Apply for the Japan Leadership Experience here:https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/What if the reason leading your organization's transformation feels heavy isn't the work itself—but the role you've been playing as a change leader?If you're a change leader, continuous improvement professional, or internal consultant, this tension may feel familiar. You're helping. You're busy. You're delivering results. And before you realize it, you're wearing every hat—facilitator, teacher, problem-solver, checker—all at once.That was my experience too as an internal change leader. And it's a pattern I see again and again in my work with internal change leaders and continuous improvement practitioners: when we're not clear on our role, we become the doers of transformation—when our real work is to enable others to lead it.In this episode of Chain of Learning, I'm joined by Jill Forrester, Director of Continuous Improvement at 3sHealth, to explore the leadership shift that changed how she and her team show up—and the impact they're having—by moving from helping to intentionally creating the conditions for learning and ownership.If you've ever felt the weight of carrying organizational transformation on your shoulders, this conversation will help you see why—and how redefining your role and how you help can change everything.You'll LearnWhy internal change leaders often become the default doers—and why that role isn't sustainableHow lack of role clarity creates confusion, overburden, and dependency for leaders and their internal clientsWhat it really means to create the experience for learning, not just drive improvement outcomesWhy clarifying and labeling your role and intention changes how others engageHow shifting from doing to enabling builds capability, ownership, and sustainable transformationABOUT MY GUEST:Jill Forrester has been a leader in health system transformation since 2012. She has collaboratively guided the development of a comprehensive management system at 3sHealth, encompassing patient and customer engagement, problem-solving and process redesign, strategic visioning and deployment, performance measurement, leadership coaching and development, and employee engagement.

Growth targets keep climbing while cost lines tighten, and planning season starts to feel very personal for CMOs. AI threads through every conversation, zero-based thinking pulls against last year's baseline, and the goalposts never seem to hold still.  So the job becomes building a budget you can walk into the room with, own, and defend with conviction. To get there, Drew brings together Andrew Cox (Forrester), Lisa Cole (2X), and Alan Gonsenhauser (Demand Revenue). The conversation centers on tying spend to strategy, translating marketing into CFO-ready terms, and giving AI a role in the plan that the numbers can support. In this episode:  Andrew shares Forrester's view on moving past "last year plus X," building budgets around corporate objectives and campaigns, and forcing prioritization.  Lisa applies a zero-based mindset to business priorities, uses a 70-20-10 program mix for core, flex, and test, and frames marketing as an ATM of Audience, Trust, and Monetization.  Alan outlines the signals of strong and weak budgets, tying the majority of spend to growth campaigns and long-term value plans, and maintaining a year-round working relationship with the CFO. Plus:  Keeping tech spend in check, including guidelines for MarTech mix and contract flexibility  Positioning brand and PR in financial terms like pipeline influence, win rates, and pricing power  Responding to AI efficiency pressure by fixing workflows first and framing value in utilization, speed, and scalability  Why the budget should be the numerical expression of strategy, not a defense of legacy spend If you want to walk into your next budget review with a clear story, solid numbers, and conviction, this conversation will help you get there.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open the first episode of 2026 with a clear-eyed look at the retail news shaping the year ahead. Holiday sales landed largely as expected. Online sales grew faster, but at a decelerating pace, reinforcing the continued centrality of stores—particularly as click-and-collect represented a meaningful share of holiday fulfillment. The hosts also dig into sector-level performance, noting continued softness in big-ticket home categories alongside strength in apparel, beauty, and sporting goods.Attention then turns to structural stress in retail. The looming Chapter 11 filing of Saks Global underscores the limits of debt-heavy consolidation strategies and the difficulty of rationalizing oversized store portfolios. Steve outlines why store closures, vendor confidence, and new leadership will be critical to any successful reorganization. The news segment closes with a sobering look at U.S. job growth, which has slowed sharply, particularly in retail and manufacturing. While unemployment remains low, constrained labor supply and weak hiring momentum raise important questions for 2026.From there, the episode shifts to a wide-ranging discussion with The Analysts, this time featuring Simeon Siegel, Senior Managing Director at Guggenheim Partners, and Sucharita Kodali, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester. Reflecting on 2025, both describe a year marked by cognitive dissonance: record retail spending alongside low consumer confidence and wildly uneven outcomes. Rather than a simple “K-shaped” economy, Simeon argues that execution matters most, pointing to stark performance differences between retailers selling similar products to similar customers.The Analysts explore where market share is truly shifting, why off-price and value leaders continue to gain ground, and how e-commerce growth is normalizing as the channel matures. Sucharita explains why physical retail remains resilient in the U.S., while Simeon adds that rising friction—fees, returns, and fulfillment costs—has dulled some of e-commerce's original advantages. The conversation also tackles tariffs, AI, and technology hype. The episode concludes with Steve and Michael's perspectives on Amazon's surprising new physical retail stores plans and a possibly big Supreme Court ruling on tariff policy.

