What will 2025 bring for enterprise technology? How will AI evolve, and what should businesses anticipate in the coming year? In this episode, I speak with Louis Landry, the newly appointed CTO of Teradata, as he shares his insights on the future of AI, data analytics, and the role of trust in technology. With more than two decades of experience in software architecture and engineering leadership, Louis has played a pivotal role in shaping Teradata's innovation strategy. Having led the company's Technology and Innovation Office, his focus now extends to scaling AI-driven solutions that empower businesses with trusted intelligence. As we look ahead, what will be the defining trends of 2025? Louis explores the growing impact of retrieval-augmented generation, the evolution of large-scale personalization, and the next phase of AI model efficiency. He also delves into the rise of agentic AI systems—where generative AI merges with traditional software to create more autonomous, intelligent processes. But with rapid advancements come pressing concerns. How can organizations ensure AI remains explainable, transparent, and aligned with ethical standards? Louis emphasizes the importance of people-centered accountability, measurable business impact, and the foundational role of trusted data in AI's success. As AI continues to reshape industries, businesses must navigate regulatory challenges, balance innovation with risk, and rethink their approach to data governance. Beyond AI, Louis discusses the role of open-source technology in enterprise environments, the shift from project-focused to outcome-driven AI adoption, and how organizations can harness data harmonization to unlock new opportunities. He also shares his thoughts on the strategic investments businesses should prioritize in an increasingly complex digital world. As AI and analytics continue to evolve, what strategies will define industry leaders in 2025? How can businesses stay ahead while ensuring AI remains trustworthy and effective? Tune in to hear Louis Landry's perspective, and let us know your thoughts. How do you see AI shaping the business landscape in the coming year?

Der Foodtalk beleuchtet diese Fragen in der aktuellen Podcast-Folge – ein Muss für alle, die fair und nachhaltig produzierte Lebensmittel konsumieren möchten.Am Dienstag, den 19. November 2024, lud der FoodTalk im Unternehmen Mitte in Basel zu einem Diskussionsabend über „Die Macht des Einkaufskorbs“ ein. Der Abend beleuchtete die oft undurchsichtigen Prozesse der Lebensmittelpreisbildung und beantwortete zentrale Fragen: Wer profitiert entlang der Wertschöpfungskette, wer trägt die Hauptlast, und welche Kosten bleiben den Konsumierenden oft verborgen? Zu den Gästen zählten Prof. Philipp Aerni vom Center for Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CCRS), Tex Tschurtschenthaler von der Solidarischen Landwirtschaft sowie Benjamin Krähenmann von Crowd Container. Sie erklärten, welche Akteure die Preise massgeblich beeinflussen und wie Konsumierende durch ihre Kaufentscheidungen aktiv in das System eingreifen können.Für alle, die nicht vor Ort dabei sein konnten, steht dieser spannende Austausch nun als Podcast zur Verfügung – eine Gelegenheit, um tiefere Einblicke zu gewinnen und das eigene Konsumverhalten kritisch zu reflektieren.Gäste:Philipp Aerni, Center for Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CCRS)Tex Tschurtschenthaler, Kooperationsstelle für solidarische LandwirtschaftBenjamin Krähenmann, Crowd ContainerModeration:Dubravka Vrdoljak, Mitglied Ernährungsforum Basel, Kommunikation Foodsave-Bankett BaselDer FoodTalk Basel wurde ermöglicht durch: Ernährungsforum Basel, Innovation Office der Universität Basel, Impact Hub Basel, Verein Crowd Container, Unternehmen Mitte, Slow Food Basel, Genossenschaft Lebensmittel Netzwerk Basel - Feld zu Tisch, Genuss aus Stadt und Land, Markthalle Basel, Zentrum Ebenrain, Medizinischen Fakultät Basel, FiBLWeitere Informationen: Nachhaltige Lebensmittel sind im Trend und immer mehr Initiativen und Unternehmen setzen auf frische und lokale Produkte direkt von den Produzent*innen.

I den här podden pratar vi med Håkan Spjuth, chef för Grants and Innovation Office på Karlstads universitet, och Anders Olsson, strateg forskning och innovation på Region Värmland. Temat är den världsunika samverkan som utvecklats i Värmland mellan klusterorganisationer, region och universitet i Akademin för smart specialisering. En samverkan som redan inspirerar andra delar av Sverige och världen. Här finns mycket att lära av framgångsfaktorer för att mobilisera många aktörer i en gemensam riktning på lång sikt. Vi är övertygade om att Insikterna går att överföra på många andra stora samhällsutmaningar vi behöver samverka kring idag. Vi pratar bland annat om: Att hitta vinsterna både för respektive organisation och för den gemensamma strategin Den goda samverkanskulturen som har skapats i Värmland, vikten av spindlar i nätet och långsiktigheten i att bygga tillit och relation Hur olika drivkrafter och behov kan samspela, hur processen skapar strategin Hur många kan bära den ”röda tråden” och vikten av samtalet Betydelsen av nätverk och samverkan regionalt, nationellt och internationellt för att utveckla styrkeområden Det avgörande i att två personer från Region och Universitet kunnat arbeta så nära under så lång tid och därmed kan förstå respektive organisations utmaningar och förutsättningar Nätverk och tillit som grund för framgångsrik omställning Trevlig lyssning!

