Erste Experimente sind gemacht, doch wo bleiben die wirklich produktiven KI-Projekte? Deutsche Firmen, speziell Mittelständler, stehen hier meist noch am Anfang, sagt KI-Expertin Kenza Ait Si Abbou, Unternehmerin, Autorin und vormals CTO bei Logistikdienstleister Fiege. Gründe kann sie eine ganze Reihe aufzählen: Legacy-Systeme, fehlende Data Governance, aber auch Mangel an vorbildhaften Leuchtturmprojekten. Die KI-Transformation wird da zum Marathon – bergauf. CIOs bleibt das Motto „Augen zu und durch“, konkret: keine Scheu haben, Schmerzpunkte zu benennen, mit langem Atem eine Strategie aufsetzen und nebenbei erste Projekte an den Start bringen, die auch Zweifler überzeugen.

Episode Overview Retailers recognize the need to transform, but most are missing the crucial first step. In this episode of Talk Retail to Me, Parker Avery's Dan Wittner joins Snowflake's Freddy Guard for a candid discussion about one of the most underestimated barriers to retail innovation: disconnected, messy, and misgoverned retail data. Whether it's launching AI initiatives, reshaping supply chains, or reimagining omnichannel experiences, true retail transformation begins with a solid data foundation. But legacy systems, siloed functions, and a lack of clear governance continue to block progress, even for Fortune 500 retailers. Dan and Freddy break down why transformation fails without clean, connected data and outline how progressive retailers are finally getting it right. From AI-enabled data cleanup to demand planning and inventory visibility, they share actionable steps for retailers ready to transform and realize meaningful, sustainable business results. Featuring Dan Wittner – Chief Revenue Officer, The Parker Avery Group Freddy Guard – Industry Principal, Retail & Consumer Goods, Snowflake Key Takeaways Transformation begins with data. No technology can deliver ROI without a clean, unified data foundation. Retail is at an inflection point. Channel complexity, evolving shopper behavior, and economic volatility demand better data visibility and governance. Data strategy must be a business strategy. Aligning IT and business objectives is crucial for driving meaningful change. Start small to scale fast. Break inertia by focusing on a high-impact use case, then use that momentum to drive enterprise-wide transformation. AI is no longer the barrier. With modern tools, data cleanup and governance are now finally scalable, enabling faster decision-making and smarter planning. Organizational change management is critical to successful transformation. Technology alone doesn't transform a business; people and culture do. Success requires vision and leadership. Winning retailers are pairing strategic roadmaps with empowered business champions to drive sustainable change. Episode Highlights Why retailers must rethink data as a transformation enabler, not just a technical asset The disconnect between AI hype and data reality How legacy thinking is holding back progress What meaningful change looks like, from inventory chaos to demand-driven agility Real-world case study: how a global grocer unlocked enterprise-wide transformation by modernizing data Why transformation efforts fail without business alignment and culture change How to build the right capabilities roadmap: assessment, strategy, and execution Related Content & Resources Video Replay on YouTube: https://youtu.be/j7GJLoeOEmM Parker Avery Retail Consulting Services https://parkeravery.com/retail-consulting/ Learn more about Snowflake http://www.snowflake.com/ Blog Post | Optimizing Data Readiness for AI in Retail https://parkeravery.com/optimizing-data-readiness-for-ai-in-retail/ Talk Retail to Me Podcast | Winning with Data and Hyper-Localized Assortments https://parkeravery.com/winning-with-data-and-hyper-localized-assortments/ Insights | The Expert Guide to Data Governance in Retail https://parkeravery.com/data-governance-in-retail/ Case Study | New Strategy for Master Data Supports Core Merchandising Transformation https://parkeravery.com/industry-experience/new-strategy-for-master-data-supports-core-merchandising-transformation/
Le 6 mai 2025, l'Interconnectome cœur-cerveau (ICC) a tenu à l'Université d'Ottawa (Canada) un atelier portant sur les principes IDEAS et la gouvernance des données dans la recherche sur la connexion cœur-cerveau. Les conférencières, conférenciers et scientifiques invités ont accepté de participer au balado BEaTS pour discuter de leur perspective et de leur expérience en répondant à trois questions sur les principes IDEAS (inclusion, diversité, équité, accessibilité et justice sociale) dans la recherche cœur-cerveau. On May 6th, 2025, the Brain-Heart Interconnectome (BHI) held a workshop, “Brain-Heart Health for All: IDEAS in Data Governance” at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Invited speakers and scientists agreed to participate in the BEATs podcast to share their perspectives and experiences based on three key questions related to IDEAS (inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and social justice) in brain (B)-heart (H) research. _______________________________________________________________________________________________Dans cet épisode, Dre Carla Rice nous parle de l'importance des activités de recherche qui intègrent véritablement les principes IDEAS, des différences qui émergent lorsque le monde change et de la nécessité de composer avec cette réalité complexe, autant en recherche que dans la société. Selon elle, le progrès technologique, qui vise souvent à améliorer l'accessibilité, peut paradoxalement entraîner de nouvelles formes d'exclusion – une réalité qui montre que l'inclusion n'est pas un objectif figé, mais plutôt un processus continu d'apprentissage et d'adaptation. Nous discutons aussi de la façon dont la peur de l'inconnu et de la différence façonne nos sociétés, et de la manière dont les principes IDEAS appliqués à la recherche peuvent servir d'antidote et favoriser l'inclusion. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Carla Rice about the importance of research that truly reflects the values of IDEAS and discuss how differences are always emerging as the world changes, and why embracing that complexity is essential in both research and society. She shares her perspective on how technological advancements, while often intended to enhance accessibility, can also unintentionally create new forms of disability, reminding us that inclusion is not a static goal, but a continuous process of learning and adaptation. We also reflect on how fear of difference and the unfamiliar can shape our social systems, and how research rooted in IDEAS can help challenge these responses and build a more inclusive environment.Learn more: https://family.uoguelph.ca/people/carla-rice

