In private equity, the smartest procurement move isn't scaling spend. It's scaling insight.In this episode, host Richard McIntosh speaks with Will Harman, Founder & CEO of Trusted Value Creation and former Global Margin Expansion Lead at Apax Partners.Will shares how private equity turns procurement into one of its most powerful levers for value creation. Drawing on his experience managing $12 billion in annual spend across 85 portfolio companies, he explains how PE firms create margin improvement through data-driven insight, precise timing, and selective intervention, instead of bulk buying.From AI tools that turn spend data into opportunity maps to peer networks that unlock scale without complexity, Will shows why intelligent collaboration outperforms traditional cost-cutting. His perspective challenges procurement leaders to think differently, using PE's focused, results-driven model to deliver measurable value and long-term business impact.You'll learn:1. How private equity turns procurement into a core driver of profit and growth2. Why collaboration often beats centralised buying for real results3. How AI helps uncover opportunities before they reach the boardroom4. What right-sized capability looks like in agile, fast-moving organisations5.

W tym odcinku podcastu BSS bez tajemnic ponownie łączę świat biznesu z uczelniami i zabieram Was na Szkołę Główną Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Warszawie, gdzie od lat rozwijany jest silny ekosystem studiów podyplomowych odpowiadających realnym potrzebom rynku.Moim gościem jest Karolina Praszek – Gołębiewska, Dyrektor Zarządzająca w Kancelaria Bezpieczeństwa Karolina Praszek i Partnerzy oraz współautorka i spiritus movens studiów podyplomowych „Menedżer Bezpieczeństwa Informacji i Ochrony Danych Osobowych” na SGGW. Rozmawiamy o tym, dlaczego ochrona danych osobowych, compliance i szeroko rozumiane bezpieczeństwo informacji to dziś jeden z kluczowych filarów każdej firmy, a nie „papierologia” czy przykry obowiązek narzucony przez RODO.Karolina pokazuje bardzo praktycznie, że biznes zarabia na leadach, a lead to konkretna dana osobowa, więc dobrze ułożony system bezpieczeństwa i procedur realnie przekłada się na stabilność przychodów, ciągłość działania i zaufanie klientów – szczególnie w czasach ransomware, phishingu i coraz bardziej wyrafinowanych cyberataków.Wchodzimy też głębiej w temat odpowiedzialności zarządów – w tym wchodzącej dyrektywy NIS2 – oraz kultury organizacyjnej, w której „ryba psuje się od głowy”, jeśli liderzy nie traktują bezpieczeństwa poważnie.W drugiej części odcinka rozbieramy na czynniki pierwsze same studia podyplomowe: 176 godzin intensywnej, praktycznej nauki, silne nastawienie na warsztaty, case studies, audyty oraz możliwość odbycia 40‑godzinnego kursu audytora wiodącego ISO 27001, zakończonego zewnętrznym egzaminem. Karolina podkreśla, że program budowany jest przez praktyków od lat działających w obszarze RODO, bezpieczeństwa informacji, norm ISO i compliance, a celem jest wypuszczanie na rynek nie „inspektorów po weekendowym kursie”, lecz specjalistów z realnymi kompetencjami do pracy w działach bezpieczeństwa i outsourcingowych zespołach IOD. Kluczowe punkty rozmowy:Bezpieczeństwo informacji i ochrona danych osobowych są kluczowe dla stabilności i sukcesu biznesu, a dobrze zorganizowany system ochrony danych zwiększa zaufanie i lojalność klientów.Studia podyplomowe na SGGW, takie jak Menedżer Bezpieczeństwa Informacji i Ochrony Danych Osobowych, oferują nie tylko teoretyczną wiedzę, ale również praktyczne umiejętności, w tym kurs na audytora wiodącego.Outsourcing funkcji inspektora ochrony danych zapewnia firmom dostęp do zespołów ekspertów z różnorodnym doświadczeniem, co pozwala na lepsze wdrażanie i utrzymanie systemów bezpieczeństwa informacji.Linki:Karolina Praszek – Gołębiewska na Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodo/Studia SGGW „Menedżer Bezpieczeństwa Informacji i Ochrony Danych Osobowych” - https://spbiodo.sggw.edu.pl/Kancelaria Bezpieczeństwa Karolina Praszek i Partnerzy - https://odokancelaria.pl/Porozmawiaj o tym odcinku ze sztuczną inteligencją – https://bbs-bez-tajemnic.onpodcastai.com/episodes/fhj2CcmKKN0/chat **************************** Nazywam się Wiktor Doktór i na co dzień prowadzę Klub Pro Progressio https://proprogressio.com/pl/dzialalnosc/klub-pro-progressio/1 – to społeczność wielu firm prywatnych i organizacji sektora publicznego, którym zależy na rozwoju relacji biznesowych w modelu B2B.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
If you're a small business owner, you are probably experiencing some degree of overwhelm in your business or personal life. Probably both. Because when you're a small business owner, business and personal overlap and intertwine. A lot. Overwhelm can become a major obstacle to success. It can affect your business growth and your personal growth. Personal overwhelm affects your business and business overwhelm affects your personal life. How many times have you been impatient or snippy or overreacted to something because of stress in another part of your life? So many business owners operate in a constant state of overwhelm. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, I'm walking you through five things you can do to help reduce your overwhelm so you can thrive instead of just surviving. 1. Time Management - There will never be enough hours in the day to get everything done. How we manage our time is crucial to reducing overwhelm. Get more done by: Identifying high-priority tasks. Time blocking those tasks. Removing distractions. Using a timer to stay focused. 2. Hiring, Outsourcing, Delegating - you can't keep doing business alone. This means knowing when it's time to: Hire Outsource Delegate 3. Setting Realistic Goals and Timelines - entrepreneurs are guilty of always thinking we can get more done in a set amount of time than we actually can. Be honest with yourself. Plan only ONE big rock per quarter. (detailed in my Strategic Yearly Planning Workshop - linked below) 4. Getting Support - feeling supported makes a huge difference to the amount of overwhelm you feel. How can your team support you? How can your spouse support you? How can your children support you? How can your friends and family support you? Seek out other support - housekeeper, grocery deliveries, etc. 5. Self-care - you need to take time for yourself. Don't feel guilty about it. Plan self-care time - put it on your calendar. Make time to spend with friends and family. Start with one of these items and build it into your routine. Then layer in another. And another. Stop operating in fight or flight mode. Your health and the health of your business depend on it!

