Welcome to a special author's episode of The Data Chief, where we delve into the minds of three influential authors who are shaping the conversation around data and AI. First, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, shares his philosophy of prioritizing strategy over technology to make faster, smarter decisions. Next, Wendy Batchelder, author of The Data Governance Handbook, discusses how to transform governance from a rigid bureaucracy into a business accelerator by focusing on business outcomes. Finally, Malcolm Hawker, author of The Data Hero Playbook, challenges data leaders to adopt a heroic mindset by becoming customer-driven and aligning their incentives with business success. Join us to learn how to lead effectively in the AI era by building a strategy-driven, governed, and customer-centric data function.The Data Chief Podcast: Author Episode Key MomentsGeoff Woods: The AI-Driven LeaderFrom "IT Problem" to Strategic Partner (06:20): Woods advocates for viewing AI as a "strategic thought partner" rather than an assistant or replacement, and emphasizes that AI strategy must align with business strategy.The CRIT Framework for Smarter Prompts (12:25): He introduces the CRIT framework for prompt engineering: Context, Role, Interview, Task. This method helps leaders get non-obvious, high-impact strategies from AI by having the AI ask the right questions.Beyond the Bottom Line: AI's Human Impact (22:17): Woods discusses the ROI of AI, including a case where AI identified savings equivalent to 2% of a company's revenue. Wendy Batchelder: The Data Governance HandbookData Governance as an Accelerator (32:33): Wendy Batchelder addresses the myth that data governance is a "dirty word" or a code for "no," arguing that its true purpose is to be an accelerator.Speaking the Language of Business (35:17): Batchelder emphasizes that data governance should be embedded from the start of a project, not as an afterthought. She provides an example of "bad" vs. "good" communication, urging data professionals to speak the language of the business.Measuring Value with Business Outcomes (40:00): She outlines how to measure the value of data governance by connecting it to business outcomes like increased revenue or improved customer service. Malcolm Hawker: The Data Hero PlaybookFrom Limiting Mindset to Growth Mindset (56:00): Hawker discusses why he wrote the book, calling the current moment a "do or die" opportunity for CDOs. He challenges the "limiting mindset" that leads to defeatism.Customer-Driven, Not Data-Driven (1:08:00): He urges data leaders to be "customer-driven, not data-driven," emphasizing the need for data teams to become more business literate.The Power of Product Management (1:14:00): Hawker advocates for bringing product management disciplines into data teams. This approach focuses on putting the customer at the center and ensures that data products are economically viable and tied to ROI.Key Quotes:"It is not technology first, strategy second. It is strategy first, technology second.” - Geoff Woods"The companies that are treating data as something that helps drive business outcomes are thinking about data at the beginning and set up at the end." - Wendy Batchelder“If you deliver value to your customers, if you are the lever of change and transformation in your organization, if you show value from data, you will get a seat at the table." - Malcolm HawkerMentionsThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, SmarterHow AI is transforming strategy developmentData Governance Handbook: A practical approach to building trust in data5 key reasons why data analytics is important to businessThe Data Hero Playbook: Developing Your Data Leadership SuperpowersCDOs and CDAOs: Rethink your role or fade awayGuest Bios:About Geoff Woods Geoff Woods is the #1 bestselling author of The AI-Driven Leader, host of the AI-Driven Leader podcast, and Founder of AI Leadership and The AI-Driven Leadership Collective™, a highly vetted network of executives collaborating to harness AI to build better businesses and better lives.

