According to McKinsey, 84% of execs say that innovation is important to their growth strategy. So how can organizations prioritize innovation in the year ahead? Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win Win podcast. I am your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Chris Ho, the sales asset manager at Uber for Business. Thanks for joining us, Chris. I would love for you to start by just telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Chris Ho: Hey Shawnna, thanks for having me here, super excited to be here today. My name’s Chris Ho. I’m currently based in San Francisco, California, and I’ve been here for about three years, and I originally grew up in Monterey, California. I’m currently a sales asset manager at Uber for Business, working under the sales enablement team, which sits under the larger umbrella of sales operations. I currently manage a few enablement tools, which include Highspot, Lessonly, Seismic Knowledge, and Gong. SS: Wonderful. Now, Chris, one of the things that I noticed as we were preparing for this podcast on LinkedIn is that you actually have an engineering background. How does that background influence your approach to enablement? CH: Sure. So when it comes to my work, I’m a very process and execution-oriented person. I also generally tend to take a data-driven approach to problem-solving. I imagine this way of thinking is largely attributed to my engineering background. I generally try to think in terms of what we can tangibly do. Bringing this back to enablement, you know, while sales enablement does, have a very high potential for positive impact, as we all know, I think it’s oftentimes difficult to concretely measure and communicate sales enablement's impact with existing tools. Not just our existing tools at Uber, but sales enablement tools in general. I think the sales enablement industry has a lot of analytical white space. I feel there’s a lot of benefit to be gained from better, more convincing correlations to business outcomes. I think many sales enablement teams, including ours, are well-positioned to provide convincing and data-driven correlations to business outcomes if given the right tools. SS: I love that. Can you give us a little more insight from your perspective? What does a good enablement strategy look like? And, you know, maybe in other words, what are some of the key components of your enablement strategy? CH: I think, we generally base our enablement strategy on principles. And the four main principles we tried to lock in, it’s going to be buy-in, engagement. scalability and support. And what do I mean by those? So buy-in is like a prerequisite to receiving any engagement from your participants. If there isn’t buy-in from your participants, or if they don’t believe in what you’re doing, then you can expect low engagement from them when you actually try to roll out the strategy. Engagement, you know, a lot of our job is about teaching behavior change and ensuring the adoption of new behaviors. In my opinion, participant engagement is absolutely necessary to realize any results from the things that we teach and implement. Then there’s scalability; a scalable strategy is a sustainable strategy. In order to have a consistent standard of excellence across large organizations, I think it’s critical to have a scalable process that can meet the needs of growth. And then lastly, support. So every enablement strategy, I think should have some sort of support system to back up the training, the teachings, and the coaching, whether it’s having a subject matter expert on call, PDF resources for best practices, or creating slack channels, or whatever. Or, you know, Google chat channels for quick answers. I think reps need support to sufficiently carry out their complex set of duties. SS: I love that four-pronged approach. And, you know, as you mentioned in your intro, you all leverage Highspot there. What role does Highspot play in your overall strategy for enablement and what, from your perspective, is the value of having an enablement platform? CH: I will preface that Highspot is a very useful tool for us and unlocks a lot of value, and it was fairly challenging to summarize this, but, you know, I think at its core Highspot serves as our central repository for sales content, internal and external. It currently provides a great means of distributing content and tracking engagement internally and externally. So this means tracking how our reps use content, as well as enabling them to see how their customers use our content. I think Highspot or, enablement platforms in general, provide a very unique, versatile, and intuitive way to track the performance and engagements of our sales team with the content that we distribute and hand out. So this enables us to create a data-driven feedback loop that informs how we iterate upon our enablement strategies in the future. SS: I love that. And since implementing Highspot, you have actually driven a lot of innovation around kind of the way that you guys leverage Highspot at Uber Business. One of those areas is with Digital Sales Rooms, which I know that you’ve put a lot of work into, and you’ve actually increased the usage by 75% in the last few months. Tell us a little bit about how you’re leveraging digital sales rooms, or DSRs for short, and maybe some of the results that you’re seeing. CH: Yeah, the different types of digital sales rooms our sales teams are generally using depend on the stage of the sales process that the seller is in. So for example, someone at the top of the sales funnel would likely use the digital sales room to provide living deal rooms that provide a personalized introduction to our products and services. Someone mid-funnel might use the digital sales rooms as a repository for posting content related to the customer’s mutual success plan, helping both parties stay aligned on the latest updates in the business relationship. Someone at the end of the funnel might use the digital sales room as a living customer support website to help customers post-launch. In terms of results in general, we’ve seen that a good digital sales room for a quality customer relationship can enable larger returns of use effectively. So, you know, at Uber, our digital sales room has served as a really great forum to get users and at Uber for business, we work with businesses and their employees. We see that the digital sales room has been a great value add for getting employees to get a taste of the products that we deliver. SS: I love that. And as I said, you are definitely on the cutting edge. And as we look to some of the innovations we have coming, we’ve heard that you’re really excited about a few features that are being launched. One is our team scorecard. I would love to understand from you how are you envisioning being able to leverage that and what’s exciting about it to you? CH: Going back to what we were talking about earlier with respect to there is a lot of analytical white space and sales enablement industry. I think the team’s scorecard really helps fulfill this gap that we’re seeing at its core. Prior to the team scorecard, we were always looking for ways to correlate our team’s performance and our team’s engagement with content and correlate that back to sales performance, and using a lot of roundabout and jerry-rigged ways to do this reporting and to surface results and any trends. I think the team scorecard is going to be a really great tool to be able to consolidate the information in an easily digestible way and allow us to distribute performance and any correlations without having to use so many different tools or integrations, etc. It’s all in one place being updated live as we go. SS: I love that. I think another area of innovation that has definitely driven a lot of excitement in the enablement space is artificial intelligence or AI. I’d love to get your perspective. Why, from your perspective, is AI an important topic to pay attention to, especially given the current sales landscape? CH: Yeah, in my opinion, if you’ve already used some sort of AI platform to help you with your work, you probably know that it can be extremely useful. With that being said, if you’re not already using it, I honestly think you’re probably behind. Your peers in the competition who are effectively using it are likely operating at a significantly higher productivity than what you might be used to. That’s just my take. The sales landscape in tech is increasingly becoming more complex, requiring a high cognitive load on our sales reps. AI will be instrumental in reducing this cognitive load while enhancing sales effectiveness through guided selling capabilities. What we want to do is get to a place where we can automate the best-recommended sales motions to sellers at the right time, giving them more time to focus on high-impact contributions to close the deal. SS: I love that. And specifically, how do you think AI is going to benefit the enablement industry? CH: Yeah, I think in short AI will scale the amount of enablement that can be provided by the same number of team members. It’ll allow enablement team members to focus on higher impact tasks while continuing to provide a tailored just in time learning and selling experience. SS: I love that. And you were actually a beta user of one of Highspot’s AI-driven features, Highspot Instant Answers. Can you provide some first-hand insight into how practitioners can use this feature and its potential impact? CH: Yeah. I have a fair amount of thoughts on Instant Answers. And I’ll start by saying that I think it’s a great product, a great feature, I should say. And we’ve been using it a lot. As of late, I think Highspot's Instant Answers have unlocked our ability to quickly update our knowledge base at scale, and also unlock all of the great insights and knowledge that our content management system has, which previously wasn’t always readily available. I think the most notable impact is that you can take advantage of the versatility of Highspot to create your own decentralized process for keeping content up to date, while centrally maintaining visibility and accounting for hygiene, all without too many steps. I know it sounds like a lot, but really, we want to get to a place where we can hand out the responsibility to the subject matter experts to update the content that they’re providing, and then centrally keep that visibility to make sure everyone’s being held accountable and everything’s updated and accurate. As folks are listening to this, and people are working with new AI tools, I think given the newness of AI-generated answers, it’s important that we continue to think of ways to reduce errors and human oversight. SS: I could not agree more. We’re all still learning our way through a lot of the new AI capabilities, but I am very excited that we have this path now toward being able to leverage AI to make all of us in enablement and our reps more efficient and more productive. So thank you, Chris. Last question for you, really appreciate it: as we continue to see all of this innovation in enablement technology, we’re What are your best practices for optimizing and evolving your enablement strategy to keep pace with this new innovation? CH: For a few years, I think it’s been a mission of most sales enablement teams or companies to consolidate and simplify the sales workflow from the technology perspective. Hence why so many places place such a strong emphasis on the importance of integrations as a prerequisite to onboarding any new software. And only now are companies producing their first iterations of a unified seller experience, conjoining CRM content management tools, learning platforms, knowledge platforms, etc, all into one. So in principle, I don’t think the best practices change. I think what’s been most helpful for us with the advent of so many new technologies being implemented is to constantly have your ear to the ground, building relationships with sales and gathering buy-in piece by piece as early as possible; and extra emphasis on the “as early as possible” and “piece by piece”. We’ve almost considered it like a cheat code to success. I think oftentimes when you’re rolling out new platforms, and new innovations to a large set of people, we all know that there’s so much reluctancy involved with adopting new behaviors. So we found that it’s absolutely critical to really have the boots on the ground, and work on one-on-one to understand the seller experience and slowly gather and accumulate that buy-in from the decision makers that you work with cross-functionally. SS: I love that, and I love that you guys are trend-setting at Uber Business. You’ve done a fantastic job there, Chris. And thank you so much for joining this podcast. I really appreciate the time. CH: Yes, thank you so much for having me, it’s been great. SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Frohe Weihnachten; Der Kühlschrank piept und es nervt; Wie geht Design besser anstelle von nervigen Warntönen?; Geräuschliche Eskalationsstufen und lustige Soundeffekte von Alex und Chris Ho ho ho, frohe Weihnachten! Wir wünschen eine ruhige und erholsame Weihnachtszeit. Apropos ruhig oder eher nicht ruhig: Alex geht das ständige Gepiepe von Gerätschaften auf die Nerven. Vor allem das Piepen von offenen Kühlschränken und Autos, die sich beschweren, wenn man noch nicht angeschnallt ist; also im Auto nicht schnell angeschnallt ist. Der eigentliche Nutzen: Uns auf etwas hinzuweisen, ist hier irgendwie unglücklich umgesetzt. Stört das Chris auch? Und die Designfrage: Geht das nicht besser? Denn... it's not good for Alex‘ mental health.Von seufzenden Türen in “Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis“, die sich freuen, wenn Personen eintreten hin zu trällernden Geburtstagskarten, die nicht aufhören zu trällern. Es gibt viele 'piepende' Situationen, die im schlimmsten Fall zu einer geräuschlichen Eskalation führen können, wie Alex bei einer Uber Fahrt erlebt und erleiden musste.Die verschiedenen Eskalationsstufen von Geräuschen, Chris hat Technik-Tourette, bei schimpfenden Spurhalteassistenten und unnötigen Bremswarnungen. Nervt euch das nicht auch?Vielleicht wäre es lustiger, von den Geräten beleidigt zu werden, anstatt des nervenden Pieptons. Obwohl Alex Technik liebt, wählt er mittlerweile immer die Gerätevariante ohne App. Denn ein smartes Gerät mit schlechter Software ist schlimmer als ein nicht smartes Gerät.Wir landen bei der Frage nach sinnvoller Technologie und ob ständige Softwareupdates wirklich notwendig sind. Vielleicht ist digital nicht automatisch smart.Folge uns auf einer diesmal nicht allzu abschweifenden spannenden Folge mit hoffentlich imposanten Geräuschnachmacheffekten von Alex und Chris. Hinterlass uns auch gerne Feedback, wie dir unsere Episoden gefallen. Hörst du trotzdem unsere Folge, auch wenn wir zu sehr vom Thema abweichen? Das würde uns brennend interessieren. In der Folge erwähnt:Douglas Adams: Per Anhalter durch die GalaxisArtikel von Jose Gilgado "the beauty of finished software": https://josem.co/the-beauty-of-finished-software/

