The three dimensions of determining critical roles are relative impact, time to productivity, and number of people and positions occupying these roles. How do we determine the roles that give us competitive advantage and are creating disproportionate value for our business? Join us to discuss critical roles and to reflect on our previous episodes and look forward to what we have in store for the next season.

Adam Smith narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog Adam underscores the vital but often overlooked roles that Research Nurses, Clinical Trial Practitioners, and other Leaders and coordinators play in clinical trials. Drawing from his years at UCL and the NIHR, Adam points out that the shortage of these key professionals is could hinder the progress in dementia teatments. As new trials for Alzheimer's are on the horizon, Adam argues that filling these roles is essential for translating lab discoveries into patient benefits. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-critical-roles-that-fuel-clinical-trials/ -- Adam Smith was born in the north, a long time ago. He wanted to write books, but ended up working in the NHS, and at the Department of Health.  He is now Programme Director in the Office of the NIHR National Director for Dementia Research (which probably sounds more important than it is) at University College London. He has led a number of initiatives to improve dementia research (including this website, Join Dementia Research & ENRICH), as well as pursuing his own research interests. In his spare time, he grows vegetables, builds Lego & spends most of his time drinking too much coffee and squeezing technology into his house. -- Enjoy listening?

Today I was joined by Sid Barnes, Founder of Mastermind Consulting and advisor to Recruitment Owners after 23 successful years in the sector. In this episode we focused on the fact that recruitment leaders are now forced to roll up their sleeves and get back on the sales floor. Undoubtedly a very difficult market today, Sid revealed that all of his clients are still making placements however the difference is the only jobs are those mission critical to business success. He likened the situation to our daily lives - "we aren't currently out buying nice to have items but we are all buying the daily essentials such as food.” He also shared lots of detail around the 4 different economic scenarios that we are likely to face as we look to come out of this pandemic as soon as possible.  A straight talker with lots of great knowledge and experience, you can connect with Sid and ask any questions here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sid-barnes-0642b21/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sid-barnes-0642b21/)

The concept of using foreign correspondents housed in other countries to help inform the American public of the news is a concept that goes back to Colonial days. Yet today, news organizations have drastically cut back on full-time correspondents abroad opting instead for a smaller reporting corps and the use of free-lancers and citizen journalists. So says long-time journalists and authors John Maxwell Hamilton and Peter Copeland as they discussed the history, present and future of using foreign correspondents to report news to America. Hamilton claims that Colonists re-published the news from newspapers abroad that arrived in the Colonies on ships. He says that the interest in the American public, at that time, was high to learn of news from the homelands of immigrants. Foreign correspondents also were used to convey news in the 19th Century and on through the 20th Century, according to Hamilton. He believes, however, that the pinnacle of the status of the foreign correspondent was between World War I and World War II. Copeland states unfortunately that news organizations started cutting foreign correspondent staffs as a cost cutting measure at the end of the 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st Century. He notes that now news organizations are relying more and more on freelance correspondents or citizen reporting through smart phones. He notes that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to check the accuracy of the some citizen reporting from world hotspots, thereby making accurate reporting difficult, at times. Hamilton is the Hopkins P. Breazeale Professor in Louisiana State University’s Manship School of Journalism and a Senior Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, in Washington, D.C. He also was the founding dean of the Manship School and served as executive vice chancellor and provost at LSU. His most recent book is “Journalism’s Roving Eye” that won the Goldsmith Prize. Copeland has been a reporter for four decades and has covered everything from local crime stories to foreign news as a correspondent. He most recently was the editor and general manager of the Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, D.C. His latest book has just been released. It is “Finding the News: Adventures of a Young Reporter.” It is a recount of part of Copeland’s career but it also offers advice for aspiring young journalists.

