An initiative which helps innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-focused scaleup companies to maximise their full commercial potential is now open for 2025 applications. The 6-month programme, delivered by the University of Edinburgh, will widen its selection process this year, to encourage a broader range of scaleups from tech-focused companies to benefit from a package of support aimed at helping transform their businesses into world-leading companies. The AI Accelerator has a strong track record of supporting innovative businesses and, this year, will be joined by Daniel Winterstein as Technical Entrepreneur in Residence. A PhD graduate at the University of Edinburgh and co-founder of ethical ad-tech company Good-Loop, Daniel will offer technical guidance and mentorship as part of the Accelerator's wider support network. Daniel Winterstein comments, "As the only UK city to be named an AI leader, it's fair to say that we have a real opportunity here and I am so excited to meet the cohort. Access to capital and talent are their biggest barriers to growth in the UK and we want to support them to overcome these challenges with our programme so that as a city and a university we can continue to lead the way with AI." The programme, delivered by the University of Edinburgh's world-leading Innovation Hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, the Bayes Centre in collaboration with Edinburgh Innovations, will feature monthly in-person workshops complemented by additional activities delivered online and two trips to London. The AI Accelerator gives companies a platform to shape their investment strategies and connect with potential investors. Participants also take part in expert-led workshops covering pricing, leadership, and scaling - all designed to drive commercial growth. The University of Edinburgh is home to the largest centres for computing science and informatics in Europe. Through access to its academic expertise and links into the Data- Driven Innovation hubs, AI Accelerator participants will also benefit from collaboration and business exposure opportunities. Among last year's participants were Chirrup, a business that helps landholders to thrive with biodiversity, by providing sensors and reporting tools that show the level of natural capital they already have. Gaining clarity on their "bullseye target" at the AI accelerator enabled Chirrup to concentrate their efforts on food processor intermediaries. This focused approach facilitated the development of marketing and sales tools specifically crafted to address these clients' unique challenges and maximise value. Dr. Murray Collins, CEO, Space Intelligence who participated in the 2021 cohort commented, "The programme introduced us to the different skills needed to grow a business over and above our academic and technical ability. As a result, we have grown significantly, including raising investment at seed and Series A stages from with investment from global name entities like Equinor and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), owners of the New York Stock Exchange. "Since the Accelerator, we've publicly worked with major clients, such as Shell and Apple, and won several funding competitions that have helped to solidify our position as a leading player in this space." Katy Guthrie, Programme Manager of the AI Accelerator, said: "AI is having a profoundly positive impact on companies and their growth across the globe and through our programme we are helping transform innovative start-ups into world-leading companies and supporting wider economic growth. Space Intelligence is just one example of the success that can be achieved, and we are inviting startups and scaleups from tech-businesses across the globe to join us. "We've also decided to open our selection process to encourage a broader range of businesses to benefit, and we'll be refocusing on scaleups with products that are ready to make an impact." Pre-qualifications close at 12 noon on Wed 14th May, and...

