The Small Data Forum podcast was created spontaneously and almost accidentally after your three co-hosts met on a panel at a media industry event in 2016, a few weeks before the EU Referendum. After a lively debate featuring sometimes radically-divergent views to keep our audience entertained well past the scheduled end time, seasoned podcaster Neville Hobson suggested to podcast ingenus Thomas Stoeckle and Sam Knowles that our ramblechats might work rather well in pod land. Who were we to argue? And so it came to pass – with Thomas' wry titling – that the Small Data Forum came into being, with the inaugural episode dropping on 14 June 2016. Since then, we've taken a more-or-less-monthly, sideways look at the uses and abuses of data big and Small in politics, business, and public life.  Continue reading -> https://www.smalldataforum.com/ 

The healthcare industry worldwide is changing. Hospitals and healthcare systems in many countries are struggling to control costs, increase revenues, train and retain skilled employees, and treat and care for patients. In the business of health care, new approaches and ideas are coming to the fore as part of this journey to transform healthcare and ultimately change patients' lives. In this episode, podcast host Neville Hobson joins guests Mike Ward, Global Head of Life Sciences and Healthcare Thought Leadership at Clarivate, and Jerry Harrison, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a member of Talking Heads, and healthcare and life sciences business entrepreneur, to discuss new approaches to investment that connect financial and human capital to communities in the healthcare space that share knowledge, interest and passion for healthcare innovation. And we examine how innovation is bringing some startling ideas in healthcare to life. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's interview is with Vala Afshar and Brad W. Martin of Enterays who have recently written a book called The Pursuit of Social Business Excellence, which charts Enterasys' transformation into a truly social business. This interview follows on from my recent interview with Neville Hobson in Lessons from ten years of blogging and eight years of podcasting and makes up number forty-five in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things and helping businesses innovate, become more social and deliver better service. Vala's name may be familiar to some of you as I interviewed him back in September 2011 in: What is a Chief Customer Officer. There's some great insights in interview and less theory and more ideas about what they have done, what works and what they have achieved.

Today's interview is with Neville Hobson, an entrepreneurial communications professional who has been blogging since 2002 and podcasting since 2005. This interview came about after Neville posted on his blog in the middle of December that he started blogging ten years ago. Following that post, I was thrilled when he agreed to be interviewed for my blog about the lessons that he had learnt from his years of blogging and podcasting. This interview follows on from my recent interview with Jacob Morgan Solve customer and business problems faster through collaboration and makes up number forty-four in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things and helping businesses innovate, become more social and deliver better service.

Five days after voting ended in the UK General Election, Thomas Stoeckle, Neville Hobson and Sam Knowles joined in live conversation recorded in London. We continue our conversation about the state of the UK informed somewhat by the outcome of #GE2019 where we have moved onward from the hung Parliament territory of the 2017 General Election to a government with a healthy majority. Our wide-ranging discussion started with our assessment of the 2019 election outcome, our opinions on the catastrophic situation the Labour Party now finds itself in, who might success Jeremy Corbin and what the way forward for Labour might be to become electable. We spent a little time picking over the entrails of the predictions we made for the election in episode 30 and looked ahead with further prediction for 2020.

Has it succeeded in protecting Europeans' privacy? PR professionals are relegating earned media to the dustbin; Arabic podcasts are on the rise, embracing a long tradition of oral storytelling; more CEOs were terminated in 2018 over ethical lapses than financial performance; and The Wall Street Journal is limiting comments to paying subscribers, and it's working.

In the opening episode of Season Three of the Digital Download podcast, we take a look at some of the emerging technologies that digital communications professionals need to start paying attention to. Using Gartner's Hype Cycle as a reference point, communications technology expert Neville Hobson and I discuss what's predicted to hit the mainstream within the next two to three years.

How can you use podcasting or live online radio as a team-building exercise? What happens when you take 16 people, 10 of whom have never done anything with audio, and tell them that in 4 hours they have to stream an hour of live audio on the public Internet? In this episode, Neville Hobson and I talk about exactly this experience! This segment with Neville was actually my weekly report into the For Immediate Release (FIR) podcast hosted by Shel Holtz. It was part of FIR #146 on July 16, 2018. You can hear the entire show at https://firpodcastnetwork.com/fir-146-is-business-dropping-the-e-in-peso/ You can learn more about Neville at: http://www.nevillehobson.com https://twitter.com/jangles The company that did the exercise we talked about is at http://liveat3.today

Thomas Stoeckle, Neville Hobson and Sam Knowles in conversation on big and small data. In this episode, we discuss the immediate aftermath of GDPR following its enablement on May 25, 2018. Continue reading -> https://www.smalldataforum.com/

Data, data everywhere, but ethics in short supply. The latest episode of the Small Data Forum podcast follows the classic narrative arc of a three-act story. Beginning, middle, and end. The set-up, the confrontation, and the resolution. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. And although our wide-ranging discussion did run the risk of leaving all three co-hosts in the depths of despair, Neville Hobson, Thomas Stoeckle, and I end up hoping that the asteroid NASA predicts is hurtling towards earth can be diverted from its nihilistic path.

As the Small Data Forum progresses through its early teenage years – our latest podcast is episode 14 already – regular co-hosts Thomas Stoeckle, Neville Hobson, and Sam Knowles are taking the opportunity to look forward by looking back. Patients of our own medicine, you might say, we’re using the year end and what we’ve observed and learned in 2017 to enter the predictive analytics business. We take our inspiration from Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, transitions, and time, after whom January is named... Continue reading -> https://www.smalldataforum.com/

Thomas Stoeckle, Neville Hobson and Sam Knowles in conversation on the history and function of PR, business and Big Data (and the ten Vs of Big Data), SNCR research initiative and survey into fake news, and more.

