OverviewThe promise of digital advertising was precision: right message, right person, right time. No waste. But here's the uncomfortable truth, while we've been obsessing over hyper-targeting, consumer behaviour has already shifted without us. 90% of Canadians now consume CTV. Less than 50% still have cable. And 60% of their time is spent on the open web, not walled gardens.The question isn't whether CTV matters. It's whether we're measuring it correctly, or optimizing ourselves into invisibility.About Vince is the Head of DSP Sales at Yahoo Canada, where he works closely with the country's top agencies and brands to achieve their marketing goals through Yahoo's advanced programmatic advertising platform. A 25+ year advertising veteran, Vince has deep expertise in programmatic, CTV, and data-driven media. He previously launched AdTheorent in the Canadian market and is an active voice in the Canadian digital advertising community through IAB Canada.LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/vincesimoneTimestamps00:00 - Intro - The unification challenge for marketers01:25 - Guest intro - Vince Simone, Yahoo02:32 - What's different about this moment in CTV04:05 - The evolution of CTV data - from freebie to foundational06:04 - TV is now just "video" - the pipe goes everywhere08:01 - Programmatic as the unifier - Samba partnership10:01 - The cost waterfall problem - fraud, duplication, inefficiency12:17 - What people misunderstand about DSPs (it's decisioning, not bidding)13:37 - Buzzword that needs to die: "Hyper-target"15:22 - The promise of digital vs. the reality of reach17:05 - Reverse engineering the customer journey18:52 - Is CTV actually about scale, not precision?20:21 - The persona trap - seeing people as fractions of themselves24:23 - Suppression lists vs. over-engineered targeting29:07 - Consistency as the multiplier across linear, CTV, digital31:18 - Dynamic creative optimization vs. many cuts34:00 - The 60/40 split - CTV in no man's land37:15 - The one metric to stop obsessing about: Last click39:07 - How the best marketers layer MMMs, lift studies, and last click42:10 - The "remove the logo" test for distinctiveness44:22 - Over-optimizing before campaigns settle46:00 - Dashboard updates vs. business data timing46:56 - What excites Vince: AI agents, Netflix inventory, unified systems49:20 - Where to find VinceShow LinksSleeping Barber Podcast: 8 Fundamentals of Effective Marketing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlJVEd9YXag&list=PL8Dcu1vikGN38ABGV4iuRQV1GmaAMvUSQ&index=1Yahoo DSP: https://www.yahooinc.com/our-solutionsIAB Data Label: https://iabtechlab.com/press-releases/iab-tech-lab-finalizes-data-transparency-standard-compliance-program-to-advance-data-collection-best-practicesANA Programmatic Transparency Benchmark https://www.ana.net/content/show/id/pr-2025-08-programmatictrans

Send a text“Boutique” has become a popular buzzword in the salon industry. But most of the time, it describes how a salon looks, not how it operates.In this episode, we break down what boutique actually means and why changing your aesthetic isn't enough to create a boutique experience. We talk about intentional client matching, curated services, smaller teams, stronger leadership, and why boutique salons aren't built to serve everyone.We also share lessons from rebuilding our own salon after the flood, how focusing on what you can control changes everything, and why protecting your culture, your team, and your client experience matters more than chasing buzzwords.A boutique salon isn't defined by plants, crystals, or décor.It's defined by clarity, standards, and intentional leadership.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.KEY TAKEAWAYSBoutique is an operating philosophy, not an aesthetic.You don't have to serve everyone to build a successful salon.Intentional client matching creates better outcomes.Smaller, curated teams create stronger alignment.Leadership clarity creates stability for staff.Systems should be designed intentionally, not copied.Protecting experience builds long-term loyalty.Buzzwords don't build businesses — structure does.Focus on what you can control and ignore the rest.Culture and intentionality define real boutique salons.TIME STAMPS00:00 — Opening + episode overview 01:00 — Jen's opening take: learning to release control 04:00 — Focus on what you can control 05:30 — The Bean Soup lesson explained 08:30 — Business update: rebuild timeline and return date 12:00 — The problem with salon buzzwords 13:00 — What boutique usually means vs what it should mean 15:30 — Boutique client experience and intentional matching 17:30 — Curated services and product selection 19:30 — Boutique teams vs large staff structures 22:00 — Culture, hiring, and alignment 24:00 — Leadership clarity and communication 26:30 — Systems built intentionally for your environment 28:30 — Protecting client experience over filling chairs 30:30 — Why not every client should be yours 32:00 — Closing thoughtsLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Lean, agil oder Six Sigma – klingt nach Methoden-Bingo, ist aber in Wahrheit eine Frage von Haltung, Reifegrad und echtem Bedarf. Katharina Geistmann und Michael Habekost räumen gründlich auf mit Buzzwords und Missverständnissen rund um Prozessoptimierung, Lean Management, Agilität und Six Sigma. Denn wie oft heißt es: „Wir wollen Lean einführen“ – und eigentlich ist gemeint: „Unsere Prozesse laufen nicht rund.“ Genau da setzen die beiden an. Sie erklären, warum Prozessoptimierung oft das ist, was Unternehmen wirklich brauchen und weshalb „Lean eine Management-Philosophie ist und keine Methodensammlung“. Es geht um Wertströme statt Silodenken, um Kundennutzen statt Excel-Erfolge und um die unbequeme Wahrheit, dass „ein Prozess keine Probleme lösen kann – das können nur Menschen“. Agilität wird eingeordnet, Six Sigma entmystifiziert und klar gesagt, warum „Kanonen auf Spatzen“ selten die beste Idee sind.

