Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Jennyfer Díaz - Directora General de MotorK España - nos cuenta qué es MotorK y cómo ayuda a los concesionarios de coches. MotorK es una empresa tecnológica especializada en el sector de la automoción que desarrolla soluciones SaaS de última generación para digitalizar las áreas de marketing y ventas de fabricantes, importadores y redes de concesionarios. A través de una plataforma única e integrada, la compañía facilita la gestión de leads, la creación de sitios web, la automatización de campañas, la analítica avanzada y otros procesos clave, con el objetivo de generar más valor para el cliente final y acelerar la transición hacia un modelo de movilidad plenamente conectado y omnicanal. Fundada en 2010, MotorK ha experimentado un crecimiento de dos dígitos de forma ininterrumpida, hasta convertirse en una de las firmas europeas de mayor expansión según el FT 1000. Hoy emplea a casi 500 “ SparKers ” —su denominación interna para los miembros del equipo— y opera en ocho países de la región EMEA, combinando la proximidad local con un enfoque global. La salida a bolsa en Euronext Ámsterdam (Noviembre de 2021) ha reforzado su capacidad de inversión en I+D, donde más de un centenar de especialistas trabajan en inteligencia artificial, big data y microservicios que impulsan la evolución constante de la plataforma. La compañía se asienta sobre tres pilares. En el plano tecnológico, MotorK es “nativamente digital”: integra software propio con las APIs y soluciones de terceros más fiables, actuando como socio integral de los operadores de la movilidad. En cuanto a movilidad, todo el personal —desde dirección hasta puestos operativos— procede del mundo del motor o comparte una profunda pasión por él, lo que le permite hablar el mismo idioma que fabricantes y concesionarios y anticiparse a sus desafíos. Por último, el pilar personas sitúa al talento en el centro: la cultura SparKer combina obsesión por el cliente, innovación, orientación a resultados, ambición y una firme apuesta por la diversidad y el equilibrio entre vida personal y profesional. Esta filosofía se traduce en valores concretos: “Customer Obsessed” (el éxito del cliente es el motor de la empresa), “Forward Thinking” (romper el status quo mediante la innovación), “Result Driven” (ejecución rápida y medible), “Always Ambitious” (audacia y creatividad) y “Empowering Inclusion” (respeto e integridad). Cada proyecto —ya sea la implantación de un CRM, la creación de una tienda online de vehículos o la orquestación de campañas de marketing data-driven— se aborda con estas máximas en mente, garantizando coherencia y calidad en todas las geografías. Con esta combinación de tecnología punta, conocimiento sectorial y talento comprometido, MotorK aspira a consolidarse como el partner tecnológico de referencia para la distribución de la movilidad en Europa y, en el medio plazo, extender su huella a nuevos mercados. Su misión declarada es “construir el futuro de la movilidad” y acompañar a los actores del sector en la creación de experiencias digitales que transformen la relación entre marca y consumidor a lo largo de todo el customer journey.

Donald Trump's attempt earlier this week to freeze all federal aid triggered chaos and confusion. As with many of the president's actions so far, it's unclear whether he even had the executive authority to make such an order. Today, the order was abruptly rescinded. But what does this tell us about Trump's strategy? Democratic Senator from Maryland Chris Van Hollen sits on the Appropriations Committee, and joins Christiane from Washington to discuss.   Also on today's show: Oliver McTernan, Co-Founder and Director, Forward Thinking; Chris Whipple, Author, "The Gatekeepers"   Learn more about your ad choices.

Thanks for listening in on another episode of the Forward Thinking podcast where Sher Downing and Ben Bressington explore the transformative power of AI and automation in business. Together, they dive into the importance of starting automation processes even when they are not perfect, the significance of timely communication, and how to leverage AI for content creation and repurposing. We dig a bit deeper and uncover the need for businesses, especially startups, to define their goals and ROI, and to rethink roles in the age of AI. Ben shares insights on how to automate boring tasks and the potential for AI to enhance productivity and efficiency in various business operations. Takeaways: Start before you feel ready to embrace automation. Automation doesn't have to be perfect; it can evolve over time. A simple landing page can drive significant sales. Focus on results, not aesthetics, for your website. Regularly assess and eliminate unnecessary tasks. AI can redefine roles and responsibilities in businesses. Startups should leverage AI to maximize efficiency. Content repurposing can significantly enhance visibility. Timely communication is crucial for client relationships. AI can help automate tedious tasks, freeing up valuable time.

