‘Behind the scenes' industry leader is behind rising CX and rising CX expectations “We're really excited about the rise of AI, and I think everybody in technology is very excited about the rise of AI,” says Ethan Gustav the Group President of North America for Infobip. In this podcast recorded in the run up to MWC 2024, Gustav updates us on Infobip and how exciting technology changes are unfolding. “We're really excited about that because basically what it does is it takes the core of our portfolio, which is this incredible high quality, global reaching connectivity in all these different communication modalities. And it basically makes them intelligent, and it supercharges them. Chatbots have been around for a while and there's been some very cool use cases and I think some really positive ROI to the customer experience with chatbots. But basically, this just puts them all on steroids and is a step factor to taking these capabilities to the next level. So, we're excited about interactive AI, the ability for a bot to call on different and sometimes disparate software and services and APIs and really pull together an experience that solves a consumer's problem.” Gustav describes Infobip as a “behind the scenes company”, one of those firms whose products and services you have likely experienced, without knowing it was Infobip. We generally work with major enterprises and major brands globally. We also work very closely with wireless operators as partners and customers. But basically, what we do is we provide a number of different communication modalities, channels, if you will, across messaging, voice, video, email.” Part of that story is delivering great, seamless CX, right to people's smartphones, while keeping those same devices and processes as free from fraud, spam, and other abuses, as possible. Meanwhile, the way people communicate, do commerce and work, is changing. “I really do think that we're going to be at a point where some of the rich channels, so like RCS, WhatsApp, Line, Viber, Kakao Talk, all across the globe, I think we're really going to see the emergence of these channels really take off.” Visit www.infobip.com

Global independent power company ENGIE, which is prioritising the South African electricity market for significant organic and acquisitive growth, is also open to participating in grid investments should government move to open the market to private sector participation. ENGIE South Africa CEO Mohamed Hoosen tells Engineering News that the bigger group already has significant transmission grid assets globally and has also participated in build, own, operate and transfer projects. South Africa's Electricity Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, has reported that government is considering various financing and private sector participation models to support an acceleration in the building of grid infrastructure, which has emerged as a key constraint to the connection of new renewables in the Eastern, Northern and Western Cape provinces. The Minister was recently given responsibility for ensuring that matters concerning "transmission are dealt with, including the issuing of the requests for proposals", as well as "developing and agreeing on financing models and options for transmission together with National Treasury and the Presidency". Cabinet is expected to consider a strategy for unlocking private finance and capacity early in 2024, with Ramokgopa having already indicated that he believes Eskom's Transmission Development Plan (TDP), which currently aims to add 14 000 km of new powerlines by 2032, should be accelerated. He has also indicated a need to bring forward some of the TDP investments, with the current plan having earmarked the lion's share of the roll-out only for the period after 2028. Hoosen reports that a portion of ENGIE South Africa's 4 GW renewables pipeline, which has been enlarged following the acquisition in December of BTE Renewables, and its 3 GW portfolio of advanced projects, are in grid-constrained areas and that its growth ambitions could, thus, be enhanced by new and accelerated grid investment. However, for ENGIE South Africa to participate Hoosen says government's private sector participation policy would have to be certain, while the actual deployment model would also have to be supportive and consistent. "What is important is to be very clear about the model from the start, as challenges arise when there is uncertainty on the policy or when changes are introduced during implementation," Hoosen says. PROJECT CONSTRUCTION & NEW BIDS The company's immediate focus, however, is on the construction of projects awarded under Bid Window Five (BW5) of South Africa's renewables procurement programme and the risk mitigation scheme, as well as bedding down the BTE Renewables acquisition. This, while simultaneously preparing bids for the procurement programmes launched for wind and solar, battery storage and gas-to-power (GTP). ENGIE South Africa is particularly interested to learn whether brownfield conversions and expansions will be considered under the recently launched 2 000 MW GTP bid window, given its position in the existing 670 MW Avon and 335 MW Dedisa diesel-fired peaking stations - assets secured by the then GDF Suez group, now ENGIE, during South Africa's first-ever independent power producer procurement programme. Hoosen believes a conversion of the plants to operate using gas (and at a mid-merit-type profile, rather than their current peaking profile) represents a compelling case, from both a cost and speed to deploy perspective. But the group is also assessing greenfield opportunities, including facilities that could integrate with the common gas infrastructure being envisaged for locations such as Richards Bay and Coega. Hoosen says coordination across multiple developments and across multiple project sponsors could prove challenging, however, particularly given that there would be a firm date for commercial operation of the GTP facility. That said, the benefits of shared infrastructure could also be material. ENGIE South Africa will also participate in BW7 of the renewables programme, under which ...