The Evolution of Tort Law: From Contributory Negligence to Comparative JusticeThis conversation delves into the complexities of tort law, focusing on the evolution of defenses and liabilities. It begins with an overview of torts, emphasizing the importance of understanding defenses in legal education. The discussion transitions from historical concepts like contributory negligence to modern approaches such as comparative negligence, highlighting key doctrines like assumption of risk and various immunities. The conversation also covers vicarious liability and joint and several liability, providing a comprehensive framework for analyzing tort cases.In the realm of tort law, the journey from rigid, all-or-nothing rules to more nuanced standards of justice is a fascinating one. Historically, the doctrine of contributory negligence was unforgiving. Imagine being 1% at fault in an accident and receiving nothing in damages because of it. This harsh rule left many plaintiffs without recourse, prompting a shift towards fairness.The introduction of comparative negligence marked a pivotal change. This system allows for damages to be apportioned based on the relative fault of each party, ensuring that even those partially at fault can receive compensation. The transition wasn't swift; it evolved over decades, influenced by landmark cases and legislative changes.One of the most illustrative cases is Butterfield v. Forrester, where the court's decision highlighted the severe implications of contributory negligence. However, the doctrine of last clear chance emerged as a counterbalance, allowing plaintiffs to recover if the defendant had the final opportunity to avoid the harm.Today, the majority of jurisdictions have adopted some form of comparative negligence, with variations like the 50% and 49% rules, which determine the threshold for recovery. This evolution reflects a broader trend in the legal system towards balancing fairness with the need for clear, predictable rules.As we continue to navigate these legal waters, the challenge remains: how do we ensure justice while maintaining the integrity of the legal system? This question is at the heart of tort law's ongoing evolution.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in legal education and insights.TakeawaysThe entire ball game often hinges on surviving the defenses.Contributory negligence operated as a complete bar to recovery.The last clear chance doctrine allows recovery despite plaintiff's negligence.Comparative negligence apportions damages based on relative fault.Immunities are shields that protect certain defendants from liability.Vicarious liability holds employers responsible for employees' actions.Joint and several liability allows plaintiffs to recover full damages from any defendant.The discretionary function exception protects government actions from liability.Assumption of risk can be primary or secondary, affecting recovery.The evolution of tort law reflects a shift towards more flexible standards.torts, contributory negligence, comparative negligence, assumption of risk, sovereign immunity, vicarious liability, tort law defenses, legal education, law students, liability

Analyst firm Forrester has projected that AI-native cloud solutions could generate $20 billion in revenue by 2026, significantly reshaping enterprise IT operations. However, the transition to these solutions raises concerns about governance gaps that could lead to outages. Organizations are increasingly redesigning their systems across various sectors, including education and infrastructure financing, to manage the risks associated with AI. This shift is underscored by a recent Gallup poll indicating that 45% of U.S. employees are using AI at work, reflecting a growing reliance on AI tools for operational efficiency.The term "SLOP" has been designated as Merriam-Webster's 2025 Word of the Year, highlighting the cultural implications of AI's integration into daily communication. This term encapsulates the challenges of quality control in AI outputs, as the rapid scaling of AI tools often outpaces human judgment. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are urged to focus on helping clients discern which AI outputs are reliable and which require scrutiny, emphasizing the need for quality control over mere automation.In the education sector, a notable trend is the adoption of oral exams to assess student learning, ensuring evaluations reflect genuine understanding rather than reliance on AI-generated content. Additionally, major tech companies like Microsoft and Google are adopting innovative financing strategies, such as short-term leasing agreements for computing power, to mitigate financial risks associated with AI infrastructure investments. These strategies allow companies to scale their AI capabilities while maintaining flexibility in their financial commitments.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the evolving landscape of AI presents both challenges and opportunities. The emphasis on governance and quality control in AI tools indicates a shift in how organizations will approach AI adoption, necessitating new validation steps and risk models. MSPs can leverage this moment by providing guidance on AI evaluation and compliance, ensuring that clients can navigate the complexities of AI integration while minimizing potential liabilities. Four things to know today 00:00 AI Adoption Surges as Forrester, Gallup, and Merriam-Webster Signal a Quality Problem04:40 -Education and Big Tech Respond to AI by Reworking Assessment and Risk Models07:13 OMB Uses Procurement Power to Set Federal Standards for Truthful, Unbiased AI Tools09:11 Disney Sets AI Rules:  This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes:1. Why Did John Doubt?John is imprisoned after confronting Herod.From prison he hears Jesus' ministry reports.Jesus is not matching his expectations:John expected judgment (axe, winnowing fork).Jesus is healing, teaching mercy, loving enemies.Doubt often grows when God doesn't meet our expectations.We risk:Disbelief (walking away), orIdolatry (reshaping God into our image).2. What Did John Do With His Doubt?He brought his question directly to Jesus.The Psalms