Ty Wang, cofounder and CEO of Angle Health, breaks down what it means to give back through public service, then shows how that same mindset drives his mission to modernize healthcare for small and midsize businesses. We get into why legacy health plans feel opaque and painful, what an AI native health plan actually changes behind the scenes, and how better data and workflows can create real cost stability for employers.Ty shares his path from a federal scholarship and national service work to Palantir, and why he chose one of the most regulated, least glamorous industries to build in. If you have ever wondered why healthcare feels impossible to navigate, or why renewals can blindside a company, this conversation will give you a clear mental model of the problem and a practical view of what modernization looks like when it actually ships. Key TakeawaysHealthcare feels broken because the infrastructure is fragmented, data is siloed, and even basic questions become hard to answer across inconsistent systemsModernizing healthcare is not just about a new app, it is about rebuilding the operational core so workflows, claims, underwriting, and member experience can run on integrated dataSmall and midsize businesses are hit hardest by cost volatility because they lack transparency, predictability, and negotiating leverage, yet health insurance is often a top line item after payrollA strong approach to regulated markets is collaborative, treat regulators as partners in consumer protection, not obstacles to work aroundMission and impact can be a recruiting advantage, especially when the technical problems are genuinely hard and the outcomes touch real people fastTimestamped Highlights00:40 What Angle Health is, and what AI native means in a real health plan02:05 The scholarship path that pulled Ty into public service and set his trajectory04:06 The personal story behind the mission, the American dream, and why access matters09:38 Why healthcare infrastructure is so complex, and how siloed systems create bad experiences11:33 Why SMBs get squeezed, and how manual administration blocks customization at scale13:20 The real pain point for employers, cost volatility and zero predictability before renewal16:55 Why the tech can expand beyond SMBs, but why the SMB market is already massive19:51 Lessons from building in a regulated industry, and why credibility and funding matter22:26 Hiring for high agency, mission driven talent in a world full of AI companiesA line that sticks“Unless you are lucky enough to work for a big company, these modern healthcare services are still largely inaccessible to the vast majority of Americans.”Pro Tips for tech operators and buildersIf you are modernizing a legacy industry, start with the infrastructure layer, fix the data model, integrate the systems, then automate workflowsIn regulated markets, build relationships early, show how your product improves consumer outcomes, and make compliance a design constraint, not a bolt onWhen selling into SMBs, predictability beats perfection, give customers a clear breakdown of what drives costs and what they can controlWhat's next:If this episode helped you see healthcare and legacy modernization more clearly, follow the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and subscribe so you do not miss the next conversation.

