This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Carolyn Lee, President of The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce development and education affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers. Carolyn grew up in a manufacturing family on Long Island and spent years on Capitol Hill before taking the helm of the MI in 2017. Tammy and Carolyn dig into the widening gap between AI adoption at the executive level and awareness on the shop floor, and why closing it is the defining challenge for American manufacturing right now. They also unpack the fear factor driving resistance to change and Carolyn announces the forthcoming AI for Manufacturing 101 curriculum to help manufacturers who are at risk of falling behind.

On this episode of The Buzz, Scott Luton is joined by special co-host Dr. Muddassir Ahmed and special guest Anthony Reeves, Vice President of Global Brand & Creative at Kohler and author of Eat the Donkey: Why Great Companies Embrace Discomfort. Together, they explore the realities of AI adoption, decision-making optimization, innovation, leadership, and what separates organizations that thrive from those that struggle to keep pace. As supply chains continue to evolve in the age of AI, organizations face critical decisions about technology adoption, data quality, change management, and leadership. Scott, Muddassir, and Anthony examine why many AI initiatives fail, what companies can learn from both successes and setbacks, and why strong decision-making remains one of the most valuable competitive advantages. The conversation also explores the growing importance of human connection, brand differentiation, organizational culture, and the willingness to embrace discomfort in pursuit of long-term growth. Drawing on experiences from Amazon, Kohler, Starbucks, and other global brands, Anthony shares powerful lessons on innovation, leadership, and staying true to what makes an organization unique. Key Takeaways: AI success depends as much on adoption, change management, and leadership as it does on technology. High-quality, contextualized data remains the foundation for effective AI implementation. Organizations must learn from failed initiatives just as much as successful ones. Soft skills, emotional intelligence, and human connection will become increasingly valuable as AI handles more routine work. Strong brands remain differentiated by purpose, customer experience, and authenticity—not technology alone. Great leaders make difficult decisions early rather than delaying action until opportunities have passed. Whether you're leading a supply chain transformation, evaluating AI investments, or building a stronger organization, this episode offers practical insights from leaders who have navigated innovation at the highest levels. You'll walk away with actionable advice on decision-making, change management, leadership, and creating organizations that can thrive amid constant disruption.

In this episode of CRO Spotlight, Warren Zenna sits down with MK Marsden, CEO of Sales-Sleuth, to diagnose the root causes of the modern B2B sales crisis. They explore how the shift toward cheap, automated mass communication has eroded buyer trust and forced buyers to rely on independent research. As buyers become increasingly overwhelmed by digital noise, revenue leaders must fundamentally rethink their outbound approaches.The conversation tackles the systemic issues created by misaligned software solutions and arbitrary key performance indicators. MK argues that treating complex sales relationships as a series of isolated events—measured by clicks, opens, and call volumes—has detached sellers from true relationship building. When finance teams and software engineers dictate sales metrics, organizations lose sight of genuine buyer satisfaction.To counteract this dysfunction, leaders need to empower their teams with deep insights before a conversation ever occurs. The discussion shifts toward leveraging advanced sales intelligence platforms that analyze public buyer signals, eliminating the need for cold discovery calls. By equipping sellers with accurate data regarding a prospect's technical environment and immediate needs, companies can level the playing field.Ultimately, restoring effectiveness in sales requires a commitment to long-term value over instant gratification. Warren and MK highlight the challenges newly appointed revenue leaders face when balancing immediate expectations against the time required to genuinely turn a strategy around. They conclude by discussing how measuring long-term impact and sustained trust is the only sustainable path forward for modern businesses.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Sezin Palmer, AI Solutions Leader at NTT DATA in North America. Sezin traces her impressive and unconventional journey from CIA analyst and Navy submarine warfare programs to building the National Health Mission area at Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Lab from scratch, then leading health AI and data at EY. Tammy and Sezin dig into the democratization of AI and what it means that capabilities once locked behind years of data science training are now accessible to nearly anyone. They also discuss the thorny challenge of how organizations decide what not to build and why the hardest leadership problem right now isn't launching AI, it's knowing when to stop. Sezin also shares her vision for what has her most excited: the convergence of software, robotics, and biology.

Feeling a bit flat in your business? You're not alone. In this Quick Tip episode, Fiona explores why losing motivation doesn't mean you're failing, and how to tell the difference between a temporary slump and a genuine sign that something needs to change.

How to use your past wins, client feedback and "evidence" to challenge the stories your brain tells you during a tough patch.

