Here's the problem: AI is evolving faster than most organizations can keep up — and the risks of falling behind are real.In this episode, futurist and researcher Mike Courtney, CEO of Aperio Insights, joins IISE's David Brandt to explore how industrial and systems engineers can lead through the AI revolution. From balancing innovation with ethics to building systems that keep “humans in the loop,” this conversation reveals how to harness AI's power without losing our human advantage.Full episode available October 28.
Unfälle in der Allgemeinen Luftfahrt sind selten – aber sie passieren. In dieser Folge analysieren wir echte Fälle aus den BFU-Berichten (Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung) und zeigen, was wirklich dahintersteckt: menschliche Faktoren, Routinefehler, kleine Entscheidungen mit großen Folgen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum die meisten Unfälle direkt am Flugplatz passieren, was Piloten aus den Berichten lernen können, und wie mentale Vorbereitung und Disziplin Leben retten. Vom Startlauf über den Anflug bis zur Landung – jede Phase hat ihre eigenen Risiken. Diese Episode richtet sich an Privatpiloten, Flugschüler und Luftfahrtinteressierte, die verstehen wollen, warum Unfälle geschehen – und wie man sie vermeidet. Mit Fakten, echten Szenarien und klaren Lehren für die Praxis.

In this podcast, recorded at our Anaesthesia 2025 conference, Professor and Consultant Anaesthetist Helen Higham talks to Dr Paul Southall about her work and career improving the the 'complex and adaptive system' of anaesthesia often given by its shorthand, 'human factors'. For this work Helen was awarded the Hewitt Lectureship, given to established senior clinicians, academic experts or pioneers in their fields who have advanced the science or art of anaesthetic practice. Paul and Helen discuss her research interests, which include human factors and simulation-based education in healthcare, and her current projects focused on systems-based approaches to safety in primary care, human factors in low to middle income healthcare settings and the use of virtual reality to train healthcare professionals. Helen gives us an insight into her career and professional life, and bangs the drum for the importance of quality improvement, simulation and team-based learning and how central anaesthesia and its culture is to these practices in medicine.

Much of the world around us—our workplaces, products, and public spaces—was never designed with everyone in mind. That oversight can create barriers, limit performance, and even put people at risk. But when ergonomics meets universal design, inclusion becomes innovation.In this episode of Problem Solved: The IISE Podcast, we hear from two leading voices in human factors and ergonomics: Bobbie Watts, past president of IISE's Applied Ergonomics Society, and Anuja Patil, current president and risk control director at CNA Insurance.Together, they unpack how universal design principles are reshaping the way we work, build, and live—from accessible workplaces and flexible production lines to AI-powered safety systems and healthcare environments designed for all.

Retterview - Gedanken, Wissen und Spaß aus dem Pflasterlaster
In Folge 2.70 von Retterview – Gedanken, Wissen & Spaß aus dem Pflasterlaster nehmen euch Samy Splint und Notfalltaxi direkt mit auf die Florian Messe 2025 in Dresden. Zwischen Blaulicht, Hubschraubern, Polizei-Motorrädern und Reanimations-Challenges erzählen sie von echten Highlights: vom Gemeinschaftsstand der Johanniter und Polizei Sachsen, vom Hubschraubersimulator, Hundestaffel, Bevölkerungsschutz und einem unglaublichen Team aus Ehrenamtlichen, das drei Tage lang alles gegeben hat. Doch der größte Aha-Moment kam draußen – bei der technischen Rettung „TH Agrar“ mit der Lukas Rescue League: Feuerwehr, THW und Rettungsdienst mussten gemeinsam Menschen aus Mähdreschern, Traktoren und verunfallten Fahrzeugen retten. Und dort zeigte sich: Kommunikation ist die wichtigste Sicherheitsausrüstung. Im zweiten Teil sprechen Samy & Mike über das Fachthema Crew Resource Management (CRM): Was bedeutet CRM eigentlich – und woher kommt es (Spoiler: aus der Luftfahrt)? Warum Fehler fast immer Kommunikationsfehler sind Welche Leitsätze nach Rall & Langewand / InPASS für den Rettungsdienst gelten Wie Feuerwehr und Rettungsdienst interprofessionell voneinander lernen können Und warum jeder im Team „Stopp“ sagen darf – und soll Ein Muss für alle, die in Einsatzteams arbeiten – egal ob Feuerwehr, Rettungsdienst, Polizei oder THW.

