Podcasts about Integration

Abdallah und Ramla, ein somalisches Geschwisterpaar mit langer und komplizierter Fluchtgeschichte, sind endlich in Berlin angekommen. Sie lernen deutsch. Sie schreiben Bestnoten in der Schule, beide schaffen das Abitur. Ambitioniert sind sie, fleißig, intelligent und clever. Aber ihr Aufenthaltsstatus wird immer nur „verlängert“, die Unsicherheit bleibt. Und je weiter sich Abdallah in die deutsche Gesellschaft integriert, umso schwieriger wird die Kommunikation mit seiner Schwester … Verlieren sich die früher unzertrennlichen Geschwister auf dem langen Weg der Integration? – Eine Langzeitbeobachtung. Von Julia Illmer und Massimo Maio DLF 2024

Europe's macro outlook is shifting. After years of fiscal restraint and fragmented policy, the region is entering a new chapter one centered on pro-growth fiscal policy, energy security, and capital-market reform. For investors, this transformation signals the potential for renewed momentum in European equities and fixed income.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for EMEA Fundamental Equities, and Roelof Salomons, Chief Investment Strategist for Northern Europe at the BlackRock Investment Institute, about how Europe's evolving macro and investing environment is creating new opportunities across sectors.They explore how fiscal flexibility is enabling investment in productivity and innovation, how energy transition and AI demand are reshaping infrastructure and power markets, and why European banks, defense companies, and energy-efficiency leaders have emerged as standouts. The conversation also looks at the valuation gap between Europe and the U.S., the implications of potential ECB rate cuts, and what reforms could drive a broader, more durable resurgence.Key Takeaways:· Europe's shift toward fiscal flexibility marks its first explicitly pro-growth stance in over a decade.· The intersection of energy transition and AI is driving infrastructure and power investment.· Banks, defense, and efficiency-focused industrials remain strong performers.· Europe still trades at a discount to the U.S., offering selective opportunity.· Integration of capital markets could unlock long-term competitiveness.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Europe's Economic Challenges and Optimism01:10 Meet the Experts: Helen Jewell and Roelof Salomons02:17 Historical Context: Europe's Economic Journey03:51 Current Barriers and Progress in Europe05:40 Sector Focus: Defense, Banks, and Energy08:49 Fiscal Policy and Unified European Growth10:33 Energy and AI: The Long-Term Investment Landscape14:30 Valuation and Market Opportunities in Europe17:17 Conclusion: Path to a Broad Resurgence in Europe19:21 Closing Remarks and Future OutlookEurope investing; Europe macro; European equities; investing in Europe; capital-markets union; energy transition Europe; European fiscal policy; European banks; AI power demand; ECB rate cuts; BlackRock Investment Institute; European defense; valuation gap; competitiveness in EuropeSources: “What's needed for an investment renaissance in Europe?”, BlackRock Investment Institute, October 2025; NATO, August 2025; BlackRock Fundamental Equities analysis, September 2025; “Entering The Age of Electricity”, IEA Electricity Demand 2025;This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

In this episode of Nevermind The Pain Points, we dive into the complexities and challenges organisations face during post-merger and acquisition (M&A) transformations.  Host and Clarasys Subscription and Customer Experience Practice Lead Tom Carpenter is joined by Rebecca Clark of Sojourn Solutions, a marketing operations consultancy, and Moray Busch, who heads the M&A practice at Clarasys, to explore how to successfully navigate integration.  The discussion focuses on the need for early preparation, including setting a clear vision and involving on-the-ground teams from the start, as well as the importance of establishing clear decision-making authority and governance to operationalise the program. They outline the critical roles for an effective integration team, including C-suite sponsorship, SMEs, and a product ownership function to manage technology and business tension. Ultimately, they argue that M&A is an opportunity for transformative change, advocating for using Customer Experience (CX) to resolve internal conflicts and urging companies to adopt a 'greenfield' architectural mindset over simply performing a transactional 'find-and-replace' integration.  Packed with practical advice on people, process, and technology, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in an M&A transformation program.  Listen here or visit our website for the transcript: https://clarasys.com/insights/thinking/podcast/navigating-post-merger-integration-challenges-and-opportunities