Do you ever feel like you can't fully relax until everyone else around you is okay? Like you're constantly scanning the room, the conversations, the energy – making sure no one is upset, disappointed, or uncomfortable… even if it means abandoning your own needs? I'm so excited to have family nurse practitioner, coach, healing expert, and all-around wonder woman Beatriz Victoria Albina back on the show to talk about her new book, End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, and People-Pleasing Habits.

IN THIS EPISODE: The top signs you're stuck in a chronic cycle of people pleasing, perfectionism, or codependency, and how these habits disguise themselves as kindness or ambition Beatriz's journey from her medical practice to somatic healing and the links between nervous system dysregulation, gut health, and emotional exhaustion Why the generational script handed down by our mothers is keeping modern women over-giving, under-valuing themselves, and perpetually on edge Simple somatic practices you can start using TODAY to reconnect with your body, listen to your true needs, and interrupt those exhausting autopilot patterns LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Learn more about Beatriz and her book on her website, on her Instagram page, on the Feminist Wellness podcast, and you can buy her book on Amazon.

Pranav Dalal is the visionary Founder and CEO of Office Beacon, a global outsourcing powerhouse with over 5,500 employees. Launching the business in 2000 after the dot-com crash, Pranav has expanded operations from India to the Philippines, Mexico, and South Africa, providing over 150 different services to clients worldwide. As a single father, he is actively building a multi-generational family business, with his children joining the ranks to learn the industry from the ground up. Pranav is also a forward-thinker who leverages unique partnerships with the NFL and SoFi Stadium to drive business growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode, host Jonathan Goldhill sits down with Pranav Dalal to discuss his 25-year journey of building a truly global enterprise. Pranav shares the origin story of shifting from the tech sector to B2B services and how he strategically scaled Office Beacon across multiple continents. We explore how he balances running a massive remote organization using systems like EOS and the "generational compact" he has established with his children. Pranav also offers fascinating insights into his unique sports marketing partnerships, his aggressive adoption of AI to disrupt his own business model, and the ancestral values that guide his leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Generational Compact: Pranav built Office Beacon with the specific intent of creating a multi-generational legacy. His children joined the business not through nepotism, but by starting at entry-level positions to learn humility and hard work.Scaling with EOS: Managing 5,500 employees remotely requires discipline. Pranav utilizes the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) five levels deep to ensure core values and goals are cascaded effectively across global teams.Innovative Partnerships: Moving beyond traditional marketing, Office Beacon holds exclusive partnerships with SoFi Stadium and the NFL Alumni Association, using stadium suites for daily business networking rather than just game-day entertainment.Disrupt or Be Disrupted: Pranav views himself as the "Chief Disruption Officer." He is heavily investing in AI education and implementation for 2026, believing that if he doesn't disrupt his own business model, a competitor will.Trust But Verify: A core leadership lesson Pranav instills in his children and team is the concept of "trust but verify"—maintaining faith in people while ensuring details and execution are validated to prevent costly mistakes.Ancestral DNA: Pranav reconnected with his heritage, discovering that his surname "Dalal" means "broker" in Persian/Hindi, which reinforced his belief that business and entrepreneurship are embedded in his family's DNA.QUOTES"My whole goal was to create a multi-generational family business.""If we're not disrupting ourselves, someone's going to disrupt you.""I realized that it was a very doable thing... that there are these family legacies out there in business that go back hundreds of years.""They fail, feel a sense of ownership even though I'm the owner... their mindset of being accountable is incredible.""I'm in the people business, and I should be the first one to say, 'Wow, I'm scared of AI,' but I'm embracing it a thousand percent."Connect and learn more about Pranav Dalal and Office Beacon: Pranav Dalal's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pranavdalal/Office Beacon Website: https://www.officebeacon.com/ Email for inquiries: sales@officebeacon.comIf you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

