Don't ever think that AI is this black box that magically is going to solve all your problems. You have to go through the hard work, the iterations, the training of the models, testing the algorithm. Don't forget the importance that data is for this journey because without it, there's really no way to be successful and scale for your organization.” - Max Chan, CIO at Avnet“Data tells a story. It's our job to figure out what story that data tells, and then how to make sure that we are telling the right story with it. Like anything in statistics, you can use data in a variety of different ways. It's about the quality of the data that really drives that story. All these tools will help you get there, but at the end of the day, you still need to make sure that the story that you tell is accurate, to the point, and it's understandable within the data as well.” - Darren Person, Global CIO at The NPD Group---------Time Stamps:* (1:53) Meet our guests, Max and Darren* (3:33) The current state of AI for enterprise B2B and B2C companies* (13:12) How to scale AI in your company* (21:40) The approach boards should take toward AI* (28:01) How to leverage AI to drive employee experience * (32:37) Secrets CIOs should know about data* (31:59) Max and Darren ask each other questions--------SponsorThis podcast is brought to you by Asana.

Owyoung has established and led diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in multiple industries, including Charles Schwab, GitHub, and Yahoo!. She has been recognized for her influence and thought leadership by Entrepreneur Magazine as 2021's 100 Women of Impact.Studies prove that companies with more diversity in their ranks are more innovative, expand their markets, and perform better financially. Why, then, has so little progress been made, especially when it comes to corporate leadership? Because most companies have yet to develop and implement effective diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives. And the ones that have too often focus mainly on hiring a diversity of staff or rolling out unconscious bias training without improving results. DEIB expert Cynthia Owyoung has spent more than two decades working in this space. She's seen it all, and she knows what works―and what doesn't. In All Are Welcome, Owyoung delivers the information and insights you need to make DEIB a key element of your company culture. You'll learn how to:•Break old habits that keep DEIB efforts from moving forward•Retain talent from underrepresented groups •Conduct an audit of the state of DEIB at your company today•Engage and excite leaders and managers around DEIB efforts•Weave DEIB into all your talent pool management methods•Uplevel employee resource groups to effectively support business goals •Measure your progress with qualitative and quantitative data•Connect your DEIB efforts to driving better business resultsWith All Are Welcome, you have everything you need to build a workforce and a company designed to compete in the twenty-first century while doing your part to make the world a better place to live―and work. Rebel HR is a podcast for HR professionals and leaders of people who are ready to make some disruption in the world of work.We'll be discussing topics that are disruptive to the world of work and talk about new and different ways to approach solving those problems.Follow Rebel HR Podcast at:www.rebelhumanresources.comhttps://twitter.com/rebelhrguyhttps://www.facebook.com/rebelhrpodcastwww.kyleroed.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-roed/Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

The constantly shifting demands of digital users are forcing IT leaders to anticipate the next curveball -- that's why we talked to Brian Shield, SVP & CTO, Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Management, and David Vidoni, VP of IT at Pegasystems, about simplifying their IT departments in order to remain agile. In this episode, Brian & David reveal their secrets to providing a world-class experience that's constantly changing with consumer preferences, plus how they've accelerated the digital transformation journey, and much more.---------Quotes“The key thing for any organization, or any CIO, is that you have to get rid of a lot of your legacy. If you're so overwhelmed with legacy technologies, systems, and processes, it's very difficult to think strategically. When you do implement technologies, you need to implement ones that, if not future-proofed, at least give you a long runway so that you feel like you're not going to have to revisit these on a very regular basis.” - Brian Shield, SVP & CTO at Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Management“It all comes down to going back to basics. The simple things – do you have applications that create data with a high degree of quality upfront? Do you have people responsible for those systems that will maintain that data? Then behind the scenes, is the plumbing to bring that data from point A to point B simplified and straightforward?... When you get to the point where you need to do reporting or other analysis, a lot of the headaches and problems have already been dealt with.” - David Vidoni, VP of IT at Pegasystems---------Time Stamps:* (1:47) Brian & David share more about their respective roles* (5:15) Projects on the horizon for the Boston Red Sox and Pegasystems* (7:22) Simplifying the digital transformation journey * (12:35) Data literacy at the board level * (20:17) Making bets on new technologies * (23:16) Finding the right outside partnerships* (25:52) Secrets more CIOs should know * (31:59) Brian and David ask each other questions--------SponsorThis podcast is brought to you by Asana.