A topic that’s dominated our conversation in recent episodes of The Small Data Forum podcast is fake news and related issues. In episode 7, hosted by Thomas Stoeckle in conversation with regulars Neville Hobson and Sam Knowles, we consider world wide web inventor Tim Berner-Lee’s call to action on what he sees as three big challenges for the web: Loss of control of personal data; Spread of misinformation; and Questionable political advertising. The second one in particular – spread of misinformation – offers another perspective on the fake news topic, part of the so-called post-Truth world, that speaks to a key aspect of this contemporary phenomenon: the dissemination of falsehoods and how can we address that. Thomas asks: Is it time for a new or updated Cluetrain manifesto? Cue lively discussion.

In episode 5 of the Small Data Forum podcast series hosted by LexisNexis – our Christmas and year-end edition – Neville Hobson, Sam Knowles and I reflect on fake news and their distribution networks, the alleged gaming of Google search rankings, the promise of augmented intelligence and broad questions of how civil societies deal with the emerging and evolving challenges. Do we need more regulation? And who will regulate the regulators?   In the last few weeks, there has been significant attention in mainstream and social media on how Google search rankings are being influenced by right wing propaganda (link) how the production of fake news has become a business model (link) how professional journalism is struggling with the phenomenon of fake news (link). Even Pope Francis joined the debate by denouncing the slander and defamation through fake news as sin (link).  The debate following the surprising outcome of the US Presidential Elections has shifted from highlighting the shortcomings of political polling, to a thorough examination of the circumstances and conditions that led to the election of Donald Trump. The media researcher and data journalism expert Jonathan Albright tested his hypothesis of a fake news ecosystem by crawling and indexing more than 300 websites known to be associated with fake news. He analysed more than 1.3m URLs and found what he described as a "micro propaganda machine".   Whilst it is possible to identify both 'left-wing', and 'right-wing' media ecosystems, the core of the matter is not about politics, but about trust in facts and accurate information. It is about the responsibility of stakeholders, including the large social networks such as Google, Facebook and YouTube. But how will such a responsibility be defined? How will it express itself? Can the claim of algorithmic neutrality still be upheld, or should it be replaced with algorithmic accountability? Is this a question of morality and ethics, or rather one of regulation and the application of the Rule of Law? How do we weigh the risks of policing and censoring the internet against the dangers of a manipulated anarchic swamp of bigotry and hatred? Listen to Neville, Sam and myself debating the various aspects of the current debate.  

Recent expressions of democratic political will – the UK referendum on EU membership, the US presidential elections – have surprised most observers and commentators. Both outcomes, i.e. Brexit and Trump, were not what most of the polling data indicated. This episode of the Small Data Forum is asking whether we should and could have seen this coming. Together with Sam Knowles of Insight Agents and Neville Hobson of IBM Social Consulting, I'm looking at some of the mechanisms at play: the psychology of predictions, the new phenomenon of fake news, echo chamber effects in the way people consume and share information, the way data was analysed and interpreted. Were the wrong questions asked? Are there better, more reliable ways of asking questions in order to get to more robust and reliable answers? And would those answers lead to more accurate predictions of outcomes? As academics, professional communicators, political commentators and others are trying to put the recent developments in context, to understand the future of our information economy and ecology, the Small Data Forum will continue to highlight and explore some of the big and small issues that big and small data both raise, and address.

Neville Hobson talks about the role artificial intelligence and machine learning will have in the public relations industry.

On the latest episode of Chats with Chip, I'm joined by Neville Hobson to talk about the role artificial intelligence and machine learning will have in the public relations industry. Neville is the co-founder of the FIR Podcast Network and currently works for IBM -- home of Watson.

Episode 2 of the Small Data Forum podcast focuses on the role and use of data in the campaigns for the EU referendum vote in the UK. Neville Hobson, Sam Knowles and Thomas Stoeckle discuss the outcome of Brexit and the appearance of Regrexit; the so-called buyers' remorse of some leave voters, following an immediate change in the argument and presentation of facts, as well as data evidence of negative effects on currency, share prices.

How do you make Big Data less intimidating, more actionable and thus more valuable? That is the question at the heart of the Small Data Forum, an initiative by LexisNexis Business Insight Solutions to listen, learn, share and educate ourselves and others who grapple with the challenges of the information avalanche. This inaugural episode includes reflections from industry thought-leaders Neville Hobson, Sam Knowles and host Thomas Stoeckle: How do we make data valuable, How do we make it understandable and turn it into insights, How do we 'crack the nut' with an intelligent nutcracker, instead of a dumb sledgehammer, How do we achieve that effective symbiosis between machines and humans

Welcome to episode #230 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This past week, I wrote a Blog post titled, The Selfish Art of Podcasting. Well, if there's one episode that I can point to as an example of that kind of selfishness, this one would be it. While visiting London for less than 24-hours a few weeks back, I was thrilled to finally meet Neville Hobson in person for breakfast. I've been connected to Neville for almost six years now, but we've never met in our "protein forms" (as I like to call it). Hobson is the co-host (along with Shel Holtz) of the incredible PR and communications Podcast, For Immediate Release - The Hobson & Holtz Report. These two have been producing shows since January 2005 (they're close to publishing episode #575!). They are - without question - pioneers in the business Podcasting space, and Hobson's perspective on all things Social Media and Communications illustrate both his experience and passion for the space. This was also my first attempt at recording a conversation using the HT Recorder iPhone app (I think the results are amazing). Enjoy the conversation...
