Can we build technology today to defend against the threats of tomorrow? This week, Technology Now concludes a double episode on post quantum cryptography and explores the subject of firmware, why it's imperative that it be protected against quantum attacks and why a simple update can't solve every problem. Nigel Edwards, Director of the Security Lab at HPE Labs, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Randy Silver and Lily Smith sit down with Katja Forbes, Executive Director at Standard Chartered Bank, design leader, and lecturer, to explore the fast-approaching world of machine customers.Katja shares why businesses must prepare for a future where AI agents, autonomous vehicles, and procurement bots act as customers, and what this means for product managers, designers, and organisations.Key takeawaysMachine customers are here already. From booking services for Tesla cars to procurement bots closing contracts, AI-driven commerce is no longer hypothetical.APIs are necessary but insufficient. Businesses need to think beyond plumbing and address trust, compliance, and customer experience for non-human agents.Signal clarity matters. Organisations must make their value propositions machine-readable to remain competitive.Trust will be quantified. Compliance signals, ESG proof, uptime guarantees, and reliability ratings will replace human gut instinct.New roles will emerge. Trust analysts and human–machine hybrid coordinators will be critical in shaping future interactions.Ethics cannot be ignored. Without careful design, agentic commerce could amplify consumerism and poor societal outcomes.Practical first step. Even small businesses can prepare by structuring their product and service data into machine-readable formats.Product managers must adapt. The skill to manage ambiguity, think systemically, and anticipate unintended consequences will be central to success.Featured Links: Follow Katja on LinkedIn | Katja's website | Sign-up for pre sale access to Katja's forthcoming book 'The CX Evolutionist'Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Kota Launches Instant Auto-Enrolment Pension Platform as 1 in 4 Employers Remain Unprepared

Kota, the Irish-founded employee benefits platform, has launched the country's first Instant Auto Enrolment Solution following its €12.6 million Series A investment in May. Their purpose-built solution gets Irish employers Auto Enrolment ready in just a few clicks. With 1 in 4 businesses unprepared and statutory contributions set to begin on 1 January 2026, employers have just five months to get ready. Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary is urging businesses to "act now", describing auto-enrolment as "the biggest transformation of pension policy in the history of the State." Kota's new offering enables HR and finance teams to implement a compliant occupational pension with Irish Life within minutes. Organisations can sync employee data, set minimum contributions, and have eligible hires automatically enrolled, while staff get an easy-to-use platform to view and manage their savings. "We've spent thousands of hours working alongside Irish employers as they prepare for the upcoming changes" said Trevor Gardiner (QFA,RPA), Head of Benefits at Kota. "Auto Enrolment has been a really positive catalyst, prompting Irish employers to talk seriously about retirement benefits. But from our conversations, it's clear the State scheme won't work for everyone. That's why we've built a solution for companies that want more control over employee experience, cost, and compliance, without the complexity." While a positive step in improving retirement readiness, The Government's 'My Future Fund' offers limited flexibility, increases administrative burdens on employers and includes strict limits that many companies and higher earning staff find unattractive, such as: No Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVCs) and savings locked up until the National Retirement Age of 66. Fixed contribution rates with no room for employer discretion. €80k salary cap on contributions, and reduced tax relief for those taxed at 40%. A Government managed portal that gives employers no control over their employees' experience. However, choosing an Occupational Pension instead of Auto Enrolment presents the challenge of ensuring the scheme is correctly set up to qualify for full exemption. Failure to do so can result in businesses running two pension schemes simultaneously, an outcome both the Government and major pension providers agree causes unnecessary complexity and administrative burden. Yet many employers are receiving limited clarity or practical guidance from their existing brokers, leaving them uncertain about the right course of action and often unaware of these nuances. Kota's purpose-built technology solves this by automatically enrolling employees onto the employers' occupational pension as soon as they're added to their HR System, eliminating the manual work and, thereby, the potential for errors and delays typically involved. Already trusted by Remote.com and hundreds of EU scale-ups including Tines, Protex AI, &Open and Car Wow, Kota delivers a future-ready, robust approach to workplace pensions. This includes: Seamless setup: Sync HRIS & payroll to launch an occupational pension with Irish Life in a few clicks. Always compliant: Synced employee data and eligibility rules ensuring everyone stays covered by the company's Occupational Scheme. Employee engagement & understanding: Consumer-grade app where employees can access, understand and make in-app changes to their savings for retirement. Regulated & secure: Kota holds a Central Bank of Ireland intermediary licence and integrates directly with Irish Life for real-time enrolments and accurate reporting. Proven at scale: Powers benefits for Remote.com and hundreds of EU scale ups. "Thousands of Irish employers are telling us that auto enrolment is a growing concern, with little guidance from traditional brokers," added Luke Mackey, Co Founder & CEO of Kota. "Our goal is to make compliance effortless in just a few clicks, while giving employees the transparent, mobile first experience they e...