model honest questioning (“How long, Lord?”).Honest questions brought to God are themselves an act of faith.We bring our doubts to:Prayer,Scripture,Community (church, classes, Alpha).3. How Did Jesus Respond?Jesus doesn't condemn John.He points to evidence: “What you see and hear”—lives changed, people healed, good news preached.He points John back to Scripture (Isaiah).Jesus gently corrects John's expectations and strengthens his faith.God often strengthens us by showing us His work in others' lives.ConclusionThe final answer to our doubt is not an argument—but a person: Jesus.Discussion Questions:1. Is it surprising to you that great saints sometimes experience great doubt and discouragement?2. Can you think of a time when God didn't meet your expectations?3. Why is bringing our doubts to God itself an act of faith?4. What are the two things Jesus does in response to John's question? How might those also help us in times of doubt or discouragement?5. Do our doubts separate us from Jesus?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

The managed service provider (MSP) market is projected to grow significantly, with a valuation increase from $337.6 billion in 2024 to $406.74 billion in 2025, driven by the complexity of modern IT infrastructures and rising cybersecurity threats. However, small businesses in the United States are facing severe challenges, shedding jobs at pandemic-level rates, with a net loss of 120,000 jobs reported in November 2025. This trend highlights a growing divide between small and large enterprises, as larger firms adapt more effectively to economic pressures, while small businesses struggle to maintain stability and are increasingly cautious about spending on new initiatives.The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the labor market is becoming more pronounced, with a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicating that AI could replace 11.7% of the U.S. workforce, equating to approximately $1.2 trillion in wages. As companies begin to manage digital employees alongside human workers, the need for effective governance and accountability frameworks becomes critical. Forrester predicts that by 2026, businesses will increasingly integrate AI into their workforce strategies, necessitating a shift in how leadership orchestrates workflows and manages costs.Windows 11 adoption has stalled, with its market share at 53.7% as of November 2025, indicating a growing indifference among consumers and businesses towards operating systems. This trend suggests that the value proposition for MSPs must evolve beyond device management and OS-level work, focusing instead on higher-level services such as identity management, application governance, and automation. As the market shifts, MSPs must adapt to provide solutions that drive business outcomes rather than relying on traditional refresh cycles and OS migrations.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the current landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. The need for clarity in navigating AI complexities and the integration of digital agents into workflows is paramount. Providers that can assist customers in managing these transitions and focus on outcomes rather than tools will position themselves as strategic partners. The future of the MSP market will depend on the ability to evolve and meet the demands of a changing workforce, ensuring that they remain relevant in an increasingly automated environment. Four things to know today 00:00 Small businesses are losing jobs, midmarket firms are reorganizing with AI — and MSPs must shift how they deliver value06:52 The MSP Market Is Growing Fast — but the real opportunity is helping customers manage AI, not devices10:07 Windows 11 Slowdown Shows Customers Don't Care About OS Upgrades — and MSP Value Lives Higher Up the Stack12:08 Slowing ChatGPT Growth and Rising Gemini Use Signal AI Models Becoming Commodities for Business Users This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorshiphttps://scalepad.com/dave/

Ed Arnold, founder and managing partner at The Valorizer, brings decades of hands-on experience building customer value models, teaching value conversations, and guiding companies toward value-based pricing. After working directly with Tom Nagle at Monitor Group and leading value initiatives at LeveragePoint, Forrester, and Ibbaka, Ed has become one of the most respected practitioners of Economic Value Estimation (EVE) in B2B. In this episode, Ed and Mark dive deep into what "value" actually means, why B2B buyers define it differently than sellers, and how to quantify economic outcomes in a way that withstands scrutiny. They debate value vs. willingness to pay, unpack why value stories outperform case studies, and explore how real conversations—not spreadsheets—unlock premium pricing.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Episode: Master the real meaning of "value" in B2B—and why most companies still get it wrong. Discover how to run a value conversation that reveals economic impact and customer priorities. Learn how to turn EVE models into persuasive value stories your buyers can resell internally.   "You need to quantify the value of the product you're selling—and you need to talk to customers about that to understand it and write their value story."  — Ed Arnold   Topics Covered: 05:09 – Value Perception in B2B: Why Customers Decide with Both Logic and Emotion 08:34 – Value vs. Willingness to Pay: The Debate Begins 12:06 – Why Willingness to Pay Is Not Value (And What It Actually Measures) 19:04 – Value Perception in B2B Sales: Influence, Trust, and Risk 20:41 – Value Is Always Relative (And Why Alternative Choices Change Everything) 24:26 – Value-Based vs. Competitor Pricing: Why They Aren't the Same Thing 28:03 – Value Story vs. Case Study: What Buyers Actually Need to Make Decisions 32:47– Quantifying Product Value: How to Build a Story Buyers Can Take to Their Executives   Key Takeaways: "Value comes from use, not purchase." — Ed Arnold "Willingness to pay is not value, if it were, we'd never talk about leaving money on the table." — Ed Arnold "In B2B, value is 80% logic, 20% emotion." — Ed Arnold "A value story is customized.

