Podcasts about Business transformation

It's about transforming user interactions into ongoing insight and innovation, rooted in empathy and understanding.  This week, Dave, Esmee and Rob talk to Kevin Magee, Chief Technology Officer at All human about helping organizations transform customer experiences with a focus on design, engineering, and what is called "digital performance."  TLDR:00:41 Introduction of Kevin Magee with Guinness or sparkling water?03:23 Rob wonders, is Apple really opening up its ecosystem?11:40 Deep dive with Kevin into design, engineering, and digital performance36:30 How tools built for one purpose can transform entire systems48:35 Weekend city breaks and pursuing a master's in psychology  GuestKevin Magee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinmagee/ HostsDave Chapman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chapmandr/Rob Kernahan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-kernahan/Esmee van de Giessen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeevandegiessen/ 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/ 'Cloud Realities' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Micah Remley, CEO of Robin Powered, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of hybrid work. They explore how data-driven approaches can transform workplace culture, boost productivity, and help companies thrive in a post-pandemic world where flexibility and connection are more important than ever. Key Takeaways: [2:06] Hybrid work is here to stay, but a one-size-fits-all solution doesn't work—companies must use data to create meaningful in-person experiences. [6:53] Culture is the tie that binds organizations; remote and hybrid work have made it harder to maintain, but it's essential for long-term success. [17:19] Proximity to high performers in the office can boost individual performance by 15% due to emulation and peer pressure. [22:05] Flexible, unstructured hybrid models often fail—coordinated team days and intentional office use are key to making hybrid work successful. Quote of the Show [3:45]:"You're deeply passionate about what you're trying to disrupt... you feel it in your soul because you're putting yourself out there, trying to move the needle." – Micah Remley Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In der 54. Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau spreche ich mit Daniela Rittmeier darüber, wie Unternehmen mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz Prozesse beschleunigen und intelligente Produkte entwickeln können. Was genau hat es mit der sogenannten Datenwertschöpfung auf sich? Wie können Unternehmen diese erreichen? Welche Voraussetzungen sind dafür nötig? Und um welche Art von Werten geht es überhaupt? Daniela gibt uns Einblicke in ihren Werdegang. Sie legte das Fundament für ihren beruflichen Werdegang in der Architektur – nein, nicht Software-Architektur! In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten übernahm sie Führungspositionen im Gesundheitssektor, in der Automobilbranche bis hin zu ihrem jetzigen Job in der IT. Aktuell leitet Daniela den Generative AI Accelerator bei Capgemini, einem europäischen Unternehmen, das weltweit erfolgreich Business Transformation und Technologieintegration umsetzt. Welchen Einfluss das Aufwachsen in den neuen Bundesländern und im Start-Up ihrer Eltern spielte, verrät sie ebenfalls.  Wir erfahren, wie Daniela Karriere, zwei Kinder und Ehemann unter einen Hut bringt (Spoiler: Augen auf bei der Partnerwahl!) und warum gesellschaftliche Veränderungen dringend nötig sind, damit mehr Frauen den Weg in Führungsetagen finden. Außerdem besprechen wir, was es mit der berüchtigten gläsernen Decke auf sich hat, gegen die Frauen häufig stoßen, und warum die Investitionen in Diversität gerade heute ganz besonders wichtig sind. Diese Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau ist in Kooperation mit der Women of Tech Conference 2025 entstanden.

O of elevaite365, leads a company at the forefront of AI-driven test automation for Microsoft Dynamics 365. With decades of hands-on experience in ERP implementations, he and his team built elevaite365 to solve the challenges of constant change, complexity, and testing inefficiencies in enterprise software. In this episode, Magnus joins John Siefert to define a new category, AI-powered test automation, and explore how it's transforming implementation success, business agility, and the future of cloud ERP systems.Reimagining ERP with AIThe Big Themes:AI Test Automation Is a New Software Category: AI test automation not just a better version of traditional testing, it's an entirely new approach. With frequent updates, integrations, and customizations, ERP systems outgrow static methods. Platforms like elevaite365 define a future where testing is adaptive, autonomous, and business-aligned. This shift changes how organizations approach quality assurance, transforming it from a back-end task into a front-line innovation enabler.AI Testing Drives Tangible Business Outcomes: The shift to AI-powered QA isn't just a technical improvement—it delivers real business value. Perri and Siefert explore outcomes like faster go-lives, lower project costs, reduced QA workload, and quicker time-to-value. These results matter to senior executives, who face mounting pressure to drive both innovation and efficiency. Elevaite365's platform supports these goals by automating repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and scaling effortlessly. What used to be a cost center (testing) is now a growth lever.AI Test Automation Builds Ecosystem-Wide Agility: AI testing isn't just about IT: It transforms the entire enterprise ecosystem. When testing improves, so does everything connected to it: systems integration, customer experience, compliance, internal workflows, and delivery speed. The agility gained through elevaite365 extends beyond QA teams. It empowers cross-functional teams to move faster and take more calculated risks.The Big Quote: “What truly sets elevaite365 apart isn't just that it's faster or more robust… it's that we eliminate the typical roadblocks—there are no limits on users, scripts, or environments."

Steve and Nicole challenge the status quo in how leaders approach AI, talent development, and organizational design. From leveraging AI to unleash human potential (not just cut costs), to building learning-centric cultures that attract and retain top talent—even in a world of short tenures and ever-evolving skills—this is essential listening for leaders ready to thrive in the future of work.

Leaders that invest in employee learning build true loyalty and adaptability. AI is More Than Automation: Most companies only use AI to cut costs or replace jobs. Its real power lies in redefining work, solving new problems, and unlocking human creativity. Ask the Right Questions: “How can we use AI to rethink our work altogether?” opens far more potential than “How do we do this same process faster?” Hidden Talent Is Everywhere: Most organizations don't know the full extent of their people's skills. AI can help surface and map internal capabilities, opening up new pathways for growth and engagement. Experimentation Over Benchmarks: There are no established playbooks for this new era. Leading organizations experiment constantly—and learn quickly from the results. Retention is Out, “Returnship” is In: Rather than focusing on keeping people forever, forward-thinking companies build relationships that welcome alumni back and track who returns and why. Hire for Learning Agility: Technical skills expire fast; the ability to learn quickly is now the most sought-after trait in hiring and promotion. Break the Boxes: Job titles and prior roles excessively limit talent. When employees' true capabilities are surfaced, internal mobility and innovation soar. The Joy of Newness: Growth, engagement, and breakthrough innovation come from giving employees new challenges—even if they stretch comfort zones (and tenures are short). Reclaiming the Human Side of Tech: Leaders should use AI and digital tools to create more meaningful, joyful work experiences—not just greater efficiency. Ready to future-proof your organization?
