“If you're as good as you say you are, you should be able to keep your cost structure down, deliver the mission and the outcome, and still make a margin.” - Josh Gruenbaum, Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service at the GSA The General Services Administration (GSA), responsible for Federal contracting, has been making DOGE-style headlines of their own this year. In late June, they sent a letter to a number of large consulting firms under contract, looking for opportunities to reduce spending and better understand the work that is underway. Josh Gruenbaum, who is overseeing the review, specifically requested “No consultant gobbledygook” in the responses. The GSA has signaled a mindset shift from time-and-materials to outcome based contracts, a dynamic that is likely to impact private sector consulting contracts and spending as well. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks into this shift and what it will require from all involved parties: How the government defines consulting services The multi-round outreach process being led by the Federal government and how firms are responding How to shift to outcome based agreements and the pressure of AI is likely to change the future of consulting Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Art of Supply on YouTube Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

n this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Mohib Yousufani, a senior partner at PwC who leads growth, turnaround, and digital transformation initiatives for Fortune 500 companies. Mohib brings a sharp focus on value creation, helping business leaders move beyond technology hype to deliver measurable outcomes through thoughtful digital strategies. Our conversation begins with a hard truth: many companies are confusing technology adoption with business outcomes. Mohib shares how organizations often rush to embrace the latest AI trends or automation tools without first identifying the core problems they need to solve. That misalignment, he explains, is why many digital transformation efforts stall or fail to scale beyond pilot mode. Mohib breaks down PwC's approach to digital transformation, which begins by translating enterprise ambition into actionable plans. We explore how aligning business unit goals, operating models, and leadership behavior is critical to successful implementation. He also offers a candid view of why so many projects suffer from process debt and legacy friction, often ignoring the people and culture dynamics that are central to lasting change. One of the most powerful parts of our discussion centers on how to evaluate ROI. Instead of focusing solely on cost savings, Mohib suggests expanding the lens to include revenue growth, time to market, risk mitigation, and strategic agility. He shares a compelling success story involving a CPG company that used AI and data science to optimize trade promotions and pricing, resulting in a three percent revenue lift and two percent margin expansion. We also talk about leadership's role in setting the tone. Culture, Mohib emphasizes, acts as a multiplier. Without executive alignment and clear behavioral modeling, even the most sophisticated tools won't deliver the promised value. If your organization is rethinking digital strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help you move from experimentation to real business impact. Are you building digital solutions that scale beyond buzzwords?

This episode delves into the crucial role of well-positioned goals in a developer's career. It asserts that goals provide clarity, perspective, and purpose, particularly focusing on clarity as a primary benefit. The discussion challenges common struggles with goal setting, including the often-overlooked importance of relevance (the 'R' in SMART goals), suggesting that an irrelevant goal, no matter how specific or measurable, is ultimately ineffective. The core message highlights that the purpose of a goal is to serve as a clarifying and prioritising tool, enabling you to make decisions about what to do and focus your efforts, rather than simply doing work that is handed to you. You will learn to start small and focus on desired outcomes or what you want to be true, accepting that a goal only needs to be "directionally correct" rather than perfect. The episode also provides a practical heuristic: to set goals by considering how your boss will evaluate your performance in the future. It emphasises the importance of setting goals that are challenging but sustainable, avoiding common pitfalls like overly abstract, too easy, or demoralisingly difficult goals, to prevent disengagement and burnout. Ultimately, consistent goal setting and reflection are presented as key drivers for long-term career success.Understand the fundamental importance of goals in providing clarity, perspective, and purpose in your career, especially for driven developers.Recognise that relevance is the most critical factor in goal setting; a goal's specificity or measurability is meaningless if it is not the right goal for you.Grasp that the primary function of a goal is to help you make decisions about what to do, acting as a clarifying, prioritising, and focusing tool for your efforts.Challenge the mindset that your goal as a software engineer is merely to complete assigned work; without personal goals, your career changes and skill development will be difficult.Learn to start small when setting goals and focus on desired outcomes or what you genuinely want to be true in your career.Embrace the concept of a "directionally correct" goal, understanding that a goal does not need to be perfect to guide you effectively towards a larger, long-term outcome.Utilise reflection after meeting a goal to assess whether it moved you closer to your long-term objectives, providing valuable steering for future goals.Employ a practical heuristic for goal setting: imagine how your boss would evaluate your performance in six months or a year, and set goals around those anticipated factors.Be proactive in discussing career growth and goal setting with your manager, framing it as an opportunity for them to direct your efforts towards organisational wins.Identify and avoid common pitfalls in goal setting, such as goals that are too abstract (not tractable), too easy (causing disengagement), or too difficult (leading to demoralisation).Strive for goals that offer a challenging but sustainable chance of success (e.g., around a 60% probability), requiring focus and the ability to say no, without leading to burnout.Understand that consistency in setting and pursuing goals is what ultimately defines long-term success, rather than the perfection of any single goal.

