I was so thrilled to sit down again with my dear friends and true allies, Dave Smith and Brad Johnson . Every time we connect, it feels like a warm reminder of what sustained, meaningful allyship really looks like—not just showing up when it's trending, but doing the steady, daily work that actually moves the needle.  Listening to them walk through their allyship trilogy, from Athena Rising to The Good Guys and now their latest book, Fair Share, brought back so many memories of my own journey navigating corporate America as a new mom. (Trust me, I've shed my fair share of tears over spilled milk in a workplace closet!) What I love most about Brad and Dave is how they balance deep research with practical, real-world solutions that lift everyone up. They remind us that creating gender fairness isn't just about asking individual allies to do more. It's about fixing the broken systems so doing the right thing becomes the default. Key Themes Caregiving Skills Build Better Workplace Leaders Active caregiving and fatherhood develop crucial human skills like empathy and emotional intelligence, which directly transfer into effective leadership at work. "Dad's brains begin to shift and change, too. We're developing these skills around empathy that translates right back into the workplace when we go back to work." — David Smith Moving from Individual Allyship to Systemic Change Relying solely on individual (s)heroics isn't enough to achieve true equity. Organizations must embed allyship and gender fairness directly into company policies, metrics, and manager training. "All of these ally efforts are gonna be sort of one by one by one forever. Until the workplace changes, you see all the estimates that we have about a century to go to get to real gender parity." — Brad Johnson Supporting Paid Leave and Caregiving Transitions Creating a culture that normalizes and actively plans for parental and caregiving leave for both mothers and fathers improves employee retention and strengthens managerial capabilities. "Think about the work that's gotta be done when he or she leaves the workforce for this paid leave period, the transition back into the workforce with a plan. The minute you can do that, you're making better managers." — David Smith Unlocking Hidden Talent Through Returnships Organizations facing talent shortages can tap into a massive, highly qualified pool of candidates by creating clear pathways for individuals returning to the workforce after extended caregiving breaks. "Organizations aren't looking at those women, and they're forgetting that. Half the people at the top of the curve on IQ, EQ, creativity, they're out there if you would only create a glide path to return to your organization." — Brad Johnson Actionable Takeaway for Listeners Audit and support your managerial capabilities: To move from individual efforts to systemic fairness, organizations must carefully select managers based on competencies and actively train them to execute flexible work policies, support parental leave transitions, and lead inclusively.

The AP's Marcela Sanchez reports an AI company says its models hacked into three organizations.

By Doug Green “Under pressure, communications become a lot more predictable.” What can the language used by World Cup coaches teach businesses about artificial intelligence, customer engagement and human behavior? In this Technology Reseller News and Cloud Communications Alliance podcast, Sophie Cheng, Chief Marketing Officer at Sinch, discusses the company's xC — Expected Cliché — Tracker and what it revealed about how leaders communicate when the stakes rise. Sinch analyzed coaches' press conferences across six languages, comparing their comments against a dictionary of 205 familiar soccer expressions. AI identified recurring patterns, while Sinch's editorial teams reviewed the results to account for cultural context, nuance and meaning. The findings showed a clear shift as tournament pressure increased. Sinch found 50% more clichés after the group stage, with coaches moving away from tactical explanations and toward familiar expressions involving “heart,” “belief” and “togetherness.” References to mentality, spirit and courage rose from 8% of clichés during the group stage to 24% during the Round of 16. “When you're in a very high-stakes environment, people are watching your every word,” Cheng says. “It becomes easier and more familiar to refer back to clichés or standard terminology that we're all used to.” Those phrases may sound repetitive, but they can also give leaders a safe and recognizable way to communicate during emotional or uncertain moments. The broader lesson extends well beyond sports. Organizations generate enormous volumes of conversational data through contact centers, email, messaging and voice interactions. AI-powered language analysis can help identify changing sentiment, recurring concerns and communication patterns that might otherwise be missed. For service providers, partners and enterprises, the opportunity is to combine the speed of AI with human context and judgment. Listen to the podcast to learn how Sinch used AI, multilingual analysis and human oversight to examine World Cup communication—and what the project reveals about communicating under pressure.

By Doug Green “The AI can only do so much.” Organizations are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, CRM automation, call recording, transcription and customer-experience analytics. But according to Mike Wehrs, Chief Operating Officer at TieTechnology, many are overlooking the first and most important link in that technology chain: the device capturing the conversation. In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Wehrs explains that AI cannot overcome poor information at the source. “If you don't get those underlying data sets cleaned up, the AI can only do so much,” Wehrs says. “It can't make up information. If it does, we call that hallucination—and generally, that's not a good thing.” TieTechnology provides business-grade VoIP and communications services, but its role extends beyond simply connecting or recording calls. The company can process conversations, transcribe them, analyze sentiment, summarize the interaction and place the resulting information into a customer's CRM platform. That makes the quality of the original audio increasingly important. A conversation is no longer something that is simply heard by two people. It can become searchable business data used for customer records, sales intelligence, compliance, employee coaching and AI-driven decision-making. Yet the headset or microphone capturing that conversation may receive very little consideration. “The people who do that are the same people who are ordering your coffee,” Wehrs says, describing how headsets are frequently selected without input from IT teams, speech-recognition specialists or the people responsible for AI and analytics. A low-quality headset may still allow two people to understand one another. That does not mean the recording is suitable for transcription, sentiment analysis or business-intelligence applications. “If you're looking to make it searchable in a database and be able to run BI reports on it, that is nowhere close to the bar,” Wehrs says. The challenge becomes even greater in modern offices where organizations are using multiple wireless devices, Bluetooth headsets and Wi-Fi networks. What appears to be a phone-system, application or network problem may actually be interference or an unsuitable endpoint. TieTechnology helps businesses evaluate the complete communications environment, including employee roles, mobility requirements, workplace conditions and the applications that will rely on the captured voice data. The objective is not necessarily to purchase the most expensive device. It is to select technology that is fit for its intended purpose. “If the garbage that I get on the inbound, no matter how much I process it, I can't make it less than garbage on the way out,” Wehrs says. For businesses hoping to gain more value from AI, the lesson is straightforward: better results begin with better inputs. “Improve the headsets that you've got that you're letting your reps talk on,” Wehrs says. Listen to the podcast to learn why microphones and headsets should be viewed not simply as communications endpoints, but as data-acquisition tools at the foundation of the AI technology stack.

-Three different Claude models were involved in the incidents: Opus 4.7, the cybersecurity-focused Mythos 5 and a prototype that's not planned for general release. They were all doing a capture-the-flag challenge when they broke free. -"People don't want a summary of Reddit; they want Reddit," said Reddit CEO Steve Huffman -Friend, the startup and AI pendant better known for its controversial ad campaign than being a usable product, is back.

discover the key characteristics of high performing teams and what makes high performing teams succeed. Chris Hallberg, a U.S. Army veteran and leadership development expert, explains how military leadeship, team management, and the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) drive stronger business execution. Learn practical approaches to organizational culture, hiring strategies, talent curation, personnel management, and employee retention. This episode covers performance metrics, accountability standards, middle management alignment, command and control principles, veteran hiring, leadership training, management systems, business growth, workplace efficiency, corporate leadership, professional development, organizational design, business coaching, management styles, employee engagement, leadership principles, staffing solutions, and operational excellence. In this episode: Attributes of high performing teams and how to build high performing teams How military leadership translates into civilian business success Leading by example and the impact of frontline engagement on employee engagement Aligning middle management for better communication and business execution Culture curation and hiring for core wiring Tools for measuring performance and building elite teams Technology and visualization tools that improve team performance Navigating workforce commitment challenges Rigorous recruitment, staffing solutions, and firing fast to protect team excellence Leveraging veteran skills and military discipline in civilian organizations How high performing teams build trust and a practical high performing teams model Leadership and Execution Effective leadership requires moving beyond theory to consistent operational execution. Most businesses fail in the gap between strategy and daily implementation. Leaders must stay present, model the work ethic they expect, and demonstrate willingness to handle humble tasks. This sets a tone of mutual respect that becomes one of the core characteristics of high performing teams. Bridging the Management Gap A common problem is the disconnect between senior leadership and middle management. When executives announce changes without first aligning their managers, they weaken frontline authority and damage trust. Organizations perform best when they operate as one connected unit. Fully informing and empowering middle managers before initiatives launch prevents an “us vs. them” culture and supports the accountability standards that high performing teams need. Curating Elite Teams Talent acquisition works best as a deliberate curation process rather than a standard HR function. Most adults are already formed in character, so trying to fix uncommitted employees rarely succeeds. Focus instead on identifying people whose values and natural wiring match the team. This hiring approach prioritizes mission commitment over raw talent and strengthens long-term employee retention and organizational culture. Measurable Accountability Objective performance metrics and transparent scorecards remove guesswork. When results are visible, many team members self-correct without constant intervention. This method, drawn from military precision and systems like EOS, helps leaders quickly spot people in the wrong roles. It forms a practical high performing teams model that improves workplace efficiency and operational excellence while supporting sustained business growth.   Connect Chris Hallberg: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-hallberg-01516315/?skipRedirect=true Website: https://bizsgt.com/   Connect With Tim Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating TikTok: @timstatingtheobvious LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-staton-04b41a271/ SKOOL Community: https://www.skool.com/timstatingtheobvious-9537/about?ref=de9c7e65d8ba4eeabc1a8eea413c125b Substack: https://realtimstatingtheobvious.substack.com

