Podcasts about integrated solutions

Season 09 Episode 01 of the WhyWork Podcast begins with sensational media gossip that leads the team, Alan, Sara, and Trajce (aka “Ziggy,” the pop music master), down a pathway of discussion on the bounds of workplace dismissal. Yes, the Coldplay incident. Trajce asks about reasonable workplace treatment when the scope of query encroaches upon one's personal life. They discuss what happens when a worker is caught “pashing off” with someone unexpected and the taboos around workplace relationships. Trajce uses another example - when an employee refuses to take an alcohol breath test to demonstrate fitness for work.The podcasters embrace discussion on psychosocial risk management and codes of practice, standards, and guidance material which is just dripping into feeling states. Trajce is concerned about work relations that confuse judgments. Alan defends against Trajce's contest and debate on attitudinal versus behavioural breaches, while Sara explores ideas on leveraging company policy to institute ego assertions from people in power. “I do what I wanna do,” she raps, an excerpt of a song she has in mind during these times.For more on Psychosocial Risk Management, check out: PRAiSE (Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Integrated Solutions for Employers) – Certified Assessor and Manager programs - and PRA, the new task-based Psychosocial Risk Analyser feature within the ErgoAnalyst software platform.

Season 08 Episode 13: Re-release Episode: Kozorov and the Need for PurposeWARNING: This episode refers to traumas involving children - we advise listener discretion.We re-release S01 E13 in the wake of growing concerns about psychosocial risk management in the workplace. This case is about vicarious trauma - the long-term psychological distress that can arise among workers arising from secondary exposures to traumatic events. In this case, it s about a lawyer who encounters real-world accounts of horrific circumstances - such as suicide and child pornography.Exposure to secondary trauma is a reality of work for many people, including those who must analyse the complex nature of these events and grapple with treatment of perpetrators and victims. Secondary trauma can affect professionals like first responders and healthcare workers. This case explores the impact of this vicarious trauma. For some, the exposures threaten quality of life and cause deep distress, even leading to suicide.For more on Psychosocial Risk Management, check out: PRAiSE (Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Integrated Solutions for Employers) – Certified Assessor and Manager programs - and PRA, the new task-based Psychosocial Risk Analyser feature within the ErgoAnalyst software platform.

Season 08 Episode 10: Darth Vader and the handshake of deathAlan, Trajce, and Sara start this episode in discussion about the social etiquette of handshakes. Alan advocates for the politeness of the handshake in business negotiations, and Trajce explains his handshake aversions, and the origins of a handshake.In this reverie, Trajce reflects on his support band, warming up big names in the 1980's, like The Village People and Kim Wilde. Sara shares details bout her fun night out listening to Tyne James Organ and Jacob Fitzgerald & the Electric City live at a local venue.On the serious side, Trajce tells a sensation story about a claimant and her award from the Employment Tribunal in the UK, National Health Service. The claimant was awarded money to recover financial loss and punitive costs because of injury, especially to cover her upset feelings, resulting in her mental health disorders. Her grievances included her allegations of the management's poor grievance processes a lack of support through tailored training or engagement, and she was given little control and agency over her work. Sara interprets the concerns in context to psychosocial risk factors. “The kicker,” explains Trajce, and much to Alan's surprise, “is the concern about her colleague labelling her ‘Darth Vader' in a workplace personality typography test.”For more on Psychosocial Risk Management, check out: PRAiSE (Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Integrated Solutions for Employers) – Certified Assessor and Manager programs - and PRA, the new task-based Psychosocial Risk Analyser feature within the ErgoAnalyst software platform. These tools are helping teams visualise, quantify, qualify, and respond to both contextualised physical and psychosocial workplace risks, merging technical rigour with empathy-driven co-design.

Season 08 Episode 09: Psychosocial Hazard SaladIn this episode, the team discusses the challenges in the contemporary workplace of managing the complexity of psychosocial risks that can cause mental health disorders among workers – disorders like anxiety, stress, low mood, and depression. Sara laments the literature and assessment approaches that reveal the “What?” without explaining the “SO What?” and “NOW What?” Alan loves that level of thinking, acknowledging that without this level of guidance, businesses can spin their wheels, directionless. Sara explains a research paper on necessary condition analysis describing four factors that, in their absence, preclude a diagnosis of depression, offering a unique perspective in occupational health diagnostics. Trajce explains the importance of language in legal dictums, weaving in his concerns about risk management legislative language, such as “as low are reasonability possible,” versus “so far as is reasonably practicable.” He's passionate about this and wrote about this recently under the framework of the mining industry, in his article, “Mining Work Health, Safety Laws and Serious Industrial Crimes in Australia: Down the Shaft of Jurisdictional Inconsistency.”Sara introduces the launch of PRAiSETM (Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Integrated Solutions for Employers) – Certified Assessor and Manager programs - and PRA, the new task-based Psychosocial Risk Analyser feature within the ErgoAnalyst software platform. These tools are helping teams visualise, quantify, qualify, and respond to both physical and psychosocial risks in context, merging technical rigour with empathy-driven co-design.

