Today's guest is Marc Fredman, Chief Strategy Officer at CCC Intelligent Solutions. Marc joins Emerj CEO and Head of Research Daniel Faggella to discuss how leading insurers are using AI to manage growing complexity across the insurance supply chain — from vehicle damage assessment to claim settlement and subrogation. He breaks down where AI is already delivering value across the claims process — including computer vision for total loss prediction, generative AI for document summarization, and predictive analytics for early subrogation detection. Marc emphasizes the need for insurers to shift their mindset from siloed departments to orchestrators of an interconnected “insurance economy” involving repair shops, OEMs, medical providers, and more. He also shares strategies for adopting AI at scale — starting with quick-win use cases that fund the journey, designing pathways to production, and integrating AI side by side with human expertise to improve speed, accuracy, and customer experience.

What if you could close the gap between what you think your customers experience and what they actually feel—using raw, unfiltered feedback you can see and hear for yourself? In a constantly evolving digital landscape, the journey from a customer's very first click to their final interaction is more complex—and crucial—than ever before. But many leaders believe that their customer experience is far better than it really is—a costly blind spot that leads to missed opportunities for building trust and loyalty. How can organizations truly see their products and services through their customers' eyes and outpace the competition in building brand confidence? You won't want to miss this week's Delighted Customers Podcast, where Mark Slatin sits down with Baran Erkel, Chief Strategy Officer at User Testing. Baran's rich background—from developer to consulting to enterprise SaaS leadership—gives him a unique 360-degree view on why empathy at scale is the new differentiator and how User Testing's platform enables businesses to bring the authentic voice of the customer into every decision. If you're a leader who wants to turn insight into action, streamline feedback loops, and future-proof experiences in the age of AI, Baran's expertise is essential listening. Here are three compelling questions Baran Erkel answers on this episode: Why is traditional customer feedback (like NPS surveys) not enough for truly understanding and closing the customer experience gap? How does User Testing enable organizations to “get out of the building” and immerse themselves in real-time, video-based customer feedback—even at scale? What is the transformative role of AI in the future of human insights, feedback, and designing for trust?

Nonprofit mergers and partnerships aren't just survival tactics—they're strategic opportunities to multiply impact and secure long-term sustainability. This compelling conversation with Jennifer Riha, Chief Strategy Officer, and Trent Stechschulte, Chief Legal Officer at Boundless, unveils how strategic growth has transformed their organization's ability to fulfill its mission of realizing the boundless potential of all people.Today's health and human services organizations face a perfect storm: skyrocketing demand for services while resources and qualified staff become increasingly scarce. Against this backdrop, Boundless has pioneered a proactive approach to partnerships that challenges traditional nonprofit thinking. As Trent memorably states, "not-for-profit is a tax status with the IRS—not a business plan."Jennifer shares how strategic mergers have expanded Boundless from serving specific populations in limited areas to reaching over 6,000 individuals annually across Ohio. Their sophisticated partnership toolkit—including scoring systems for potential partners and comprehensive integration planning—ensures these unions truly amplify impact rather than simply combining assets. The results speak volumes: when Koinonia joined Boundless in 2023, staff immediately received higher wages and better benefits, while clients gained access to specialized services previously unavailable in their region.Perhaps most compelling is how these partnerships create the financial leverage needed for innovation. With nonprofit margins typically under 5%, organic growth alone can't generate sufficient resources for technological advancement or program expansion. Strategic partnerships create the scale necessary to invest in the future.    Curious how your organization might benefit from strategic partnerships? Listen now to discover practical insights on building a more sustainable, impactful future for your nonprofit mission.

Mohamed, Chief Strategy Officer at ABC Fitness and founder of Sweatworks, challenges the notion that healthy living is unaffordable or inaccessible. "You just have to move for 20 minutes a day, drink water, and make smart choices," he explains, drawing from his personal journey that began in Dubai where fitness was naturally integrated into daily life.After moving to America at age 11, Mohamed experienced the processed food culture firsthand, gaining weight before discovering the principles that would transform his health and eventually shape his career. With a front-row seat to the mobile revolution while working with Apple on the iPhone launch, he recognized technology's potential to make fitness more accessible by removing the intimidation factor. This vision led him to found Sweatworks in 2012, developing hardware and software solutions that bridge the gap between traditional fitness experiences and digital engagement.The conversation reveals a powerful perspective shift for studio owners: acquiring customers costs approximately three times more than retaining existing ones. Mohamed advocates for investing in exceptional member experiences through strategic technology implementation that enhances rather than replaces human connection. From using wearable data to personalize workouts to implementing discreet digital solutions for administrative tasks, the future of fitness lies at the intersection of data and human touch. As we move from an era of convenience to one focused on experiences, fitness businesses that find the right balance between technology and genuine community will thrive. Whether you're a studio owner looking to improve retention or simply someone trying to make healthier choices, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating the evolving fitness landscape.Support the showSubscribe to our Newsletter: https://creatitive.com/fit-to-grit-cast/

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here During her trip to Wales, Jan Griffiths took a call from CBS Detroit to weigh in on tariffs. That conversation led her to a bigger question: even if we bring manufacturing back to the U.S., do we have the workforce to support it?This led to this conversation with Torsten Schimanski, the Chief Strategy Officer at NJMEP, who's spent years addressing the talent gap in U.S. manufacturing.In this episode, Torsten explains that millions of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. could go unfilled in the coming years, and current efforts to address this issue will not be enough to close the gap.The industry is facing decades-old perceptions of manufacturing work, a massive generational exit, and the reality that most companies don't have a clear talent pipeline or long-term plan. Torsten doesn't just see this as an HR problem. He sees it as a supply chain issue.So, he introduces an innovative approach: apply core supply chain tools—demand planning, sourcing, supplier management—to workforce strategy. That means forecasting the skills you'll need, identifying where you'll get them, and making retention a priority before it becomes a crisis.Torsten also criticizes the passive mindset that waits for the government or outside forces to “fix” the problem. In his words, if you're waiting for someone else to build your workforce, your business might not be around much longer.He's clear about what will happen if we don't take action: production delays, rising costs, quality issues, and constant turnover. Even automation won't save us if no one's trained to run or maintain the machines.This isn't a future problem. It's already here. And if manufacturing companies want to survive the next decade, they must take ownership of workforce development—starting now.Themes discussed in this episode:The workforce shortage threatening the future of U.S. manufacturingWhy manufacturing workforce development needs a supply chain strategyThe effects of baby boomer retirements on manufacturing labor shortagesHow outdated perceptions of factory jobs affect workforce recruitmentThe business risks of ignoring workforce development in manufacturing operationsHow to apply supply chain strategies to manufacturing workforce planningHow NJMEP supports small manufacturers with workforce training programsWhy manufacturers must lead workforce development—not wait for government solutionsFeatured on this episode:Name: Torsten SchimanskiTitle: Chief Strategy Officer at New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP)About: Torsten is the Chief Strategy Officer at the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program (NJMEP), a nonprofit focused on supporting and advancing manufacturing in New Jersey.
