Key Takeaways: Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform In "Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform", Joe Lynch and Shane Hagen, Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo, discuss the necessity of transitioning from traditional EDI to a unified platform for strategic supply chain orchestration and superior visibility. The Imperative for Seamless System Connectivity The penalty for not connecting internal systems directly to external business partners is severe: it forces manual entry, leading to processes that are time-consuming, slow, unreliable, and prone to error. Organizations must expect their EDI platform to eliminate this manual burden and ensure robust, automated data exchange. Shift from Transaction Processing to Supply Chain Orchestration Expect your platform to evolve beyond simple data exchange to become a strategic tool for supply chain orchestration. Modern cloud platforms, like Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC), manage, operate, and optimize critical B2B enterprise data movement across the entire network, driving strategic business outcomes. Enabling Profitable Partner Relationships Through Speed Working with a powerful integration platform like Cleo is the key to accelerating growth. It directly enables companies to onboard new customers, suppliers, and business partners significantly faster, which is foundational to building more prosperous, high-velocity relationships. Hybrid Integration is the New Standard (API + EDI) The complexities of the modern supply chain require integration solutions that seamlessly blend traditional EDI with contemporary API patterns. A high-value platform must provide a unified environment for designing complex, end-to-end workflows that leverage both types of connectivity. Comprehensive Visibility Across All Data Streams True operational control requires end-to-end integration visibility across every data flow—API, EDI, and non-EDI. This holistic view gives technical and business users the confidence to solve complex supply-chain challenges by quickly identifying and resolving any bottlenecks. Bridging the Gap Between Business Strategy and Technical Execution A modern EDI platform must act as the essential link between ambitious business objectives (like accelerated revenue and growth) and the technical execution required to meet them. Guest experts, like Shane Hagen, are relied upon to translate complex requirements into measurable business value. Strategic Partnerships Drive Industry Focus (The Trimble Example) Expect your integration provider to have deep, strategic alliances within key industries. Cleo's position as a proud Trimble partner highlights its experience in solving complex integration challenges for Trimble customers and demonstrates its specialized focus on critical industry ecosystems.

Canada's economic future increasingly hinges on a deceptively simple question: how free is trade within Canada itself?For decades, economists and policymakers have warned that Canada's internal market—fragmented by duplicative rules, sector-specific carve-outs, and a thicket of provincial exceptions—acts as a drag on growth and competitiveness. Even the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, heralded as a breakthrough, is riddled with loopholes.To dig deeper, Inside Policy Talks brings together legal scholar Paul Daly and MLI senior fellow Mark Mancini for a conversation with Peter Copeland, MLI's deputy director of domestic policy.Daly explains the central irony: removing regulatory barriers requires a mechanism with real authority to do it. Without a body empowered by both Parliament and the provinces, “what you're going to get is what we have, which is a mosaic of different provisions.” Canada needs a national coordinating agency with the power to set standards, enforce mutual recognition, harmonize where necessary, and “raise [barriers] to the ground,” as Daly puts it. Mancini agrees, stressing that skepticism toward new agencies is understandable—but the status quo simply cannot solve the problem. This wouldn't be “an agency for the sake of an agency,” but an institution designed to tackle a precise challenge: the inability of governments to coordinate regulatory reform on their own. With nationwide buy-in, such a body could finally move Canada beyond one-off bilateral deals toward a genuinely integrated economic union. Together, Daly and Mancini make the case that fixing Canada's internal trade system is not a technocratic curiosity—it's a national economic imperative.

Join the Mitchell Institute as Col. Jen “Boots” Reeves, USAF (Ret.) releases her latest policy paper outlining why space superiority is foundational to America's ability to fight and win. Achieving this will demand that the other services support the Space Force and Space Command, which is a departure from the traditional notion of spacepower acting to empower terrestrial actions. This necessary evolution has major implications when it comes to strategy, operational concepts, command relations, technology investments, and basic warfighting attitudes. Joining the discussion is Maj. Gen. Brook “Tank” Leonard, USAF (Ret.), the inaugural Chief of Staff of U.S. Space Command. This is a must see deep-dive on the institutional reforms, operational changes, cultural shifts, and new technologies required to achieve space superiority through cross-domain operations.