Worship Is HistoricalExodus 15:1 — Israel sings about God's real rescue at the Red Sea.Christian worship responds to God's real acts—especially the Cross and Resurrection.Without real saving events, worship has no foundation.2. Worship Is PersonalExodus 15:2 — “The LORD is my strength… my salvation.”Salvation must be personally received.Personal worship fuels corporate worship.In seasons of grief or shame, others can “hold” our worship for us.3. Worship Is DeclarativeExodus 15:11 — declaring who God is: holy, majestic, powerful.Declaring truth reorients our hearts, deepens our joy, and functions as spiritual warfare (2 Chronicles 20).4. Worship Is BeautifulExodus 15 is a song—with poetry, rhythm, and movement.God uses beauty, music, and art to reach deep places in us.Worship leaders help communicate God's beauty, not perform.ConclusionWorship is historical, personal, declarative, and beautiful.Worship steadies us when life spins around us.It trains us for our eternal vocation: worshiping the Lord in Spirit and truth.Discussion Questions:If you don't believe all the stories in the Bible, can you still worship God?Is quiet meditation or practicing mindfulness a form of worship? Why or why not?Does it matter that we worship corporately? Is private personal worship just as good?Can we still worship if we feel spiritually dry? What is the place of the emotions in worship?Can you share about a time when "personal pain robbed your perspective but worship restored it"?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Episode 24 is a little love letter. A rewind. A reflection. A journey through the tracks that built the sound of Jagged Jungle from the very beginning. This week, I pulled together all my favourite songs that shaped this show, the ones I've played on long drives, airport runs, and those quiet moments where music hits deeper than usual. We're going from the OG tropical era with Faul & Wad's Changes all the way to their brand-new release Everybody, plus emotional cuts from aname, Oskar med K, Forrester, LP Giobbi, Jerro, Nora En Pure and more… including my own track Come With Me to close it out. If you've been with Jagged Jungle from day one or you've just joined the family, this one is for you. It's nostalgic, melodic, euphoric… and honestly, it feels like a warm hug. Press play and escape with me.