As I have been working on my book “The UN-WOW,” I've been talking to a lot of people in experience design and experience management about whether or not my idea for the book makes sense. Two things have emerged from these conversations. First, people generally are very supportive of the principles behind The UN-WOW. It seems that people see a lot of opportunity in exploring more mundane aspects of everyday life for design opportunities. It has been great to hear that vote of confidence as I work on the project, and people being excited to hear more about it as it is coming together. The second thing to emerge is that on a certain level, none of this experience design work should be that hard because our goals are pretty simple. At its foundation, we ideally are trying to make life better for our design audiences. Whether it is user, customer, patient, employee, student, client, or any other experience design space, we want to improve the experiences that people have (regardless of whether these experiences are mundane or metamorphic).  How we create these experiences, and the scale that it is done, becomes the work of the designers. What should be easy becomes more challenging when other organizational priorities take over. Organizations can become fixated on outcomes that run counter to the goals of experience designers. Caring about customers, employees, users, and others can be seen as a luxury when the only focus is profitability. Thus, many experience designers feel frustrated when trying to do their work, running into barriers that either minimize the scope of their work, or completely block it from happening. Leaders may want to talk about being human-centered, but don't necessarily see the need to treat people like human beings. To talk about the challenges and opportunities, I welcome Tamar Cohen to the Experience by Design studios. Like many people in experience design, Tamar had a very non-linear path to her work. Starting out as an Art History major, she worked in galleries and auction houses. She found herself at Citibank for 16 years, applying the skills she acquired from art history to her work in customer experience. She also shares her work leading other companies like Zoetis as the Head of Global Customer Experience Strategy and at Travelers as VP of Employee Experience. We talk about the importance of connecting employee experience and customer experience, making your employees your first customers. We also talk about the importance of ethnographic research to understand the full employee and customer journeys.   We also discuss her new project with Michael Lowenstein as well as work with James Killian (both former guests on ExD). She describes what she calls the Halo Effect, which includes conducting qualitative research based on the Four E's Framework: educate, empower, engage, and energize. Her company HaloEffect works by diagnosing the human system first, working with organizations and leadership to put people first. Again, a simple idea that companies struggle executing, which Tamar tries to help them accomplish. It was a great conversation about the importance of employee experience (especially in relation to customer experience), how to lead with a people-first strategy, and how even a degree in Art History can lay the foundation for better experience designs.  Tamar Cohen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamarcohen HaloEffect: https://www.myhaloeffect.com/

Technology has made remote hiring easier and distributed work more common. It's also created new opportunities for fraud and misrepresentation. In some cases, organizations are discovering the person performing the work isn't necessarily the person they hired.

Organizations are investing heavily in AI, but many still struggle with a basic question: can they trust the data feeding those systems? New research suggests governance, recordkeeping and information management may be lagging behind AI adoption. We'll explore what that means for federal managers with Robert Cruz, vice president for regulatory and information governance at Smarsh.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Where is the Federal funding for social service organizations like Ark Aid and 519 Pursuit? London Deputy Mayor Shawn Lewis joined Mike Stubbs to reveal what he is seeing in a concerning situation.

