Was machen erfolgreiche Nachhaltigkeitspioniere anders? Bei der Suche nach Antworten stößt Podcast Host Zackes nicht auf neueste Technologien oder clevere Managementansätze, sondern auf die Kraft der innersten Überzeugung. Sein Gast, Yvonne Zwick arbeitet nicht nur mit den führenden nachhaltigen Unternehmer*innen Deutschlands, sondern ist auch Theologin. Eine passende Kombination, denn das professionelle Arbeiten mit harten Klimafakten und drohendem ökologischen Kollaps kann einen schon mal den Glauben an die Zukunft verlieren lassen. Für die erfolgreiche Transformation unserer Unternehmen brauchen wir die tiefe Überzeugung der Machbarkeit. Erst dann entsteht die Kraft, die Menschen in der Organisation mitzuziehen und die konkreten unternehmerischen Schritte mutig umzusetzen. Führungskräfte und Nachhaltigkeitsmanager bekommen in dieser Folge Anregungen für entscheidende Fragen: ✅ Welches Mindset haben Sustainability-Pioniere? ✅ Wie sorgen wir für ein stabiles Fundament für unsere Vision? ✅ Wie lassen wir Menschen ihre Überzeugung und ihren Glauben vereinen sie aber dennoch für eine gemeinsame Mission? Eine spannende Folge für alle Menschen, die Nachhaltigkeit nicht nur als regulative Anforderung, sondern als Grundlage für unsere Zukunft verstehen. Yvonne erklärt zudem, wie eigentlich die christliche Kirche auf das Thema Nachhaltigkeit schaut. Was das Prinzip der Retinität bedeutet. Und wo sie ihre eigene Kirche kritisch sieht. ️⏱️ Kapitel: (00:03:16) Ist eh zu spät - Nachhaltigkeit in der Sinnkrise? (00:05:49) Das Pionier-Mindset und heitere Gelassenheit. (00:13:30) Der Business Case hinter Haltung und Werten. (00:19:35) Anspruch vs Umsetzung: Kirche und Nachhaltigkeit. (00:26:41) Visionen müssen Pluralismus aushalten. (00:34:24) Christen gegen die CSDDD - geht das?! (00:40:59) Der Mere Exposure Effekt - Transformation braucht stete Predigt. (00:43:15) Tools für Führungskräfte: IDGs und Co. (00:49:16) Klimawissen: Das Retinitätsprinzip. Über Yvonne Zwick: Yvonne ist Vorsitzende von B.A.U.M. e.V. dem Bundesarbeitskreis für umweltbewusstes Management. Hinter dem Verein stehen seit 1984 bereits Unternehmer*innen, die Nachhaltigkeit wegweisend umsetzen wollen. Zudem war sie 16 Jahre lang beim RNE. Der Rat für nachhaltige Entwicklung ist das wichtigste deutsche Gremium für den politischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskurs zu Nachhaltigkeitsfragen. Sie leitete dort das Büro für den DNK - den deutschen Nachhaltigkeitskodex.

