Kevin demonstrates ways you can adopt AI in the next 100 daysSummary of the PodcastOverviewEpisode 2 of a mini-series within The Next 100 Days Podcast where Kevin Appleby and Graham Arrowsmith discuss how AI is influencing their workPre-recording conversation touched on football transfers (Nick Pope, James Trafford) before the formal recording beganKevin identified four or five distinct areas of AI usage he wanted to coverClaude as a Personal AI Assistant (Pre-Call Preparation)Kevin's primary personal AI tool is Claude Cowork, which he connects to email, Notion, HubSpot, calendar, Dropbox, and Google DriveUse case: 10 minutes before a client call, ask Claude to summarise all recent interactions across those sources — it surfaces outstanding promises, discussion topics, and what to raiseClaude can also draft emails into Gmail drafts (not sent), giving a ~90% ready version the user can refineGraham noted concern about integrating a Synology server; Kevin noted most personal data lives in Dropbox or Google Drive and Claude can connect to bothAI Agents Running AutomaticallyKevin runs two scheduled agents without manual triggeringAgent 1 (daily): Scans calendar 30 days out and checks whether each diary entry has a corresponding task in Notion; creates missing tasks automatically, including a Notion page for notesAgent 2 (weekly): Scans upcoming 30 days for GrowCFO Show or Next 100 Days podcast recordings, researches the guest online, and appends notes (bio, website links, suggested questions) to the relevant Notion taskKevin deliberately ignores AI-suggested questions to preserve natural curiosity in conversation, but acknowledges suggested questions are useful for solo-host formatsThe same agent concept applies to client/partner meetings: an agent could automatically pull last interaction notes before any key meetingAdopt AI in Finance Operations (GrowCFO Context)GrowCFO's current quarterly theme is Intelligent Finance Operations — covering the end-to-end finance cycle from purchase orders to final accountsThree-way matching: AI can match purchase orders, goods receipt notes, and invoices automatically; if all match, the invoice is paid without human interventionFraud detection: AI spots anomalies far more effectively than manual reviewReporting: AI can generate board reports and dashboards from accounting systems; demonstrated in a GrowCFO webinar with tech partner Round Treasury using ClaudeKey value: AI removes grunt work so finance professionals can focus on what the numbers mean, not just crunching themAI's Impact on Finance JobsSignificant job displacement expected in transactional/lower-level finance roles; less so for senior finance business partners whose work is relationship-basedChallenge: AI often saves portions of multiple people's jobs rather than eliminating whole roles, making headcount reduction difficult — a pattern observed in shared services projects long before AISupply of finance professionals is falling, particularly FP&A specialists in the US; AI may initially ease recruitment pressure rather than cut headcountMost finance teams are still at the "chatting with ChatGPT" stage, not yet using agentic or Cowork-style toolsA live example of a fully agentic debt-chasing system: an AI agent that checks the debtors ledger, identifies overdue accounts, calls customers, and holds an intelligent conversation about outstanding invoicesAI Connectivity LimitationsClaude's current integration with Xero is poor — only capable of producing basic debtor reports rather than actionable overdue listsCopilot and Gemini do not support Dropbox connectivity, limiting their use in Kevin's personal setupHallucination risk is reduced when AI operates within a well-defined, high-quality data "cocoon" — the importance of a single source of truthFaster Close and Rolling Forecasts"Faster close" — producing monthly accounts quickly rather than 10–15 days after month-end — has been a finance aspiration for 20+ years and AI now makes it achievableRolling forecasts with multiple scenarios (e.g., 0%, 25%, 50% tariff scenarios) can be modelled and run instantly by AI rather than taking weeks to buildAI Governance in FinanceSegregation of duties must be replicated in AI workflows: different agents or human approvers for setting up suppliers, authorising accounts, and making paymentsA single "super AI agent" handling everything end-to-end is not yet appropriate or auditableUsing AI for Research & White PapersKevin used ChatGPT Deep Research to read ~30 published documents from major consultancies (PwC, Deloitte, EY, Accenture, BCG, Forrester, etc.) on AI in finance ops in 15–20 minutes — work that previously would have taken two graduate trainees a fortnightHe gave both ChatGPT and Claude the same prompt and found ChatGPT produced a better overall result, though Claude surfaced some content ChatGPT missed; he combined bothAI is excellent at generating and researching text but structuring the final document, choosing diagrams, and making it consumable remains a human taskVirtual Board / AI AvatarsA GrowCFO partner CFO used AI avatars of their board members to anticipate board reactions to finance reports before presentingKevin tested a "virtual advisory board" in AI, including public figures like Michael Heppell, and received useful diverse perspectivesThe deeper goal: frame board materials to open up discussion rather than trigger defensive reactionsKAIOS — Kevin's AI Operating System (Personal Project)Started from a ChatGPT conversation: "What if everything you've been taught about time management is a lie?" — leading to the insight that most productivity systems just create more tasks rather than freedomEvolved into KAIOS (Kevin's AI Operating System): a Dropbox-based knowledge structure containing Kevin's values, StrengthsFinder profile, career history, stories, and frameworks — accessible by any AI model via instructions stored within the structureA book outline, introduction, and chapter frameworks have been drafted with ChatGPT's help; the project paused in favour of building KAIOS first so the book has genuine personal stories and IP embeddedGraham suggested this could be Kevin's biggest career opportunity — analogous to how MeclabsAI has built a multi-million pound business around systematised marketing knowledgeKevin noted he prefers positioning himself as an expert using AI in finance rather than as an AI expert per se, given how fast the field movesCareer Reflection & Future DirectionBoth hosts reflected on the retirement vs. continued work question; Kevin expressed enthusiasm for staying engaged with AI developments and not wanting to reach the point where technology no longer makes senseKevin acknowledged competitors in the AI-for-finance space (e.g., Nicholas Boucher's AI Finance Club) but sees his differentiation in applying deep finance and personal IP rather than competing directlyGrowCFO Show is approaching episodeThe Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