As artificial intelligence (AI) begins to shape decisions about who is detained in armed conflict and how detention facilities are managed, questions once reserved for science fiction are now urgent matters of law and ethics. The drive to harness data and optimize efficiency risks displacing human judgment from one of the most sensitive areas of warfare: deprivation of liberty. In doing so, AI could strip detainees of what remains of their humanity, reducing them to data points and undermining the core humanitarian guarantees that the Geneva Conventions were designed to protect. In this post, Terry Hackett, ICRC's Head of the Persons Deprived of Liberty Unit, and Alexis Comninos, ICRC's Thematic Legal Adviser, explore how the use of AI in detention operations intersects with international humanitarian law (IHL), and why humane treatment must remain a human-centered endeavor. Drawing on the ICRC's recent recommendations to the UN Secretary-General, they argue that while IHL does not oppose innovation, it sets the moral and legal boundaries that ensure technological progress does not come at the cost of human dignity.

In today's episode, Bob ‘n Joyce dive into the pitfalls that often accompany the perceived benefits of outsourcing HR services. While outsourcing can seem like a smart move, especially on paper, it often brings unintended consequences—many of them negative—despite the best intentions and solid rationale. We're not anti-outsourcing, but we've seen the chaos that can result when the process isn't managed well. The good news? With the right approach, much of that chaos can be avoided. Here are a few of our thoughts on making outsourcing work for you rather than against you: • Pain points are inevitable with any major change—but a thoughtful process can minimize them. • When the primary rationale is purely financial, that's often a recipe for trouble. • If the risk-reward stakes are high, start small: a pilot phase can be a powerful learning tool. So come on in, grab a snack, and join us for a candid conversation about how to keep outsourcing from turning into an out-of-control adventure.

Inside the Wolf’s Den an Entrepreneurial Journey with Shawn and Joni Wolfswinkel
In this episode of Inside The Wolf's Den, Shawn and Joni explain how to maximize time and skill growth through strategic outsourcing and efficient habits, and dive into the busy reality of running five businesses, leading teams, and balancing a thriving family and marriage. The hosts reveal how strategic outsourcing and disciplined efficiency help them manage it all, answering the perennial questions: How do you manage it all? Do you sleep? The core idea is clear: time is a finite resource, and outsourcing becomes a strategic move when earnings exceed roughly $16/hour, freeing up time for learning, side projects, rest, and further business growth. The show details practical outsourcing for meal-related tasks, cleaning and laundry, yard work, and child care, highlighting where time is truly saved. They break down groceries, meal planning, and batch cooking, providing time estimates and options such as grocery delivery or meal kits. Cleaning and laundry receive similar scrutiny, offering insights into when to hire help or leverage nanny services. Yard work and childcare are examined for their substantial time costs, with concrete savings through dedicated services and care providers. Each segment weighs costs versus time saved and dependencies on schedules, delivering a pragmatic map for reclaiming hours. Focusing on reinvesting saved time, Shawn and Joni explain why skill development matters as a force multiplier. They outline actionable, path goal aligned learning, micro lessons, deliberate practice, and time blocking, along with metrics to track progress. The episode wraps with the mantra: “Time is money, but money can buy time,” encouraging listeners to reinvest saved hours into their future selves and higher earning potential.

Tenderoni Hotline #4: Hello my love! Welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline, our cozy corner of the Feminist Wellness podcast where I answer your most tender, honest, and heartfelt questions about healing, self-trust, and nervous system care. In today's episode, we're exploring what happens when you finally find the courage to speak your truth, only to be met with defensiveness, blame, or long explanations that leave you feeling unseen and small. We'll talk about why this happens in the body, how your nervous system perceives defensiveness as danger, and how your own body might freeze, fawn, or shut down in response. You'll learn somatic tools to help you stay grounded in your truth, even when the person in front of you can't meet you there. We'll also unpack what emotional outsourcing really means and how codependent, perfectionist, or people-pleasing habits actually live in the body. You'll discover how your nervous system learned early on to locate safety, love, and belonging in other people's moods or opinions, and how somatic work can gently rewire that pattern so you can begin to feel safe inside yourself again. This conversation is tender, compassionate, and rooted in science. Because you deserve relationships where honesty feels safe, boundaries are respected, and love doesn't require self-abandonment.

On this episode, I am joined by Béa Victoria Albina, a trained nurse practitioner, master certified life coach, somatic experiencing practitioner and author of “End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, People-Pleasing Habits.” Béa coined the term ‘Emotional Outsourcing', which describes our co-dependent, people pleasing and perfectionistic habits and how these behaviors cost us our joy, authenticity and true connection to self and others.