What must happen before a business can trust AI agents to detect and resolve operational problems without waiting for human intervention? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Josh Clay, Regional Vice President of Solution Engineering for Dynatrace in the UK, about autonomous operations, AI observability, fragmented telemetry, business outcomes, and the growing pressure to control token and data costs. Josh has spent much of his 11 years at Dynatrace discussing the road toward autonomous operations. The earliest version involved reducing the time organizations spent inside IT war rooms. He remembers calls with 30 or 40 people attempting to establish which team was responsible for an incident. He jokingly calls this the "mean time to innocence." Modern observability reduced many of those investigations from several hours to between 30 and 60 minutes. Agentic AI creates the possibility of going further by identifying a problem, understanding its cause, and resolving it before the customer experience is affected. That ambition also introduces risk. Josh cites Dynatrace research showing that 52% of respondents view security, privacy, and compliance concerns as barriers to AI adoption. He believes many organizations still lack full observability across their existing technology environments, making autonomous agents harder to supervise. Josh shares a warning from Alex Hibbert of Storia Group: AI can amplify existing technology problems. If telemetry is fragmented, data quality is poor, or teams cannot see how services depend on one another, adding autonomous agents may increase the speed and scale of the resulting failure. Trust therefore depends on visibility. Josh describes observability as a control plane for agentic AI because it can show what an agent is doing, why it made a decision, and what happened afterward. Defined guardrails and real time information can give leaders confidence without asking them to surrender control blindly. The adoption figures show how early this work remains. Josh says 50% of businesses have AI operating in limited production use cases, often performing one isolated task. Only 23% describe their deployments as connected across the wider organization. We discuss how observability has progressed beyond technical monitoring. An airport can measure whether technology changes improve e-gate availability and passenger processing times. A bank can examine whether application performance affects mortgage completion rates. These connections allow leaders to measure AI through business results rather than relying entirely on response times and infrastructure metrics. Reliable agents also need suitable data. Dynatrace says AI agents operating with deterministic data can work 12 times more accurately and three times faster while using two and a half times fewer tokens. These remain company findings, but they demonstrate why context and causality can affect cost as well as reliability. Fragmented telemetry creates another barrier. Logs may sit in one platform, front end monitoring in another, and metrics or traces somewhere else. Attempting to reconstruct every relationship for an AI agent can become expensive and difficult. Josh recommends bringing observability data into a connected environment where relationships between services, cloud resources, traces, metrics, and logs are already understood. He also warns against collecting information simply because it exists. Data hoarding increases ingestion costs and can introduce personal information into systems without a clear business need. The conversation then moves toward AI FinOps. Leaders want to know what agents cost, how many tokens they consume, and whether those costs produce a measurable return. Josh describes a Dynatrace proof of concept that identified potential annual savings just below £250,000 within one small environment. That example reinforces a recurring concern. Organizations are racing to place AI into production, then moving to the next project without reviewing whether the previous environment is appropriately sized or financially efficient. Josh hopes companies will develop a more pragmatic view of AI as another enterprise tool. That means establishing agreed methods for deployment, monitoring, cost management, incident response, and measuring business results. Could observability provide the confidence businesses need to move from isolated AI experiments toward autonomous operations? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... "Run It Like A Business" There is a quiet belief inside a lot of nonprofits that running things like a business would somehow cheapen the mission. That budgets, product thinking, and direct asks belong to the for-profit world, and that the nonprofit world runs on something purer. Heart. Passion. Care. The care is real. The problem is that heart gets asked to do a job it was never built to do. When there is no clear product, no business-grade financial forecasting, and no habit of quantifying value in dollars, people compensate with effort. They work harder. They care louder. And the organization still stalls. Running a nonprofit like a business is not the thing that threatens your mission. Avoiding it is. A version of this tension shows up almost every time I talk with a founder who built something meaningful and then hit a ceiling they cannot explain. I had a conversation recently with Barb Clapp, who built a workforce development organization from nothing into one that has trained thousands of people, and it sharpened how I think about this. The idea was not new to me. What she did was name exactly why the business lens holds up, and why the absence of it quietly breaks things. Mission Is What You Do. Method Is How You Do It. One of the most expensive confusions in the nonprofit world is treating the mission and the method as the same thing. Your mission is fixed. It is the reason you exist. Your method is everything else. How you deliver, how you fund it, how you structure the team, how you ask. The method is allowed to change. In fact it has to, or the mission gets stuck inside an approach that stopped working. I am a sailor, so forgive me, my sailing references tend to pop up. An America's Cup boat can sail several times faster than the wind pushing it. The wind does not change. The boat design does. Your mission is the wind. Your method is the boat. When leaders feel stalled, they almost always reach to protect the mission by clinging harder to the method. That gets it backwards. You honor the mission by being willing to rebuild the boat. The business lens is a method decision. It changes nothing about who you serve. It changes how much of them you can actually reach. You Have a Product, Whether You Name It or Not Here is where most organizations lose the thread before they even start. Barb said something in our conversation that I have not stopped thinking about: "People do not understand what their product is. They don't have a clear picture of what it is they're doing, why it makes a difference, and how they're going to tell a story."   What I appreciate about this framing is that it explains the mechanism. Every organization has a product and a buyer, even when it refuses to use those words. Your product is the specific change you create. Your buyer is the funder or donor who pays for that change to happen. When you cannot say clearly what your product is, everything downstream gets harder. Your messaging blurs. Your fundraising softens. Your team cannot rally around a result they cannot name. More detail does not equal more clarity here. Organizations often try to fix a fuzzy product by adding more program descriptions, more impact language, more mission poetry. That adds volume, not clarity. The fix is narrower. What is the one thing you produce, why does it matter, and who benefits enough to pay for it. Answer that and the rest of the machine has something to organize around. If you have never separated your product from your good intentions, that is worth doing before you touch anything else. I wrote more about the marketing side of this in what marketing really is and where it fits into your nonprofit. Business Values Do Not Replace Heart. They Protect It. The fear is that a business lens will crowd out the reason people came to the work. It does the opposite when it is done well. Barb put it plainly. She brought real business-based values into her nonprofit in addition to the heart-based ones. Budgets that get made and then actually followed. A strategic plan. Clear annual goals that everyone in the organization understands. Real job descriptions. None of that dilutes the caring. It gives the caring somewhere to land. At the end of the day, an organization without a real strategy cannot protect its mission for very long. A strategy is what tells you which opportunities to say yes to and which to let pass, which programs to double down on and which to sunset, where the next dollar should go and where it should not. Without one, every decision gets made in the moment, and moments add up to drift. Mission and money are not in conflict. They are mutually dependent. The money is what lets the mission keep showing up next year, and the year after that. Leaders who run everything from a heart place alone often feel like they are being noble. What they are actually doing is putting the mission at risk, because a mission with no financial floor under it is one bad quarter away from disappearing. This is one of the six things nonprofits can learn from the for-profit world, and it is the one that changes the most when a leader finally lets it in. Growth With Heart Alone Has a Ceiling You can grow a nonprofit on heart alone. You just cannot scale it that way. Growth is doing more. Scale is doing more per dollar, per person, per hour. Scale is what happens when you apply efficiency and leverage to the work, so that each resource produces a larger result than it did before. Heart gets you off the ground. It does not get you altitude. At some point, the leader who is running on care alone hits a wall, and because they care so much, the wall is deeply frustrating. Barb's organization scaled because she thought in terms of leverage from the start. She repurposed existing structures instead of rebuilding from scratch. She built revenue that funds the mission instead of chasing every dollar cold. She hired people who could own outcomes. Every one of those is a leverage decision, and leverage is a business concept that nonprofits need more than almost anyone, because the work matters more than almost anything. If you are feeling stalled right now, working harder is rarely the way out. Working differently is. That difference usually lives in structure, and structure is fixable. I made the fuller case for that in structure holds vision, the leadership system CEOs need. What Changes When You Let the Business Lens In When a leader finally stops treating business thinking as the enemy of the mission, the whole organization gets lighter. The product gets clear, so the story tells itself. The budget holds, so the panic drains out of every funding cycle. The asks get sized correctly, so the money starts matching the need. The team fits the phase you are actually in, so the turnover stops. None of this makes the work smaller. It makes the work hold. The heart is still the whole point. It finally has a structure strong enough to carry it. This isn't about caring less. It's about building something that can carry how much you care. Nonprofits can name their product. They can keep a budget. They can make the ask.   Not by trading away the mission, but by giving it a business strong enough to keep it alive.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of the Two Piers Podcast, Erica D'Eramo is joined by Andrea D. Carter, founder of Belonging First and a globally recognized expert in neuroscience-based belonging in the workplace.Andrea helps clarify what organizations often mean, and sometimes miss, when they talk about belonging. Rather than treating belonging as a vague culture concept or a checklist of initiatives, Andrea explains how it can be measured and strengthened through five indicators: comfort, connection, contribution, psychological safety, and well-being.Erica and Andrea discuss why belonging matters for trust, motivation, retention, performance, and sustainable ways of working. They also explore common organizational pitfalls, including checkbox belonging, over-reliance on individual resilience solutions, and change efforts that are done to employees rather than with them.In This EpisodeErica and Andrea discuss:What workplace belonging really meansWhy psychological safety is only one part of belongingThe five indicators of belonging: comfort, connection, contribution, psychological safety, and well-beingHow belonging connects to organizational performance and retentionWhy clarity is especially important during onboarding, team changes, and reorganizationsThe “100% responsibility trap” and why belonging requires shared accountabilityWhy resilience tools cannot fix systems that are burning people outHow checkbox belonging can leave daily behaviors unchangedAccessibility, disability, and designing work environments with people in mind from the startWhy AI implementation and other change efforts need co-creation, not just rolloutKey TakeawayBelonging is not something employees should have to earn by decoding the culture, fitting in, or navigating unwritten rules on their own.Organizations can build belonging more intentionally by looking at the systems, expectations, relationships, leadership behaviors, and workload norms that shape how people experience work every day.About Andrea D.

What would happen if your Risk Management File disappeared tomorrow?Would your medical device suddenly become less safe?For many organizations, the answer is probably no—because the file was created to document decisions after they were made, rather than guiding those decisions in the first place.In this episode of the Medical Device Made Easy Podcast, we challenge the traditional view of risk management and explore why ISO 14971 should be treated as a continuous decision-making framework—not simply a regulatory requirement.What You'll LearnIs Your Risk Management File Driving Design?Risk management should begin at the earliest stages of product development.Instead of documenting completed work, it should actively influence design choices, identify hazards, evaluate risks, and verify that risk control measures are effective throughout development.Common Signs Your Risk File Is Becoming FictionMany organizations unintentionally weaken their risk management process by:Reusing generic hazard lists from previous projectsCompleting risk documentation just before certificationFailing to connect hazards with design decisionsTreating the Risk Management File as a static document instead of a living processRisk Management Is a Cross-Functional ResponsibilityEffective risk management isn't owned solely by Quality or Regulatory Affairs.Engineering, Clinical Affairs, Manufacturing, Service, Post-Market Surveillance, and Customer Support all generate valuable information that should continuously improve the organization's understanding of product risk.Why Traceability MattersStrong traceability allows organizations to answer critical questions:Why was this hazard identified?Which design decision addressed it?How was the risk control verified?Does new PMS or complaint data change our understanding of the risk?Would we make the same decision today?When these connections are visible, risk management becomes a practical engineering tool rather than a compliance exercise.Keeping Your Risk Management File AliveCertification is not the end of risk management.Complaints, vigilance reports, supplier changes, software updates, PMCF findings, literature reviews, and post-market surveillance all provide new information that should feed back into your risk assessment.Organizations that continuously update their Risk Management File are better equipped to identify emerging risks, improve product safety, and support long-term regulatory compliance.Key TakeawayA Risk Management File should never exist simply to satisfy auditors or Notified Bodies.Its real purpose is to demonstrate how risk-based thinking influences every important design decision throughout the product lifecycle.The strongest organizations don't maintain a perfect document.They maintain a living risk management process—one that evolves as new knowledge is gained and continuously helps make medical devices safer for patients.Social Media to followMonir El Azzouzi Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/melazzouziTwitter: https://twitter.com/elazzouzimPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/easymedicaldeviceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/easymedicaldeviceThis podcast is hosted by Podcastics, the easiest platform to create and publish your podcast.