Der Pionier und internationale Experte für Nachhaltigkeit und Innovation, Ralph Thurm, hat die Entwicklung der Nachhaltigkeitsstandards mit geprägt. Aber er sagt: Aktuell versagen die etablierten ESG-Standards auf fatale Weise. In dieser Folge nehmen Dich Ralph und Podcast Host Zackes mit auf eine Reise zu den wichtigsten Nachhaltigkeitsprinzipien und was diese in der strategischen Anwendung bedeuten. Zum ersten Mal in Gewinne Zukunft geht es auch um das Thema Postwachstumsgesellschaft. Ralph erläutert, warum er parallel zu kontextbasierter Nachhaltigkeit bereits an Strategien zu einer Post Collapse Readiness arbeitet. Die Logik dahinter: Wenn wir alle relevanten Kipppunkte überschritten haben, wie bereiten wir unsere Unternehmen und Gesellschaft auf eine Welt mit den einhergehenden Konsequenzen vor? Vorab erklärt Ralph die wichtigsten Prinzipien der Nachhaltigkeit: Worauf kommt es beim Kernprinzip der Nachhaltigkeit der Intra- und Intergenerational Equity an? Nach dieser Folge kennst Du die vier essenziellen Kriterien nachhaltiger Unternehmensstrategien: 1. Nachhaltigkeitskontext 2. Schwellenwerte und Allokationen 3. Stakeholder Inclusiveness 4. Vollständigkeit Da bisherige Standards diese nicht abdecken, arbeitet die von ihm mitgegründete Plattform r3.0 zum Beispiel mit den UN SDPI, den UN Sustainable Development Performance Indicators. Ganz persönlich geht Ralph darauf ein, wie er für sich Wirksamkeit angesichts eines Kollapsszenarios gefunden hat. Welche Leadership-Anforderungen leiten sich für ihn daraus ab und welche strategischen Fragen für Unternehmen? ⏱️ Agenda: (00:02:36) Motiviert am Ziel vorbei: Das läuft mit den ESG-Standards schief. (00:18:40) Pflichtwissen: Die vier Prinzipien der Nachhaltigkeit. (00:31:36) 9 Planetare Grenzen und 21 Kipppunkte - wo stehen wir aktuell? (00:38:10) Ökologischer Kollaps? Warum Ralph Post-Collapse-Readiness sinnvoll findet. (00:47:53) Die wichtigsten Leadership-Qualitäten der Zukunft. (00:51:05) Ist die regenerativ-distributive Ökonomie eine Lösung? (00:59:57) Die UN SDPI - die UN Sustainable Development Performance Indicators. (01:06:51) Wie die GLS Bank die UN SDPI anwendet. Über Ralph Thurm: Ralph ist der Gründer von A|HEAD|ahead, Mitgründer von r3.0 & Geschäftsführer bei OnCommons gGmbH. In seiner jahrzehntelangen Arbeit hat er das Thema Nachhaltigkeit unter anderem bei Siemens, Deloitte und dem Nachhaltigkeitsstandard GRI vorangetrieben. Auf der Plattform von r3.0 und Medium findest Du zahlreiche kostenfreie Arbeitsmaterialien und Blueprints. Zudem empfehlen wir den LinkedIn-Newsletter von Ralph: The Lighthouse Keeper.

More than giving us answers and ideas in seconds after typing in our prompts, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is increasingly appreciated as a tool that can positively impact businesses. According to the latest study by the IBM Institute for Business Value entitled, “Forging the future of AI: Women can take the lead” genAI, alongside disrupting workflows, gives women "a once-in-a-career opportunity to gain equal footing.” In this special edition of BusinessWorld B-Side, in partnership with IBM Philippines, Commercial Territory Sales Leader Christine Llanto-Ravelo explores the unique opportunities genAI opens to women in workplaces and boardrooms.

'Die EU Taxonomie? Betrifft doch nur Finanzakteure!' Deutsche Unternehmen unterschätzen oft, dass sie bald auch über ihre EU Taxonomiekonformität berichten müssen. Der Aufwand ist groß. Aber wer es schnell angeht, dem winken wirtschaftliche Vorteile. Manch ganz schnelle Mittelständler nutzen die Taxonomie bereits, um neue Marktanteile zu erobern und neue Produkte zu entwickeln. Die zwei Gäste Patricia und Oliver erklären Podcast-Host Zackes im Detail, was die EU Taxonomie für deutsche Unternehmen bedeutet. Patricia beleuchtet die strategische Relevanz für das Management. Und Oliver berichtet darüber, wie sich der deutsche Mittelständler TRILUX der Aufgabe angenommen hat. Eine wertvolle Folge für alle, die gerade die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie und CSRD Compliance in ihrem Unternehmen umsetzen. Nach dieser Folge kennst Du: ✅ Das 1X1 der EU Taxonomie - alle relevanten Infos zur Timeline und zum Reporting. ✅ Diese vier Schritte bringen Dich im Rahmen des CSRD-Reporting ans Ziel. ✅ So verwandelst Du die EU Taxonomie in einen Wettbewerbsvorteil. Dabei geht es tief in Details zu den Unterschieden der EU Taxonomie für Finanzakteure und Unternehmen der Realwirtschaft. Während erstere über ihre Green Asset Ratio (GAR) berichten, müssen letztere in drei Kategorien (Capex, Opex und Umsatz) Auskunft geben. Patricia und Oliver erklären zudem den entscheidenden Unterschied zwischen der EU Taxonomie Fähigkeit und Konformität und wie man sich mit den technischen Kriterien zurechtfindet. Ein echter Deep Dive für Sustainability Professionals!