"AI First" – oft nur ein Buzzword in Powerpoint-Folien, aber selten gelebte Realität. Viele Unternehmen kaufen Lizenzen, aber die Mitarbeiter nutzen KI höchstens, um eine E-Mail zu formulieren. Das ist zu wenig.In dieser Folge von Unf#ck Your Data spreche ich mit Felix Schlenther, Gründer von AI First. Felix zeigt uns, warum der klassische Ansatz "Wir suchen jetzt Use Cases" oft scheitert und stellt seine Methode "Use then Case" vor. Er erklärt, wie man Teams wirklich dazu bringt, KI als Hebel für Produktivität zu nutzen, ohne dabei im Daten-Chaos zu versinken.In dieser Folge erfährst du:Use then Case: Warum du Mitarbeiter erst in die Nutzung bringen musst, bevor du Use Cases definierst.Produktivität skalieren: Wie KI durchschnittlich 4 Stunden pro Woche und Mitarbeiter einspart und was du mit dieser Zeit anstellst.Service as a Software: Warum Geschäftsmodelle wie Beratungen und Kanzleien vor einem radikalen Umbruch stehen.People, Processes, Products: Der Dreiklang für eine erfolgreiche KI-Transformation.Viel Spaß beim Zuhören und "Unf#cking" deiner KI-Strategie!▬▬▬▬▬▬ Profile: ▬▬▬▬Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Felix: https://www.linkedin.com/in/felixschlenther/Zum AI FIRST Podcast: https://ai-first.ai/podcastZum LinkedIn-Profil von Christian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-krug/Christians Wonderlink: https://wonderl.ink/@christiankrugUnf*ck Your Data auf Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfck-your-data▬▬▬▬▬▬ Buchempfehlung: ▬▬▬▬Buchempfehlung von Felix: Autobiographie eines Yogi - Paramahansa YoganandaAlle Empfehlungen in Melenas Bücherladen: https://gunzenhausen.buchhandlung.de/unfuckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hier findest Du Unf*ck Your Data: ▬▬▬▬Zum Podcast auf Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ow7ySMbgnir27etMYkpxT?si=dc0fd2b3c6454bfaZum Podcast auf iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/unf-ck-your-data/id1673832019Zum Podcast auf Deezer: https://deezer.page.link/FnT5kRSjf2k54iib6Zum Podcast auf Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@unfckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Merch: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬https://unfckyourdata-shop.de/▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kontakt: ▬▬▬▬E-Mail:

Longevity ist kein neues Buzzword, sondern etwas, das uns Menschen enorm hilft, mit sich selbst sorgsam umzugehen, damit die Leistungsfähigkeit erhalten bleibt. Im Gespräch mit Prof. Dr. Carsten Bartsch diskutiert Barbara, warum nachhaltige Wirksamkeit zur Kernkompetenz moderner Führung wird – und weshalb erste Unternehmen bereits darüber nachdenken, sogenannte Longevity Manager einzusetzen, um Leistungsfähigkeit und Gesundheit systematisch zu fördern. Es geht um Stressphysiologie und Entscheidungsqualität unter Druck. Eine Folge über Verantwortung – nicht nur für Ergebnisse, sondern für langfristige Zukunftsfähigkeit.

Was passiert, wenn die klassische Agilität nicht mehr reicht? Wenn ein Team merkt: Da geht noch mehr – in Klarheit, Verantwortung und Wirksamkeit? In dieser Folge nehmen wir euch mit zu Multivac, einem international tätigen Technologieunternehmen, das den Mut hatte, seine eigene Organisation radikal zu hinterfragen. Wir sprechen über den Weg von agilen Teams hin zu einer konsequent nutzerzentrierten Struktur, über neu geschnittene Rollen, verteilte Führung bzw. Verantwortung. Das Highlight: Self‑Selection als Katalysator für Ownership. Vielleicht sind das die spannendsten Teile von Transformationen: der Übergang von "über mich wird bestimmt" hin zu "ich darf meinen Arbeitsfokus und meine Team-Zugehörigkeit selbst wählen". Ein ehrlicher Praxisbericht über Selbstorganisation jenseits von Buzzwords: mit echten Zweifeln, schlaflosen Nächten, überraschenden Entscheidungen und vielen Learnings für alle, die Organisationen nicht nur verwalten, sondern gestalten wollen. Über den Interviewpartner Simon Grotz ist Agiler Coach und Scrum Master bei Multivac. Vom Softwareentwickler kommend begleitet er heute auf dem Weg zu mehr Selbstorganisation, klaren Rollen und moderner Führung – mit viel Praxisnähe und einem starken Menschenbild. Über das Unternehmen Multivac ist ein weltweit agierendes Technologie- und Maschinenbauunternehmen mit Hauptsitz in Wolfertschwenden im Allgäu (Deutschland). Das Familienunternehmen beschäftigt rund 7'500 Mitarbeitende und gilt als Hidden Champion für Verpackungs‑ und Verarbeitungslösungen in den Bereichen Food, Medical, Pharma und Industrie. Multivac hat früh eine eigenständige Einheit für Digitale Produkte & Transformation aufgebaut. Diese Einheit dient nicht nur der Digitalisierung von Maschinen und Services, sondern auch als Experimentierfeld für neue Formen von Zusammenarbeit und Führung.

Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge des TPG Podcasts! 2026 steht im Projekt-, Portfolio- und Ressourcenmanagement (PPRM) nicht für „noch ein neues Buzzword“ – sondern für ziemlich konkrete Spannungen im Alltag: Mehr Komplexität, mehr Abstimmung, mehr Erwartungsdruck. Und gleichzeitig der Wunsch, dass es endlich wieder übersichtlicher wird. Genau darüber sprechen Johann Strasser und Dr. Thomas Henkelmann in dieser Episode: Welche Zukunftstrends sich in den letzten Monaten wirklich verdichtet haben – und was das für PMOs, Entscheider:innen, Projektleitende und alle Rollen im Multiprojekt-Umfeld bedeutet. Ein Schwerpunkt ist natürlich KI im Projektmanagement – allerdings mit einem nüchternen Realitätscheck: Der Ton wird weniger euphorisch, weil Kosten, Datensicherheit und der tatsächliche Nutzen stärker unter die Lupe kommen. KI wird mehr und mehr zum Werkzeug – nicht zur Wunderwaffe. Und dann geht es dahin, wo es in vielen Organisationen richtig weh tut: Ressourcenplanung. Nicht mehr die Frage „Brauchen wir das?“, sondern „Wie machen wir es so, dass es dauerhaft tragfähig bleibt?“ – zwischen Vollständigkeit, sinnvoller Granularität, klaren Rhythmen und echten Prioritäten. Außerdem schauen wir auf die Rollen im Projektumfeld (People, Process, Tools), auf Überforderung und Kommunikationsverluste im Arbeitsalltag – und darauf, warum das PMO vielerorts längst gesetzt ist, aber sich seine Aufgabe gerade neu sortieren muss: weg von „ob“, hin zu „wofür genau“ und „mit welchem Beitrag“. Wichtig noch als Hinweis: Diese Folge ist ein Zusammenschnitt aus dem Webinar „Die wichtigsten Zukunftstrends im Projekt-, Portfolio- und Ressourcenmanagement (PPRM)“ – den Link zum vollständigen Webinar finden Sie in den Shownotes.

In dieser Abschweifung geht es um große Worte – und das, was oft dahinter fehlt. Buzzwords, Fachbegriffe und vermeintlich kluge Konzepte begegnen uns ständig: in der Creator-Welt, in Selbstgesprächen, in Medien, Kommentaren und öffentlichen Debatten. Begriffe wie kognitive Dissonanz, Empathie, Transferleistung oder Kompetenz werden inflationär benutzt – oft ohne verstanden zu werden. Ich spreche darüber, warum Fachbegriffe Inhalte nicht ersetzen können. Warum klug klingen nicht gleich klug sein bedeutet. Und warum echte Transferleistung mehr ist als das Wiederholen auswendig gelernter Wörter. Diese Folge ist ein gedankliches Selbstgespräch über Denken, Zuhören und intellektuelle Ehrlichkeit. Über Selbstdarstellung, Scheinintellekt und die Frage, wie viel Substanz wirklich hinter großen Worten steckt – besonders in digitalen Öffentlichkeiten. Eine Abschweifung zwischen Medienkritik, Psychologie, Philosophie und Alltag. Ohne Belehrung, aber mit Klartext.

The term "omnichannel engagement" has become embedded in today's healthcare conversations. Yet the biopharmaceutical industry often approaches it superficially – treating it as a trendy buzzword instead of a meaningful strategy for connecting with the sector's two most vital audiences: patients and healthcare providers (HCPs). In this episode of the pharmaphorum podcast, developed in partnership with Reverba Global, editor-in-chief Jonah Comstock sits down with Cheryl Lubbert, co-founder and CEO of Reverba Global, and Carolyn Whiting, SVP of clinical and medical client services, to discuss how a thoughtfully executed omnichannel strategy can empower scientific experts to become effective communicators. Today's patients actively seek scientifically robust, yet accessible, information about their health conditions, and a well-integrated medical affairs strategy can help deliver that knowledge through the HCPs they trust most. However, bringing this vision to life requires forward-thinking strategies that build authentic connections, challenge conventional approaches, and dismantle the communication silos that frequently exist in healthcare organisations. Throughout the episode, Lubbert and Whiting share Reverba Global's methodology for authentic omnichannel engagement with patients and physicians, offering real-world examples and practical perspectives on navigating obstacles and establishing this evolved model.