Molly Fast is back. The most-listened-to guest in Real Talk history returns with a new vantage point and a lot more to say. After more than two decades running one of the most successful peer-to-peer programs in North America, Molly has shifted into building something new within the same company she's called home. This shift has given her a front-row seat to a problem she's increasingly convinced is at the root of why so many events underperform: Organizations have perfected the tools but they've completely skipped the teaching. In this episode, she and Amy go deep on what it actually takes to turn participants into fundraisers, why going back to basics might be the most radical thing you can do right now, and what peer-to-peer does that no other fundraising vehicle can replicate. This episode is packed with gold.Key Components:What Molly's career shift — from running the same national program for 22 years to building a new consulting arm — is teaching her about the state of peer-to-peer fundraising right nowThe tools vs. teaching gap: why a fundraising page, sample emails, and social graphics are not a fundraising program The formula that hasn't changed in 25 years: meaningful goal, specific ask, personal story. It still works regardless of how much someone wants to raiseWhy peer-to-peer events have always been community-building tools long before community became a buzzword"It's not asking for money, it's inviting someone to just support something that matters to you."Connect with Molly on LinkedInCheck out Event 360

In this Risk Capital Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders discuss why supply chain risk has become a critical leadership priority as geopolitical uncertainty, changing trade relationships and interconnected supplier networks reshape the global business landscape. The conversation examines how disruptions can emerge well beyond direct suppliers to impact revenue, operations and reputation. Aon experts explore how organizations can use data, analytics and deeper scrutiny to make more informed decisions, strengthen confidence in their risk strategies and identify opportunities to stay ahead of emerging threats. They also discuss the evolving role of insurers and capital providers and how innovation in risk capital is helping organizations better understand exposures, unlock capacity and support growth. Key Takeaways:       Supply chain risk has become a leadership issue, requiring organizations to address dependencies that can directly influence growth, customer outcomes and financial performance. Organizations that combine greater supplier visibility with advanced analytics are better positioned to anticipate disruption and stay ahead of emerging risks. Collaboration among businesses, insurers and capital providers is creating new opportunities to support long-term growth. Experts in this episode:     Bianca McKenzie, Global Strategy and Execution Leader, Aon Lee Meyrick, Chair, Risk Capital, Transportation and Logistics, Aon Richard Waterer, Global Risk Consulting Leader, Commercial Risk, Aon Key Moments:       (2:00) Why geopolitical developments, trade dynamics and supplier interdependencies are creating new leadership challenges across global supply chains. (7:55) The factors driving supply chain risk onto boardroom agendas, including concentration risk, limited visibility beyond Tier 1 suppliers and the need to balance efficiency with continuity. (22:45) How data, analytics and emerging risk capital solutions are helping organizations gain confidence in decision-making and strengthen their approach to supply chain risk. Soundbites:       Bianca McKenzie:  “It's clear that supply chain disruption isn't just an operational issue, it's ultimately a financial resilience issue.” Lee Meyrick:  “Building forward-looking models that allow the carriers to understand both their per risk and their aggregated risk is really helpful in them coming to the to the fall when it comes to providing capital. I think this is of real value to both clients and the carriers, because there is an increase in demand. This is a new market. This is a new product that needs to come into the market.” Richard Waterer: “I think supply chain risk has moved up the agenda because leaders now recognize that it can directly affect revenue, earnings, customer service and reputation. It's no longer an operational issue that's buried in the supply chain function.”

By Doug Green “Legacy out-of-band gets you in. Modern out-of-band should help you recover.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, I speak with Todd Rychecky, President of Gearlinx, about how out-of-band management is evolving from a narrowly focused remote-access tool into a broader platform for network recovery, operational resilience and business continuity. Modern infrastructure is increasingly distributed across data centers, colocation facilities, branch offices, campus environments, edge locations and remote sites. When the primary network becomes unavailable, simply opening a console port may no longer be enough. Organizations need to know what equipment has been deployed, where it is located, whether it is reachable and what actions can be taken remotely to restore service. “The issue is not simply whether an engineer can reach a console,” Rychecky says. “It's more about whether they can reach the console and still manage their business.” Gearlinx combines secure out-of-band management, cellular connectivity, automation, centralized cloud visibility and lifecycle management into a unified network resilience platform. The goal is to help customers diagnose problems faster, reduce downtime and avoid costly truck rolls. The company's portfolio includes the NR4400 Network Resilience Platform for data center and high-density environments, along with Duckfone, a compact cellular connectivity device designed for edge and distributed locations. Both are brought together through ZERO, the Gearlinx centralized cloud-management platform. ZERO provides visibility into devices, locations, serial numbers, warranties, subscriptions and licensing information. That centralized approach addresses a common problem for enterprises and service providers: critical infrastructure information is often spread across spreadsheets, disconnected applications and separate vendor portals. Gearlinx is also approaching lifecycle management differently. Customers can select one-, three-, five- or seven-year licensing terms, allowing them to align technology investments with their own asset-depreciation and replacement schedules. Warranty coverage and subscriptions begin when equipment is activated through the cloud rather than when it is initially purchased. That can be particularly valuable for organizations that purchase equipment in volume and then deploy it gradually over several months. The platform also supports simplified co-terming, allowing customers and partners to bring licenses, warranties, support and software updates under a common renewal date. Rychecky says these capabilities represent the difference between basic network resilience and broader operational resilience. Operational resilience means giving IT teams the information and management tools they need before, during and after an outage—not simply providing an emergency connection to a console port. The solution is designed for organizations across manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, education, retail, AI infrastructure and other environments where downtime or dispatching a technician can be expensive. For resellers, VARs and MSPs, Gearlinx also creates an opportunity to move beyond a one-time hardware transaction. “Gearlinx enables partners to sell more than a console server,” Rychecky says. “It's an annualized recurring revenue business model for the reseller and decreases capital spending for the customer.” Partners can attach cloud-management licenses, cellular connectivity, managed services, lifecycle planning, support and legacy hardware-refresh programs. That creates ongoing customer engagement and recurring revenue instead of ending the relationship after the initial equipment sale. “It helps resellers lead the business continuity and operational resilience conversation—not just a networking hardware conversation,” Rychecky says. “Partners are not limited to selling a box. They can build an ongoing resilience practice around the customer.” One discovery question can help partners begin that conversation: When your production network is unavailable, how does your team access, diagnose and recover that location?

