When we have an opportunity to understand L&D and Leadership trends from global L&D experts we should take them, right? On the eve of DevLearn, David Kelly (Chairman of the Learning Guild) gives us his perspective on the things we should be paying attention to as well as the areas we should be focusing our development on. KEY TAKEAWAYS Technology is changing the L&D landscape and we need to evolve with it, but this is something L&D has always done, the same conversations are happening the circumstances are just slightly different. L&D can sometimes be one of the first departments to be downsized if a company just looks at them as a cost centre, rather than how they should be looking at them, as a performance partner that is connected to driving the organisation forward. Mixed reality is very powerful, AR and VR can be good solutions to specific problems but their advantages and speed have slowed down, with AI taking a lot of attention away from development.  Whilst AI is impacting many areas of almost all organisations, it's important to understand where your organisation sits on takeup and where you can fit into that and act accordingly. L&D can appear to be susceptible to 'trends' but this isn't negative. Those who work in L&D are naturally curious and are looking for ways to help and support people's growth which naturally lends itself to new ideas and tools.  As the world develops and changes around us, so does how we learn, are our education and learning models keeping up pace? Leadership is something that is given by others and it isn't a set of traits but skills that can be learnt. Leadership is about what we do, rather than who we are. You can be an effective leader at any level of an organisation; it's about how you approach the job you are assigned.  A modern L&D organisation always needs to be looking to what's next, what does the L&D need to look like to support the organisation in the future.  BEST MOMENTS 'I was always very involved in my career at giving back to the industry' ‘The industry is in the exact same space it's been for 20 years' ‘I can tell you that the industry is growing rapidly…doesn't make a difference where I am working for an organisation where I am seen as a cost that needs to be mitigated' 'AI is sucking all the energy out of the room' 'Hype is nothing more than shared energy, but what is driving that energy' 'We don't want to do something because it's cool but because it can make a difference' 'My focus in leadership in the L&D space is removing the role from the equation and focusing more on the environment that learning exists' David Kelly Bio As Chairman of the Learning Guild, David Kelly constantly explores the convergence of learning and technology, demonstrating a profound commitment to transforming workplaces and enriching lives through innovative learning strategies. With over two decades of experience in learning and performance leadership and consulting, he brings his passion to life in his daily work building events and resources with the Guild and as a dynamic speaker and writer, inspiring others to view their work through a fresh, technology-enhanced lens.

That's why today, I'm speaking with Dr. Cori Lathan, a techno-optimist who believes technology can be used to build empathy and connection. Today we discuss how Star Wars and a very creative 2nd grade teacher sparked her journey into innovation and invention, how technology is being used to build empathy and connection, why empathy makes a better design team, and the future of human-machine interaction.

The media will give the negative side of AI and technology because it gets better views and clicks. But great things are happening with technology that is helping to create a beautiful future. Designing tech is about more than what happens behind the computer screen. It is about understanding the user experience and what it means for your end user.

Ian Campbell is the author of Wall Street Journal Best Seller "The Value Sale". As Chief Executive Officer of Nucleus Research he is responsible for the company's investigative research approach, product set, and overall corporate direction. He is a recognized expert on the return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis of technology and has written and presented extensively on a range of organizational topics and the importance of matching technology to business organizational objectives. In this episode, Ian shares how you can create optimal pricing by understanding how customers use your product and find value in them.   What you will learn from this episode: Learn how to quantify a product's value in measurable terms Find out the three value propositions you can derive from when helping people find and understand their product's value Discover how to restructure your conversations to help people recognize the value you offer and you get empowered to price that value   “Look at the customer value, how is the customer achieving value from your product and price according to that.”  - Ian Campbell   Topics Covered: 01:42 - How he got into pricing 02:23 - What Nucleus Research is all about 03:26 - Understanding value with how customers use the product rather than vendor claims 05:20 - Defining Value 06:48 - The challenge with quantifying ROI with non-monetary value [customers' happiness] 09:00 - Thoughts on Mark's statement about B2B being more cognizant of value they want to receive 10:05 - Translating 'happier employees' into quantifiable terms 11:19 - Selling risk and who bears the most burden in dealing with security threats 15:32 - What's it like selling for emotional reasons 19:14 - How emotional decisions relate to Danny Kahneman's decision-making theories 20:29 - Why he uses the three-year horizon [but what if a client insist on using a 5-year time frame] 24:00 - Why there are only three value propositions you can derive from 26:15 - Helping people [existing and new customers] find value in your product 28:22 - How to structure your conversation that people understands and find value in your product 29:50 - Ian's pricing advice   Key Takeaways: "Technology is around delivering value, not necessarily what's the best, but what's the best for you and understanding that." - Ian Campbell "When you talk about value, we look at value in four different categories, and there are value categories that are for instance happier employees. And that's not something I can necessarily quantify, but for a customer and for a company, that could be something very, very valuable for them and that could be their objective." - Ian Campbell "Today, more than ever, it's important to draw a link between what you sell and how you deliver bottom line benefits.