Season 08 Episode 08: Levellin' Up: Health Screening vs Human Rights“It is my human right to grab a meat pie from the local pie cart,” Trajce defends his actions. “Everyone is stressed, so what is your stress level?” enquires Alan, in his effort to empathise and disarm a respondent. “What's your level, not your age, but your level?” asks Sara, “We're levelling up – that's empowering!”This episode extends discussion on the events surrounding S08 E02: Christmas Day Code Blue. In this episode, the WhyWork crew dig into the uncomfortable truth that many wellness initiatives are a shiny distraction from the core work-related manifestations of harm. Recognising that work is linked to wellbeing, the legal pundits, Trajce and Alan, dig into regulatory materials to determine if the legislation reference the term “wellbeing” as a workplace obligation.The team debate obligations and terminology - health, welfare, wellness, wellbeing, and wholeness - and how the meaning of these terms might alter depending on each person. Trajce questions the logic of yoga rooms in toxic work environments. Alan reminds us that if work is designed poorly, no fruit bowl or mindfulness session will make up for it.Together, the team explores how psychosocial hazards, like role conflict, chronic heavy workloads, and low support, erode wellbeing. They query design strategies to improve these conditions. Spoiler alert: it starts with good work design and ends with authentic leadership.Sara espouses the benefits of sense-making in organisational psychosocial risk management sharing details about her team's new online material, workshop training, and collaborative development of a software feature in digital risk management software-as-a-service: Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Integrated Solutions for Employers (PRAiSE) with both the PRAiSE Certified Assessor and PRAiSE Certified Manager program, complementing the Psychosocial Risk Analyser (PRA) feature in ErgoAnalyst.This one's for the safety leaders, HR teams, and execs who want to move beyond platitudes and into prevention and health promotion.

Season 08 Episode 07: Danger, Design, and Digital RealitiesWARNING: This episode discusses injuries caused by recreational fixed plan – we advise listener discretion.“How do you design better work when the risks are invisible, intangible, or hard to map?" asks Trajce. In this forward-thinking episode, the WhyWork crew explores how Shared Virtual Presence (SVP) is transforming the way organisations approach risk, work design, and collaboration.Trajce shares his perspective on the value of SVP in creating shared language and visible systems thinking, and Alan digs into how digitised assessments are finally bringing mental health into mainstream safety design. Alan and Trajce dig around to see how legislators included concepts of “workplace wellbeing” in their materials. Conversely, Sara challenges Trajce to think about design experts who can think like a criminal to combat crime in work and product design, “Boys will be boys,” says Trajce, which is a statement that Sara challenges.Continuing the theme on recreation and risk, the team recall more related cases that exemplify foreseeability challenges.Sara introduces the launch of PRAiSE (Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Integrated Solutions for Employers) and PRA, the new task-based Psychosocial Risk Analyser feature within the ErgoAnalyst software platform. These tools are helping teams visualise, quantify, and respond to both physical and psychosocial risks in context, merging technical rigour with empathy-driven co-design (Digital Solutions Development through ViVID Design Labs).This episode is for leaders, designers, and problem-solvers looking to embed real change - digitally, visually, and collaboratively.Other episodes addressing theme park and recreation-as-work:S03 E05: Whakaari – The Smouldering DragonS03 E06: Cha-Cha-Chat Thrill RidesS03 E07: Intentional Design & Submersibles

Season 08 Episode 05: Is it a crime? The syrupy sweetness of criminal recovery, comebacks, and swearing in the workplaceWARNING: This episode discusses human rights breaches - we advise listener discretion.Does a criminal record mean a life sentence of unemployment? This episode dives into how past convictions keep people locked out of work. Alan reflects, “Inclusive hiring isn't charity. It's good business sense. We should not define skills and character by a past conviction.” Alan recounts a case of a government employee hampered by a past criminal investigation. Listen in to learn about the results of this worker's subsequent appeal to the Human Rights Commission. Trajce offers, “When we shut people out because of old mistakes, we create cycles of disadvantage that hurt everyone—individuals, families, and communities.”Alan also shares a story about the punitive treatment of a manager whose swearing at a barista prompted a workplace review. “Someone needed their caffeine,” remarks Sara. The workplace investigated reproachable behaviours occurring outside of the principal place of work. The retelling of this story triggers bloopers and bleepers in this episode! For more on swearing at work, check out AIHS story on recent rulings by the Fair Work Commission on swearing in the workplace.Listen to this episode as the podcasters untangle the legal, social, and human sides of criminal records and employment. Find out how some employers are leading with fairness in and out of the workplace, and why workplaces that give second chances often discover untapped loyalty and talent.To learn more about Psychosocial Risk Management and Integrated Solutions for Employers (PRAiSE), check out ViVID Design Labs - Designs: https://www.vividdesignlabs.com.au/vivid-designs/

