Company jargon should not be used when describing products to customers. Consider what customers are going to do with the product and align company strategies with that use. Kate shares her experience with merging technology and humanity at early Netflix.   Conversations leaders have about digital transformation  Successful companies are consistently looking ahead to the next technological advancement. Identify what your company is trying to do as well as what customers want to do with your products.   Growing your ideal career Identify companies that interest you and take the initiative to reach out to them. Highlight the skills and expertise that you can bring to a company.  If a position doesn’t exist yet, ask the company if they can create one for your expertise.    The powerful role of strategic optimism   Strategic optimism will help identify the direction your company should be moving.    Consider not only what could go wrong but what to do when things go right.  Set yourself and your team up for success by creating contingencies for every situation, both bad and good.    “Tech Humanist: How You Can Make Technology Better for Business and Better for Humans” by Kate O’Neill Making Waves at C-Level Podcast with Thom Singer   Do you have an example of extraordinary efforts or innovation during these unprecedented times?

Julie and Casey chat with Tech Humanist, Optimistic Futurist, and in-demand keynote speaker Kate O’Neill about the future of technology. As the lines between the digital and physical worlds blur, as AI, automation, algorithms, and data mining increasingly affect our lives, how can we prepare for the future? Along the way, Kate gives us insight into virtual presenting, what it’s like to go viral, why you should think pretty hard before posting those “viral challenges”, and revealing hidden truths without feeding conspiracy theories. TOP TAKEAWAYS: Optimism is not about ignoring the bad stuff, it’s about envisioning and working towards the good. Virtual Keynotes are a great leveler and an opportunity for more immediate and purposeful audience connection. Every opportunity to be authentic is a strategic choice. How can we expect to build products for all of humanity if we don’t have a wide representation of human experience in the room? Data is important because humans create data, and because it represents what we find meaningful. We need to get savvier about how companies are using our data, and about what we give them to use. Sometimes, you gotta reject “A to Z” in favor of “A to . . .

Her brief stint as a wedding singer led her to wonder if she had violated copyright law, an interest which transitioned to tech law broadly and privacy law specifically. While in law school, Schroeder interned for FTC Commissioner Julie Brill, published an article on consent issues and IRBs in the Colorado Technology Law Journal, among other accomplishments distinctions. She developed a focus on consumer protection issues, surveillance, data breaches, and freaking people out at parties. Among the certifications she holds are privacy designations for the U.S., Europe, and Canada. She tweets as @Iwillleavenow. This episode streamed live on Thursday, July 30, 2020.

"All waste is global," said Kate O'Neill, a professor in the the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC Berkeley, at a campus event in February. "What we throw away has value. What we throw away often travels the globe. And that's not just the things we know about like electronic wastes, but also plastics... and things like cars, used cars, secondhand cars, clothes, bikes — even discarded food — will actually travel to some other countries, someplace where it may or may not be used..."O'Neill, author of the 2019 book Waste, gave a Feb. 5 lecture, sponsored by Berkeley’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), about how the things we throw away go through entire lifecycles after we toss them. And she discusses how China's 2017 decision to stop importing paper and plastic scrap in the condition it had been has disrupted the global waste economy and changed how communities around the world recycle.Read a transcript and listen on Berkeley News.

In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by guest Kate O'Neill (author of Tech Humanist: How You Can Make Technology Better for Business and Better for Humans) to discuss how we can leverage AI for good, the need for a transdisciplinary approach to AI, and what it means to be an Optimistic Futurist. Kate talks about her own career path and the holistic, integrative approach to advocates using when employing AI to tackle major societal issues. Connect with us on Twitter @ IBMthinkLeaders (#thinkLeaders) Kate O'Neill @ KateO “There is potential for it [AI] to go badly and there is potential for it to go off the rails. But there is also always so much power to use it for the good of humanity. And that's the way I prefer to be focused to steer us in that direction.” “So even at this stage of A.I., we have demonstrable experience of being able to say, here's a human problem, here's a category of human problems, and here's how we could leverage emerging exponential technology to help humanity solve that problem.” “If we only look at human problems and the solutions to human problems through one lens, like technology or A.I., then we'll only get a very narrow read on it. But if we bring an integrative, holistic lens that has sort of a generalist philosophy, we stand a chance of really recreating human experience writ large in a very meaningful way. And that's the future I would like to see.”