Praxismarketing 2030: Was wird für deine Zahnarztpraxis unverzichtbar? In dieser ganz besonderen Episode tauchen wir tief in die Zukunft des Praxismarketings ein! Gemeinsam mit einer Runde hochkarätiger Experten (Dr. Sebastian Schulz, Markus Reif, Alex Gutinger, Christian Finke) diskutieren wir, was ab morgen für dein Praxismarketing in der Zukunft unverzichtbar ist. Das Kernthema ist die Verbindung von technologischer Intelligenz und Menschlichkeit in einer zunehmend digitalisierten Welt. Du erfährst, wie du durch Daten, Automatisierung und KI deine Prozesse optimieren kannst, ohne dabei den entscheidenden „Human Factor“ zu vergessen. Wir beleuchten die wachsende Bedeutung des „Bullshit-Filters“ bei Konsumenten und wie du mit Authentizität und Glaubwürdigkeit Vertrauen aufbaust. Ein zentrales Learning ist die Patientenreise, also die gesamte Customer Journey deiner Patienten, die du aktiv gestalten und orchestrieren musst. Wir betonen, dass ein solides Fundament aus Positionierung, Branding und strategischer Ausrichtung entscheidend ist, bevor du dich in die Flut der Features stürzt. Und keine Sorge: Neue Medien werden alte nicht komplett ersetzen, sondern immer nur ergänzen – es geht darum, die richtige Balance zu finden, die zu deiner Praxis und deinen Zielen passt. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse in kurzen Schlagzeilen: - Menschlichkeit + KI = Dein Erfolgsgeheimnis. Auch wenn datenbasierte Entscheidungen und Automatisierung durch KI immer wichtiger werden, ist der menschliche Touch unverzichtbar für deine Relevanz und Differenzierung. Dein „Warum“ und deine Werte sind dabei entscheidend. - Bleib authentisch: Dein Bullshit-Filter entscheidet. Konsumenten werden kritischer gegenüber digitalen Inhalten. Echte Glaubwürdigkeit und wahrhaftige Kommunikation sind der Schlüssel, um Vertrauen in einer KI-getriebenen Welt zu schaffen. - Die Patientenreise: Dein Dreh- und Angelpunkt. Verstehe und gestalte die Reise deiner Patienten von A bis Z. Entlang der 14-15 Kontaktpunkte bestätigst du Erwartungen und entlastest gleichzeitig dein Personal. Fundament vor Features: Strategie geht vor! Bevor du dich in SEO, Social Media oder KI-Suchen stürzt, investiere in ein starkes Fundament: klare Positionierung, Branding und eine solide Marketingstrategie. Ohne sie bricht jede Kampagne zusammen. - Analoge Präsenz zählt: Der Mix macht's! Trotz aller Digitalisierung bleiben analoge Touchpoints wie Print oder der persönliche Anruf wichtig. Neue Medien ergänzen die alten – finde den perfekten Mix für deine Zielgruppe.

Send us a textWelcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!In this captivating episode of The Helicopter Podcast, host Halsey Schider welcomes Ken Wylie, an International Certified Mountain Guide and author of Buried. Unlike typical guests, Ken's expertise lies not in aviation but in mountaineering, where he has dedicated his career to understanding human factors and decision-making in high-consequence environments. Drawing parallels between mountaineering and aviation, Ken shares his transformative experience surviving a tragic 2003 avalanche in Revelstoke, where seven lives were lost. He reflects on the critical role of intuition, the dangers of hierarchical decision-making, and the importance of balancing courage with humility. Through his Archetypal framework, Ken explores how countering mindsets like the “addict” and “alchemist” shape decisions under pressure. This episode offers profound insights for pilots and high-risk professionals on managing fear, complacency, and responsibility to enhance safety and performance.To learn more about Ken's work, visit: https://www.archetypal.ca/Thank you to our sponsors HeliLadder, Enstrom and Sellacopter.