Today, I want to talk about a subject that's been buzzing in the orthodontic community - the intersection of technology, patient care, and the role of ego in our decisions.In recent times, there has been a surge of conversations revolving around integrating technology into patient care.Remote monitoring, among other innovations, has sparked debates about the frequency of in-person appointments versus leveraging technology for more efficient follow-ups.And here's where the pivotal distinction emerges: our motivations behind these choices. Unfortunately, some of these decisions are based on ego.Our focus should always be on the well-being of our patients. The shift towards embracing technology isn't about sacrificing quality care but about reimagining patient-centric practices.If technology allows us to extend intervals between appointments while still ensuring effective care, it's a win-win situation. Patients don't relish the idea of visiting the orthodontist's office frequently unless it's genuinely necessary.Tune in to this Five Minute Friday for my thoughts on this topic.Key Takeaways- Technology and patient care (00:28)- Motivations for scheduling appointments (01:05)- Genuine care vs professional ego (02:42)- Patient-centered approach (03:33)Additional Resources

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that leadership has changed. Not just because of our recent pandemic, but because of what research is telling us works, and what employees are demanding from their workplace cultures. But when we say we have to "redefine leadership", what does that actually mean? It means killing the notion of the command and control "Alpha Leader" and understanding that today's complex business challenges demand a more collaborative approach driven by empathy. My guest today is leadership expert Danielle Harlan. She shares what this new vision of leadership means to you, how you can increase your empathy and effectiveness, and also what your organization can do to foster a more empathetic and inclusive environment that translates into success. Key Takeaways:Technology has been a key piece in making things more transparent. It also gives us the ability to ask more interesting questions and better understand what people are wanting from the businesses they buy from. Apologize when you hurt someone or a group. Acknowledge it and move forward, but apologize, even when it wasn't the intent to cause harm. You can increase your empathy by engaging in media - read fiction, watch shows, listen to music - and try to understand those perspectives that differ from your own.  "Our concept of leadership is really expanding. It's more relational, more collective, and there's a strong ethical and justice-oriented component." - Danielle Harlan About Danielle Harlan, Founder & CEO, Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential:As the Founder and CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential, Danielle Harlan, Ph.D., is on a mission to transform leadership for the modern world.

There is an undeniable increase in demand for more convenient healthcare. In today's episode, we are joined by thought leader and Chief Scientist for the Health and Human-Machine Systems Group at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Michael McShea, to talk about the why and how of making healthcare more convenient and helpful for patients. Join us for Part 2 of our series on Digital Innovation in Healthcare as we discuss how technology is helping healthcare providers work better, and patients heal better.   In This Episode:   [02:10] Introducing Michael and his thoughts on how consumer demand and expectation for virtual offerings have shifted. [05:34] Value-based healthcare, how it relates to experience strategy, and the role convenience plays. [08:31] Some of the key trends Michael has his eye on. [16:36] How close are we to having our own personal healthcare digital assistants? [19:47] The convenience and efficiency of moving more care to the home environment. [25:55] Competent data collection and using data effectively. [31:05] How Covid has prompted automation in healthcare. [36:21] Key experience strategy takeaways.   Key Takeaways:   Technology is not ready to take over for your doctor, but a big trend is happening towards combining digital and human elements to make healthcare a better experience. Healthcare has historically been slow to innovate, but they've gotten a powerful nudge from the world as consumer needs and expectations shift. The increase in demand for more convenient healthcare, COVID, and a shift towards value-based care make up a trifecta driving healthcare changes right now. We are finally seeing some headway in digital-first primary care, not entirely unlike the Netflix model.   Bio: Michael McShea   Michael McShea is a Chief Scientist for the Health and Human-Machine Systems Group at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) supporting the National Health Mission Area.