Can an artist from outside a community become an effective force for change—or does arriving with good intentions risk repeating the very patterns the work is meant to challenge?Bill Cleveland joins Alice Lovelace and Barbara Schaffer Bacon to examine one of community arts practice's most persistent questions: when outsiders enter a community, what allows their work to take root, and what turns a promising intervention into a brief visit—or even a source of harm? Through stories from Serbia, Atlanta, Ohio, and rural Georgia, the conversation moves beyond simple answers and into the practical ethics of entering another community's living room.Listen for three ideas that can change how artists, hosts, and funders approach community-based work:Why local knowledge and leadership must shape the work from the beginning—not merely approve it afterward.How an outside artist can sometimes become a catalyst, witness, or lightning rod when local people cannot safely raise a difficult issue themselves.Why the deepest measure of success is not the artwork left behind, but the relationships, skills, confidence, and community power that remain after the artist leaves.Join us for a candid exploration of what it means to enter with humility, listen for the truth of a place, share leadership, and leave a community more able to tell—and act upon—its own story.Notable MentionsPeopleAlice Lovelace: Poet, educator, performer, and Executive Director of ArtsXchange whose decades of community-based practice inform the episode's most vivid stories about the opportunities and risks faced by visiting artists.Barbara Schaffer Bacon: Cultural policy leader and co-founder of Animating Democracy, known for advancing ethical, reciprocal, and civically engaged arts practice.Bill Cleveland: Host of ART IS CHANGE and longtime community arts practitioner whose book Art and Upheaval examined artists working amid war, oppression, displacement, and social crisis.Dijana Milošević: Serbian theater director, activist, and co-founder of DAH Theatre, cited for describing artists resisting tyranny as citizens acting inside their own community.Slobodan Milošević: Serbian and Yugoslav political leader whose authoritarian rule and the wars surrounding Yugoslavia's breakup form the historical setting for the discussion of DAH Theatre.John O'Neal: Civil rights activist, playwright, co-founder of the Free Southern Theater, and a major developer of story-circle practice in community cultural work.Liz Lerman: Choreographer, educator, and civic arts pioneer whose residencies model inquiry, participation, and shared creative leadership.Michael Rohd: Theater-maker, facilitator, and civic-practice leader whose community residencies use creative process to support public dialogue and local problem-solving.Organizations & InitiativesCenter for the Study of Art & Community: Producer of ART IS CHANGE and a resource for arts-based community development and cultural organizing.ArtsXchange: Atlanta-area interdisciplinary arts center connecting artistic practice, community development, environmental work, and social justice.DAH Theatre Research Center: Belgrade-based theater laboratory founded during the breakup of Yugoslavia, using performance as a form of resistance, memory, and civic engagement.Urban Bush Women: Black women-led dance company and social-change organization that combines performance, artist development, education, and deep community engagement.Animating Democracy: National initiative documenting and strengthening the role of arts and culture in civic dialogue, community change, and democracy.Appalshop: Appalachian media, arts, and education organization dedicated to telling stories from within the region and challenging stereotypes through locally rooted cultural work.CETA Arts Legacy Project: Project preserving the history of federally supported artist employment under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, referenced through artists who worked in communities with unusually open-ended assignments.Events & ProgramsHurricane Katrina: The devastating 2005 Gulf Coast hurricane whose aftermath prompted many artists to seek ways to enter affected communities and help—raising difficult questions about urgency, expertise, and the impulse to parachute in.Story Circle: A structured method for sharing personal experience, discovering common ground, and grounding community work in local voices; used in the Lima, Ohio residencies discussed in the episode.

In this Global Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders examine why extreme heat is emerging as a critical business challenge that demands greater visibility, preparedness and investment. Against the backdrop of heat waves and wildfires across North America and Europe, the discussion explores how heat can create significant financial and operational impacts across organizations, even when physical damage is limited or unseen. The conversation highlights how heat can disrupt workforce productivity, energy systems, infrastructure, supply chains and business continuity simultaneously. It also explores how organizations can use climate analytics, engineering insight, scenario planning and risk transfer to better understand exposure, make more informed capital decisions and build resilience that helps them stay ahead of evolving climate risks. Key Takeaways:        Extreme heat is becoming a serious business risk. Its impact extends well beyond employee wellbeing, creating challenges across operations, supply chains, infrastructure, energy systems and financial performance. Organizations need a clearer understanding of how heat affects their facilities, suppliers, workforce's performance and critical dependencies across their value chain. Climate analytics, risk engineering, adaptation planning and risk transfer can help organizations prioritize investments, protect operations and stay ahead of increasingly frequent heat-related disruptions. Experts in this episode:      Liz Henderson, Global Head of Climate Risk Advisory, Aon Josh Turner, Climate Advisory Product Manager, Aon Key Moments:        (02:20) Why extreme heat is rising on leadership agendas, including the growing financial exposure associated with higher temperatures, aging infrastructure and more frequent heat events.     (6:05) How heat creates cascading business impacts, from workforce productivity and construction delays to equipment performance, energy demand, cooling costs and transportation disruption. (20:20) How organizations can move from awareness to action through exposure analysis, mitigation and adaptation planning and risk transfer strategies that support long-term resilience. Soundbites:        Liz Henderson:   “It's a risk amplifier in general. So across different industries like the food industry or construction, they might be worried about worker productivity, business downtime, crop impacts. And the underlying cause of those things is climate change risks and things like extreme heat.” Josh Turner:   “Extreme heat waves are becoming more common as the climate is shifting in ways that make historical averages a pretty unreliable guide for planning.”

Is your organization's biggest growth challenge really strategy - or is it a hidden trust problem that's quietly slowing everything down? As organizations grow, complexity increases. Decisions slow down, communication breaks down, and leaders often find themselves becoming the bottleneck without realizing why. In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Debbie Simmons – community activist, business leader, wife, mother of nine adopted children, devoted follower of Jesus Christ, and author of The Architecture of Trust - to explore why trust isn't just a leadership value; it's the operating system that allows organizations to scale. Debbie introduces her Architecture of Trust Framework, revealing how leadership alignment, decision clarity, and execution reliability create organizations that thrive under pressure instead of breaking apart. Drawing from decades of leadership experience, personal tragedy, and deep faith, she shares practical strategies to eliminate the "hidden trust tax" that costs organizations time, energy, and impact. Whether you lead a business, nonprofit, team, or even a family, this conversation offers timeless principles for building stronger foundations that last. What We Discuss in This Episode Why trust - not strategy - is often the real limiting factor to organizational growth The hidden signs that trust is breaking down inside your organization Why leaders unknowingly become the bottleneck as organizations scale The three pillars of the Architecture of Trust framework How leadership alignment creates organizational momentum Why decision clarity eliminates confusion and costly rework The importance of execution reliability for sustainable growth Understanding the "hidden trust tax" that's draining your organization How to create a "trust dividend" that accelerates growth and impact Why most organizations have a structure problem—not a people problem How awareness becomes the first step toward transformation Lessons from building a multimillion-dollar nonprofit Debbie's personal story of loss, adoption, and discovering purpose through pain Why asking "Why?" often keeps leaders stuck - and a better question to ask instead Applying trust principles to leadership, business, family, and faith Highlights / YouTube Chapter Titles 00:00 – Why Leaders Get Stuck as Organizations Grow 02:30 – The First Signs of Broken Trust 09:58 – The Three Pillars of the Architecture of Trust 13:03 – People Problems or Structure Problems? 16:22 – Where Leaders Should Start Fixing Trust 20:14 – The Hidden Trust Tax Costing Your Organization 24:48 – Personal Tragedy That Changed Everything 29:15 – Stop Asking "Why?"

After years building software products, Chris Metcalfe crossed into People & Culture and noticed something surprising. Organizations invested enormous effort into understanding customers, testing ideas, and improving products, yet the work people did every day was rarely designed with the same discipline. That realization led him to ask a different question: what if work itself were managed like a product? In this episode, Dart and Chris discuss what happens when organizations move beyond HR as a service function, how product thinking changes the way work is designed, and why better work begins with solving the right problems.Chris Metcalfe is a product leader and organizational strategist helping organizations apply product management to the design of work. After leading product teams at Workday, Docebo, and Primark, he now helps People teams build product capabilities through Red Oak and PX as a Product.In this episode, Dart and Chris discuss:- HR through a product lens- Treating work like a product- The customer inside your company- Solving real work problems- Outcomes over outputs- The power of constraints- Product thinking for HR- Rethinking HR as product- And other topics…Chris Metcalfe is a product leader and organizational strategist who helps organizations apply product management to the design of work.

Artificial intelligence has become the centerpiece of countless business conversations. Every week brings another announcement promising faster development, cheaper operations, or a revolutionary new way to build software. Yet the organizations seeing the greatest long-term success aren't necessarily the ones adopting AI the fastest — they're the ones investing in an effective AI readiness strategy before expecting technology to solve their problems. One of the most important ideas from our conversation with entrepreneur and investor Danny Carpio is that AI doesn't create organizational weaknesses — it exposes ones that already existed. Companies with clear systems, documented processes, and strong decision-making use AI as a powerful accelerator. Organizations built on tribal knowledge, unclear ownership, and inconsistent execution find that AI magnifies every existing weakness instead. About Danny Carpio Danny Carpio is an organizational architect, systems builder, and the author of The Unfirm: The New Unit of Scale Is You. Over the past 13+ years, he has designed operating models, governance structures, and investment architectures for venture-backed startups, decentralized organizations, and multi-entity networks. His work has helped organizations raise and manage eight-figure capital pools, incubate new businesses, and build scalable systems where no established blueprint existed. A licensed attorney, Danny also brings legal and governance expertise to selected clients, integrating operational strategy with practical business execution.

