How do law firms choose the right technology? Its a conundrum many law firms face and with so much technology available to them, how can they be sure they're selecting the right option for them? Chris Williams of Novus Strategy & Consulting joins the Today's Conveyancer podcast to share his thoughts and insight on the topic; borne out of his experience working across the property transaction, and notably with lenders in recent years. In simple terms, he says firms should focus on solutions which align with their strategy, client needs, and operational goals. And when outlining what strategy firm's might adopt, Chris adds strategy is "where you play and how you win."But in the current technology climate, where there seems to be rapid change, and moving goalposts if you take the example of settlement where the future remains uncertain; how do firms know if they're "winning"? And how can they prepare for something that may or may not happen? There is lots of time to prepare, says Chris. The market does not move quickly and we can see what is coming down the track. The key is to work with vendors and partners who can provide interoperability and scalability for long term successAlongside settlement, which is one discussion point to consider, Chris adds there is an evolution of the mortgage process coming; which in turn is going to drive some of the work around data standardisation and horizontal data integration; the idea that in each of the existing verticals (lending, brokering, estate agency and conveyancing) there is significant progress on digitisation and the next step is to bring that all together and create greater connectivity throughout the course of the transaction. Drawing on the experience of the retail sector, which went through its own digital (r)evolution, in Chris's view the individual sections of the market are reaching digital maturity to enable the connectivity currently missing to develop and sees the home moving process could look very different in just a few years' time. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

For the first time, technical education institutions that have embraced smart manufacturing are ahead of their local employers. This is great news for the workforce, as graduates from these programs can help lead their companies into the future.Industry certifications should be built into every technical education program: When certifications are built and backed by employers, students earning them have verified proof of skills.

¿Cómo afectan los avances tecnológicos la industria del marketing y la publicidad? ¿La tecnología ha restado a la hora de ser creativos o se ha convertido en una herramienta para lograr mejores resultados? En este episodio, Eréndira Reyes y Fernando Guarneros, editora y reportero de la mesa de tecnología en Expansión, conversan sobre este tema con Abraham Quintana Garay, Head of Digital Integration de Archer Troy, y Carlos Fernández Oxte, Chief Creative Director de Archer Troy. Los invitados comparten cómo han afrontado el crecimiento de la publicidad en el mundo digital, la caída de los medios tradicionales y el uso cada vez más común de herramientas tecnológicas para promocionar marcas y movimientos, además del secreto para que la tecnología y la creatividad puedan alimentarse una a la otra, en lugar de entorpecer su desarrollo. Abraham y Carlos explican por qué algunas ideas solo pueden vivir en el entorno digital, cómo sacar el máximo provecho de las plataformas sociales y la data, así como la forma en que las agencias deben sumarse a las tendencias. Además, platican de algunas campañas de Archer Troy en las que usaron estas herramientas para potencializar una idea y lograr un gran impacto. En la sección Geek of the Week, Eréndira habla sobre el impacto que ha tenido la política de austeridad del gobierno de Andrés Manuel López Obrador en la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación en nuestro país.

From 2006-2009, she worked as a corporate social responsibility consultant. While in this role, Anne developed and implemented Samsung Electronics' award-winning corporate social responsibility strategy for Scandinavia. Anne eventually moved to Japan, researching open social innovation, where she received the prestigious Rotary Peace Fellowship. Today we talk about Anne's journey into the tech industry and how her experiences helped shape her career. We also cover how in 2012, she moved to Berlin to set up the Berlin Peace Innovation Lab in association with Stanford University. The lab focuses on how technology is facilitating emerging and measurable social change toward global peace. In 2015, in response to the refugee crises, Anne co-founded ReDI School of Digital Integration, a vocational training program teaching programming and tech skills to refugees and marginalized people. ReDI is currently teaching 1500+ adults and kids per year - with 65% of these being women and girls. Thank you for listening; we hope Anne's story helps inspire others to grow their tech career.