İmâm-ı Sûsî, İmâm-ı Iyâşî ve İbnü'l-Meşrî (rahimehümullâh) gibi ulemânın beyânı vechile; bâzı meşâyih şu vasiyetlerde bulunmuşlardır: “İnsanlara eziyet etmekten, onlara zarar vermekten, ayıplarını ve avretlerini araştırmaktan uzak durun. Gerçekten kim bunlarla uğraşırsa ne dünyâda ne de âhirette felâh bulmaz. Özellikle şu sayacağımız işlerden uzak durmaya devâm edin. Zîrâ her kim bunlardan birine dahî düşerse, hiç şüphesiz Allâhü Teâlâ onu kâfir olarak öldürecektir: 1. Müslümanlara çokça eziyet etmek, 2. Çok zinâ yapıp tevbesiz ölmek, 3. Yalan yere velî olduğunu iddiâ etmek, 4. İzinsiz ve icâzetsiz şeyhlik makāmına geçmek, 5. Gıybet ve dedikoduya dalıp tevbesiz ölmek. İşte bu sayılanlardan birine bile devâm eden kişi, ne kadar sâlih amel yapsa da kâfir öleceği kesindir. Ancak her kim bu yaptıklarından tevbe eder de, ölünceye kadar tevbesinde sebât ederse ve bu günahlara ısrâr etmeksizin ölebilirse, o kişi îmânını kurtarabilir.” (Muhammed ibnü'l-Meşri‘ es-Sâihî, el-Câmi‘, s. 322) ÖLÜM MELEĞİNİN SURETİ Rivâyet edildiğine göre Hz. İbrahim ölüm meleğine fâcir bir kimsenin ruhunu aldığında üzerinde bulunduğun surette bana kendini gösterebilir misin?' diye sordu. Ölüm meleği ‘Bu durumda senin bana bakmaya gücün yetmez!' dedi. Hz. İbrahim (a.s.) ‘Gücüm yeter' dedi. Melek ‘O halde yüzünü çevir!' dedi. Bunun üzerine İbrahim (a.s.) yüzünü çevirince, simsiyah, saçları dik, kokusu müteaffin, elbiseleri simsiyah, ağız ve burun deliklerinden alevler ve duman çıkan bir kişi gördü. Bunun üzerine İbrahim (a.s.) düşüp bayıldı. Ayıldığında melek eski suretine dönmüştü. Bunun üzerine Hz. İbrahim (a.s.) ‘Ey ölüm meleği! Eğer ölüm anında fâcir kimseye, görünüşünden başka bir dehşet isabet etmese dahi bu ona kâfi gelir' dedi. (İmam Gazali, İhya-u Ulumiddin, s. 2661)

Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded live after the third Leaders in Finance Compliance Event at the H'ART Museum in Amsterdam, where over 100 participants from more than 50 organisations came together to discuss the future of compliance in financial services, with a particular focus on AI, technology and crypto. Host Kees de Wit reflects on the day's key themes together with Leanne Joseph (moderator of the event), Tom van de Laar (Head of Financial Crime Compliance & Deputy Chief Compliance Officer, Rabobank), and Pieter van Doorn (Partner, Deloitte). Together, they discuss how rapidly developing technologies are changing the compliance profession, whether AI could eventually replace parts of the compliance function, and why human judgement will remain essential. They also reflect on the rise of crypto and neobanks, the impact of regulation such as MiCAR, and the continuing tension between innovation and effective oversight. And looking ahead: how can financial institutions, regulators and other public and private parties work together more effectively, build trust and respond with greater urgency to a rapidly changing financial landscape? A big thank you to all speakers, participants and our event partners for making this another inspiring edition of the Leaders in Finance Compliance Event. Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya. More information about our partners is available on our partner page.