He is a graduate of Baldwin Wallace University who opened his first ad agency at the age of 24. Over the past two decades, Kelly has excelled as a marketing director, communications executive, innovation specialist, and agency owner.In 2009, he identified, formalized and trademarked a Culture Development Marketing process that had been guiding his success in clarifying brand stories in a way that builds participation and creates a culture-building celebration of the brand's story. The Culture Development Marketing process is powered by the 3-P principle™ as it involves the defining of the three core components of a story: Attitude, Drive, and Direction. The base of the 3-P Principle is simple: when you define these three areas in concert together, they transform in a way that allows you to validate trust and connect on every level. Your Attitude becomes Positive, your Drive becomes Powerful, and your Direction becomes Purposeful.For 10 years the process of Culture Development Marketing has been the starting point in every brand relationship at Brand Story Experts and the foundation for the success of the company.In 2018, Kelly partnered in the development of The All In App. The All In App is an internal communications app that works hand-in-hand in with Culture Development Marketing by creating a cohesive system for keeping teams informed while gamifying internal content creation.https://brandstoryexperts.com/Rebel HR is a podcast for HR professionals and leaders of people who are ready to make some disruption in the world of work.We'll be discussing topics that are disruptive to the world of work and talk about new and different ways to approach solving those problems.Follow Rebel HR Podcast at:www.rebelhumanresources.comhttps://twitter.com/rebelhrguyhttps://www.facebook.com/rebelhrpodcastwww.kyleroed.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-roed/Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Rachel Waldmann, Sr. Manager of Employee Experience at Privy, joined us this week to discuss the shift we are seeing from the term "Human Resources" to this idea of the People Experience and how employees are expecting more from their employers, brought on by the pandemic and the Great Resignation. The two also get into this idea of being happy at work; why employers should care about their employee's happiness level and ways that HR professionals and other leaders in the organization can get their teammates more engaged at work. Lastly, Host Jeff Cross asks Rachel where she sees the future of HR heading.  Music By: Colin Cross Music

Transformation to reach the next level is one of the most delicate processes throughout the attractions industry. In the current state of the industry, we're dealing with a time where people feel different than they've ever felt before. The only answer to help adapt to this new era is transformation to enhance the employee and guest experience. Challenges await behind the door we're approaching, and in this episode, Matt and Josh discuss methods and ways to transform both the guest and employee experience to help combat arising issues and ensure stability in a time where it isn't guaranteed.    Pandemic Recovery (Showing Appreciation)   Throughout the past 2 years, the world has shifted drastically. As a result, the ideologies of people have also shifted within the guest and employee worlds. For example, showing appreciation has become one of the most key elements in both of these worlds due to these changes in ideology. Not only should guests feel appreciated for visiting your location, but employees who help create these experiences should also be recognized for the work they do.    Guests could be doing anything else other than visiting an attraction, so it's important that their presence is recognized. The same thing goes for employees, as they could be working at a different location or working from home. Showing appreciation and recognition has become practically essential after the reset the world recently went through, and people will no longer visit or work for a place that doesn't show them the gratitude they deserve for going out of their way.   How to go about Transformation   Going about transformation is not an easy task. Guidance and critical thinking is essential to develop a meaningful transformation that will give positive results. Following a tailored criteria to help develop transformation will be a ‘North Star.' Although the end goal may be vague, using a structured method to transform one emotion to another can lead to a transformed audience, who may not even know they've been transformed. In addition, using resources is a key element to transform experiences. Companies often have multiple departments, and creating joint efforts can really help attack pressure point elements of transformation.       Measuring transformation can be a difficult task. Guests and employees are very different, yet incredibly intertwined. Overall, seeing how behavior changes in a person is the greatest indicator of transformation for all types of people. If a guest begins to become a consistent visitor, that may show that the changes you made transformed that guest. If an employee begins to refer more of their friends, that may also be a big indicator that your methods of transformation have been successful. By recognizing these changes in behavior, transformation can be altered to achieve the behavior you want.    Removing barriers   One of the biggest obstacles in transforming somebody's behavior is limited vision they have to the bigger picture. Getting someone to say “I've never thought of it that way” is one of the key gateways into transformation. Whether it be for the guest questioning why a restrictive policy exists to an employee wondering why the call-out system exists, helping people see the bigger picture can help change their behavior and lead to a positive transformation. Everyone only sees what is in front of them, and helping them see what goes around policies or experiences can help transform that person.    The same way works when moving up the corporate ladder. As you slowly move up, you begin to see the land below you and how it intertwines with each other. Moving from an hourly position to an operations team leader transforms a person sheerly by how much more they're seeing. By spreading that knowledge, the dots can connect and more people can understand that they're no longer a cog in a machine but rather a unique individual contributing to the operation, far beyond the job description. Overall, by giving more pieces of the puzzle and connecting it for someone, they can be transformed and have their behavior changed.  There are many more ways that transformation can occur, and we are eager to further explore this conversation and hear your opinions on the topic.    Feel free to share your thoughts on Twitter and LinkedIn, and tag @AttractionPros. Tell us what you're going through and tell us how you're transforming your experience, or even tell us how you're struggling.   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our amazing team: Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas Branding and design by Fabiana Fonseca Summary by Mason Nichols   To connect with AttractionPros: attractionpros@gmail.com