Consumers Crave AI with Shopping But Want More Control Over How Companies Use Their Data!   The IBM Institute for Business Value, decided to survey 20,000 consumers across 26 countries on their digital habits, their use of AI and generative AI, and their expectations for brands. So what were the results of the survey? I invited the big IBM retail guy, Joe Dittmar, to join me to share what they found out.  Let's just say, most consumers want to receive information, advertisements, and offerings from stores that are relevant to their specific interests, but a whole bunch say they really really want more control over how companies use their data.  Joe Dittmar leads IBM's Retail Industry across the company's portfolio which includes Grocery, Department, Warehouse, Specialty, Discount, Convenience, Restaurants, and Online Retailers.   He shared that consumers are unsatisfied with both in-store (9% satisfaction) and online (14% satisfaction) experiences. As a consumer I'm obviously not alone being uncomfortable with a 100 follow up marketing emails from a company I've bought just one pair of pants from and had to return because they didn't fit right.  Joe said, AI's making an effort to tailor communication more effectively to individual preferences. He also explained that retailers are currently managing inventory conservatively, leading to less variety in stores—a strategy resulting from the need to reduce inventory post-COVID.  The opportunity for retailers he said, is to improve customer experience by integrating online options when in-store selections are limited.  IBM has been a longstanding participant in the retail industry, inventing the cash register and credit card in case you didn't know that. Now they are helping iconic brands leverage AI to improve operational efficiencies.  The survey showed that consumers are more open to adopting AI than expected, including interacting with virtual agents that can fast-track customers to human agents based on their tone and urgency. ( Wow, now I don't feel so bad about occasionally losing it and yelling… ‘Give Me a Human!' LOL) Good insight by Joe and IBM! Aspiring retail talent can learn from their expertise.   About Joe Dittmar:  Joe is known for helping retail and consumer product clients worldwide to transform their business models and consumer-facing activities. He is a leader in implementing complex business and technology solutions that drive improved performance.In 2022, Joe was honored with IBM's highest industry designation, Distinguished Industry Leader, for his contributions to innovation in the industry and impact on IBM's clients throughout his career. Joe serves on various industry advisory boards including the National Retail Federation Board of Directors. He actively mentors aspiring retail talent around the world.

In this engaging podcast episode hosted by Paolo Sironi, and joined by Bruno Macedo and Natasa Kyprianidou the discussion delved into the dynamic landscape of financial technology.

Davos 2024 took center stage, emphasizing generative AI regulation, climate change, and conflict as pivotal topics in elite discussions. The episode transitioned to legal matters, touching on the New York Times' lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement, raising questions about AI tools using content without permission. Temenos' Bruno Macedo contributed to the conversation with revelations about how Generative AI is poised to positively transform the face of banking. Samsung's Galaxy S24 Series ushered in a new era of Mobile AI, promising barrier-free communication, creativity, and endless possibilities. The guests shared their "WOW moments," highlighting the rise of Chief Product Officers in Financial Services and the potential impact of splitting savings optimally.

This week on the GovNavigators Podcast, Robert and Adam discuss Speaker McCarthy's triumph taking all night to pass a bill that will never become law and OPM's release of its new data strategy. Also, former Federal CIO Tony Scott joins to talk about the importance of cyber resiliency, the topic of a recent report from the IBM Center for the Business of Government. Oh, and one more thing - be sure to listen to the end to hear the first (but likely not the last) visit from the Office of Standards to the podcast.More about the ReportPreparing the Government for Future Shocks is a new report written by Tony Scott in collaboration with the IBM Center for the Business of Government, the IBM Institute for Business Value, the National Academy of Public Administration, and the Centro Studi Americani.  The report outlines four action steps designed to help build cyber resiliency that resulted from two international round-table discussions of experts.