Microsoft has launched Agent 365, a management platform designed for overseeing AI agents within enterprise environments. This platform, now available in early access, includes features such as the Microsoft Entra Registry for managing agent identities, risk-based access policies, and performance measurement tools. The introduction of Agent 365 signifies a shift towards integrating AI agents into standard business operations, allowing organizations to manage both Microsoft-built and third-party AI agents in a unified system. This development is part of a broader trend where AI governance and customer expectations are becoming increasingly critical for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).In conjunction with the launch of Agent 365, Microsoft has formed strategic partnerships with NVIDIA and Anthropic to enhance access to Anthropic's Cloud AI model, which will be scaled on Microsoft Azure. Anthropic has committed to purchasing $30 billion in Azure compute capacity, indicating a significant investment in cloud infrastructure. This partnership will allow Microsoft Foundry customers to access various versions of Anthropic's AI models, further solidifying Microsoft's position in the AI landscape. The implications of these partnerships extend to the operational costs and strategies of organizations that rely on AI, as the control of compute resources becomes a central factor in AI deployment.Additional announcements from Microsoft Ignite include new AI capabilities for Windows 11 and enhancements to Office applications, which will introduce free AI features aimed at improving user productivity. Vendors such as NinjaOne, Pax8, and Nerdio have also announced integrations and initiatives to align with Microsoft's evolving ecosystem, focusing on improving visibility, compliance, and modernization of virtual desktop infrastructure. These developments reflect a concerted effort by various companies to integrate more deeply into Microsoft's cloud and AI frameworks.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these advancements underscore the necessity of adapting to a rapidly changing technological landscape. The introduction of AI agents and the associated governance requirements will demand that MSPs develop frameworks for managing AI behavior and expectations. As AI features become standard in widely used applications, MSPs will need to address client expectations regarding AI functionality and reliability. The consolidation of media narratives around cybersecurity also highlights the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective on technology strategy, ensuring that MSPs focus on comprehensive solutions that address a range of client needs beyond just security. Three things to know today 00:00 Microsoft Signals Shift to an “Agentic OS” as Microsoft Deepens Anthropic Partnership and Expands AI Across Windows and Microsoft 36507:29 Ignite Highlights Vendor Rush Into Microsoft's Orbit, Raising Questions About MSP Differentiation and Over-Standardization11:57 CyberRisk Alliance Buys ChannelPro — and Shifts the MSP Storyline Toward Security This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

