Send us Fan MailService-centric organizations operate with business models that are fundamentally different from those of product-based companies, requiring ERP systems designed around people, projects, contracts, subscriptions, customer relationships, and financial management rather than inventory and manufacturing processes. Industries such as financial services, banking, insurance, SaaS, technology, media, consulting, and other professional services prioritize resource utilization, project profitability, recurring revenue, and customer engagement over physical supply chains. Because of these operational differences, their process requirements, reporting needs, and overall system architecture often vary significantly from those of inventory-driven businesses, making it essential to select an ERP that aligns with the unique demands of service-based operations.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top ERP Systems for service-centric industries In 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each ERP system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEczEhiG_PoQuestions for Panelists?

As AI changes the way nonprofits connect with donors, the big question is: can technology make fundraising more personal, not less?  Derric Bakker, CEO at DickersonBakker, explores how fundraising has moved from personal, relationship-based work to more transactional communication. He shares how AI can help nonprofits bring personalized donor experiences to more people, not just major donors.  The discussion covers key ideas such as listening to donors, personalizing messages, showing genuine thanks, building trust, respecting donor timing, and focusing on long-term relationships.   Derric also highlights the importance of using AI responsibly. Nonprofits should be honest when AI is involved and should never use technology to trick or pressure donors. Trust is at the heart of successful fundraising, and once it is lost, it can be difficult to rebuild.   The conversation also looks at how nonprofits can use AI to scale personal communication while keeping the human side of fundraising strong.   Overall, the message is simple: use AI to strengthen relationships, not replace them. The future of fundraising should combine smart technology with genuine human connection.  HIGHLIGHST   [02:00] Derric's Professional Journey   [06:07] The Shift Toward Transactional Fundraising  [10:37] Genesis of A Better Way to Fundraise   [16:46] Core Principles of Relationship Fundraising  [21:17] AI Ethics and Maintaining Donor Trust   [35:19] The Future Outlook for Fundraising  Resources:  Connect with Derric:  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/derricbakker/  Website: betterwaychampions.org/  Website: dickersonbakker.com/  Mentioned in the episode:  A Better Way to Fundraise - Treat Every Donor Like a Major Donor: How AI is Enabling Major Giving at Scale - And Reshaping the Future of Philanthropy: amazon.com/Better-Way-Fundraise-Reshaping-Philanthropy    Better Way Champions — Resources and a growing community of nonprofit leaders working to rethink the future of fundraising: BetterWayChampions.org    Better Way Champions on Substack — Derric's latest writing on fundraising, philanthropy, AI, and the changes reshaping our sector: https://betterwaychampions.substack.com/subscribe 

Send us Fan MailProduct-centric organizations operate in an environment where inventory, supply chain execution, and operational efficiency directly influence profitability. Unlike service-based businesses, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and other inventory-driven companies require an ERP that tightly connects procurement, production, warehousing, planning, logistics, and finance into a single operational framework. Real-time visibility into inventory, costs, and business performance is essential for controlling margins, meeting customer expectations, and adapting to demand fluctuations. Choosing an ERP without fully accounting for these operational realities often results in fragmented processes, limited visibility, unnecessary customization, and costly workarounds that hinder long-term growth.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top ERP Systems for product-centric industries In 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems.

Welcome back to The Built Environment Marketing Show hosted by strategic marketing consultant Ayo Abbas. This week I'm joined by Tim Heatley, co-founder of Capital&Centric, an investor, developer and operator spending three to four million pounds a week on regeneration across the UK.We talk about how he builds trust with communities before a single plan is shown, why his advice to architects and engineers is to take a naff scheme off their website, and, with the UK's political leadership in flux, what the rest of the country can actually learn from Manchester.Recorded just before Andy Burnham was confirmed as UK Prime Minister, this conversation already had us talking about the rise of Manchesterism and what the rest of the UK can learn from it. What do you think, could this approach work beyond Manchester?