The fastest way to learn AI may be to stop learning about it and start building with it.In the most recent HR Leaders Podcast episode, I had an inspiring conversation with Simon Brown Global Learning & Development Leader, Partner, Talent at EY.He explains why organisations need to move beyond simply teaching people what AI is and create learning experiences that help employees build confidence by using AI in the context of their actual work.By combining protected learning time, hands-on agent building, responsible AI principles and a stronger focus on human judgement, EY is exploring what it takes to build AI capability at scale while keeping learning relevant as the technology continues to evolve.5 things you'll learn from this episode:How EY is moving employees from learning about AI to actually building with itThe capability Simon believes people need before they can delegate meaningful work to AI agentsWhy making AI learning part of everyday work can change how quickly new skills are adoptedThe reason stronger AI tools may actually make human expertise and judgement more valuableHow learning leaders may need to redesign their approach when AI capabilities change faster than traditional training cycles

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small Cap Spotlight, Our Bond, Inc. Founder and CEO Doron Kempel joins WTR's James Kisner and Tim Gerdeman to introduce the company's AI-powered preventative personal security platform and the profound gap it addresses. With 140 million Americans reporting they feel unsafe walking alone at night and 500,000 women severely sexually assaulted annually, Kempel explains why the existing 911 paradigm leaves most people unprotected in the moments that matter most, and how Bond's 24/7 command center of trained security agents delivers a response in five seconds rather than 10-plus minutes. The conversation covers the company's seven preventative services, including video monitoring, Track Me on the Go, and Ready an Agent, its 1.5 million security service requests handled to date, and a live demonstration of the platform in action. Kempel also walks through a new EY study showing Bond can save employers approximately $200 per employee per year through reduced healthcare costs, lower churn, and higher engagement, and outlines the company's strategy across corporate, city, and university verticals, including a city of 270,000 residents already subscribing and dialogue underway with approximately 20 cities across France, Israel, Mexico, and Brazil. The episode closes with the milestones investors should watch as Bond moves toward an inflection point in deal velocity, sales cycle compression, and contract size.

They come from the rare few who have built deep expertise across multiple domains and know how to bring those layers together. Tara Austraat-Churik is doing exactly that as Partner at Blue Matter, where she leads the firm's first R&D practice at the intersection of drug discovery, clinical development, and AI-driven transformation. With a career spanning government intelligence, pharmacovigilance, IBM Watson Health, and Ernst Young, Tara has developed what she calls Compound Expertise, depth earned repeatedly across fields that compounds into judgment no single path can produce. Join us to discover how she and the Blue Matter team are helping biopharma organizations reimagine the future of R&D, navigate the AI transformation ahead, and keep the patient at the center of it all. Let's go!Episode Highlights:Tara's "compound expertise" across government intelligence, IBM, EY, and pharma fuels her unique R&D consulting approach.Blue Matter's R&D practice is built on scientific depth, AI-driven tools, and ecosystem partnerships, not generic consulting frameworks.Tara predicts R&D workforces will shrink in headcount but grow in capability, with leaders managing both humans and AI agents.The biggest AI transformation mistake: treating it as a technology problem rather than a decision-making transformation.True client partnership happens when clients call for off-scope advice, trusting your judgment beyond any formal deliverable.About our Guest: Tara Austraat-Churik is a Partner at Blue Matter, where she leads the firm's R&D practice at the intersection of drug discovery, clinical development, and AI-driven transformation.Over a twenty-plus year career, she has built expertise across government intelligence, drug safety, enterprise technology, and life sciences — serving in roles including Acting General Manager of a $6 billion IBM consulting division and Managing Director of Health, Science, and Wellness at EY.

Some conversations are worth returning to. This is certainly one of them. Anneka Treon's original appearance became the most-listened-to episode in the history of the Leaders in Finance Podcast. In this new ten-minute edit, Jeroen Broekema revisits some of its most memorable moments. Anneka talks about growing up as a competitive chess player and a self-described nerd, what first drew her to financial services, and the striking cultural differences between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. She also reflects on ambition, competition and why building a career is ultimately a marathon, not a sprint. At the time of the original recording, Anneka worked at Van Lanschot Kempen. She has since joined ING, where she leads its global wealth management business. Enjoy these ten minutes with Anneka Treon. Would you like to hear more? Listen to the full original episode here.