The IBM Institute of Business Value report, 2023 Global Outlook for Banking and Financial Markets, paints three themes facing banks and financial markets: (1) an uncertain world calls for financial services institutions that can flex as needed; (2) healthier financial performance depends, in part, on business and technology leaders who function as coequals; and (3) the next systemic crisis could be an operational one.On the fintech side, the bank runs at Silicon Bank Valley and Silvergate Bank and the closure of Signature Bank by regulators suggests not all is rosy for those in the fintech sector as investors put greater scrutiny on fintechs.On the health and wellness front, the longevity of the pandemic in modern times may have sparked a renewed emphasis on personal well-being, and just as important, the willingness of individuals to use digital technologies to enable this newfound interest.AGBA describes itself as a "one-of-a-kind wealth and health platform" whose ambition is to help people enjoy wealth and health with the ease they deserve. FutureCIO spoke to AGBA Group Chief Information Officer, Arthur Wong, for his take on the office of the CIO can lead the charge in enabling organisations to lead the transformation post-pandemic.Click on the podchat player to understand how as CIO, Wong is leading the transformation journey of the group to make sure that the company is able to deliver the services, mostly sourced from its partner network, to the intended consumers of the service. 1.                   Please describe the business of AGBA. 2.                   As the Group CIO, can you elaborate what role you are playing to support the overall objectives of AGBA.3.                   Which development (business, economic, socio-political) has had the most significant impact on the role of the CIO since 2020?4.                   In 2023, what would be your top goals of the office as the CIO?5.                   What needs to happen for the CIO to be effective in his/her role?a.       What remains the top challenges for CIOs in 2023?6.                   What is your advice for those wishing to pursue a career leading to a CIO?7.                   Can you share a bit what AGBA fintech ecosystem is comprising and why is it so unique and powerful in the market?

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  I'm Wendy Grounds, and here in the studio with me is Bill Yates. So we want to take a moment to say thank you to our listeners who reach out to us and leave comments on our website or on social media.  We love hearing from you, and we always appreciate your positive ratings and reviews on whichever podcast listening app you use. Today we're talking about a topic we've not addressed before, and we're very excited to dig into it.  Our guest is Laurence Prusak, and Larry has been studying knowledge and learning for the past 30 years.  He has been a consultant in these areas for Mercer and a co-founder for Ernst & Young Center for Business Value.  He's the founder and director of the IBM Institute for Knowledge Management and co-founder of the Babson College Working Knowledge Research Program.  He's been a senior consultant for NASA, as well as teaching in over 40 universities.  He has also recently taught at Columbia University's program on information and knowledge, and he has co-authored 11 books. BILL YATES:  Wendy, we got this recommendation from Stephen Townsend to reach out to Larry and talk with him.  One of the books that Larry recently worked on is called “The Smart Mission:  NASA's Lessons for Managing Knowledge, People, and Projects.”  So as we get into this topic, I think project managers will appreciate the depth of Larry's knowledge on knowledge management. WENDY GROUNDS:  Hi, Larry.  Welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest today. LARRY PRUSAK:  You're welcome. A Definition of Knowledge  WENDY GROUNDS:  So we're going to be talking knowledge management, which is a new topic for us on our podcast.  And we're very excited that we have you with us.  Before we begin, could you give us your definition of knowledge? LARRY PRUSAK:  It's what a knowledgeable person knows.  Think about, if you go to a dentist, a dentist knows how to fix your teeth.  If he wasn't knowledgeable, you wouldn't be going to him.  We're talking about working knowledge, the knowledge that allows people to do things.  There's other sorts of knowledge.  There's religious knowledge, aesthetic knowledge, all sorts of things.  But we're talking about the knowledge that allows you to do something, and do it well.  Information is not knowledge.  Knowledge isn't data.

In 1987, the United Nations Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” How far we have come; and how far we have yet to go. In a recent IBM Institute for Business Value study, almost half of CEOs indicate that increasing sustainability is one of the highest priorities for their organization in the next 2 to 3 years. However, despite the enthusiasm, they are encountering significant obstacles, with 57% of CEOs identifying difficulty clearly defining and measuring ROI and economic benefits as one of the greatest challenges to achieving sustainability objectives. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Andy Barnes, Executive IT Architect and Member of the IBM Academy of Technology, on IBM's efforts in championing sustainability and responsible computing. Green computing (or Green IT) is an essential enabler in helping organizations meet their sustainability goals. The time to act is now.