Episode Summary: In this heartfelt conversation, Kristi McVee and Jeanie Dean discuss Jeanie's journey from being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse to becoming an advocate for child safeguarding. They explore the challenges of coping with trauma, the impact of addiction, and the importance of supportive relationships. Jeanie shares her experiences working with sex offenders and in child protection, emphasising the need to see the person behind the behaviour. The conversation also touches on parenting through trauma and the struggle to break cycles of abuse, ultimately highlighting the journey of self-discovery and healing. In this conversation, Jeanie and Kristi delve into the complexities of child protection, discussing systemic failures, personal trauma, and the importance of creating safe environments for children. They emphasise the role of organisations and parents in safeguarding children, the need for open communication, and the community's responsibility in ensuring child safety. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by professionals in the field and the necessity for proactive measures to protect vulnerable individuals. Key Takeaways: Jeanie is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and family violence. Coping mechanisms often lead to unhealthy behaviours, such as drug use. Arrest can serve as a turning point for change and self-reflection. Supportive relationships can be life-saving and transformative. Parenting through trauma requires awareness and intentionality to break cycles. Understanding child safeguarding is crucial for protecting vulnerable individuals. Working with sex offenders requires separating the person from their behaviour. Therapy and self-discovery are essential for healing from trauma. Labels like 'victim' can be triggering and limiting for survivors. Personal growth involves accepting oneself without needing a title. Systemic failures in child protection lead to repeated trauma. Personal experiences shape professional choices in child welfare. Creating child safe environments is essential for community organisations. Organisations must understand their legal duties regarding child safety. Parents should actively inquire about child safety policies in organisations. Older children face unique risks that require vigilant supervision. Open communication is crucial for safeguarding children. Community responsibility is vital in creating safe environments for kids. Education and awareness are key for parents in safeguarding their children. Child safety policies must be actively lived and enforced within organisations.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has collaborated with MIT Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) to launch a new research series to explore the next phase of human and AI collaboration in large enterprises. As enterprises the world over are proactively investing in deploying AI-led solutions to transform their business operations, this multi-sectoral study deeply examines the new paradigms that will redefine the use of AI in global enterprise environments. In a series of research articles covering Manufacturing, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, BFSI, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Energy, Resources and Utilities, and Communications, Media and Technology sectors, the study investigates how business leaders are deploying AI augmented solutions to gain a competitive edge from better decisions. The study on the theme of Human-Centric AI spans six key sectors and finds that generative and predictive AI can initiate a transformative change that drives competitive advantage. The year-long research that was conceptualised and executed jointly by MIT SMR and TCS drew insights experts and pioneers from organisations such as Walmart, Meta, MasterCard, and Pernod Ricard. The research identifies one critical shift: AI is moving from advisor to architect. In simple terms, AI's value shifts from improving business processes to improving the quality of options to facilitate better decision-making. Companies that master this transition are pulling ahead of those still trapped in traditional decision-making frameworks. TCS' industry expertise in strategising and supporting large global organisations in their AI-led digital transformation journeys using both generative and predictive AI along with the academic rigor of MIT SMR bring forth new and fresh thinking about using AI to augment and inform Human Intelligence. The collaborative research has revealed the emergence of intelligent choice architectures (ICAs) - a new paradigm where human-centric AI systems proactively participate in structuring and shaping strategic decisions by generating novel options, predicting outcomes, and guiding choices. Michael Schrage, Research fellow at MIT Sloan's Initiative on the Digital Economy and report coauthor, said, "ICAs flip the script. They do not just learn from decisions - they learn how to improve the environment in which decisions are made. That's not analytics, that's architecture." Ashok Krish, Head, AI Practice, TCS, said, "By augmenting human judgment with machine intelligence, ICAs shift AI from task automation to building superior decision environments for complex multi-factorial situations, enabling more trackable, traceable outcomes that ensure accountability. They help align talent development strategies with organisational goals, making it easier to identify and nurture high-potential employees in the AI-era. Ultimately, ICAs foster environments where human judgement and AI work together seamlessly to create connected organisation intelligence, where smarter and more informed decisions are made." Through this new study with MIT SMR, TCS extends its long-standing commitment to understand and uncover new trends in the industry and aid partners in integrating new technologies and frameworks. Over the years, TCS has collaborated with MIT SMR on industry research about direct-to-consumer enterprises, workforce empowerment, digital inclusion, retailing, and customer experience among others. Through its partnership with MIT SMR and 50 other academic institutions, TCS curates collective intelligence that enterprises can tap into. The sector-specific study provides compelling examples of ICAs in action to optimize choices, reallocate decision rights, and boost their bottom lines. Organisations using GenAI have helped achieve higher productivity and efficiency and cut costs while unlocking newer growth opportunities.