This week the boys talk about countries trying to get a leg up in the world via food, Nestle pulling a Psy Op in Japan, and how the fancy high dollar whiskey folk make it work!  CoreyRyanForrester.com TraeCrowder.com  Sponsors:  __________________________________ Bluechew.com Promo Code POA  Soul.com Promo Code POA   livemomentous.com promo code POA  Ridge.com        Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE_luEVRgClC6dPceGVEZeg/join

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Exodus 12:43-51, 13:3-16. Luke 22:14-23, 1 Cor 5:6-8.Sermon Notes:Introduction – Moving Forward by Looking BackIllustration: The Boys in the Boat — rowers face backward to move forward.God calls Israel to move forward from Egypt—but commands them to look back through Passover.In the same way, Jesus sends us forward in mission—but sustains us by remembering Him through Communion.Key Idea: We move forward in faith by looking back to God's saving work.I. Tactile TeachingGod teaches not just through words but through embodied practices.Sacrament: Outward sign of inward grace. Passover: Eating the lamb — tangible memory of deliverance.Communion: Bread and wine — tangible grace of Christ.Exodus 12:26–27 – Children ask, “What does this mean?”Learning by participation.Application: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)Simple signs, profound grace.II. Out with the OldFeast of Unleavened Bread—removing leaven as a symbol of leaving Egypt behind.God not only removes His people from Egypt but Egypt from His people.1 Corinthians 5:6–8 – “Cleanse out the old leaven… for Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed.”Application: Confession before Communion clears away the “old leaven” of sin. Communion humbles, not shames; we come needy and receptive to grace.III. Assurance of Forgiveness and LovePassover: Blood of the lamb caused God's judgment to pass over His people.Communion: Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, takes judgment on Himself.“This is my body, given for you.”Application:Communion assures us tangibly that God's love and forgiveness are real.“As real as this bread and wine are, so real is God's love for you.”Moving Forward by RememberingThe life of faith always moves forward—but draws strength from looking back.Personally: Remember God's past faithfulness as fuel for trust.As a Church: In transition, look back with gratitude, not nostalgia.The Cross stands as our enduring sign of God's faithfulness.Discussion Questions:Share about your experience with Communion.  Did you grow up taking Communion regularly? How do you currently experience grace through it?Compare and contrast the act of celebrating a birthday or anniversary with Communion.  What are the similarities? What are the differences?Why is confession important before Communion? Do you practice personal confession?If you feel guilty over some sin, should you not take Communion that week? Why or why not? What are some reasons to refrain from taking Communion?Do you ever struggle to believe God loves you or forgives you?  How might taking Communion help you?Extra ResourcesCheck out Sam Fornecker's Ridley Course - Jesus and the Jewish FeastsQuestions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes:I. The Fairness of God's JudgmentA. Our concern for fairnessWe instinctively ask: “Do they deserve judgment?”Judgment must be fair, just, and true.B. Pharaoh and Egypt's guiltPharaoh's policy: murder of Hebrew boys (Exodus 1).Enslavement and oppression of Israel.God's response: “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7 ESV)The death of the firstborn = not random, but reaping what was sown.C. The hardening of Pharaoh's heartSometimes Pharaoh hardens his own heart; other times God does.Pharaoh's rebellion becomes irreversible — God confirms his self-chosen path.God's judgment is never arbitrary, always morally deserved.II. The Realms of God's JudgmentA. Judgment in both visible and spiritual realmsExodus 12:12 — God executes judgment “on all the gods of Egypt.”Not only Pharaoh and Egypt, but their false gods are judged.B. The spiritual dimensionEach plague confronts an Egyptian deity (e.g., darkness = judgment on Re, the sun god).Ephesians 6:12 — our struggle is not just “against flesh and blood.”C. Implications for usConflict perspective: our true enemy is spiritual, not human.Ultimate justice: final judgment must also occur in the spiritual realm — and that belongs to God alone.Christ's victory:The cross = God's judgment on “principalities and powers.”Revelation 20 — final judgment, evil cast down forever.III. Protection from God's JudgmentA. The universality of judgmentBoth Egyptians and Israelites were under threat.Only protection: homes marked with the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:13).Not ethnicity, morality, or family — but faith in God's provision.B. The necessity of faith and obedienceBelief must lead to action.They didn't discuss the lamb's symbolism — they applied the blood.C. The principle of substitutionThe lamb dies in place of the firstborn.“One life for another.”God's mercy through a substitute.D. Fulfillment in Jesus ChristJohn 1:29 — “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”Jesus = true Passover Lamb — spotless, no broken bones (John 19:31-33), slain for sinners.His blood is the believer's protection from judgment.God's justice is satisfied; His mercy extended.Conclusion: The Cross Is Our PassoverGod is both Judge and Savior.To our sins he says: “this kind of offense cannot be tolerated in my Kingdom.”Yet God Himself provides the way — through the blood of His Son.At the Cross, justice is satisfied, grace is extended.Because of the Lamb, God's judgment passes over us forever.Discussion Questions:Does a God who judges evil make you uncomfortable? Why or why not?In what ways does it help us to understand that God executes judgment in the spiritual realm?What is the difference between making moral judgments and being "judgmental"? How does the idea of humanity being universally under God's judgment eliminate judgmentalism?How does the Cross of Christ bring together God's judgment and grace?Should we fear God's judgment - why or why not?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

