CLOs today must ask: Is our work building lasting, relevant skills right now? Are we delivering business impact? Is the work building or diminishing L&Ds effectiveness and credibility? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then perhaps it is time for a skills accelerator approach. This is the title of a CLO Lift report and in this episode, we unpack what it means and why it's critical to us, in L&D, but more importantly to our organisations and employees. KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D professionals need to become true business partners instead of just trainers and focus on the development aspect of their role. When you focus on data you are effective, and the rest of the business understands that data. Leverage AI and simulations to deliver fast.  Understand the relevance of each skill. What is it about that skill or new technology that will enable the learner to do their job better? When your business does something new, be a part of the rollout so truly relevant learning is available from the start. BEST MOMENTS “Capability building can't just be through learning programs.

Listen to this interview of Istvan David, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Department of Computing and Software, Faculty of Engineering, McMaster University, Canada; and, Houari Sahraoui, Full Professor, Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, University of Montreal, Canada. We talk about their coauthored paper "Digital Twins for Cyber-Biophysical Systems: Challenges and Lessons Learned" (MODELS 2023). Istvan David : "Making Figure 1, and also all of the text that depends on it——this was one of the hardest parts about writing this paper. I remember, in the very first draft, we had another layer there of abstraction, but we saw that the content was really hard to follow that way. So, for me personally, my takeaway from that process was: Though it made sense to us back then to follow our case-based generalization approach, this just wasn't going to work for a reader who hadn't gone down that exact same research path as us. So, really, you have to mindful of your reader like that."​ Learn more about your ad choices.

Vivek Anand leads a team of data scientists, statisticians and operations research professionals that apply Data Science and Operations Research techniques to build production ready solutions for problems related to Demand Forecasting, Price Optimization, and Inventory Allocation/Arbitration/Replenishment for Gap Inc. In this episode, Vivek delves into the strength of combining science and machine learning to make informed pricing decisions. He emphasizes the importance of starting small and continuously enhancing strategies through data-driven approaches. It also explores the differences in B2C and B2B pricing, the impact of AI on supporting salespeople, and the challenges of misaligned incentives in achieving business success.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand the need for compensation structures and incentives to align with business objectives that support desired outcomes Discover how AI is impacting the way salespeople handle pricing and negotiation Learn how to leverage both science and machine learning to make more informed pricing decisions   "If you're new to the journey, start small. You don't have to go and build a transformer network on day one. Even a simple EDA, Exploratory Data Analysis, can give you a ton of insights than just a guesswork." - Vivek Anand   Topics Covered: 01:19 - What paved his way into pricing 03:26 - How credit risk and interest risk influence pricing derivatives 04:37 - Thoughts on quantifying risks 05:36 - Data science in relation to AI advancement 07:39 - AI capabilities in capturing contextual and temporal information and other pricing techniques using AI 11:30 - Talking about AI and extrapolation 12:47 - B2C pricing versus B2B pricing and the significant difference in data availability between the two 18:38 - How AI can be utilized in the B2B world to assist salespeople in pricing and negotiation 23:57 - Vivek's one best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: "B2C is mostly, pricing is a lever to generate demand. Whereas in B2B, it's more of a lever to gauge the willingness to pay from the customer's standpoint.” - Vivek Anand "I think data science is a big tent, and AI is a part of it." - Vivek Anand “The way I think about AI is like, instead of making it heuristics, it learns from the data or it just comes up with a mechanism that just translates input to the output, more systemic, faster learning and can be deployed at scale.” - Vivek Anand   Connect with Vivek Anand: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/va2260/   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Decision-making is an essential part of everyday life and one of the main applications of data science is making the decision-making process easier.However, mostly when data scientists build models, it's to make a single decision. But in real life, decision-making is rarely that simple.In this episode, Prof Warren Powell joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to discuss one way in which the decision-making process can become more complicated, in the form of sequential decision problems.Guest BioWarren Powell is the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Optimal Dynamics and a Professor Emeritus after retiring from Princeton, where he was a faculty member in the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering. He is also the author of Sequential Decision Analytics and Modelling and Reinforcement Learning and Stochastic Optimization.Talking PointsWhat is a sequential decision problem?Real-life examples of sequential decision problems and the disciplines in which they occur.The four main classes of techniques for solving sequential decision problems.How Warren's approach to addressing sequential decision problems differs from the standard approach in this space.The challenges of implementing sequential decision analysis techniques in practice.LinksConnect with Warren on LinkedInWarren's website (SDA Links)Connect with Genevieve on LinkedInBe among the first to hear about the release of each new podcast episode by signing up HERE