Season 08 Episode 04: Nipple Tweaks & Bottom Taps: The border between play and predatory assaultWARNING: This episode includes discussion on sexual harassment - we advise listener discretion.Ever wondered when ‘just joking' becomes sexual harassment? In this eye-opening episode, we unpack real stories of workplace encounters that cross the line—like unwanted bottom taps or nipple tweaks (Are these ever really okay?!) . Alan, Trajce, and Sara discuss why dismissing these actions as both banter and play lets disrespect thrive. Sara says, “We need to normalise calling out these moments, not laugh them off.” Trajce adds, “People think it's harmless fun until someone finally speaks up—or leaves the job. Then everyone asks, ‘How did we miss the signs?'”The podcasters break down how micro-assaults affect safety, culture, and performance, while exploring what leaders and colleagues can do when playful turns predatory. Join us as we unpack why micro-assaults like these matter, what the law says about sexual harassment, and how organisations can build cultures that stop them before they start. Alan reflects: “These aren't grey areas. When someone's uncomfortable, that's the line. If you're not sure, ask—or just don't do it.”Expect honest chat, expert insights, and a few laughs as we explore the sticky realities of personal space and respect at work.To learn more about Psychosocial Risk Management and Integrated Solutions for Employers (PRAiSE), check out ViVID Design Labs - Designs: https://www.vividdesignlabs.com.au/vivid-designs/

Season 08 Episode 03: Too much to carry: The case that alters the landscape of mining prosecutionsWARNING: In this episode, the podcasters discuss extreme mental health duress - we advise listener discretion.Noone died. But two workers were emotionally broken by the weight of their jobs – this time, the system noticed.In this episode of WhyWork, we explore a landmark $1.2M enforceable undertaking in mining. Not for a collision, Not for a fire. Not for an explosion. And not for a fatality, but for two finance staff affected by their crushing workloads, blurred roles, and the organisational injustice that led to a breach of duty. The WhyWork team discuss a landmark regulatory prosecution in the mining sector for psychosocial harm where no physical injury or fatality occurred - two finance professionals were exposed to serious breaches in duty of care under Section 19 in Australian workplace health and safety law.“No hazard tape, no broken bones – just people who were no longer coping,” reflects Sara. “This is section 19 – it matters,” Trajce concurs. This is the case that relates mental health harm owing to serious workplace responsibility. “This is a moment of accountability in an industry built on grit,” Alan agrees. It is a reminder that collapse isn't always accompanied with sirens – it sometimes like the management of an overflowing, ‘chokka' inbox at midnight.Sara urges Trajce and Alan to consider the logic in making sense of ‘psychosocial hazard salad.' She uses the ‘BLT sandwich' analogy of Professor Jan Dul and his recent article on the four factors presenting necessary conditions of developing depression: baseline depressive symptoms, self-criticism, rumination, and stressful events.For more on psychosocial risk management, check out the new Psychosocial Risk Analyser feature - powered by ViVA health at work through a ViVID Design Labs collaboration - in ErgoAnalyst (v3.0). Additionally, ViVA health at work offer the PRAiSE - Psychosocial Risk Analyser and Integrated Solutions for Employers - program.

The different parts of the nervous system (or CNS for short), including the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, are important drug targets for many serious diseases affecting human health. As the body's processing center, the CNS is responsible for all functions of our bodies, including thoughts, emotions, memories, and behaviors. Unsurprisingly, drugs working on the CNS are subject to stringent regulatory requirements, and specialized safety assessments are often mandated. To confirm CNS activity without safety concerns, dedicated nonclinical and early phase clinical studies, with relevant endpoints and biomarkers, and supporting bioanalysis, are needed; and drug manufacturing must be carefully managed via rigorous handling and production processes. Engaging at the outset with a fully integrated and experienced drug development partner can ensure safety, with timely sharing of data at every step of the drug development plan, and facilitate agile, flexible decision-making and planning.