AI Readiness Starts With Better Questions Many organizations start their AI journey by asking, "Which AI tool should we use?" That's the wrong first question. A better one is: "What business problem are we trying to solve?" Throughout the discussion, Danny kept returning to first-principles thinking rather than chasing technology for its own sake. He emphasized understanding what you're building, why you're building it, and whether AI is actually the right solution before adding more complexity. Technology should support business strategy — not replace it. When organizations skip this step, AI becomes another shiny object. Teams spend weeks experimenting with tools, generating code, creating content, and automating workflows without ever measuring whether any of it creates real business value. That leads to activity instead of progress. AI multiplies direction — and if your direction is unclear, AI just helps you move faster toward the wrong destination. Strong Foundations Make AI Work A recurring theme throughout the conversation was preparation. Preparation rarely feels exciting — customers don't buy documentation, investors rarely celebrate internal process improvements, and teams often see planning as something that delays "real work." But preparation becomes the competitive advantage once complexity increases. An AI readiness strategy should start by examining questions like: Where does critical knowledge live? Which business processes depend on individual employees? What decisions are repeatable? Which workflows are documented? Where are the communication bottlenecks? These aren't AI questions — they're business maturity questions. Organizations that answer them honestly create an environment where AI improves execution instead of adding confusion. Companies built around heroics and undocumented knowledge, on the other hand, often find that AI struggles because the organization itself lacks consistency. AI Readiness Requires Humility Perhaps the most overlooked lesson from the conversation is humility. Danny described today's environment as one where assumptions become outdated faster than ever. Past experience still matters, but relying only on past success can create "phantom walls" — constraints that no longer exist because technology has changed what's possible. That doesn't mean abandoning experience. It means questioning it. Successful organizations keep revisiting questions like: Why do we perform this process? Does this approval still provide value? Could this workflow be simplified? Is this limitation still real? The companies winning in the AI era aren't assuming they already have the answers — they're getting exceptionally good at asking better questions. Experience remains valuable, but only when paired with a willingness to challenge yesterday's assumptions. AI Readiness Is About Optionality The discussion also explored how volatility has become permanent. Markets move faster. Technology changes faster. Customer expectations evolve faster. That means organizations need to build optionality into their operations. Instead of designing rigid systems optimized for one future, companies should build flexible systems that can adapt as conditions change. That applies equally to software architecture, product strategy, and organizational design. An AI readiness strategy isn't about predicting the future perfectly — it's about building systems that stay effective even when predictions prove wrong. That requires continuous feedback loops, frequent reassessment, incremental improvements, and fast learning cycles. These traits have always defined resilient organizations; AI just raises the stakes for having them. AI Doesn't Replace Strategy — It Reveals It One of the strongest takeaways from this conversation is that AI should never substitute for strategic thinking. AI can generate software, draft marketing content, analyze data, and automate repetitive tasks. But none of that determines whether a business solves an important problem. The competitive advantage still belongs to organizations that understand their customers, define meaningful objectives, and execute consistently. Technology accelerates execution. Strategy determines direction. That's why organizations should resist measuring AI success by the number of prompts written or automations deployed, and instead measure outcomes: Did customers receive more value? Did quality improve? Were decisions made faster? Did communication improve? Did the organization become easier to scale? Those are business metrics — not AI metrics. Chasing every new AI capability without strategic clarity creates complexity faster than it creates value. Conclusion The companies that thrive during major technological shifts are rarely the ones chasing every new trend. They're the ones strengthening their fundamentals while staying adaptable enough to embrace meaningful change. An effective AI readiness strategy isn't about finding the newest model or the latest automation platform. It's about building an organization that can consistently learn, adapt, and execute regardless of which technologies come next. AI exposes strengths just as quickly as it exposes weaknesses — and the organizations investing in strong foundations today will be the ones positioned to move faster tomorrow. Not because AI made them successful, but because they built businesses capable of taking advantage of what AI makes possible. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

S6:E63 An optional title for this episode is, "Agentic AI, Human Judgment & Cognitive Organizations with Kenneth Corrêa." AI is moving faster than most organizations can absorb it. The temptation is to automate whatever already exists. But Kenneth Corrêa argues that this misses the deeper transformation: businesses must redesign their products, services, workflows, and organizational structures around humans and AI agents working together. Queue up this episode of Small Business Stories as Dr. LL and Kenneth explore agentic AI, cognitive organizations, privacy, adaptive leadership, critical thinking, and the capabilities people will need as execution becomes increasingly automated. If people do not trust how AI is being used, they will resist the systems built around it. If customers, employees, and AI systems cannot clearly understand where human responsibility ends and automated authority begins, the organization creates credibility risk instead of confidence.

What happens when an AI experiment becomes a production service that your employees, customers, and daily operations depend upon? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Brian Klingbeil, Chief Strategy Officer at Ensono, about AI infrastructure resilience, operational dependency, FinOps, legacy modernization, and the growing pressure to prove that enterprise AI investments are producing meaningful returns. Brian has been speaking with major enterprises through Ensono's Executive Advisory Council. Three years ago, many participants were experimenting with proofs of concept. Today, they are being asked to present AI projects that are already in production, approaching production, or demonstrating a clear return through productivity, lower risk, service quality, or financial results. That progression creates a new problem. When an AI model begins supporting product delivery, customer service, logistics, software development, or internal operations, it becomes part of the company's operating infrastructure. Leaders must then ask familiar IT questions about availability, monitoring, security, incident response, disaster recovery, ownership, and cost. Brian believes FinOps often provides the first warning. Token consumption can be difficult for CFOs and business leaders to interpret, particularly when hundreds of agents are operating across different models. Ensono's internal platform has produced around 1,000 agents, prompting questions about which are effective, which are expensive, and who should carry the cost. We discuss why chargeback and showback could change employee behavior. When AI spending is absorbed by a central corporate budget, teams may have little reason to question whether an expensive model is suitable for a routine task. When the cost reaches their departmental budget, the decision can look very different. Architecture also matters. Brian recommends systems that are loosely coupled and tightly integrated. Companies should be able to replace a model, provider, FinOps tool, or service as the market changes, while still connecting each component closely enough to deliver useful business outcomes. That creates a genuine tradeoff. Providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic can offer specialist capabilities that businesses may want to use. Avoiding every provider specific feature can limit what the technology delivers, while becoming too dependent on one provider can make future change expensive and disruptive. The conversation then turns toward legacy technology. Brian argues that many systems described as outdated still process airline reservations, banking transactions, insurance claims, government services, and other high volume workloads. Turning them off without suitable replacements would create far bigger problems than the word "legacy" suggests. AI can change the modernization decision. Ensono worked with Markerstudy Group to analyze six million lines of RPG code running on an IBM i platform. The resulting plan identified applications that should move elsewhere while preserving workloads that still benefited from the platform's reliability and transaction processing capabilities. Brian treats migration as one possible part of modernization. AI tools can document old code, support modern development environments, and allow younger developers to work with established platforms without immediately beginning a lengthy and expensive replacement program. We also discuss Ensono's use of AI operations. Brian says the company reduced mean time to repair by 50% while processing approximately 50,000 tickets each month. The example shows how AI value can be measured through service quality and operational performance rather than relying entirely on direct revenue. The result is a balanced conversation about moving quickly while building enough control to keep AI dependable. Organizations need space for experimentation, but production services also require ownership, budgets, recovery planning, and people who know what to do when something fails. If one AI model or provider disappeared tomorrow, how much of your business would stop working? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

They compare notes on what's hitting, what's surprising, and what's keeping them hooked. In industry news, the Japanese Patent Office delivered a rare moment of public sass by rejecting Nintendo's Palworld‑related patent — signaling frustration with the ongoing legal battle. The guys then break down Nintendo's argument that Switch 2 customers have no right to U.S. tariff refunds because they “received exactly what they paid for,” a stance raising eyebrows across consumer rights discussions. Next, they dive into comments from the GameStop CEO, who claims Sony going disc‑less is “totally irrelevant,” noting physical software makes up only 12% of the company's business. The conversation expands into what this means for retail, collectors, and the future of physical media. The episode also features hands‑on impressions of Xbox Back‑Compat for PC — a new initiative launching with four classic games and potentially signaling a broader preservation push from Microsoft. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week spotlights Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! on Sega Genesis, as John and Ryan debate whether this tropical platformer is a hidden gem or just a relic of its era.