Supply chain is evolving rapidly and AI is changing how decisions are made. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton, Karin Bursa, and Jake Barr talk with Mike Griswold, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, about the key insights from the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium. They explore how supply chain leaders can leverage AI to improve operational efficiency, redesign workflows, and enhance decision-making to remain competitive in the coming years. They discuss the importance of cross-functional initiatives, storytelling for CSCOs, and understanding where technology fits as an enabler rather than the solution. The episode breaks down strategies for shifting supply chain operations toward autonomy, including optimizing decision velocity, redesigning critical workflows, and applying AI thoughtfully to reduce manual handoffs and eliminate inefficiencies. Listeners gain insight into how to balance growth, cost, risk, and talent, and why CSCOs need to communicate their strategic value effectively within the C-suite. The conversation also highlights real-world examples of organizations leveraging technology to enable their workforce, not replace it, and emphasizes the potential of agentic AI in planning and disruption management. Together, the panel explores why focusing on decision stacks and workflow design is critical for AI readiness, how to prioritize high-impact areas for operational improvements, and why relying solely on technology without a defined problem can lead to missed opportunities. They provide guidance for supply chain professionals on preparing for the future of planning, autonomous operations, and AI-enabled decision-making, illustrating the massive potential for efficiency gains and strategic advantage over the next several years.   Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (04:07) AI adoption challenges and budget concerns (06:41) Avoiding siloed implementation of AI (08:56) CSCO influence and strategic storytelling (10:24) Autonomy as the new operating model (15:45) Technology as an enabler, not a driver (20:00) Decision stacks and workflow redesign (27:42) Planning summit highlights and upcoming events (34:28) Agentic AI market potential by 2030   Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Mike Griswold: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-griswold-6a68922/ Connect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa/ Connect with Jake Barr: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-barr-3883501/ Learn more about Gartner: https://www.gartner.com/en Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

You Don’t Need a Business Transformation…you need a YOU Transformation Ever feel like you're doing all the “right” things—reading the self-help books, checking off your goals, grinding every day—but inside, you're still wrestling with the exact same anxieties? You aren’t broken; you’ve just hit the ceiling of what your current self can handle. Real, lasting change requires more than just adding new habits to your daily routine; it demands a total identity transformation. If you are ready to stop merely managing your symptoms and start evolving who you are at your core, it is time for a radical internal upgrade. Today on A New Direction, Coach Jay dives deep into this psychological frontier with cutting-edge mindset expert and best-selling author, Dr. Ryan Gottfredson. We are breaking open his latest, game-changing book, Becoming Better: The Ground Breaking Science of Persona Transformation. Dr. Gottfredson bypasses the usual self-help clichés to deliver the actual, hard science behind vertical development. He will show us how to achieve a deep mental transformation that rewires our internal operating systems for unprecedented success and peace. In this powerful conversation, you will discover why traditional willpower consistently fails and how your hidden mindsets are secretly sabotaging your growth. Dr. Gottfredson will reveal the neurological and psychological blueprints necessary to shed your defensive armor, heal old wounds, and accelerate your personal transformation. This isn’t a superficial conversation about doing more; it is an exploration of how to fundamentally alter how you see yourself and the world from the inside out. Do not miss this chance to experience a life-altering transformation in real-time. Join us right here on A New Direction with Coach Jay to catch every insight, absorb the science, and discover the keys to unlocking your next level. Your old self has taken you as far as it can—it is time to step into the ultimate transformation and meet the person you were actually meant to become.

Just click here for the assessments. Ryan Gottfredson’s Book, “Becoming Better: The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation” is a life changing book that will be transformational for your business.  You may be asking how can that be?  Because the fact is your business success is limited by your personal success in life.  And when you are broken (which we all are) we are never going to be as successful in life and business until we start our journey of healing from the inside out. Dr Gottfredson likes to use the analogy of our brain and reactions, and mindsets and thinking as an operating system.  That operating system has coding from birth to now.  So, anything that we react to our coding kicks in and we respond in a way that can damage our success.  So, the fact is our operating system really needs to be recoded, the problem is we don’t want to do the hard work to do it. But here is the irony.  When we have problems in life and business what do we typically do?  We try to find ways we can “do” our way out of something.  We may go to a conference to go new ways of “doing” things.  That all sounds great but let’s take the analogy one step further.  Think of it this way.  If you download another app on your phone to help you “do” something, but your operating system coding (IOS) is screwed up, and is a mess, how effective is that app… it’s not. And no transformation. That’s the point of Becoming Better.  Until you change the coding from the bad coding in your past all the “do this” and “do that” are nothing more than great apps on a horribly written operating system. And your business and life transformation is at a stand still. The brilliance of the book is that not only does Dr. Gottfredson address these issues he gives you the science behind them and offers the small building blocks and steps to start erasing the bad code in your operating system and writing new code.  But it is not easy.  And I am speaking from my own experience here.  When you realize just how much trauma in your past (that you will deny, like I did) and how it has affected your coding, you will see how much success you can achieve. Please get a copy of this book Becoming Better and do the work!

