On episode 250 of EHS On Tap, Tom West, Vice President and Global Practice Leader, MakuSafe, talks about how wearable technology is reshaping workplace safety.
In today's hyper-connected world, the explosion of IoT devices is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape—but are businesses keeping up? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader of Networking and Edge Compute at Kyndryl, to explore why traditional IT security strategies are no longer enough. With IoT-related cyberattacks rising at double-digit rates year over year and the global number of IoT devices projected to reach 25.4 billion by 2030, enterprises face mounting challenges in securing their networks. Paul shares insights into the biggest threats organizations are grappling with, including the growing risks of social engineering attacks, outdated infrastructure, and the widening gap between IT and OT security. With 44% of enterprise technology now considered “out of life” and unsupported by vendors, businesses are unknowingly leaving themselves vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We also discuss Kyndryl's cybersecurity training program, which has driven a fourfold increase in employee-reported phishing incidents—a testament to the importance of ongoing education in strengthening enterprise security. Paul highlights the crucial role of Zero Trust and SASE architectures in modern network defense, using Kyndryl's own post-IBM spin-off transformation as a case study for successfully shifting to a cloud-first, AI-driven security approach. How can organizations modernize their infrastructure to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats? What steps should enterprises take to integrate IT and OT security more effectively? And how can AI-powered security tools help businesses navigate this rapidly changing landscape? Tune in to hear Paul's expert take on building a resilient, future-ready cybersecurity strategy.

Ismail Amla, Global Practice Leader at Kyndryl, and Fiona Czerniawska, CEO of Source, caught up with Emma Carroll, Source's Head of Content, on the latest episode of our The Future of the Firm podcast. Ismail and Fiona shared their insight on the following matters and more: Demand for support with AI, new regulation, innovation, and sector-specific digital transformation are all driving growth in this consulting sector. Clients are imagining new, cross-sector propositions. These will need new solutions from a technology point of view. Clients are becoming more realistic about making good use of AI. They aren't becoming less interested, but they realise it isn't as easy as they thought at first. There may be some interesting uses for AI around account management, particularly for clients that are working with multiple advisors. There is a trend towards technology-first when it comes to consulting projects. We discuss what this will look like and how it is set to transform the professional services sector. More mergers, acquisitions, or new partnerships may be on the cards between consulting firms, data companies, and platform providers. We look at what new entrants can add to partnerships and where firms are falling short with their ecosystems. If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice.

This episode is brought to you by Veracross and Toddle.As independent schools integrate technology more deeply into their educational practices and administrative operations, they face critical questions: How can they protect their digital ecosystems? What strategies can be employed to shield against cyber threats? Furthermore, how does cybersecurity intersect with the broader educational goals of fostering a safe and innovative learning environment?Robert Olsen, Global Practice Leader for Cybersecurity and Data Privacy at Ankura Consulting Group, addresses these pressing concerns. Olsen emphasizes the necessity for schools to adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity. This stance is not merely about defense but about building a resilient digital culture that can withstand and adapt to the evolving nature of cyber threats.Olsen remarks, "The reality is, threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it all the more important for schools to adopt a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity." This observation by Olsen highlights a critical challenge: the pace at which cyber threats evolve demands an equally dynamic and informed response from independent schools.Transitioning from Olsen's overarching insights, Christina Lewellen, the Executive Director of ATLIS, and Hiram Cuevas, the Director of Information Systems and Academic Technology at St. Christopher's School, provide practical perspectives on implementing these strategies within the school setting. Lewellen advocates for integrating technology to enhance collaboration and break down barriers within the school community. She asserts, "It's about leveraging technology to break down walls and foster collaboration," underscoring the essential role of cybersecurity in safeguarding the community's integrity and privacy.Cuevas adds a personal dimension to the discussion by sharing his experiences with technology's dual nature—its capacity to connect and expose. He reflects on using features like 'Find My' on Apple devices, balancing the convenience and peace of mind such technologies offer with the potential privacy concerns they raise. "It's not about monitoring but ensuring safety," Cuevas says, highlighting the nuanced approach required when integrating technology into educational settings.Olsen builds on these individual perspectives by addressing the unique challenges independent schools face, such as limited resources, which can make the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity measures seem daunting. He advises a strategic focus: "It's about identifying the most critical assets and focusing efforts on protecting those." This approach advocates for maximizing the impact of existing resources through prioritization and strategic investment.Going deeper, Olsen explores the broader implications of cybersecurity within the educational sector, including privacy issues and the ethical use of technology. He champions the creation of a secure yet practical ecosystem. "The goal is to create a secure and nurturing environment where technology enhances the educational experience without compromising the privacy or safety of the school community," he elaborates.Bill Stites, the Director of Technology at Montclair Kimberley Academy, often highlights the importance of transparent communication facilitated by technology. "Slack has become crucial for us," he might say, emphasizing the role of digital tools in bridging the communication gap across decentralized campuses. This reliance on digital platforms underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect the flow of information.Olsen's expertise not only sheds light on the challenges schools face in securing their digital domains but also offers a road map for...