In this episode: [0:50] Introduction to Adam Dince[2:20] How Adam defines Digital Transformation and how it’s impacted companies he’s worked with[3:20] Adam gives us a peek into his own career journey, and how the aspects of digital have evolved along with his various roles.[7:15] Adam talks about his current role as Director of Digital Experiences at Collegis, and the functionalities of his team[8:01] Adam defines what “owned media” means, and the acronym P.O.E.M (paid, owned and earned media) and how it functions.[9:45] Deeper dive on Marketing Channels: How does Adam define the various digital channels?[10:50] Which is Adam’s favorite digital channel and why?[13:15] Adam gets into omnichannel (also known as integrated) digital marketing, how it works and why it’s so important.[15:15] Adam explains the significance of Google’s groundbreaking “Zero Moment of Truth” study on online marketing, centered on the question: How do shoppers make purchase decisions?[16:40] Does omnichannel marketing strategy differ between B2B vs. B2C companies? Marketers must seek to understand where “your customers are hanging out online.”[20:15] Adam gives best practices for B2C or B2B companies trying to deploy omnichannel marketing strategies. He recommends sketching out your customer’s journey.[21:00] Direct-to-consumer companies have a love/hate relationship with Amazon…So what are Adam’s thoughts on using Amazon to promote and sell products?[24:35] Deeper dive on data...When we’re doing omnichannel marketing, how do we measure the effectiveness of our data—and credit the RIGHT data—at each customer touchpoint?[28:00] What tips does Adam have for business leaders getting started in organic social media? Adam’s 80/20 rule: 80% of your time listening, 20% posting.[30:40] Rapid Fire: Quick Questions and Fast Answers with Adam[33:45] How does Adam stay current in digital?[35:50] “Key” Takeaways with Kathy and GinoLinks & Resources:Read Google’s ZMOT (Zero Moment of Truth) Handbook & StudyFollow Adam's favorite digital marketing experts on Twitter: Danny Sullivan @dannysullivan, Jason Falls @jasonfallsConnect with Adam on LinkedInBuy Adam’s Book, "Hopeful to Hired."Kathy & Gino's "Key" Takeaways:When getting into digital jump in and trust your gut but expect to learn on the fly. Adam did this in the early days of digital. Understand that you’ll probably make mistakes because digital moves so fast. Don’t get discouraged, keep persevering.  Kathy & Gino reflect on how much digital has evolved in the past 20 years: Websites used to be more like online business cards, now they are one-stop ecommerce stores where you can search for, compare, and buy products. The customer’s sales journey has completely changed, and our strategies must change along with them.  Adam’s favorite digital channel is Search. In most digital channels you’re trying to be as relevant as possible but making sure that you’re not getting in the way of the customer, including paid and targeted advertising. Search is really the only channel where we can get your message in front of customers at the moment they’ve asked for it. Building strong SEO presence can help marketers and businesses reach and understand their customers better. The importance of studying search data almost like an anthropologist is a best practice for Adam. Your content must be timely, relevant, and meaningful. Right message, right time for the right person. The right time is when a customer is asking for a message. Ads can get really targeted with today’s digital technology, and that’s a good way to have a better chance of reaching audience—but search is like a sledgehammer hitting right on that target.  Adam’s P.O.E.M. acronym stands for “paid, owned and earned media.” Paid media is the paid online advertising, owned media is any digital property or channel a company owns/runs, and earned media used to be on PR side (printed newspaper), but social has turned this on its head, and earned media is now like online "word of mouth", including organic search.  We must have an appreciation for the entire customer funnel, far before it turns into a sale or conversion. Each touchpoint is important and can contribute to the end goal. “Assisted Conversion” is the idea that your digital “foot traffic” came from another source or an accumulation of sources – which all relates back to having a unified omnichannel marketing strategy. The last click that led to a sale shouldn’t always get all of the attention!  The 80/20 Rule: Spend 80% of your time listening and 20% posting. You have to know where your customers hang out, how they behave and what they care about before you can craft effective content that reaches them. Adam believes listening to and studying Search data—using free tools like Google Analytics—is the biggest catalyst for conversion growth.

I would bug our developers and do things like Code Academy. But I hit these blockers and I didn’t really know who to ask. It was hard to figure out on my own.