In today’s show, Phil interviews Kate O’Neill, speaker, author, an expert on better tech for business & people, & transformation.  What does humanity mean to Kate? What does “being human” mean? Is it our love and passion that makes us human? Is it our creativity? Or maybe our problem-solving skills? We kickstart today’s show by attempting to answer this rather convoluted question.  With the coronavirus outbreak bringing the whole world to a grinding halt, stresses are at an all-time high. And, fear and uncertainty are at the back of everyone’s mind.   None of us are at our best as we struggle to deal with the stresses of a work-from-home lifestyle. But how many of us remember this while dealing with our family members, colleagues, and clients? How many of us try to maintain an optimistic attitude so that we can be a source of strength to those around us?  Perhaps, displaying humanity has never been as important AND as challenging.   Because of the fallout of the current situation, Kate shares how businesses and professionals are gravitating towards a virtual marketplace/workplace at an unprecedented rate. And this has given rise to its own set of challenges.  First of all, is it really possible for us to create a digital world that exactly mirrors our physical world? Can we anticipate human needs using digital tools like Zoom and chatbots? Can we expect everyone in a virtual workplace to work with 100% honesty and accountability?  Next, Kate shares that this virtual work style will require a major mindset shift. Additionally, we speculate if this virus outbreak will cause a permanent shift in customer behavior.  Towards the end of the show, listeners will be reminded why it is important for each one of us to do our bit and fight this pandemic as a collective.  What You Will Learn In This Show  What does humanity truly mean?  How humanity is truly tested during challenging times  How to strive for a better future and work for a better future in these trying time  How to retain an optimistic outlook as you grapple with the fallout of the pandemic  And much more!  Resources Tech Humanist Creative Warriors Podcast Should a bot have to tell you it’s a bot? Kate’s Website Kate’s Twitter  To see more from Phil: https://www.philmjones.com/words-with-friends/ Want to discover "Exactly" what to say:  https://www.philmjones.com/sales-training-books/

At a time when resources are under great pressure, waste is one of the few resources that is growing rather than shrinking. Kate O’Neill inventories the different forms and surprising itineraries of waste, and explains how this challenges our understanding of global governance.

Waste is one of the planet’s last great resource frontiers. From furniture made from up-cycled wood to gold extracted from computer circuit boards, artisans and multinational corporations alike are finding ways to profit from waste while diverting materials from overcrowded landfills. Yet beyond these benefits, this “new” resource still poses serious risks to human health and the environment. Join us as we discuss Kate O’Neill's unique book "Waste," which traces the emergence of the global political economy of wastes over the past two decades. O'Neill explains how the emergence of waste governance initiatives and mechanisms can help us deal with both the risks and the opportunities associated with the hundreds of millions – possibly billions – of tons of waste we generate each year. Drawing on a range of fascinating case studies to develop her arguments, including China’s role as the primary recipient of recyclable plastics and scrap paper from the Western world, “Zero-Waste” initiatives, the emergence of transnational waste-pickers’ alliances, and alternatives for managing growing volumes of electronic and food wastes, O’Neill shows how waste can be a risk, a resource, and even a livelihood, with implications for governance at local, national, and global levels. Kate O’Neill is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California at Berkeley and holds a Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University. She is known for her work on global environmental politics and governance and the global political economy of waste. Purchase the Book

A Pennsylvania woman who gave birth to a boy she carried inside a transplanted womb says the experimental procedure delivered a “miracle.” Jennifer Gobrecht and her husband, Drew Gobrecht, appeared Thursday at a news conference in Philadelphia. Their child, Benjamin, was the first baby born as part of Penn Medicine’s 2-year-old uterine transplant trial and the eighth baby in the United States to be born to the recipient of a uterus transplant. Jennifer Gobrecht underwent a 10-hour transplant procedure in 2018. The uterus came from a deceased donor. Kate O'Neill, M.D., Director of the Uterus Transplant Program at Penn Medicine says their program is continuing to look for women to become applicants in the program, normalizing this procedure for other struggling couples.

Kate O'Neill went from studying linguistics to making websites to Silicon Valley to Netflix to starting an agency to writing books and speaking around the world. Like many of us, she's interested in meaning. How do we work out what means something to us and how do we express how we mean that something? And this is what we talk about.