Miał zostać prawnikiem, ale rzucił studia po pierwszym roku, by wbrew wszystkim – w tym sceptycznej na tamten czas rodzinie – realizować pomysł, w który mało kto wierzył. Dziś jego aplikację, jedną z najbardziej popularnych na rynku foodtech, pobrało ponad 2 miliony Polaków, a on sam trafił do zestawienia Forbes "30 przed 30" i na listę przedsiębiorców nominowanych przez EY do tytułu “Entrepreneur Of The Year”. Mateusz Kowalczyk, współzałożyciel i CEO Foodsi, w szczerej rozmowie opowiada nam o momentach, gdy firma była o krok od upadku, a obiady gotowała mu babcia wspólnika, bo brakowało im środków do życia. To historia o budowaniu biznesu z misją, walce z przeciwnościami i cenie, jaką płaci się za realizację własnych marzeń.Czego jeszcze dowiesz się z naszej rozmowy?✅ Jakie były najtrudniejsze decyzje, które musiał podjąć Mateusz i co dawało mu siłę, gdy wszyscy wokół zdążyli już zwątpić? ✅ Dlaczego każdy, uważny przedsiębiorca powinien regularnie dbać o swoje zdrowie psychiczne?✅ Jakie są najważniejsze wyzwania w budowaniu marketplace'u?✅ W jaki sposób przyjaźń ze wspólnikiem wpłynęła na rozwój Foodsi i jak udaje im się łączyć biznes z relacją osobistą?✅ Dlaczego nagrody i wyróżnienia to nie tylko prestiż, ale też dodatkowa presja dla foundera i jego zespołu?Musisz uwierzyć nam na słowo, zanim klikniesz poniższy link, iż rzadko spotykamy tak zdolnych, uważnych i zdeterminowanych równocześnie przedsiębiorców z misją. Jeśli Ty również chcesz dołączyć do idei “ratowania przed zmarnowaniem” i poznać losy Mateusza, koniecznie odsłuchaj lub obejrzyj tę premierę ▶️

This conversation between HFS and EY explores the digital acceleration of commercial banking, the impact of AI, and how EY supports banks in modernizing legacy systems, navigating geopolitical uncertainty, and building scalable, future-ready platforms. Key discussion points included:The discussion highlighted why commercial banking has historically lagged behind retail in digital transformation—and how that's rapidly changing due to evolving customer expectations and the demand for streamlined, data-driven treasury experiences.EY assists commercial banks in their modernization efforts by integrating digital strategy, UX redesign, and core system upgrades with deep risk and regulatory expertise.The conversation also examined how geopolitical volatility is increasing the need for strategic banking support, with commercial banks uniquely positioned to guide clients through uncertain times.AI emerged as a central theme—viewed as transformational but still in its early stages—with EY advising clients to focus on connected, high-impact use cases rather than isolated pilot initiatives.The session concluded with a forward-looking perspective on embedded finance, digital assets, and the evolving role of commercial banks as key enablers of client growth and agility. Commercial banks must accelerate their digital and AI transformation efforts—starting with pragmatic, high-value use cases—while leveraging their unique position to support clients through economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Rather than waiting for perfect data or systems, banks should prioritize building scalable platforms that integrate automation, AI, and user-centric design. Partnering with firms like EY can help bridge the gap between strategy, technology, and compliance to stay competitive and future ready.