In this episode of Cashflow Legendz, Brandon, Brock, and Nate dive into why our behavior, mindset, and lack of discipline can derail even the best financial strategies.

Every cyber breach has one thing in common: a human being. Whether it's clicking on a phishing email, rushing past a warning message, or simply being overwhelmed by the pressures of work, people are often labeled as “the weakest link” in cybersecurity. But is that really fair? Should the responsibility for safer behavior fall solely on individual employees—or on the organizations and cultures that shape how they work? In this episode, we speak with Bruce Hallas, founder of Rethinking the Human Factor, to uncover why the real solution isn't more training or blame, but smarter processes and cultural change that support humans in doing the right thing.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik sits down with licensed professional counselor and AACCT-certified sex therapist Daniel Fleshner, founder of Inflection Point Therapy, to cut through the hype around mental-health tech. From AI chatbots and teletherapy to outcome tracking and ethics, Daniel explains where digital tools genuinely improve access and results—and where they fall short for complex trauma, grief, and deep relational healing. If you're evaluating mental-health apps, online therapy platforms, or “AI therapy,” this conversation offers a direct, no-nonsense framework for safer, smarter decisions that actually support well-being. SEO: mental health technology, AI therapy, chatbots, teletherapy, therapy outcomes, data privacy, ethics, accessibility. About the guest : Daniel Fleshner is a licensed professional counselor, AACCT-certified sex therapist, and founder of Inflection Point Therapy. He works at the intersection of sex therapy, trauma-informed care, and health-system reform—advising startups, speaking for organizations, and advocating for ethical, evidence-informed use of technology in mental health. Key takeaways: Access vs. outcomes: Tech can widen access (e.g., teletherapy) and improve outcomes, but effect sizes in traditional therapy show clear room to grow—use tools that complement, not replace, therapy. Right tool, right job: Chatbots can aid decision-making and concrete problem-solving. For complex trauma, grief, and deep attachment work, prioritize a trained human therapist. Evaluate apps pragmatically: Look for transparent data privacy, risk management, clinical input, and honest claims about scope. Be wary of “one-stop AI therapist” marketing. Adjunct, not substitute: If you use an app, pair it with therapy and use it between sessions for journaling, skills practice, and accountability. Ethics matters: Intentions behind products matter. Some builders are profit-first; others are well-meaning but lack a clinical lens—both can miss safety and quality. Healthy expectations: Therapy isn't a magic bullet or a sham. It's a structured process that still requires hard work, realistic goals, and time. Ideal partnership: Put clinicians at the table (leadership, equity) to bridge therapy, business, and tech—then build tools that support real-world therapeutic work. Personal action: Define what you actually need (support, skills, human connection) before choosing any platform or app. How to connect with the guest Substack: The Disrupted Therapist Website: inflectionPointTherapy.com (contact form reaches Daniel directly) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Executive OverviewThe week's events illustrate escalating risks at the intersection of industrial operations, national security, personal privacy, and emerging technology. Major cyber incidents demonstrate how fragile digital infrastructure has become, while privacy erosion continues through corporate data monetization and state surveillance. Human error persists as a dominant threat vector, and rapid technological advancement remains both a shield and a source of risk.I. Systemic Infrastructure & Supply Chain VulnerabilitiesThe cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) exemplifies cascading industrial risks. A phishing entry point forced JLR to halt global production, costing up to £100M and threatening thousands of suppliers with collapse. The UK government faces mounting pressure to intervene. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration uncovered hidden radios in foreign-made power systems—likely Chinese—used in traffic signs, EV chargers, and weather stations. These undocumented components could enable remote disruption or espionage, underscoring critical supply chain insecurity.II. Privacy Erosion & Data CommercializationPersonal data is increasingly commodified:Airlines (via ARC) sold five billion passenger records to agencies like FBI and ICE for warrantless surveillance, skirting legal oversight. Senator Wyden is pushing legislation to close this loophole.Verizon was fined $46.9M for unlawfully selling location data, setting legal precedent that Section 222 protects customer location.UK employers are rapidly adopting “bossware,” with one-third monitoring staff emails, browsing, or screens. While justified as productivity or insider threat control, critics warn of eroded trust and pervasive surveillance culture.III. The Human Factor in Cyber BreachesHumans remain the