UXAUS2019 Day 2 With interactive experiences increasingly becoming automated, algorithmically optimized, and driven by artificial intelligence, how do we ensure that we don't accidentally create absurd, out-of-proportion, or even harmful interactions? How can we ensure, in other words, that the experiences we create for humans are as meaningful as possible? As Kate O'Neill, author of Tech Humanist, points out, it's critically important that we do what we can to make our work matter, because our every design decision has a chance of reaching massive scale. Kate will examine how to bring meaning to even the smallest design decisions, to every interaction and every system, and ultimately, through this focus, how to bring more meaning to our work.

How do we design technology that is both smart for business and good for people? This conversation asks questions about our approach for voice and AI, oncoming voice tech issues such as deep fakes, and privacy issues such as data mining by Facebook and other tech companies. Author and keynote speaker Kate O'Neill is known around the world as The Tech Humanist. Hear her great approach to keeping technology human and what it will take for emerging technology to be successful from a business standpoint.Timestamps:03:15 How do we approach voice design from a human centric way that is also good for business?04:30 Weather skill example - take context about what someone using the skill needs, like an umbrella05:20 Business might build voice tech or other tech in order to check a box but it’s better to build for the person on the other end06:00 Don’t ask “What’s our AI strategy?” - steak back and say “What are we trying to accomplish as a business? 07:00 Who are we building for and how can we serve their needs?”06:20 Create alignment and relevance between the business and people outside it07:10 Avoid unintended consequences of technology as it becomes capable of such scale07:35 Google Translatotron and deep fakes: Translatotron translates spoken word into another language while retaining the VOICE of the original speaker. Read more: https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/translatotron.08:40 Google would now have your voice - what will they do with it? Voice synthesis and deep fakes - the terrifying possibilities (overall: cool but scary)How we should approach technology such as the Babelfish (Hitchhiker’s Guide) - simultaneous translation that does not lose integrity originating from the sound of your voice. But one step further: there is sampling of your voice that is sufficient for ML (machine learning) and AI to synthesize your voice.09:30 Companies must govern themselves (e.g. Google)09:50 Government has a responsibility to regulate privacy and data models10:40 Kate doesn’t have smart speakers in her home because we don’t have a precedent for protecting user data, she says11:20 Facebook Ten Year Challenge (Kate’s tweet went viral in January 2019 over the ten year old photo trend next to current photos of themselves) - she pointed out that this data could be training facial recognition algorithms on predicting aging13:20 We have seen memes and games that ask you to provide structured information turn out to be data mining (e.g. Cambridge Analytics) - we have good reason to be cautious14:40 "Everything we do online is a genuine representation of who we are as people, so that data really should be treated with the utmost respect and protection. Unfortunately, it isn't always." - Kate15:00 Do we need government to regulate tech?16:10 “Ask forgiveness, not permission” is clearly the case with Facebook so why are users so forgiving?20:00 What does a future social network look like where there are fewer privacy and data mining and algorithm concerns?Extra info:Deep fake (a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake") is a technique for human image synthesis based on artificial intelligence. It is used to combine and superimpose existing images and videos onto source images or videos using a machine learning technique known as generative adversarial network.Deep fakes and voice emulation: idea of voice skins and impersonation for fraud:https://qz.com/1699819/a-new-kind-of-cybercrime-uses-ai-and-your-voice-against-you/"In March, fraudsters used AI-based software to impersonate a chief executive from the German parent company of an unnamed UK-based energy firm, tricking his underling, the energy CEO, into making an allegedly urgent large monetary transfer by calling him on the phone. The CEO made the requested transfer to a Hungarian supplier and was contacted again with assurances that the transfer was being reimbursed immediately. That too seemed believable."Subscribe to this podcast and listen free anywhere: beetlemoment.com/podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sometimes I have concerns about technology and the impact it is having on society. Whether positive or negative, it has become an integral part of our lives, both professionally and personally. With the advances we've made in technology, there are still some significant questions about its impact. Will it lead us to a perfect or a dystopian future? Is it possible to merge technology and humanity in a positive, constructive way? In many ways, technology has the power to improve our current social conditions. With the right intentions, it can lead to solving critical social issues like eliminating cancer and cleaning our oceans. The possibilities are endless, and we're just beginning to understand the potential of technology in our lives.   To dive deeper into the impact of technology and artificial intelligence on society, I've brought on keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and author Kate O' Neill. Incredibly optimistic and amazingly intuitive, Kate is a thought leader who has a history of utilizing technology and business in a way that benefits humanity. Her approach and keen understanding of the landscape helped provide business owners the knowledge and permission to expand their businesses in a way that benefits the world.  To learn more about the future of technology, business, and emotional intelligence, download this episode now.