Important quotes from Naval on building wealth and the difference between wealth and money:   How to get rich without getting lucky. - Naval Ravikant   Making money is not a thing you do—it's a skill you learn. - Naval Ravikant   I came up with the principles in my tweetstorm (below) for myself when I was really young, around thirteen or fourteen. I've been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I've been living them. Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Seek wealth, not money or status. - Naval Ravikant   Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   Money is how we transfer time and wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.    You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.  - Naval Ravikant   The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn. The old model of making money is going to school for four years, getting your degree, and working as a professional for thirty years. But things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it's obsolete four years later. But within those three productive years, you can get very wealthy. - Naval Ravikant     Important quotes from the podcast by Naval on Leverage:   “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”  —Archimedes    To get rich, you need leverage. Leverage comes in labor, comes in capital, or it can come through code or media. But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you. For labor, somebody has to follow you. For capital, somebody has to give you money, assets to manage, or machines. - Naval Ravikant   Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media). - Naval Ravikant   Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you. - Naval Ravikant   Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. - Naval Ravikant   Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment. - Naval Ravikant   Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve. - Naval Ravikant   “We live in an age of infinite leverage, and the economic rewards for genuine intellectual curiosity have never been higher. Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” - Naval Ravikant   Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.    But usually, the real wealth is created by starting your own companies or even by investing. In an investment firm, they're buying equity. These are the routes to wealth. It doesn't come through the hours. - Naval Ravikant