weak link:Schools: Over half of insider data breaches stemmed from students, mostly using stolen or guessed credentials. Motivated by curiosity, some exposed thousands of records.Global theft rings: A single stolen iPhone exposed a transnational phishing and resale network spanning six countries. The scheme used fake iCloud links to bypass Apple's protections.Russia's “Max” app: Marketed as secure, it is exploited by fraudsters renting accounts for scams. With nearly 10% of scam calls traced to Max, new laws now criminalize account transfers.IV. Technology's Dual EdgeInnovation provides stronger defenses but also reckless failures:Apple launched Memory Integrity Enforcement, a silicon-level protection against buffer overflows and side-channel exploits, deployed on iPhone 17 and iPhone Air.Google's VaultGemma, a 1B-parameter model trained with differential privacy, promises competitive performance without exposing sensitive data—an advance in privacy-preserving AI.AI Darwin Awards highlight failures from poor oversight: Taco Bell's misfiring AI drive-thru, McDonald's compromised recruiting chatbot, Replit's database-wiping AI, and even the satirical awards site itself.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX A 42-year-old man who has lived most of his life with type 1 diabetes has become the first human to receive a transplant of genetically modified insulin-producing cells. This marks the first pancreatic cell transplant in a human to sidestep the need for immunosuppressant drugs. “This is the most exciting moment of my scientific career,” says cell biologist Per-Ola Carlsson of Uppsala University in Sweden, who helped develop the procedure. The new treatment, he says, “opens the future possibility of treating not only diabetes but other autoimmune diseases.” This procedure uses the gene editing technique, CRISPR, to discourage the auto immune attack on the donor cells. Before the transplant, the participant had no measurable naturally produced insulin and was receiving daily doses of the hormone. But within four to 12 weeks following the transplant, his levels rose slightly on their own after meals—showing that the new beta cells were releasing some insulin in response to glucose. even though the new study is promising, it involved just one participant and is therefore preliminary. And longer-term monitoring is needed to confirm the therapy's safety before it can be offered to more people. She also notes that the injected cells produced only 7 percent of the insulin needed for a person to be fully independent of additional medication. The researchers supplied the recipient with insulin doses to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. While Herold thinks it's still too early to consider this approach for a cure, “these options are now here to change the disease in ways that have never been possible before,” he says. “There's tremendous hope.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/type-1-diabetes-patients-insulin-production-restored-with-new-cell/ XX This one is interesting… a recent study shows that children of mothers with gestational diabetes or fathers with type 2 diabetes have higher chances of developing type 1 diabetes than kids whose parents do not have any type of diabetes. Specifically, the study found that children whose mothers had gestational diabetes during pregnancy were 94% more likely to develop type 1 diabetes compared to children of mothers without diabetes. Similarly, having a father with type 2 diabetes was linked to a 77% higher risk. The study also suggests a possible link between maternal type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes in children, although more data are needed to confirm whether the risk is real. "What is interesting is that type 1 diabetes is a disease of lack of the hormone insulin while gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes stem mostly from the body's resistance to the hormone. What may be happening is that genes, environments and behaviors that create insulin resistance may also, in some cases, trigger the immune reactions that lead to type 1 diabetes," adds Dr. Dasgupta. A 2019 meta-analysis by researchers at Soochow University in China found that gestational diabetes was linked to a 66% higher risk of type 1 diabetes in children. This new study, which includes more than twice as many studies, offers a robust synthesis of current evidence and shows the risk is even greater than previously estimated. It is also the first meta-analysis to examine the link between paternal type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes in offspring. "Several mechanisms may be at play. Families often share lifestyle and eating habits, which can raise the likelihood that children will be affected. But beyond that, high blood sugar levels may also cause biological changes in parents that could increase their children's risk of developing type 1 diabetes," explains Laura Rendon, co-first author of the study, who completed an MSc in experimental medicine at The Institute and, as someone living with type 1 diabetes herself, finds deep personal meaning in conducting this research. For instance, the authors suggest that high blood sugar during pregnancy may stress the fetus's insulin-producing beta cells, reducing