Based in Los Angeles, Dave has dedicated his career to solving complex technical challenges across various domains. His professional journey includes roles as Principal Software Architect at PKWARE, Senior Backend Engineer at Fetch Rewards, and Staff Software Engineer at Bold Penguin, where he consistently designed high-performance, scalable systems.Dave's current passion project, Contextium, represents the culmination of his technical expertise and intellectual interests. This system transforms natural language into deep semantic graphs -- and vice versa -- through innovative knowledge representation techniques. Contextium employs a symbolic, rules-based approach to NLP rather than relying solely on statistical methods, allowing for precise semantic understanding and addressing critical limitations in current AI systems, for example hallucinations in large language models.A published author with O'Reilly Media, Dave wrote 'Programming Visual Basic .NET' (2001) and 'CDO & MAPI Programming with Visual Basic' (2000), demonstrating his ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly.Over his long career, Dave has worked in many languages and tech stacks. His interests extend beyond pure engineering to theoretical aspects of AI, consciousness, and the intersection of symbolic and neural approaches to machine intelligence.You can find Dave on the following sites:LinkedInPLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTSpotifyApple PodcastsYouTube MusicAmazon MusicRSS FeedYou can check out more episodes of Coffee and Open Source on https://www.coffeeandopensource.comCoffee and Open Source is hosted by Isaac Levin
«You bring in the knowledge of what works in real life and what doesn't. That is actually what you are being paid for.»With a year behind him as a solo entrepreneur in his own company, Datakor Consulting, Juha Korpela takes us on a journey through fact-finding-missions at what he calls "the middle layer" of organizations — the strategic area between high-level business strategy and tactical project execution. It is here, he believes, that data consultants can create the most significant and lasting value.We discuss the pitfalls of standardized frameworks and "blueprint" approaches offered by many consulting firms, and why tailored solutions based on a deep understanding of organizational culture always yield better results. Juha shares his methods for knowledge transfer that ensure organizations can continue succeeding with their data work long after the consultant has left the project.Here are Winfried´s key takeaways:SkillsThe key skill as a data consultant, no matter if on a strategic or solution, project level is to understand «what the customer really needs.»The key skills are: Listening. Active listening is the key to understanding.Create mental models: when talking to stakeholder you need to be able to put the information you capture together in a mental model.Understanding.Tech comes after.Working with data modeling is about listening to stories about how business work. Understanding business processes are key.Understanding stories about business and what is relevant for data modeling is a skill that everyone can profit from, but that is seldom taught.Data Modeling is a fact-finding-mission.It is about understanding what the organization does, how it does things, and where this could be improved.ImpactA data consultants impact is dependent on the organization, the structure, and the level of maturity.If there is a CDO or CIO to connect to it can be a good way to create results and visibility.Also as a data consultant it is important find a place in the organization where you have shared views and understanding.If you begin bottom-up you need to be ready to sell this upwards in the organization.LimitsConsultants can help with the initial projects to get you started.Consultants can help figuring out processes and operating model and design what is needed.Organizations need to create long-term ownership in house.Running and maintaining needs to fit with the organizations culture, its s structure, needs, maturity, etc.Models, blueprints, frameworks that you get from the outside can get you started, but do not work in the long run.PatternsData Consultants can see certain patterns emerging across an industry.That knowledge on patterns, lessons learnt, experiences is valuable to apply.That knowledge you bring in is what defines your value, more than specific skills.It is easy for people in organizations to get stuck. Consultants can help as a fresh wind.Knowledge transferAs a consultant you bring in new knowledge, and you need to account for that organizations want to transfer that knowledge to internals.Find ways to create custom training packages to facilitate knowledge sharing.You aim for the organization to succeed with their work, also after the consultants are gone.Consultant aaSDo we move from being consultants to becoming a service offering?Service models can crate a distance between consultants and clients.You need to have a clear understanding the impact of models that include ownership and responsibility transfer as eg. Outsourcing operational tasks.