We can make conscious decisions about how we live together in closer proximity that allow for both cultural diversity and a shared sense of community. Ján Jakub Naništa/Unsplash This is a podcast discussing topics raised in our series, Australian Cities in the Asian Century. These articles draw on research, just published in a special issue of Geographical Research, into how Australian cities are being influenced by the rise of China and associated flows of people, ideas and capital between China and Australia. Migration and population growth are hot-button issues in Australian politics at the moment. State and federal election campaigns have and will focus on them for probably years to come, and it’s not just a local phenomenon: by 2030 it’s estimated 60% of the world’s population will live in cities. Most of the time discussions about the impacts are focused on external pressures – things like road congestion and infrastructure investment – but as more and more people are living in high-density housing, issues of cultural diversity and how we live together in such close proximity are just as important. How do we make sure we can live comfortably and respect each other? And how could policy change the sense of ownership we have over ever smaller personal spaces? Dallas Rogers speaks with Christina Ho and Edgar Liu about the changing ways we’re living in Australian cities, and how little attention has been given to what’s happening inside the apartment buildings of our cities. Music Free Music Archive: Ketsa - Catching Feathers Dallas Rogers recently received funding from The Henry Halloran Trust, Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI), Urban Growth NSW, Landcom, University of Sydney, Western Sydney University, and Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA).