Send us a textWhat if your most valuable asset isn't listed anywhere on your balance sheet? As businesses struggle with burnout, retention, and ever-increasing demands, well-being strategist Anita Barbero offers a compelling vision for transforming workplace cultures through mindful, strategic wellness integration.Drawing from her extensive experience with iconic brands including ESPN, Disney, and Chewy, Barbero dismantles the misconception that well-being is merely a nice-to-have perk. "It needs to be embedded into the very fabric of the organization," she explains, presenting a business case that's impossible to ignore: companies investing in mental health initiatives see up to four times return through reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and lower healthcare costs.The magic happens when wellness isn't treated as a disconnected event but woven seamlessly into the corporate rhythm. Rather than disruptive hour-long sessions, Barbero advocates for "mindful minutes" before meetings, short guided breaks, and accessible resources that employees can engage with on their own terms. These micro-interventions, when practiced consistently, create measurable momentum.The pandemic marked a turning point, revealing what's possible when leaders show up with vulnerability and humanity. "Record numbers attended virtual well-being sessions," Barbero shares, "and executives appeared from their living rooms—not polished, but real." This crisis taught us that resilience isn't about pushing through; it's about pausing, connecting, and creating space for what's authentic.By blending science (evidence-based tools), spirit (purpose and connection), and strategy (sustainable practices), Barbero offers a holistic approach to workplace wellness that transcends trendy programs. In a workforce that's "tired, burned out, and craving something real," these practices aren't luxuries—they're necessities for organizations that want to thrive.Looking for practical strategies to transform your workplace culture?

Tune in and start setting goals you'll actually achieve! “The mere ordinary seems to be resistant to going viral. It's only the incredible and the extraordinary that goes viral. So we are skewed in terms of some of the reference points that we have around what we should be capable of, what we should be doing, what we should be achieving. And that leads us to be highly motivated to try to make an impact, to establish ourselves. But it also then can tip over into threat if we feel that we're falling short, or that people are judging us for not being enough, for not doing enough, for not contributing enough.” ~Dr. Ross White Our guest, Dr. Ross White, is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Queen's University Belfast and the founder of Strive2Thrive, a clinical psychology consultancy firm that provides interventions and training to help individuals and organizations thrive. He is an expert in supporting the mental well-being of adults working in high-performance settings.

