she got raped at a college party, how the Police handled the situation (terribly), and what happened in the weeks following the rape. In Part 2 we learned about how she discovered she was pregnant three months after the rape, and although she was shocked and scared, it also brought hope and light into a time of her life when she was at her lowest, how she made the decision to keep the baby, being a pregnant teen, suffering from PND, life as a new single mum, and so much more.  Part 3 is the final instalment of our chat. Just when you think things could not have got worse for Dapnee, they did. We talked about how struggling financially led Dapnee to put in a claim for child support, and how this resulted in the unthinkable. Her rapist filed for custody of her daughter.  Dapnee did everything she could, but ultimately the court ruled that he had a right to his daughter. Dapnee faced co-parenting with her rapist. Dapnee shares: What it was like going to court all alone and facing her rapist and all his family, how she has struggled to be able to tell her loved ones her story, how law enforcement has continued to let her down, how motivated she is to finish her studies and to get her degree in Business Information Systems, the struggle she feels in being able to relate to other 23-year-olds after what she has been through, dating again and meeting her boyfriend,  what is next for Dapnee, and so much more.  “When all the odds were against me, you gave me a reason” ~ Unknown. I have been so honoured to share Dapnee's story over the last three weeks. One that she has never told completely to any of her loved ones. It is a sad story, but Dapnee brings strength, beauty, and bravery, and she is now in a really good place. Dapnee is a true inspiration. She is a go-getter, she is positive, she has drive, she is unstoppable.  *Please note this episode and topic may act as a trigger for some people, and this episode is not suitable to listen to within earshot of children.* Links mentioned in the episode: It is advised to listen to Part 1 and Part 2 first.

This week on the Big Tech Show, Adrian Weckler looks at 5G not from the point of view of speed or connectivity but health. It's been an issue bubbling under, in rural areas especially, as to whether mobile phone radiation is safe. The regulators say it is but there are some campaigners who don't believe that is so. Are they mere conspiracy theorists or is there more to it? To find out, Adrian spoke to Tom Butler, Prof of Business Information Systems at UCC, who believes in the dangers, and Prof Kevin Curran from the School of Computing at Ulster University, who believes that if the dangers were as bad as people were claiming it wouldn't have gone unnoticed.

Mr. Samuel Nyiendo, Lecturer at the Multimedia University of Kenya and Riara University Mr. Samuel Nyiendo has over 30 years experience in computer-based training and courseware development. When he is not teaching, he is pursuing a PhD in Business Information Systems at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology. Nyiendo currently holds a Masters in Information Systems Technologies from the United States International University of Africa, Nairobi, Kenya. In this Lecture, hosted from Nairobi, Nyiendo discusses how Piazza has helped remedy some of the challenges facing instructors and students in Kenya where obstacles caused by economic, social, political and technological barriers have created a vast Digital Divide in education between the developing world and industrialized nations. Looking for ways to improve student engagement, Nyiendo first discovered Piazza while watching another lecturer on YouTube. Created with accessibility as a priority, Piazza is a free platform for instructors and students and is available to use on any device. In cases where there may be a shortage of technological or financial resources, including computers, internet bandwidth, or budget cuts, Piazza can be used on mobile devices, allowing students to connect with their instructors and classmates without any major barriers. Piazza’s accessibility allows Nyiendo to interact with his students outside class time, allowing students to engage with their coursework anywhere and anytime. With Piazza, Nyiendo is able to track a student’s ‘digital footprint’ and can therefore better address individual progress and needs. This is especially important in class environments where a gap in computer skills exists between groups of students. Since adopting Piazza, Nyiendo has received significant positive feedback from students and maintains high student enrollment and retention in his courses. Nyiendo hopes his learnings on using Piazza to bridge the digital divide in Kenya can be applied across the African continent, and to other areas that struggle to make education accessible for all. Even in the developed world, many of the same challenges he faces are present: budget cuts to education initiatives, distance learners, and students who are disengaged in their classes because of social or economic reasons. Nyiendo concludes his lecture with the idea to use Piazza as a forum to create a global community of teachers and learners to share best practices and methodologies for making education accessible for all.

A Technology FoundationFred Tuomi was born in Minnesota, and went on to attend high school and college in Georgia, receiving a B.A. in Business Information Systems and a Masters in Business Administration from Georgia State University. While working for the Computer Sciences Corporation doing consulting, Fred connected with John Lie-Nelsen of Consolidated Capital and Johnstown Properties. This opportunity led to Fred creating the very first automated, apartment management system.“The idea was, let's use these things called computers that make everything more efficient and increase productivity… Let's put it where we have most of our people. To really get the benefits of productivity enhancement, you have to make as many employees as possible productive, not just a few back at the home office.”When the Tax Reform Act of 1986 killed the real estate limited partnership business, Fred connected with John Williams and John Glover of Post Properties, and then eventually was invited to join Equity Residential by Doug Crocker.Equity ResidentialFred and his family moved from Atlanta to Chicago, where he became President of Property Management at Equity Residential.“We were trying to build two things. One was a uniform platform that was highly efficient… Second thing was to build a company culture.”Fred shares how Sam Zell, Founder, and Chairman of Equity Residential (see our interview with Zell in Season One of Leading Voices), influenced and shaped its culture. Under Zell's vision for acquiring irreplaceable assets, the company's goal evolved from a gross asset accumulation model to a highly refined portfolio and operational platform. Technology also played a critical role throughout the business, including in revenue management, allowing them to study the relationship of supply and demand in a way that hadn't been possible before.Entering and Exiting RetirementIt wasn't long after Tuomi retired to spend more time with his grandkids and family, that he was approached by Tom Barrack and Justin Chang of Colony Capital. They wanted his advice on translating his apartment management strategy to the single-family rental business. While many doubted that a long-term ownership and management platform for the single-family market was possible, Fred was able to bring his experience from rolling up assets in the multifamily business and over time saw the business coming together with efficiencies and metrics comparable to the apartment industry. Each asset was bought with an eye on the long-term growth of stabilized income streams which meant that with the various mergers of the Waypoint, Starwood, Colony and Blackstone Invitation Homes portfolios, the footprint didn't just get wider, it got more deep and dense, improving efficiency. Technology in the hands of the consumer and the front line employee also made these efficiencies possible.“We are now running 2,200+ homes from one centralized property management team similar to an apartment property office. In terms of headcount to assets, we are much more efficient than the apartment business. But we have to employ a lot more technology to bridge that gap.”The Future of the MarketFred sees Millennials entering the housing market society's increased longevity as signposts for long-term market growth, and emphasizes the importance of developers stimulating the housing supply if we don't want pricing to increase.
