Transformations are hard, and too often, they fail to deliver on their promise. In this episode of The Product Experience, Lily and Randy speak with Jen Swanson, CEO of Tuckpoint Advisory Group, to unpack why transformation initiatives falter and what it truly takes to succeed.Key Takeaways— Transformation requires intentionality: Real transformation isn't accidental or surface-level; it must be deliberate, comprehensive, and backed by leadership.— Avoid ‘transformation theatre': Pretending to change—without restructuring ownership, processes, or collaboration—is worse than doing nothing at all.— Start with honest orientation: Knowing your starting point is essential before plotting a path forward.— Executive involvement is non-negotiable: Transformations can't be delegated. Leadership must model the change and communicate relentlessly.— Product-led is about mindset, not just teams: Everyone should operate within the product model, but not all need to be on product teams.— Pace matters: Organisations must assess their capacity for change and determine the right balance between ambition and sustainability.— Give grace for the learning curve: People need space to be bad at new things before they get good—psychological safety is essential.Chapters0:00 – Introduction & the myth of sneaky transformations1:01 – Jen's background and path into product2:53 – What transformation really means5:53 – Defining honest orientation8:00 – What is transformation theatre?12:09 – When real change feels fake13:04 – The importance of executive commitment16:04 – Why transformations fail19:11 – Common catalysts for transformation22:06 – Product-led vs product thinking25:00 – Who's in the opOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Does your organisation struggle to retain high-potential female talent without knowing why? Today I am looking at 5 key reasons organisations struggle to retain key female talent mid-career. We are discussing:Culture, inclusion and belongingTransparency  - this is a biggie!Active sponsorshipLeadership developmentLet's be really honest about the barriers women are facing on a day-to-day basis and start taking measurable action towards creating more enriching careers for women.Something I said today:"Women must be made aware when internal roles are opening up for application. Too often they are not made equally aware of potential opportunities and so can't apply. This has a compound impact: not only do they not even have the opportunity to present themselves as a potential candidate, their exclusion can lead to them doubting the support they have in the organisation which can then also diminish their confidence and sense of belonging further."

The Stories We Never Tell: Writing Black Leadership into ExistenceDr Barbara Banda shares her marathon writing session during lockdown, where she spent from 3am through the night crafting the first chapter of her groundbreaking book "The Model Black." This deeply personal chapter forced her to confront experiences she'd never spoken about openly, exploring what it means to "come out as Black" in professional environments. Barbara discusses her interviews with 30 Black British leaders, including David Lammy and Trevor Phillips, revealing the strategies they use to navigate predominantly white workplaces. The conversation explores the healing power of sharing untold stories, the unique challenges faced by Black leaders in Britain, and how authentic storytelling can bridge understanding across communities.Barbara's Longest Day started writing at 3am and continued through the night, as she was determined to complete her first chapter of "The Model Black". The book is based on interviews with 30 Black British leaders, from well-known figures to those quietly leading major organisations. It focuses specifically on the British context, resisting publisher pressure to make it international. The book explores strategies for navigating predominantly white workplaces rather than being a "how-to" success guide.Best Quote: "I can't find them anywhere. I don't find that those experiences are not written down. My experience is not captured anywhere... There was nothing that I could put my hand on to say actually, if you're coaching a Black leader, or if you're leading a team, and you've got Black people within it, here's something that just might be helpful to you."Resources "The Model Black: How Black British Leaders Succeed in Organisations and Why it Matters" by Dr Barbara Banda (published by Routledge) includes interviews with leaders including David Lammy (current Foreign Secretary) and Trevor Phillips: https://www.routledge.com/The-Model-Black-How-Black-British-Leaders-Succeed-in-Organisations-and-Why-It-Matters/Banda/p/book/9781032060545?srsltid=AfmBOoptMFvTOl8eHyVb2TX_u7R0OiUgpaAGmDFeVOph05bS5E5yARn9 Contact InformationFind Dr Barbara Banda here: Website: https://www.barbarabandaconsulting.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-banda-consulting/ Find Leah Brown FRSA here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-brown-frsa-b71b0844/ and @leahtalks_ on Instagram, TikTok and X.Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode by following The Longest Day Podcast here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelongestdaypodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/15QDqkhjZw/?mibextid=wwXIfr YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLongestDayPodcast-z1x X: @longestdaypod TikTok: @thelongestdaypodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongestdaypodcast Website: www.thelongestdaypodcast.com All previous episodes: https://pod.link/1684217939