Covey, Global Practice Leader at FranklinCovey, speaker and the author of a number of bestselling books, including his most recent, titled, Trust and Inspire.
In this episode of Commuter Rail Conversations, Coalition CEO, KellyAnne Gallagher and John Cline, of Cline Strategic Consulting and CRC's Director of Government Affairs, discuss the impacts of excess liability requirements on commuter rail roads. They are joined by special guest Otis Tolbert. Otis is the Managing Director and Global Practice Leader of Aon's Rail and Transit Practice. He has been with AON since 1998 and has served clients as a strategic advisor on complex risks. As Global Practice Leader, Otis has responsibility for thought leadership, product innovation, strategic direction, and financial performance of one of Aon's oldest industry segment practice groups; rail and transit.Excess liability requirements for commuter rail roads have shifted due in part to existing US policy as well as shared use agreements with freight, PTC, and other considerations. The impacts to the industry are significant and, should our commuter railroads find themselves unable to meet the increasing coverage requirements, could leave our passengers stranded at the platforms. Listen in to hear from the experts about what's happening, potential solutions, and an understanding of our call to action.

For decades, businesses have used a "command and control" method of leadership, a top-down authoritative approach that gives privilege and power only to senior management. Today, finding and retaining talent is harder than ever. So why do so many businesses continue to use this outdated style? To examine the changing landscape of leadership I've invited one of the foremost experts on trust and leadership to join me. Stephen M. R. Covey is the CEO of CoveyLink, Global Practice Leader at Franklin Covey and a New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Trust and Inspire. Stephen's newest book Trust and Inspire, offers a new way to lead that is based on today's workers and workplace. He shares with us why updating our style of leadership is so critical right now and what can be accomplished by having a high trust culture. Trust can be complicated to manage and manifest. Stephen explains how to build trust at scale (both in person and remotely); what to do when trust has been broken, and the role that the themes of Trust & Inspire can play in Thought Leadership. If you feel your leadership style is no longer meeting the needs of your organization, you'll learn a lot from this episode. Three Key Takeaways: * Having a culture of trust will help you attract and retain talent. * Building trust at scale means being the model for that behavior both in private and publicly. Once others see it you become an example others can replicate. * Do not attempt to separate the principle of your message from the practice of it. Doing so can cause your message to come off as fake or disingenuous.
For the first time, Law360 and Major, Lindsey, and Africa team up to survey BigLaw partners in their 2022 Partner Compensation Survey. We are joined by Craig Savitzky, Senior Data Analyst at Law360 and Jeffrey Lowe, Global Practice Leader of the Law Firm Practice at Major Lindsey and Africa. With this being the first survey of law firm partners since most firms have made some effort to return to the office, there were some surprises on how much remote work partners want to take versus how much their firms are offering. It may not be what you think. Women and minority partners made some strong gains according to this survey in narrowing the pay gap. While the gap is still significant between women/minority partners and their white male colleagues, this was the smallest percentage in the history of the survey which began in 2010. For the first time, the difference between average equity partner pay was more than $1 Million over average non-equity partner pay. Savitzky and Lowe unpack a lot of data from the survey for us.