Tech Advancements Await: Stay ahead by integrating AI and tech solutions to enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency.     In the evolving world of automotive sales, adaptability and foresight are paramount. These insights come to life vividly in a conversation between Dealer Synergy's LA Williams and Kristen Campbell from Motway, highlighting the industry's current dynamics and future directions. As automotive professionals, ranging from salespersons to managers, gear up for 2025, understanding and applying these lessons could define their success. Let's dive into the core themes that emerged in their discussion and explore how they can impact your automotive journey.   Embracing Adaptability in the Automotive Industry Adaptability has long been a cornerstone of success in any business, but in the fast-paced and ever-changing automotive industry, it's non-negotiable. LA Williams sets the tone by emphasizing, "Sometimes you got to get the job done anyway," underscoring the necessity of forging ahead despite imperfect conditions. The conversation with Kristen Campbell, Vice President of Account Services at Motway, also echoes this sentiment. Kristen, with her rich experience in public relations, illustrates how she navigated her career trajectory during challenging economic times. As she notes, the automotive industry demands resilience: "You got to show up every day ready to work, and you got to have that energy." This mindset not only helped her rise to a leadership position but also drives Motway's success in a competitive market. For automotive professionals, embracing adaptability means being open to new strategies, technologies, and market trends. As Motway demonstrated, growth often comes from a willingness to evolve and innovate in response to market demands.   The Power of Transparent Communication Communication remains an integral part of customer relations in the automotive industry. The transcript highlights this importance through Kristen's dedication to ensuring Motway's client interactions are both transparent and trustworthy. She shares, "One of the things that I think I was able to bring to the table was just really the communication piece…ultimately you're an advocate for them, [the customer]." Transparent communication not only builds trust but also fosters long-term partnerships. Kristen reinforced that effective communication can mitigate challenges, such as managing vehicle transportation issues—or as she simply puts it, "We try again to do what would be best for them." For automotive businesses, translating these insights into everyday practice means regularly engaging with customers to understand their needs and expectations. Dealerships should consider adopting a similar strategy to Motway's proactive client service approach, which includes dedicated support lines and personalized communication strategies.   Innovations and the Role of AI in Automotive Solutions As we steer into the future, incorporating advanced technologies like AI can distinguish leading companies from the rest. The dialogue between Williams and Campbell touches on Motway's exploration into AI solutions, particularly in optimizing transportation logistics and pricing strategies. Though Kristen mentions, "I wouldn't say we're there yet," Motway's forward-thinking approach prepares them for future breakthroughs. Artificial intelligence, for many businesses, represents a paradigm shift. It offers unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, accuracy, and personalized customer engagement. In the automotive industry, AI's potential applications are vast—from predicting market trends to personalizing customer experiences through intelligent data analysis. By integrating such technologies, dealerships can enhance their operational efficiencies and customer service offerings. As Kristen notes, features like "lane planning and route mapping" can streamline operations, which can be a game changer for businesses looking to improve service speed and reliability. The automotive industry stands on the precipice of significant transformation. As echoed in the insightful conversation between LA Williams and Kristen Campbell, embracing adaptability, prioritizing transparent communication, and capitalizing on technological advances like AI are essential for staying competitive. Automotive professionals who embody these principles are better poised to navigate upcoming industry shifts successfully. The vehicle to future success in automotive sales involves not just anticipating change but actively driving it.