In the most recent ONCOLOGY On the Go hosted in collaboration with the American Psychosocial Oncology Society, Daniel C. McFarland, DO, spoke with Charles S. Kamen, PhD, MPH, about health equity for sexual and gender minority groups in oncology.  Sexual and gender minority groups, who constitute approximately 9.3% of the US population, experience significant and preventable disparities across all stages of the cancer care continuum, according to Kamen.1 He detailed how these inequities are largely driven by minority stress: the chronic psychological and emotional burden resulting from anticipated and experienced prejudice, discrimination, and stigma within health care settings.2 McFarland and Kamen highlighted that a lack of comprehensive sexual and gender minority training in medical education often leaves clinicians feeling unprepared, compounding the patient's anxiety and mistrust. The path to correcting these disparities requires a fundamental shift to cultural humility: the readiness to acknowledge one's own lack of knowledge and learn directly from the patient's lived experience. The most critical, actionable step discussed was the systematic, safe, and affirmative collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data.3 Kamen emphasized that SOGI data is a clinical tool, not just a demographic marker. When collected routinely—ideally non-verbally via intake forms—SOGI data are used to: Ensure Biologically Appropriate Surveillance: Confirming that all necessary cancer screenings are offered based on the patient's existing organs, regardless of current gender identity. Facilitate Relationship-Centered Care: Appropriately recognizing and engaging the patient's partners and chosen family; a critical component of sexual and gender minority support networks. Tailored Psychosocial Navigation: Moving beyond a general "disparities mindset" to an "equity mindset" by using SOGI data to connect patients with LGBTQ-specific psychosocial resources that directly address discrimination-related distress drivers. McFarland is the director of the Psycho-Oncology Program at Wilmot Cancer Center and a medical oncologist who specializes in head, neck, and lung cancer, in addition to being the psycho-oncology editorial advisory board member for the journal ONCOLOGY. Kamen is an associate professor in the Department of Surgery, Cancer Control (SMD) and holds joint appointments as an associate professor at the Center for Community Health and Prevention and the Department of Psychiatry (SMD) at the University of Rochester Medical Center.  References 1.        Jones JM.

In this episode of Leadership Story Talks, hosts Jerome Deroy and Julienne Ryan speak with Greg Smith—General Manager of FranklinCovey's Executive Coaching practice and a leader with more than 25 years of experience developing executives across global organizations. Greg has supported leaders at Walmart, Deloitte, Starbucks, FedEx, Disney, and today his practice delivers an extraordinary 97% coaching success rate.Greg shares a moment early in his career: a CEO's deceptively simple piece of advice—“If you want to fly like the eagles, hang out with the eagles.”  What made it powerful wasn't the phrase itself, but who said it and the way it awakened Greg's belief in aligning himself with excellence. That shift in mindset still shapes how he approaches leadership development today.Greg breaks down why executive coaching is no longer a perk but a strategic imperative— defined by rapid change, restructuring, and rising complexity. He walks through FranklinCovey's four-phase coaching methodology, shares an example of a leader whose newfound courage saved the company $20 million in one meeting, and why human connection, empathy, and trust remain irreplaceable even as AI becomes more deeply integrated into leadership work.You'll Hear:“Fly With the Eagles” – One comment from a founder shifted Greg's trajectory by redefining what—and who—he aligned himself with.Coaching as a Strategic Lever – Why organizations facing disruption increasingly rely on coaching to accelerate capability and navigate complexity.The 4-Phase Methodology – Alignment, data-driven insight, focused coaching, and sustainable transition.Courage in Practice – How a single leadership intervention, rooted in new skills, averted a multimillion-dollar loss.Human Leadership in an AI Era – Why the future belongs to leaders who cultivate empathy, curiosity, trust, and adaptability.Preparing for What's Next – How CEOs, COOs, CHROs, and talent teams can rethink development to meet tomorrow's challenges.Greg's insights offer a clear, actionable roadmap for strengthening leadership in times of uncertainty—and for keeping humanity at the center of growth.ResourcesCoaching | FranklinCoveyLinkedIn — Greg SmithForbes Coaches Council — Greg SmithNarativ's online course in partnership with New Mexico State University Global Campus:Lead With Your Story (self-paced, on-demand course)Podcast listeners get 25% off - Use code NARATIV → Register Here Learn more about how to leverage Narativ's storytelling method for your pitch and sales team: Download our free e-book, or you're welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call with Jerome.

