Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally. It causes more than 800 deaths in the UK each year. Yet 99.8% of cervical cancer cases are entirely preventable. Regular screening and the introduction of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination are helping to reduce the number of deaths. With smart policy and public health interventions NHS England have set 2040 as the target date for total elimination of cervical cancer. If that goal is to be met the issue of health inequality needs to be addressed; currently screening and vaccination rates vary between different regions, communities and socio-economic groups. So what needs to be done to share best practice and narrow these inequalities? In this episode of Spotlight on Policy, host Zoe Grunwald is joined by Emma Cerrone, Business Unit Director for Public Health & Vaccines at MSD; Dr Adeola Olaitan, Honorary Associate Professor at University College London and Honorary Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist at UCLH; and Gayathri Kumar, Senior Economist at OHE, the Office for Health Economics.

Welkom allemaal bij een nieuwe aflevering van onze podcast met de missie de online automotive beter maken. Vandaag gaan we dat doen in het engels, want we hebben namelijk een gast uit de UK Andrew Shields van INDICATA. We gaan het hebben over de gebruikte automarkt, over de elektrische automarkt zowel nieuw als gebruikt zoals Tesla dat heeft gedaan. En we gaan het hebben over de omloopsnelheid van auto's, hoe je dat met data kan zien en hoe dat beter kan.   About Andrew Andrew is 56 en zit meer dan 30 jaar in de auto-industrie. Hij begon jaren geleden te werken bij een autofabrikant. Hij werkte een tijdje voor een online retailer, die groeide van 300 auto's naar 1000 auto's per maand. Dat was in 2007-2008. Daarna heeft hij zijn eigen adviesbureau opgezet, wat heel leerrijk was, waarbij hij keek naar de botsende culturen tussen het Nederlandse en het Zweedse bedrijf, en naar de uitdagingen om het bedrijf vooruit te helpen. Hij raakte snel betrokken met de financiële kant van het bedrijf en echt interessante projecten, en dat deed hem besluiten om in de consulting te blijven. Andrew is verantwoordelijk voor alle wereldwijde activiteiten van INDICATA. Op dit moment is INDICATA actief in 13 Europese bedrijven. Hij zorgt voor alle verkoopteams in alle landen. Andrew is ook verantwoordelijk voor de schraapactiviteiten, dus ze hebben 2300 robots die elke dag 11 miljoen auto's schrapen, met behulp van A.I. om het te analyseren en te begrijpen, prijzen en markttrends samen te stellen, enz.   Recognize the details De auto's kunnen dezelfde details hebben, zoals hetzelfde kenteken of dezelfde modelleeftijd. Hoe kunnen de onderdelen worden herkend van elkaar na het schrapen? Het bedrijf heeft meer dan 3 miljoen euro uitgegeven aan een A.I. systeem. Daarmee kunnen ze het modeljaar van het voertuig herkennen aan de vorm van de lampen of de positie van de mistlampen. Dat gaat tot in die granulaire details, waardoor ze de gegevens voortdurend correct kunnen krijgen.   Slot Dat was het, een nieuwe podcast samen met Andrew Shields van INDICATA. INDICATA maakt deel uit van de Autorola Groep en zijn wereldwijd marktleider op het gebied van realtime marktdata. Met deze data kunnen autodealers op het gebied van occasionstrategie, marketing, prijsbeleid en kapitaaloptimalisatie een stap voor blijven.

Consultants often help clients think about complex problems with few easy answers. There are almost always trade-offs to be made, regulations to follow, expenses to incur all while trying to run a business and make a profit. One of the most complex issues involving tough decisions is around how best to utilize business (or national) resources in a manner that ensures the business (or nation) can continue to grow and thrive in a way that doesn't negatively impact everyone else. Are you an oil company looking at how you'll be in business in 40 years if no one is buying gasoline or oil-based plastics? What alternative product lines should you be looking at? Are you a search-engine giant that uses more electricity than some countries to power your data centers? How do you supply that business need without causing brownouts? Solar? Wind? Fusion? Are you a Northeastern Pennsylvania-based mid-size paper company that uses a lot of trees? Perhaps finding a way to make your product from fast-growing varieties like bamboo instead of old-growth oak is a good way to ensure your business can continue to make product into the future. Decisions... some forced by the State, some forced by shareholders, others just good business planning, others perhaps totally altruistic. Sounds like an opportunity for a consultant looking to make a difference. I gathered my friends to discuss Sustainability and opportunities in that space. Along with Oliver Cronk, Whynde Kuehn and Phil Yanov, I was joined by Jonathan Gibbard who is a Business Unit Director for Sustainable Infrastructure & Operations at Ricardo Energy & Environment in the UK. In this Episode: What do we really mean by Sustainability? What is driving companies to invest in Sustainable practices? What is the state of the Sustainable Consulting industry? Where are there career opportunities in this space for new or experienced consultants? What does a consulting engagement look like that deals with Sustainability? Who has the worst middle-name combo, Chris or Oliver? Add your thoughts to the conversation on LinkedIn or YouTube. Be sure to sign up for email updates whenever we post new content.

Locations include California, Nevada, Ohio, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mexico, and China. The Longmont location has about 150 employees across multiple shifts. These are some key points taken from my interview with the Business Unit Director at the Longmont, Colorado location, Jon Good. Starting in 2008 they made significant improvements, but they were unable to sustain their efforts because management wasn't totally supportive. In 2018 they realized it was time to re-invigorate their Lean journey because of additional employees and the intensely competitive nature of their industry. They now have management buy-in and have been on a consistent monthly basis for the last 2.5 years. The goal is to increase “ease of business and make the place easier to run,” according to Jon. Some of the initial struggles are people's pre-conceived notions and time commitments. “We learned that it is easier to free up people using shorter, two-day events.” “Eliminating the count-back process saved the company $150,000 in the first year.” “Because we have many people involved in the events, I have seen some talents from employees I might not have seen before. If we get everybody involved, it spreads like wildfire.” “Make sure that you have management support and find a consultant that you can trust to keep you on track.” To hear Jon's interview please join us on the podcast at https://americanlean.com/podcast (Americanlean.com) episode 117.