In this deeply insightful episode of Educator Yarns, we journey with Kat Fulford, a passionate early childhood educator from Ararat, Victoria, who shares her transformative approach to embedding Aboriginal perspectives in kindergarten education. From her unique background transitioning from agricultural industry to early childhood education, Kat brings a profound connection to Country that permeates every aspect of her teaching practice. She candidly discusses the challenges of finding Aboriginal education resources in regional Victoria, the powerful moments that shaped her commitment to this work, and practical strategies for creating meaningful connections between children and Country. Kat reveals how simple acts like wearing clothing with Indigenous patterns can signal safety and inclusion to Aboriginal families, and shares moving stories about five-year-olds becoming advocates for acknowledging traditional owners in their primary schools. This conversation offers invaluable insights into slow pedagogy, seasonal learning through Aboriginal perspectives, and the importance of building authentic relationships with local Aboriginal communities. Key Takeaways: Plant the seeds early: Children as young as five can understand and advocate for Aboriginal recognition, becoming champions for respect of traditional owners in their future schools and communities Embrace slow pedagogy: Following Miriam Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann's Dadirri philosophy allows children to deeply connect with Country and develop organic, meaningful relationships with Aboriginal perspectives Learn through Aboriginal seasons: Grounding curriculum in local Aboriginal seasonal calendars creates authentic place-based learning that connects children to the natural cycles of their environment Every element can include Aboriginal perspectives: From nature play to sustainability projects, there's no aspect of early childhood education that can't incorporate Indigenous knowledge Start where you are: Even without extensive knowledge, beginning the journey and being open about learning alongside children creates powerful educational moments Build community networks: In regional areas, 'local' may mean travelling hours to connect with Aboriginal organisations, but these relationships are invaluable for authentic practice Use multiple resources: Organisations like VAEAI (Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Incorporated), local AECGs, and Koorie Education Support Officers provide essential support and guidance Language preservation matters: Understanding the devastating impact of language loss helps educators appreciate why maintaining and reviving Aboriginal languages is crucial for cultural survival Small gestures have big impacts: Simple actions like displaying Aboriginal flags or wearing Indigenous patterns can signal to Aboriginal families that their children will be culturally safe Mistakes are learning opportunities: Following the principle that "you can't get it wrong by trying," educators should start their journey without fear, adjusting their approach as they learn This episode demonstrates how one educator's commitment to sharing Country's story has created ripple effects throughout her community, inspiring children, families, and fellow educators to engage more deeply with Aboriginal perspectives. Kat's practical examples, from growing rare native plants with children to developing child-led Acknowledgements of Country, provide a roadmap for educators seeking to embed authentic Aboriginal content in their programs. Her emphasis on relationship-building, continuous learning, and the courage to begin despite uncertainty offers both inspiration and practical guidance for early childhood professionals at any stage of their reconciliation journey.

Is work becoming too much? Between the chaos of AI-generated content, the pressure of constant digital demands, and outdated workplace models, something's got to give. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram speaks with Brent Kedzierski, workplace futurist and former Head of Global Learning Strategy at Shell, to explore how we can build more human-centred organisations in the age of AI. Brent introduces powerful concepts like work density and work intensity, exposing why today's work environments leave so many people overwhelmed—and how we can fix that. He challenges legacy industrial thinking, highlights the generational misalignments at play, and makes the case for designing work that supports cognitive clarity, emotional fulfilment, and real human value. If you're a leader grappling with AI overload, generational tensions, or rising burnout, this conversation offers both a wake-up call and a hopeful way forward. ----more---- Key Takeaways Too Much Work, Not Enough Meaning - AI and outdated systems are overwhelming employees and draining purpose from work. Rethinking Work: Density vs. Intensity - True engagement requires both clarity in the work and emotional connection to it. Gen Z Wants Purpose, Not Just Promotion -  Younger workers seek meaning and growth, not just a climb up the corporate ladder. Design With Humans, Not Just for Them - Organisations must shift from control to co-creation to build healthier, more fulfilling work. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:00:10 – Are We Making Work Too Intense? 0:03:48 – Meet Brent Kedzierski: From Steel Mills to Shell to Shaping the Future of Work 0:07:03 – A Crash Course in the Five Industrial Revolutions 0:13:32 – The AI Explosion: Autocatalytic Data and Algorithmic Drift 0:17:36 – Work Density and Intensity: Fixing the Chaos of Modern Work 0:22:45 – Generational Disconnect: Gen Z vs. Old-School Work Thinking 0:30:47 – The Four Human Truths of Meaningful Work 0:35:16 – Designing Work That Feeds the Brain, Not Just the Bottom Line 0:39:33 – Sticky Notes: Brent's Top 3 Takeaways for Thriving in Industry 5.0 0:42:39 – Wrapping Up: What's Next for Leaders and Organisations ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Brent Kedzierski on LinkedIn here Visit Brent's website here Read some of Brent's stuff at Hexagon here Follow Brent on Instagram here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