Organizations have been rushing to the public cloud, often without much thought given to strategically placing workloads.Over the intervening years, however, IT and business decision makers have learned that while public cloud can be useful for some applications, there's no one size fits all and AI has brought this to even greater focus.What's the role of private cloud in managing workloads effectively and how can businesses strategically choose what path is best for them?In this episode, in association with Redcentric, the ITPro Podcast is joined by senior product manager for cloud, Darren Adcock, and senior technical architect, Paul Jenner, to discuss the legacy of cloud investment and how organizations can manage their workloads better.Highlights "In many respects, the cloud hangover is kind of a consequence of various factors that people maybe didn't take into account when they moved into cloud... maybe we've got the wrong cloud in use for the wrong application. Maybe we're seeing overspend. Maybe we're seeing just poor customer performance.""It goes back to the early adoption of public cloud being a one size fits all. We've got to move to cloud, we've got to move everything to cloud without necessarily spending the time to think what's most appropriate to move to cloud, what's the most appropriate to keep on private cloud.""Generally, if you re-architect when you move to cloud, then you are more likely to get a cost-effective outcome. If you don't re-architect, the chances are you are just moving a cost to somewhere else where it actually might be more expensive to run than if it was on private cloud.""It's about a sensible view of your workloads of the requirements for those workloads against the capabilities and constraints of each of those clouds and choosing the right environment."Resourceshttps://www.redcentricplc.com/https://www.redcentricplc.com/managed-services/cloud/https://www.redcentricplc.com/managed-services/cloud/private-cloud/https://www.redcentricplc.com/sovereignty/

People often ask me why I'm so passionate about teaching nonprofit leaders. The answer is simple: because I believe we need to change the way nonprofit leaders are taught to build organizations. I've watched passionate, mission-driven leaders struggle because they lacked the education, guidance, and framework to build organizations that could sustain their mission. My mission isn't simply to help nonprofits get funding. It's to help nonprofit leaders build organizations with the capacity, systems, leadership, and infrastructure to create lasting impact.

Summer Leadership Rewind: Staying “Forever Human” in the Age of AI with Sylvie di Giusto Artificial intelligence has changed dramatically over the past year. New tools arrive almost weekly. Organizations are experimenting faster than ever. And leaders everywhere are asking the same question: How do you embrace AI without losing what makes great leadership human? This week, we're taking a summer break, so we’re revisiting one of our most impactful conversations on The Leadership Habit Podcast. Jenn DeWall sits down with leadership expert and Crestcom faculty member Sylvie di Giusto to explore why the leaders who thrive in the age of AI won’t be the ones who know the most about technology. They’ll be the ones who remain unmistakably human. If you missed this episode the first time, or if your relationship with AI has changed since then, now is the perfect time to listen again. Meet Sylvie di Giusto Sylvie di Giusto is an international keynote speaker, author, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), and Hall of Fame speaker who helps organizations improve leadership, influence, and communication. For years, her expertise has been part of Crestcom’s leadership curriculum, helping leaders around the world strengthen emotional intelligence, executive presence, and decision-making. In this conversation, she offers a refreshing perspective on AI that replaces fear with curiosity and competition with collaboration. The Best Leaders Won’t Compete with AI Many professionals still think of AI as something they have to outwork or outperform. Sylvie challenges that mindset. “The goal was never to beat the machine. It is to build with it.” AI will always process information faster, remember more data, and complete repetitive tasks more efficiently than people. Rather than trying to compete in those areas, leaders should focus on the capabilities that technology cannot replicate. Judgment. Empathy. Trust. Context. Ethics. These are the qualities that separate management from leadership—and they become even more valuable as AI becomes more capable. Why Being “Forever Human” Matters More Than Ever As AI-generated content becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from human-created work, authenticity becomes a competitive advantage. People don’t simply want information. They want confidence that someone understands their challenges, considers context, and genuinely cares about the outcome. That’s why Sylvie believes leaders should intentionally cultivate the uniquely human skills AI cannot replace. She explains that while AI can generate answers, leaders ask better questions. AI can analyze information, but leaders interpret meaning. AI can suggest actions, but only people can weigh ethics, relationships, and long-term consequences. In other words, AI can assist leadership, but it cannot replace it. Soft Skills Are Becoming Power Skills For years, organizations emphasized technical expertise and productivity. Ironically, AI is now making those skills easier to automate. The result? Communication, emotional intelligence, adaptability, critical thinking, and relationship-building have become even more valuable. As Sylvie notes: “There will be a big comeback for soft skills because those are the skills that AI cannot replicate.” Organizations investing in leadership development today aren’t preparing people for yesterday’s workplace. They’re building the capabilities that will matter most tomorrow. Leadership Still Means Accountability One of the episode’s most powerful reminders is that AI cannot own the consequences of a decision. Leaders still carry that responsibility. AI can recommend hiring decisions, summarize employee performance, or suggest business strategies. But it cannot understand every human circumstance, organizational nuance, or ethical consideration. As Sylvie points out, leaders cannot blame technology for decisions they choose to make. Accountability remains a human responsibility. A Conversation That’s Even More Relevant Today When this episode originally aired, many organizations were just beginning to explore generative AI. Today, AI has become part of everyday work. That makes this conversation even more valuable. Rather than focusing on specific tools or trends that quickly become outdated, Sylvie shares timeless leadership principles that help leaders navigate any technological change. Her message isn’t about resisting AI or blindly embracing it. It’s about learning how to use it wisely while protecting the qualities that make leadership meaningful. Key Takeaways If there’s one message to carry forward from this Summer Leadership Rewind, it’s this: AI will continue to evolve. Great leadership will continue to depend on people. The leaders who succeed won’t be those who simply adopt the newest technology. They’ll be the ones who combine technology with empathy, sound judgment, authentic communication, creativity, and accountability. Or, as Sylvie says best: “Don’t compete with AI. Focus on what you do in the moments that matter most as a human being.” Listen to the Episode Catch this Summer Leadership Rewind episode of The Leadership Habit Podcast with Sylvie di Giusto and discover why staying “Forever Human” may be the most important leadership strategy of the AI era.

Having an AI policy is a great first step, but successful AI Governance Implementation goes much further. Governance isn't about creating documents that sit on a shelf—it's about building processes that become part of everyday development. As organizations continue integrating AI into products and workflows, the challenge shifts from whether to use AI to how to manage it responsibly. In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Latha Karthigaa, Co-Founder of the Global AI Certification Council (GAICC), we explored practical steps organizations of every size can take to introduce AI governance without slowing innovation. About Latha Karthigaa Dr. Latha Karthigaa is the Director & Head of AI Governance of the Global AI Certification Council (GAICC), where she helps organizations implement responsible AI through governance frameworks, certifications, and AI management systems.

Learn more: GAICC: https://gaicc.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lathakarthigaa/ AI Governance Implementation Starts with Ownership One of the biggest risks organizations face isn't malicious AI—it's unmanaged AI. Many businesses experiment with AI tools, build internal assistants, or launch AI-powered features without assigning clear ownership. When something goes wrong, no one knows who is responsible for investigating, fixing, or improving the system. Every AI system should have a designated owner. That doesn't mean one person writes every line of code or monitors every prompt. It means someone is accountable for ensuring the system continues operating within acceptable boundaries as models evolve, data changes, and new risks emerge.

