"Have we seen the productivity benefit from that? I think it's reasonable to say that no, no, we haven't."That is Ryan Maibach, President and CEO of Barton Malow, on the software stackhis own teams are carrying.Roughly 40 different tools for a project manager. Around 35 for a superintendent.He is not describing a company that failed to adopt technology. He is describing one that adopted a lot of it and is now counting the cost.His point on this week's episode was not that the tools are bad. Several of themwork. It is that digging foundations, placing concrete and erecting steel have not fundamentally changed, while the process wrapped around those activities has grown exponentially more complex. He is seeing burnout, and he is not seeing the productivity.Then he took it somewhere harder.If a construction manager exists partly to help a client overcome informationasymmetry, and AI hands that client the same knowledge directly, what is the service actually worth?Full episode out now.

There are several development projects underway for AI data centres in Canada, with plans for many, many more. The Canadian government is behind these projects as it tries to encourage Canadians to adopt the technology and increase Canada's digital sovereignty by housing data within our borders. But there is a lot of opposition to these data centres from the communities where they'd be built, including in Hamilton, and Île-des-Chênes, Alta. Residents worry about the facilities' water use, power use and environmental impacts. Today, The Globe's national reporter Joe Friesen tells us about the projects slated for development in Canada, why so many have faced public backlash, and the balance the government has to strike in deciding how and whether to build these centres in Canada.

C'est une mobilisation qui a commencé à bas bruit, mais qui commence à prendre une dimension nationale aux États-Unis : le mouvement anti-data center, ces centres de données qui gagnent du terrain partout dans le monde, censés stocker des volumes considérables d'informations. Samedi 18 juillet, des manifestations sont organisées dans 37 États pour dénoncer l'installation de ces infrastructures. Cécile Diguet, urbaniste et chercheuse sur l'impact des data centers à Studio Dégel, parle de cette contestation.
The announcement of new data centres for Alberta is a great thing. We should embrace the opportunity.
Seaplane regulations, a fatal speedboat accident and new cyberscam centre revelations. This week's show takes Gary and Hannah around ASEAN and beyond, with stopovers in Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Timor Leste and the Middle East. We begin with the latest updates on flights connecting South East Asia and the Middle East as the military conflict between the US and Iran flares up once again. We look at the latest developments in IATA's battle to promote sustainable aviation fuel while at the same time challenging government policies. A deadly speedboat accident near Phu Quoc raises once more the issue of marine safety in tourism, while Vietnam steps up attempts to attract more Muslim tourists. New revelations about scam centres in Timor Leste and Cambodia raise more questions than answers, and we finish in Thailand where an island network of seaplanes is ready for take-off, or is it?

Are you on board with the idea of a large-scale data centre in your community?
New York becomes the first US state to impose a moratorium on building large-scale data centres. The measure, announced by New York's Governor Kathy Horchul, applies to all centres using 50MW or more of power and will remain in force for a year. We hear what the moratorium might mean for business. The announcement comes hours after Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese announces tougher rules for companies wanting to build data centres there.Elsewhere, the removal of a border fence separating southern Spain from the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar puts an end to border controls that have been in place for 118 years. And our correspondent Anna Holligan looks at Europe's largest freight port in Rotterdam, which is under pressure to be greener.

Australia's being pitched as a potential global powerhouse for data centres.These are the massive facilities that store, process and move the data behind everything from cloud computing to artificial intelligence.But as billions of dollars flow into new projects, a fierce debate is emerging over who benefits, and who bears the cost.
AI needs vast data centres to power it but communities around the world are increasingly pushing back against the large, ugly “sheds” appearing on their doorsteps.In the US, one proposed Utah data centre is set to be larger than Manhattan. Meanwhile, architects in the UK are looking at ways to make data centres more attractive, functional and useful to local communities. So Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott ask whether better design, waste-heat reuse and local benefits could make AI infrastructure more acceptable.Plus, Danny speaks to Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks, who explains how AI and biology are coming together through autonomous “cloud labs” that could transform scientific discovery.Would you hate data centres less if they were more beautiful?