ABOUT YOUR HOST Meet Jay Izso Executive Performance Coach  |  Host of A New Direction Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance. The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Abhijit Sunil, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research, where he leads flagship research programs on IT sustainability, sustainability management, and climate risk. Abhijit traces his remarkable journey from designing robotics labs at IIT Bombay to consulting at Ericsson and McKinsey, before landing at Forrester where a flood of client questions about data center efficiency set him on the path to sustainability research. He shares how volunteering as a teacher in Mumbai's slums profoundly shaped his worldview—giving him a lens for seeing optimization and sustainability as deeply human issues, not just technical ones. Tammy and Abhijit also dig into the double-edged nature of AI, from its staggering energy demands to its extraordinary potential to democratize access, and why the answer to almost every big question in sustainability lives somewhere in the Goldilocks zone between extremes.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATA.Links: Abhijit Sunil Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Realities Remixed, formerly known as Cloud Realities, launches a new season exploring the intersection of people, culture, industry and tech.Today's most pressing challenges arise from the collision of rapid technological change with deepening economic inequality, weakening democratic systems, geopolitical instability and accelerating climate pressure, leaving world leaders wrestling with how to govern and solve these deeply interconnected crises.This week, Dave, Esmee and Rob are joined by Dex Hunter-Torricke, Founder & President The Center for Tomorrow to explore how tech can solve world macro issues. TLDR00:33 – Introduction00:40 – Hang out: The Boys on Amazon Prime final episode (spoilers) 06:02 – Dig in: How to solve world macro issues? 07:45 – Conversation with Dex Hunter-Torricke 44:52 – Writing a book and meeting world leaders GuestDex Hunter-Torricke: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dextb/https://www.centerfortomorrow.com/ HostsDave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Esmee van de Giessen:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/Rob Kernahan:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/ ProductionMarcel van der Burg:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcel-vd-burg/Dave Chapman:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/ SoundBen Corbett:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-corbett-3b6a11135/Louis Corbett:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-corbett-087250264/ 'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In this episode of the CRO Spotlight podcast, Warren Zenna hosts Kris Billmaier, EVP & GM of Agentforce Sales at Salesforce to discuss how the traditional CRM interface is rapidly evolving, shifting revenue teams from manual data entry to autonomous workflows. We explore the transition toward headless CRM and how AI agents are automating administrative tasks, allowing sales professionals to focus on direct customer engagement and high-leverage closing activities.Modern chief revenue officers must transcend traditional sales leadership to become comprehensive revenue architects. The conversation highlights the necessity of breaking down operational silos to integrate sales, marketing, and customer success into a unified engine. By leveraging conversational insights and predictive data, CROs can build highly predictable forecasts, accurately define ideal customer profiles, and design frictionless deal cycles.We examine the tangible deployment of AI within the sales funnel, specifically focusing on how automated prospectors are redefining the business development phase. By assigning agents to previously ignored leads and automating initial outreach, organizations drastically expand their pipeline capacity. This shift requires human representatives to transition into management roles, overseeing hybrid teams of both human talent and automated systems.Sustained business growth relies heavily on post-sale customer advocacy rather than endless top-of-funnel acquisition. We analyze why revenue leaders must prioritize retention and customer success as core growth mechanisms. By gathering intelligence from renewed accounts and deploying agents to follow up on deferred buying cycles, companies create a compounded data loop that continuously refines targeting and scales revenue efficiency globally.