In this episode I share research and data that I've been gathering, which shows that large numbers of death planners care about having more eco-conscious and green options in death care. We look at studies from Kates Boylston Publications, IBM Institute for Business Value, Passare, and Choice Mutual Insurance that break down what death planners care about, how they make choices, and what they will look for in the future. Spoiler alert: the demand for eco-conscious death care options is only going to grow! I also introduce a huge research project I undertook in 2022 called The Real Eco-Impact of Disposition Methods that reveals the total carbon footprint of the top five most common body disposition methods in the US today, as well as how to make the most harmful ones more environmentally friendly. I'll be releasing that research on this podcast in a series over the next few weeks.

It's certain that thought leadership brings great value to an organization, but how do you calculate the actual ROI of your thought leadership investment? To demystify the ROI of thought leadership, I've invited Cindy Anderson and Anthony Marshall to join me for a discussion. Cindy Anderson is the Global Lead for Thought Leadership Engagement and Eminence, and Anthony Marshall is the Senior Research Director for Thought Leadership, both from the IBM Institute for Business Value.  In this episode, we talk about the IBM Institute for Business Value's 20 year history delivering thought-provoking insights to business leaders about emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges. Their thought leadership reports offer prescriptive recommendations to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities, and to help determine future organizational success. Since 2004, they have conducted groundbreaking surveys, growing from 300 CEO respondents to more than 3000. Due to the long history of the survey, they have a long horizon of data to track global changes in the CEO role, responsibilities, and best practices.    Recently, Cindy and Anthony lead a double blind survey of CEOs, seeking to discover the ROI of thought leadership. The survey included questions on thought leadership consumption, purchasing decisions, and more, all designed to shape insight on the effects of thought leadership, and guide CEO spending. The result was shocking! The data showed that the ROI was 156%, more than 16 times a typical marketing campaign's effectiveness. We wrap up the conversation discussing how Cindy and Anthony intend to tell the story of their research. They are writing a book which will be published in 2023, including survey data, information captured in follow-ups, the calculations used, and even a tool that companies can use to calculate their own thought leadership ROI! If you've ever tried to measure the impact of your org's thought leadership investment, this is a critical episode. Don't miss it! Three Key Takeaways: * Long-term surveys provide essential longitudinal data, showing change over time and tracking trends that underline permanent global shifts. * In order for thought leadership to flourish in an organization there needs to be an immense level of support from the CEOs - the TL team can't do it alone! * CEOs spend an average of 2 hours a week consuming thought leadership. To keep them engaged, you need to produce content that is rigorous, robust, and relevant.

Our guest on this week's episode is  Troy Basso, VP, Fleet Maintenance at Quantix.  We have witnessed the spike in diesel fuel prices over the past year, and those prices and a desire to turn to more environmentally-friendly fuels have led some companies to move to electric vehicles for their fleets. What does it take to transition from diesel to electric power for a fleet's trucks? Our guest shares what his company has done to add its first electric trucks to its current fleet. Companies continue to  embrace new technologies to counter some of the supply chain stressors they are feeling. Supply chain professionals are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to navigate those challenges and “future-proof” their companies' supply chains. This is according to a recent IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) survey of more than 1,500 chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) and chief operating officers (COOs).  We discuss some of the interesting details from the report.Last week the Senate approved a new administrator for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA.

Infrastructure is changing as enterprises accelerate digital transformation. In a cloud-first and increasingly automated world, infrastructure, and operations (I&O) leaders must rethink how infrastructures are utilized and managed. “As cloud computing continues to grow, application portfolios are becoming more diverse and more hybrid,” says Thomas Bittman, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. “Strategic infrastructure standardization, modernization and automation efforts will be critical for successful digital transformation.”In this further acceleration of the cloudification of business applications supporting back-end infrastructure, how should CIOs go about prioritising automation strategies?In this PodChats for FutureCIO, Allan Teng, founder and managing director, Workato, APJ, shares his perspective on the topic.1.       According to the IBM Institute for Business Value, globally CIOs report between 20% to 40% of organisational business processes have been automated. In Asia, to what extent do you believe automation has changed how business processes are handled?2.       To meet the drive to further transform the business, what areas of the business should the CIO prioritise when it comes to automation?3.       In support of digital transformation, which should take priority: automation or integration?a.       How does leadership determine which is the best option for them?b.       For the CIO, how does a CIO build a business case for an integration-led automation strategy?c.       What challenges must CIOs be ready in pursuing an integration-led automation strategy?d.       What skills will be needed to execute an integration-led automation strategy?4.       To what extent is Workato involved in automation?5.       To close, how do you see automation in 2022?