their number at birth or making them more vulnerable to damage later in life. It may also trigger epigenetic changes—modifications to proteins and molecules attached to DNA—that increase the risk. Likewise, high blood sugar in fathers with type 2 diabetes may cause epigenetic changes in their sperm, potentially influencing their child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-diabetes-children-linked-parents.html XX Can a CGM help you lose weight? The company Signos is banking on it – the just got FDA approval for their system, which uses the over the counter Dexcom Stelo. The claim here is that the system will help track how food choices, activity, stress and sleep can all affect metabolism. Signos also works in partnership with the digital nutrition counseling startup Nourish. It currently offers a quarterly subscription plan, including six CGM sensors, for $139 per month. And they tell you don't take any medical actions based on the app's output without consulting a physician. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/fda-clears-signos-over-counter-cgm-powered-weight-loss-app XX Good news for T1D1, a free mobile app that helps people calculate insulin doses, track daily data, and share insights with healthcare providers. After being pulled off the market with similar apps a few years ago, it's now back and FDA approved. Drew Mendelow created the app after his diagnosis at age 13. He came on the show last year and I'll link his story up in the show notes. Diabetes Center Berne provided the initial funding to support the T1D1 efforts to redesign the app per FDA standards. Comerge AG , the registered manufacturer, enlisted a team of software engineers, regulatory experts, and design professionals to ensure T1D1 was FDA-ready. Dexcom graciously conducted the Human Factors study to ensure safety and accuracy.  T1D1 is now FDA-cleared as a Class II medical device and is the first over-the-counter insulin calculator cleared for individuals aged 2 and older. T1D1 is expected to be live in the AppStore and Google Play Store by October 2025. https://diabetes-connections.com/the-fda-took-down-this-teens-free-bolus-calculator-he-needs-your-help-to-bring-it-back/ XX Metformin has been the standard treatment for type 2 diabetes for more than six decades, yet scientists still do not fully understand how it works. A team from Baylor College of Medicine, working with international collaborators, has now identified an unexpected factor in its effectiveness: the brain. Their findings reveal a brain pathway involved in metformin's glucose-lowering action, pointing to new strategies for treating diabetes with greater precision. The study was published in Science Advances. The researchers concentrated on a small protein called Rap1, located in a region of the brain known as the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). They discovered that metformin's ability to lower blood sugar at clinically relevant doses depends on suppressing Rap1 activity in this brain area. “This discovery changes how we think about metformin,” Fukuda said. “It's not just working in the liver or the gut, it's also acting in the brain. We found that while the liver and intestines need high concentrations of the drug to respond, the brain reacts to much lower levels.” https://scitechdaily.com/after-60-years-scientists-uncover-hidden-brain-pathway-behind-diabetes-drug-metformin/ XX Looks like GLP-1 pills are moving ahead. Lilly says it's version helped overweight adults with type 2 lose 10% of their body weights and lower A1C. Just two weeks ago, we were talking about how the same drug in people without diabetes had less than the stellar expected results. Orforglipron is a small-molecule pill that is easier to manufacture and package than wildly popular injectable drugs for obesity, such as Lilly's Zepbound and Novo Nordisk's NOVOb.CO rival treatment Wegovy, which are peptide mimics of the appetite-controlling GLP-1 hormone. In the 72-week study of more than 1,600 overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes, those who received the 36-milligram highest dose of orforglipron on average shed 10.5% of their weight, or about 23 pounds (10.43 kg), versus 2.2% for those who received a placebo, achieving the main goal of the trial. Patients on the lowest 6 mg dose of the Lilly drug lost 5.5% of their weight. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2025/08/26/lilly-glp-1-pill-weight-loss/85830686007/ XX An intervention that combined a low-calorie Mediterranean diet and exercise led to less diabetes incidence in older adults. Men had a greater diabetes risk reduction with the intervention than women. The study was based in Spain, and the diet may not be as easy to adhere to in the U.S. Among nearly 5,000 adults with metabolic syndrome and overweight or obesity in the PREDIMED-Plus trial, those who followed this intervention had a 31% lower risk for type 2 diabetes over 6 years relative to those who received only ad libitum Mediterranean diet advice (aHR 0.69, 95% CI 0.59-0.82). the Mediterranean diet focuses on high intake of plant-based foods, moderate consumption of fish, poultry, and dairy with optional red wine, and low intake of red meats, sweets, and sugar-sweetened beverages. Common foods featured