Happy Monday! Sam and Emma host Rosie Collington, Ph.D candidate at University College London, to discuss her recent book The Big Con: How The Consulting Industry Weakens Our Businesses, Infantilizes Our Governments, And Warps Our Economies, co-authored with Mariana Mazzucato. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the debt ceiling fight, Biden's plummeting polling (and why he still fares better than the GOP's candidates), Minnesota's gig work bill, Manchin sinking Julie Su's candidacy, the NAACP travel advisory for Florida, the devastating death of an 8-year-old in border custody, and failing US intelligence at home and abroad, before diving into the Democratic party's (and particularly their leadership's) insistence on never having any real power. Rosie Collington then joins as she parses through the massive state of the management consulting industry in the US, with agencies like McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain, working for both the regulatory (political) and industrial sides, and conning the public into believing they actually have a massive impact on the economy. She walks Sam and Emma through the evolution of the consulting-industrial complex, with the introduction of the Reaganomics of the 1980s in both reducing spending on welfare and shifting the distribution of it onto private industry, and the neoliberal establishment cementing this shift over the next couple of decades, with private companies slowly taking over not just the implementation, but the development of public policy in the US. After parsing through the rollout of the ACA under Obama, as well as stories like the East Palestine derailment and McKinsey's role in the opioid crisis, as key examples of the failure of consulting's control over the government, from the conflicts-of-interest in creates to the obscuration of responsibility for our democratic officials, Collington wraps up by tackling the role of elite institutions in laundering the reputation of consulting industries, and explores what actions the US government can take to protect democracy. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive into AI's role in the WGA and SAF strikes, with some help from Tesla stans, Moms for Liberty exemplifies the GOP's exterminationist rhetoric, and Hitchen's Ghost dives into his personal experiences with Killology experts. Ash from Southern Illinois reflects on the criminalization of a teacher's trans acceptance, Dez from NJ discusses unionizing his workplace, and Emma reflects on mistakes made in reporting on a recent “Karen” story. DeSantis continues to flounder socially, and Tim Pool acts in his role as the final body in the reactionary right's human centipede of (dis)information, plus, your calls and IMs!

Matt began as a top consultant at McKinsey, where he witnessed the power of customer loyalty programs and immediately understood why large companies pay millions of dollars to create them. His vision for Fivestars was to make the power of a Fortune 500 customer loyalty program accessible to local businesses.