Mathieu Geindre, Group CFO de Clauger, revient sur un parcours international commencé chez Airbus et poursuivi chez EY avant de rejoindre le groupe familial spécialisé dans le froid industriel et le traitement d'air. Après une expérience à Chicago, il accompagne aujourd'hui la forte croissance de Clauger, groupe industriel français présent dans plus de 100 pays et qui se structure pour franchir le cap du milliard d'euros de chiffre d'affaires. Il explique les enjeux financiers d'une telle hypercroissance, entre structuration des équipes, maîtrise du cash, financement et préservation de l'indépendance familiale. Pour lui, le rôle du CFO ne peut pas se limiter à la finance : il doit contribuer au pilotage global de la performance, en intégrant le client, l'humain et l'environnement. Mathieu Geindre revient également sur le choix d'une organisation décentralisée, fondée sur des hubs autonomes et une proximité forte avec les équipes locales. Une approche qui doit permettre à Clauger de conserver son agilité tout en accompagnant son changement d'échelle. Enfin, il détaille la place croissante de l'intelligence artificielle dans la transformation du groupe. L'objectif est notamment de gagner en agilité, de développer des outils adaptés aux métiers et de remettre en question le modèle traditionnel de l'ERP, afin de suivre le rythme d'une entreprise en hypercroissance.Hébergé par Ausha.

First up on this episode of Inside Business, a family firm that has become one of Ireland's best-known food brands.Maxine Hyde's grandmother - Ballymaloe founder Myrtle Allen - began making relish in the kitchen of their family run hotel. Today, Ballymaloe Foods has a range of products sold in supermarkets nationally, and a turnover of €15m.Host Ciaran Hancock gives their signature relish a taste, and asks what it takes to grow a food business in a market dominated by multinational brands. How have changing consumer tastes shaped the company's strategy? And can a premium Irish food producer continue to thrive as households keep a close eye on spending?Also in this episode, we put one of the most talked-about gadgets of the year under the microscope. Dyson's latest electric toothbrush comes with a price tag of €479, making it one of the most expensive brushes on the market. But does it actually deliver a better clean? Who is it designed for? And can any toothbrush really justify costing more than some smartphones?Irish Times business and technology reporter Ciara O'Brien has been putting the device to the test.Brought to you in association with EY.Produced by John Casey, JJ Vernon and Andrew McNair.

En Allemagne, la victoire de l'AfD en Saxe-Anhalt représente un choc électoral. L'extrême-droite pourrait être en mesure de gouverner une région pour la première fois depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Retour sur les raisons économiques qui poussent les électeurs allemands dans les bras de l'extrême droite. L'AfD se nourrit d'un double déclin : le déclin industriel et le déclin démographique allemand. D'abord, l'industrie. C'est depuis toujours le pilier de l'économie allemande. Dans l'automobile, la chimie, la sidérurgie, ses champions vendaient l'excellence allemande dans le monde entier. Et c'est ce pilier industriel qui, depuis cinq ou six ans, ne cesse de se fissurer. À commencer par l'automobile : d'après une étude exhaustive du cabinet EY parue en février, l'industrie automobile a perdu plus de 140 000 emplois depuis 2019. Depuis, les géants allemands Volkswagen et Mercedes ont annoncé des plans d'économies drastiques et la probable fermeture de plusieurs usines sur le sol allemand. Un séisme. Les raisons sont multiples : le virage raté vers l'électrique, la concurrence chinoise, le coût de l'énergie accentué par les guerres en Ukraine et au Moyen-Orient, les guerres commerciales à répétition déclenchées par Donald Trump sont venues saper un deuxième pilier de l'économie allemande : le commerce international. L'industrie automobile est la plus durement touchée, c'est la plus symbolique, mais ce n'est pas l'exception, c'est la règle : c'est l'ensemble du modèle allemand qui aujourd'hui est en question. Ce déclin est en lien direct avec le vote de l'extrême droite : 10 % des électeurs de l'AfD sont sans emploi. C'est plus que chez n'importe quelle autre formation politique, mais c'est même 5 à 10 fois plus que dans les partis dits de gouvernement. Autrement dit, il y a une corrélation directe entre le chômage, qui est la conséquence de tout ce qu'on vient de décrire, et le score de l'extrême-droite. Mais ça ne suffit pas à expliquer le résultat de dimanche. Pour cela, il faut parler du déclin démographique qui frappe l'Allemagne. La population allemande baisse d'année en année. Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau, mais il s'accentue : en 2025, le nombre de naissances a atteint son niveau le plus bas depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Désormais, l'immigration ne parvient plus à compenser la baisse des naissances, à tel point que l'an dernier, le pays a perdu 100 000 habitants. Et ce phénomène touche particulièrement les régions de l'ex-Allemagne de l'Est, comme la Saxe-Anhalt. Des régions qui, au moment de la réunification il y a 35 ans, avaient déjà subi un exode massif et des fermetures d'usines. Aujourd'hui, ces régions sinistrées sont aussi celles qui attirent le moins les populations immigrées. Les Turcs, les Syriens, les Ukrainiens, les immigrés européens s'installent davantage dans les grandes villes de l'ouest pour y trouver du travail. Les projections des démographes anticipent qu'à l'exception du grand Berlin, les régions de l'ex-RDA pourraient perdre entre 6 et jusqu'à 25 % de leur population d'ici 2045. « Je ne sais pas si vous imaginez le déclassement que cela représente : un habitant sur quatre en moins d'ici 20 ans. » Et c'est peut-être là tout le paradoxe de ce vote AfD : les électeurs de Saxe-Anhalt plébiscitent un parti qui a fait de la lutte contre l'immigration sa priorité, alors que l'urgence serait de redynamiser ces régions en attirant une nouvelle population. Mais ce serait éluder la dimension xénophobe du vote pour l'extrême-droite. Là, on sort de l'économie, et on passe dans le domaine de la sociologie.