By Adam Turteltaub The rise of generative AI has brought transformative potential to healthcare—from streamlining administrative tasks to supporting clinical decision-making. But alongside these benefits comes a growing concern: Shadow AI. Alex Tyrrell, Chief Technology Officer, Health at Wolters Kluwer explains in this podcast that this term refers to the use of unauthorized, unmonitored AI tools within organizations. In healthcare, where data privacy and patient safety are paramount, Shadow AI presents a unique and urgent challenge both now and in the future. Healthcare professionals often turn to generative AI tools with good intentions—hoping to reduce documentation burdens, improve workflows, or gain insights from complex data. However, many of these tools are unproven large language models (LLMs) that operate as black boxes. They're prone to hallucinations, lack transparency in decision-making, and may inadvertently expose Protected Health Information (PHI) to the open internet. This isn't just a theoretical risk. The use of public AI tools on personal devices or in clinical settings can lead to serious consequences, including: Privacy violations Legal and regulatory non-compliance Patient harm due to inaccurate or misleading outputs Despite these risks, many healthcare organizations lack visibility into how and when these tools are being used. According to recent data, only 18% of organizations have a formal policy governing the use of generative AI in the workplace, and just 20% require formal training for employees using these tools. It's important to recognize that most employees aren't using Shadow AI to be reckless—they're trying to solve real problems. The lack of clear guidance, approved tools, and education creates a vacuum that Shadow AI fills. Without a structured approach, organizations end up playing a game of whack-a-mole, reacting to issues rather than proactively managing them. So, what can healthcare organizations do to address Shadow AI without stifling innovation? Audit and Monitor Usage Start with what you can control. For organization-issued devices, conduct periodic audits to identify unauthorized AI usage. While personal devices are harder to monitor, you can still gather feedback from employees about where they see value in generative AI. This helps surface use cases that can be addressed through approved tools and structured programs. Procure Trusted AI Tools Use procurement processes to source AI tools from vetted vendors. Look for solutions with: Transparent decision-making processes Clear documentation of training data sources No use of patient data or other confidential information for model training Avoid tools that lack explainability or accountability—especially those that cannot guarantee data privacy. Establish Structured Governance Governance isn't just about rules—it's about clarity and oversight. Develop a well-articulated framework that includes: Defined roles and responsibilities for AI oversight Risk assessment protocols Integration with existing compliance and IT governance structures Make sure AI governance is not siloed. Those managing AI tools should be at the table during strategic planning and implementation. Educate and Engage Education is the cornerstone of responsible AI use. Employees need to understand not just the risks, but also the right way to use AI tools. Offer formal training, create open forums for discussion, and build a culture of transparency. When people feel informed and supported, they're more likely to choose safe, approved tools. Protect PHI with Precision In clinical workflows, PHI is often unavoidable. That's why it's critical to: Deidentify patient data whenever possible Ensure only authorized systems, processes, and personnel have access to PHI Maintain up-to-date business associate agreements and data processing contracts

Nate Pope is a neuro occupational therapist with a remarkable career spanning over 20 years. Nate's expertise is uniquely split between pediatrics, where he spent two decades as a school-based OT, and concussion recovery. Driven by seeing the challenges of post-concussion syndrome firsthand, he founded NCX Brain Recovery, a clinic dedicated to restoring hope and function. Summary Description:What if the key to healing from a brain injury isn't focusing on one thing at a time, but doing the exact opposite? In this enlightening follow-up conversation, neuro OT Nate Pope returns to dive deep into the transformative concept of multisensory integration—the practice of engaging the entire brain simultaneously to break bad neural habits and promote true healing.We explore why traditional, "siloed" therapies often fall short for those with post-concussion syndrome, strokes, and even conditions like anxiety and depression, and how Nate's clinic's intensive model is achieving remarkable recoveries. Nate explains the "just right challenge," why avoiding overstimulation can sometimes hinder recovery, and how his team carefully guides patients through the very activities that once overwhelmed them.Beyond the clinic, we discuss practical "healthy brain habits" everyone can adopt, including the profound benefits of getting outside, embracing novelty, and pursuing your passions. Nate leaves us with a powerful message of hope: your brain is far more capable of recovery than you may have been led to believe.Mentioned Resources:Nate's Clinic: NCX Brain RecoveryWebsite: https://www.ncxbrainrecovery.com/Email: nate@ncxbrainrecovery.comFree Consultations: Nate's clinic offers free consultations to help guide you on your path to recovery.Previous Episode: Check out Nate's first appearance on Episode 61 for more foundational insights:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCN4BVdyAPk&t=1sKey Concepts Discussed:Multisensory Integration (Whole-Brain Therapy)Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)Intensive Therapy Model (vs. traditional once-a-week therapy)The "Just Right Challenge"Healthy Brain Habits (novelty, passion, getting outside)Recovery for Stroke, Anxiety, Depression, and Long COVIDPodcast Host Contact Information:Bethany Lewis, The Concussion CoachWebsite: www.theconcussioncoach.comFree Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Available at www.theconcussioncoach.comCoaching: Sign up for a free consultation for Bethany's concussion coaching HERE