Kattie and Mila discuss why, in 2021, we are still talking about the lack of women, and especially women of color, in senior leadership roles in businesses and organizations.  Especially when we see more and more research showing that the stylistic behaviors and values that women leaders bring to the table tend to be those that are highly valued by employees.Shared on this episode: IBM Institute for Business Value Study Pixar's "Purl" Pixar's Kristen Lester Interview McKinsey: "One is the loneliest number" LeanIn: Women in the Workplace 2020 McKinsey: "Why Diversity Matters" Forbes: "How Women Leaders Are Building Better Workplaces" Did You Know:  "The Broken Rung" LeanIn: Women in the Workplace 2019 Forbes: "How to Fix the Broken Rung" by Shelley Zalis It Doesn't All Suck:  Equality Can't Wait WinnersNYTimes: Equality Can't Wait WinnersHouse of ApisInstagramTwitterFacebookLinkedInCredits:Hosts:  Mila Aleman and Kattie CapozzaMusic: Hussa Al HumaidhiSound Effects: Zapsplat

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Interview Series, I'm joined by Chad Andrews, the Global Leader for Telecom, Media and Entertainment at the IBM Institute for Business Value. Our conversation today focuses on the changes 5G and edge computing will bring to our digital economy, and we also take a look at IBM Institute for Business Value's recent study The End of Communications Services as We Know Them? That is a bold survey headline, but for those of us in the industry, we know the impact that 5G and edge computing will have on the digital economy moving forward will be disruptive to say the least. And I know that sentiment was echoed in IBM's findings in the survey.  The End of Communications Services as We Know Them? digs deeper into a trend we've all been seeing – which is that communication service providers will miss out on the value that 5G and edge computing can provide unless they adapt today. The IBM study surveyed 500 global telecommunications executives in 21 countries — so it's a decent sample set that gives some insight into where the industry is headed. Chad and I discussed some of the findings of the report. These include: For CSPs to find true value in 5G and edge computing, they must adopt cloud native digital services, applications, and solutions. Along with cloud native platforms and applications, CSPs will need to make strategic operational decisions in order to compete long-term against cloud native companies. Platforms that are already established at scale will super the hypergrowth of the decade. We also discussed some of the reasons the IBM Institute for Business Value is predicting the global digital economy will grow two to three times this decade, as well as the implications this will have on businesses across different sectors. The graphic below is from The End of Communications Services as We Know Them?

In this newest episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, analysts Ron Westfall and Shelly Kramer discuss Rakuten's moves in the 5G market and how the company is essentially throwing down the gauntlet for the rest of the CSP ecosystem. In this conversation, we cover the benefits of the early mover advantage for CSPs, along with the implications for the Open RAN segment and the overall 5G market developments of the last week. Some of the things we touched in this 5G-focused webcast included: Why Rakuten's acquisition of $1B acquisition of Altiostar is a 5G game changer. Rakuten is raising the competitive stakes across the entire 5G ecosystem. With this $1 billion acquisition of an Open RAN specialist, Rakuten is providing a template for how Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can gain a strategic competitive edge in the cloud-based 5G ecosystem – own more of the software assets key to long-term 5G build and innovation. Some highlights from the research out of IBM's Institute for Business Value (presented in a recent episode of our show) on the serious advantages that exist for fast-moving CSPs in the current market. Find the research report from IBM Institute for Business Value here: The end of communications services as we know them, focused on how 5G and edge will help define who wins in the booming digital economy The strategic impact on the overall Open RAN market segment of Altiostar agreeing to merge with Rakuten to lock-in its long-term competitiveness. As an independent Open RAN supplier, Altiostar was more vulnerable to any delays in CSP deployment of Open RAN technology as well as increasing pressure from incumbent RAN players, such as Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung, increasing their targeting of the Open RAN space. How the Rakuten acquisition of Altiostar epitomizes the approach many CSPs should adopt, which is the strategic acquisition of telco-specific and cloud-specific software assets. The market significance of Rakuten and 1&1 AG partnering to build Germany's fourth mobile network based on a fully virtualized mobile network using Open RAN technology. Why the formation of the Rakuten Symphony unit, combining Rakuten Communications Platform (RCP), Open RAN software, and Rakuten's international telco solutions, can accelerate ecosystem adoption of Open RAN and Open 5G technology.