Emre uy, yasaklardan kaçın. Şu belalara sabırla karşı koy. Nafile sünnet ibadetleri yapmaya çalış; sünnet olan işleri yapmaya gayretli ol, ismin “Uyanıklar” defterine yazılır. Yaratıcı'dan sana başarı gelir. Yaptığın çalışma boşa gitmez. Zorla huzur bulunmaz; bu sevdayı bırak. Amel kapısına yapışırsan o da senin için sonuna kadar açık kalır. Yanımda akıllı durunuz. Bana sebatla bağlanınız. Niyetinizi tam tutunuz. Azimet sahibi olunuz. Beni töhmetle yâd etmeyiniz. Hakkımda iyi düşününüz. Böyle yaparsanız sözlerimin yararını bulursunuz; dediklerimin mânasını anlarsınız. Ey beni töhmet altına almak isteyen, yarın her şey açığa çıkar. Hâlimi olduğu gibi anlarsın. Aman, beni zahmete sokmayınız. Hâlime bırakınız beni. Kalp hâlin beni kahra uğratmak istiyor. Beni mağlûp etmek istiyor. Hâlbuki dünya işleri başımı aştı. Âhiret işleri kalbimi sardı. Allah Teâlâ'nın büyük tecellisi, sır âlemini kapladı. Sizlerle uğraşacak hâlim mi var? Bana yardımcı yok mu? Bana iyilikle yanaşacak kişi nerede? Kendi öz düşüncesi ile hâlimi soracak kimse yok mu? Yardımcım olduğu için kim Allah'a hamd eder? Herkes gibi benim de yardımcıya ihtiyacım olur. Hak Teâlâ'dan gayrı herkesin yardıma ihtiyacı vardır. Akıllı olunuz. Allah yoluna girenlere karşı iyi edep tavrı takınınız. Onlar, aşiretlerin bölüşmesi imkânsız olan kişilerdir. Beldeler onların hürmetine durur. Kullar onlar için esirgenir. Yeryüzü onların şerefine muhafaza edilir. Onlar olmasa sizin gösterişli hâlinizi kim neyler? Nifak ve şer hâliniz bir günde bu ülkeyi yıkar, batırır. Ey Allah'ın düşmanı münafıklar, Peygamber'in (s.a.v) sevmediği kimseler ve ateşe yanacak odunlar, sizin ne kıymetiniz var? Allah'ım, tevbemi kabul et. Onlara da tevbe nasib eyle. Beni ve onları ayıktır. Hem bana hem de onlara acı; rahmet nazarınla bak. Nefse verilen şeyde senin dahlin yoktur. Kadere senin hükmün geçmez. Sana düşen, duyguların kontrolüdür. Niyetin temiz tutulması, sana düşen vazifeler arasındadır. Bunu yaparsan, Hak tarafından iyi kimseler arasına yazılırsın. Kısmetler kaybolmaz. Gücüne, kuvvetine ve elinde bulunan fâni mala güvendiğin zaman gayb âleminden bir şey bekleme. * Allah'ım, sebeplere dayanmaktan sana sığınırız. Heveslere dalmaktan bizi koru. Boş alışkanlıkla olmayı bize nasib etme. Bütün, hâllerde Sen'den Sana sığınırız. “Rabb'imiz, bize dünyada iyilik ver. Âhirette iyiliğini esirgeme. Bizi ateşe atılmaktan koru.” (Bakara 201) “Allah'ın mahlukları arasında üç yüz Ebdal denilen has veli kulları vardır. Allah onların vesilesiyle hayat verir, öldürür. Onların yüzü suyu hürmetine yağmur yağdırır, belaları def eder.” (Aclunî, Keşful-hafa,1/33) Hz. Ömerin yağmur duasında hz. Abbas ile tevessülü. Müslüman olan insan baklava gibi tatlı olur ama cahil kalırsa turşulu baklava kadar ekşi olur. Tasavvuf ince insan yetiştirme sanatıdır. İnsanlar kaba insanlar odunlaşırlar. Cahillerle beraber oldukça cahilleşirler. Kelime hazneleri gittikçe daralır toplamlarına geçirmek zorunda kalırlar. Herhangi bir şeyi örneklendirmek istedikleri ellerinde bir çok düzgün seçenek olmasına rağmen en kötüyü ve en dip seçeneği tercih ederler en kötü kelimeyi tercih ederler. Kaliteli Müslümanlar örnek vereceği zaman mesela derler misali derler faraza derler diyelim ki derler bir şeyi örneklendirme on kelimesi vardır. Ama cahiller örneklendirmek istedikleri zaman sözde şöyle başlarlar atıyorum atıyorum ne ya ne atıyorsun oğlum sen. Başka bir cahil şöyle der sallıyorum ya ne sallama adamsın sen ya sallamak ne demek örneğinde mesela de farz de.