According to research from Forrester, 70% of marketing content goes unused. So how can you effectively structure and govern your content to unlock its value and drive measurable business results? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Chanique James, marketing lead generation and enablement specialist at MSCI. Thank you so much for joining us, Chanique. To kick us off, I’d love if you could just start by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Chanique James: Sure. Thank you so much for having me. I’m excited to be here. I have several years of experience in brand and product marketing, focusing on promotions, trade marketing, and event management, as well as sales enablement. Over the years I’ve managed from product marketing initiatives across both B2B and B2C environments, developing integrated strategies that connect creativity, storytelling with measurable business outcomes. I’ve always been passionate about connecting strategy with people and finding the balance between creativity, data, and impact. That perspective has shaped how I approach marketing and enablement today. In my current role, I focus on marketing, lead generation and enablement. Ensuring or grow to market teams have access to the right content at the right time, along with insights and tools to engage clients effectively. I see my work as connecting digital strategy with operational excellence, bringing clarity, consistency and impact to how marketing and sales collaboration. RR: Amazing. Well, from that background, it seems like there’s a lot of ground we could cover here. A lot of experience across a lot of different arenas that I’d love to dig into. So let’s just start with maybe a bit of background on kind of the environment that you’re working in. So I know that MSCI provides a pretty broad range of services to the global investment community. So what are some of the unique challenges that your go-to market teams face when activating at scale across global regions? And then to your point, how does digital enablement help address them in global environment? CJ: I believe that scale introduces complexity from different regulatory environments to language nuances and varying buyer expectations. Go to market teams face similar challenges across regions. They have to balance consistency, compliance, and connectivity. Ensuring that messaging feels unified, yet relevant in diverse markets. Managing that balance requires both structure and flexibility, and that’s where digital enablement comes in. By centralizing content, data and workflows, digital enablement gives team visibility into what’s working and empowers them to adapt quickly. These tools make it possible to deliver localized content and timely materials to client facing teams around the world, helping them navigate campaigns efficiently as well as, I would say more confidently. RR: Amazing. It sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate, so I’m excited to dig into kind of the strategies for approaching those obstacles and those challenges of scale beyond kind of some of the unique obstacles that you encounter as a global organization, as a financial services organization, I’d like to focus on some that pretty much every organization is gonna face, which is the disconnect across the go to market organization. So as a marketing leader. What go-to-market initiatives are you focused on to better align your marketing and your sales teams? CJ: For me, I would say alignment starts with visibility and connection. It’s really about making sure marketing and sales teams are working from the same playbook as well as working together so that content, messaging and data tell one cohesive story. That alignment creates focus and efficiency. It means simplifying access to marketing and enablement tools, making insights actionable, and keeping collaboration front and center with both sides. That is marketing and sales are connected around shared goals and clear communication. Everything else from productivity to performance naturally improves. RR: Absolutely. And I think one of those key levers that you can pull on is the content that you’re sharing across. When it’s well managed and well socialized, you unlock really strong cross-functional collaboration when it’s not, we know the consequences in your work. One of those key focuses is content management. So from your experience, what are some of the common pitfalls that financial services organizations like yours might face when developing and managing content, and then how can maybe they avoid them? CJ: I would say possibly a big, or the biggest challenge that we have is fragmentation content often live in silos owned by different teams, sometimes with different goals that can lead to duplication, outdated materials, or even inconsistencies in messaging and compliance. Key, however, is strong governance and collaboration, establishing clear processes around how content is created, reviewed, distributed, and even maintaining open feedback loop across marketing, compliance, and sales can actually help us ensure that every piece of content is purposeful, consistent, and UpToDate in addition. I believe that when organizations take that structured approach, they move from managing content reactively to managing more strategically, and this can actually turn into a real advantage for the business. RR: Can you talk to me a little bit about like the value of that strategic approach as opposed to a like reactive approach? CJ: So I ultimately believe that in terms of content management, you really need to think strategically, how are teams accessing it? How are they using it, and also is it relevant for your market? I believe that one of the key things that we can do is always leverage the data. Enablement tools allow us to get a lot of insights not just into client engagement with content, but also how our sales team are actually using it. When we actually leverage that data, that helps us to drive strategy and that strategy actually helps us improve over time. The content that we continuously create and the content that we also continuously share with our clients. And I think that’s a big portion. That’s a big part of actually making sure that we’re not just reacting to things, not be being used well, but also strategically ensuring that moving forward when we see certain metrics, we use that to create better