En s'appuyant sur son riche parcours à l'international, elle soutient que les équipes formées de personnes de divers horizons et aux points de vue différents permettent une meilleure créativité, une plus grande collaboration et des résultats de recherche porteurs. Elle souligne l'importance de réunir non seulement des étudiantes et étudiants de disciplines et de cultures variées, mais aussi des patientes et patients partenaires, dont le vécu apporte une perspective essentielle au processus de recherche. Elle discute également des approches multinationales et multidisciplinaires, lesquelles ont contribué à son succès professionnel, particulièrement dans la science translationnelle. In this episode, we speak with Dr. May Griffith about what IDEAS looks like in day-to-day lab practice. Drawing from her extensive international experience, Dr. Griffith reflects on how cultivating diverse teams with individuals from different backgrounds and perspectives contributes to more creative, collaborative, and impactful research.

Elle explique en quoi le manque d'inclusivité dans les études a entraîné des lacunes – toujours présentes aujourd'hui – dans nos connaissances sur la santé des femmes, les symptômes et les maladies les touchant étant souvent mal compris ou carrément ignorés. Elle estime que, même si la situation s'est améliorée, nous devons collectivement en faire bien plus encore. Nous discutons aussi de la nécessité de l'inclusion non seulement à des fins de validité scientifique, mais d'équité en santé également. In this episode, Dr. Nafissa Ismail discusses how the principles of IDEAS apply from a research perspective, particularly in the context of basic and clinical science. She examines how the lack of inclusivity in study designs has led to a persistent knowledge gap in women's health, with many symptoms and conditions either misrepresented or overlooked altogether. While progress has been made, Dr. Ismail emphasizes that much more collective effort is needed. Through this conversation, we explore how inclusion is essential not only for scientific accuracy, but also for health equity.Learn more: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nafissa-ismail-890aa899/?originalSubdomain=ca

AI is rapidly emerging as a significant revenue driver for managed service providers (MSPs), with a notable increase in expectations for AI-related revenue. According to recent data, 53% of MSPs anticipate substantial AI revenue this year, a significant rise from 32% the previous year. This shift is attributed to a growing understanding of AI's potential, particularly following the rise of generative AI technologies like ChatGPT. While some companies are genuinely building capabilities, others may still be caught up in the hype. The conversation also touches on the importance of integrating AI into existing services, such as cybersecurity and data management, as MSPs look to monetize these technologies.On the flip side, adversaries are also leveraging AI to enhance their tactics, particularly in social engineering and phishing campaigns. MacKenzie Brown from Blackpoint Cyber highlights that threat actors are using AI to improve their operational effectiveness, making their attacks more sophisticated. This raises concerns about the security posture of organizations that may not have robust data governance and identity management practices in place. As MSPs begin to adopt AI technologies, they must also ensure that their clients have the necessary security measures to protect against these evolving threats.The discussion further explores the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity, particularly regarding basic security practices that remain unaddressed. Misconfigurations in cloud environments continue to be a significant vulnerability, and many organizations still struggle with fundamental cybersecurity measures. Carolyn April emphasizes that while cybersecurity remains a critical revenue driver for MSPs, many are still operating at a basic level rather than advancing to more sophisticated security solutions. This gap presents both a challenge and an opportunity for MSPs to enhance their service offerings.Finally, the conversation touches on the implications of recent developments in cybersecurity policy and enforcement. The discussion highlights the importance of having consequences for breaches of cybersecurity laws, as a lack of enforcement can undermine the efforts of solution providers. Both MacKenzie and Carolyn agree that the current state of cybersecurity policy is crucial for the health of the industry, as it impacts how MSPs can effectively sell their services. The episode concludes with insights on the need for better education and talent development in the cybersecurity field to address these ongoing challenges.