In dieser zweiten Episode meiner CES-2026-Reihe geht es um Automotive, Mobilität und HMIs. Nach dem allgemeinen CES-Überblick der letzten Folge zoome ich jetzt hinein in Trends, Technologien und Produkte, die zeigen, wohin sich die Mobilitäts-Branche wirklich bewegt. Ich spreche über: - das Software-Defined Vehicle als neue Realität - den überraschend schnellen Fortschritt bei automatisiertem und autonomem Fahren - Voice AI, In-Cabin Sensing und humane HMIs als Schlüsseltechnologien - Android Automotive als Cross-Mobility-Plattform - neue UX-Narrative von BMW, Mikromobilität und Beyond-Car-Concepts - warum wir Peak Display vermutlich hinter uns gelassen haben Diese Folge liefert keine Buzzwords, sondern eine klare Einordnung der CES 2026 aus HMI-, UX- und Human-Factors-Perspektive. Hinweis: Wenn du die vorherige CES-Folge noch nicht gehört hast, starte unbedingt dort.

Exasol gehört zu den Software-Unternehmen, die lange unter dem Radar liefen – damit könnte bald Schluss ein. Das börsennotierte Unternehmen bietet extrem schnelle Datenbanken an. „Wir sind fünf- bis zehnmal schneller als die Konkurrenten – und das unabhängig von der Datenmenge“, erklärt CFO Jan-Dirk Henrich im Interview bei FINANCE TV. Hinzu komme eine selten gewordene Flexibilität: On-Premise, Private Cloud oder Public Cloud.2020 ist Exasol an die Börse gegangen. Kurz darauf erreichte die Aktie ihr Allzeithoch von 27 Euro – doch das ist lange vorbei. Seit mehreren Jahren stagniert das Papier bei rund 3 Euro. Der Grund: Nach dem IPO folgte eine ambitionierte, letztlich zu teure Expansion in den USA. Das Unternehmen habe sich sehr viel vorgenommen und ein paar Faktoren falsch eingeschätzt, räumt Henrich ein. 2021 stand ein Verlust von fast 30 Millionen Euro zu Buche. Die Konsequenz: Kosten runter, Cashburn stoppen, Strategie schärfen.Heute fokussiert sich Exasol auf regulierte Branchen wie Finanzindustrie, Gesundheitswesen, öffentliche Hand und Telekommunikation. „Dort ist Datensouveränität kein Buzzword, sondern Pflicht.“ Operativ zeigt der Kurswechsel Wirkung: Der Umsatz stieg 2025 auf knapp 42 Millionen Euro, das Ebitda auf über 4 Millionen Euro, 2024 war Exasol erstmals seit dem Börsengang profitabel.Trotzdem bleibt die Aktie träge. Einer der Gründe: fehlendes Wachstum bei den wiederkehrenden Umsätzen. Henrich spricht offen von einer „Talsohle beim Churn“, die nun durchschritten sei. Ziel sei es, wieder ins Netto-Wachstum zu kommen – unter anderem durch Referenzkunden wie LBBW oder Finanz Informatik sowie die Partnerschaft mit MariaDB. Seine Botschaft an Investoren ist klar: „All pieces are in place.“Warum das Thema Cloud gerade jetzt an Bedeutung gewinnen könnte, wie KI das Geschäft von Exasol verändert und wann die Aktie ihr großes Comeback feiert – mehr dazu im Interview bei FINANCE TV.