South East Technological University (SETU), in collaboration with Carlow County Council and Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, has launched Station House, a new rural innovation hub in Hacketstown, County Carlow. The initiative is part of SETU's TU RISE programme, designed to strengthen regional enterprise by connecting businesses with university expertise and support. As the only university in the region, SETU is committed to driving research and innovation that delivers real impact. Station House is the first of four rural innovation hubs being developed under TU RISE, creating dedicated spaces for enterprise owners to engage with SETU and its partners. The hub will provide opportunities to develop key skills in areas such as innovation, digitalisation, succession planning, and sustainability. Brian Ogilvie, Head of Entrepreneurship and Rural Engagement at SETU, said: "This initiative offers business owners outside of the main urban areas access to SETU's expertise and support. The hub will play an instrumental role in empowering the area, equipping it with the necessary tools and skills for sustainable growth. SETU is committed to working with industry, ensuring that regional businesses can leverage cutting-edge research and enterprise support to help grow their business." By bringing together university resources, partner organisations, and the expertise of local business owners, Station House will serve as a key asset to the local community. Professor Marie Claire Van Hout, Vice President for Research, Innovation and Impact at SETU, highlighted the hub's role in supporting economic growth: "This endeavour aligns with SETU's mission to drive progress, nurture economic growth, and elevate the competitiveness of the region. Station House is the first of four rural-based hubs which SETU is developing under the TU-RISE initiative in the South East region. SETU's experience in fostering rural innovation has shown that these hubs are more than just spaces; they are catalysts for economic growth, equipping micro, small, and medium enterprises with the skills, technology, and networks needed to compete in an increasingly fast-paced global economy." Station House has been developed through a partnership approach, bringing together key stakeholders to support rural enterprise. Coilín O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Carlow County Council, said: "Enterprise spaces and rural hubs are crucial for fostering entrepreneurship and economic resilience. Carlow County Council is proud to deliver this project in partnership with Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, with funding from the Town & Village Renewal Scheme. This investment has also enabled an exciting collaboration with TU RISE at South East Technological University, strengthening the support ecosystem for enterprise development. Station House is a flagship example of how strategic partnerships can drive meaningful opportunities for rural communities, ensuring businesses have the space, resources, and support to start, scale, and succeed." SETU encourages business owners to take advantage of the opportunities available through Station House and the broader TU RISE initiative. SETU TU RISE is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.

Running a farm comes with its fair share of challenges, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. But some of the biggest opportunities for growth come from stepping outside our own operations, connecting with others, and learning from those facing similar challenges. Stronger businesses, smarter decisions, and a more resilient industry all start with farmers coming together and sharing knowledge.    This episode is all about the power of grower groups - why they matter, the impact they have, and why getting involved can be a game-changer for your farm and business.    I'm joined by Pippa Jones, who, alongside her husband, runs a mixed farm near Goondiwindi, QLD. Beyond the farm, Pippa has played a key role in the Macintyre Ag Alliance, helping to drive innovation and support for local farmers. She also works as an extension officer with NSW Local Land Services and represents the Northern NSW Drought and Innovation Hub. On top of that, she's a 2024 Nuffield Scholar, exploring how carbon farming can be both a profitable opportunity for farmers and better supported on a global scale.    Together, in this episode, we explore:  The critical role of grower groups like Macintyre Ag Alliance and the impact they're having in southern Queensland and northern NSW.  Why getting involved in these networks goes far beyond just improving technical farming skills.  How simplifying your farm business model can give you the time and space to pursue off-farm interests, leadership roles, and industry impact.  Why we should all back ourselves as leaders, even if we don't see ourselves that way just yet.    At Farm Owners Academy, we're proud to be partnering with Macintyre Ag Alliance and other grower groups across Australia to help farmers connect, learn, and thrive.    If you haven't yet, I encourage you to seek out your local grower groups and engage with your regional drought and innovation hubs-they offer invaluable resources and networks that can help you navigate challenges and future-proof your farm business.    You can access more information about the items discussed in the episode below:    Macintyre Ag Alliance – click here https://www.macintyreagalliance.com/   Drought and Innovation Hubs – click here https://www.agriculture.gov.au/agriculture-land/farm-food-drought/drought/future-drought-fund/research-adoption-program/adoption-innovation-hubs   Nuffield Scholarships – click here https://www.nuffield.com.au/     Pippa, thank you for your time, your insights, and your leadership. I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did.    Keep winning.    Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team