In this episode, Priyanka Chaudhry, Global Deputy Vice Chair for Managed Services at EY, joins Fiona Czerniawska, CEO at Source, to explore the changing landscape of managed services and how organisations are navigating today's "NAVI" world.   We explore the following questions and more:  How are the different market conditions (nonlinear, accelerated, volatile, and interconnected, or NAVI) forcing leaders to rethink how they run business functions? With many CxOs focused solely on their own departments, how can managed services close that gap and drive transformation across the organisation?  How can firms combine specialist knowledge across tax, finance, tech, and risk to make complex business challenges easier to manage for clients?  How can we equip early-career team members to orchestrate complex work alongside AI agents and co-workers?  Why is it important that managed services offer professionals hands-on experience in executing and shaping business outcomes?  How does getting involved in local community projects and public-private partnerships help build better leaders?  If you're interested in listening to more episodes like this one, click here.   For more information on managed services, see our recently published report on The future of managed services: The rising star of consulting offerings. And to speak to our experts about the latest market data and growth opportunities in this area, get in touch.

Since August 2024, he has been responsible for ING's global technology landscape and advises the Management Board on technology-driven business opportunities. As he puts it, his role covers almost everything at ING that contains “a chip or a line of code.” He leads a global technology organisation of around 20,000 employees. His responsibilities include the reliability and security of ING's systems, engineering productivity, the transition to scalable global technology platforms and cloud-native architecture, and innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence. Before joining ING, Daniele was Group Chief Information Officer at UniCredit and CEO of UniCredit Services. Earlier in his career, he led AXA Technology Services, served as Global CIO at Evalueserve, held technology and operations leadership roles at Swiss Life, and worked in consulting at Mercer Management Consulting and McKinsey & Company. Daniele grew up in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland and studied engineering at ETH Zurich. He later completed executive education programmes at Harvard, IMD, INSEAD and MIT Sloan. Daniele is 54, is married, lives in Switzerland and has four children. In this conversation, Daniele discusses what it takes to lead technology at scale, why AI can turn “garbage in, garbage out” into “garbage in, disaster out,” and how ING balances innovation with standardisation, security and resilience. He also reflects on his leadership style, the future of junior engineers, technological sovereignty, introversion, family life and his lifelong desire to build things.

Introduction Most carriers can say how many AI pilots they are running. Far fewer can say where every automated decision in the business sits. That gap is the subject of this episode. Josh Hollander is joined by Karl Canty and Paul Laurent of Artefact, the global data and AI consultancy, for a working conversation about the four frameworks converging on US insurance: the NAIC model bulletin, California's ADMT rules, Colorado's algorithm governance regime, and New York's DFS circular letter. Paul argues that this combination has made US insurance the most completely defined AI governance environment anywhere, and that the scope reaches well past the AI programs carriers are proud of. Rules engines, credit scores, telematics feeds, and vendor models are all inside it. Karl's argument is that carriers moving on this for the first time are not first movers, they are late, and that the inventory work the rules force on you is the same work that makes your own data usable for growth. Guest Bio Karl Canty is Partner and US Insurance Lead at Artefact, where he is building the firm's North American insurance practice. He has spent about twenty-five years in insurance data, technology, and operations, including advisory roles at PwC and EY, a data and AI leadership role at EXL, and a partnership at Capco. He writes for Digital Insurance on where AI actually pays for carriers. Paul Laurent is Head of AI Risk and Data Trust at Artefact, running the firm's AI governance advisory practice across North America. He describes himself as a technical lawyer: criminal prosecutions early on, a master's in computer science, then a decade at Oracle translating regulatory obligations into working architecture, followed by identity, data security, privacy, and now AI. He has contributed to NIST framework work across cybersecurity, privacy, and AI risk management. Key Topics -The four timelines - New York in force since July 2024, an NAIC pilot ending in an AI systems evaluation, California live with enforcement from January 2027, and Colorado already amended toward California's standard. -Scope is wider than AI - California's rules reach deterministic tools and legacy rules engines, which pulls decades-old underwriting and claims infrastructure into the conversation. -The vendor chain is not a place to put the risk - The NAIC treats external consumer data and information systems, including credit scores and telematics, as the carrier's responsibility. -Compliance cannot be delegated to a third-party vendor. -Human in the loop rarely survives the test - California wrote three bright-line conditions for human review. In Paul's assessments, more than eighty percent of processes carriers describe as human-reviewed do not meet them. -Nobody can produce the inventory - The first question in every engagement is where the business makes significant decisions with automation. Paul gets the same answer every time: we have some, we don't know where all of it is, and there is probably shadow. -CalPrivacy is already staffed and fining - Roughly 150 complaints actioned, capacity for a hundred at a time, and eight-figure fines appearing. -Where the work turns into growth - Karl's case for entity resolution, a real AI roadmap, and a durable enterprise AI competency coming out of the same assessment that satisfies the regulators. -The pause happening right now - Paul's most governance-mature client has stopped agentic AI development until these questions are answered, and the conversation inside carriers has moved from the CIO to the chief data officer. Notable Quotes "The most completely defined spot on the global AI governance workspace right now is the US insurance industry." "The vendor chain for NAIC is explicit. You cannot delegate compliance responsibility to a third-party vendor." "I don't think that companies who are moving right now for the first time are first movers. I think you're already late." "If you could tech your way out of this problem, it would have happened already."