Storytelling is having a moment.But most brands are still telling stories that sound exactly the same.On this episode of Talking Tactics, Safy sits down with John Gorman, founder of Saint Orange, to unpack why “storytelling” has become marketing's favorite buzzword and how it lost its edge along the way.They get into what actually separates storytelling from narrative and copywriting, why higher ed marketing has been sanded down to beige, and how playing it safe is quietly killing differentiation. From building lore without blowing up your institution to measuring whether a story is doing its job, this conversation is equal parts strategic, cultural, and refreshingly honest.If you're a marketer who wants fewer buzzwords, better stories, and permission to take smarter creative risks, press play.Guest Name: John Gorman, Founder & Principal, Saint OrangeGuest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfgorman/Guest Bio: John Gorman is a strategist, writer, keynote speaker, and creative director living in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Viele KI-Initiativen scheitern nicht an Algorithmen, Modellen oder mangelndem Willen – sondern an der Basis. In dieser Folge von AI or DIE sprechen Andreas Wiener und Christian Bühler darüber, warum KI ohne eine sauber aufgebaute Daten- und Cloud-Plattform kaum eine Chance hat. Es geht um überzogene Erwartungen, Quick-and-Dirty-Leuchtturmprojekte und den fatalen Irrglauben, man könne KI einfach „on top“ auf bestehende Strukturen setzen. Christian erklärt, warum Begriffe wie Security, Resilienz, Performance, Operational Excellence und Kosten keine Buzzwords sind, sondern harte Voraussetzungen für produktive KI-Use-Cases. Die Folge zeigt klar: Ohne belastbares Fundament wird aus jeder KI-Idee eine teure Krücke. Wer jetzt nicht aufräumt, skaliert später nur Probleme. Eine ehrliche Episode für Entscheider:innen, die KI nicht nur ausprobieren, sondern nachhaltig nutzen wollen.  ⸻ Timestamps 00:00 – Einstieg: Warum KI-Initiativen scheitern 00:33 – Überzogene Erwartungen und falsche Annahmen 01:30 – Warum alte Cloud-Plattformen KI ausbremsen 01:50 – Was „well-architected“ wirklich bedeutet 02:34 – Die fünf Säulen einer belastbaren Plattform 02:59 – Für wen diese Leitplanken relevant sind 03:28 – Cloud-Zoo, Komplexität und Realität im Konzern 04:26 – Sicherheit & Cloud-Souveränität 05:06 – Datenplattform als Fundament für KI 05:15 – Resilienz, Verfügbarkeit & Governance 06:14 – Performance als Akzeptanzfaktor 07:24 – Always-on-Architekturen und Orchestrierung 08:19 – Wer ist verantwortlich: IT oder Fachbereich? 09:14 – Warum Fachbereichs-KI oft scheitert 10:15 – Budgets, ROI und Wirtschaftlichkeit von KI 11:20 – KI als Wette auf die Zukunft 12:29 – Was Resilienz technisch wirklich heißt 13:41 – Klassische Fehler bei KI-Plattformen 14:31 – Leuchtturmprojekte und „Quick & Dirty“ 15:11 – Die berühmte Krücke aus BI-Projekten 16:18 – Proof of Concept vs. produktiver Betrieb 17:20 – Welcher Tool-Stack ist „vernünftig“? 18:21 – SAP, Databricks & offene Architekturen 19:52 – Best-of-Breed statt Tool-Dogma 21:13 – Plattform vs. Mensch: Was ist wichtiger? 22:02 – Data Culture & echte Nutzung 23:04 – Online-Assessment: Standortbestimmung 24:35 – Klare Worte: Was Unternehmen jetzt tun müssen 26:07 – Ausblick: Sicherheit & nächste Folge 29:15 – Abschluss & Call to Action 29:40 – Ende der Folge

Selbstorganisation gilt als eines der großen Versprechen von New Work – und gleichzeitig erlebe ich in der Praxis viel Frust und Überforderung. Teams übernehmen keine Verantwortung, Entscheidungen werden abgesichert oder aufgeschoben und Führungskräfte fragen sich: Warum funktioniert das nicht? In dieser Folge zeige ich dir, warum Selbstorganisation aus meiner Sicht nur selten am Team scheitert – sondern fast immer an fehlender Ausrichtung, unklaren Strukturen und einem Missverständnis von Führung. Du bekommst Klarheit darüber, was Selbstorganisation wirklich bedeutet und welche Voraussetzungen erfüllt sein müssen, damit Teams Verantwortung übernehmen können. Eine Folge für Führungskräfte und HR-Verantwortliche, die Selbstorganisation nicht als Buzzword, sondern als wirksame Form der Zusammenarbeit gestalten wollen.

What if "healthy" food labels aren't actually telling you the truth? In this episode, I sit down with Samantha Citro Alexander, Co-Founder and CEO of FoodHealth Company and the creator of the FoodHealth Score — a data-driven nutrition scoring system designed to cut through food marketing and make health measurable, transparent, and actionable.  Sam's journey is fascinating. After spending a decade in the beauty industry with brands like Clinique and Smashbox, helping legacy companies adapt to the clean beauty movement, she saw the same misleading patterns showing up in food. Buzzwords. Wellness spin. Labels that sound healthy — but don't actually support health. That frustration led her to build the FoodHealth Score, a 1–100 rating system that evaluates the overall health of foods using real nutrition science, not trends or hype. Today, the FoodHealth Score is being used by major retailers and data providers to help consumers, brands, and institutions understand what's truly in their grocery carts, and how those choices impact long-term health.  In this conversation, we unpack why food labels so often miss the mark, how marketing manipulates perception, and how small, informed swaps can dramatically improve diet quality without perfection or restriction. We also explore what millions of grocery carts reveal about how people actually eat, and why clarity, not shame, is the key to change.  This episode is about learning how to see food clearly again, so you can stop guessing, stop outsourcing your choices, and start making decisions that actually support your health.  Because when you know better, you can finally do better. ✴️ Connect with Sam on Facebook, Instagram, Substack, TikTok or X