In dieser Kassenzone-Folge spricht Karo mit Arnaud Sauret, CEO von Decathlon Deutschland, und Patrick Müller, CDO & CMO, über die ambitionierten Pläne des Sportartikelhersteller im deutschen Markt. Decathlon will wachsen, aber wie? 60 neue Filialen, 3.000 neue Mitarbeiter und eine Omnichannel-Strategie, die Online- und Offline-Welt nahtlos verbindet. Für Decathlon ist Deutschland mit einem Umsatz von 1,1 Mrd. Euro der wichtigste Markt, der Marktanteil liegt aber gerade einmal bei 4,5 %. Arnaud bringt nach 28 Jahren bei Decathlon reichlich Erfahrung mit und erklärt, warum der deutsche Markt für das Unternehmen so besonders ist. Patrick gibt Einblicke in die digitale Transformation und die Herausforderung, stationären Handel und E-Commerce optimal zu verzahnen. Denn: Kunden sollen selbst entscheiden, wo und wie sie einkaufen. Besonders spannend: Decathlon setzt verstärkt auf Mobilität – Fahrräder, E-Bikes und Reparaturservices könnten für sie zum Gamechanger werden. Gleichzeitig testet das Unternehmen neue Store-Formate in Innenstädten wie München und Frankfurt. Doch reicht das, um etablierten Playern wie Sport 2000 und Intersport Marktanteile abzunehmen? Auch das Marktplatz-Modell wird diskutiert: Welche Marken dürfen Teil von Decathlon werden, und wie selektiv muss dabei vorgegangen werden? Hinzu kommt die Frage nach einem eigenen Loyalty-Programm – lohnen sich personalisierte Angebote, oder bleibt Decathlon lieber flexibel? Wie Decathlon den deutschen Markt aufmischen will, welche Rolle Eigenmarken und Preis-Leistungs-Führerschaft spielen und warum sich das Unternehmen in der Produktentwicklung vom deutschen Markt beeinflussen lässt – all das erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge.

On this episode we hear from Maya. She studied to be a lawyer before coming into hospitality, which started in Dubai in 2002. She studied law to please her family, but she chose hospitality for herself as she knew this is where she would excel in her career. Beauty of hospitality is that you can have a creative career. She started as a hostess at a Lebanese restaurant at the JW Marriott in Deira and now she is in a CDO role with Accor for the middle east region. She credits a mentor she had early on in her career and her own desire for learning that has guided her path. She has had a few "battle scars" along the way, but it was also what pushed her to get to where she is today. When asked about the evolution of women in leadership in hospitality of what she has seen over her 20 years career, she said there has been changes and there is still some work to be done. And for those women who want those roles in a male dominated environment is not to be deterred and go for it, it is possible. When it comes to men and women working together, instead of competition she invites us to look at it as complementing each other. Another invitation she has for us is to embrace vulnerability and be authentic to ourselves.

Let's talk about books today. What was the last book that inspired you? Was it a novel, a non-fiction book, a design book, a music book or a cookbook? In this episode, I share three books that inspired my sound way of thinking, experiencing the world with an open ear and what has led to developing music thinking, the framework, the jam cards, the book and the podcast. I will briefly discuss Nada Brahma by Joachim Ernst Berend, The Soundscape by R. Murray Schafer, and The Glass Bead Game, the prize-winning novel by Hermann Hesse. These three books directly and indirectly influenced the ideas in The Power of Music Thinking. But my book also influenced another author, and he used parts of the music thinking framework described in the book to explain his idea of rebels in digital development in Belgium. Today I speak with Geert de Mol, a CDO for the leading Belgian Bank for 16 years, during their development of ‘the best app in the world'. Geert is a music lover of rock and pop, and he shares with us how music thinking and the book helped him to pen his story.

Unser heutiger Gast setzt sich für digitale Teilhabe ein und für eine Verwaltung, die bürgerfreundlich, effizient und modern arbeitet, und sie ist überzeugt, dass digitale Innovation im öffentlichen Sektor genauso mutig sein kann wie in der Privatwirtschaft. Nach ihrem Studium der Wirtschaftsinformatik und einer Promotion in Gender Studies begann ihr Weg zunächst in der Unternehmensberatung, bevor sie in die Digitalwirtschaft wechselte. Dort übernahm sie Führungspositionen in der Tech-Branche, bevor sie sich einer neuen, herausfordernden Aufgabe stellte: Die Digitalisierung einer der größten Kommunen Deutschlands voranzutreiben. Seit 2022 ist sie Chief Digital Officer der Stadt München und verantwortet die IT-Strategie, digitale Infrastruktur und Innovationen für eine Verwaltung mit über 40.000 Mitarbeitenden. Ihr Ziel: München zur Smart City weiterentwickeln, Verwaltungsprozesse effizienter gestalten und gleichzeitig Open Source und digitale Souveränität stärken. Sie setzt auf Kooperation, Vernetzung und einen Kulturwandel, um die Verwaltung zukunftsfähig zu machen. In ihrer Rolle als CDO berät sie nicht nur den Oberbürgermeister in Digitalisierungsfragen, sondern treibt auch Schlüsselprojekte wie die elektronische Akte, den digitalen Zwilling Münchens und neue digitale Bürgerservices voran. Neben ihrer beruflichen Verantwortung ist sie auch als Autorin, Feministin und Netzpolitikerin aktiv. Sie kämpft für Diversität, Inklusion und eine digitale Gesellschaft, die allen zugutekommt. In ihrem Denken verbindet sie strategische Weitsicht mit pragmatischem Handeln – denn erfolgreiche Digitalisierung bedeutet für sie, heute schon an übermorgen zu denken. Seit fast 8 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärken kann – statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 470 Gesprächen haben wir mit fast 600 Menschen darüber gesprochen, wie sich unsere Arbeitswelt verändert und welche Ansätze uns helfen können, diese Herausforderungen zu meistern. Was bedeutet digitale Transformation im öffentlichen Sektor wirklich? Welche Rolle spielt digitale Souveränität für Städte und Verwaltungen? Und wie kann eine moderne Verwaltung Innovation, Agilität und Bürgernähe miteinander verbinden? Fest steht: Für die Lösung der aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Ideen, Perspektiven und Herangehensweisen. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Dr. Laura Dornheim.