Before leaders can redesign their organizations with AI, they have to reconsider how they personally think, work, and make decisions.In this special episode of Unlearn, Barry O'Reilly shares the opening chapter of the audiobook edition of Artificial Organizations, narrated in his own voice. After hearing from readers who wanted another way to experience the book, Barry spent four days in the studio bringing its ideas and stories to life. The process was rewarding, demanding, and personal. As someone who is dyslexic, reading every word aloud required a different kind of focus from delivering a keynote, teaching a workshop, or hosting a podcast conversation.Barry then takes listeners into the central argument of the book: organizations often begin AI adoption with licenses, pilots, and tools while leaving leadership behavior and decision-making systems unchanged. Drawing from his own experiments, leadership research, and work with senior teams across North America, Europe, and Asia, he explains why meaningful AI transformation starts with human traits, high-value tasks, and the judgment leaders must preserve before selecting technology.Key TakeawaysAI should strengthen judgment, not simply increase output: Machines can process and synthesize information at a scale no individual can match, but leaders still have to decide what matters. The opportunity is to use AI to prepare, capture, and pressure-test thinking so human attention stays focused on consequential decisions.Start with traits, then tasks, then tools: Barry's 3T model begins with how a leader naturally thinks, creates, communicates, and decides. Only after identifying the tasks where that judgment creates the most value should leaders choose tools to support the work.Decision velocity must be paired with decision advantage: Decision velocity is how quickly a leader moves from question to insight, decision, and action. Decision advantage is the quality and depth of context behind that choice; speed without insight creates chaos, while insight without timely action becomes irrelevant.Most leadership time is allocated away from leadership value: Barry describes an 80/20 mismatch in which meetings, updates, administration, and context reconstruction consume most of a leader's time, while the greatest value comes from framing problems, evaluating tradeoffs, and making high-stakes decisions.Organizational AI adoption begins with personal behavior change: Broad mandates, task forces, and tool rollouts are often the wrong starting point. Leaders build more credible adoption when they experiment in their own workflows, share what they learn, and make new behaviors visible to their teams.Additional InsightsPresence can be more valuable than productivity: Barry's first AI experiment used a meeting assistant to capture and synthesize conversations. The practical gain was not only faster preparation and follow-up; it allowed him to stop carrying every detail in his head and remain fully present during critical discussions.Experience becomes a liability when it is not augmented: The instincts and institutional knowledge that helped leaders succeed can become limiting when they are treated as sufficient. Experience keeps compounding only when leaders combine it with broader recall, faster synthesis, and continuous testing.Senior leaders need psychological safety to learn: Barry's executive study found that leaders preferred one-on-one coaching and small peer cohorts over large workshops or self-paced courses. Being a beginner is uncomfortable at senior levels, so smaller environments make experimentation and honest questions easier.New capacity should create thinking space, not more workload: In the Progeny case study, AI reduced the effort required to capture meetings, actions, owners, and deadlines. CEO Peter Nevsky framed the resulting capacity as time for strategic thought and better decisions rather than an invitation to place people on a faster operational treadmill.The unit of change is the judgment inside a role: AI may automate parts of a project manager's, analyst's, or executive's work while increasing the importance of interpretation, challenge, and decision quality. The role may remain, but the judgment required within it changes.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Introduction & Why I Created the AudiobookBarry introduces this special preview of the Artificial Organizations audiobook, shares why he chose to narrate it himself, and explains why leaders need a different approach to AI adoption through the 3T framework: Traits, Tasks, and Tools.04:33 – A Quick Favor Before We BeginBarry invites listeners to leave an Amazon review, recommend the audiobook to their network, and help more leaders discover its ideas.05:16 – Preface: Why the Way We Work Is BrokenBarry introduces the central challenge facing modern organizations: leaders are overwhelmed by information, while better decisions remain harder than ever.07:11 – Judgment Under PressureBarry explores why more data, more tools, and more technology haven't created better leadership, arguing that the real constraint is our ability to process information and make sound judgments.10:07 – The First AI Leadership ExperimentA simple experiment with an AI meeting assistant transformed Barry's leadership by improving clarity, presence, and decision-making, leading to a new perspective on AI's role.12:00 – AI as Judgment InfrastructureBarry reframes AI as more than a productivity tool, explaining how it strengthens judgment, improves decisions, and helps leaders focus on what matters most.16:07 – Part One: The Judgment ConstraintBarry introduces the first section of the book, explaining why AI creates little value unless it changes how leaders think, decide, and lead.18:08 – Chapter One: Your Legacy Is Now Your LiabilityBarry examines why experience alone is no longer enough and how decision velocity and continuous learning are becoming the defining advantages of modern leadership.22:20 – The AI ROI Blind SpotBarry challenges the common focus on efficiency and cost reduction, arguing that AI's greatest value lies in helping leaders make better and faster decisions.28:16 – From Linear Leadership to Exponential InnovationBarry explains why traditional leadership models struggle in the AI era and why organizations must adopt new ways of learning, experimenting, and making decisions.34:10 – What Makes an Artificial OrganizationBarry defines artificial organizations and shares how leaders can replace memory-based management with shared judgment systems that accelerate decision-making and collaboration.40:09 – The New Leadership DivideBarry explores the widening gap between leaders who actively experiment with AI and those who continue relying on legacy ways of working, and why that difference will compound over time.43:15 – Where to StartBarry explains why successful AI transformation begins with personal experimentation, encouraging leaders to model new behaviors before scaling change across their organizations.45:15 – Closing ReflectionsBarry concludes the first chapter, thanks listeners for joining this special audiobook preview, and invites them to continue the journey with Artificial Organizations.FAQsQ1. Is this Unlearn episode an audiobook preview?Yes. This special episode includes Barry O'Reilly's recorded introduction followed by the opening chapter of the audiobook edition of Artificial Organizations, narrated by Barry himself. He explains why the audio edition was created, what recording the book required, and how its ideas connect to his work with executive leaders and teams.Q2. What is an artificial organization?An artificial organization is a company that deliberately combines human and machine intelligence to redesign how context is captured, information is synthesized, and decisions are made. Instead of adding AI to the edges of existing workflows, it builds judgment infrastructure into how the organization operates.Q3. How can leaders use AI to make better decisions?Leaders can use AI to capture conversations, summarize context, test assumptions, explore scenarios, prepare for meetings, and identify unresolved actions. This reduces the information leaders must carry mentally and gives them more capacity to focus on tradeoffs, consequences, and high-value judgment.Q4. What is the difference between decision velocity and decision advantage?Decision velocity is the speed at which a leader moves from a question to insight, decision, and action. Decision advantage is the quality, accuracy, and depth of context behind that decision. Strong leadership requires both because speed without insight creates chaos, while insight without action loses relevance.Q5. Why do many enterprise AI initiatives fail to create business value?They often begin with tool purchases, pilots, and mandates without redesigning how work, context, and judgment flow through the...

Welcome to the Summer Leadership Reset on Partnering Leadership.We have more access to ideas than ever before.More books. More podcasts. More articles. More insights.The challenge isn't finding more information. It's spending enough time with the ideas that can change how we think, decide, and lead.I have seen this in my own life. The books and conversations that have influenced me most aren't the ones I rushed through and moved on from. They are the ones I returned to, wrestled with, and understood differently as my own experiences changed.After more than 450 Partnering Leadership conversations with CEOs, researchers, authors, and leadership thinkers, there are a few I continue coming back to because the ideas become more valuable the more we sit with them.Throughout July and August, I'll be sharing 10 of those conversations.They explore some of the questions I see leaders wrestling with most: adapting to change, building trust, making better decisions, rethinking work, using AI wisely, and creating organizations ready for what comes next.Whether you are listening for the first time or revisiting these conversations, I hope they help you find an insight you can apply and a question worth thinking about long after the episode ends.—MahanConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

She's the recipient of the 2025 Talent Award from Thinker50 and has been named a LinkedIn Top Voice. She is the author of The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work (Amazon, Bookshop)*. We've all seen career paths that sound like this: analyst 1, analyst 2, senior analyst, lead analyst, manager of analysts, etc. Those paths to leadership work for some people, but they don't work for others. In this conversation, Ludmila and I explore how to create leadership paths that work for everyone. Key Points Canaries were used in coal mines because they were more sensitive to early indicators of problems – in a way that helped everyone. The same is often true for neurodivergent leaders in organizations. The “ideal leader” is a myth. If we are honest, no individual fits the ideal profile. Having different paths to leadership makes more sense in a complex world. Many of the best leaders are specialists in something. Instead of looking for “culture fit,” challenge yourself and your organization to do a “culture add.” Neurodiverse leaders can be less susceptible to bias and have higher levels of divergent thinking – huge benefits strengths for many organizations. In addition to people management, consider paths for leadership that focus strength and skill on system and process, strategy, expertise, though leadership, global leadership, and creative ideation. Making the workplace more accessible and equitable for one population almost always makes it better for everyone.