content, to have better client relationships and conversations for our sales team. RR: Yeah, I think that’s such a great perspective. I think sometimes as marketers, you get really caught up in like what you’re excited to create, and sometimes you have to take that step back and go, what is actually useful? What are our reps like, what are our clients like? And how can I lean into that? So I, I love that you’re taking that approach. Um, and I know good governance and good content creation strategies can be really, really crucial, but they can also be really difficult to maintain. So I’d like to talk a little bit, maybe about. The impact of taking the time to focus in on that. So what do you see as the value of having compliant up-to-date content and how does that enable reps to succeed in the field? CJ: Sure. I believe that having quality and compliant content is very essential, and also having enablement platforms actually serve as a great deal in terms of ensuring that the content is easy for sales reps to access. Enablement platforms are transformative because they turn content from status assets into living resources. They centralized content distribution, enforce compliance, and provide clear insights into engagement and performance. For financial organizations where accuracy and timing are everything, this gives our sales team confidence that what they’re sharing with clients have been approved and is also relevant. So I would say that it’s not just about access, it’s really about assurance, agility, and trust. RR: I think that that last call out is so key because it’s ultimately just about trust, right? Your reps need to know that your content is reliable and aligned to their needs. Your business needs to know that you’re compliant and aren’t gonna create unnecessary risk that nobody wants to deal with. If you can prove that and build that brand of trust. You’re set. And maybe that’s kind of how you’ve achieved such a high recurring usage rate in Highspot. So can you walk me through, in addition to some of the governance pieces that we’ve been talking about, but what best practices have been effective in helping you drive strong adoption? CJ: Adoption thrives on relevance and experience. We treat our environment as more than a repository. It’s really a dynamic workspace that grows with our teams. We’re focused on building a clear content structure so users can easily find what they need, and we partner with champions who will help drive awareness, as well as share best practices. We also offer focus training and share success stories with our new users. That highlights real results. In addition, we integrate with platforms such as Salesforce so that the tool actually fits naturally into the workflows of our sales teams. I think that when people see genuine value in how it helps them, it actually allows them to work smarter and adoption really naturally flows from that. RR: I love touching on the ecosystem piece and creating an environment that works for people. ’cause a lot of the time when enablement feels like a mandate or it’s not built with workflows in mind. You don’t see that adoption, so love to hear the best practices that are working for you, but I know that it’s not just adoption that’s going well for you and the team. We’ve heard some really great things about the work that you’re doing, so I’d be really curious to know, since implementing Highspot, what key results have you achieved and are there any particular wins or achievements that you’re super proud of? CJ: I think one of the most exciting things have been our ability to see how our approach has truly transformed the way our team operates. One major impact and achievement has been turning the platform into, as I mentioned before, a strategic activation hub. We’ve streamlined how content is distributed, tracked, measured, which significantly, adoption reads and overall content utilization. So we’ve seen measurable improvements in both time savings as well as content engagement. Our sales teams now have easier access to tailored playbooks, helping them move faster and stay aligned across functions. What I’m most proud of, however, and honestly continuously working on, is how this has strengthened collaboration between our functions such as marketing, sales, and even our product teams. I believe that this has actually helped us to turn our content and digital strategy into a true connector across the business. RR: I think that’s a fantastic achievement to say that, you know, we’ve created a through line across the organization that is now our source of truth and our source of communication. That’s fantastic. So have to commend you and the team for that work. We’ve talked about what the challenges are, how you’re solving them, what you’ve achieved so far, but let’s maybe talk a little bit about the future. So I know that MSCIs tagline is Clarity drives action. Thinking about that philosophy, how does that guide your approach to strategy and your role? And then what outcomes are you looking to drive next? CJ: Clergy drives action resonates deeply with my approach to marketing, digital strategy, and enablement. For me, it’s about simplifying complexity and making information accessible, actionable, and meaningful so that insights can truly drive impact. Looking ahead, I’m focused on advancing data-driven personalization and using insights to deliver more connected high value experiences for both internal teams and clients. The goal is really to keep evolving how we connect strategy to execution, creating clarity, efficiency, and measurable outcomes that help marketing efforts drive stronger engagement and ultimately business growth. RR: Awesome. Can I ask, is there anything in particular with Highspot that you think is going to be helpful in helping you achieve those goals? CJ: Sure. Yeah. I think the data that we’re able to get from Highspot, again, not just the external information in terms of client engagement with our content, but also usage information in terms of how our sales team is actually leveraging the platform. I think that will give us a lot of insights into ensuring that what we’re putting forward on the platform in terms of content, as well as our enablement strategy, that will actually mirror into helping them go to market more efficiently and