From a young age, Chris McChesney fell in love with Stephen Covey's application of principles over best practices. He wanted to be a part of Franklin Covey so much that he landed his first job with them over thirty years ago by pretending to be a newspaper reporter as a fake intern. That's dedication. Today McChesney is a National Best-Selling Author, Keynote Speaker, and Global Practice Leader with Franklin Covey. He sat down with Dustin Odham to discuss how to create some wildly important goals this summer. McChesney's book, the 4 Disciplines of Execution, proved influential to Odham in his career path, so he asked McChesney to share the origins behind the approach. Through a Franklin Covey consultant some twenty-five years ago, McChesney saw doing unique work with organizational design that first got his wheels turning. Eventually, the portion that drew the most interest for McChesney was execution and how to execute strategy effectively. The 4 Disciplines of Execution came out ten years ago, and with a decade of putting these ideas into practice, the question is, what makes these disciplines still valid today? “There were a couple of things that were just huge,” McChesney said. “One of them was the whirlwind. People are shocked when they learn that we were at this for three years before putting our finger on the whirlwind and this idea of urgency addiction. It's not about executing a goal. It's about executing a goal in the face of this other force, which is the energy required to maintain the operation.” And the second thing was a conscious decision not to let the four disciplines be an overarching system. That doesn't mean learnings from the years of putting these ideas into practice can't change over time. There is a second edition of the book. “Between the first and second editions of the book, there were some common areas where leaders struggle,” McChesney said. “We were so close to the methodology, we knew what we meant, but sometimes what you mean isn't what you say. And we were much more deliberate about it in the second edition.”

The Hackett Group Senior Director, GBS Advisory Penny Weller talks with Principal and Global GBS Advisory Practice Leader Martijn Geerling about the impact of inflation on global business services and shared services operations.Show Notes:Welcome to The Hackett Group's Business Excelleration Podcast, where - week after week - we hear from experts on how to avoid obstacles, manage detours, and celebrate milestones on the journey to world-class performance. Today's episode is hosted by Penny Weller, Senior Director of Global Business Services at The Hackett Group. Her guest is Martijn Geerling, Global Practice Leader for GBS Advisory at Hackett. The focus of today's discussion is the impact of inflation on GBS operations. North America and Europe have risen markedly in the last year. This conflict, especially in the Ukraine area, is accelerating inflation with energy and food prices. While some of the inflation is transient, we actually found that it is on the rise and here to stay for longer than we initially thought. To begin, Martijn explains why inflation is important and why it matters from a GBS perspective. The main concern for GBS leaders, he reveals, is around labor costs. Consumer prices across most rich countries, like the U.S. and Europe, are up at least 8%. Aside from labor costs, other concerns for GBS leaders are turnover and outsourcing costs. Operationally, it has an impact on things like management and working capital. Cost of labor is one thing, but the cost of capital for organizations is also increasing. Then, they focus on the point of the impact of inflation on outsourcing contracts. This is something which is really top of mind for many organizations today. In the U.S., the great resignation is a major theme. Rates in offshore locations have gone up and many GBS organizations have experienced at least 8-10% inflation. In our annual GBS study, we see that rates in Western Europe average about 10%, while offshore locations report rates of 15-19%. This raises anxiety around the impact of the rising cost of labor and living on salaries. Some organizations are offering higher rates to attract people to their organization. In places like India, what we've seen is that working from home has changed the equation. If you recruit, labor goes up and there are those extra fees by hiring fees, training and more. Looking at the type of process GBS organizations are using (purchase-to-pay, order-to-cash, cash management), they are not necessarily new. There are a number of best practices which organizations need to focus on. This includes things like implementing supplier payment policy, payment clocks, payment term optimization and looking at pricing and analytics. This is where GBS organizations can support the enterprise. Right now, there should be a focus on reviewing technology spent and examining cost categories in GBS. This includes determining whether there is a budget for salary increases. Cost of hiring and training needs to be reset in alignment with new assumptions around inflation. Another area impacted is in outsourcing agreements. Some organizations, if they haven't looked into this, may be in for an unpleasant surprise. As the episode draws to a close, Martijn shares his predictions for what GBS leaders can expect in terms of inflation in the near future. The inflation is not transient and will not be going away this year, or perhaps next. Some drivers are pandemic-related, supply chains are completely out of whack. What unfortunately isn't going away is the impact of the next crisis, the global war in Ukraine. We are all aware of the price hikes of oil and gas. Martijn expects that the cost of food and fertilizer will begin to rise even more and have a significant impact on the cost of living. Inflation will be running high into 2023. With these kinds of things, forecasting is always about the assumptions.