When we talk about people thriving at work, the conversation must go well beyond policies and perks. In this final episode of season 11, I'm wrapping up with my high-level reflections on what truly matters when it comes to leadership, management, and fostering a work culture where employees are not only high performing, but actually want to show up and contribute.From working with organisations of all sizes and across many industries, a pattern has emerged – five consistent challenges surface time and again: managing stress, masking in leadership, team performance, feedback, and navigating change. None are unique, but left unaddressed, they hold back even the most well-intentioned businesses.Here's my honest take: tackling stress is not about “surface fixes” but about looking at the whole system, listening, and acting. The organisations making a real difference are those creating space for genuine conversations about what's driving stress, and then actually planning to reduce it.Then there's masking in leadership. So many leaders share their hidden anxieties and pressures with me – but rarely with anyone else. Yet the moment leaders show some vulnerability, authenticity spreads. This isn't soft: it's the pathway to real collaboration and trust.Team performance? It starts with unpicking day-to-day behaviours, getting clear on shared values, and involving your people in defining what excellence really looks like. Simple, practical activities lead to immediate improvements because it's meaningful - it avoids box-ticking.Feedback remains a sticking point for most – too often avoided, occasionally brutal, seldom continuous. Building a “feedback culture” isn't about frameworks alone, but about making space for honest, regular dialogue all through the business.And finally, change. Successful organisations realise that the human side of change is not a nice-to-have, but the glue holding everything together. Trust, psychological safety, and regular communication build resilience throughout.As ever, my passion is about putting the human factor first so that people, and therefore organisations, can truly excel.

Lucinda discusses the importance of cultivating a learning culture within organisations, emphasising that learning should be embedded in every aspect of organisational life rather than limited to traditional training courses. Drawing on insights from industry experts, the episode explores the concept of psychological safety and its role in fostering an environment where employees feel safe to ask questions, admit mistakes, and challenge the status quo. KEY TAKEAWAYS A learning culture is defined as one where learning is embedded in every aspect of organisational life, moving beyond traditional training courses to create an environment that encourages continuous development and innovation. Creating a psychologically safe environment is crucial for fostering a learning culture. Employees should feel safe to ask questions, admit mistakes, and challenge ideas without fear of embarrassment or punishment. The framework of Environment, Permission, and Culture (EPC) is essential for establishing a learning culture. Organisations need to create the right environment, give employees permission to learn, and cultivate a culture that values learning at all levels. Learning and development initiatives should align with the organisation's strategic goals to ensure that learning is purposeful and contributes to overall business success. This alignment helps justify investment in learning programs. BEST MOMENTS "Having opportunities to learn and grow is one of those key questions when you look at employee engagement." "We need to create this environment where it's okay for people to speak up, to ask questions, to admit mistakes, or admit they don't know the answer without the fear of embarrassment or punishment." "A high-performing learning culture doesn't come from one-off training, sticking plasters, and it doesn't come from ticking boxes." "If you look at where your strategic challenges are for the business, make sure that the L&D is aligned to that."

He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge as a Gates Scholar and has a background working as a researcher, consultant, and entrepreneur, finding innovative solutions for a more inclusive world. His research covers the mechanics of entrepreneurship through a 'systems lens' and with a special focus on large-scale socioenvironmental issues (poverty, climate change, and global value chains etc). He has a particular interest in working with practitioners to find and explore solutions for systemic problems in situations where resources are scarce, stakes are high, and time is short.In this episode, Dominic learns how “scrappy organisations” tackle complex problems through innovative strategies such as piggybacking on existing systems and navigating loopholes in regulations. With Paulo explaining the importance of systems thinking and unconventional approaches to problem-solving. Hear about how businesses can navigate regulatory landscapes, repurpose technology, and leverage self-reinforcing behaviours to create effective workarounds. Paulo advocates innovation, resourcefulness, and adopting a scrappy mindset in addressing complex problems for individuals and organisations.DiscoverResourceful and Unconventional Problem-Solving: Creative solutions can be achieved by thinking outside the box and using limited resources in innovative ways to overcome complex challenges. Hacking Systems for Impact: Significant change can occur by finding innovative ways to navigate or bypass existing systems and challenges, much like hackers do in their domains. Holistic Solutions through Systems Thinking: Looking at problems as part of interconnected systems rather than isolated issues enables more comprehensive and effective problem-solving. Inspiration from Scrappy Organisations: Resource-constrained businesses and organisations demonstrate how leveraging opportunities like loopholes and existing systems can lead to remarkable success. Innovation Without Large Budgets: Success can lie in strategic thinking, resourcefulness, and ingenuity, proving that high impact doesn't always require massive financial resources.Book recommendations:Hans Rosling - FactfulnessAdam Grant - OriginalsPaulo's book The Four Workarounds is out nowDominic's book Mind Your F**king Business is out now