For this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, I am joined by my colleague, fellow analyst ,and founding partner, Shelly Kramer, for a conversation about recent developments in the 5G market including key Mobile World Congress 2021 developments. In this episode, we covered: The expansion of the alliance between Ericsson and Google Cloud and why it improves Ericsson's 5G proposition and overall partnership momentum in the 5G space. Predictions from the IBM Institute for Business Value on how 5G and edge computing will help redefine the coming years, and some key data points from their recent study, “The end of communications services as we know them?” focused on 5G and edge and what's ahead for CSPs. How strategic partnerships are playing a key role for telcos and their ability to both embrace rapid transformation and monetize their investments in 5G. Qualcomm and Capgemini prudently used the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2021 event to promote their partnership aimed at supporting and powering 5G private network builds. The alliance is emphasizing Capgemini's systems integrator (SI) portfolio and expertise playing a key role in using Qualcomm's 5G Private network system to enable customer business transformation as well as leveraging 5G ecosystem resources to benefit the duo's private network mission. Netcracker, NEC, and AWS are demonstrating why the 5G Core (5GC) is ready for a larger role in supporting and scaling monetized 5G services. Already NEC is deploying its 5G (and 4G) Mobile Core Solution on AWS across multiple operator production networks in Japan. This is key, as NEC is now prepared to assist operators in their quest to monetize 5G services, primarily through innovative B2X offerings.

The pandemic disrupted the entire planet, changing consumer behavior, altering business and government assumptions, and dramatically impacting business plans. The future is still unclear, but the opportunities (and risks) are immense. What lies ahead will define winners and losers. From adoption of new technologies to a redefined future of work, and new innovation culture, digital banking transformation will require a paradigm shift in leadership thinking and a new level of agility. Our guest is Paolo Sironi, Global Research Leader for Banking and Finance at the IBM Institute for Business Value. We discuss how financial institutions will need to explore a new normal, which may require continual reinvention of business models and solutions. This Episode of Banking Transformed is Sponsored by Microsoft: See how Microsoft can help to unlock new opportunities at speed through innovative business models, deliver differentiated customer experiences across channels, products and services, and redefine new ways of working.

Nachhaltigkeit ist ein sehr relevantes Thema, mit dem sich immer mehr Verbraucher beschäftigen. Die Blockchain-Technologie kann Produktions- und Lieferprozesse in der Textilindustrie für die Verbraucher transparenter machen, so dass sie erfahren, ob ein Pulli oder eine Hose nachhaltig und fair hergestellt wurden. Laut einer globalen Studie des IBM Institute for Business Value geben 77% der Verbraucher an, dass Nachhaltigkeit für sie wichtig ist. Und es gibt noch weiteres Potenzial, um mit Hilfe von Blockchain Prozesse in der Textilbranche nachhaltiger und effizienter zu gestalten. Dr. Stefan Rennicke, Founder bei KAYA&KATO und Christian Schultze-Wolters, Geschäftsbereichsleiter IBM Blockchain Solutions DACH bei IBM erläutern im Livestudio das Thema Transparenz und Nachhaltigkeit und die Zusammenarbeit von KAYA&KATO und IBM für eine transparente Lieferkette. IBM besitzt umfassende Erfahrung im Aufbau von Lösungen und Ökosystemen auf Basis der Blockchain, wie das Beispiel FoodTrust zeigt. Auch beim Thema Verpackung ist Nachhaltigkeit ein Thema – aber auch nachhaltige Produktion im Sinne von verlässlicher Ressourcenplanung und Ausfallsicherheit spielt eine Rolle. Mit Predictive Maintenance können Maschinen und Anlagen vorausschauend gewartet werden, um Ausfallzeiten niedrig zu halten und die Effektivität der Maschinen zu optimieren. Dabei helfen Daten, die gezielt ausgewertet werden, um eine konkretere Aussage zu erhalten, wann es zum Beispiel zu einer Wartung kommen soll. Wie Full Predictive Maintenance, die mit künstlicher Intelligenz arbeitet funktioniert, erfahren die Zuhörer von Dr. Marius Grathwohl, Vice President Digital Products and Transformation bei MULTIVAC. Außerdem spricht er über die Partnerschaft von IBM und MULTIVAC.