Mikah Sargent talks with professor Kate O'Neill about her new book, 'Waste' and what we can do about the ever-growing amount of trash each of us produces. They discuss what happens to much of our e-waste and how tech companies could work proactively, including the right-to-repair. One big issue is how China changed recycling world-wide, complicating the recycling industry and what happens next. Some solutions to this problem include finding alternatives to plastic and developing a global solution to our waste problem. Mikah and Kate also coin the term "Garbology."

Understanding what makes humans “human” is an essential question for any company today. Especially the ones embarking on a digital transformation -- or any tech initiative. This is the subject of Kate O'Neill’s book, Tech Humanist: How You Can Make Technology Better for Business and Better for Humans. O’Neill, an author, keynote speaker, and strategic advisor, joins the podcast to explain why we need a new type of leader: the Tech Humanist. And why human experience, perspective, and empathy are the best guides for digital innovation. Listen to this episode to learn: • What Best Buy, Starbucks, Apple, and Southwest Airlines get right about customer experience • Why the act of “creating meaning” is so important to designing digital experiences • The trade-offs between convenience and data privacy • Why we need “benevolent business,” not “benevolent robots” • Why measuring a company’s success based on profit alone is inherently one-dimensional • The flaws and risks in taking a tech-led, rather than a research-led, approach to digital transformation More information on Tech Humanist: www.koinsights.com/techhumanistbook/

Does being human-centered design correlate with ethics or is all product design strictly business-driven? In this episode of thinkPod, we are joined by Kate O’Neill (founder and CEO of KO Insights) and Jennifer Shin (data science expert, Founder at 8 Path Solutions). We dig into the news regarding Stanford’s newly-announced Institute for Human Centered Artificial Intelligence, whether ethics has a central role in product design, and the intersecting roles of consumers, government, and companies. We also touch upon aligning business objectives with human objectives, the terminology of bias, and our conflicted relationship with data security. thinkLeaders @IBMthinkLeaders Kate O’Neill @kateo Jennifer Shin @jennjshin ‏

Artificial Intelligence. Automation. Bots. Technology has disrupted nearly every aspect of our daily lives. But author Kate O’Neill asks the question, are we steering that technology to create the best future, for the most people? In her latest work “Tech Humanist: How Data and Technology Shape the Future of Meaningful Human Experiences,” Kate explores how we can create more meaningful, intentional, and integrated experiences that better align with businesses and people.

Kate O'Neill, the Futurist, Author, Keynote Speaker, Fortune 500 Advisor, and Founder of KO Insights joins the show to share her journey from being one of the first 100 employees of Netflix to writing Tech Humanist and speaking at the UN. Hear what Netflix was like in the early days, how to align your company to make lives better, whether privacy even exists anymore, and why completely unplugging isn’t necessary. Connect with Kate on Twitter at @KateO and at KOinsights.com

Kate O'Neill is the author of Tech Humanist, and in our increasingly tech-driven world, Kate is helping businesses make better human experiences at scale. In this conversation, Kate shares why she believes meaningful questions are far more important than sensible answers, discusses the importance of business purpose (and why Disney's “create magical experiences” is a clear, instructive statement of operational purpose) and reminds us all that data is not objective. We also dig into Kate's professional journey from a BA in German and Masters in linguistics to being one of the first 100 employees at Netflix (she also built the first intranet at Toshiba in San Jose, CA). The theme underlying this thought-provoking conversation around the speed and direction of technological change is entirely human, as Kate notes “human experiences and human data are really propelling innovation forward”.