Have you struggled with turnover post-pandemic? Looking for insights on adapting and fortifying your agency? What about outsourcing strategies that enable growth? The pandemic has had a profound impact on the IT industry, with one of its major consequences being the mass exodus of employees, resulting in the loss of experienced staff members who had been with companies for 15 to 20 years. This has posed a tremendous challenge for IT companies, compelling them to adapt and fortify their processes. Today's guest is an Indian entrepreneur who managed to learn and adapt to these new challenges after previous experiences surviving failure and rising again in a new niche. Tune in to gain insights on scaling your agency and the benefits of outsourcing IT services. Shamit Khemka is the founder of SynapseIndia, a premier IT outsourcing company.

Get to know your Smart Agency Guest Host: Dr. Jeremy Weisz is the co-founder of Rise25, an agency that helps companies launch and run podcasts profitably. He followed Jason's podcast and eventually joined the mastermind and has been a guest on the podcast before. Today, he's helping Jason bring something new to the Smart Agency podcast audience by interviewing a special guest and getting a new perspective to the show.   From Belly Up to Up and Running: Surviving Failure and Turning it into Opportunity Starting over after failure can be a daunting and challenging task. It requires resilience, determination, and a willingness to learn from past mistakes. However, it can also be an opportunity for growth and success. Shamit's current company is the result of starting over after his initial venture went belly up. Despite the failure, he saw an opportunity to try again with the computers and talented programmers he had left. This gave them the opportunity to explore new possibilities and start building websites and developing software. Shamit's mindset at the time was crucial in his decision to bounce back. He was young and willing to take risks, which allowed him to see failure as a learning experience rather than a setback. He also had confidence in his technological skills, receiving continued inquiries even during the dot com downfall. This indicated there was still a demand for their services, and they could leverage their existing resources to meet that demand. However determined, starting over required a strategic approach. In this sense, Shamit attributes his focus to what he learned during his participation in the MIT program, which provided him with valuable knowledge and insights that he could apply to his business. Of course, it was not easy, but it is possible. Rising from the ashes requires a positive mindset, a willingness to learn from past mistakes, and the ability to adapt and pivot. Finding a New Niche in a Mobile App Development At the time his first company went under, most people would've probably just gotten a job. Instead, Shamit decided to give entrepreneurship another try. His passion for technology played a significant role in his ability to persevere. He firmly believes in his ability to create and build a successful business using his technological skills. This new endeavor started with an offering of simple website and hosting services. With time, they also started developing straightforward software, as well as developing interesting projects with US companies. Slowly but surely his agency started moving between different technology solutions, which led to working in mobile applications. First, an EO mobile application built by Shamit himself, followed by hiring a mobile application developer. To date, the mobile division has grown to a team of 35 people. Advantages of Partnering with Indian Startups Shamit links his ability to think creatively and find solutions where none existed to a unique problem-solving approach known as "Jugaad" in India. For him, Indians are born entrepreneurs in a culture Jugaad refers to finding innovative and unconventional solutions when traditional methods fall short. Many people think of Indian labor as cheap labor and shy away from working with Indian companies. In reality, the Indian value proposition goes beyond affordability. Indian professionals have excellent English language skills, both spoken and written, which sets them apart from other countries and enables effective communication and collaboration with clients from around the world. Indian companies are hugely successful in mobile development, thanks in part to the availability of talent. With a population of over a billion people, Shamit estimates India has at least a million great engineers. This immense talent pool allows Indian companies to scale their operations and take on large-scale projects. Other than that, the biggest downside for their competitive stance versus other countries like Mexico is the time zone. For Shamit, this doesn't necessarily make