Daniele Panfilo è dottore in Intelligenza Artificiale e CEO di Aindo. Classe 1988 e laureato alla Sapienza Università di Roma in Industrial and Management Engineering, Panfilo ha conseguito due master - il primo presso la Sapienza in Optimization and Modelling e il secondo in ricerca operativa presso il dipartimento di Knowledge Engineering and Data Science delll'Università di Maastricht - e un dottorato all'Università degli Studi di Trieste in Artificial Intelligence specializzandosi in modelli di machine learning generativi. Ha lavorato come specialista di intelligenza artificiale nel settore sanitario e assicurativo in Italia e all'estero per realtà come Medtronic e Allianz Technology. Nel 2018 - insieme a Sebastiano Saccani - ha fondato Aindo, scaleup della Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) di Trieste che ha come mission quella di aiutare il mondo a sfruttare tutte le potenzialità dell'Intelligenza Artificiale attraverso una piattaforma di DataOps e strumenti per la cura dei dati basata sulla generazione di dati sintetici. In qualità di CEO e cofondatore di Aindo, Daniele combina la sua conoscenza dell'intelligenza artificiale ad un approccio coinvolgente al business, occupandosi principalmente di strategia, sviluppo business, R&D, e product design. Inoltre, continua a dedicarsi all'ambito accademico e scientifico: nel 2022 ha collaborato al paper sulla sintesi dei dati relazionali "Generating Realistic Synthetic Relational Data through Graph Variational Autoencoders" che è stato presentato nell'ambito di NeurIPS (Neural Information Processing Systems), la più prestigiosa conferenza globale sull'intelligenza artificiale. Nel 2023 Aindo è tornata a NeurIPS con il paper "Privacy Measurement in Tabular Synthetic Data: State of the Art and Future Research Directions". Nel 2023 Daniele Panfilo è stato premiato dal programma internazionale Nova 111 tra gli under 35 che cambieranno il futuro in campo Software, Cloud & IT: la lista, stilata dal network mondiale Nova Talent, riunisce i migliori 111 professionisti italiani che, in 11 settori chiave dell'economia, hanno ottenuto risultati eccezionali e il cui impatto ha trainato l'innovazione. Il lavoro di Daniele Panfilo si basa sulla convinzione che l'Intelligenza Artificiale possa migliorare molti aspetti della vita e per questo, con Aindo, intende contribuire mettendo a disposizione della ricerca e dell'innovazione il patrimonio informativo contenuto nei dati, in maniera sicura libera ed efficiente.Siti, app libri e link utiliSito di Aindo Blog di Aindo Sapienza Università di Roma in Industrial and Management EngineeringKnowledge Engineering and Data Science delll'Università di Maastricht Università degli Studi di Trieste in Artificial IntelligenceSISSA di Trieste, Scuola internazionale di studi avanzati di TriesteCourseraI libri da scegliereLa formazione in dati sintetici per settore sanitarioTra le figure più gettonate che seguono questa formazione c'è il Machine Learning Developer specializzato nello sviluppo di modelli di AI finalizzati alla generazione di dati sintetici, che sono dati artificiali che replicano le caratteristiche dei dati reali, senza contenere informazioni sensibili o personali. Questi dati vengono utilizzati per allenare modelli di intelligenza artificiale, testare algoritmi, sviluppare applicazioni, garantendo al contempo la conformità alle normative sulla privacy (es. GDPR). L'intelligenza artificiale (IA) sta rivoluzionando tutti gli aspetti della nostra vita. Purtroppo, però, oltre l'85% dei progetti di IA non arriva mai alla fase di produzione. Questo avviene perché i progetti di IA, per poter essere avviati, hanno bisogno di grandi quantità di dati. Le organizzazioni devono avere accesso a tali dati e assicurarsi che siano completi e sicuri. Si tratta di un processo costoso in termini di denaro e di tempo. La tecnologia dei dati sintetici si sta imponendo come elemento chiave per implementare con successo progetti di intelligenza artificiale e data analytics. I dati sintetici non sono raccolti attraverso tradizionali metodi empirici ma vengono generati algoritmicamente. In quanto tali, non possono essere collegati ad alcuna persona del mondo reale; inoltre, grazie a determinate tecniche di IA, i dati sintetici possono comportarsi come quelli reali. Di conseguenza, il vantaggio principale di questa tecnologia consiste nel coniugare privacy e innovazione. I dati sintetici altamente realistici vengono costruiti attraverso tecniche di intelligenza artificiale generativa. In particolare, i metodi di IA generativa hanno il compito di dedurre i pattern statistici di un dataset reale per poi replicarli in un dataset sintetico. Se l'inferenza dell'IA avviene con successo, i nuovi campioni di dati avranno lo stesso comportamento dei dati reali. I dati sintetici consentono dunque alle organizzazioni di valorizzare i propri dati. In particolare, consentono di scambiare e analizzare i dati in modo sicuro e libero, e di sopperire alle carenze di dati fornendo dati completi e rappresentativi. In ambito sanitario, ad esempio, un ospedale potrebbe voler condividere i dati dei pazienti per sviluppare strumenti volti a migliorare la diagnostica e la cura di numerose patologie. Tuttavia, le cartelle cliniche elettroniche dei pazienti sono altamente riservate e in genere non possono essere scambiate o aggregate facilmente, neppure per ragioni di ricerca e sviluppo o per collaborazioni tra enti pubblici. In questi casi, la piattaforma sviluppata da Aindo converte le informazioni e genera un database di record sintetici utilizzabili per fini di ricerca e sviluppo, garantendo al tempo stesso i più elevati standard in termini di privacy.