Show Notes: On May 12, 2023, Chad Oakley, CEO of Charles Aris, a top retained search firm in the US for placing former and current management consultants, spoke to members of Umbrex about the current state of the job market for consultants. Chad gave an introduction to Charles Aris and spoke about their strategy practice. He encouraged attendees to ask questions to make the conversation interactive. The conversation focused on the job market for consultants, including the current state of the market, the opportunities available, and the strategies consultants should use to navigate the market. Chad offered his perspective on the job market and provided insights for consultants looking for positions. Charles Aris, Executive Search Firm Charles Aris is a classic executive search firm that has been in business for 54 years and has 90 team members located across 15 states. They specialize in bespoke searches and their five main areas of focus are strategy, corporate development, finance and accounting, engineering, operations and supply chain, and sales and marketing. Their client base is split between private equity firms and non-private equity organizations. They also produce monthly newsletters about their searches and offer reports and compensation studies. Charles Aris has the largest strategy recruiting practice in the United States and their practice is headed by a former consultant from Deloitte Consulting and Wharton MBA. They specialize in placing current and former strategy consultants from firms such as Bain, BCG and McKinsey in various positions from pre-MBA level to partner level. Increased Demand for Management Consultants Since May 2022, the United States experienced unprecedented economic growth during the past year and unprecedented numbers of employees leaving current positions which led to a shortage of staff in many firms. As a recruiting firm, Charles Aris was overwhelmed with search requests and had to implement a 40-day delay on all new searches for the first time in its 54-year history. A pullback started in December, and interest rates were raised to tame inflation, even if that meant driving the economy into a recession. We are now in the middle of a transition from a 100% candidate-driven market to a 75% company-driven market. Despite this, mixed messages are coming from the market causing confusion; major corporations such as Amazon are announcing sizable layoffs, while the monthly labor reports are robust and unemployment rates have fallen. Chad explains what is behind the conflicting reports between the numbers. He goes on to explain how this has impacted the consulting sector, how numbers of hires have fallen dramatically compared to the previous year. He mentions how major consulting firms are rolling out their playbook, how they are managing people out, and promotions are slowing, taking on fewer hires, and he identifies a common lie amongst top-tier consulting firms when it comes to promotion, and what many firms are offering in terms of “transition payments” to accommodate moving people out of the firm. Areas of Demand for Management Consultants However, he also talks about what firms are looking for in terms of remote or on-location hires. He talks about the areas of consulting where there is an increase in demand for transformation skill sets. He explains that companies want to reduce their cost structure and are in need of transformation and cost containment experts. Companies have built up investments during the hay days and now need help unwinding them. Companies need assistance in cost containment as they look to their future and realize they likely won't hit their revenue targets. These transformation and cost containment services can help them reduce their cost structure, allowing them to be successful in the coming years. Private equity firms are facing a challenging time right now, as the cost of capital has increased and deal flow has slowed. To make up for this, private equity firms are investing in their existing portfolio companies to make sure they reach their full potential. There is a spike in demand for individuals who specialize in areas such as transformation and cost cutting, finance and accounting, talent professionals, and operations and supply chain. CFOs are the hardest positions for companies to fill due to a demand and supply imbalance. He recommends that independent consultants should specialize in a few areas to ensure they are able to take advantage of the current market demand with Finance as the highest area of demand. The Demand for Specialists over Generalists In the current economic downturn, companies are less likely to take risks on hiring generalists and more likely to hire specialists for projects. Companies want to make sure that their money is being spent in a way that will yield a strong return. Therefore, it is important for people to identify their true specialties and market themselves aggressively as a specialist in those areas. This can be difficult, as it is tempting to present oneself as a generalist in order to secure more work. However, companies in an economic downturn are more likely to look for specialists they can trust to get the job done. Chad offers key tips on how to market oneself in the current down market. Chad shares that demand is steady across all industries, with insurance companies being particularly consistent in their hiring practices; general financial services, life sciences, and healthcare also show steady demand. Consumer-facing and retail jobs, however, have seen less demand. To illustrate the extent of the downturn, he states that in the first four months of this year, they have enacted 30% fewer searches and that one should prepare for the ongoing downturn by cranking up their marketing efforts and skills. Finally, he also discusses some of the challenges consultants may face, such as the importance of having a strong online presence and demonstrating value to potential clients. The International and Future Market for Consulting Services Charles Aris represents the U.S. but has 50 partners in other countries. He shares feedback from their annual meeting in Columbia this year that a recession in the U.S. affects the rest of the international community and that a recession is inevitable. To ride the wave, Chad recommends taking proactive steps to deal with an economic downturn. He shares how they have seen a reduction in compensation rises without a decrease in current compensation. He shares how major consulting firms such as McKinsey are managing to maintain their current fees with their clients. In terms of the Data Science market, this is a no-lose career choice moving forward, but in the ESG sustainable market, a lot of companies consider this a luxury and it's not at the core of their business, Chad forecasts that companies will downplay the focus in this area. He confirms that corporations will reach out to independent consulting firms especially when they are experts in the fields of Finance, AI, Data Science, and Big Data, in addition to healthcare companies and hospital systems that may need to hire a boutique firm. How Independent Consultants Get Noticed by Recruiting Firms Chad explains that, despite how extremely talented and experienced his clients may be, they can't always place top talent with a company. The candidate's skills must be specific in alignment with the company's demands. When reaching out to an executive search firm, focus on the information on the resume because the resume will be uploaded to the internal database which will be matched with queries. Also, Identify what you are looking for in the initial email, but Chad also recommends that applicants should continue to network. When asked about working for private equity firm's portfolio companies, Chad explains that it's advisable to approach the professionals in the private equity firm to gain a better understanding on what the firm wants to accomplish and who to contact. He offers advice on email subject headings, the type of quantifiable information that will get you noticed, and when to follow up. He also explains how consultants who have “been on the beach” for an extended “vacation” should approach firms.