What could radical transparency do for our financial ecosystem? How do we create a world that is built on fundamental uncertainty, that adapts to our needs rather than determining them for us?  On our fourth episode of Mr. Open Banking, Eyal is joined by Paolo Sironi, Global Research Leader Banking and Financial Markets, IBM Institute for Business Value  and author of “Financial Market Transparency” and “FinTech Innovation”. By the end of this episode, you will understand the driving philosophical forces behind the open banking movement and gain a big picture understanding of what our financial landscape could look like with and without open banking. Specifically, Paolo and Eyal discuss:How to build a system that is better tailored to our behaviour as human beings;How the economy can better withstand the shocks of uncertain times;Why “radical transparency” is vital for our evolving financial ecosystem; The role of fundamental uncertainty in continually volatile environments; The underlying philosophy of open banking as a whole. To learn more about Paolo, check out the following: Website: http://www.thepsironi.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thepsironiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thepsironi/

In a study conducted by IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) in cooperation with Oxford Economics, only 9% of C-Suite executives were dubbed as ‘Torchbearers’. This is a term for those who stood out as understanding that transparency, reciprocity and accountability are critical ingredients for earning trust among key stakeholders. Leaders that leverage data to build customer trust, create cultures of data-based decision makers and are adept at sharing data with ecosystem partners can gain a competitive edge. We speak to Catherine Lian, Managing Director of IBM Malaysia on the foundation of being a ‘torchbearer’.

Lyft, Uber and Airbnb depend on travel, vacations and gatherings, but not so much when most of the world is staying home.. New studies by users are not promising. Studies by CarGurus and the IBM Institute for Business Value that together surveyed roughly 26,000 American adults found that around half have developed a distrust for ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. Thirty-nine percent of the former's 722 respondents said they plan to use less or no ride-shares whatsoever from here on out, and more than half of the latter's 25,000-plus respondents said similar. The IBM survey also found that 24 percent will cease using ride share-adjacent services like taxis, even though taxis may be less than a hundredth as germy your average Uber according to a 2019 study.

Welcome Loyal listeners in today's episode of the loyalty minute we're going to be talking about What Gen Z shoppers really want. In a global study co-sponsored by the IBM Institute of Business Value and the National Retail Federation, they examined what this youngest generation considers to be “retail essentials” as well as what delights and engages them. The study, based on a global survey of 15,600 Gen Zers between the ages of 13 and 21, explores Gen Z's expectations for the retail environment, their usage and attitudes toward technology and what customization means for them. One finding in particular was rather interesting, Three times as many Gen Zers shop in a store most of the time compared to online. I would say it's mainly because these don't have the means to buy online. The report is chock full of great infographics that are worth a look… I know that does not help much when you're listening to a podcast, but I will put a link to the study and the infographics in the show notes. https://nrf.com/research/what-do-gen-z-shoppers-really-want To learn more about this study and other great customer loyalty insights, please visit theloyaltyminute.com Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rob-gallo/message

Women are taught at a young age to be alert and aware in the real world, but now are learning to be more concerned with the data they are sharing online too. With women-centric apps including period and pregnancy trackers sharing sensitive data with Facebook or even employers, it is no surprise that women are concerned with their data privacy. In fact, according to a recent IBM survey conducted by The Harris Poll, 83% of women feel it's important to be able to opt-out of having their data shared with third parties, while only 69% of males say the same. Other interesting highlights from the report 82% of females say it's important companies use encryption and identity theft protection security measures; 72% of males say the same 77% of female say it's important to have the ability to fully take back or retrieve personal data; 68% of males say the same 88% of females are concerned that their pictures shared on social media are compromised; 70% of males say the same 95% of females are concerned that their medical history is compromised; 86% of males say the same I invited IBM's CTO of Data Privacy. Cindy Compert onto the podcast to discuss the survey. We also discuss why consumer apps should be focusing on women's concerns over data privacy. Cindy is a technical visionary driven by wanting to make a difference around the world, advancing the health, safety, and well-being of others. She believes that Data Security and Privacy are key enablers to realizing the benefits of the digital and Cognitive enterprise. Cindy is also an active member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), a Certified Information Privacy Manager/Certified Information Privacy Technologist, and co-author of “Information Governance Principles and Practices for a Big Data Landscape”.