He reflects on his journey from a physician prioritizing patient care to a CEO recognizing the need to delegate operational tasks and fully embrace his role as a strategic leader. Kunnappilly highlights the balance required at all organizational levels, where operational excellence supports, but does not overshadow, the broader goal of developing forward-thinking strategies. Dr. Kunnappilly highlights the need for a long-term vision and the integration of strategy with daily operations to achieve meaningful improvements in patient care and organizational efficiency. He also discusses the shift from being a provider of last resort to focusing on equity and addressing societal barriers like food insecurity and language access. 

Justin and Carter discuss the injury updates surrounding the Cavs heading into the weekend, and some of their questions about the reintegration of those pieces when fully healthy. Later they are joined by Dave DuFour of The Athletic to discuss his thoughts on the Cavs, where they stand in the East both short and long-term. As well as whether they can beat the Celtics, what work remains during the regular season, and what other teams will be in the mix for the Eastern Conference.

He is the director of the organisation Forward Thinking and was involved in negotiations that led to the release of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.

Given the history of this protracted conflict, does he hold any hope that it will ever be resolved?

From deepfakes to the fear of AI taking jobs, to the social media giants making money from abusive content, our technology dominated world is in a crisis – what are the solutions?AI researcher Kerry McInerney applies a feminist perspective to data, algorithms and intelligent machines. AI-powered tech, and generative AI in particular, pose new challenges for cybersecurity. Kerry proposes a new take on AI, looking at how it can be used on a small scale, acknowledging culture and gender, tailoring the technology for local applications rather than trying to push for global, one size fits all strategies.And in addressing corporate responsibility for Big Tech, Kerry discusses how tackling harassment online requires an understanding of the social, political and psychological dimensions of harassment, particularly of women in the wider world, as opposed to seeing this as a technical problem.Dr Kerry McInerney is a research fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge, and the AI Now Institute.This is the last of four programmes from the Oxford Literary Festival, presented by Nuala McGovern, produced by Julian Siddle.Recorded in front of an audience at Worcester College Oxford.

Could going vegan help feed the world and save the planet? While industry and energy production are often singled out as the main drivers of climate change, the global meat production industry is a bigger polluter. Veganism advocate Gary Francione and nutritionist Dr Ron Weiss join Nuala McGovern to discuss the pros and cons of veganism. While it might make sense from an ethical and climate change perspective, it is a massive cultural leap for many. We ask whether veganism could really be useful in places where food might not be readily available. And answer concerns over whether a non-meat diet can provide adequate nutrition.

In 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered a previously unknown kind of star, the Pulsar. A Nobel prize followed, but not for Jocelyn; her male boss took the honour. Jocelyn has never been bitter about the award, but says that today things should have moved much further than they have. More women are working in space research, but is it enough? In conversation with Nuala McGovern, she argues that different perspectives are essential for moving the science forward. One of these is a more global, inclusive vision to exploring the cosmos. India and China have prestigious space programmes, and the low-key space missions of Japan and South Africa collaborate with international partners from around the world. We discuss how global enthusiasm for space research can be used to propel change. Jocelyn Bell Burnell is professor of astrophysics at the University of Oxford.This is the second of a series of four programmes from the Oxford Literary Festival, presented by Nuala McGovern, produced by Julian Siddle.Recorded in front of an audience at Worcester College Oxford.

The Nobel prize winning scientist Venki Ramakrishnan considers both why we might live longer and also the dilemmas this raises. In the last few years medical advance had led to treatments that really do offer the potential to tackle life threatening cancers and debilitating diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. In discussion with Nuala McGovern, Venki also explores the questions such treatments raise. Initially they will be expensive, we already have a global society in which there is a direct link between life expectancy and affluence, will access to these treatments or lack of it, increase that disparity? And although your incurable disease may now be cured, what about the rest of your quality of life? Can the planet support an increasingly needy older and older generation? Does trying to live longer become a selfish act? Nobel prize-winning molecular biologist Venki Ramakrishnan heads a research group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. This is the first in a series of four programmes from the Oxford Literary Festival, Presented by Nuala McGovern and produced by Julian Siddle. Recorded in front of an audience at Worcester College Oxford.