Tribal households in the United States carry an energy burden 28% above the national average and endure 6.5 times more power outages a year, and roughly 17,000 tribal homes — housing at least 54,000 people — have no electricity at all, according to the Department of Energy. Those are the communities now first in line to absorb the next surge in demand, because Energy Information Administration concluded data center load will be the dominant driver of long-term U.S. electricity growth. Our guest this week is Cody Two Bears, founder and CEO of Indigenized Energy, and his answer to that arithmetic is tribal energy sovereignty: build it yourself, on your own terms, at your own pace. A member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and once the youngest person elected to its tribal council, Cody founded the organization in 2017 after the NoDAPL protests and went on to develop North Dakota's largest solar farm at Cannon Ball. It became an independent 501(c)(3) this spring and now runs energy makeover projects in four tribal communities and food sovereignty work in two more. A household that signs on returns a share of what it saves — a flat fee on one reservation, a 50-50 split on another, a sliding scale elsewhere that asks 70% from a family with a job and 10% or 20% from an elder on a fixed income. The revolving fund covers maintenance, sustains jobs, and eventually becomes collateral in places where conventional lending has never worked, because sovereign land doesn't fit a repossession-based credit model. Cody puts it plainly: tribes are asking for a hand up, and the point of the first dollar is that nobody has to come back for a second.

Morningstar Wealth's Philip Straehl says his firm and investors are reevaluating the tech space as the trade cools. He believes investors can hold tech but believes in diversifying into underappreciated corners of the space and trimming stocks like Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), and other AI memory companies. He labels Mastercard (MA) and Visa (V) as stocks he likes outside of tech due to their massive consumer moats.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Europe's biotech sector is facing an innovation cliff, with fewer clinical starts, tighter capital, and increasing development complexity. In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh caught up with Paul Bridges, president, consulting, at Parexel, and Charlotte Moser, Parexel's chief medical officer, following BIO-Europe Spring in Lisbon, Portugal. The conversation touches upon regulatory strategy and evolving policy shifts, trial design and execution – and the importance of patient centricity – as well as AI in drug development and medical leadership in drug development today.

“If you're in the business of visuals, you're cultivating desire. You're cultivating what people look to. And that is cultural governance.” — Pumla Maswanganyi Pumla Maswanganyi is the primary author of African Life-Centric Design (ALCD), a framework that integrates design with contextual intelligence and the perspectives most often missing from the work. Pumla's portfolio includes collaborations with major corporate, cultural, and educational institutions including SAMSUNG, Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art, Soho House, Future of Design Education, Art School Africa, Core 77, the African Union, and the University of Johannesburg. Her work covers co-designed experiences, products, and forward-thinking strategies, all built on a single ethos: equitable access to whatever she builds. Every design carries an invisible permission. It's in the color, the proportion, the materials, the affordances. Every choice about how something looks, moves, or behaves is also a choice about what people are allowed to feel, want, or imagine for themselves. Most of the design that shaped modern life was written from a narrow set of geographies and worldviews, and the permissions it grants reflect that. In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon sits down with Pumla to explore why every act of design is an act of governance, and what that means for anyone making things. Born in post-apartheid South Africa and trained in globalization and development, Pumla brings a perspective formed by growing up inside design systems engineered to oppress. African Life-Centric Design is the framework she built to do the opposite, centering African ways of seeing as a foundation for designing futures from the continent rather than for it. At the heart of African Life-Centric Design sits a question: how do we make things in a way that honors the systems and the people who have survived the longest? -- Connect with Pumla on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pumla-maswanganyi/ -- Connect with Pumla on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swangs_express/ -- African Life-Centric Design: https://africanlifecentric.design -- Contact Simon / Object Subject Form Website: https://objectsubjectform.com/ Object Subject Form on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/objectsubjectform/ Object Subject Form on Instagram: https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform Simon's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/simonclowes Simon's Instagram: https://instagram.com/simon_clowes Simon's X: https://x.com/simon_clowes –– About Object Subject Form Object Subject Form is a podcast and creative platform hosted by Simon Clowes, exploring the human side of creativity, identity, and emerging technologies through conversations with artists, designers, technologists, and cultural thinkers.  

Daniel Grilli is General Manager for Australasia at VECOS where he is passionate about using adaptive workplace technology to deliver operational strategy initiatives. Mike Petrusky asks Daniel why he believes that true innovation involves rapid learning from failure and requires organizations to be agile, experiment, and adapt quickly. They explore how design and management of workplaces are shifting from assumption-based to evidence-based, using real data about how spaces and amenities are actually used. Daniel says that adaptive technology should serve the people in the workplace, making experiences seamless and frictionless while integration and interoperability between workplace technologies are essential to overcome legacy system silos and unlock greater efficiency. The future of smart workplaces lies in their ability to adapt rather than simply being technologically advanced, so Mike and Daniel offer the encouragement and inspiration you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