The ability to effectively manage and optimise data is key in an organisation today. But with the sheer volume and complexity of enterprise data, traditional methods are struggling to keep up with the change. This is where the agentic AI approach has swooped in to transform how organisations handle their most valuable resource. "The promise of AI and agentic AI is that we're now building very meaningful automation into the platform such that these teams of 10 are now able to basically actually capture all of the metadata about all of the data cataloged across their entire company," stated Corey Keyser, the head of artificial intelligence (AI) at Ataccama.In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, a B2B tech journalist and Podcast host at EM360Tech speaks with Keyser from Ataccama, about agentic AI, data quality, and data governance. They explore how intelligent automation is shaping enterprise data management, the role of AI in improving data quality, and the importance of trust in AI systems. Additionally, Keyser shares significant insights on Ataccama's unique approach to data governance, practical applications of their AI agent, and how they are keeping pace with the constantly changing AI regulations. While the speed and efficiency of AI are undeniable, the question of trust remains. Keyser addressed this directly: "The short answer is you can never fully trust these automations, right? “That's why it's really critical to always have data stewards that we will serve. We will always have data engineers that we will serve. We're just looking to improve their productivity. We always assume that there will be humans in the loop who are verifying the tasks orchestrated by AI agents."Ataccama's One AI Agent exemplifies the practical application of these principles. Keyser added that the AI agent can go and create data quality rules in bulk. “Go through the evaluation and testing of those quality rules in bulk, and then also assign the rules in bulk. Something that would take potentially weeks, can now actually kind of take hours depending on the person."TakeawaysAgentic AI is about dynamic planning and semi-autonomous task execution.Data governance involves cataloging and managing organisational data.Data quality assessment is crucial for ensuring high trust in data.AI can significantly speed up the creation of data quality rules.Human oversight is essential in AI-driven automation processes.Atacama's AI agent improves productivity for data management teams.Regulatory compliance is a growing concern for AI applications.User experience is key to successful AI integration in organisations.The relationship between data and AI is symbiotic and essential.Organisations must adapt to evolving AI regulations and standards.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Agentic AI and Data Governance02:41 Understanding Data Quality

Mehrere Minister der neuen schwarz-roten Regierung haben von der Wirtschaft in die Politik gewechselt. Statt eines Unternehmens werden Katharina Reiche, Karsten Wildberger, Wolfram Weimer oder Verena Hubertz jetzt jeweils ein Ministerium leiten. Kann das gutgehen? Sind Manager*innen ein „Glücksgriff“ für die neue Regierung, weil sie frischen Wind bringen und die geforderte „Wirtschaftswende“ mit Experten aus der Praxis leichter gelingen kann? Oder drohen Interessenskonflikte, wie der Verein Lobbbycontrol fürchtet? Und wie kommt ein politischer Neuling wie der Ex-Ceconomy-Chef Wildberger im politischen Alltag zurecht?

What happens when access to advanced AI models is no longer the real differentiator, and the true advantage lies in how businesses leverage their own data? At the AWS Summit in London, I sat down with Rahul Pathak, Vice President of Data and AI Go-to-Market at AWS, to unpack this question and explore how organisations are moving beyond experimentation and into large-scale generative AI adoption. Recorded live on the show floor, this conversation explores how AWS is supporting customers at every layer of their AI journey. From custom silicon innovations like Trainium and Inferentia to scalable services like Bedrock, Q Developer, and SageMaker, AWS is giving businesses the infrastructure, tools, and flexibility to innovate with confidence. Rahul shared how leading organisations such as BT Group, SAP, and Lonely Planet are already applying these tools to reduce costs, speed up development cycles, and deliver tailored experiences that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. A key theme that emerged in our discussion is that data, not just models, is the true foundation of effective AI. Rahul explained why unifying data across silos is critical and how AWS is helping companies create more intelligent applications by connecting what they uniquely know about their business to powerful AI capabilities. We also addressed the operational realities of AI deployment. From moving proof-of-concept projects into production to meeting the growing demand for responsible AI, the challenges are shifting. Organisations are now focused on trust, security, transparency, and measurable value. If you're leading digital transformation and wondering how to scale AI solutions that deliver on business outcomes, this episode provides practical insight from someone at the center of the industry. How will your business stand out in a world where every company has access to AI models, but only a few know how to apply them with purpose?