In Sydney, changing international migration patterns and the rise of apartment living means people of different cultural backgrounds are regularly interacting with each other inside their high-density buildings. And it’s not without its problems. In 2016, it was estimated that around 55 per cent of the world's population now lived in cities. By 2030, urban areas are projected to house 60 per cent of the world’s population. While migration and compact city policies are rarely seen as intersecting by policy makers, cultural difference and living in close proximity to each other can compound the tensions that already exist in apartment buildings and society more broadly. These tensions could be about shoes being left in common areas, or washing hung on balconies, or 'offensive' cooking smells wafting beyond the kitchen walls and down the halls. These tensions are connected to the gradual shift away from migrants from countries such as the UK and the increase in migrants from countries such as China and India. Today we’re talking to Chris Ho from the University of Technology and Edgar Liu from the University of New South Wales, about how high density living and cultural diversity are changing the way we live in Australian cities. And when it comes to intercultural relations, little attention has been given to what’s happening inside the apartments building of our cities. Guests Dr Christina Ho is a Senior Lecturer & Discipline Coordinator, Social and Political Sciences, within the Communications program, based in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.  Chris is interested in: multiculturalism, diversity politics and cosmopolitanism; migration policy and migrant experiences; cultural and national identity formation among migrants; Chinese migration to Australia, including Chinese international students; Muslim diasporas and gender; cultural citizenship and community arts; segregation and schooling; and ethnic concentration and community building in urban areas.  Dr Edgar Liu is a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Built Environment's City Futures Research Centre. He joined the Centre in April 2009 soon after completing his PhD in cultural geography at the University of New South Wales. His research primarily focuses on assessing the effectiveness of public housing estate regeneration in Australia; service integration and Indigenous housing; affordable housing; housing choice decision-making; and concepts of community and place.

However when this version is released currently the videos of Combiner Wars have been made "Private" on the Machinima official youtube page, we hope they will go back up for everyone to watch in the future.

Are you ready for this rumble in the urban jungle?? Chris Ho vs Joe Bellezzo in the no holds barred debate about whether ECMO CPR is a step too far? The next cage match from SMACC Chicago. The post EDECMO 26 – “ECPR is a Step Too Far” – Ho vs. Bellezzo: a SMACCback Chicago Cage Match appeared first on ED ECMO.

Are you ready for this rumble in the urban jungle?? Chris Ho vs Joe Bellezzo in the no holds barred debate about whether ECMO CPR is a step too far? The next cage match from SMACC Chicago. Chris and Joe are the director and vice-director respectively, of Emergency Medicine at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, California. They are two of the leading experts in ECPR, with Joe being one of the key players behind EDECMO. On a day-to-day basis, they are friends and colleagues, working together in one of the very few centers around the world to deliver ECPR. However in this Cage Match, friends become foe and there are no limitations to how far each will go to prove their side of the debate. On the AFFIRMATIVE side, Chris Ho delivers a convincing argument for why ECPR IS a step too far. From lack of evidence to the cost of “re-animating the dead” and everything in between, Chris Ho delivers a practical approach to the argument and demonstrates without a doubt why we are not ready for this to be the next step in resuscitation. On the NEGATIVE side, Joe Bellezzo delivers an outstanding rebuttal to “Dr Ho’s Nutty Brown Bullshit”. In an inspiring argument filled with anecdotes and occasional facts, Joe Bellezzo makes it impossible to think the ECPR shouldn’t be the next step in our ALS algorithm. Despite strong arguments from either side, as in all debates, there must be a winner. Do you agree with the outcome? If you want to find out whether Chris and Joe were able to kiss and make up, check out the exclusive ICN interview with the two, where they discuss more on ECPR.

SMACC BACK!  In the third interview of the series, Sophie and myself get the opportunity to discuss all things ECMO with leading experts of ED ECMO, Joe Bellezzo and Chris Ho.  Following their highly entertaining cage match at SMACC Chicago in which Joe and Chris are forced to take opposing sides on ED ECMO, we get to hear their real opinions on how this equipment is becoming more and more accessible and valuable in the resus scenario. Between the friendly banter, Joe and Chris have some incredible insights into the future of ECPR.  We hope to see a lot more of these guys at SMACC next year!