Argentina's Unstable Peso and Dollarization Imperative — Mary Anastasia O'Grady — O'Grady warns that despite President Javier Milei's systematic market-oriented reforms, private investment in Argentina remains stalled due to persistent currency instability and managed peso depreciation policies. O'Grady argues that the current "dirty float" exchange rate system is operationally insufficient to restore investor confidence and capital inflows. O'Gradyadvocates for rapid U.S. dollar adoption as the official currency to secure investor confidence before upcoming midterm elections potentially compromise Milei's reform agenda through electoral backlash. 1890

At the dawn of the 20th century, American finance looked modern—telegraphs, syndicates, Wall Street empires—but it had no brakes. In this episode of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch follows the chain reaction from the Panic of 1907 to the creation of the Federal Reserve, revealing how crises, central banking, and policy choices concentrated power at the top and quietly reshaped who gets to own a home in America.We move from J.P. Morgan locking bankers in his library to stabilize markets, to the secret Jekyll Island meeting that birthed the blueprint for the Fed, to a global financial order built on austerity, gold, and central banks. Lynch unpacks how this shift—from robber barons to central bankers—centralized control over money and credit, setting the stage for a financial system that could either stabilize the economy or supercharge inequality.In parallel, the episode traces a second, brutal story: the clash between slave labor and wage labor, the Civil War, broken promises like Special Field Orders No. 15, Reconstruction, the 13th and 14th Amendments, and the massive land giveaways of the Homestead and Railway Acts that seeded a two-track wealth system. That system was later hardened by Black Codes, Jim Crow, and the rise of the National Association of Realtors, whose restrictive covenants and ethics codes turned racism and class exclusion into standard practice.As Lynch connects the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, Hoover's homeownership gospel, and New Deal housing programs—HOLC, FHA, Fannie Mae—listeners see how federal support for mortgages expanded opportunity for some while redlining, racial covenants, and “good neighborhood” ideology locked others out. Housing was transformed into a mass wealth engine built on division.This episode is a deep dive into how central banking, war finance, slavery, segregation, real estate professionalization, and federal housing policy fused into a system where housing isn't just shelter or asset—it's a sorting mechanism. If you want to understand why today's housing market feels rigged, this chapter shows how the rig was built.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.

The Mitzva of Living in Israel: Zionist Propaganda, Messianic Dream or Halachic Imperative - Rabbi Karlinsky by Shapell's Rabbeim

I. Executive Summary: Securing Value and Certainty in the AI Supply ChainA. Overview of the Productisation Imperative (PI)The Productisation Imperative is an explicit, urgent call for every professional and organization to own, protect, and amplify their Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EEAT). This EEAT is defined as the most valuable data asset in the AI era. The PI mandates a critical pivot: value is no longer derived from the standardized output that AI can easily replicate, but from the structured source material—the Productised IQ.Productised IQ constitutes verified, compensated intelligence structured specifically to serve as high-quality source material for advanced AI systems. The implementation strategy involves transforming amorphous human expertise into clearly attributed, discoverable knowledge assets with robust compensation mechanisms. The ultimate impact of this transformation is the elimination of the systemic "zero-trust attribute" inherent in unverified AI outputs, allowing organizations to command premium pricing for Engineered Certainty.B. PIBM as the Strategic RoadmapThe strategic necessity of the PI is framed by a shrinking window of opportunity. As intelligent systems increasingly rely on strong EEAT signals for discoverability and recognition, intelligence that remains unstructured, uncompensated, or undiscoverable will effectively cease to exist in AI-mediated search and recommendation systems. The organizations that secure their survival over the next two years are predicted to be those that productise their intelligence before AI fully commoditizes their outputs.The PIBM framework serves both a diagnostic and a prescriptive function. Initially, the PIBM Case Study (November 2025) diagnosed the core failure pattern of the AI industry: the pervasive inability of AI companies to achieve profitability.

In episode 223, Coffey talks with Mike Lyons about why hiring for character and behavior often predicts success better than relying on experience or technical skills.They discuss how HR leaders can define and hire for the right character traits by first understanding business strategy (for example, Walmart vs. Nordstrom models); aligning hiring with authentic, observable core values; identifying the specific attitudes and behaviors that make top performers successful in each role; using structured behavioral interviews to identify values; conducting reference checks as investigative conversations rather than formalities; designing realistic job previews to reduce turnover; and maintaining objectivity by keeping character assessments job-related and bias-free.You can access Mike's free library of free downloads to elevate your healthcare clinic from merely OK to excellent here: https://www.seasoned-advice.com/signup-for-free-downloadsGood Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

Episode Summary: Adversaries, including China and Russia, possess the means to strike the U.S. through a range of air and missile technologies. While some of these threats, like ICBMs, have existed for decades, a new range of cruise missiles, drones, fractional orbital bombardment technologies, etc. can strike deep within our nation. Given their increasingly aggressive behavior challenging established norms and territorial boundaries, these circumstances demand a serious assessment of the threat and a corresponding look at defensive means to protect America. Join us as we explore this critical issue with former NORTHCOM-NORAD commander Gen. Glen VanHerck, USAF (Ret.) and former STRATCOM commander Gen. Kevin Chilton, USAF (Ret.).