Step right up and get your tickets for Chaos Trivia! Team LMSU is joining forces with the fabulous folks from Currently Speaking for a blockbuster crossover event, with special guests, the NEMchat Singers! Chaos Trivia is set for the first night of the All Energy Conference on Wednesday 29 October in Melbourne. There will be trivia! Role playing? Musical interludes! Food! Drinks! And Tennant in some wizard cosplay, which should frankly be reason enough! All proceeds go to the First Nations Clean Energy Network and we reckon tix will sell like hotcakes, so - run, don't walk and snag tix for you or a whole trivia team.—Targets! Targets! Targets! Have we reached peak 2035 target fever? You betcha, and it's a smorgasbord with climate and business groups serving up their preferred target. Which one is just right? From the bottom-up analysis from EY with practical can-do actions to achieve 65-75% to Deloitte's top-down analysis for Business for 75 suggesting a 75% target would grow the economy more than a 65% target, there was one bit of modelling the subject of much chatter, and that didn't recommend a particular target at all! McKinsey's modelling for the BCA took a look at modelled costs for achieving 50, 60 and 70% targets but omitted any analysis of benefits, didn't consider global impacts and seemed to make some drastic assumptions about the impact on gas exports (but hard to know as no assumptions were published). The verdict? BCA seems to be trying to thread the needle in navigating different members' views and… it could have been worse!Our main courseThis week your intrepid hosts pack the passports and FIFO into that GST-sapping, resource-rich, beachy utopia that is WA as we soak up Marian Wilkinson's Quarterly Essay, ‘Woodside vs The Planet: how a company captured a country'. This cracker of an essay unpacks the complex relationship between Woodside, successive WA and Federal governments, and local communities. A particularly nuanced and sensitive account of impacts to the Murujuga people's struggle for influence in the preservation of their cultural heritage is contrasted with accounts of shareholder action and activists calling out the cognitive dissonance from Woodside in claiming support for climate action while expanding plans for fossil gas extraction and export well beyond 2050. This was not the policy solutions paper Tennant wanted it to be, but we debated the merits of supply-side activism to shut down fossil fuel exports and whether the WA community would even be on board with that. This essay paints a vivid picture of Woodside's omnipresence in WA and for a bunch of blow-in east coasters, we learned a lot!One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is: the International Maritime Organisation's upcoming vote on a global carbon pricing scheme for shipping— even with the US reportedly opposed, the vote is expected to pass. Yay for rare moments of multilateral innovation! Frankie's One More Thing is: the Investor Front Door is officially open! Or at least ajar for a couple of pilot projects. This could grease the wheels for Future Made in Australia projects OR could add more layers of helpful bureaucracy. Implementation matters!Luke's One More Thing is: for the fans of good periodicals out there, a solid vote for the latest edition of Foreign Affairs, which features essays on US-China tech competition, critical minerals, AI, and Australia's role in the Pacific.And that's it for now, Summerupperers.

Help us improve the show by filling out our audience survey: bit.ly/4j01Gq0  In this episode of Get Hired, LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman sits down with Ginnie Carlier, EY's Americas Vice Chair of Talent, who oversees the experiences of more than 110,000 employees.

AI adoption in the tech sector has reached a tipping point, and the latest EY Technology Pulse poll offers a fascinating look at just how quickly things are moving. In this episode, I'm joined by Ken Englund, Partner at EY, to unpack the survey's findings and what they reveal about the next two years of AI in enterprise. Conducted with 500 senior tech executives from companies with more than 5,000 employees, the poll focuses on AI agents, autonomous deployments, and the shifting priorities that are shaping investment strategies. Ken shares why half of the respondents expect more than 50% of their AI deployments to be fully autonomous within 24 months, and why optimism around AI's potential remains high. He also explains a notable shift away from last year's heavy focus on large language models toward applied AI and agentic systems designed to handle real-world business workflows. While 92% of tech leaders plan to increase AI spending in 2026, the investment isn't solely about technology—it's about competitiveness, customer experience, and strategic alignment. One of the more surprising takeaways is the human side of the equation. Despite headlines predicting widespread job losses, only 9% of respondents anticipate layoffs in the next six months, down from 20% last year. Instead, companies are balancing upskilling existing staff with bringing in new AI talent, with roles emerging in areas like MLOps, AI product management, and forward-deployed engineering. Ken and I also dive into the growing weight of governance, data privacy, and security. With autonomous agents becoming more embedded in core operations, boards, CFOs, and audit teams are taking a closer look at trust frameworks without wanting to slow innovation. The conversation highlights a critical inflection point: most companies are still in the “automating existing workflows” phase, but the real breakthroughs will come when AI enables entirely new business models. This episode is a snapshot of a sector in rapid evolution—where enthusiasm is tempered by lessons learned, and where the road from pilot to production is still full of challenges.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

From 2017 to 2022, the company received over 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct in the United States, which averages to about one incident every eight minutes.The investigation, based on thousands of internal documents, found that while Uber studied the issue and even developed potential safety features like in-car cameras and a feature to match female drivers with female passengers, the company chose not to implement these safeguards because they were concerned about their bottom line and potential lawsuits.Tesla Grants Musk $29 Billion in Stock to Keep ‘Elon's Energies Focused' AND Elon Musk Accused of Stiffing Small Businesses for Millions of Dollars, Causing Some to File for Bankruptcy AND Elon Musk Shares Shockingly Sexist Tweet About Woman Being Property.