The Ireland Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) has announced that it is launching a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation Hub. Developed to serve as a central hub of AI expertise and education, it will equip the project management profession with the knowledge and skills to integrate AI technologies across their organisations. By enabling project management professionals to leverage AI in their roles to better manage AI projects, the hub will deliver efficiency and automation to organisations. It will also help to address the challenges associated with AI usage, from ethics to governance. In turn, companies of all sizes and across all sectors will be empowered to adopt and implement AI - which has the potential to support innovation, boost competitiveness, and drive growth. This initiative ties in with the significant investment that PMI has made globally in AI over the past 18 months. This includes the creation of an AI platform called PMI Infinity, an AI-powered project management solution designed to strengthen expertise, streamline complex tasks, and maximise project success. Sponsored by business and IT consultancy emagine and set to officially launch on February 13th, the AI Innovation Hub in Ireland will host a number of events throughout 2025, from lunch-and-learns and webinars to hackathons. These hackathons will see project management professionals deploying AI tools to address specific challenges. Overseeing these activities is an AI Working Group within the Ireland Chapter of PMI - led by Declan Foster, the newly appointed Head of the AI Innovation Hub. In his role, Declan will leverage his consulting background and experience with his own startup to promote the adoption of AI and enable change management. Alongside Declan, the AI Working Group includes technical experts, thought leaders and data consultants across multiple sectors such as construction, property and business. The Ireland Chapter of PMI hopes to further grow this group from its now 3,500-strong membership base. Peter Glynne, President of the Ireland Chapter of PMI, said: "AI is such a hot topic and there's a lot of talk around it. The aim of our AI Innovation Hub is to cut through that noise and guide the project management profession through this time of AI change, whilst supporting them to deliver AI change over the coming years. Through collaboration and education, we want to help drive real impact with these fast-evolving technologies across all sectors. "The reality is that every industry needs to be across AI and tuned into the latest developments, such as agentic AI. By tapping into such trends - not just from a knowledge-sharing perspective but practically in our day-to-day jobs - we can enable AI innovation and leadership for the profession, for other sectors, and for Ireland as a whole." Gillian Whelan, CEO of emagine, added: "At emagine, we're empowering our clients to achieve their ambitions by harnessing the transformative power of technology and AI. By sponsoring the AI Innovation Hub, we are proud to support the next wave of innovation, enabling individuals and organisations to unlock new opportunities and excel on their AI journeys."

For this episode of the DCF Show podcast, Data Center Frontier Editor in Chief Matt Vincent and Senior Editor David Chernicoff speak with Tom Dakich, CEO of Quantum Corridor, about compute possibilities for his company's super-fast, super-secure fiber-optic network operating in the area of Chicagoland and Northern Indiana. Almost exactly a year ago, Quantum Corridor launched what the company bills as "one of the fastest, most secure fiber-optic networks in the Western Hemisphere" with its first transmissions from the Chicago ORD 10 Data Center at 350 E. Cermak Rd. to a data center in Hammond, Indiana.  Formed in 2021 as a public-private partnership with the state of Indiana, Quantum Corridor was established to enable advanced Illinois and Indiana tech innovators to exchange data nearly instantaneously, the better to achieve frontline technology breakthroughs.  Funded through a $4.0 million grant from the state of Indiana's READI grant program and with the cooperation of the Indiana Department of Transportation and Northwest Indiana Forum, Quantum Corridor's network is utilizing 263 miles of new and existing fiber-optic cable beneath the Indiana Toll Road to link data centers, quantum research facilities, life sciences and genome scientists and hyperscalers with industry-shattering speeds and throughput. Transmitting at data speeds reportedly 1,000x faster than traditional networks, on its launch in 2023, Quantum Corridor said the new network aims to enable regional businesses and institutions to achieve breakthroughs in the segments for defense, financial modeling, biotech, cybersecurity, machine learning, research and more. This optimism came on the heels of the Biden-Harris administration's designation last October of of the Chicago MSA as a U.S. Regional Technology and Innovation Hub. With its first transmissions, Quantum Corridor achieved a latency of 0.266 milliseconds of information exchange over its current 12-mile network—a transmission speed 500 times faster than the blink of an eye and far exceeding the average network's existing 12-times-longer latency.  The combination of near-instantaneous transmissions paired with massive throughput is expected to enable exponential breakthroughs in modeling and problem solving across myriad industries. Quantum Corridor continues to expand its mileage and connect research facilities. According to the company, the network already has the capacity to transmit nearly the entire current content load of the internet in a single transmission.