In this episode of the CRO Spotlight podcast, Warren Zenna sits down with Mark Roberge of Stage Two Capital to dissect the inflection points of scaling a go-to-market team. They explore common pitfalls founders face when hiring a revenue leader. Mark emphasizes aligning a candidate's background with the company's maturity stage rather than focusing strictly on brand-name resumes or simple industry experience to ensure a highly effective hire.The conversation shifts to defining the responsibilities of a Chief Revenue Officer. Warren and Mark distinguish between someone managing a traditional sales function and an executive capable of architecting a comprehensive revenue engine. They discuss why forcing a standard sales leader into a transformational role fails. True growth requires a leader who breaks down silos across marketing, sales, customer success, and revenue operations.Mark outlines his predictions regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on the broader go-to-market landscape. He describes a phased evolution where AI initially optimizes selling time and coaching, eventually transitioning to autonomous agents handling the buying and selling processes. This technological shift will force companies to rethink standard organizational boundaries to maximize system efficiency and maintain a competitive advantage.The episode concludes with a discussion regarding mental health in the executive space. Mark explains his decision to dedicate his recent book's proceeds to mental health initiatives, addressing the lingering stigma in professional environments. By discussing his experiences, he highlights the absolute necessity of humanizing leadership. Both agree that addressing these challenges directly creates stronger, more resilient corporate cultures.

In this episode of the CRO Spotlight podcast, Warren Zenna sits down with Neil Weitzman, Founder of weitzmanGTM, to tackle the fractional CRO debate head-on. They examine the friction between the theoretical appeal of fractional leadership and the gritty reality of executing it. The conversation highlights why early-stage companies often need foundational builders rather than traditional executives, and where the fractional model fits.A central point of contention is the issue of accountability. Warren and Neil debate whether a fractional leader can truly own a revenue target when they are not in the building full-time. Neil argues that while fractional CROs can build systems and drive pipeline, demanding full-time metrics from a part-time partner is a recipe for failure, emphasizing the need to align expectations with the actual scope of the engagement.The discussion shifts to the push and pull between what founders want and what they actually need. Founders often demand immediate sales traction, while a fractional CRO knows a sustainable go-to-market engine must be built first. Neil shares blunt insights on navigating these misalignments, avoiding toxic setups, and ensuring the fractional role serves as a bridge to eventual full-time leadership rather than a permanent crutch.Finally, they explore how the debate intersects with the evolving nature of the CRO role itself. Whether full-time or fractional, modern revenue leaders must adapt to an increasingly complex landscape driven by artificial intelligence. By integrating AI to automate repetitive tasks and refine outbound strategies, fractional leaders can punch above their weight, driving efficiency and leaving behind a scalable system for the next full-time hire.

Enrique Ibarra, CIO and Head of Business Transformation at GNP, Mexico's largest insurance company, walks through an enterprise-scale pilot of autonomous software development involving roughly 1,000 internal and external developers. The episode examines how agentic AI changes developers' roles from creators to editors and orchestrators.In CXOTalk episode 918, Ibarra explains why AI co-pilots alone were insufficient to modernize a 20-year-old mainframe system, how GNP evaluated the Blitzy autonomous development platform across four real-world use cases, and how developer roles are shifting from creators to editors and orchestrators.

How to turn latent motivation into fuel for change.If you want to be a changemaker, you'll have to convince others to join your cause. But according to Dan Heath, persuading your audience isn't about creating new motivation — it's about leveraging the motivation that's already there.“The most important fuel for any change effort is motivation,” says Heath, the number-one New York Times bestselling author of Reset: How to Change What's Not Working. Instead of struggling to persuade people to want what you want, Heath suggests finding where your goals overlap with the things they already desire. "Before you even get to persuasion, if you can just tap and unleash the energy that's already there, you've already catapulted yourself toward success,” he says.In this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heath and host Matt Abrahams explore how to create more compelling communication using “leverage points,” or as Heath says, “where a little bit of effort yields a disproportionate return.” Whether getting buy-in from one teammate or achieving change across an entire organization, Heath shares practical tips for turning latent motivation into an engine for change.Episode Reference Links:Dan HeathDan's Books: Reset: How to Change What's Not WorkingDan's Podcast: What It's Like To Be Ep.190 Motivation Matters: How to Leverage What People Already WantEp.49 Make Numbers Count: How to Communicate Data Effectively  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:59) - The Power of Storytelling (07:09) - Crafting Powerful Stories (12:08) - Finding Great Stories (15:27) - Leverage Points For Change (18:39) - Wasted Resources & Motivation (23:06) - Latent Desire in Systems (25:15) - The Role of Systems in Communication (29:04) - Communicating Progress (32:26) - Lessons from Hosting a Podcast (34:58) - The Final Three Questions (43:00) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.