Twenty-two of Ireland's top entrepreneurs and innovators presented new research breakthroughs to leading figures in business and industry at a special showcase at University of Galway. The 22 high potential start-ups were selected for their IP-backed, deep-tech solutions that aim to solve global challenges and hold the prospect of being the next big-ticket homegrown enterprise. The research-led innovations are in the areas of medical technologies, pharmaceuticals, biotech, AI, photonics and biosensors. Invention pitches included a new therapy option for retinal diseases; a probiotic solution aimed at helping eczema sufferers; the first non-invasive medical device to treat severe menopause symptoms; and an AI algorithm that proactively identifies signs of diminished mental wellbeing at an early stage. Twelve of the high potential start-ups have been developed at University of Galway, with additional projects from UCD, UCC, Tyndall National Institute and ATU. The day-long showcase was the third in a series of Business Partner events organised by the Innovation Office at University of Galway. The initiative facilitates intensive networking between researchers, start-up entrepreneurs, business leaders, mentors and industry experts. Founders and innovators sought access to business leaders in the areas of R&D capability, manufacturing, marketing, clinical and investment supports, to help transform their inventions into market-ready innovations. Professor Peter McHugh, Interim President, University of Galway, said, "Celebrating research excellence and innovation at University of Galway, this event showcased new opportunities for industry collaborations between our entrepreneurial researchers and the business community." "It is heartening to see the central role played by Irish universities that are to the forefront in fostering innovation and developing solutions that can have a meaningful impact in the market. By bridging academic research with practical applications, these initiatives are not only advancing technology but also addressing real-world challenges in society," continued McHugh. "This collaborative approach not only supports the growth of these start-ups but also contributes to the broader narrative of innovation and entrepreneurship in the region. It is a great example of how dedicated support can lead to remarkable stories of success and impact." Investors, business partners, mentors and business advisors had the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research innovations and to meet with those driving the future of business and technology in Ireland. Jacinta Thornton, Associate Director, Innovation Office, University of Galway, said, "The Innovation Office plays a pivotal role in this process, working closely with researchers at every step of their journey. By accelerating research impact and empowering emerging technologies and spinouts, the University is helping to cultivate the next generation of high-potential start-ups. This commitment not only enhances the entrepreneurial landscape but also contributes significantly to the region's economic growth and technological advancement." The research projects which have spawned business innovation were supported through funding programmes from Enterprise Ireland, Taighde Éireann-Research Ireland and the EU.

In November 2019, Mass General Brigham (MGB) was the largest recipient of National Institutes of Health funding in the world. The Innovation Office, led by Chief Innovation Officer Chris Coburn, sought to capitalize on that funding – with the goal of commercializing research done at the hospital to generate revenue and improve patient care. But CEO Anne Klibanski and other key stakeholders had a serious concern: although women comprised approximately 40 percent of the medical researchers and physicians at MGB, the percentage of women participating in innovation activities lagged behind. Can the leadership team identify the main sources of the disparities and find the right strategy to expand and diversify MGB's community of innovators?

In this episode: We meet Jill Johnson, Vice President of Brand Management for Tempur-Pedic and Allen Platek, who leads the New Product Development team at Tempur Sealy — companies that apply a NASA-developed technology to their sleep products, and that are Space-Certified through the Space Foundation. Jill serves as a senior leader on the company’s marketing team, drawing on her tech and business backgrounds to oversee brand and product strategy across Tempur-Pedic’s premium range of mattresses, adjustable bases, pillows, and toppers. Jill began her tenure at Tempur Sealy as a New Products Program Manager, and over the past decade has served in a range of brand and marketing management positions, helping to bring new sleep solutions to life across the company’s portfolio of brands.   Allen leads the New Product Development team at Tempur Sealy with a focus on bringing innovation to each product development cycle across all brands for the company. In his current role, Allen not only runs the New Product Development group, but also the Innovation Office, Analytical Labs, Prototype Labs, and Product Test Labs, overseeing all major product development efforts from product concept phase through commercialization. In this conversation, Jill and Allen discuss the backstory on the space technology that the company adapted to improve sleep, some of the science behind how Tempur-Pedic foam works, how the technology has evolved over the years, the broad range of products they now produce using the technology, and the award the company recently received from Popular Science. In discussing Tempur Sealy’s approach to their sleep technology Allen says, “Climate research — in much the same way that space exploration is approached — we do it through scientific method and through experimentation. We don’t leave it to chance. And, I believe we’re the only people in the industry that are approaching sleep science this way.” To learn more about Tempur-Pedic, visit tempurpedic.com.