things more complicated, considering the overlap between Indian and East Coast times at one point of the day and West Coast at the end of the day. This is enough of a window to have efficient communication with customers, deliver on a project, and achieve their goals. Retaining Top Talent in a Fast-Growing, Competitive Industry Recruiting and retaining top talent is a critical aspect of any successful business, and it is especially challenging in the fast-growing mobile development industry in India. Building a reputable brand and establishing trust with employees and clients is essential for attracting and retaining top talent. In his case, Shamit knew he needed to improve the agency's hiring process, which they did after participating in a program at MIT that focused on top grading. This program introduced a more objective and process-oriented approach to recruitment, reducing subjectivity in the hiring process. Another positive influence in improving their process has been studying the best practices in the industry and other verticals. However, when it comes to retention, Shamit admits it's been a tricky and challenging aspect. The IT industry is still in turmoil post Covid and what worked in the past seems to have no effect now, which meant it was time to get creative. At his agency, they offer loyalty leaves and loyalty bonuses, providing employees with additional time off based on their years of service. They also incentivize employees to take paid holidays and provide incentives for significant life events such as anniversaries, birthdays, and the birth of a child. These initiatives have proven successful in retaining employees and creating a positive work environment. They've also moved to using new tools like ChatGPT for copywriting and being overall less people-dependent. Proactive Systems, Outsourced Non-Essentials & Other Keys to Effective Leadership Shamit credits peers for leadership lessons that enabled growth. Chief among them - continuously evaluating processes, systems, and technology. Every 5 years as they expand, he reviews which processes must evolve. It was this proactivity that ensured a smooth remote transition during the pandemic. He also delegates non-core tasks through outsourcing. Why let yourself get distracted on these tasks when focus fuels success? External partners handle catering and other tangential activities. This liberates resources to deliver mobile mastery. And fun fosters engagement. Annual retreats including families strengthen bonds and morale. At work or play, Shamit's priority is a supportive culture. The whole person thrives when work has meaning and teammates feel like family. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Recorded at this week's Crexendo's NetSapiens Platform User Group Meeting, Korn provides a brief update on the company's rising footprint in the space. With 3.5 million users, and the third largest platform, Crexendo has been making incursions into the previously dominant players in the space. “You can call me,” says Korn, offering a hands-on, personal approach to licensee and customer care. In an era when it's often difficult to get basic direct support from some vendors, Korn pledges to be available when needed, noting that this is part of a larger approach to offer personal attention in an environment where some of the competing platforms, in Korn's view, have made things more challenging for their respective partners. Crexendo CEO offers hands on leadership “They tell us what they need, and we listen.” Korn points to the new API 2.0 which enables partners to better build customized solutions to their customer's needs, or as Korn says, “…put their own touches to the platform.” The development of 2.0 was in direct response to requests from partners, which Korn and his team heard, and then directed resources to build,  in order to meet that specific demand. We learn about the event's Codefest, where attendees can both teach and learn from each other, an approach that Korn believes helps deliver better outcomes at the customer level. “We're a service-oriented company.” Visit www.crexendo.com Crexendo News Crexendo CEO offers hands on leadership : podcast below

Let's meet 7 Brew, one of the fastest-growing chains in the country. This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” features John Davidson, CEO of the rapidly growing drive-thru coffee chain. If you haven't been to a 7 Brew, just wait: One will probably show up near your house sometime soon. The company's unit count nearly tripled last year—enough to make the brand No. 3 on the Restaurant Business Future 50 ranking. It has grown even faster this year.   But anybody who listens to this podcast probably knows that such fast growth comes with serious risks, and we talk with Davidson about how the brand set itself up for growth and how it's been able to grow that quickly.