International Nurses Day is an important opportunity to check the pulse of nurses around the world, especially in 2023. Nurses have given their all in the response to pandemics, natural disasters, in war zones, global vaccination efforts, and in completely redesigning how and where care is delivered. The value of nurses has never been more clear. Nor could it be any clearer that not enough is being done to protect nurses and other health workers, as demonstrated by the alarming rise of verbal and physical abuse against health care workers, with nursing often the primary target. COVID-19 has altered many nurses' career plans – over the past few years, McKinsey & Company has found that worldwide, nurses consistently, and increasingly, report planning to leave the workforce at higher rates compared with the past decade. Those departures have profound implications for the health of citizens and systems everywhere. Indeed, the greatest threat to global health is the workforce shortage. As part of our Meeting of Minds series, we listen in as four McKinsey partners from their Healthcare Systems & Services practice discuss the results of a McKinsey & Company survey of frontline nurses across six countries including Brazil, France, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In this conversation we hear Gretchen Berlin, RN, Thomas London, MBA, Robin Roark, MD, MBA, and Senthu Arumugam, MBA explore the survey's findings of why nurses are considering leaving their roles, what energizes them to keep going, and how nurses around the world are eager to innovate and deliver care in different and better ways to solve what has become a consequential global problem.

I found this article from Heidi K. Gardner, Ph.D., who has discovered through more than a decade of teaching and research at Harvard's business and law schools that people who figured out how to collaborate across teams gained a major competitive edge over those who did not. Dr. Gardner also discovered just how rare collaboration skills are. A 2021 McKinsey study found that collaboration skills are surprisingly rare, especially among men. The study found that women leaders, compared with men at the same level, were about twice as likely to spend substantial time on collaborative efforts that fell outside their formal job. What exactly is collaboration? The act of bringing people together to solve problems. In my practice, my clients are stressing the importance of cross-functional collaboration – being able to work with people from accounting, HR, marketing, sales, operations – to address complex, nuanced challenges and develop creative solutions. Why are collaboration skills so important in today's work force? Research shows that collaborators: -Deliver higher quality results-Get promoted faster-Are more noticed by senior management-Have more satisfied clients What are the aspects of being an exceptional collaborator? 1. Be an inclusive leader. Whether you are in a leadership position or not, do what you can to bring diverse people together – and be sure to be inclusive in your diversity. What does that mean? Different knowledge domains, different backgrounds, different ages and life experiences, different educational backgrounds, different cultures, different personality types, different strengths. 2. Show appreciation and acknowledgment. A study by Harvard Business School professor Boris Groysberg found that workers, especially men, often take their professional networks for granted. Acknowledge those who have helped you get where you are and show appreciation for those you've collaborated with. Give credit where credit is due – and never, ever throw anyone under the bus for underperforming. 3. Ask for help. Whatever your role is in an organization, it is likely that reaching out across the organization for different insights and perspectives will make your final product better. Collaboration doesn't have to be a large group – you could collaborate with one person from another department to greatly improve your report, project, or whatever you are working on. 1:1 collaboration can also be a great way to form strong business relationships with people you might not otherwise get to know in any depth. Remember to credit those who helped you. 4. Crowdsource. Give people a way to contribute – and learn along the way – without having to be a part of every team. Utilize Slack or other messaging tools to spur virtual collaborations, knowledge sharing, and knowledge distribution. 5. Share data streams. Scorecards and dashboards are powerful tools that allow you to measure progress against the goals you've set, create a sense of positive peer pressure as outcomes can be compared, and make critical information accessible. This is never done in a punitive manner; having said that, data is data. Of course, some data should not be shared, so make what can be accessible, accessible.

Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in every developed country, but only one in ten US patients with severe heart ailments received treatment in 2022. Egnite, a healthcare start-up, has ambitious plans to dramatically improve treatment of heart disease by harnessing the power of AI and big data to identify patients who fell through the cracks after being diagnosed. Egnite was spun out from Edwards Lifesciences, a California-based medical technology company, in early 2021. Egnite's digital platform, CardioCare, steadily gained acceptance among clinicians, physicians, and hospitals, as the industry rapidly adopted new technology during the pandemic. Don Bobo, corporate vice president at Edwards, and Joel Portice, president and CEO of egnite, sat down with McKinsey's Andrew Roth to discuss the CardioCare platform, the relationship between egnite and Edwards, and the lifesaving capabilities of AI and big data.See www.mckinsey.com/privacy-policy for privacy information
Case Interview Preparation & Management Consulting | Strategy | Critical Thinking
For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we discuss why candidates fail profit cases. Most candidates would tackle a McKinsey profitability case by presenting a revenue-cost framework and offer options to lower costs and increase revenue. The reality is that such a framework and explanation shows a deep misunderstanding of business and business strategy. In this podcast, we present the correct way to understand profitability cases which require candidates to understand the growth and cost of growth needs of shareholders. This logic never fails to impress interviewers. Enjoying our podcast? Get access to sample advanced training episodes here: www.firmsconsulting.com/promo

At the core of middle-out economics is the idea that the more people we include in the economy, the faster and more prosperous it grows. And this inclusionary principle isn't something we just made up—there's actual data to support it. Our conversation with JP Julien from McKinsey and Company outlines what inclusion can mean in the context of an economy that works for everyone. This episode originally aired on July 6, 2021. JP Julien is a Partner at McKinsey & Company, where he serves US federal, state, and city governments on inclusive economic-development topics and supports private-, public-, and social-sector organizations in advancing racial equity. He is a leader of the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility, a global economic think tank focused on inclusive economic development and racial equity topics.

I talk with three-time Pulitzer Prize winning NYTimes investigative reporter WALT BOGDANICH about his book, WHEN McKINSEY COMES TO TOWN. The company brands itself one of the good guys, but Bogdanich and co-author MIchael Forsythe point out that, shielded by NDAs, McKinsey has so far escaped scrutiny for advising tobacco companies, opioid manufacturers including Purdue, oil companies, and repressive governments. We pull back the curtain on its pursuit of the bottom line above all that has made this country less equal, less just, less healthy, less safe, and less democratic.
Bharat Krishna is the Managing Director at The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program), an organization that helps higher ed, research, and government partners foster integrity and professional advancement of their learners. He joins host Mike Palmer in a conversation about recent trends in research, tech ethics, generative AI, and more. We begin by hearing Bharat's origin story, including stints at McKinsey and Kaplan where he and Mike got to know each other. He then describes the role CITI Program plays in helping educate folks on how best to do research and how to train folks on best practices once they're established. We hear how this has played out at CITI since Bharat has been there: first in response to Covid and now more recently with a new wave of generative AI that is presenting challenging business cases where ethics and innovation intersect. How do we build guardrails in a rapidly changing technology landscape? And what can we learn from the intelligence of animals or speculative fiction about the future of AI? Listen in to find out.