Love is in the air, and so is wisdom! In this special Fundraisers Friday – Valentine's Day Q&A, cohosts Julia Patrick and Tony Beall dive into pressing nonprofit leadership questions, blending deep insights with their signature wit and camaraderie.From unexpected board policies to the evolving role of marketing in fundraising, this episode is packed with practical takeaways that every nonprofit leader should hear.One of the most thought-provoking questions came from a young expecting woman: Should boards have a maternity policy for their members? While many policies set attendance rules, they don't always account for major life events. Tony championed a broader perspective: “Board members bring immense value. A leave of absence policy—rather than just maternity—ensures we retain exceptional talent.”Julia, ever the strategic thinker, mentions the policy implications:“It's not just about adding another policy; it's about structuring governance to make room for life's realities.”This lively conversation also tackles the role of COOs in nonprofit structures. Should Development Directors report to them? Tony lays out a clear organizational map, explaining that a Chief Development Officer (CDO) should ideally oversee fundraising, ensuring alignment with the CEO: “Under the COO, stories are created. Under the CDO, they're told. That's why marketing and fundraising belong together.”Julia emphasizes the power of proximity between marketing and fundraising teams:“Get their offices close together—energy happens when storytelling meets donor engagement.”With a mix of heartfelt gratitude and laughter, the episode wraps up with a touching moment where Julia expressed appreciation for Tony's early belief in The Nonprofit Show. #NonprofitLeadership #FundraisersFriday #StorytellingMattersFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
What happens when an industry as heavily regulated and historically slow-moving as pharma is forced to accelerate digital transformation? In today's episode, I welcome Florian Schnappauf, Vice President of Enterprise Commercial Strategy at Veeva Systems, to discuss how Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) are reshaping the pharmaceutical landscape and why their role is now more critical than ever. The pharmaceutical sector faces mounting pressure to innovate faster, manage costs, and compete with digital-first biotechs. Research predicts the industry will spend $4.5 billion on digital transformation by 2030, a shift that has led to the emergence of CDOs in the pharma C-suite. But what does this role actually entail, and how does it help companies navigate the complexities of drug development, clinical trials, and commercialization? Florian shares insights on how CDOs are not just supporting digital initiatives but actively orchestrating, building, and operating them. From managing the sheer volume of data generated by clinical trials to ensuring that digital tools enhance—not hinder—the drug development process, the CDO is now a key differentiator between industry leaders and laggards. We also explore how effective digital leadership can shorten timeframes from drug discovery to patient treatment, improve communication with healthcare providers, and ultimately ensure that pharma companies achieve more with fewer resources. With regulatory hurdles, technological advancements, and shifting market dynamics, the pharmaceutical industry is at a pivotal moment. So, what does the future hold for digital leaders in pharma? How will CDOs continue to evolve, and what lessons can other industries learn from their journey? Join us as we break down the digital transformation of pharma and the leadership required to drive meaningful change. And as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts—do you think pharma is adapting quickly enough, or is there still a long way to go? Check out the What Pharma Needs Next podcast.
In this episode, we chat with Spencer Cole, CDO and CFO of Xanadu Mines, a copper exploration company with projects in the South Gobi and Western Mongolia. They aim to develop porphyry and intrusion-related deposits and are committed to Mongolia and its potential as one of the last great copper frontiers. Spencer has qualification in Mech and Material Eng (BS), Business & Finance (MBA), Finance (CPA) and has worked in various industries including mining, aerospace, Oil & Gas across the Americas, Australia, and SE Asia. He’s been with Xanadu for coming up to 5 years now and gives us an overview of the company, their flagship project Kharmagtai and will educate us more on the Lassonde Curve and how that has an impact on the company plus much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Xanadu Mines is an ASX and TSX-listed exploration company focused on copper and gold in Mongolia, with its flagship project, Kharmagtai, currently at the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) stage. The company has transitioned from coal exploration to copper and gold since 2013-2014. The Lassonde curve illustrates the typical life cycle of a junior mining company, showing how market capitalisation fluctuates through different stages of project development. Xanadu's journey reflects this curve, having experienced peaks and troughs as it moved from exploration to commercialisation. Hermagti faces challenges such as funding, permitting, and the need to identify high-grade zones to minimise negative cash flow. However, opportunities exist in the form of potential sequential heap leaching of weathered deposits and the possibility of expanding the resource through further drilling. Zijin Mining, a top global copper and gold miner, has partnered with Xanadu to advance the Kharmagtai project. This partnership is seen as beneficial due to Zijin's experience in advanced metallurgy and their aggressive growth model, which aligns with Xanadu's goals. Over the next 6 to 12 months, Xanadu aims to complete a bankable feasibility study for Kharmagtai and navigate the Mongolian permitting process. The company is also exploring funding options and planning further exploration activities for its other projects, Sant. Tolgoi and Red Mountain. BEST MOMENTS "Xanadu is an ASX and TSX, so dual listed exploration company... focused on copper and gold in Mongolia." "The Lassonde curve illustrates the typical life cycle of a junior mining company, showing its market capitalisation over the different stages of development." "Kharmagtai is a big, low-grade copper-gold porphyry. Its economics work on scale, low strip ratio, and byproduct credits." "Zijin is a top five copper miner... they have a very aggressive growth model and are really experienced at building value through advanced metallurgy."