There is an unusual one-of-kind competition brewing within the Indian fintech space. It is so disruptive that its leaving founders and chief executives of some of India's biggest fintechs feeling pretty intimidated and also helpless. The funny thing is, the brains behind this new competitor that's left the whole industry feeling pretty blindsided is the Reserve Bank of India itself. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the banking regulator. And it's called the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub or RBIH. The RBIH has been around for two years now. It's a first-of-its kind sort of company, because it is led by a central bank. Now, perhaps its closest counterpart, would be the National Payments Corporation of India or NPCI. We all know it for creating the unified payments interface or UPI. The NPCI is owned by a consortium of banks, whereas the RBIH is wholly owned by the regulator. It's raison detre is simple: it's meant to accelerate innovation across the financial sector. But unlike the NPCI, which collaborates with lenders in some way or the other to develop its products, the RBIH asks lenders to participate. But for the most part, a lot of fintech founders say that it works in a silo. Tune in. We are now on WhatsApp at +918971108379!

The Fintech sector in Ireland has emerged as a major force in the global financial landscape, reshaping how financial services are delivered and consumed. Since its early days in the 2000s, driven by technological advancements in payment solutions and e-money services, Ireland has become a notable hub, boasting a Fintech adoption rate of 71%, well above the global average of 64% as of 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this shift, with mobile banking transactions rising by approximately 54% during that period, demonstrating a significant shift towards digital financial solutions among consumers. Prominent companies, including Stripe, Mastercard, and TransferMate, have established strong roots in the country, benefiting from a supportive regulatory framework implemented by the Central Bank of Ireland. This framework encompasses a wide array of areas, such as open banking, cryptocurrency, and crowdfunding, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and investment. By the end of 2021, Ireland was home to over 280 domestic Fintech firms and 130 international players, indicating robust growth in the sector and positioning the country as a vibrant hub for financial technology. Historical Background The journey of Fintech in Ireland can be traced back to the early 2000s when technology began to disrupt traditional financial services. Initial advancements focused on payment solutions and e-money services, laying the groundwork for subsequent growth in the sector. By the end of 2021, the payments and e-money sector experienced a 45% increase in firms and an 83% rise in transactions, highlighting a significant shift towards digital services among consumers. Key Players in the Irish Fintech Scene Ireland's Fintech ecosystem features a mix of established firms and innovative startups. Prominent companies like Stripe, Mastercard, and TransferMate have leveraged Ireland's favourable environment to grow their operations. Besides these giants, numerous startups like CurrencyFair, Payslip, and ID-Pal are making strides in specialised areas, such as foreign currency exchange, payroll management, and Know Your Customer (KYC) solutions. Regulatory bodies like the Central Bank of Ireland play a crucial role in supporting these developments, offering frameworks that cover payments, open banking, cryptocurrency, and crowdfunding. The Innovation Hub, set up by the Central Bank, has provided engagement opportunities for over 300 Fintech companies since its establishment. Regulatory Framework and Government Support The regulatory framework governing the Fintech sector in Ireland is multifaceted and operates within both national and European contexts. Key institutions involved include the Central Bank of Ireland, which serves as the primary regulator for financial services in the country. Central Bank of Ireland The Central Bank is responsible for authorising and supervising financial services providers in Ireland, ensuring compliance with prudential and conduct of business requirements. It is an integrated regulator, with its powers and responsibilities defined under the Central Bank of Ireland Act of 1942 and subsequent amendments. The Bank actively participates in EU policy development, engaging with the Department of Finance and other stakeholders to influence new EU legislation. This includes oversight of regulated entities and enforcement actions against breaches of financial services legislation. Compliance and Reporting Fintech companies categorised as "designated persons" under the Criminal Justice Act 2010 are required to adhere to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules. These regulations are applicable regardless of a company's authorisation status, with EU and Irish financial sanctions also relevant to all Fintech firms. The Funds Transfer Regulation further mandates payment service providers to ensure proper information accompanies fund transfers to aid in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.