*** This will be an interactive workshop that is two hours, not the customary 90 minutes. See the description below for more details. To Mayuka Yamazaki, a high-level business executive who sits on the boards of three Japanese public companies, ikebana -- the ancient Japanese art of floral creations -- is not just about arranging flowers. It is about attuning to the wisdom and beauty of nature to become more whole. A master of the art form, she launched an initiative in 2017 called IKERU to bring the wisdom of ikebana into business and leadership development. Previously, Mayuka was Assistant Director of Harvard Business School Japan Research Center, where she co-authored over 30 HBS cases related to Japan, and also worked as a management consultant at McKinsey. Mayuka was an Awakin Call guest in January, 2023.** We are delighted to share that this Spring she will be offering a special Wildflower Ikebana workshop to the Awakin Calls community! The two-hour workshop will include a presentation on what ikebana is, as well as a brief demonstration by Mayuka. Participants will then be invited to take a 15-minute walk outside, attuning to Nature in whatever forms it is present in their environment, and discerning to the best of their abilities which flowers, twigs, branches or leaves would like to be brought back home to "play." If you live in an area where it would be hard to do this real-time, you are welcome to do your Nature walk earlier and have your selections already on hand. Participants will then create their own Ikebana-inspired arrangement, keeping some of the core principles in mind. There will also be opportunity to share the creations with workshop participants, as well as reflections and learnings from the experience with the circle. Says Mayuka: "I love the concept of letting flowers lead. In order for us to let flowers lead, we have to calm ourselves and empty our mind. Otherwise, we cannot hear, listen to the voice of the flowers. And if you can listen to the voice of flowers, you just know where you should put your flowers. You just know it. Your body spontaneously starts moving. It's beyond our head, and I really love that... It's not like you have to empty your mind and then you can listen to the flowers. If you try to listen to the voice of flowers, you naturally start emptying your mind. For me, ikebana is a practice of the mind." Please join us in learning from and practicing with this gentle artist and changemaker! **Note: Prior to the workshop, you may be interested in viewing or reviewing the transcript of Mayuka's Awakin Call earlier this year. Please also note that the workshop will be two hours, rather than the customary 90 minutes.
We discuss what we did at KubeCon, the recent VMware State of Kubernetes 2023 survey, and the smells of platform engineering maturity. Also, some tips on daily logging and to do list management. Here is the original video recording if you're into that kind of thing. As ever, with your three friends: @egrigson, @benbravo73, & @cote. Links and Notes The 2023 State of Kubernetes Survey is fully out. The new component is looking at the benefits of Kubernetes. Distro/service marketshare - VMware is steadily climbing up, yay! Coté's multi-cloud usage take. Including a great chart from IDC on where workloads are living. More: we need to start thinking of "multi-cloud" as just meaning "all the computers and stuff we run." Putting the word "cloud" in there makes it seem like magic cloud stuff, when all we are/should be talking about is the entire, heterogeneous IT estate. Something like 60% of people say it makes developer more productive, even more say there are operational benefits (64%). The developer productive part is confusing given the middling "shorten developer release cycle" figures over the years. But, whatever! 10% drop in developers owning and managing Kubernetes. Related, from McKinsey engineers: "As a rule of thumb, if developers spend more than, say, 10 to 20 percent of their coding time on container configuration, failover, security, or other infrastructure issues, it makes more sense to tackle these issues via CSP services instead, so that valuable time and skills can be reserved for functionality that serves the business." An idea for how many apps are running in Kubernetes, finally! While writing blog posts for the survey, I found this: Gartner estimates that "by 2027, 25% of all enterprise applications will run in containers, an increase from fewer than 10% in 2021." We're somewhere in between there in 2021, likely closer to 10% than 25%. KubeCon EU 2023 What's Ed's take - Edward Grigson actually did some work (unlike social loafers, like Coté)!

