Everyone loves a good tech strategy session—but how do we make sure those plans don't just sit on a shelf? We're diving into the realities of making strategy happen. Join us for the second installment of Tech Strategy in Action, a series where we dive into exactly that. Today we will be discussing how CLIA has implemented their newly imagined website based on an enormous amount of user research, led by our guest Jill Straniero, SVP of Digital Solutions and Managing Director of Global Technology. We will discuss how deep user interviews and audience analysis revealed the need to shift from a department-focused approach to an audience-focused digital strategy. The findings helped streamline twelve websites into two distinct ones. The conversation highlights how user research is not just for usability—it's a strategic tool for long-term organizational alignment and smarter tech investments Hosted by Norma Castrejon, Vice President, Information Technology at the American Osteopathic Association and Rhoni Rakos, Lead Consultant, Digital Strategy at Ellipsis Partners.

Standard rule over us. We're affected every day by decisions someone has made about standards. They determine the shape of our electrical plugs, the quality of our water, the signals used by our phones, and so much more. Standards don't just happen. They're decided. Sometimes one company does that. Sometimes it's done by international deliberation, argument, and eventual compromise.Talking about standards is classic work in STS. Standards create the scaffolding on which science and technology builds. They constrain and they enable. It matters who gets to decide these things. Standards setting can affect our lives for generations, and they can cost us (or profit us) to the tune of many trillions of pounds.Luckily, here in STS we have an expert on standards. Dr Saheli Datta Burton is Lecturer in Science Policy. She's recently co-authored some research trying to build a risk assessment for the way standards are being set these days across a huge range to subjects. She's looking for patterns, trends, and general themes. The conclusions she reaches are, I'd say, profoundly worrying from the British perspective. Simply put: we do not have our act together in this area, and this is going to come back to bite.Saheli's article is co-authored work:Nicholas Zúñiga, Saheli Datta Burton, Filippo Blancato, Madeline Carr, The geopolitics of technology standards: historical context for US, EU and Chinese approaches, International Affairs, Volume 100, Issue 4, July 2024, Pages 1635–1652, https://doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiae124To summarise the piece, it explores how the US, China, and the EU are shaping global technology standards with different approaches. The US traditionally favoured a hands-off strategy, leaving standard setting largely to the private sector. China, historically top-down, is now blending private and government involvement to set tech standards globally. The EU seeks a balance between competition and cooperation to protect wider socio-cultural values. All three regions are increasing government involvement in standard-setting due to technology's growing geopolitical importance. The article emphasizes how control over standards can lead to economic benefits and power. The EU's newest strategy focuses on gaining a competitive edge while ensuring cooperation and preserving values like interoperability.FeaturingIntervieweeDr Saheli Datta Burton is a Lecturer (teaching) in Science Policy (Responsible Research and Innovation) at UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/77672-saheli-datta-burtonHostProfessor Joe Cain https://ucl.ac.uk/sts/cainMusic creditsMusic credits“Rollin At 5,” by Kevin MacLeod https://filmmusic.io/song/5000-rollin-at-5“Spy Glass” by Kevin MacLeod https://filmmusic.io/song/4410-spy-glassPodcast informationWeAreSTS is a production of the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) at University College London (UCL).

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of the company's first actively managed exchange-traded fund , the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace & Defence ETF, trading under the symbol "WAR" on the New York Stock Exchange. This launch marks a significant milestone, building on the success of the company's flagship U.S. Global Jets ETF, which has exceeded $1 billion in assets under management. The WAR ETF aims to capitalize on the increasing global demand for advanced defence and protection technologies, providing investors with exposure to sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data centers, cybersecurity, aerospace, and electronic warfare. Designed to address modern challenges and geopolitical risks, the WAR ETF applies a smart beta 2.0 investment strategy that integrates quantitative and fundamental analysis to identify opportunities for long-term growth while mitigating risk. Holmes highlighted the growing urgency for defense-related investments, citing that global military expenditures reached a record-breaking $2.4 trillion in 2023, following nine consecutive years of growth. He emphasized that this trend is particularly evident in Europe, where EU member states collectively plan to spend €326 billion on aerospace and defence this year—an unprecedented 1.9% of the bloc's GDP. With its innovative approach and focus on high-growth industries, the WAR ETF seeks to offer investors diversified exposure to the critical technologies shaping the future of global defense and security. #proactiveinvestors #usglobalinvestorsinc #nasdaq #grow #etf #jets #travel #colombia #WARETF #DefenseSpending #Cybersecurity #Semiconductors #Aerospace #SmartBeta #ETFs #NYSE #investment #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

The Seaco IT team in partnership with the business are running a series of experiments with AI and Big data to help it adapt to stay ahead of the curve. While there is a lot of hype surrounding AI, Damian emphasizes the importance of understanding the core business problems before jumping to technology solutions. He introduced the ACE framework (Analytics, Conversational, and Experience) which can help pinpoint the most relevant business cases for AI adoption. For instance, at Seaco, they evaluated 30 potential use cases and narrowed it down to 3 that deliver the biggest boost to productivity and revenue.However, successful AI adoption goes beyond technology. Damian highlights the importance of employee and stakeholder buy-in. This means addressing fears of job displacement and showcasing how AI can actually enhance productivity. For example, he explains how success stories from pilot projects can pave the way for realizing the technology's full impact. He also emphasizes fostering a culture of "psychological safety" where employees feel comfortable experimenting with new technologies. Looking to the future, he acknowledged that AI presents both opportunities and challenges for business leaders. As such, it's essential to have a clear vision and strategy in place, along with a commitment to ongoing learning and development for his employees.Recorded 29th May 2024, ATxSG Singapore Expo, 12.30pm.