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered, Hansa Iyengar, Practice Leader at HFS Research, speaks with David McQueen, EY's Global SAP Consulting Managing Partner & Global Consulting Executive Committee Member, about what separates a technically successful SAP S/4HANA migration from a transformation that delivers real business value. The discussion follows EY's recognition in Horizon 3 of the HFS SAP S/4HANA Transformation Services Horizons. David explains why successful ERP transformation depends on three fundamentals: clean, well-governed data, deep process expertise, and strong, business-led change management. While AI is accelerating ERP programs, it amplifies the importance of these foundations rather than replacing them. The conversation also explores outcome-based transformation, including EY's "phase zero" approach and the Transformation Realized platform, which helps define value up front and align commercial models with measurable business outcomes. David argues that future success depends on shared accountability between clients and systems integrators. They conclude by discussing the need for stronger business ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and better governance throughout transformation programs. David's key takeaway is clear: SAP transformations succeed when they're treated as business initiatives supported by technology, not technology projects alone.

Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season. Investor advocates have since sued the agency, alleging the change violates the Administrative Procedure Act.AI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsAI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsGOP Begs AI Firms to Fix Data Centers' “Toxic Brand” to Help Midterm Chances As A.I.

AI on society? AI on the environment?

It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically.

New EY research reveals that 97% of established U.S. entrepreneurs pursued strategic partnerships during 2025 or 2026, while growth remained their number-one priority. So what can reverse mortgage professionals learn from them? In this Industry Leader Insights, HECM World publisher and Reverse Focus President Andrew Montesi explores how successful entrepreneurs are pursuing growth without bloat — using partnerships, AI, better data and greater leverage rather than simply adding more leads, technology, people and cost. Andrew looks at: Why strategic partnerships have become a core growth strategy What the 97% finding means for reverse mortgage loan officers Why genuine partnerships go far beyond asking for referrals How trust can create measurable commercial value Why entrepreneurs are becoming more selective about AI and technology The data and visibility problem holding partnership networks back How reverse mortgage professionals can create more value from the relationships and opportunities they already have For an industry built around education, trust and professional relationships, the lesson is clear: scale doesn't always come from owning or adding more. Sometimes it comes from connecting what you already have much more effectively.