In this deeply supportive session, Christine coaches Kelly, who is learning to open her heart to healthy love after leaving a toxic marriage. Kelly recently met someone kind and emotionally available—but her nervous system keeps sending mixed signals, leaving her wondering whether it's intuition or fear. Christine helps her understand how the body stores memories of past trauma, how to distinguish real red flags from old triggers, and how to gently retrain the nervous system to feel safe in love again. Together, they explore what integration looks like after healing work—when awareness turns into embodiment. If you've ever questioned your body's signals, struggled to trust love again, or feared repeating old patterns, this conversation will bring deep clarity and compassion. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you mistake fear for intuition—or intuition for fear? Have past painful relationships made it hard to feel safe in love? Are you waiting to be "fully healed" before allowing intimacy in? How do you respond when someone truly shows up for you? Key Insights and A-HAs: The nervous system often reacts to memories, not the present moment. Fear can mean danger—or it can mean expansion. Integration is the bridge between awareness and embodiment. Healing doesn't mean fear disappears; it means you relate to it differently. Safe love can still feel unfamiliar—and that's okay. How to Deepen the Work: Journal about how your body reacts when someone is kind, consistent, or loving. Write down red flags from past relationships to clarify what's truly unsafe. Practice "titration": letting love in slowly, without judgment. Notice when your nervous system feels unsettled and speak to it with compassion. Remind yourself: you can feel fear and stay open to love. Sponsor: Cured Nutrition Need more energy and focus without the crash?

What if the very parts of me I've been told to hide are the ones that make me whole?Lately, I've been reflecting on how often we tuck away pieces of ourselves to fit the moment — the job, the relationship, the image we think others want to see. But the truth is, the more we shelve, the more disconnected we become from our own essence. Integration, not perfection, is where peace lives.There was a time when I believed that sharing certain truths about myself would make me appear weak or too much. But every time I hid, I felt further from my own center. The moment I started showing up as the unfiltered version of me — even when it felt uncomfortable — I began to feel whole again.Here's what you'll take away from today's episode:Why hiding parts of yourself creates distance from your truth.How integration leads to peace and personal freedom.What to ask yourself when you feel tempted to mask or shrink.The difference between privacy and self-protection vs. self-erasure.A reminder that every part of you — even the messy and tender ones — holds wisdom.Thank you for tuning in to Empowering Her.

Episode OverviewWhat if your body has been trying to communicate with you, and you've just forgotten how to listen?In this episode, Bryce sits down with Stuart Champion, a performance coach, educator, and founder of Balanced Body Wisdom, to explore the connection between movement, the nervous system, and true embodiment. Stuart shares how years of pain and imbalance became the catalyst for deeper awareness and how he helps others reconnect with their body's natural intelligence.This episode bridges the gap between fitness and feeling, performance and peace, strength and stillness.⸻Time-Stamped Show Notes00:00 – Introduction: The Science of FeelingBryce opens the conversation with the question: What if true strength begins with awareness, not effort?04:45 – Stuart's Story: From Injury to InsightStuart shares how back pain and surgery led him to discover the wisdom of the body and the power of awareness.“Pain isn't punishment, it's information.”11:20 – The Modern DisconnectExploring how many people live from the neck up, disconnected from their body's signals and trapped in survival mode.“The nervous system can't heal in survival mode.”18:50 – Practice One: Current StateHow awareness is the first step toward transformation and why most people are training compensation instead of capacity.“Awareness is the first rep of transformation.”27:10 – Practice Two: Waiting for the Nervous SystemLearning to slow down, create safety, and let the body open naturally instead of forcing adaptation.“Force tells the body what to do. Safety invites it.”36:30 – Practice Three: Equal and OppositesFinding balance through contrast: effort and ease, inhale and exhale, light and dark.“Balance isn't stillness, it's movement in harmony.”44:20 – Practice Four: IntegrationTurning insight into embodiment and understanding why awareness must become action.“Wisdom doesn't live in knowing, it lives in doing.”53:00 – The Art of Play and PresenceHow reconnecting to play restores energy, creativity, and presence.“Play is the purest form of presence.”59:10 – Tools for ReconnectionPractical breathwork, movement, and daily rituals to restore balance and self-awareness.“Breath is the remote control of the nervous system.”1:05:00 – Closing ReflectionsHow Stuart's approach helps people rediscover freedom, stability, and trust in their body's wisdom.⸻Key Takeaways    •    Awareness is the foundation of transformation.    •    You can't out-train a nervous system that doesn't feel safe.    •    True balance exists within contrast: strength and softness, effort and ease.    •    Pain is a signal that you've drifted away from alignment.    •    Breath and play are gateways to restoring natural harmony.⸻Notable Quotes    •    “Stillness is strength in disguise.”    •    “You can't heal if you're stuck in fight or flight.”    •    “Your body is wiser than your mind if you learn to listen.”    •    “Integration is the art of living your lessons.”    •    “Healing isn't about doing more, it's about doing what matters with awareness.”⸻Call to ActionIf this episode inspired you, subscribe to the ALLSMITH Podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share it with someone who's ready to come home to their body.Follow Stuart Champion:Website: wThank you for Listening!