New figures from the CSO shows data centres account for nearly a-quarter of electricity usage in Ireland, while electricity consumption rose by ten per cent last year alone…Leader of the Green Party, Roderic O'Gorman, joins Ciara to discuss.
Tech New Zealand is trying to dispel fears about bringing more data centres here. Crown agency Invest New Zealand is looking to attract up to $30 billion in offshore investment in the centres, over five years. We already have 56 of the facilities here – using around 0.6% of our total power. Tech New Zealand Chief Executive Graeme Muller told Mike Hosking he hates hearing that data centres use a lot of water. He says it's an American issue with old centres, suggesting the new facilities like those built in Auckland using less water than the average dairy farm. Muller is also assuring that lots of jobs will be created by bringing new data centres here. Invest New Zealand claims the centres could employ up to three and a half thousand people, but local industry advocate Don Christie says the centres are largely automated and only employ a few people. Muller argues the new data centre being built in Southland is creating a lot of jobs – he says it's going to create more construction jobs over the next decade than the City Rail Link, and create 220 fulltime positions.

While the Lyhanna case in France has exposed the shortcomings of a fragmented system for dealing with sexual violence against minors, Belgium stands as a model with its Centres for the Care of Sexual Violence (CPVS). The centres are based on a simple principle: a victim only has to walk through one door to find a doctor, forensic nurse, psychologist and specialized police officer – all in one place. Born from a pilot project in three hospitals, the model proved convincing with its scientific results from the first evaluation. In 2020, the government decided to roll it out nationwide.
Dans cette entrevue, le pdg Ludovic Soucisse présente le rôle des 59 Centres collégiaux de transfert de technologie (CCTT) répartis dans presque toutes les régions du Québec. Ces centres accompagnent les entreprises, les organismes et les institutions dans le développement de nouvelles technologies, le prototypage, la validation et la réduction des risques liés à l'innovation. Véritable trait d'union entre la recherche universitaire et les besoins du marché, le réseau travaille chaque année avec plus de 5 500 organisations. Selon Ludovic Soucisse, les CCTT demeurent pourtant méconnus malgré leur expertise reconnue à l'international. Cette nouvelle série d'entrevues vise justement à faire découvrir ces ressources aux entrepreneurs québécois et à démontrer, à travers des exemples concrets, comment elles peuvent accélérer l'innovation dans des secteurs allant de l'intelligence artificielle à la santé, en passant par l'énergie, l'agroalimentaire et les technologies de défense.
Starlink's competitor hits its launch milestone Amazon's Leo project launched an additional 29 satellites this week, bringing it to 390 satellites in orbit – enough to start its 'preview' service for select customers. SpaceX has been in the game for four years now, and has over 10,000 satellites in orbit, with more than 10 million subscribers. Amazon wants to get to 7,700 satellites, but limited rocket space has slowed its progress. Get your WhatsApp username while you can WhatsApp usernames are launching later this year, but right now they're slowly rolling out the ability to reserve your username. Linking your Instagram and Facebook profiles will unlock those usernames for you, or you can create something new. Some privacy experts say not to use your real name so people can't contact you out of the blue. There is a feature to turn on a PIN so that only those who know your username and that PIN can contact you. The benefit is not needing to give your phone number to people, but on the flip side is the risk of impersonation. Sceptics think this is a great way for Meta to promote the linking of accounts and identifying users across products. A heat wave in the Northeast of the USA is forcing data centres to use their backup power The grid is under strain with the hot temps and increased AC usage. The Energy Secretary has instructed grid operators to get the data centres onto their own generation systems if the power plants can't produce enough. These backup systems sit idle most of the time, which is a good thing according to some environmental consultants who say the diesel burning backups can pollute residential areas.