“What were you wearing?” sounds like a question, but it often functions like a verdict. From the the 2026 Conference on Crimes Against Women in Dallas, we sit down with Dr. Mary Simmerling and Dr. Denise Huskins Quinn to unpack the What Were You Wearing exhibit, a traveling art installation that recreates the everyday outfits survivors wore during sexual assault and pairs them with stories, audio, and case artifacts. The result is confronting and deeply human, designed to put the work of bearing witness back on the community and to dismantle victim blaming in real time.Mary traces the exhibit back to a poem she wrote after her own assault at 18 and explains why art can reach places training manuals cannot. Denise shares the harrowing facts of her 2015 kidnapping and rape, and the second trauma that followed when police and media pushed a false narrative that the crime was fabricated. We talk about confirmation bias, interrogation tactics like the Reid technique, and the impossible “credibility tests” survivors get trapped in, from being judged as too emotional to not emotional enough.We also dig into what it means to make a problem “visible” when shame and silence keep so many stories hidden, and how the team thoughtfully includes well-known cases, including their work with the family of Gabby Petito. Finally, we preview a new companion installation built around another loaded question: “Why didn't she just leave?” and the life-or-death realities of domestic violence, resources, and lethality risk during separation.

Send us Fan MailYou've been told that keeping donors happy is how you protect your revenue. What if that's actually the thing bleeding your organization dry? In this episode, Maria Rio makes the case that donor-centric fundraising isn't just a values problem, but also financial one. She breaks down exactly how centering donor comfort drives away your most aligned supporters, tanks staff morale, and keeps your organization stuck addressing symptoms instead of causes. Maria introduces the ACT framework, a concrete three-step roadmap that any fundraiser can start using without board approval, a strategic planning retreat, or organizational consensus.On this week's episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria Rio draws on over a decade of fundraising experience, her personal history as a service user, and real results from organizations like The Stop Community Food Centre and Out on Screen to show nonprofit leaders what Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF) actually looks like in practice, and how to start shifting toward it, starting tomorrow.

Send us Fan MailWe did some genuine psycho-therapy work on this podcast. It so happens our recent life experiences converged about how we can't seem to find the Gentle Button when we naturally express ourselves and say what we, er, believe. Our tongues have not yet been tamed. Saying, "I don't care" does not absolve us of the hurt mudslide we cause…no matter how the Greek gods cherished apathy. But we pinpointed the ego in the middle of our Oreo rage cookie. Having said it aloud we now fear we'll not work at getting better. It's a fear shared by our loved ones.

Provider-centric marketing can be one of the strongest ways for a med spa to create trust before a patient ever walks through the door. Kevin, Mitch, and Andrea break down why provider-focused ads often outperform service-based campaigns, but also why they create new challenges around creative quality, ad performance, team dynamics, provider retention, and operational follow-through. They talk through the difference between marketing the business, the service, and the provider, plus how accountability workflows, landing pages, organic content, patient stories, and strong reporting can support the full journey.

Healthcare systems frequently treat women as a niche population, forcing them to navigate fragmented, episodic care models built on male physiology. What does it look like to genuinely operationalize a women-centric health system from the front lines? This podcast is not available for CME/CE/CPD credits.

Exponential technologies, humanity-centric innovation, ethics in AI, passion and purpose, and the intersection of business and technology all point to one urgent question: How do we prepare the next generation to build solutions that are both economically viable and good for humanity?This is a question we explore with Pete Dulcamara - scientist, former VP of Research at Kimberly-Clark and author of High-Tech Heroes.We may be entering a new renaissance of innovation, driven by the convergence of human need, business model disruption and fast-moving technology. Global companies are rethinking how products create real human value, exponential technologies are advancing faster than institutions can adapt, and a new generation is entering the workforce with different expectations for purpose, impact and responsibility.For Dulcamara, the opportunity is not technology for technology's sake. AI, robotics, biotechnology, autonomous systems and additive manufacturing could help solve some of the world's hardest problems, but only if they are paired with ethical judgment and economic viability. That's where education has to adapt. Students must learn exponential technologies and also how to apply their skills to these humanity-centric questions.In this episode:Redefining "billionaire" and how you can become oneThe difference between consumer-centric, business-centric and humanity-centric innovationWhat we mean by “data is the new oil, AI is the new electricity, and robotics is the new steel”Moving technical education from STEM to “STEM to the power of E”EQ, AQ and the skills the next generation may need more than IQ in the age of AI3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Humanity-centric innovation requires purpose and profit to work together.Pete Dulcamara defines humanity-centric innovation as solving major human problems through viable business models and exponential technologies. The point is not charity, but scalable solutions that create competitive advantage while improving people's lives.2. The next era of technology will be built on data, AI and robotics.Dulcamara compares data to the new oil, AI to the new electricity and robotics to the new steel. As these technologies converge, companies and schools will need to prepare people for a world where intelligent systems reshape products, industries and work itself.3. Technical education has to teach more than technical skill.As AI makes answers easier to access, students will need stronger curiosity, ethical judgment and adaptability. Dulcamara argues that STEM should be raised to the “power of E,” with ethics embedded into how students learn, build and apply technology.Resources in this Episode:Get Pete's book High-Tech Heroes: Why Gen Z is our Last and Best Chance to Save the PlanetTons of other books, podcasts and shows mentioned in this episode can be found on the show notes page: https://techedpodcast.com/dulcamara/We want to hear from you!