In the last episode, we talked about a trend that is still prominent in this year and is growing, which is employee well-being! If you haven't heard that one, I would recommend that one. In this episode, we are going to take another approach and that is about productivity. Specifically, about email management. Before you scoff and change and you turn this off - just hear me out. I was reading a quick blog on the Mckinsey and Company page and there was a quick article that talked about - Taking control of your inbox—and your productivity. Now, in a world where time is of the essence, emails are the primary way of passing on information—possibly to excess. In reality, most executives report that they are regularly dragged down by conversations that are unnecessary and bring about information overload, draining their energy. #emailmanagement #timemanagement #distraction #limitdistractions Social Interaction Platforms: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating Tiktok: @timstatingtheobvious Twitter: @TimStating
What does purposeful growth look like in the retail sector? In this episode, McKinsey's Brian Gregg speaks with two former senior executives at Nike, Christiana Shi and Stuart Hogue, about the strategies that enabled them to lead productive teams in the retail sector. The conversation touches on the importance of nurturing talent, building diverse teams, and identifying opportunities for individual and organizational growth. We are sharing today's episode as part of an ongoing collaboration with our Growth, Marketing, and Sales Practice on the topic of growth strategy. It is also the second episode of the Practice's new podcast called C-Suite Growth Talks, which will feature conversations with leading executives about how they are successfully choosing growth, by aligning around a shared mindset, strategy, and capabilities.

Sometimes we find ourselves on the receiving end of change, but how to manage the change we do not control? And how do we deal with the emotions that come with all of this change? SHOW NOTES It is helpful to know ourselves - always, but particularly with change. In 1962, E.M. Rogers created the Diffusion of Innovation Theory - how change happens. Innovators are the creators of change. Early adopters are people in leadership who embrace change. Early majority are those of us who are not in leadership, but are more willing than most to adopt a change. Late majority are the folks who are reluctant to change, but will do it once most others have. Laggards, are those who are reluctant to change - and just really do not like it. Knowing who we are on this scale gives us a starting point to address the impacts of change. When change happens, there can be things that frustrate us, worry us and create problems for us. Change can create just about any negative emotion or experience. McKinsey created the 7 S's, which is really an organizational tool, but serves as an excellent evaluation tool: 1 - is your problem or concern one of strategy - does the change impact the organization's plan for building and maintaining a competitive advantage over competitors? 2 - is your problem or concern one of structure - does the change impact how workers are organized and who reports to who? 3 - is your problem or concern with systems - does the change impact how work is performed? 4 - is your problem or concern with values - does the change impact the core values or work ethic of the organization? 5 - is your problem or concern one of style - does the change impact leadership style? 6 - is your problem or concern one of staffing - does the change impact the ability of the humans to do their work? 7 - is your problem or concern one of skills - does the change impact the skills and competencies of the organization's workers? Analyzing your concern or problem through this lens provides a framework to better manage our responses. Once we understand our problem or concern, there are strategies to manage those reactions: Acknowledge the change. When change is happening in the workplace, acknowledge it and our responses in a non-judgmental way. Excavate your fears and concerns. Writing down these fears and considering what you will do about each can diffuse our reactions. Be flexible. Be part of the change. Any time we can be involved, we have an opportunity to shape change. Communicate. It is important to articulate problems and concerns to leadership. Reduce Stress and anxiety. Of course! Have a sense of meaning. Understanding the value of our work can help us navigate change GOOD READS: (40) 10 Tips for Dealing with Change Positively in Your workplace | LinkedIn McKinsey 7-S Framework - Making Every Part of Your Organization Work in Harmony Diffusion of Innovation Theory

SPECIAL GUEST: DINESH D'SOUZA In this episode, I'm sounding the alarm on the influx of migrants expected to pour across the Texas-US border in the coming days as Title 42 expires. Plus, the NY Times believes it found the 'smoking gun' text message from Tucker Carlson that supposedly got him fired. The text shouldn't have surprised Tucker. Might the bigger issue for Fox News have been fear of regulation from Democrats? And, the Federal Reserve raised rates to the highest level in 16 years but, it's still not enough to fix inflation. Joining me today is conservative thought leader, Dinesh D'Souza. Dinesh, a filmmaker and media commentator, is the host of the Dinesh D'Souza podcast. In today's discussion, we look at why gender dysphoria has become the topic du jour for both sides of the aisle. According to Dinesh, it may mark a dangerous turning point for Western civilization.