DataSolutions, a Climb company and specialist distributor of innovative IT solutions, has announced the launch of "Amplify", a new programme developed to accelerate growth for vendors looking to establish or further expand their presence in Ireland and the UK. Over the next six to 12 months, DataSolutions will enable access to its network of more than 700 resellers, partners and MSPs - including the Top 100 VARs in the Irish and UK markets - for at least ten new vendors, providing support and resources to expand distribution channels and drive business growth. Through the programme and driven by DataSolutions' 30-plus years of experience in the industry, vendors will be better equipped to identify business opportunities, attract customers, and maximise sales in the region. In turn, this will support their ability to innovate and expand outside of their home markets. Specifically, DataSolutions' dedicated sales and support team will help vendors by promoting and putting their solutions in front of an extensive network of partners. As well as establishing relationships with channel partners to support expansion, vendors will benefit from the opportunity to cross-sell with other vendor partners and have a platform whereby they can amplify their messages across social, email and online channels. The initiative is for both emerging vendors and those that are established in their home markets but are looking to build a presence in the Irish and UK markets. It is also for vendors that are already directly selling or have existing business in the region but are not reaching their potential. For those new to both markets, DataSolutions will provide valuable insights and guidance to navigate local channels. For those who want to enhance their existing presence, Amplify will assist by identifying growth opportunities and devising strategies to increase market penetration. Three different levels of marketing support will also be available through the programme, with a dedicated service designed to maximise awareness and drive demand among customers. Marketing support includes activities such as branding, digital strategies, content creation and demand generation campaigns. DataSolutions adopts a 2-tier channel model, which offers a multitude of benefits including lower cost-of-sale due to lower staffing, administrative and logistics expenses; greater product and customer focus from not having to run extensive sales, support, logistics and finance businesses. The 2-tier model also offers faster market penetration by leveraging local channel relationships and knowledge, broader market reach and cross-selling opportunities with other vendors in the distributor's portfolio. Amplify will see DataSolutions grow its vendor portfolio, with the company aiming to sign up at least ten new vendors through the programme. At launch, it has already secured agreements with Flexxible, a provider of automation, observability, and management for hybrid digital workspaces and Jscrambler, which develops a monitoring framework to safeguard client-side applications. Francis O'Haire, Group Chief Technology Officer, DataSolutions, a Climb company, said: "As a business, we are growing and are eager to further expand our vendor portfolio. From emerging to established vendors, we are looking for ambitious companies that want to expand their reach, delivering innovative technologies to a much wider audience. "Of course, breaking into new markets can be challenging and we have seen many vendors struggle to fulfil their full potential on an international scale. But there is vast opportunity in Ireland and the UK as one of the largest markets in the world. We also know the value of and can provide access to channel partnerships that deliver benefits for vendors, including greater reach and rapidly increasing revenues. "Not only are we helping vendors to establish and expand their presence in the Irish and UK markets, we are also identifying cutting-edge solutions for...
The recent speech by Microsoft EVP, Experiences + Devices, Rajesh Jha, at the Barclays Global Technology Conference provided a glimpse into the company's strategic focus on generative AI. According to Jha, the last quarter has seen generative AI rise as a potentially revolutionary tech force which might outpace the magnitude of previous tech progress. Microsoft seems to be placing itself at the crest of this wave, if we infer from its concentration in this domain, and as evidenced by its launch of GPT-4. Spotting the application of generative AI in Microsoft's offerings, one cannot bypass the Microsoft 365 Copilot, which has been pivotal in heightening productivity and optimizing workflows across a diverse range of use scenarios. Spanning aid during meetings and information summarization to the enhancement of work output quality, the Copilot's value proposition has been mainly about labor reduction and total productivity enhancement. The ability of Microsoft to democratize AI, as they have stated, reflects in the effortless blend of AI capabilities into existing user experiences - a case in point being the Windows operating system. From a future perspective, Microsoft has plans to sustain its generative AI investments, aiming to stimulate user interfaces and experiences in line with the ongoing evolution of AI, focusing especially on natural language processing and multimodal interactions. Collaboration stands central to this strategy, particularly with partners and developers, to propel the Microsoft 365 Copilot's abilities and to stimulate innovation within a strong platform ecosystem. On the whole, these developments suggest a strong commitment from Microsoft Corporation to exploit AI augmentation's possibilities. These objectives show a harmonious intersection of generative AI and Microsoft's future vision, setting the scene for transformative progress in the years to come. This is of course based on claims made during the Barclays Global Technology Conference. We look forward to observing their progress.