Tourism organisations from across the North Island are working to put a spotlight on it. Fifteen operators have teamed up and signed a Memorandum of Understanding. It aims to generate interest from key tourism markets particularly Australia, North America, and China. Auckland Unlimited Destination Director Annie Dundas told Mike Hosking both islands have different offerings, so tourism shouldn't be merged as one. She says they're getting back to just being the North, and are acknowledging how well the South Island has done. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Logicalis, a global technology service provider, reveals new findings from its 2025 Global CIO Report. The research found that over half (51%) of CIOs think they still lack access to cybersecurity solutions that fully fit their business needs. The report - entitled 'Return on Innovation' and based on a survey of 1,000 CIOs across the globe, including Ireland - found that only 58% are fully confident in their ability to identify potential security gaps. A similar proportion (56%) say their security patch system is too complex to manage. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the overwhelming majority of organisations (96%) acknowledge the need for improvements in their security coverage, with 45% requiring significant upgrades. Whilst further improvements and investments are needed, half of respondents admitted that their company has over-invested in security solutions they do not need. Furthermore, 58% of CIOs believe their current security investments fully meet their organisation's needs. Worryingly, the research found that the frequency of cybersecurity attacks is on the rise as more than three quarters (78%) of organisations reported that the volume of cybersecurity breaches has either remained consistent or increased. Some 88% revealed that they had endured a cybersecurity incident in the last 12 months, with malware and ransomware attacks accounting for 42% of these breaches. Meanwhile, 43% of organisations have endured multiple breaches over the past year. Mairead Malone, Country Leader for Ireland, Logicalis UK&I, said: "Organisations face a concerning paradox in cybersecurity investment - they clearly need to invest but, more importantly, they need to identify solutions that adequatelymeet their needs and effectively protect their operations. "While it's clear that threats are mounting, questions are being raised about the effectiveness of security spending and implementation. The fact that the majority of organisations have recently experienced a cybersecurity incident, with some enduring multiple breaches, is alarming. The businesses which fail to address these issues will only leave themselves - and potentially their customers - vulnerable." To help customers in Ireland address such issues, Logicalis will be hosting a roundtable event at The Shelbourne in Dublin on 29th May 2025 to delve into the trends highlighted in the 2025 Global CIO Report.

CeADAR, Ireland's Centre for AI, will visit Kerry next month to host an information and networking event for companies and public sector organisations aiming to transform their operations with Artificial Intelligence. The technology hub is offering the free event as part of its EDIH for AI Programme, an initiative to provide data science expertise and resources to support start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, and public sector organisations, as they seek to digitalise their operations in pursuit of greater productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability. The event will take place at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, Co. Kerry, on Thursday, May 1, from 1pm until 2pm. Attendees will hear how organisations can access CeADAR's fully funded EDIH for AI services, including digital maturity assessments and advisory services, specialist training and upskilling, and prototype development and testing. Speakers will outline a range of case studies across sectors that illustrate outcomes from past collaborations, while the event will also provide an opportunity for attendees to meet with CeADAR's data science team to discuss their specific business needs and understand how AI can be used to respond to those challenges. The EDIH is a €700m European initiative comprising more than 150 tech hubs across 30 countries. CeADAR's selection as the EDIH for AI in Ireland came with an initial funding boost of €6 million over three years. The award is jointly supported by the EU and the Government of Ireland through Enterprise Ireland. CeADAR CEO John Lonsdale will be attending the event along with EDIH Programme Manager Laura Plunkett and other EDIH staff. EDIH Programme Manager Laura Plunkett says: "We're delighted to collaborate with the RDI Hub in Killorglin on this event, and look forward to hosting start-ups, SMEs and PSOs for an afternoon of information sharing and networking. Events such as this are vital to our mission, to empower Irish organisations to explore and experiment with AI and drive digital transformation in Ireland." CeADAR CEO John Lonsdale says: "EDIH for AI events such as this hosted at the RDI Hub on May 1 provide Irish enterprise and public sector workers with the information and contacts necessary to transform their operations. While innovations in technology are making domestic and international business more competitive than ever before, they also provide significant opportunities for start-ups and SMEs to scale quickly, and for public sector organisations to streamline their processes to maximise their efficiency. CeADAR is delighted to be playing a central role in this mission, and we look forward to hosting more EDIH for AI events in the future." RDI Hub CEO Liam Cronin says: "We are proud to welcome CeADAR to the RDI Hub on Thursday May 1 and we are looking forward to the insights and case studies on how AI can enhance performance, strategy, and engagement.