Jeff and Jim are joined by Gartner Analyst Rebecca Archambault for a special live edition of the podcast recorded at the Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit in Grapevine, Texas on December 10, 2025. Instead of a traditional interview, the trio hosts "Majority Rules," an interactive game show where the live audience votes on pressing and fun identity topics. Listen in to hear the pulse of the room on everything from the biggest buzzwords of the year and the true purpose of analyst 1:1 sessions, to the best strategies for navigating the vendor hall. The group explores audience preferences on IGA, AI risks, non-human identities, and the most common lies told in sales cycles. It is a fun, lighthearted look at what identity professionals are actually thinking about the current state of the industry.Connect with Rebecca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-becky-archambault-4b4285111/Connect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at http://idacpodcast.comChapter Timestamps00:00 - Intro and Game Rules02:40 - First Question: Favorite Podcast03:15 - Networking vs. Education04:08 - Buzzword of the Year: Agentic Identity04:47 - User Behavior Analytics Usage05:37 - Expo Hall Memories and Socks06:20 - The Twist: Battle Royale Rules06:45 - The True Purpose of Analyst 1:1s07:55 - Mitigating Agentic AI Risks08:55 - Strategies for the Vendor Hall09:37 - The Future of IGA10:15 - Favorite Gartner Reports11:05 - Benefits of Just-in-Time Access11:45 - AI in Authentication Priorities12:35 - Securing Non-Human Identities13:05 - Keys to Successful B2B IAM 13:40 - The Hardest Part of Role Mining14:15 - PAM for AI Agents14:50 - Keynote Takeaways15:40 - Measuring IAM Success16:20 - Defining ITDR17:05 - The Biggest Lie in IAM Sales17:35 - Least Favorite Gartner Report18:10 - Audit Preparation Preferences18:45 - Common Lies in the Vendor Hall19:15 - The Most Dangerous Access Right19:35 - Winner Announcement and OutroKeywordsIAM, identity management, cybersecurity, Gartner IAM Summit, Majority Rules, game show, Rebecca Archambault, IDAC, Identity at the Center, Jeff Steadman, Jim McDonald, Agentic Identity, ITDR, non-human identity, role mining, zero standing privileges

What happens when three of New York City's most accomplished lighting designers sit down to talk about the state of their profession, with the Empire State Building and JP Morgan Tower framed in the window behind them?In this special episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel brings together a powerhouse roundtable of lighting design leaders to unpack the evolution, challenges, and future of architectural lighting. Recorded live in New York City with the iconic skyline as backdrop, this conversation goes deep into what it really means to design light in 2025—and what needs to change. Martin Van Koolbergen (KGM Lighting), Nathalie Faubert (CBB Lighting Desing), Bruce Taylor (Susan Brady Lighting Design) From nurturing new talent to navigating the relentless pace of modern projects, these designers reveal the uncomfortable truths about an industry caught between artistry and data, emotion and efficiency, tradition and trend. They discuss why lighting design is still treated as a luxury rather than a necessity, how LED technology forced the entire profession to evolve, and why the constant demand for meetings and instant gratification is pushing designers to the edge of burnout.The conversation touches on everything from the tension between photo-realistic renderings and hand sketches, to why trust is the number one thing clients can offer, to the surprising ways technology both helps and hinders great design.

