Innovation is about connecting the dots and solving human problems. Without context or story, this will not have ROI. The starting point for any experience-design program is knowing the DNA of the brand and the customers it serves. Just ask Kambiz Hemati, VP, Customer Experience & Environments at American Eagle Outfitters, whose impressive career has put him in the middle of the action with big brands like Foot Locker, Nike, and Starbucks. Twenty years of experience design, focused on innovation and visual aesthetics, have taken him on a journey designed to transform how we shop and the way we live. Kambiz offers a deep look with Liliana Petrova into: why taking care of associates is fundamental to the customer experience, the value of understanding that not all customers are on the same level, why you must look beyond your narrow competition design and seek inspiration in a broader context and across industries, how reiterations, trials and the willingness to accept that half of what you do won't work is key to experience design today, and the importance of creating a holistic experience through all channels, connecting the physical store with the website so that they introduce and complement each other.

Les matinales présentées par Sandrine Sebbane qui reçoit Dina Nayeri pour son livre « Faiseurs d’histoires » aux Presses de la Cité. Dina Nayeri est iranienne, diplômée de Harvard et écrivain. Elle est partie dans ce livre à la rencontre de réfugiés d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. À propos du livre : «Faiseurs d’histoires » paru aux Éditions Presses de la Cité " Je sais bien pourquoi je suis là – je suis venue parce que le monde est en train de tourner le dos aux réfugiés, parce que l'Amérique n'est plus l'Amérique, et que l'Europe suit le même chemin. " Dina Nayeri a une enfance heureuse à Ispahan, malgré la rigueur de la société iranienne. Jusqu'au jour où sa mère, convertie au christianisme, est menacée de mort et fuit le pays avec ses enfants. Pendant deux ans, la famille vit dans la clandestinité avant d'obtenir l'asile aux États-Unis. Dina entreprend alors une métamorphose douloureuse qui la conduit à Princeton, puis à une brillante carrière et un beau mariage. Mais cette existence finit par lui sembler vide de sens. En 2016, pour mieux comprendre son passé et la crise humanitaire qui se joue aux portes de l'Europe, elle part à la rencontre d'autres réfugiés. Au fil des pages, sa voix se mêle à celle des déracinés dont elle a croisé la route. Il y a Valid et Taraa, partis d'Afghanistan pour échapper aux Talibans, Kaweh, un jeune militant kurde devenu avocat ou encore Kambiz, qui s'immolera par le feu... D'une plume aussi émouvante qu'affûtée, Dina Nayeri aborde les thèmes essentiels à la compréhension des réfugiés et de leur expérience. Comment un individu traumatisé doit-il mettre son histoire en scène pour qu'on le juge crédible ? Qui "mérite" d'être sauvé ? Une lettre d'amour à la culture iranienne, une ode à la résilience et un plaidoyer pour l'entraide et l'accueil, dans un monde qui semble se refermer sur lui-même.

A study released by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) claimed that 50% of academic papers are read-only by their authors and journal editors and that 90% of these are never cited. This means that most, if not all, of the innovations that can be found in businesses, industries, and manufacturing have no academic basis and do not come from recommendations from business schools. According to this week's guest, Professor Kambiz Maani, the findings of the AACSB signifies that no one finds much value in academic papers when it comes to innovations and best practices in various industries and that they look within the business space alone for innovations and best practices for just-in-time manufacturing, total quality management, and enterprise resource planning. It was this realization that made Professor Maani decide to start the Annual Research Translation Competition at Massey University with the intention of making business research more relevant and useful to the public and to business managers. Professor Maani is an internationally acknowledged expert in systems thinking and complexity. His academic and consulting career spans over 30 years in the US, Asia, Australia, and South America. His academic portfolio includes being the Foundation Chair in Systems Thinking, and Practice at the University of Queensland, being the Division and Department Head at the University of Auckland, and being an Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor at Massey Business School. He has also held visiting positions at MIT, London Business School, Boston University, Cornell, and the Helsinki School of Economics.  Professor Maani’s work focuses on complexity management and group decision making and he has been the recipient of several research and publication awards from scholarly journals. His current projects include strategy and policy design in climate change and sustainability. He has advised numerous corporations and government agencies in Australia, New Zealand, the US, China, and Asia, and he also provides seminars in corporate training internationally. Professor Maani is the author of internationally acclaimed books that are used widely at universities, governments, and organizations around the world. His latest book, Multi-Stakeholder Decision Making for Complex Problems was published by the World Scientific press in 2017 which features his consulting projects for UNESCO Biospheres in Asia. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [00:39] Mark introduces his guest, Professor Kambiz Maani [03:34] Why Professor Maani created the Annual Research Translation Competition [11:02] Professor Maani discusses why academic research risk losing funding  [15:55] The importance of using jargon-free language when translating research  [17:45] What is systems thinking and why is it important? [22:31] How Professor Maani became a pioneer of systems thinking  [28:06] Professor Maani shares success stories and the benefits of the application of systems thinking Connect with Professor Maani  Professor Kambiz Maani on LinkedIn Multi-Stakeholder Decision Making for Complex Problems by Kambiz Maani Why Academic Research Remains Abstract And Mostly Unusable Research done by academia is fascinating. They have uncovered many different ways to improve on the way things work and offer a wealth of information on the ways to innovate and improve practices for businesses, industries, and manufacturing. But the problem lies in the ability of these research pieces to be translated into a narrative that regular folks will understand. Professor Kambiz Maani found out that the reason why innovations in businesses and industries do not use research provided by academia is that it’s full of jargon that does not resonate with people. And the problem is rooted in the definition of success for research which is measured by citations. This has made research studies into a massive industry where publishers are merely looking at citations as proof for journal quality and journal impact factors. Instead of becoming a resource of knowledge for businesses and industries, researchers have become unknowing contributors locked into a disconnected system. So how then do we tap into the capability of research to be a useful resource for relevant solutions in addressing pressing issues in society? The answer, according to Professor Maani, is systems thinking.  Improving the way you do and translate research  With academia not being able to convey its findings properly with key stakeholders and with the general public, it faces the risk of having their funding significantly reduced. Therefore, it is crucial for academics to focus on research that addresses a significant issue in business and society, and then to turn their findings into a narrative that can be easily understood and grasped and implemented by the community.  One way to do this is to reduce the scientific jargon used in papers and instead use easy-to-understand yet accurate terms instead. Professor Maani says that by refusing to be boxed into the idea that the primary audience for research are peers in academia, it opens up the vast opportunities for translation for academics. By embracing the idea that industry stakeholders and the public are the ultimate beneficiaries of research, it will be easier to adapt the research into a language that everyone can understand. Why systems thinking is expedient for researchers Although much of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs are hinged on reductionism by researchers, it is easy to lose the essence of each piece and parcel along the way. This then complicates the processes that should work as a unified whole and instead, creates a convoluted system that is inefficient and may even prove to be ineffective. In society and policy, Professor Maani says that we have seen the effect of that mentality in isolated policies that create winners, losers, and trade-off decisions that are based on seeing things in isolation and rather than seeing the whole picture. For research to become more relevant to society, academics need to learn to practice systems thinking so that they can better bring together the pieces of a study that they have dissected in the process.