In today's episode, I sit down with John Adam, Chief Revenue Officer at Aimprosoft, for a direct conversation on what it really takes to implement AI inside a business. With AI hype dominating headlines, many companies are either rushing in without a clear plan or standing still out of fear of making the wrong move. John brings a grounded perspective, shaped by years of helping mid-sized firms and enterprise teams move beyond buzzwords and into real, measurable outcomes. We explore how Aimprosoft guides clients to focus on AI projects that are low in complexity but high in impact. These early wins are often the key to building internal buy-in and unlocking wider adoption across departments. John shares why modular implementation strategies are becoming more popular, especially for companies that want to avoid getting locked into any one vendor or platform. Our conversation goes beyond the technical. We discuss where AI tools actually deliver value and where they fall short. John highlights that AI performs well in rules-based, repetitive environments but still struggles with nuance, edge cases, and anything that requires emotional intelligence. He also outlines the importance of ethics, especially in regulated industries, and offers a pragmatic approach to mitigating bias, protecting data, and maintaining brand voice. With examples drawn from Aimprosoft's client work, including success stories involving scalable platform rebuilds and cost-saving test automation, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of how AI is being used today. John emphasizes that the right starting point is a good data strategy, supported by simple pilot projects that prove value early. If you're a leader trying to separate substance from noise in AI conversations, this episode offers an honest look at what works, what doesn't, and how to move forward without overcommitting. What's the smartest first step your team can take with AI right now? Let's find out.

This realization helps demystify culture and make it actionable.Small organizations can see cultural shifts in 3-6 months, while larger organizations may need more time and multi-level buy-in.Feedback is simply data that helps inform whether behaviors need to shift, removing the negative connotation.Quality trumps quantity when it comes to manager-employee check-ins; even 15 minutes can be effective with established trust.Cultural competencies can be developed using simple tools like AI prompts to generate starting points.The minimum cadence for one-on-one meetings should be every other week, with weekly being ideal.Highlights:00:00 Welcome and Intro 02:47 Understanding Work Culture 05:49 Defining Organizational Culture 08:17 Embedding Culture into Strategy 11:21 Performance Clarity and Competencies 12:44 Cultural Accountability and Leadership 14:29 Organizational Culture and Change Management 18:00 Feedback Mechanisms in Communication 21:03 Utilizing AI for Leadership Competencies 24:01 Translating Strategy into Operations 26:42 Building Trust in Remote Work Environments 29:38 Transitioning from Corporate to Entrepreneurship 30:10 Transition to Entrepreneurship 32:58 Entrepreneurship and Client Profiles 35:31 Improving Work Culture in Alternative Markets 38:12 Website Promotion and Cultural Improvement 39:19 Podcast episode ended Resources:FAST goal-setting framework: Frequently discussed, Ambitious, Specific, TransparentSMART goal-setting framework: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-boundAI tools like ChatGPT/Perplexity for generating competency frameworksSample culture statements and competency frameworks onlineCarol Shen, founder of Start Culture Shift, helps leaders build people-centered, high-performing cultures.