Kate O’Neill, University of California, Berkeley; Bill Rudy, Brigham Young University on recycling plastics. Robert Kurson, Author, “Rocket Men: The Daring Odyssey of Apollo 8 and the Astronauts Who Made Man’s First Journey to the Moon”

Kate O’Neill of UC Berkeley unpacks the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” clean-up. Michele Pistone of Villanova Univ. describes how refugees navigate the immigration system. Paul Sherbondy of Penn State Sports Medicine discusses ACL injuries. Sam Payne of The Apple Seed tells a story. Robert Zemsky of the Univ. of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education explains why universities are adding new majors. Ted Henken of Baruch College on Cuba's new constitution.

I’d only briefly met Kate O’Neill in person once before doing this interview. We’ve “known” each other for a while now on social media channels but had never really spent a lot of time taking in real life prior to sitting down for this interview. My loss… It's easy to see why Kate, the founder of KO Insights, is such a popular speaker, author (https://www.amazon.com/Kate-ONeill/e/B00JRD9ZAC), mentor, and consultant when it comes to human centric marketing and design. It's because she’s so, well, human. She’s real. No pretences, no BS, simply real. And in this day and age that is a rare commodity. Please do me one favor before you listen to this interview. Take a good look at this pic of Kate (her guest profile pic). Trust me, it will make all the sense in the world after you listen to the entire interview. It just might bring a tear to your eye as it did mine. Special Guest: Kate O'Neill.

She is founder and CEO of KO Insights and has been profiled and quoted in CNN Money, TIME, Forbes, USA Today, Men’s Journal, the BBC, etc. Her latest book, Pixels and Place: […]

Kate O’Neill is a tech humanist, author, keynote speaker, consultant, web design veteran, former Nashville songwriter, and the author of Pixels and Place: Connecting Human Experience Across Physical and Digital Spaces.

Data is the most important part of any business's marketing efforts. Yes, you heard me correct. I said it. Data is the most important part of your marketing. Not the content. Not your social media accounts. Not your website. You need all of those channels, but they are not the most important. The data helps you track what is going on. Knowing how they are performing is the key here. That is what we talk about with our guest in today’s show. Kate O’Neill is one the smartest digital marketing minds that I know. We have worked on a couple projects together over the years. She was a key contributor to a section in my book, Chirp, Chirp. Kate was one of the most attended speakers to my Chirp, Chirp Extravaganza event. Let me give her a formal introduction to do her some justice.   Intro: Kate O'Neill has an amazing story. She tells it better in the podcast, but I’m going to highlight some of the special areas. Kate was one of the first 100 employees of Netflix. She has worked at Toshiba and various other technology startups. She travels around the globe keynoting on marketing and technology topics. She is a frequent contributor on the Twittersphere and her other social media channels. Kate has a very unique outlook on almost everything from data all the way down to life. It’s never a dull moment talking with Kate O’Neill. You are in for treat.   Heart of the Interview: Entrepreneurs, small businesses, and organizations that are not enterprises, still need to think big. There are two ways to do that. Keep one eye on the present and the other eye 10 years down the road. Get to know the customer. The more you know them, the more effective, the more successful and the more profitable you become.   Key Takeaways: No reason to pigeon hole yourself. You can always use the skills and knowledge from one area and apply to another as long as you have a willingness to start from scratch. You have to be willing to be dumb at something at first and not be daunted by the dumbness. You don’t need to have a large corporation to have a vision of an Apple or Netflix. You can still think strategically. And you should. Be nimble is a huge strategic advantage. The objective is to treat marketing as a knowledge center. Use Twitter to stay on top of the trends. Create lists in Twitter to easily follow the thought leaders. Ask yourself questions about a campaign when you set them up.   What You Can Do To Sell More: To effectively use data to better your business you must first believe that marketing is the opportunity to know your customers. All the data from the interactions doesn’t need to be scary if you approach it as things that can teach you about your customers. The more you know your customers the more you can tailor your offers and messaging that you put in front of them. And the more profitable you’ll end up being. It's a way to make the customer experience better. Make it easier for them to interact with you. And in the process you become more effective, more successful, and more profitable. Think about it as framing it around the customer and the customer experience.   Contact Info for Kate O'Neill: Website: www.KOInsights.com Twitter: @kateo LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kateoneill Facebook page: facebook.com/kateoneillpage Medium: https://medium.com/@kateo Instagram: https://instagram.com/kateoneill/ Email: kate@koinsights.com   Question for you: Do you currently use analytics with your marketing efforts?     If you like this podcast, then you will like this post: How To Set Up Goals in Google Analytics & Views For Beginners
