Bernie Maloney: Problems vs. Solutions: The Great Product Owner Distinction Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Strategic Problem Solver Bernie describes an exemplary Product Owner from a stealth program sponsored by a CTO, where the company needed to create new intellectual property. This Great Product Owner understood that Agile operates in three dimensions: most organizations only focus on outputs and delivery (first dimension), some reach outcomes (second dimension), but the truly great ones operate in the third dimension of strategic or business agility - defining problems worth solving. This Product Owner knew that high-performing teams need to understand what problem is worth solving rather than just receiving solutions to build. They embraced the Mobius loop approach, focusing on discovering the right problems rather than jumping straight to solutions. In this segment, we refer to the Mobius Loop, and to Steve Blank's work on the job of a startup.  We also refer to the episode with Elliott Parker on the critical importance of the “startup mindset” to foster innovation in larger organizations.  The Bad Product Owner: The Backlog Jockey with Authority Issues Bernie identifies the anti-pattern of Product Owners being treated as mere "backlog jockeys" by their organizations, which forces them into solution-building mode rather than problem-solving mode. These Product Owners don't understand the importance of saying "no" and lack clarity about intent and goals. The worst case Bernie encountered was a team manager who also served as Product Owner, wielding positional authority that shut down team communication. This person would interrupt daily scrums, causing teams to revert to waiting for direction rather than self-organizing. The combination of unclear intent and positional authority creates a toxic environment that destroys team autonomy and psychological safety. Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner focused on defining problems worth solving, or are they primarily managing a backlog of predetermined solutions?

We talk a lot about AI as if it can fix broken systems. But what happens when the underlying data is too messy, too slow, or too disconnected to support anything useful? That's the problem Manish Sood, founder and CTO of Reltio, has spent the last decade working to solve. Reltio is not your average data company. It sits behind some of the world's most recognisable brands, helping names like L'Oréal, Pfizer, HP, and CarMax modernise how they manage and activate data across the business. What they all share is a recognition that outdated systems and disconnected records don't just slow down insights. They actively block innovation. Manish breaks this down with uncommon clarity. He calls it “data debt”—the invisible burden of stale, incomplete, or fragmented information that quietly kills speed and adds risk. It's not just a technical problem. It's a leadership challenge, especially as businesses adopt generative AI tools that rely on clean, contextual data to function reliably. We explore how real-time intelligence is changing the way companies operate across customer experience, fraud detection, and supply chain resilience. Manish shares examples from enterprise clients who have moved from legacy systems to unified platforms, and how that shift enabled smarter decision-making at scale. From personalised retail offers to proactive healthcare outreach, the stories point to one common truth: if the data isn't trusted, the AI cannot be either. There's also a new role emerging inside many companies—the data steward as AI enabler. These are the people ensuring that data isn't just stored, but shaped. Human-guided, explainable, traceable. That clarity is key to responsible AI, especially in sectors where compliance and reputation are tightly linked. Manish also explains how Reltio's platform helps businesses protect against AI vulnerabilities by enabling resilient data pipelines, consistent governance, and real-time monitoring. In a world where data is created and used simultaneously, batch syncing is not enough. Real-time pipelines give companies the confidence to experiment with AI without falling into chaos. If your business is chasing innovation without cleaning up its data layer first, this conversation is a wake-up call. Manish shows that the future of AI isn't about who builds the best model. It's about who feeds it the best foundation. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Yoav Oz is the Co-Founder and CEO of Rep AI, the conversational commerce platform giving online shoppers the kind of guided experience you'd expect from an in-store salesperson.The spark came from Yoav's own frustration: landing on ecommerce sites where he was ready to buy but stuck with eight pages of product copy and no one to answer his questions. Call centers felt broken. Chatbots felt generic. Out of that gap came Rep,  short for “representative”: an AI sales assistant trained to step in at the exact right moment, with the context of everything a shopper has clicked, viewed, or abandoned.Yoav isn't building alone. Alongside him is Shauli Mizrahi, Rep's CTO and co-founder, who brings years of experience in behavioral AI. Together, they've built a tool that doesn't just cut support costs: it upsells, converts hesitant browsers, and helps brands maximize the traffic they've already paid to bring in.Their story blends SaaS know-how with ecommerce scrappiness: from proving AI could act like a real salesperson, to showing how conversational data can optimize entire funnels, to scaling integrations that slot into any brand's existing stack.Whether you're running a DTC store, trying to push up average order value, or rethinking how AI fits into your tech stack, Yoav shares a candid look at why the ecommerce funnel is broken and how Rep AI is working to fix it.In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:48] Intro[01:22] Sharing career paths before entrepreneurship[03:23] Bridging gaps between chatbots and consumers[07:01] Shifting mindset from support to revenue[08:33] Training AI with millions of conversations[12:55] Optimizing websites beyond guesswork[15:41] Creating experiences that drive purchases[17:16] Personalizing offers beyond discounts[18:11] Customizing tone of voice for every brandResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeeCommerce shopping AI agent www.hellorep.ai/Follow Yoav Oz linkedin.com/in/yoavozFollow Shauli Mizrahi linkedin.com/in/shaulimizrachyIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Up first, the ASW news of the week. At Black Hat 2025, Doug White interviews Ted Shorter, CTO of Keyfactor, about the quantum revolution already knocking on cybersecurity's door. They discuss the terrifying reality of quantum computing's power to break RSA and ECC encryption—the very foundations of modern digital life. With 2030 set as the deadline for transitioning away from legacy crypto, organizations face a race against time. Ted breaks down what "full crypto visibility" really means, why it's crucial to map your cryptographic assets now, and how legacy tech—from robotic sawmills to outdated hospital gear—poses serious risks. The interview explores NIST's new post-quantum algorithms, global readiness efforts, and how Keyfactor's acquisitions of InfoSec Global and Cipher Insights help companies start the quantum transition today—not tomorrow. Don't wait for the breach. Watch this and start your quantum strategy now. If digital trust is the goal, cryptography is the foundation.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1141: Tesla drops a philosophy-heavy master plan that barely mentions EVs. Palmer Luckey becomes the first to fly the Jetson One eVTOL. And McKinsey pushes back on AI job fears with a boost in entry-level hiring.Tesla's “Master Plan Part IV” is here, and it might just be the most philosophical of the bunch. With barely a mention of actual cars, the company appears to be pivoting hard toward artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, and an ambitious goal they call “sustainable abundance.”The document positions Tesla as a leader in building tools that "bring AI into the physical world."The original "Master Plans" outlined clear goals: launch EVs, scale production, and push solar. Fewer than 200 words of Part IV reference Tesla's current or future products, with humanoid robot Optimus taking center stage.The plan leans heavily into themes like "Growth is infinite" and "Innovation removes constraints" instead of product roadmaps.Electric vehicles are only mentioned in the context of the past; the future is autonomy, labor automation, and AI computing.Musk has said Tesla's humanoid robots will account for “~80% of Tesla's long-term value.”Tech founder Palmer Luckey just became the first customer to take delivery of the Jetson One — a personal electric aircraft that doesn't even require a pilot's license. And yes, he took it for a spin.The Oculus and Anduril founder lifted off in Carlsbad, CA after just 50 minutes of training.Jetson One is a $128,000 single-seat eVTOL with 20-minute flight time and 63 mph top speed.Luckey's flight kicks off Jetson's official global rollout; 2025 and 2026 models are already sold out.Jetson's CTO says their goal is to “move ground-based transportation up to the air.”At a time when many fear AI will make junior roles obsolete, McKinsey is leaning in the opposite direction. The firm announced it plans to grow North American hiring by 12% in 2026, with a focus on entry-level talent — especially those fluent in emerging tech.McKinsey currently employs 5,000–7,000 non-partners in North America and could grow that number by up to 20% in five years.North America chair Eric Kutcher values younger workers' fluency in tech: “The 20-year-old econ major… is way more in tune.”Kutcher emphasized that while AI may improve efficiency, it frees up teams to pursue growth initiatives — not layoffs.Many CEOs aren't excited by cost-cutting; they're eager to redirect resources toward new opportunities, he noted.