C'est une échéance que redoutent les travailleurs des centres d'appels au Maroc. En août entrera en vigueur en France la loi qui interdit le démarchage téléphonique sans consentement. Un changement majeur sur un marché qui représente 80% du chiffre d'affaires des entreprises marocaines. Selon les autorités du royaume, jusqu'à 50 000 emplois seraient menacés, dont beaucoup de postes occupés par des étrangers venus d'Afrique subsaharienne. De notre correspondant à Casablanca, Lamine est directement concerné par cette réforme. « Je fais du démarchage téléphonique. Je fais l'émission, c'est-à-dire appeler les clients, leur proposer des services, explique-t-il. Aujourd'hui, on se sent menacés. » Ce Sénégalais est au Maroc depuis trois ans. Les centres d'appels constituaient jusqu'ici une opportunité d'emploi intéressante pour les jeunes comme lui. « Quand on arrive au Maroc avec des diplômes, on se rue quand même sur les centres d'appels, parce qu'il y en a plusieurs ici. Et, avec les salaires qu'on nous paie ici, on subvient à plein de besoins, ce qui n'était pas possible au Sénégal », détaille encore Lamine. Mamadou est aussi très inquiet : « Nous, on s'attend au pire. Je travaille dans les centres d'appels. Je ne connais que ce domaine-là pratiquement. Ça me permet de joindre les deux bouts et ça m'a permis de réaliser pas mal de trucs au Sénégal. » Le démarchage téléphonique ne va pas disparaître totalement, selon les explications de la direction à ces employés. « Peut-être que des alternatives suivront, des clients qui seront intéressés pour changer d'offres pourront faire des demandes sur les sites et nous, on pourra rappeler ces clients, espère-t-il. Parce que ce sont eux qui auront demandé à être contactés et pas le contraire en fait. » Alors que le démarchage téléphonique va se compliquer, les employés, qui touchent souvent des primes sur objectif, risquent de perdre une partie de leur rémunération. Quel accompagnement pour les petites structures ? Du côté du patronat, les grands groupes relativisent l'impact de la loi française sur le secteur. Selon la fédération marocaine de l'externalisation des services, le démarchage téléphonique pur ne constitue plus aujourd'hui que 15% à 20% de l'activité totale. C'est la guerre des chiffres avec les syndicats. « Le grand nombre de ces centres d'appels sont des petites structures, voire des moyennes structures », pointe Ayoub Saoud, le secrétaire général de la Fédération nationale des centres d'appels, affiliée à la centrale UMT. Les petites et moyennes entreprises représentent plus de 60% du tissu du secteur. Et pour celles qui sont spécialisées dans le télémarketing, le choc s'annonce frontal. « Comment le gouvernement compte-t-il accompagner ces centres d'appels pour éviter cette crise sociale ? Il faut trouver des solutions, il faut impliquer les acteurs socio-économiques pour parler notamment de gestion prévisionnelle des emplois et des carrières, et de reconversion professionnelle », alerte Ayoub Saoud. Le gouvernement dit travailler sur un plan d'action. Ayoub Saoud dénonce au contraire l'impréparation des autorités, alors que la menace pèse depuis longtemps sur le démarchage téléphonique. Il souhaiterait aussi que les partenaires français soient impliqués dans la recherche de solutions.
Martin takes a closer look at the near future of the contact centre — not the vague "AI will replace everyone" headlines, but a practical, role-by-role breakdown of how the industry might really change over the next decade.After attending the National Contact Centre Awards in London, Martin reflects on how far the industry has come — and where it's heading. He walks through what a future 500-seat operation could look like, and what that means for every team: agents, team leaders, QA, training, WFM, and HR.In this episode:Why transactional contacts will largely disappear — and what that leaves for human agentsHow the team leader role becomes more important, not lessThe evolution of QA from auditors to insight specialistsWhy training will shift towards emotional intelligence, resilience, and critical thinkingThe real risk of removing humans too aggressively — and why customers will punish itWhy demand for exceptional team leaders will be higher than ever by 2035Whether you're deep into AI adoption or still running on an Excel Frankenstack, this one's for you.Share your thoughts — how do you see the contact centre changing?

Dans cette discussion, Robert Michon et Pierre Samson reviennent sur les débuts de l'industrie des centres de données au Québec. Ils rappellent que la province disposait déjà de nombreux avantages compétitifs, notamment l'hydroélectricité, un climat favorable au refroidissement naturel et une grande stabilité politique, mais que le manque de capitaux, la méconnaissance du modèle d'affaires et une vision limitée du rôle stratégique des centres de données ont ralenti son développement. Selon eux, l'essor de l'infonuagique puis de l'intelligence artificielle a transformé ces infrastructures en composantes essentielles de l'économie numérique. Aujourd'hui, ils estiment que le Canada conserve une carte importante à jouer dans la course mondiale à l'IA, à condition d'investir dans l'électricité, les infrastructures de calcul, la recherche et la création de propriété intellectuelle locale. Une discussion rendue possible grâce à la collaboration de Micrologic, partenaire de Mon Carnet.

The federal government has unveiled a two-billion-dollar AI strategy aimed at boosting jobs, skills training, and business growth, alongside plans to build large-scale AI data centres powered by clean energy. But as these projects move into communities, opposition is mounting. Recent protests in Hamilton and an Angus Reid poll showing 68 per cent of Canadians would oppose a data centre near their home raise questions about public buy-in. With roughly 100 data centres already in Ontario, do more bring opportunity or risk? We examine the concerns and separate fact from fiction with Kathleen Kauth of the Advanced Energy Centre at MaRS and Mark Winfield of York University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