Die heutige Wertpapierbesprechung haben wir anlässlich des Ausgangs der US-Präsidentschaftswahlen aufgenommen. Anlässlich der Amtseinführung des 47. POTUS veröffentlichen wir den spekulativen Trump-Trade. Dabei handelt es sich um einen bestimmten Preferred Share der Federal National Mortgage Association, kurz Fannie Mae. Den staatlich gestützten Hypothekenfinanzierer wollte Trump bereits in seiner ersten Amtszeit voll privatisieren, was zeitlich nicht mehr geklappt hat. Nun steht das Vorhaben erneut auf dem Plan. Damit einher geht ein enormes Aufwertungspotenzial des heruntergeprügelten Papiers - einschließlich eines sehr warmen Dividendenregens. Sofern der Trade aufgeht ...

Back in 2016, the Internet and Mobile Association of India set up an all new club for what was then a very small cohort of digital leaders in corporate India. It was called the all-India Chief Digital Officer club. Back then, there were only about five-six CDOs that were members. The point of the initiative was to give legitimacy to this new, emerging role. But soon enough, the initiative fizzled out. Not because the role didn't take off or anything. Actually, the opposite. The initiative became redundant because the role became even more popular than they had anticipated. So it started with 5-6 members, but within the next four years its membership rose to 50 and then doubled the next year. You see, digital transformation has become THE buzzword for corporate India. And in the process, the CDO has become part of the companies top leadership. But the question is — where does that leave the CIO? Tune in. P.S The Ken's podcast team is hiring!

If we do that, we will see a lot of benefit from this technology. If we wait, we're going to be in a situation like with social media. We will have a deskilling of essential human cognitive abilities.”We don't talk enough about how to train people to use AI software. The organizations that think hardest about that are going to be very successful.”Sol Rashidi “Usually I start the conversations of how ROI shouldn't just be a financial measure. There's three ROI's in my opinion. There's a financial ROI, there's a cultural ROI, and there's a relevancy ROI.”“I am adamant that business value is not the number one marker. Everything needs to be scored and graded by criticality and complexity. And your criticality is a measure of ‘what is the impact if we don't do this?'”Bernard Marr“What we are seeing is we will see an augmentation of pretty much every single job. I can't think of many jobs that will not be augmented by GenAI. We need to really expect change as individuals.”“We must create a world where education is seen as something that never stops, that carries on. I believe that we are currently entering a hyper evolution cycle, with artificial intelligence right at the center of it.”Mentions: 'Mastering AI: A Survival Guide to Our Superpowered Future' by Jeremy Khan 'Your AI Survival Guide: Scraped Knees, Bruised Elbows, and Lessons Learned from Real-World AI Deployments' by Sol Rashidi'Generative AI in Practice: 100+ Amazing Ways Generative Artificial Intelligence is Changing Business and Society' by Bernard MarrBios: About Jeremy Khan Jeremy Khan is an award-winning journalist for Fortune magazine, where he covers AI and other emerging technologies.