Als Anne Kjær Bathel im Herbst 2015 mit Menschen in ­Flüchtlingsunterkünften sprach, hatten viele von ihnen vor allem einen Wunsch: Zu arbeiten. Gleichzeitig ist sie bestens in die IT-Szene vernetzt - und kennt die Not vieler Unternehmen, IT-Fachleute zu finden. Da dachte sie: Daraus lässt sich etwas machen und gründete 2015 die ReDI School of Digital Integration in Berlin und ­München, wo Flüchtlinge zu IT-Fachleuten weitergebildet werden. Dafür hat sie mittlerweile Unterstützung vieler prominenter Unternehmen und Stiftungen, darunter der Softwarekonzern Microsoft und der Netzwerkgigant Cisco. Welche Karrieren dadurch entstehen und wie sie in ein paar Jahren 10.000 Menschen pro Jahr ausbilden will, erklärt Bathel im Podcast Handelsblatt Disrupt. Im Anschluss daran ein Gespräch mit Handelsblatt-Korrespondentin Dana Heide in Peking über das Corona-App-Chaos in China. Und am Ende erklärt der Chef der Initiative Maschinenraum, Tobias Rappers, wie er Mittelständler und Familienunternehmen zusammenbringt, um ihnen durch die digitale Transformation zu helfen. — Geben Sie uns Feedback!

Zaid Zaim ist 19 und mit seiner Familie vor dem Krieg aus Syrien nach Deutschland geflohen. Mithilfe von Mentoren und der ReDi School for Digital Integration hat er hier gelernt, mit Mixed Reality und der MR-Brille von Microsoft zu arbeiten. Dieses Wissen hat er eingesetzt, um ein Stück historisches, aber zerstörtes Syrien zurückzuholen und auch in Deutschland zu zeigen. Mit seinem Projekt nimmt er auch am "New Realities"-Wettbewerb von 1E9 und dem XR HUB Bavaria teil.

https://www.engati.com/ Engati is the world's leading no-code, multi-lingual chatbot platform. Blog link: https://blog.engati.com/ | Subscribe now. Adam Toporek, an internationally-recognized customer service expert, keynote speaker, and frontline trainer, talks to Engati on ‘Winning with Experience'. He talks about how technology and Artificial Intelligence can be leveraged to create personalized customer experiences at scale. Adam speaks about the fact that customers are irrational creatures and that businesses need to take this into consideration while creating customer journeys. Customers don't buy with logic. They buy with emotion and then try to use logic to justify their purchases. He also tells us that we should be focusing on Digital Integration rather than Digital Transformation. Transformation implies that we're going to go completely digital. Integration is more realistic in the sense that we will have humans working in collaboration with digital systems. The human element is integrated within the digital experience.

Anne Kjaer Riechert ist Social Entrepreneur, sie ist CEO/Founder (bei) der ReDi School of Digital Integration in Berlin. Sie hat früh gespürt, dass sie sich gesellschaftlich engagieren möchte. Die Grundlagen dafür hat sie von ihrer Familie mitbekommen und in ihrem Studium an der “KaosPilot” Schule in Aarhus weiter ausgebaut. Ach ja: Einen Master in “Peace Studies” hat sie in Tokyo auch noch gemacht … und nebenbei geholfen, das Chaos nach dem großen Erdbeben 2011 zu beseitigen. Nach einem Abstecher ins Silicon Valley, wo sie ihre Masterarbeit mit IDEO geschrieben hat, stand eine Entscheidung an. Gut für uns alle, dass es Berlin wurde! “Berlin hat den Spirit vom Silicon Valley, aber man kann es sich noch immer leisten.” Ok, und wenn man dann mit einem Team von 40 Menschen aus 19 Ländern und 350 Freiwilligen pro Jahr 650 Flüchtlinge digital aus- und weiterbildet? Dann darf man auch mal Glück haben. Danke facebook und danke Marc Zuckerberg, dass ihr Anna´s fantastisches Projekt unterstützt. Der Lohn? In der letzten Woche hat sie den Deutschen Gründerpreis in der Kategorie “Beste Social Entrepreneurin” gewonnen. Mann, das hat sie verdient!