“What we will work on will still require the same level of intellect… doing the things that you can't do with machines,” said Kutcher.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In “AI Literacy in Logistics with Gather AI's Andrew Hoffman”, Joe Lynch and Andrew Hoffman, CTO at Gather AI, discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming warehouse operations by using visual data from drones and other machines to identify issues, suggest next steps, and ultimately improve efficiency and accuracy. About Andrew Hoffman Andrew Hoffman is the Chief Technical Officer at Gather.ai, an AI-powered intralogistics optimization firm that empowers 3PLs, manufacturers, and retailers to improve margins and on-time order fulfillment in the widest range of logistics environments - from ambient to cold chain storage. Andrew has technical and leadership experience scaling supply chain-focused robotics companies from founding to exit, with over 20 patents in logistics, robotics, and robot coordination. He was a founding engineer at two supply chain robotics companies which were later acquired by Amazon – Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics) and CANVAS Technology. Most recently, he served as an Entrepreneur in Residence at tech-focused venture capital firm, Xplorer Capital, a Gather AI investor. About Gather AI Gather AI is an intralogistics AI company which collects visual data from drones, forklifts, and connected machines, integrates it with warehouse management systems (WMS) and cloud platforms, and uses AI to identify issues and suggest next steps. Key Takeaways: AI Literacy in Logistics In “AI Literacy in Logistics with Gather AI's Andrew Hoffman”, Joe Lynch and Andrew Hoffman, CTO at Gather AI, discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming warehouse operations by using visual data from drones and other machines to identify issues, suggest next steps, and ultimately improve efficiency and accuracy. AI as a Co-Pilot, Not a Replacement: The podcast reframes artificial intelligence as a collaborative tool that amplifies human capability. Much like a calculator assists a mathematician, AI acts as a "co-pilot" in the warehouse, providing real-time data and insights that enable staff to work more efficiently and accurately. Demystifying Core Concepts: The discussion breaks down key industry terms, clarifying the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) (the broad field of intelligent machines) and machine learning (ML) (the specific technique of systems learning from data). It also defines computer vision as the ability of a machine to "see" and interpret a warehouse environment. Proven ROI and Real-World Results: The episode highlights a concrete case study with Stadium Goods, a customer of Gather AI. By using the company's solution, they increased inventory accuracy to over 99%, reduced "inventory shrink" from 2% to a fraction of a percent, and saved over $200,000 by eliminating manual counting. Actionable Insights from Data: The conversation explains that AI systems learn from data over time, allowing them to transform complex data queries into natural language questions. This helps warehouse staff make better decisions on the fly, such as locating a specific pallet or finding an empty space in an aisle. The Collaborative "Agent": The concept of an "agent" in AI is reframed from a technical term to a collaborative entity. Gather AI's system—the drone, software, and computer vision—works as a partner to the warehouse staff, providing the data needed for faster, more accurate decisions and freeing up employees for more valuable tasks. A Leader with a Track Record of Innovation: Andrew Hoffman's background as a founding engineer at two logistics robotics companies, both later acquired by Amazon, establishes his deep expertise. His journey offers valuable insight into the past and future of scaling technology in the supply chain industry. A Clear Path to Getting Started with AI: For listeners looking to begin their AI journey, the podcast recommends starting with a pilot project to solve one specific problem, such as cycle counting. It also advises seeking partners who offer a comprehensive solution and a clear path to return on investment, rather than just a technology.