Heute sprechen wir mit einem Gast der die Folge mit der Antwort auf alle Fragen zuteil wurde OTWTNW 42. Nicht mal ein Jahr nach der Folge rückte er an die Spitze der digitalen Transformation der Bundeswehr steht. Seit 2019 leitet er den Cyber Innovation Hub der Bundeswehr in Berlin, einer Schlüsselinitiative, die darauf abzielt, die Digitalisierung innerhalb des Militärs voranzutreiben. Mit einem Team von rund 50 Expert:innen entwickelt und fördert er innovative Projekte, die die Effizienz und technologische Fortschrittlichkeit der Bundeswehr erheblich steigern. Eines seiner bemerkenswerten Projekte ist „Image Aware“, ein fortschrittliches KI-System zur Bekämpfung digitaler Desinformationskampagnen, das in sicherheitspolitisch kritischen Situationen präzise Lagebilder liefert. Darüber hinaus hat er mit „Yarded“ ein Projekt erfolgreich umgesetzt, das die Verwaltung von Fahrzeugen und Ausrüstungen optimiert und 2023 die NATO Innovation Challenge gewann. Dieses Projekt ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie seine Arbeit die Standards für technologische Anwendungen innerhalb der NATO setzen könnte. Die Herausforderung, junge, internetaffine Talente für eine Karriere in der Bundeswehr zu begeistern, steht ebenfalls im Fokus seiner Bemühungen. Die Brücke zwischen der „TikTok-Generation“ und der eher traditionellen Militärstruktur zu schlagen, ist eine Aufgabe, die sowohl innovatives Denken als auch tiefgreifende Veränderungen innerhalb der Organisation erfordert. Unser Gast heute, Sven Weizenegger, wird tiefe Einblicke in die Transformation der Bundeswehr geben und wir werden diskutieren, wie Technologie und Innovation dazu beitragen können, die Herausforderungen der Zukunft zu meistern. In mehr als 400 Folgen haben wir uns in den letzten 7 Jahren mit über 500 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie beim Thema Arbeit geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Was müssen wir tun, damit wir in den Sicherheitskritischen Bereichen für die Zukunft gewappnet sind. Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei "On the Way to New Work" – heute wieder mit Sven Weizenegger

The program was initiated in 1977 and the Risk Management Honor Roll was added in 1981. [2:56] The 2024 RIMS Risk Manager of the Year is Steven Robles. Steve was recognized for his work as the Assistant CEO for the County of Los Angeles. He's featured in the special Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine. On Wednesday, May 8th, at 2:10 p.m., Steve and I will be at the Global Studio to extend this dialog. [3:21] Right now, we're going to have a lot of fun! We're going to talk about highlights of the past year and his career and what it means to be Assistant CEO for a major county in the United States of America. RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024, Steven Robles, welcome to RIMSCast! [3:56] Steve is excited to be a guest on RIMScast! Steve says it's extremely humbling to be RIMS 2024 Risk Manager of the Year. He has spent his entire career in risk management and to be honored like this is just an amazing feeling. It's wonderful to know all the people who have helped him in his career; Steve shares his award with them. We cannot do our jobs by ourselves. [4:56] The Awards edition of Risk Management magazine has a wonderful article by Justin that details Steve's career, especially the last couple of years and his work at LA County. The article's link is in this episode's show notes. [5:30] Steve was with San Bernardino County for almost 23 years; it was a lot of fun. He started his risk management career as a safety officer there. He worked with the Sheriff's department to ensure they were safe when they raided drug labs. He worked with all kinds of wonderful professionals. That's what got him hooked. [6:41] The department Steve worked in at San Bernardino County was the Risk Management Department. From Safety, Steve progressed to Workers' Comp, Liability, Insurance, Indemnification, Contracts, and Finance. As he built his skill set and supervisory experience, he realized he could run the department. After 10 years, his goal was to head the department. [8:58] Justin points out a great takeaway for the audience: Build your skill set, build your network, and when the time is right, present yourself for promotion. [9:33] Steve's friends told him not to take the job at LA County. Steve likes to organize and he saw there was disorder to organize. In his home, he likes to do tile work. He saw the opportunity to do some good for a place that was a good fit for him. Steve loves LA County. It was a major seven-day-a-week commitment. He got his family to buy into it. Fortunately, his kids were grown. [12:40] RIMS plug time! For RIMS Virtual Workshops, visit RIMS.org/virtualworkshops to see the full calendar.