America's girlbosses are fed up.When companies won't offer work-from-home policies or the flexibility that working parents need, it can embolden people to become more entrepreneurial and build under their own terms.This is the greatest backlash - if every woman in a “masculine default”, “founder mode” 13 year old man baby culture where “Jamie Dimon says” and John Stankey (see assholiest) says “maybe you don't fit” goes and founds there own firms, I'm giddy to see them wipe the floor with those smug billionaire assholes. Side note - I missed this quote from January FT article in the post-Zuck-on-Rogan “masculine energy” interview, but it would have been assholiest of the decade:“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard' and ‘pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it's a new dawn.”MM: In that vein - A long-running anti-DEI lawsuit could help companies defend themselves from reverse-racism claims DR MMHello Alice as goodliest of the week - take down that fucknut Stephen Miller and his fake Nazi manboys.Assholiest of the Week (MM):Alex Karp and the men who go to elite universities and say elite universities are bullshit manbabiesPalantir CEO says working at his $430 billion software company is better than a degree from Harvard or Yale: ‘No one cares about the other stuff'Karp went to Haverford, then Stanford for a JD where he met Peter Thiel (who also doesn't like elite education)This past spring, the company also notably established the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month, paid internship for high school graduates who may be having second thoughts about higher education. Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal.TRANSLATION: I'm not surprised so many of you think we suck, I've been here 5 years as CEO and I'm not awesome at my job… but hold your breath while I tell you how it's your faultThis note may also help you identify areas where your professional expectations might be misaligned with the strategic direction of this company.TRANSLATION: It's your faultI understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment.TRANSLATION: Fuck your job, this is a meritocracy now. A manly meritocracy.I understand that many may find the demands of your daily lives challenging and difficult. Elder care, job stress, child rearing challenges, economic uncertainty, community unrest, technology anxiety — the list can get long…We run a dynamic, customer-facing business, tackling large-scale, challenging initiatives. If the requirements dictated by this dynamic do not align to your personal desires, you have every right to find a career opportunity that is suitable to your aspirations and needs. That said, if a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company and the culture we aim to establish.TRANSLATION: We know your life is hard, but shut the fuck up about it because I don't care.WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS BOARD?Here are the “go hard or go home” board membersBill Kennard, lead "independent" director connected in 13 loops to other directors, been there for 11 years, who got his undergrad in communications from Stanford and worked at the FCC and was an ambassador - proving once again that “communications” isn't a qualification for communicating?Marissa Mayer - maybe this business thing isn't for you?

It is nowhere near the scale of what we need to address the plans that have already been laid out by our residents, with our traffic engineers, with the coordination of the entire region.”MM: Jamie Smith at EY for writing the only other 2025 US proxy review that included a whole section on director votesPredictionsDR: Trump tries to fit into a pair of Sydney Sweeney's jeans (re: the OJ glove) to prove he did not know Epstein.

What if watching your family's business collapse became the reason you saved dozens of others? In this powerful episode of The Root of All Success, I sit down with Luke Boyinger, a fractional CFO, CPA, and financial strategist who turned personal pain into professional purpose. After seeing his family's business go bankrupt during the 2008 recession, Luke made it his mission to prevent other business owners from repeating the same fate. Today, through his firm Kruzumi, he helps founders understand their numbers, build strong financial habits, and scale profitably—not just grow blindly.