Asha Saxena explores cognitive technologies and artificial intelligence with Deloitte Consulting cognitive analytics and RP alliance portfolio leader, Tracy Ring Cryder. In this episode we explore how businesses are taking a second look at cognitive technologies thanks to wide advancements in these technologies in recent years and the type of impact we can expect from more businesses adopting these technologies. Technology is evolving all the time and the better industry leaders, in all business sectors, understand the technology available to them, the wiser decisions they can make about investing in these technologies. What you’ll learn in this episode: The surprising ways most businesses begin the process of procuring new visualization tools and why that means that anyone in the organization now has the opportunity to influence the future or organizations Why Tracy believes it’s important for businesses to get accustomed to change – because technology is evolving so rapidly forcing change in many cases The reason Tracy’s organization shifted down from five-year roadmaps and strategies to only three and how she’d like to see it shift further down, to 12 or fewer months if possible Why Tracy believes it’s important to bridge the gap between business and technology and how businesses are becoming more tech savvy and tech companies are becoming more business savvy, creating better innovation and products How young professionals and interns are driving innovation in the workplace and why that’s a great thing for businesses The roles women play in driving technology and how it’s not only young women that are playing major roles in this push The huge gender gap in the technology industry and how the numbers of female executives in successful firms were more than double the number of female executives in unsuccessful firms How women are uniquely positioned to deal with the diverse challenges presented by technology in business Why diversity drives not only technology, but also business success as well, which is why it’s important to hear many voices in the process Ways to contact Tracy: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tracyring

Big Data 2.0: Critical Roles for Libraries and Librarians Big Data is a live issue in e-commerce and market intelligence, e-government and politics, national security, and smart healthcare; a key feature of digital scholarship and open science; and an emergent concern for education and the cultural heritage sectors. Big Data 2.0 raises the stakes: the convergence of e-science with business intelligence, crowdsourcing, data analytics, social media, and Web2.0 technologies allows broader and deeper applications, involving cooperative processing of structured and unstructured data. Hype around the "data talent gap" highlights a shortage of candidates for data science jobs with the requisite computational and analytical skills, but informed observers point to an equally critical need for competence in digital curation to ensure proper stewardship of data, best done by institutions with preservation know-how. Libraries already provide data literacy education, research data services, data mining support, and open linked data, but should now engage with the Big Data initiatives launched in the US and globally as collaborative, interdisciplinary, cross-sector endeavors predicated on large-scale community participation. The session explains how data-intensive research is moving to new levels of technical and organizational complexity, promising advances in human knowledge for the benefit of society, but raising critical issues for institutions and individuals relevant to information professionals. Presentation PDF Sheila Corrall,Professor University of Pittsburgh, Department of Information Culture & Data Stewardship Website Sheila Corrall worked in UK public, special, and national libraries in acquisitions, cataloging, reference and information services, before moving into higher education, where she served as university librarian at two institutions and as CIO at a large research university. In 2004, she became Professor of Library & Information Management at the University of Sheffield, then head of the Sheffield iSchool, before moving to the US in 2012 to lead the LIS program at Pittsburgh. She is lead faculty for the academic libraries track at Pitt, where she teaches courses on Academic Libraries, Research Methods, and Academic Culture & Practice. Her research interests include the changing roles and skills of librarians in the digital world, particularly in information literacy, research data, scholarly communications, and the open movement in higher ed. She serves on the advisory boards of Credo Reference and Facet Publishing and on the editorial boards of six international journals.

The Software Process and Measurement Cast 387 includes three features.  The first is our essay on storytelling.  Storytelling is a tool that is useful in many scenarios, for presentations, to help people frame their thoughts and for gathering information. A story provides both a deeper and more nuanced connection with information than most lists of PowerPoint bullets or even structured requirements documents. The essay provides an excellent supplement to our interview with Jason Little (which you can listen to here). The second feature this week is Steve Tendon discussing Chapter 9 of Tame The Flow: Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Performance, The TameFlow Approach and Its Application to Scrum and Kanban published J Ross. Chapter 9 is titled “Critical Roles, Leadership and More”.  We discuss why leadership roles are important to achieve hyper-productive performance. Sometimes in Agile and other approaches, it is easy to overlook the role of leaders outside of the team. Remember Steve has a great offer for SPaMCAST listeners. Check `out  https://tameflow.com/spamcast for a way to get Tame The Flow: Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Performance, The TameFlow Approach, and Its Application to Scrum and Kanban at 40% off the list price. Anchoring the cast this week is a visit to the QA Corner.  Jeremy Berriault discusses whether a career and the path your career might take in testing is an individual or a team sport.  Jeremy dispenses useful advice even if you are not involved in testing. Re-Read Saturday News This week we are back with Chapter 14 of How to Measure Anything, Finding the Value of “Intangibles in Business” Third Edition by Douglas W. Hubbard on the Software Process and Measurement Blog.  Chapter 14 is titled A Universal Measurement Method.  In this chapter, Hubbard provides the readers with a process for applying Applied Information Economics.