Unsere beiden heutigen Gäste sind Geschäftsführer der Krefelder Fressnapf-Gruppe. Unter dem Motto “Happier Pets. Happier People” arbeiten die beiden zusammen mit mehr als 16.000 Menschen aus über 50 Ländern in über 1.800 Märkten in 13 Ländern dafür, das Zusammenleben zwischen Mensch und Tier einfacher, besser und glücklicher zu machen. Unser erster Gast hat nach seinem Studium der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften in Dortmund, das er als Diplom-Kaufmann abgeschlossen hat, 15 Jahre in der Telekommunikationsbranche gearbeitet, zuletzt als Vice President Controlling und Procurement bei der Versatel AG. Seit mehr als 8 Jahren ist er bei Fressnapf, seit 2021 als CFTO. Unser zweiter Gast hat Wirtschaft in Witten Herdeck und der UCLA Anderson School of Management studiert. Nach seinem Berufseinstieg bei Bertelsmann, war er zunächst über 9 Jahre bei McKinsey und danach ebenfalls über 9 Jahre bei der Rewe Group, zuletzt als CMO. Mitten in der Corona Pandemie startete er als CEO der Fressnapf Holding SE. Seit fast 6 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. In mehr als 360 Folgen haben wir uns mit über 400 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work - heute mit Christian Kümmel und Dr. Johannes Steegmann Episode 371 gibt es auf allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen, wie Spotify oder Apple Podcasts (oder direkt auf otwtnw.de). Einfach nach ‘On the Way to New Work' suchen und abonnieren, um keine Folge zu verpassen.

Thriving Project Management Thursdays - Project Management in the Age of Automation and RoboticsWelcome to another episode of "Thriving Project Management Thursdays." In today's episode, we'll be exploring the topic of project management in the age of automation and robotics. With the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics, project managers are facing new challenges and opportunities. How can project managers adapt to this new era of automation and leverage technology to achieve better project outcomes? Let's dive in.The Impact of Automation and Robotics on Project Management:Automation and robotics have the potential to transform the way we work and manage projects. According to a report by McKinsey, up to 800 million jobs could be automated by 2030. This will undoubtedly have a significant impact on project management, as tasks that were once performed by humans are now being automated.However, this also presents new opportunities for project managers. By leveraging automation and robotics, project managers can streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. For example, robots can perform repetitive tasks, such as data entry or assembly line work, freeing up human workers to focus on more complex and strategic tasks.Moreover, automation and robotics can also improve project safety. Robots can perform dangerous tasks, such as working in hazardous environments or handling toxic materials, reducing the risk of injury or illness for human workers.Challenges of Automation and Robotics in Project Management:While automation and robotics offer many benefits, they also present new challenges for project managers. One of the biggest challenges is managing the transition to a more automated workforce. This may require reskilling and upskilling existing employees, as well as hiring new workers with specialized skills.Moreover, project managers must also ensure that automation and robotics are integrated seamlessly into their projects. This requires careful planning and coordination, as well as ensuring that the technology is compatible with existing systems and processes.Another challenge is ensuring that automation and robotics are implemented in an ethical and responsible manner. As AI and robotics become more advanced, there are concerns about the impact on jobs and the potential for bias or discrimination in decision-making. Project managers must be aware of these risks and work to mitigate them.Real-Life Examples of Automation and Robotics in Project Management:There are many examples of how automation and robotics are being used in project management. For example, construction companies are using drones to survey job sites and monitor progress, reducing the need for manual inspections. Similarly, manufacturing companies are using robots to perform repetitive tasks, such as painting or welding.Another example is in the field of project management software. AI-powered project management tools can help automate tasks such as scheduling, resource allocation, and risk management. This not only saves time but also allows project managers to focus on higher-level strategic tasks.Experts' Views on Automation and Robotics in Project Management:According to a report by Deloitte, automation and robotics will play a significant role in the future of project management. However, the report notes that "the human factor remains critical in managing projects effectively."In an interview with Harvard Business Review, futurist and author Amy Webb notes that "technology is an enabler, not a replacement" for human skills in project management. She emphasizes the importance...