effectively. So moving forward, I think that. The tool actually plays a key role in how we’re doing that right now. It has helped us in gaining a lot of success, and I think moving forward all we can do is continue to leverage that data and insights to just make more improvements for the future. RR: Fantastic. I love that. It’s just an optimization approach if we’ve created the foundation and now we’re gonna hone in on what works and continue to scale it. I know we’re running a little bit low on the time we have with you, so I’d like to close out with maybe some advice for our audience who are likelier than not in similar shoes to you. So if you had to summarize one key lesson from your experience in content development and management, what would it be? CJ: I think one key thing is that simplicity drives scale. The more intuitive your systems and processes are, the more likely teams are to use them effectively. Great enablement isn’t just about technology. It’s about designing experiences that empower people to do their best work with confidence. At the same time, governance also enables growth. So when structure and simplicity work together, creativity can thrive, and that’s when organizations scale effectively as well as sustainably. At the end of the day, it’s not just about really the tools, it’s also about being able to empower our teams to do great work confidently and consistently. RR: I think that’s wonderful to close on, empowering our teams to do great work. That’s what we are all looking to do, so thank you for all of the best practices to help us get there. It has been a pleasure chatting with you, and I can’t wait to bring all of these insights to our listeners. CJ: Thank you so much for having me. I really enjoy the conversation. RR: To our listeners, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Forrester's latest report indicates that the AI hype wave is reaching its peak, with many enterprises expected to delay a significant portion of their AI spending until 2027 due to challenges in proving return on investment (ROI). As a response to increasing regulatory complexities, 60% of Fortune 100 companies are anticipated to appoint heads of AI governance by next year. This shift highlights a growing focus on compliance and risk management rather than pure innovation. Meanwhile, G2's findings present a contrasting narrative, revealing that nearly 60% of companies have successfully deployed AI agents, with a low failure rate and high satisfaction among users.Despite the positive deployment statistics from G2, a study by Atlassian uncovers a paradox: while individual usage of AI tools has surged, 96% of businesses report no significant improvements in efficiency or innovation. The survey indicates that only 3% of executives believe AI has driven transformational change within their organizations. This disconnect suggests that while AI tools are being adopted widely, their impact on actual business outcomes remains limited, leading to skepticism among decision-makers.Anthropic's recent research raises concerns about the security of large language models, revealing that as few as 250 malicious documents could effectively poison these models, compromising their functionality. This alarming finding underscores the vulnerabilities present in AI systems, particularly those relying on public or partner data. The implications for businesses are significant, as they must now consider the security of their AI systems alongside their operational capabilities.In the hardware arena, Apple and Intel are igniting a new chip race, with Apple launching its M5 chip, which boasts enhanced AI performance and graphics capabilities. Intel's Panther Lake chip is set to compete with improved efficiency and performance metrics. As AI technology becomes increasingly integrated into devices, managed service providers (MSPs) must adapt to the complexities of endpoint management and AI readiness. The evolving landscape emphasizes the need for governance, security, and effective measurement of AI outcomes, positioning MSPs as crucial enablers in this transition.Four things to know today 00:00 Forrester, G2, Atlassian, and Anthropic Paint a Complex AI Picture — Success, Stagnation, and Security Risk06:09 Apple's M5 and Intel's Panther Lake Show the Future: Every Device Becomes an AI Engine09:17 GoTo, Gradient, and LevelBlue Show the Next MSP Evolution — Refinement, Not Reinvention12:21 Microsoft's Final Windows 10 Update and IE Mode Lockdown Signal the End of Legacy Tolerance This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://scalepad.com/dave/

Global spending on cybersecurity products and services will see a strong 14.4% CAGR from 2024 through 2029 and will hit $302.5 billion in 2029, driven by continued concerns around cyberattacks across all verticals and geographies. But where is the spending occuring and how do you prepare? Merritt Maxim, VP & Research Director at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the Global Cybersecurity Market Forecast, 2024 To 2029 report. Merritt will discuss the findings, including: In 2029, 69% of cybersecurity spending will be on software across seven prime functional disciplines of cybersecurity (applications, cloud, data, endpoint, network, identity, and security operations); the remaining spending will be allocated to security services, excluding security outsourcing, implementation, and deployment services; and AI software spending will grow at a CAGR of 21.2%, from $74.3 billion in 2024 to $194.3 billion by 2029.

Marketers' roles are changing, but their goals are still the same: reach and engage customers, meeting them where they are, and for better or worse, often needing to do more with less while delivering greater value. Agility requires both adapting to change quickly while also having the wisdom to know which changes truly matter. It demands a delicate balance between embracing new technologies and staying laser-focused on core business objectives. Today, we are here in New York City at Opticon25. We are going to talk about the growing role of AI for both marketers and consumers, how organizations can leverage an agentic platform to create better internal and external customer experiences, and how marketers can both do more with less while delivering exponentially greater value.