Europe. Giorgia shares her fascinating insights on leadership in times of uncertainty, the importance of adaptability, and fostering a culture of trust and inclusivity. With her extensive experience leading global teams, Giorgia offers valuable advice for current and aspiring leaders looking to navigate the challenges of the modern business landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective leadership in times of uncertainty requires anticipating change, reading market signals, and being mentally prepared for surprises while maintaining a clear vision and purpose. Fostering a culture of trust, empathy, and authenticity is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent in today's competitive market. Consistently achieving small goals and celebrating successes helps build resilience and momentum towards a long-term vision. Embracing diversity of thought and actively listening to different perspectives leads to better decision-making and understanding in multicultural teams. Encouraging people to step out of their comfort zone and supporting them through challenges can lead to extraordinary growth and performance. Senior leaders must challenge their unconscious biases and promote this practice throughout their organisation to create a fair and respectful work environment. The energy transition and digital transformation are reshaping the job market, requiring leaders to embrace new skills and adapt their business models accordingly. Empowering and trusting teams, even when facing uncertainty, can lead to outstanding results and a willingness to go the extra mile. BEST MOMENTS "Being a senior leader in a global or in a big organisation requires the ability to anticipate, the ability to read the signals of the market from multiple angles and multiple dimensions." "If you force yourself, and then after a while, it becomes like an addiction, I'm really curious. And so I ask myself a lot of questions, and then I read, but also I ask opinion to people, and I really listen." "People, any people, including already CEOs, they need to think about themselves and their organisation as in transition, and now more than ever." "When I'm able to trigger in people an extra, the willingness to go the extra mile, the willingness to really apply themselves to a level that they don't even know themselves they are capable of, and when I'm able to do that, I'm super proud." "All of us have unconscious bias. [...] Senior leaders again have an important role to equip leaders, middle management, to make sure that they protect themselves from unconscious bias because it can really [hurt] people." ABOUT THE GUEST Giorgia Arnaboldi is Vice President of Shell Energy Europe, the division within Shell Group that is focused on developing and growing fully integrated lower carbon energy offerings to help customers and Shell to decarbonise and meet their net-zero emissions targets. Before, she has been CEO of Shell Energy Deutschland, based in Hamburg, where she successfully led the end to end in country activities and spearheaded the development of a renewed Northwest Europe strategy and transformation program. Being in Shell since 2001, she has covered several commercial, marketing & strategy, business development roles in Shell Lubricants, Commercial Fuels and Shell Energy Trading.