Meet Stephen M.R. Covey, Global authority on trust, leadership, and culture. New York Times best selling authorStephen M.R. Covey lives and breathes leadership. As the son of leadership author Dr. Stephen R. Covey, his career choice is no surprise, but his work differs in that it's focused on creating high-trust work culture. In this episode, Stephen explains his “trust and inspire” leadership model in depth, citing specific studies that explain why it's the approach modern workplaces need in the digital age. “You can't ‘command and control' your way to innovation, you've got to do it through ‘trust and inspire,'” he says. Get Stephen's latest book Trust & Inspire, click here Meet your host Jan Griffiths, https://youtu.be/AOAtVjtni6o (click here) Episode Summary Stephen M.R. Covey wants you to trust your employees. And he wants you to do so by putting in the time to truly connect with them — while resisting the urge to micromanage. “You're truly empowering people around an agreement with clear expectations and with accountability,” he says of his “trust and inspire” leadership model. “And with that, you can do so much more. People will actually judge themselves against the agreement and report back to you, instead of you having to hover.” Stephen's leadership career began in 1989 when, after graduating from Harvard Business School with an MBA, and with nearly two years of experience as a leasing agent with Trammell Crow Company under his belt, he was at a crossroad. “I was really debating going back to [Trammell Crow] after getting my MBA when my father said, ‘why don't you join with me?'” Stephen recalls. And when your father is the author of “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” joining him is decidedly the correct choice. So, they worked together to create the Covey Leadership Center, and Stephen climbed the ranks from Client Partner to CEO over the course of the next five years. But eventually, Stephen realized he had more to offer the world, leading him to write three books around the concept of trust and inspire leadership. In this episode, he explains the ins and outs of this concept and why it's the necessary replacement for the “command and control” model. “You win in the workplace when you build and inspire a high-trust culture, and you win in the marketplace when you collaborate and innovate. That's how you stay relevant in a changing world,” he says. Themes discussed on this episode: How his father's success influenced Stephen's childhood and eventual career The difference between the command and control leadership model and the trust and inspire model Why Stephen believes trust and inspiration go hand-in-hand with innovation and winning Why gaining trust is a slow but worthwhile process Why today's digital-first and ever-evolving work environment deserves a new leadership model How believing people are innately good will lead you down a path of connection and collaboration The difference between position authority and moral authority Featured Guest: Stephen M.R. Covey
The Hackett Group European Practice Leader David Ketchin talks with Global Advisory Practice Leader Tom Willman about key findings from our 2022 Finance Key Issues Research, which outlines changing trends, priorities, and challenges facing the finance function.Show Notes:Welcome to the Hackett Group's Business Excelleration Podcast, where - week after week - we hear from experts on how to avoid obstacles, manage detours, and celebrate milestones on the journey to world-class performance. Today's episode is hosted by David Ketchin, who leads the Hackett Group in Europe, and his guest for the discussion is the Hackett Group's Global Practice Leader for Finance Advisory, Tom Willman. David and Tom's conversation focuses on the key issues from the Hackett Group's latest research conducted at the end of 2021, and it identifies why these issues are the top priorities for finance functions in 2022.While the Hackett Group's Key Issues Study identifies the top ten priorities for the finance function, David and Tom narrow their discussion to the first half of these priorities. But first, David first offers business context concerning current realities of high inflation, labor shortages, labor rate and freight price increases, and COVID-19 recovery. This context provides the backdrop for considering the priorities highlighted by the study, most specifically those of returning to growth and fostering agility. Tom explains how he has seen the business context of the day impact finance, detailing how finance is being asked to do more with less staff and money, and so needs greater productivity and to lean into tech-enabled improvements.The acceleration of digital transformation has actually jumped to be finance's top priority for the year ahead. This priority is followed by the goals to enhance finance's role as a strategic advisor to the business, upskill and retain talent, and foster agility. Digital Transformation, Tom says, is the process of driving change in which we will leverage new technologies combined with people and processes to create value. He unpacks what this involves for finance before expanding on the priority of advising the business; this priority, at heart, looks like giving business leaders new insight, saying things they don't already know. In terms of talent, finance needs to take stock of and improve its value function, and make changes within workforce and management strategy. As the episode ends, Tom offers four absolute "get rights" for finance.