On this episode, Frazier joins Sean Zalmanoff to talk about being on a mission of relevancy for the mortgage industry.

In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, host Mark Schein talks with Curtis Dukes, the former director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and the current Executive Vice President of the Center for Internet Security (CIS),  a non-profit organization that aims to make the connected world a safer place. Their conversation begins with a discussion on Curtis' background, specifically on his experience in the NSA. After spending more than three decades in service to the agency, he learned the following: Computer systems must provide their users with a pleasing experience to ensure that they won't switch to an alternative way. Technology is so ingrained into who we are as a society that we no longer notice it, even though we're online all the time. Business owners must allocate sufficient resources for the regular upkeep of their hardware and software programs, so that these won't be exploited by malicious adversaries. Curtis also talks about the CIS, giving an in-depth explanation of its goals and current efforts. In addition to providing cyber-threat intelligence and analysis to State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial government entities (SLTTs), the organization has also introduced controls and benchmarks that allow businesses to develop effective strategies against cyber-threats. He further recommends that business owners show the efforts they've put into building their defenses when trying to obtain a cyber-insurance policy. Regarding future trends, Curtis explains that the next few years will see ransomware playing an increasingly crucial role in cyberspace. To address this issue, the CIS has developed a community defense model that is based on genuine attack techniques. Published last August 2020 to much acclaim, this program will help businesses mitigate the risk of cyber-threats, enabling them to protect themselves from malicious agents. Key Takeaways: Technology has become so powerful and ubiquitous that our reliance on it has become invisible to us. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to have sufficient resources to limit their cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Business owners must thoroughly understand the impact of cyber-threats. The cyber-insurance industry still lacks standardization. Ransomware is evolving, with malicious agents often changing the way they operate. Key Quotes: “But you can quickly see that computers were going to be a disruption, not only within national security systems, which I was responsible for providing security for, but as an economic enabler for society.” – Curtis (05:07) “Technology is ingrained in the fabric of who we are, and how we communicate as a society.” – Curtis (07:14) “It went from ‘let me just lock up your data, and you need to pay the ransom, or you have to recover your data through some other means' to they started modifying their operations. Not only did they lock up your data, but they also exfiltrated the data. If you didn't pay the ransom then they threatened to expose the data, some of which could be harmful to the company or personally problematic, as well.” – Curtis (16:23) “By mapping attack techniques to mitigation, I think that's one way to raise cybersecurity across the board.” – Curtis (20:16)

UpsideHōM combines the best of senior living communities with aging in place, by recreating the experiential piece of senior living in a less stigmatized, more flexible, affordable way. Learn how this deconstructed, intergenerational model supports older adults with a wide range of services including internet, housekeeping, transportation, food delivery, wellness, and lifelong learning—customized for every stage of aging. About Jake Jake Rothstein is the CEO and Founder of UpsideHōM, whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for older adults everywhere. UpsideHōM is the first and only fully managed, shared living option for older adults, providing a turnkey, affordable and appealing alternative to traditional senior living. Jake previously co-founded Papa - a company which pairs older adults and families with “Papa Pals” for companionship and assistance with everyday tasks - based on experience with his own grandfather (who he called Papa). Witnessing the wide-spread nature of loneliness, isolation and unaffordable housing options for older adults, Jake developed the idea for UpsideHōM, which would provide a solution to more completely tackle these challenges at scale. With a background in technology sales, operations and management, Jake has experience building and running successful, international teams, selling enterprise software into the Global 2000. Jake holds a BA in Economics from the University of Florida. He is a FAA certificated Private Pilot who enjoys flying, outdoor running and spending time with his incredible wife Sharona and their Goldendoodle Louie. Key Takeaways Technology is a key component of the UpsideHōM business model, enabling efficiencies and cost savings for residents by leveraging the gig economy. Food and transportation are older adults' primary requests for services. UpsideHōM partners with Papa and local pre-prepared meal delivery services. UpsideHōM provides baseline services like wi-fi and housekeeping; the rest of the services are provided “a la carte” so residents are not paying for what they don't need. Going forward, the company will leverage aggregate data and AI to support resident wellbeing and encourage positive health outcomes.