If you talked with someone in charge of a major aspect of retail at Foot Locker, you’d think the conversation would have something to do with sneakers. And although the topic of "sneakerheads" was unavoidably mentioned, the real focus is: the critical impact Store Design has on customer experience. And how even basics such as lighting and sound can have a major effect on retail success.  Kambiz Hemati, VP of Global Retail Design for  Foot Locker (a leading global athletic footwear and apparel retailer, which caters to the sneaker enthusiast), shares the importance of learning from retail concepts outside of your sector — the ones who have best in class experiences with customers — and how they can inspire next-level design. He also shares why Starbucks may have played a meaningful role on the Foot Locker store design, and why success with technology might rely more on what’s coming into a store than what’s already in it.

Kambiz Poostchi - Leadership als Gestalter von Systemen "Das Bewusstsein für die Unterscheidung von Führung und Management und das Erkennen der unterschiedlichen Aufgaben, ist eine essentielle Weichenstellung von Führungskräften und UnternehmerInnen gleichermaßen. Die Zeichen der Zeit stehen auf Veränderung, hin zu einem sinnorientierten Handeln, und dem Bewusstsein für etwas Höheres, Übergeordnetes zu dem man einen wertvollen Beitrag liefern möchte - dies liegt in der Natur des Menschen genauso wie der kollektive Umgang mit Vielfalt. Führung braucht Visionen und Führung muss führen." Herr Poostchi vertritt leidenschaftlich die Unterstützung von Menschen in deren Entwicklungsstufen durch Führungskräfte. Den ganzen Menschen wahrnehmen und der Blick für das Ganze sind zukunftsfähige Ausrichtungen, die uns als Gesellschaft weiter bringen werden. Jeder kann einen Beitrag dazu leisten und sich entscheiden welcher Prozess unterstützt wird: der Abbauende oder der Aufbauende.

At various points in the history of medical science, there were diseases that were deemed incurable. Some of these perceived “incurable” diseases, which cures were found for in the 20th century include diphtheria, malaria, measles, pertussis, pneumococcal disease, polio, tetanus, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and smallpox. Breakthroughs in biomedical research led to vaccinations and medications that are common today, and can cure these illnesses. On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Kambiz Shekdar, biotech inventor, founder and president of the Research Foundation to Cure Aids, and former Chief Scientific Officer of Chromocell Corporation, to talk about promising stem cell research and pursuit of the cure for AIDS, as well as some hindrances in the realm of medical science and society which delay our ability to achieve what scientists of the early 20th century were able to in their laboratories. We’ll also talk about RFTCA’s upcoming Halloween Masquerade Ball in NYC!

On Episode 76, Host Steve Rodriguez chats with the President of the new foundation Research Foundation to Cure AIDS, Kambiz Shekdar to discuss his work to cure AIDS and his upcoming fundraising ball for Halloween which will help fund the foundation to begin their important work.

Despite the fact that many American Muslim families have lived in the United States for generations they are often thought of as foreigners. I have witnessed on several occasions someone asking an African American Muslim when they converted to Islam or what drew them to the religion. Or asking Muslims from Middle Eastern or Asian descent where they are from or when they came to America. These questions are not always intended to be malicious but they do underscore some of the assumptions about Muslims in American discourse: Muslims are new members of the United States, whether through immigration or conversion. Kambiz GhaneaBassiri, professor of religion at Reed College, challenges these preconceptions by thoroughly outlining the long history of Muslims in American. His new book, A History of Islam in America: From the New World to the New World Order (Cambridge University Press, 2010) maps the activities of various communities of Muslims from the colonial and antebellum period to the present. His account is rich in detail and offers a vibrant portrait of the encounters and exchanges between Muslim communities and their non-Muslim neighbors. It is by far the most comprehensive historical treatment of the Muslims in America and calls for new approaches in the study of Muslim minority populations more generally. GhaneaBassiri situates Islam within the broad context of the American religious experience and displays the complexity and diversity of American Muslim history. This rigorous and richly documented account also challenges and transcends the flat and monolithic presentation of American Muslims that is typically offered in the current politicized discursive dichotomy between Islam and the West. A History of Islam in America should be essential reading for anyone interested in Muslims in the United States and American religions more generally.