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Shelly Kramer is joined by Carol Wilder, Vice President of Integrated Solutions for Dell Technologies, to talk about the latest in AIOps. IT teams today are under an immense amount of pressure. They are trying to drive their digital transformation journeys forward, they are trying to simplify their operations in on-prem infrastructure, protecting data in the cloud, dealing with massive amounts of data that is growing at an exponential rate — and they are also focused on ways to do more with less. If you're in IT, you're probably nodding along right now. So how do these teams and organizations handle the pressure? That's exactly what Carol and Shelly discussed. Our conversation covered: An overview of the worldwide AIOps market, which by some estimates will grow to almost $41 billion by 2026. Why there is so much demand for AIOps and the benefits it can deliver to IT teams as well as how AIOps differs from legacy IT tools. Where Dell's AIOps offering fits into the marketplace, as well as some of the benefits customers can experience which include, improved performance and availability of critical business applications, reduced time from problem detection to resolution, predictive analytics, optimized system performance, and cost savings. The value of being able to anticipate issues rather reacting to issues. Carol walked Shelly through what the future of AIOps holds and shared her thoughts on what IT teams can expect moving forward in terms of features and capabilities. Last but never least, Carol shared some thoughts on the future for Dell CloudIQ, their AIOps offering. If you're ready to relieve some of the burden and pressure on your IT team, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. 

Surfing the NASH Tsunami hosts its first episode dedicated to nutrition and NASH with distinguished guest, Prof. Shira Zelber-Sagi. Surfing alongside this rich discussion are Ken Cusi, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green.Ken begins this conversation by extending his ideas around the need for US insurance companies to support integrated solutions. Louise asks Ken whether he believes things will change when new anti-NASH drugs are approved. Ken states that in his dealings over the years with insurance companies, obesity management has been regarded as an expense, not an investment. He notes Western democracies in general have neglected to invest in obesity management.Roger revisits the theme of finding value in apps and digital interventions. Shira believes that while they can be a helpful tool for many, they cannot replace human interaction. Ken agrees and elaborates that while an app can catalyze momentum, motivation often wanes after several months. Those trying moments are exactly when Ken envisions human intervention to be critical. Jörn returns to the idea that patients need to develop the habit of regular dietician visits. He says he might adopt Shira's “haircut” metaphor, whereby maintenance visits are conducted every month or two. As the conversation winds down, Louise and Shira discuss the idea that while allied providers do not have the time for full-fledged behavioral therapy, they can provide information and support that helps patients improve.

In this podcast, I spoke with Hanna Lesch Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at Exothera about viral vector manufacturing. We discussed current industry needs and challenges, scalability, end to end solutions, and key insights to a successful manufacturing and approval process. I began the discussion by asking Hanna about the viral vector manufacturing that she is working on at Exothera. She explained that Exothera is a Belgium-based CDMO delivering customized process development and GMP manufacturing services for gene therapy and viral vector-based vaccines. In 18 months, they built their new facilities with a GMP qualified manufacturing area of 2100 square meters. They have flexible manufacturing solutions for adherent or suspension scale and can accommodate small to large scale manufacturing up to 2000 L. Next, I asked if she could share her thoughts on current industry needs in terms of commercial scale production of viral vectors. She said that Exothera was founded to tackle two of the most critical challenges that manufacturers face in bringing advanced therapies to market – lack of production capacity and a shortage of bioprocessing expertise. Another area of focus is on cost of goods, as the cost of manufacturing a gene therapy product is significantly higher compared to conventional products. To reach as many patients as possible these treatments will need to be significantly less expensive. To succeed in this, Hanna believes that the industry needs to overcome several challenges, including development of standardized processes, consistent product quality, and improving manufacturing yields. She added that today there are also major time constraint risks because of delays in raw materials or consumable supply. We then discussed scalability and how Exothera manages their scale up needs. Hanna described how Exothera provides access to platforms, technical know-how and facilities to speed clients' product development time. She said that Exothera has built their capability to serve process development from their parameter screening supported by design of experiments (DOEs), small scale bioreactors for process development, middle scale for process confirmation and large scale systems to meet high yield expectations. All available in both suspension and adherent cell culture. She stated that it is key to be able to provide the full path for the product lifecycle. Then, I asked her how integrated end-to-end solutions can benefit viral vector manufacturing. She explained that end-to-end solutions can provide a fast track to clinic for their clients. This is supported by a strong technical, analytical and bioprocess know-how. These solutions also minimize the potential risks and surprises during development, providing lower cost and better predictability. She shared an example where they started a collaboration project aiming for quick AAV process scale-up into a 2000 Liter bioreactor in a very short time frame. Working with end-to-end providers, like Pall Corporation, is key to helping Exothera implement new technologies and infrastructure very quickly. She emphasized that time is money. I then followed up and asked what advice she had for others who need scale up solutions. Hanna shared that making critical decisions about the manufacturing process carefully is important, as this can drastically increase the chances of succeeding the first time. Second, select an easily scalable technology. Last, know your viral construct to avoid any surprises later and ensure regulatory compliance and a solid testing strategy for both your product and your process to achieve a straightforward approval. I closed the interview by asking Hanna if she had anything else to add for listeners. She said that if you don't have a manufacturing platform ready, it is important to find the right partner who can support your development and your manufacturing success. She also told me that she has an upcoming webinar,