In this moving Veterans Day episode of Ever Forward Radio, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Benjamin Forest opens up about his personal battle with depression, grief, and identity loss after 25 years of service — and how psychedelics became a catalyst for healing, love, and authentic living. He and Chase explore the mental-health crisis among veterans, the epidemic of loneliness and suppressed emotion in men, and how plant medicine, breathwork, and community can help reconnect us to meaning and purpose. Forest shares insights from his book Trip of a Lifetime: The Psychedelic Guide to Healing, Loving & Living, explaining that true recovery requires vulnerability, relational healing, and learning to open the heart — whether through psychedelics or other integrative practices.

Clinical psychologist Dr. Genesee Herzberg joins Kyle to reflect on two decades in trauma work and 15 years inside the psychedelic ecosystem—from early MAPS conferences to running Sage Integrative Health. She traces how personal psychedelic experiences set her on a path of service, research at CIIS on MDMA-assisted therapy, and hands-on roles with MAPS: Zendo Project harm reduction, adherence rating, and ultimately serving as an MDMA therapist in clinical trials. Today she leads Sage, an integrative clinic (psychotherapy, psychiatry, bodywork, acupuncture, and functional nutrition) focused on ketamine-assisted therapy while preparing for MDMA's eventual approval. She also co-founded a sliding-scale KAP nonprofit (now Alchemy Community Therapy Center), co-edited Integral Psychedelic Therapy, and is helping to launch the International Alliance of MDMA Practitioners. In this episode From counterculture to mainstream: What's been gained—and lost—as psychedelics scaled. Accessibility vs. corporatization: Why cutting corners (prep/integration, therapeutic time) undermines outcomes and safety. "Myth of the magic pill": Psychedelics can catalyze change, but healing is an ongoing process anchored by integration. What good care looks like: Preparation → medicine sessions → robust integration, individualized cadence, and adding bodywork and functional medicine to address gut-brain links, mineral status, sleep, and somatic tension. Ketamine realities: Differences between psycholytic (talk-forward) and psychedelic (eyes-closed, inner-directed) dosing; why some need multiple sessions to build relationship with the medicine; risks of mail-order models (high dosing, poor screening/support), daily prescribing, addiction potential, cystitis, and safety concerns. Sitting, not guiding: The therapist's task is to follow the client's process; intervene sparingly and with consent—especially in trauma work where attuned co-regulation is essential. Multiple access pathways: Support for regulated clinical care and community, peer, and ceremonial models—paired with education and harm reduction (Zendo's SIT peer training and new crisis-responder training). The MDMA pause: Initial devastation at the FDA decision gave way to seeing benefits: time to strengthen ethics, accountability, training standards, and to temper hype-driven investment. Pace and ethics: Lessons from burnout; moving at the speed of trust; exploring "psychedelic business models" (stakeholder focus, distributed decision-making, employee ownership, public benefit structures). Resources & organizations mentioned Sage Integrative Health Alchemy Community Therapy Center (sliding-scale KAP) International Alliance of MDMA Practitioners Integral Psychedelic Therapy (edited by Genesee Herzberg, Jason Butler, Richard Miller) Takeaway: Thoughtful preparation, right-sized dosing, and committed integration—held within ethical, community-minded systems—turn powerful experiences into durable change.