With the unprecedented rate of change happening in the energy sector today you could say “The only constant is disruption.”Where there is constant disruption, there must also be constant innovation.Where once innovation might have been the remit of a particular team or department within utility companies, now it must come from across the organization. In this podcast Greenbird's Enno Dreier shares how utility IT organizations can be structured so that innovation can be maximized.You will learn:What a pace-layered application strategy is and how it is used in the energy sectorWhat slows down innovation and what can be done about itRecommendations to optimise time and resource to accelerate innovationPredictions for the energy sector from an architectural point of viewThe related blog post can read here: https://www.greenbird.com/news/digital-integration-platformAcknowledgements:Song: www.Bensound.com

In der ReDI School – das steht kurz für „Ready for Digital Integration“ – werden junge Menschen, die neu in Deutschland ankommen – zum Beispiel als Geflüchtete – im digitalen Bereich ausgebildet. Die erste Schule wurde 2015 in Berlin gegründet, seit 2017 gibt es eine zweite Schule in München. Ende 2018 hatte die ReDI School 500 Studentinnen und Studenten, 17 Menschen aus 11 Ländern sind im Unternehmen angestellt, in München laufen 9 Kurse, in Berlin 12, dazu 7 Kurse, die sich speziell an Frauen richten. Wir sprechen mit der Gründerin Anne Kjær Riechert über ihre Idee, dazu mit der Münchner Schulleiterin Sophie Jonke über das Angebot der ReDI School, und wir fragen zwei ehemalige Studierende über ihren Werdegang aus.

Following the arrival of large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe from 2015 onwards, many non-traditional actors—from tech start-ups to social enterprises—have pioneered innovative solutions to foster the social and economic inclusion of newcomers. In the context of this experimentation, business has played a fundamental role, with companies on both sides of the Atlantic leveraging their potential as employers, donors, and partners in innovative alliances. This two-day conference reflected on how innovative initiatives for refugee inclusion can grow beyond pockets of good practice and inspire large-scale, long-term change. The event brought together a diverse group of public officials, business leaders, service designers, social entrepreneurs, civil society organisations, and refugee initiatives from Europe, the United States, and Canada. This recording includes: Welcoming remarks from: Adam Shub, Chargé d’Affaires, U.S. Mission to the EU Daniel J. Costello, Ambassador of Canada to the EU Elizabeth Collett, Director, Migration Policy Institute Europe Cristian Pirvulescu, President of the Permanent Study Group on Immigration and Integration, European Economic and Social Committee Opening speech by Yara Al Adib, Design Consultant and Entrepreneur, From Syria with Love, Belgium Panel session: “How the field has matured: A progress report, one year on” Chair: Tamim Nashed, Policy Officer on Refugee Inclusion, European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) Eric Young, The Social Projects Studio/Distinguished Visiting Professor of Social Innovation at Ryerson University, Canada Luisa Seiler, Co-founder and Director, SINGA Deutschland, Germany Mireia Nadal Chiva, Head of Community Development, ReDI School for Digital Integration, Germany

[Full disclosure: I have written about polio eradication for Rotarian Magazine.] Riechert, a past Rotary Peace Fellow, moved to Berlin in 2012 to set up the Berlin Peace Innovation Lab in collaboration with Stanford University. When she observed what ultimately became 1.1 million asylum seekers, mostly from Syria, she saw an opportunity. ”Currently, there are 43,000 open jobs in IT in Germany,” she says. John Hewko, general secretary of Rotary International, who spent much of his career in Europe, commenting on the refugee situation there, says, “If we don’t act now to build the conditions for sustainable peace, then the likelihood of events that undermine it, such as profound social instability, a lack of integration of migrant populations into their new host countries, and failures of national governance will only increase.” So, she created a coding school called ReDI School of Digital Integration to train refugees to fill some of those jobs. Partnering with German companies, including Daimler AG, she is providing training in coding languages “like Ruby on Rails, CSS, HTML, Python” along with “skills like entrepreneurship and business intelligence,” she says. --------------------- Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2aN2Fvd.