Once you know a system like the back of your hand, it's nearly impossible to change the way you think about the game. Changing systems just because you have players that don't fit it perfectly is similarly almost an impossible task. On this episode, Joe and Daniel discuss how to fit any defense to the players you have. They talk through player-Centric Coaching, fitting the defense to your players, and executing faster on defense with a player-centric culture.  

Dr. Stella Vnook, Co-Founder and Executive Chair of Kaida Biopharma, highlights the advantages for an early-stage biotech company to take a patient-centric perspective in drug development. She defines patient-centricity as focusing on whether a drug meaningfully improves a patient's life, which should influence decisions about trial design, endpoints, and side effects from the earliest stages. Kaida's work on a new treatment for ovarian cancer is designed to target tumor survival mechanisms and overcome treatment resistance, and has from the beginning taken into consideration the tolerability of treatments and the patient's quality of life. Stella explains, "We're so used to thinking drug-centric, and it's true that in the early stages of development, it's all about the molecule and the mechanism of action, and it's exciting to see how it works. But we really need to be thinking patient-centric because we will make decisions differently from the start. So it's not just about whether this drug works and how, but whether it meaningfully changes a patient's life. I think that's what patient-centric is or should be, because that would impact trial design, endpoints, and how we view tolerability or combination therapy."   "For ovarian cancer, women today may receive a variety of treatments. Now, let's talk about this for a second. It's the cancer that's usually diagnosed very late. That means the patient's tumor has already gone into the lymph nodes, and it's what we call a stage three PO4. The patients after surgery receive a variety of drugs such as platinum therapies or PARP, but they still may relapse, and they may become resistant to the therapy. Now, that initial therapy has probably had significant toxicity. Because they've become resistant to the therapy they received, now they have limited options. So fortunately, there are drugs that potentially could be eligible for FRA positive. There's been a lot of news about ELAHERE, which is great, but it's only 25% of the population, and many patients may never qualify for this treatment. So that's where Kaida comes in, because we're focusing on 80% of the population."  "Actually, the name Kaida is a dragon that eats its own tail. So that talks about the mechanism of action we've discussed: resistance. What we do is when the treatment has been given, it supports cell survival and actually eliminates the tumor's ability to replicate, which is called proliferation, causing it to destroy itself, which is called apoptosis. So in essence, the tumor disrupts itself because we're cutting off its support system." #Kaida #OvarianCancer #PatientCentric #OncologyInnovation #ProlactinReceptor #DrugDevelopment #AIinHealthcare #RealWorldEvidence #TolerabilityMatters #KaidaBiopharma #CancerCare Kaida-biopharma.com Download the transcript here

"Weight neutral healthcare will allow people to access healthcare in a non-stigmatized and welcoming way, and will be treated the same as a patient of any body size."Have you ever walked into a doctor's office excited about your progress with intuitive eating, only to leave questioning everything after your doctor brought the conversation back to your weight? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Jackie Liu, a third-year medical student at Harvard and co-advocacy lead for Medical Students for Size Inclusivity (MSSI). Together, we unpack what weight-neutral healthcare really looks like, why it matters, and how weight stigma impacts your ability to trust your body. We also explore the power dynamics in medical settings and share practical ways to advocate for yourself and find more supportive care so you can leave guilt and shame behind.✅ What You'll Learn:How weight neutral healthcare differs from the weight-focused appointments we're so used toWhy the healthcare system's view of bodies isn't the absolute truth, and why your body is not the problemThe impact weight stigma and anti-fat bias have on your willingness to seek care (and your self-blame)What it actually looks like to walk into a weight neutral appointment, and real-life examples you can use to advocate for yourselfThe shift happening among medical students and healthcare providers who are questioning the status quo