Enterprises face one common problem: the hidden costs of AI-based technical debt.“There's a lot of hype around AI, but many initiatives aren't founded in a business value proposition,” says Paul Brownell, CTO, Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP). “People wander in without an intentional path for ROI.” In this episode of the Don't Panic, It's Just Data podcast, host Douglas Laney, BARC Research and Advisory Fellow, and author of Infonomics and Data Juice, speaks with Paul Brownell from GAP and Frank Lavigne, Advisory Board Member of CloudArmy.The speakers ultimately agree that AI promises greater returns on investment (ROI). However, it's imperative to note – without a strong data foundation and strategy, AI can quickly turn into a financial nightmare.AI's Potential to Cause Technical Debt Alluding to a significant “leak in the bucket” for AI initiatives, Brownell says, "a lot of these projects aren't founded in a business value proposition." This can often lead to organisations "wandering in without an intentional path." Both Brownell and Lavigne agreed that the most overlooked and costly area is data engineering. Lavigne exemplified this by referring to a meme depicting a sleek F-35 jet labelled "your AI" flying above a pockmarked, potholed road labelled "your data infrastructure.""I think that pretty much says it all," Lavigne stated, highlighting the critical and often unglamorous role of data engineering. Brownell resonated with this, calling it "mundane, routine, detail, hard pick and shovel work."Without mighty data quality, data governance, and traceability, AI projects are built on unsteady ground. Such AI initiatives occasionally result in inaccuracies and create a lack of trust.Scientific Path to AI Initiatives in DataBrownell advocated for a scientific approach to AI initiatives to overcome the hidden costs and maximise ROI. He said, "Come up with a hypothesis around where the business value is going to be, then apply some prototyping. Do real-life experiments to prove out your theory." Such an approach allows organisations to adjust course quickly. "The larger the ship, the harder it is to turn. So if you have these smaller kinds of proofs of concept, you can kind of find out in smaller increments how far we're off course,” explained Lavigne. This lowers risk and paves the way for more experimentation.TakeawaysAI investments can create hidden financial burdens.Data readiness is crucial for successful AI initiatives.A hypothesis-driven approach can guide AI projects.Iterative experimentation leads to better outcomes.Data engineering is essential but often overlooked.Generative AI can assist in data pipeline management.Selecting AI tools requires flexibility and speed.Purpose-built AI models may outperform generative models.Organisations must foster a culture of continuous learning.Understanding the total cost of ownership for AI is vital.Chapters00:00 Uncovering AI Technical Debt04:56 Data Readiness for AI Initiatives09:55 Selecting the Right AI Tools13:06 Generative AI vs Predictive AI18:14 The Future of AI Development

Today's episode will focus on the challenges of the cyber landscape in the United States, as Steve sits down with Yolanda Williams, who is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's cyber security coordinator in the state of Florida. Steve and Yolanda dive deep into her work communicating cyber in a region where it for many isn't top-of-mind and how state sovereignty and lack of standardisation between local stakeholders poses unique challenges. We hope that Yolanda's many examples of successfully working with Floridians and stakeholders across the state will resonate with listeners across the US—and perhaps across the pond, too. Key Takeaways: Cyber leaders must possess the ability to shape their communication based on what the audience is looking for. Organisations are much more open to cyber advice today than they were five years ago.  Look at the language in your contracts! Mistakes can prove costly from both a financial perspective and a cyber perspective. Tune in to hear more about: How cyber connects to physical security (3:25) The challenges of a lack of standardised guidelines or federal regulation (10:23) The importance of keeping local backups and not only use the cloud (18:24) Standout Quotes: “I hear a lot of people say, ‘dumb it down.' But you don't want to dumb it down. You just want to make sure that you're tailoring it specifically. You may have technical folks who are looking for, okay, what was the ransomware? Who did it? Who deployed it? How was it deployed? What was the payload? All those types of things. And they want to get into the deep dive of it. A lot of individuals don't. I'll speak to healthcare individuals and they're more looking at ‘I'm not a target. I'm a small doctor's office. I'm not a target.' And one of the things we try to get across to everyone is: you are definitely a target. If you have a US IP address, you are a target.” - Yolanda Williams “There are federal guidelines for federal agencies. However, we respect our states and their sovereignty, and one of the things I found in Florida definitely was a lack of collaboration. Even from the city to the county, there's nothing structured across the board.” - Yolanda Williams “One of the steps that I recommend across the board for anyone that I'm talking to is looking at the language in your contracts, making sure that language is covering, not just what you're purchasing.[…] So making sure that you're looking at that contract language and have somebody that's looking at it that understands the lexicon, understands what is required. You can't just hire somebody off the street and say, ‘Oh yeah, write this contract,' and they don't know what should be in the contract.” - Yolanda Williams Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

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.

3276: How AWS is Building the Infrastructure for AI at Scale

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?