Vergeet de beursgang van SpaceX: die van Anthropic wordt nog veel groter. Het bedrijf groeide van amper een miljard dollar omzet eind 2024 naar makkelijk 50 miljard dollar in de eerste helft van dit jaar. En in 2028? Dan staat er 200 miljard dollar op de borden, zegt het bedrijf. Is dit net zulke science fiction als SpaceX in zijn prospectus zette? En hoe gevoelig is dit bedrijf eigenlijk voor concurrentie? Dat bespreken we in deze aflevering. Verder houden we bij BNR Beurs wel van een mooie comeback. BlackBerry is niet langer het telefoonbedrijf dat op sterven na dood was na de introductie van de iPhone. Het is een infrastructuurspeler geworden, met technologie die gebruikt wordt door robots, medische spelers en defensiebedrijven. En daarom werd het bedrijf het afgelopen jaar 2.5 keer zoveel waard. Boem! We bespreken hoe ze dat voor elkaar kregen. Natuurlijk moeten we ook nog even gluren bij de buren, nu het nog kan. Jane Street wil zijn eigen schuldpapier minder publiek maken, maar tot die tijd kunnen we meekijken hoe het bedrijf met de grootste handelswinsten op Wall Street eigenlijk zijn geld verdient. En wat blijkt? Het verloor tientallen miljarden aan Leopold Aschenbrenner, de jonge knaap en wonderbelegger wiens fonds vorige maand opbrandde in de atmosfeer. Tot slot die halfjaarcijfers van Ebusco. Als het niet lukt om een nieuwe kredietfaciliteit af te sluiten, en een grote aandeelhouder niet bijstort, denkt het bedrijf dat er materiële uitdagingen ontstaan om zijn verplichtingen na te komen. Lees: dan is het einde verhaal.Te gast: Niels Koerts van Stockwatch.nl en de podcast het Beurscafé.BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a busy week for tech giant Meta. Its new glasses have sparked controversy over privacy concerns, while founder Mark Zuckerberg published his AI manifesto, and the company indicated that it might be willing to pay local communities to host data centres in their areas. Irish Times tech expert Ciara O'Brien explains why the glasses have caused such a stir and how Zuckerberg's approach to AI differs.In part two: Ireland's corporation tax receipts are bulging, helped by the increase in the rate of tax paid by large companies as a result of recent changes agreed under the auspices of the OECD. The government recently published exchequer returns for the first seven months of the year, giving an insight into the extra corporation tax that is likely to flow our way. It's a helpful backdrop for the government in the run-up to October's budget. Eoin Burke-Kennedy looks at the numbers and what they mean. He also looks at what might happen to Ireland's public finances if an Apple, Microsoft, or Eli Lilly were to pull out.Brought to you in association with EY. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Joe and Dawn Brolin talk about the accelerating impact of AI on the accounting profession, from secure, specialized AI tools to the emerging potential of quantum computing. They explore why accounting professionals need to move beyond fear and begin experimenting with AI now, sharing practical examples of using tools like Claude and Tax Figure to analyze financial data, strengthen advisory services, and work more efficiently. Current events — EY installed a quantum computer in their Toronto office TV/Movie quote of the week — The Greatest Showman House of the Dragon Excellent Thing We Learned — There are a series of tags you can use that will change the way most GPTs will respond to you. Examples are: TRUTHMODE – forces direct, unvarnished feedback instead of the AI just agreeing with you HUMAN – strips the "AI voice," makes writing sound like a person wrote it HORMOZI – answers like a blunt, ROI focused business coach (style associated with Alex Hormozi) REDTEAM – argues against your idea to stress test it before you commit FUTUREYOU – answers as if it's the version of you who already solved this problem ELI10 – explains it like you're 10 years old, no jargon UNLEARN – flags outdated assumptions or bad advice you're carrying around 80/20 – skips straight to the highest leverage move, ignores the rest SOCRATES – teaches by asking you questions instead of handing you the answer LINDYMODE – sticks to long proven approaches, filters out hype and fads The Woodard Report article of the week — Accounting Pros Now Have a Voice at the AI Table Thank you to our show sponsor, Rightworks!

In this episode, Patti and Mike unpack what disruption really means, how family businesses are redefining succession, and why the best entrepreneurial stories often start with someone who had nothing but an idea and the nerve to act on it.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace, but successful organizations know that technology alone isn't enough. Recorded live at World Workplace Europe, Dr. Matt Tucker sits down with Jessica Schmidt, Future of Work Strategy Lead at EY, to discuss how leaders can prepare their workforce for the future of work.

A.M. Edition for July 31. Earnings from AI hyperscalers this week showed rising demand for their cloud services, with Amazon's CEO forecasting corporate AI use was still in its ‘early stages.' But as EY's Dan Diasio tells us, rising token costs are leading many businesses to question their broader AI approach. Plus, the U.S. says Hamas has agreed to a broad plan to disarm in exchange for an eventual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. And WSJ reporter Margherita Stancati describes how the arrival of thousands of migrants into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from neighboring Morocco is piling political pressure on the center-left government in Madrid.

Why do so many people genuinely want to change... yet continue repeating the same behaviors year after year?   Why do New Year's resolutions fail? Why does motivation disappear? And why do so many intelligent, successful people stay trapped in habits they desperately want to break?   In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with transformation consultant, executive coach, and bestselling author Michael J. López to explore the neuroscience behind lasting behavioral change.   Drawing from more than two decades of experience helping Fortune 500 companies navigate transformation, Michael explains why nearly 70% of change initiatives fail—and why the same principles apply to our personal lives.   Together, Frank and Michael bridge the gap between neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and identity transformation, showing listeners why lasting change isn't about trying harder—it's about understanding how the brain actually works.   If you've ever struggled to stay consistent with your goals, break a destructive habit, overcome addiction, or become the person you know you're capable of becoming, this conversation will completely reshape the way you think about personal transformation.     In This Episode You'll Learn Why nearly 70% of transformations fail   The real reason motivation eventually disappears   Why willpower alone is never enough   How your brain is wired to resist change   Why identity matters more than behavior   The neuroscience behind dopamine and habit formation   How to intentionally rewire your brain through difficult experiences   Why mistakes are essential for adult learning and neuroplasticity   The surprising reason your brain actually craves familiarity—even when it's unhealthy   How stress can become one of your greatest tools for growth   Why your environment plays such a powerful role in transformation   How to build resilience by strengthening your brain's "effort center"   Practical strategies anyone can begin using today to create lasting change     About Michael J. López Michael J. López is a transformation consultant, executive coach, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Change: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Transform Your Brain, Body, and Behavior.   As the founder of Michael J.