This is a great way to stay on schedule. [13:58] Back to the interview! Steve describes the extremely extensive interview process for the position at LA County. The panel and questions were pretty standard about Steve's experience and philosophy on building a risk management program. Once he made the first cut, he had to interview with each elected official on the Board of Supervisors and their Chief of Staff. [14:52] There were five Supervisors. He spent about two hours with each of them, over a week. After they approved him, he sat with the CEO. He wanted to have a direct report to the CEO. They met for about two hours. By the time he started his first day, it felt like he had worked a week. [16:06] Steve says the CEO was great. Steve learned from the CEO during the interview that he had worked with Steve's mom in a previous job and she had trained him on a lot of things in personnel! Steve said getting to know the board members and the CEO on a human level helped him a lot. Steve told his mom and she said, “Oh I know him, tell him, Hi!” [17:34] Justin recalls when he got an internship at a major television network because his grandmother knew the mother of the marketing director. Leverage every family connection you can! Steve's wife also has a family connection with one of the Board Supervisors and he name-dropped her as well. [18:13] Steve is easy to get along with. He tells how that helped him to bring people along to where he wanted to go on a program or initiative. He knew he needed other people on board. He started by building a story. Risk managers need to be good storytellers. Use humor to put people at ease and allow them to share their true thoughts. A better idea may come up in discussion. [19:40] Steve calls this conversation controlled chaos. [20:17] Steve made privacy and cyber a top concern. These concerns went hand-in-hand. One of the issues at Los Angeles County was that their technology was extremely disjointed. Seven computer systems housed seven different data sets to administer risk management and the county council program. [20:49] None of the systems communicated with each other but all systems had the same type of personal data and connected through the internet. That made seven different exposures. Steven developed a comprehensive system to consolidate the seven systems. Steven paid attention to the cyber aspects and privacy aspects of managing how the data got out. [21:34] This was in 2013. Offices involved were the CEO, Health System, Jail System, Social Services System, and other county systems, which had the same challenges. Their first milestone was when they had a breach! It helped to have something occur so Steven could build from the chaos. It was a wake-up call. [22:48] The breach springboarded the county departments to collaborate in their efforts to control cyber. Steven tells why the breach didn't threaten his job. He always says, “I don't know what's going to happen but I know we need to be prepared for something happening. And this is how we prepare for these types of things.” [24:13] That means we need to have an emergency communication policy with collaboration on handling disasters. We need to prepare for what we don't know yet. As emerging risks came up, Steve brought them up. He brought up cyber and privacy long before there was a data breach. There was an emphasis on how they would respond to it. Steve also brought up AI years ago. [24:49] Steve doesn't know yet how AI is going to be a risk to us, but it's going to be a risk and we need to prepare for it. [24:58] One more RIMS Plug break! Webinars! Our friends from TÜV SÜD GRC will return on May 23rd with Respond to Emerging Risks with a Winning Property Loss Control Formula. On June 6th, Evident ID makes its RIMS Webinar debut with Uncovering Hidden Risks in Your Third-Party Risk Management Program. [25:32] On June 13th, our friends at Riskonnect return to present Unlocking the Value of Business Continuity and Insurable Risk Management. That's a great line-up for the next couple of months! Register at RIMS.org/Webinars. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members! [25:51] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be held on November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. RIMS continues to present the best conference agenda by featuring the most engaged and knowledgeable risk professionals leading the discussions. [26:07] RIMS wants to hear from you.