And we talk about the chain's expansion into smaller markets. We also talk extensively about training and operations. And why Davidson wants 7 Brew to be “the Dollar General of coffee,” and what that means. We're talking 7 Brew on A Deeper Dive so please have a listen.

Do you want to create a more successful law firm, where you are able to take home more money? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, speaker Brooke Lively shares her personal experience of firing her biggest client and the resulting financial struggles for her business. Starting from scratch and building a successful business is a hard thing to achieve. Brooke talks about using the rule of thirds strategy to make her company a profitable one. The strategy involves the following: allocating a third of your revenue to paying salaries, a third to overhead and a third to profit. 1 | SalariesWhen it comes to paying employees, it is best to design compensation packages that work for your firm. Accountability within a law firm is so important. It moves work through a firm and can be used to dictate pay. One way to hold people accountable is helping them to create goals. Discussing goals will help employees understand what they want to accomplish. As an owner of a law firm, it is important to dedicate time with each employee on a weekly basis to speak through goals so that everyone is on track. 2 | Overhead A lot of firms spend way too much money on marketing. Brooke speaks to how cutting the marketing budget is a great way to save money. One way to do this is to analyze the return on investment on all marketing channels for a firm each month. Whichever is the lowest that month is cut, which can save tens of thousands of dollars. Another way to save money is to review the monthly credit card bill to see what expenses have been neglected and therefore removed.3 | Profit As a firm owner, there are many things you can do for your profit. One thing is to monitor it every month, tracking the increase or decrease of profit. Another thing is to figure out your salary, distributions and personal finances monthly to make sure you are not only making what you deserve but are paying off your expenses.Listen in to learn how to make your law firm more profitable!2:58 The rule of thirds6:27 The importance of accountability in law firms.10:51 Your digital marketing budget11:35 Exploration of the expenses and benefits of coaching16:28 The importance of properly compensating law firm owners.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota in Duluth recently unveiled a new kind of tree after 20 years of research. The “InnovaTree” is a cottonwood-poplar hybrid that can grow up to eight feet per year, which is remarkably fast for a tree. That means it could be taller than a two-story house in just a few years. The scientists behind the new tree see it as a possible quick solution to getting shade in residential areas and removing toxins from soil. Jeff Jackson is a University of Minnesota extension educator who has been working on the new tree. He joined Minnesota Now to talk about how the new “InnovaTree” could shape the future.

Two years ago, Sajjad Shah entered the Indianapolis coffee shop market with his eyes wide open and a hook that could help differentiate his locations from the herd of java joints. His coffee shops would have a built-in audience through a very popular Instagram account that he founded in 2014, and they would be tied to the account's overarching mission: promoting the Muslim community and raising millions of dollars for Muslims in crisis around the world. Indeed, the name of the Instagram account is Muslims Of The World, and it currently has about 680,000 followers. The coffee shops are called MOTW Coffee and Pastries. In just two years, Shah has gone from one shop to four, located in Carmel, Fishers, Castleton and on West 38th Street in the International Marketplace District in Indianapolis. In this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast, Shah reveals that he's planning an aggressive expansion outside of central Indiana, starting with a 3,000-square-foot shop expected to open within a few months in the Chicagoland area. He also tells host Mason King that within five years he hopes to have 40 to 50 MOTW shops in the U.S.—a mix of company-owned and franchised locations. Shah didn't have a lot of experience with coffee when he got started, but he did have many years in corporate accounting and consulting, and he thinks he's landed on a formula for lean and mean coffee shops that's easily repeatable. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.