in the diet include extra-virgin olive oil, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. However, Sharon Herring, MD, MPH, and Gina Tripicchio, PhD, MSEd, both of Temple University in Philadelphia, pointed out that this study was conducted solely in Spain, and sticking to this type of diet may be more challenging in countries like the U.S. "Participants in the study received extra-virgin olive oil to support adherence and retention; in the United States, prices of extra-virgin olive oil have nearly doubled since 2021 due to a combination of factors including climate change, rising production costs, supply chain disruptions, and now tariffs," they noted in an accompanying editorial. "[T]he large number of dietitian contacts during the study may prove difficult to scale broadly in the United States given challenges with health care access and reimbursement for prevention services." https://www.medpagetoday.com/primarycare/diabetes/117151 XX A group of Canadian researchers has identified an unexpected way to lower blood sugar and protect the liver: by capturing a little-known fuel produced by gut bacteria before it enters the body and causes harm. The findings, published in Cell Metabolism, could open the door to new therapies to treat metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Scientists from McMaster University, Université Laval, and the University of Ottawa discovered that a molecule generated by gut microbes can cross into the bloodstream, where it drives the liver to overproduce glucose and fat. By designing a method to trap this molecule in the gut before it reaches circulation, they achieved striking improvements in blood sugar regulation and fatty liver disease in obese mice. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-discover-a-surprising-new-way-to-fight-diabetes/ XX Dexcom, which specializes in technology for glucose biosensing, will lay off 350 workers, with nearly 200 of them in San Diego, according to the San Diego Union Tribune. The bulk of the local jobs being lost are focused on Dexcom operations and manufacturing. The Dexcom development follows cutbacks to Verily, a life sciences company that is a subsidiary of Alphabet, Google's corporate parent. Verily's work included a project with Dexcom on wearable glucose sensors. CEO Stephen Gillett, in a memo obtained by the publication, said there will be “workforce reductions across Verily.” A representative for Verily confirmed to Business Insider that “we have made the difficult decision to discontinue manufacturing medical devices and will no longer be supporting them going forward.” https://timesofsandiego.com/business/2025/08/27/report-life-sciences-firm-dexcom-lay-off-200-san-diego-workers/ XX Front office changes at Insulet. Eric Benjamin, former chief product and customer experience officer, will take the role of chief operating officer, effective immediately. Manoj Raghunandanan Mu-NOHJ Rug-a-nun-da-nun to the position of chief growth officer, leading Insulet's new growth organization. The appointments are some of CEO Ashley McEvoy's first changes since she was hired in April. The appointments come after McEvoy outlined four priorities for Insulet on an August earnings call: enhancing the company's commercial capabilities, building Insulet's brand and direct-to-consumer capabilities, driving growth outside of the U.S. and accelerating the pace of innovation. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/insulet-eric-benjamin-manoj-raghunandanan-appointments/758668/ XX XX Want to highlight The Children's Diabetes Foundation in Colorado – they held a medal ceremony for patients of the Barbara Davis Center who've lived with Type 1 diabetes for 50 years or more. There were 87 medal recipients in the ceremony including Dana Davis, Executive Director of the Children's Diabetes Foundation and the daughter of the founders of the Barbara Davis Center. Davis shared: "When you got Type1 diabetes in the 70s, they thought you shouldn't have children. They thought you weren't going to live past 30 or 40. It was definitely very different," Davis said. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/barbara-davis-center-celebrates-colorado-type-1-diabetes-patients-milestone/

Designers love talking about empathy… Just not for the people they work with. This week, we talk about why empathy has to extend beyond users and how you can apply familiar UX research techniques to better understand your teammates, PMs, and stakeholdersIf empathy is such a core UX skill, why are so many designers bad at applying it to the people they work with?Designers love talking about empathy for users. But if your research findings are getting ignored or your design recommendations keep getting watered down, it might be time to turn that empathy inward.Thomas and Lawton join me from Drillbit Labs. They both have PhDs in human factors, and they help product teams make smarter decisions with less drama. This week, they make a pretty compelling case: if you're not applying your research mindset to the people you work with, you're not doing your job.We talk about how to use stakeholder interviews, power mapping, one-on-ones, and intentional relationship-building to get unstuck—and what to do when your best ideas are still getting shot down.