Maria Tarasidou, Global Data Program Manager at Facebook, argues that legacy companies should follow the example of big tech to succeed with data-driven business transformation Enterprises are increasingly open to investing in new data-driven technologies that are shaping the future of business. But as Facebook Global Data Program Manager Maria Tarasidou argues in this week's Business of Data podcast, technology doesn't drive business transformation by itself. “You have to also be prepared to bring in the right people with the right mindset,” she says. “Everyone needs to understand data. Everybody needs to use it. Everybody needs to be able to go back and retrieve and extract the data they that need in the way that they need it and visualize it.” In recent years, many companies established hubs that are separate from their legacy business to kickstart the data strategies or innovation projects. While this can make sense in the short-term, Tarasidou notes that data-driven ways of working must become embedded across an entire organization before meaningful transformations can occur. “What happens in big tech companies is that there's no role that is actually a Data Analyst role,” she says. “Everyone is an analyst.” This chimes with the stories we hear from our wider data and analytics community. It's those companies that invest in data literacy and integrate data-driven ways of working into the roles of staff across the business which get the most value out of data and analytics. Maria Tarasidou, Global Data Program Manager, Facebook“If we say, ‘In 10 years do you expect for the current Data Analyst role to exist?' I would say, ‘No'” Tarasidou predicts that integrating data with business processes in this way will become so widespread within a decade that Data Analyst roles as we know them will cease to exist. “If you want to force it, you bring in the right people and the right talent and you educate the business accordingly,” she suggests. “But it's going to happen. It's where we're heading. This is the age of information.” Enterprises that want to make the most of futuristic technologies such as the ‘data mesh' must ensure their staff are committed to upskilling and changing how they work to drive successful data-driven business transformations. Key Takeaways Technology by itself is not enough. Executives that focus their investments on shiny new tools will not succeed in driving meaningful business transformations Data literacy fuels digital transformation. Enterprises should focus on empowering staff to work with data efficiently to accelerate their data-driven business transformations Data skills are the future of business. The Data Analyst role could one day be phased out as data analysis skills become an integral part of all jobs in the workforce of the future

Look for in-room wellness solutions like Hilton's Five Feet to Fitness to play a larger role with the new normal of Covid-19. Senior facilities must address additional challenges such as the hazard of falls.

Oscar Garcia is the Founder and CEO of Uulala, a blockchain-powered company that seeks to support the financial inclusion of under-banked and unbanked groups of people through a smartphone app. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Oscar wanted to become a US Olympic diver.

Oscar and Andre join us today to share the goal of Uulala and how it helps people have financial credibility despite their under-banked or unbanked status. They discuss their humble beginnings and what inspired Oscar to develop Uulala. They explain the need for this type of technology and describe how it works, citing real-world examples. Oscar also shares his wisdom when it comes to starting, running, and scaling a business. “You will get more referrals from people who like you than from those you treated as another number.”  - Oscar Garcia Today on Spot On Insurance: What inspired Oscar to start Uulala How his swimming career came to an abrupt end.

Key Takeaways: Technology is not a strategy. First, ask what problem you want to solve and what goals you want to achieve – and what experiences you’re trying to create. Then, leverage the right pieces of tech to make it happen, not the other way around. Think like this: Goal > strategy > tactics. So why are we so often starting with technology and working backward? No one needs an “AI strategy.” Think about the “why” behind it – what problem are you trying to solve? AI isn’t your strategy; neither is tech. Your strategy is your strategy. Tech and innovative applications of AI can be part of it, but it’s not in and of itself your strategy. Full Shownotes: https://www.emarsys.com/en/resources/podcasts/automation-matt-heinz