More than 7.5 million global cyber incidents were reported in the first half of 2025, a 19% rise on the same period last year. To combat the surge in attacks, Integrity360 is announcing an exclusive Irish partnership with global bug bounty leader HackerOne. This partnership gives businesses direct local access to a trusted network of more than two million ethical hackers, delivering real-time vulnerability discovery and remediation before threats can be exploited. Cyber attacks are increasing in both sophistication and volume, with large organisations -particularly those with web-facing infrastructure - experiencing relentless attempts to identify and exploit weaknesses. While traditional penetration testing and red teaming remain essential, a well organised bug bounty programme takes cyber security to the next level. Integrity360's collaboration with HackerOne adds an 'always-on' layer of human-led testing, giving enterprises continuous visibility into emerging threats and an attacker's eye view of their systems. Drawing on HackerOne's global community of security researchers, Integrity360 identifies vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss. With access to over two million ethical hackers, security teams can prioritise and remediate critical risks faster - a capability that would be virtually impossible for any single organisation to replicate in-house. Furthermore, you only pay for exposures that are discovered, providing excellent return on investment. The collaboration expands the cyber security testing portfolio of Integrity360, enabling delivery of an end-to-end service that spans scheduled assessments, red teaming, and continuous researcher-led testing. While HackerOne underpins the platform with its unparalleled crowd-powered expertise, Integrity360 ensures seamless integration into clients' security programmes. "Technology alone can't match the creativity and persistence of a determined attacker," said Richard Ford, CTO at Integrity360. "By partnering with HackerOne, we are enabling organisations to tap into a vast, global community of security researchers who continuously probe for weaknesses. This is proactive defence in action, which is designed to uncover and fix issues before they become security incidents." John Addeo, VP of Global Channels at HackerOne, said: "Integrity360 brings deep enterprise security expertise, while our hacker community provides real-world insight that tools alone can't deliver. Together, we help organisations find and fix vulnerabilities faster, reducing their attack surface in an increasingly complex threat environment." The move reflects a wider industry shift from periodic, compliance-driven assessments to continuous, community-powered protection. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the ability to detect and respond to vulnerabilities in real-time will become a critical benchmark for effective cyber defence. See more stories here.

CTO Series: Toni Sallanmaa on Scaling Engineering Teams and Aligning Tech with Business Goals In this BONUS episode, we explore the journey of scaling technology teams and maintaining alignment between engineering and business objectives with Toni Sallanmaa, CTO at Funidata. Toni shares invaluable insights from leading the development of Sisu, a cutting-edge student information system serving over 100,000 Finnish university users, and discusses practical strategies for growing engineering organizations while preserving company culture. The Genesis of Leadership in Technology "I understood what I was really responsible for. I'm interested in the business we are running—the business adds meaning to the work." Toni's approach to technology leadership was fundamentally shaped by a pivotal moment early in his career when he first gained influence over system development and technology choices. After working with large-scale systems for 20 years, this moment of responsibility revelation transformed his perspective from purely technical to business-focused. He emphasizes that infinite curiosity drives success in tech businesses, and understanding the business context gives meaningful purpose to technical work. Bridging the Gap Between Tech and Product "Don't separate Tech from Product. We established a common language between product and technology people." One of Toni's most significant insights centers on eliminating the traditional divide between technology and product teams. As Funidata grew from a small startup to a 70-person organization, the challenges of maintaining alignment became apparent. Their solution involved several key practices: Teaching developers the language of the product domain  Banning confusing technical terms that create communication barriers Workshopping product language to ensure clarity Keeping entity names deliberately vague until true understanding emerges This approach draws heavily from Domain Driven Design principles, creating a unified vocabulary that enables seamless collaboration. Collaborative Planning and Transparency "We use transparency as a collaboration technique. Every team sees what's being proposed as a goal for the next quarter." Funidata implements a unique "marketplace of goals" approach during their quarterly big room planning sessions. Rather than using scaled agile frameworks, they focus on transparency and collaborative goal-setting. Teams present their high-level quarterly plans to each other, creating visibility across the organization. Product owners are embedded within teams, keeping communication distances short and ensuring alignment between technical execution and business objectives. Future-Forward Roadmapping "We talk about the higher level ideas regularly, but let them bubble up from the community. We hold internal hackathons." Toni's approach to roadmapping balances strategic vision with grassroots innovation. They maintain an internal technology roadmap that addresses emerging trends like AI, while allowing ideas to organically emerge from the engineering community. Internal hackathons serve as catalysts for innovation, providing structured opportunities for teams to explore new technologies and