Pascal Papathemelis: From Mechanics to Human Factors—How Scrum Masters Grow Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal shares his evolution as a Scrum Master, moving from focusing purely on the mechanics of Scrum to understanding the critical importance of human factors. Early in his career, Pascal worked with teams that struggled to achieve sprint goals, with stories floating from one sprint to another. Through retrospectives and continuous improvement, he learned essential tips like not taking too much into sprints and making stories smaller. However, Pascal's biggest transformation came when he shifted focus to human elements - involving everyone in the team, improving collaboration during refinement, and developing people's skills and attitudes. He emphasizes that every person is an individual with the intention to be their best, and a good Scrum Master must sense when something is wrong and create safe environments for open conversations. Pascal highlights the importance of corridor conversations and coffee machine breakthroughs, especially before COVID, and stresses the need to invest effort in how teams start, using models like Tuckman's team growth model and Diana Larsen's Team Liftoff approach. In this segment, we also refer to the episode with Arne Roock, about the importance of team design and setup in the success of teams. Self-reflection Question: How might shifting your focus from Scrum mechanics to human factors transform the way you support your team's growth and collaboration?

“Voice isn't dead. It's forming a great alliance with AI.” — Julia Fraser, Executive Vice President, Americas, Sinch In a compelling conversation with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, Julia Fraser of Sinch shares a front-line view into the dual revolutions transforming business communications today: RCS (Rich Communication Services) and AI. Representing the Americas for the Sweden-headquartered cloud communications company, Fraser highlights how these technologies are reshaping customer engagement—while keeping human connection at the center. Branded Trust and Richer Messaging Sinch's new research—spanning nearly 3,000 consumers and over 1,600 business leaders—shows that 54% of consumers prefer RCS over SMS/MMS, with 59% calling it a “game changer.” Fraser explains how branded and verified RCS messages not only improve trust and open rates, but also drive tangible results like abandoned cart recoveries. “When a consumer knows the message is really from their bank or retailer, they're more likely to act,” Fraser notes. AI-Powered Personalization, Real-Time Care The discussion dives deep into how AI enhances everything from marketing to customer care. Whether it's a personalized retail offer or a voicebot that helps resolve flight delays or financial fraud, AI is helping organizations anticipate needs and respond quickly. “AI isn't something to fear,” Fraser stresses. “It drives productivity and deeper personalization—across all generations.” Voice + AI = The Future Despite predictions that voice is on its way out, Fraser says the opposite is true—especially in financial services and healthcare. Sinch's data shows that 63% of businesses plan to adopt voice AI bots this year, with that figure rising to 86% in financial services. Whether it's a late flight, a blocked card, or a bereavement call, voice remains critical—and AI makes it faster, smarter, and more empathetic. Human-Centered Design From seamless triage in healthcare to respectful handling of debt collection, Fraser emphasizes the need to know when to hand a conversation off from a bot to a human. “It's not just about resolution. It's about doing so with trust, security, and empathy.” Four Pillars of Communication Success Sinch organizes its customer communication strategy around four pillars: Keep customers informed Keep customers safe Keep customers happy Drive engagement and loyalty through personalization And RCS and AI—working together—power all four.