In this New Year's Day episode, Cyd sits down with Cheri Oteri for a wildly honest, hilarious, and unexpectedly deep conversation about grief, burnout, leadership, and the absolute massacre of language in modern marketing.They kick things off by questioning why humans invented New Year's celebrations in the first place, spiral into sickness updates and hospital scares, and then land squarely on the real theme of the episode: we've officially ruined some words beyond repair. Think “era,” “toxic,” “narcissist,” and other once-meaningful terms that now mean… absolutely nothing.From there, the conversation sharpens. They unpack why you cannot motivate your team, why forcing staff to do social media is unhinged, and why salon owners need to stop asking “How do I get them to…” and start asking “Is my business even worth documenting?”This episode dives into:Why behavior doesn't change unless the environment doesWhy boring salons create silent teamsWhy posting hair is dead (sorry)Why leadership-by-example is annoying but necessaryWhy imperfect, human content is about to matter more than ever in an AI-saturated internetIt's funny, spicy, blunt, and grounded in real coaching experience. No platitudes. No buzzwords. Just the uncomfortable truth: you can't spark something if there's nothing to light.If you're a salon owner, leader, or coach heading into 2026 feeling stuck, this episode will either piss you off a little or make everything click. Possibly both.JOIN THE HAIRDRESSER BUSINESS CLUB AND GET TWO WEEKS FREEhttps://www.destroythehairdresser.com/offers/DbMChf8w/checkout

Here's some good news for 2026, the buzzword in federal IT and acquisition community will not be artificial intelligence. But don't worry, AI and all the things around it will continue to be a hot topic. For more on the federal IT and acquisition topics, some experts say they'll be watching closely, Federal News Network's executive editor Jason Miller joins me with details from his annual survey.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Eric Coffie breaks down why technically correct proposals still lose when they ignore mission context and agency culture. He explains how over-engineering proposals, relying on generic buzzwords, or treating mission-driven environments like standard corporate facilities can quietly disqualify otherwise strong bids. Using real examples, Eric shows how understanding dignity, sequencing, staffing continuity, and unspoken expectations—especially around high-visibility moments like Memorial Day—creates powerful differentiators that evaluators notice immediately. Key Takeaways Generic language kills differentiation: Buzzwords signal a lack of real mission understanding. Mission context matters as much as compliance: Agencies want to see why the work matters, not just that you'll do it. Small details win contracts: Staffing continuity, cultural awareness, and timing often separate winners from everyone else.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Medien- und Kommunikationsmanagement studiert und früh gelernt, wie stark gute Kommunikation und vertrauensvolle Beziehungen wirken können – und was passiert, wenn sie fehlen. Sie war viele Jahre bei Bosch tätig, zunächst in der Assistenz, dann in klassischen Projektrollen, später als Impulsgeberin und Transformationsbegleiterin für eine neue Arbeitswelt. Sie führte Bosch' erste globale Plattform für Zusammenarbeit ein – und war lange die zentrale Figur hinter Deutschlands größter Working Out Loud-Bewegung im Konzern. Doch sie wollte mehr: Mehr Wirksamkeit, mehr Menschlichkeit – und mehr Fokus auf das, was Veränderung wirklich trägt. Nach 18 Jahren Konzern wechselte sie in die Selbstständigkeit, gründete mit Connecting Humans eine Beratung für Transformation und gesunde Hochleistungsteams und startete das Format Working Out Loud #FrauenStärken, das sich an Frauen richtet, die in Netzwerken wachsen und wirken wollen. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat – und was sich noch verändern muss. Wir fragen: Was motiviert Menschen, nach 18 Jahren erfolgreicher Konzernkarriere in die Selbstständigkeit zu gehen – und damit ein neues Kapitel zu beginnen? Welche Rolle spielen Beziehungen, Netzwerke und soziale Fitness in einer Welt, die immer schneller, digitaler und unübersichtlicher wird? Und wie können Formate wie #FrauenStärken echte Wirkung entfalten – jenseits von Buzzwords und Event-Hype? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

Do you agree that the language of young people is a language of its own? Online buzzwords are more than just trends—they capture how a generation thinks, jokes, and reacts to the world. In this episode of Takeaway Chinese, we dive into the hottest Chinese buzzwords of 2025 and what they reveal about today's society. On the show: Niu Honglin & Steve. (06:25) From pre-made dishes to even a pre-made life… one word says it all. (10:06) As humanoid robots and service robots become part of everyday life, a new word rises with them.

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings emphasizes the distinction between identity and calling, focusing on the importance of understanding one's identity through God's perspective before pursuing one's calling.

Julia and Eliza are back in the stu for a deep dive into hostile architecture, unpacking the spikes, slopes, bars, and billion-dollar "design choices" that quietly shape our cities and public spaces. In analyzing bisected benches, shadeless streets, and the Evil of Robert Moses, the girlies consider what it means to live in a world built to restrict movement and community. Digressions include the sacred magic of knitting tutorials, NYC's food poisoning themed Erewhon, and Eliza staying bricked up.