approaches that might inform future roadmap decisions. Scaling Challenges and Cultural Preservation "The biggest challenge is not technology, it was the rapid scaling of technology teams. When you scale up, keep the culture in mind." The most significant challenge Toni faced wasn't technical but organizational—rapidly scaling teams while preserving company culture. Growing from 10 to 50 people required evolving processes, from establishing internal forums for architectural discussions to implementing continuous integration flows. The key was identifying pain points proactively and maintaining open discussions with team members throughout the scaling process. Strengthening company culture became essential to successful growth. AI's Impact on Software Development "Productivity is on the rise. We see opportunities like generating test data, but we have strict requirements for cybersecurity, which puts pressure on code quality." Toni views AI's impact on software development with cautious optimism. While productivity gains are evident, particularly in areas like test data generation, the stringent cybersecurity requirements in their domain mean that AI hasn't yet significantly improved code quality where it matters most. The technology shows promise, but implementation must be carefully considered within the context of security and quality requirements. Measuring Engineering Success "We use DORA and SPACE framework. We measure how much of our work is KTLO (Keep The Lights On) and how much is elective development." Funidata employs both DORA and SPACE frameworks to measure engineering organization success. From SPACE, they particularly focus on measuring software team wellbeing, while also tracking the balance between "Keep The Lights On" (KTLO) work and elective development. Using JIRA connected to a data warehouse, they mine extensive data that serves both leadership decision-making and team improvement efforts, ensuring metrics benefit everyone in the organization. Influential Leadership Resources "The organizational books have been more influential to me than purely technical ones." Toni emphasizes that organizational leadership books have shaped his CTO approach more than technical resources. Two key influences stand out: "Team Topologies" for understanding how to structure and scale engineering teams effectively, and "Radical Candor" for building authentic, productive relationships within the organization. You can find a BONUS episode on Team Topologies with the authors Matthew Skeltton and Manuel Pais. About Toni Sallanmaa Toni leads technology and engineering at Funidata, developing Sisu—a cutting-edge student information system serving over 100,000 Finnish university users. Passionate about agile methodologies, system architecture, and software engineering, Toni specializes in technology management, software lifecycle, OOP, and relational databases to deliver innovative, scalable solutions in higher education tech.

Matt Lynch, CTO and co-founder of Sage, joins the show to share how his team is using modern technology to transform elderly care. From rethinking outdated nurse call systems to capturing real-time data that improves both patient safety and caregiver retention, Matt breaks down the technical and human challenges of modernizing this critical industry. This is a story of mission-driven innovation, scale, and the surprising role data plays in quality of life.Key Takeaways• The aging population is outpacing caregiver availability, creating an urgent need for tech-driven solutions.• Most facilities still rely on fragmented or low-quality data, making it difficult to improve care.• Real-time documentation and streamlined workflows give caregivers credit for their work and reduce burnout.• New technology can deliver results at a fraction of the cost of outdated systems.• Adoption succeeds when tech is simple, resident-driven, and seamlessly fits into caregiver routines.Timestamped Highlights00:34 — Why Sage was founded: the gaps in elderly care tech that inspired three co-founders04:36 — The looming scale problem: a 40% surge in the aging population with flat caregiver growth06:56 — How poor data practices erode care quality—and what synchronous documentation changes12:05 — Why old systems cost 10x more and how modern tools flip the economics18:06 — Giving caregivers proof of their work and reducing turnover with better data21:54 — Lessons in building: why focusing on workflow software beat hardware reinventionA line worth remembering“Caregivers finally get credit for the work they're doing—and that completely changes how families and facilities work together.”Pro TipStart simple. In elderly care tech, the real breakthrough wasn't reinventing hardware but streamlining the caregiver workflow to make adoption natural.Stay ConnectedIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend in tech or healthcare.

Banks face some of the highest stakes when it comes to IT reliability. Even small disruptions can ripple into regulatory exposure, reputational harm, and major financial losses. Yet many financial institutions still rely on reactive monitoring systems that chase alerts without addressing the root causes of outages. On today's episode of the ‘AI in Business' podcast, Dale Skeen, CTO and Co-founder of Vitria Technology, explains how AI and agentic systems are reshaping IT operations in financial services. Vitria Technology is a global leader in AI-driven operations platforms, helping enterprises move from data analysis to automated action with its flagship VIA AIOps solution. Built for scale, VIA AIOps delivers total ecosystem observability and intelligent automation, reducing downtime, improving customer experience, and accelerating ROI. Dale's appearance goes into great detail on how knowledge graphs improve explainability and trust, how automation is already reducing time to resolution for common failures, and how AI copilots are helping teams tackle the most complex system outages. Dale also shares a roadmap for financial leaders looking to reduce downtime, cut manual toil, and scale toward self-healing IT systems—one sprint at a time.