This weekend the final race of the triple crown unfolds in New York and the Belmont Stakes. Once those trained athletes have raced, and bred, what's next? For some - retirement. Bob Bosold visits with Tom Beatty, a volunteer at a farm called "Old Friends". It's the retirement home for over 300 horses in Georgetown, KY, that may have raced in one place or another, or are just a valuable part of someone's family. Beatty explains how the farm got its start, and who some of their famous stablemates are. Measurable rain is on the way for most of Wisconsin today and tomorrow, slowing down planting progress. Stu Muck explains where it's coming from and where it will be heaviest. Wisconsin is finally in the final leg of preparation to join the national testing campaign tracing H5N1 in dairy. Although the states been testing for the virus since last fall, becoming a part of the national USDA effort has brought challenges. Stephanie Hoff visits with WI Ag Secretary, Randy Romanski and WDATCP Administrator of the Division of Food and Recreational Health, Adam Brock. Wisconsin farmers kept rolling on spring planting chores. Pam Jahnke reports that 73% of the states corn and 66% of the soybeans were in the ground as of Sunday. Plus, about 5% of the first cutting of alfalfa hay has already been harvested. Markets are talking rain delays in the eastern corn belt. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend says the planting progress numbers intrigued traders. Meanwhile, watch cattle. A bubble burst in the market on prices last week, but consumers keep visiting the beef showcase at the retail level.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Ishreen's latest blog that explores how DEIB is shifting from rhetoric to a business-critical strategy in 2025 is brought to life by her AI friends from NotebookLM. Drawing on Ishreen's insights, this episode unpacks why Chief People Officers, CHROs, L&D, D&I, and ERG leaders must embed DEIB into core operations so that they can deliver measurable outcomes and long-term resilience in today’s rapidly changing business landscape. 5 Key Takeaways DEIB is evolving from a political talking point to a driver of measurable business outcomes, essential for organisational resilience. Economic pressures and ROI scrutiny are forcing leaders to align DEIB with core business objectives and tangible results. Integration of DEIB into leadership, talent, and culture is now vital - standalone initiatives are no longer sufficient. Employee expectations, especially among younger generations, make inclusive workplaces non-negotiable for attracting and retaining top talent. The Pioneers Movement’s DEIB 3.0 framework offers practical pathways and resources for organisations to achieve sustainable, win-win outcomes. 5 Best Moments “We’re seeing a real shift-DEIB is no longer just a nice-to-have or a tick-box exercise. It’s being recognised as a core business driver.” “The economic climate means every initiative is under scrutiny. Leaders are asking, ‘How does this contribute to our bottom line and resilience?’” “It’s not enough to run a few workshops or have a policy on the intranet. DEIB needs to be woven into the fabric of how we lead and operate.” “Younger employees are voting with their feet. If they don’t see real inclusion, they’ll leave-no matter how good your benefits package is.” “Our Pioneers Movement is all about moving from rhetoric to results. We provide the frameworks and research so leaders can deliver real, measurable change.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Privilege Survey https://intelligentlinking261447.typeform.com/to/SNkQvD0v Website: https://belongingpioneers.com/privilege-research-and-podcast Email: equitychampions@belongingpioneers.com ABOUT THE HOST Ishreen Bradley, a Strategic Pioneer, excels in guiding Professional Leaders through complex challenges with clarity, confidence, and courage.

Why Follow-Up Is a Leadership Practice with Doug C. Brown Let's face it—“follow-up” doesn't always have the best reputation. It can feel pushy, annoying, or just like one more thing on your to-do list. But what if follow-up wasn't about pestering people… and instead became one of the most powerful tools you have to show care, build trust, and lead with integrity? In this episode, Dr. Mike Patterson sits down with renowned sales expert Doug C. Brown to reframe everything you think you know about follow-up. Doug shares why this essential practice is about more than just closing a deal—it's about strengthening relationships, delivering value, and showing others that they matter. About the Episode: Doug C. Brown, CEO of CEO Sales Strategies, brings over 40 years of sales leadership to the table. He's worked with brands like Tony Robbins, CBS, and Procter & Gamble, built 35 businesses, and helped generate over $900 million in sales. But at the heart of his success is a simple principle: effective, personalized follow-up builds relationships—and relationships drive results. In this conversation, Doug explains why follow-up should be part of every leader's toolkit. Whether you're managing a team, building a business, or simply aiming to serve others better, consistent and thoughtful follow-up creates connection, increases retention, and unlocks new opportunities. You'll hear real-world stories about how follow-up has led to massive referrals, strengthened loyalty, and even closed six-figure deals. Doug also shares how poor follow-up costs companies thousands (if not millions) and reveals how you can avoid those losses with just a few intentional habits. Key Takeaways: Follow-Up = Leadership: It's not about pestering—it's about showing respect, accountability, and care. ABR: Always Be Building Relationships: Forget the old ABCs of sales—lasting relationships are what lead to lasting results. Why People Don't Buy Immediately: Emotional, logistical, and trust-related factors often delay purchases—follow-up bridges the gap. Multimodal Matters: Effective follow-up isn't just about phone calls—it's texts, emails, handwritten notes, and more. Three-a-Day Rule: Want to change your business? Follow up with just three people a day. That's 1,000+ meaningful connections a year. Whether you're a business leader, a coach, or a team builder—this episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage the people around you. If you want to build stronger relationships, increase trust, and lead with more integrity, it starts with simple, consistent follow-up.