The Bank of Ghana has established a new FinTech and Innovation Office to drive its cash-lite, e-payments and digitization agenda. According to the central bank, the emergence of FinTech solutions has introduced significant complexities that require it to focus, understand and supervise effectively. Among the role of the new FinTech and Innovation Office will be the licensing and oversight of dedicated electronic money issuers such as mobile money operators, payment service providers (PSPs), and closed loop payment products. The Bank of Ghana said companies engaged in online or digital transactions including Mobile Money Operators and fintechs, have up to June 2020 to acquire their licenses to enable them operate in the electronic payment space. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

Marc co-founded the Innovation Office in San Francisco government's social services agency. He gets to lead an internal team that does service design, systems design, visual design and design research. They serve as internal consultants, co-creating digital and non-digital service experiences in the pubic sector. He received the Edmund Hillary Fellowship in October 2019, allowing him to work in Aotearoa New Zealand. Marc is looking for partners interested in prototyping public policies and using performance data and success metrics to develop healthier organizational culture and better service delivery.Today's episode is more collaborative. Marc allowed the space for Corina, the host, to share some of her stories and experiences with applied anthropology. At the center of this dialogue is Aotearoa: a place where Corina started practicing applied anthropology and where Marc (at the time of this recording) headed there for a rapid ethnographic research project to learn from creative New Zealanders.Throughout this episode we explore Marc's blend of policy, tech, design and data, what makes New Zealand a unique place to practice applied anthropology, and feedback loops for a global collective of thoughtful practitioners.Mentioned in the Podcast:“Respond to dissatisfaction with creativity:” Insights from innovative New Zealanders: https://medium.com/@marc.k.hebert/respond-to-dissatisfaction-with-creativity-insights-from-innovative-new-zealanders-a76d1984f8baEdmund Hillary Fellowship (EHF), https://www.ehf.org/Code for America, https://www.codeforamerica.org/Connect with Marc:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-hebert-0662bb1/Twitter: https://twitter.com/anthromarc?lang=en 

Event Date: Oct 30, 2019 Event Time: 1:00-6:30 pm Location: Norlin Library, British Studies Room The year 2019 is the sesquicentennial of the completion of the United States first transcontinental railroad.

Welcome back, everyone! It’s good to have you. In this episode, recorded a few months ago, I talk with Patrick McDonnell, Project Manager and Service Designer in the City of Austin’s Innovation Office. As with Jessica in the previous episode, Patrick and I met as Code for America fellows in 2016. Unlike most of the people in the fellowship who had a background in technology, Patrick brought to the table years of experience in urbanism and city planning – which we explore in detail during our conversation. Like most of my conversations with Patrick even off-mic, this one is full of neat little stories and tangents. We loosely follow the course of Patrick’s career in urbanism, making stops to look at how people are prototyping new ideas in cities, how urban areas change as they grow in size and population, and why public employees should share their stories with the public through social media. Patrick tells the story better than I do, though – so let’s jump right in. - - - Since Patrick and I talked, his temporary position with the City of Austin has ended. He has moved on to a permanent position in the city of Anchorage, Alaska as a Design Strategist on the Innovation Team. Patrick, thanks again for both this conversation, and for putting me up on your couch and giving me a great tour of Austin when I visited. Anyone visiting Anchorage should definitely get in touch – nobody gives city tours like Patrick can. As we talked about, Patrick is to be found pretty much anywhere online @patrickm02l – and that includes his newest platform of choice, Anchor, where he’s broadcasting his own almost daily updates as short audio snippets. Download Anchor on the App Store, and tune into Patrick there. This episode is the last of two pilot episodes for this podcast. I’d like to share more stories of great people doing good work in the public sector – and I’d love to know what you think about it so far. If you like what you hear, please send a quick tweet to me @thisisgvmnt (that’s abbreviated to @thisisgvmnt), or an email to thisisgovernmentpodcast@gmail.com. I’d love to hear from you. Once again – I’m Grayson Wright, and This is Government. Thanks for listening.

This is a very interesting interview with someone who started at the ground floor of the healthcare system and is now the Chief Innovation Officer at a promising healthcare company. His perspective is very valuable.

Finding Innovative Solutions for Recycling in Austin, Texas On this week’s show we covered new innovations in recycling. We had some of the City of Austin’s Design, Technology, and Innovation Fellows in the studio to talk about new research they’ve been conducting, looking at how people in Austin, Texas view recycling. The research study involved meeting people in their homes. Austin residents took researchers on a tour of their home recycling systems, pointing out what was easy or challenging. The interviews were documented with notes, photos, and video recordings. The collection of these stories and observations form the foundation of the research conclusions and will guide the development of service recommendations The idea is that this new research will help the City of Austin develop more efficient recycling programs in order to reach its zero waste goals. Guests included: • Celine Thibault and Katherine Duong – City of Austin Design, Technology, and Innovation Fellows in the Innovation Office. • Emlea Chanslor – Public Information Officer and Marketing Program Manager with Austin Resource Recovery. • Ron Neumond – Zero Waste Program Development for the City of Austin.

The services industry has passed manufacturing and agriculture to become the fastest growing and most dominant industry across all of the world's key economies. In the US alone, services now accounts for 75% of the total gross domestic product. Yet studies show that Services is actually the least studied part of our economy. Tune in to learn how Sun is collaborating in the field of service science and the solutions that will result from this innovation. Guests: Kevin Ellis, Director of Service Science and Innovation Office, Alok Rish, Chief Technologist, Service Science, Sun Microsystems.