The best submissions will address current and future issues facing ERM practitioners and provide takeaways for an audience of risk professionals, business leaders, students, governmental officers, legal professionals, and more. [26:29] You must keep it relevant to ERM and Strategic Enterprise Risk Management. Remember, product sales pitches are not acceptable nor appropriate as part of the RIMS ERM Conference Education Program. [26:50] Back to the interview with RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024, Steve Robles! Cyber and privacy kind of define the challenges of Los Angeles County because it's so big. The size of the organization is the challenge. There are 100K employees and a county budget of $46 billion. All that money is being spent somewhere. When money is being spent, a risk is associated with it. [27:36] The risk could be where to invest the money without losing it, to the costs of deploying staff. When you see analytics pointing to some future risks, how do you get the channel open to communicate it to the right people and get their buy-in to deploy risk prevention tactics? [28:38] Steve connected to his risk professional counterparts in other counties. He would call his counterparts in Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernadino, San Francisco, and other counties around. “Have you seen this trend?” or “I think we've got fraud here, what do you guys think and what have you done about it?” They would share information on many topics.  [29:17] If it was in LA County, either other counties saw it first or they were trying to find out how LA County dealt with it. Steve would tap into his network of public sector risk professionals that went back to San Bernadino and the subject matter experts the county employed. He has known them for decades. They learned at the same time with different views of the same experience. [30:19] It broadens you to meet with other risk managers who came up through different paths and have different viewpoints that enrich you if you take in that information so you can make good executive decisions. [31:05] Steve had the greatest of all worlds at LA County because he had a great direct reporting relationship with the CEO and Board of Supervisors. He sees that other public sector entities do not have the same relationship between the risk managers and the CEOs. They report to a lower-level manager or human resources. [31:38] Risk management should be a strategic partnership for the direction of the organization and the person you report to should have a direct influence on how that strategy moves forward. [32:21] Steve's former coworkers were his succession. Every year in LA County, Steve brought his staff together to help put together the strategic initiative. It brought them together as a team and they enriched each others' knowledge base. As time progressed, many of them became qualified in all aspects of risk management. Steve was planning his succession from Day 1. [33:26] Now, LA County has an interim risk manager, Destiny Castro, who was Steve's operations manager. What Steve told Destiny is “You can do this job. What you'll be surprised by is how fast things come at you. They come at you fast and there's not really a day off! You're the decision-maker.” On May 8th, at 2:10 p.m., please go over to the Global Studio and check out RIMScast Live for a special session with RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024, Steve Robles. Steve received the award for his fantastic work with LA County. We will discuss his career and we will give all of you a chance to ask him anything that's on your mind. [34:40] Steve has participated in a lot of the events of the RIMS LA Chapter. It's not just public entities there; it's rewarding to see so many perspectives represented by private entities. Steve feels relaxed there with his clan who share his experiences. There are good side discussions that go on with the vendors as well as the members. [35:50] Steve has spoken at some universities that have either established or up-and-coming risk and safety programs they are trying to expand. The students are fantastic and have great questions. Steve explains that risk management is not insurance; it's exciting. Anything bad you see in the news, you're a part of it! [37:28] Steve's advice for the next generation of risk managers: “Have a clear career path. Find your passion; what you're passionate about is where you should go. There are so many different directions you can go in risk management. My passion was organizing the mess; I wanted a position where I could put those pieces together. But there's so much more you can do.” [38:02] “If you like contracts or if you like dealing with the human aspect of it you can go into claims. You take your personality and understand yourself and then find something that fosters that in your risk management career.” [38:41] Steve says to enjoy yourself. Look at challenges as a game, as a chess match. Something is happening on the right side of the board and you need to position yourself to corner that risk, person, or whatever. It calms you down so you can think clearly about the steps that are going to be needed to win that game. [39:28] Steve, I want to congratulate you again on being named RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024. Do you have your speech prepared? (Steve is ready!) We're going to see you onstage on the morning of May 6th and spread the love! [39:58] Special thanks again to RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2024 Steve Robles for joining us.

Individuals and companies frequently develop new solutions to make life easier for elders and caregivers, but not all of them have what it takes to actually make the jump from theory to widespread practice. In Australia, that's where ARIIA – Aged Care Research & Industry Innovation Australia – comes in. Since 2021, ARIIA has funded a host of projects to test a range of technological innovations, workforce processes, and service delivery models, all with the goal of helping the best solutions scale across the country. The group also translates cutting-edge research into new best practices into easy-to-understand summaries that caregivers can digest and put to use. This week, ARIIA CEO Reuben Jacob and research director Sue Gordon – also a professor and chair of restorative care at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia – join the podcast to discuss the factors that make new ideas stick and spread throughout eldercare, as well as ARIIA's overall vision for a more empowering care and support system for elders.