EHS International, a leading Irish provider of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) solutions, has partnered with EHA Soft Solutions to adopt its mai platform that helps organisations move all their health, safety, and compliance tasks online - making them faster, clearer, and easier to manage. Replacing outdated, manual tracking systems with real-time oversight and mobile-first workflows, EHA Soft's mai platform helps centralise, digitise, and automate key compliance processes - from contractor oversight to audits, risk assessments, incident management, training, and chemical safety. By digitising these functions, organisations can stay aligned with ISO and regulatory standards, reduce risk, and eliminate paperwork. Headquartered in Cork, with offices in Dublin, Belfast, and London, EHS International was founded by Chris Mee in 2023. The company supports clients across Ireland and the UK with a full spectrum of consultancy, training, and fire safety services. On the new partnership, Chris Mee, Founder and CEO of EHS International, said: "Organisations today face growing pressure to show strong governance and control over risk. Through this partnership, we're delivering a digital-first solution that pairs proven software with real-world safety expertise, giving clients the clarity, control, and confidence they need. And it's just the first of several innovations we'll unveil this year." Developed over 25 years in Cork by EHA Soft Solutions, the mai platform is already used by global leaders to streamline compliance and reduce risk - and now serves as the technology engine behind EHS International's new digital offering. Dr Dan Gallagher, Founder and Managing Director of EHA Soft Solutions, added: "We're proud to partner with EHS International to address today's most urgent EHS challenges. The mai platform guides users through every stage of compliance - from onboarding and document control to risk tracking and real-time dashboards. With tools like online inductions, electronic permits, mobile inspections, and performance reporting, our system helps clients build safer workplaces and reduce administrative burden across their teams and supply chains." This launch coincides with the World Day for Safety and Health at Work (28 April), which this year highlights the impact of digitalisation on occupational safety systems. EHS International's new partnership directly responds to this trend, offering a scalable, future-ready solution for industries ranging from life sciences and manufacturing to construction, energy, and the public sector.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine meets Areiel Wolanow, the managing director of Finserv Experts, who discusses his journey from IBM to founding FinServ Experts, emphasising the importance of focusing on business models enabled by technology rather than the technology itself. Areiel delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, responsible AI practices, and the implications of quantum computing for data security, highlighting the need for organisations to adapt their approaches to digital transformation, advocating for a migration strategy over traditional transformation methods KEY TAKEAWAYS Emerging tech should be leveraged to create new business models rather than just re-engineering existing ones. Understanding the business implications of technology is crucial for delivering value. When harnessing artificial intelligence, it's essential to identify the real underlying problems within an organisation, assess its maturity, and build self-awareness before applying maturity models and gap analyses. The EU AI Act serves as a comprehensive guideline for responsible AI use, offering risk categories and controls that can benefit companies outside the EU by providing a framework for ethical AI practices without the burden of compliance. Organisations should prepare for the future of quantum computing by ensuring their data is protected against potential vulnerabilities. This involves adopting quantum-resilient algorithms and planning for the transition well in advance. Leaders should place significant responsibility on younger team members who are more familiar with emerging technologies. Providing them with autonomy and support can lead to innovative solutions and successful business outcomes. BEST MOMENTS 'We focus not on the technology itself, but on the business models the tech enables.' 'The first thing you have to do... is to say, OK, is the proximate cause the real problem?' 'The best AI regulations out there is the EU AI Act... it actually benefits AI companies outside the EU more than it benefits within.' 'Digital transformations have two things in common. One is they're expensive, and two is they always fail.' ABOUT THE GUEST Areiel Wolanow is the managing director of Finserv Experts. He is an experienced business leader with over 25 years of experience in business transformation solutioning, sales, and execution.