Born and raised in the South of Italy, long before Milan was officially named a fashion capital, Giada had very little means of breaking into the fashion industry. Despite getting her master's in Management Engineering at Università Della Calabria, Giada knew that she wanted to pursue a career in fashion, and with two parents as entrepreneurs, creating a business of her own was in her blood. Soon after graduating, she picked up her things and went to Milan and scored her first internship working in E-commerce at Yoox Net-A-Porter and Kering. A couple of months later, she left the corporate world to pursue her business, Glam Observer, full time. Today, Glam Observer has transformed into a fashion career advice platform, podcast, and online educational program with courses and events aimed at inspiring and supporting fashion enthusiasts who want to turn their dream of working in the fashion industry into a successful reality. Giada has become a mentor, author, leader in her space, and let's not forget her recognition under Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the education category for her work in teaching individuals about getting a job in a fashion which has helped many score jobs at companies such as Dior, Valentino, Prada, and more. In this episode of the podcast, Giada talks about the inspiration behind starting Glam Observer, her advice on starting your own business, and the importance of the right and the left brain in fashion.

In early spring 2020, COVID-19 cases were rapidly increasing across the US which resulted in shortages of beds, staff and equipment. Personal protective equipment, or PPE, are required for both staff and patient safety and if these were unavailable, there would be critical limitations to the level of care Mayo Clinic needs to provide for patients in need not only from COVID but other diseases as well. While Mayo Clinic wasn't expecting immediate shortages, a project was initiated to proactively implement mitigation plans in case of an actual surge. Management Engineering and Consulting was brought in to help identify an optimal plan for reprocessing PPE as well as implementing to solution in preparation for potential shortages. In today's episode, Senior Health System Engineer Tae Huh and host Tony Chihak discuss how ME&C was able to move with agility and creativity while being under a tight deadline to provide a sustainable solution for reprocessing PPE.

*This podcast was recorded before Management Engineering and Consulting and Planning Services integrated into the new Mayo Clinic Strategy Department.   As the COVID-19 Pandemic entered the U.S. and the nation's fears began to surge, Mayo Clinic nurses were asked by the Hospital Incident Command Center to stand up a nurse line specifically for COVID. The COVID Nurse Line went live on March 11th, 2020 with a unit of about 40 nurses but quickly expanded to about 100.The initial intent of the COVID Nurse Line was to screen callers across the Mayo Clinic enterprise, including the Midwest, Arizona and Florida to determine if the caller met the criteria to be tested for COVID-19. If they were to screen positive for testing, the staff on the COVID Nurse Line would then place the order request and provide patient education related to quarantine and exposure recommendations, symptom management and urgent symptom assessment with appropriate recommendations for care. It quickly morphed into a help line for anyone across the United States with questions regarding COVID-19 testing, care, travel, vaccinations, etc. Management Engineering and Consulting was requested in January 2021 to help evaluate the processes and workflows developed to help assist with increasing demand. Listen as Allyssa Stevens, Health Systems Engineer Associate, Jean Johnston, Nurse Manager, Tina Oian, Lead Charge Nurse for the COVID Nurse Line and host Tony Chihak as they discuss the trials and success of lifting a designated nurse line off the ground to provide excellent care and support to patients across the enterprise.

Jonna Gerken earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial and Management Engineering and an MBA in Technology Development from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and currently works at Pratt & Whitney managing manufacturing engineers. She indicates that in the aviation environment they have to design and manufacture engine parts that can be built at high volumes greater than 100,000 and for 40+ years. There is a strong push to 3-D printing, but not all parts lend themselves to that technology. For manufacturing engineers many have come in through mechanical and aerospace engineering as well as industrial engineering – the key is problem solving. She is fired up about all the new technology in the manufacturing area and making parts out of materials that did not exist until recently. There is also a myth out there that all engineers are really good at math and science. There are many engineers that were challenged by math and science but worked hard at it an therefore became successful – the key is to work hard and have the proper mindset. One of Jonna’s habits that helps her be successful is to be organized. Jonna’s favorite phone apps is Venmo – payment app and her recommend book is “How we get to Now” by Steven Johnson.
