Send us a textGuest: Shane Rodabaugh, System VP of IT & Infrastructure, Baptist Health KY & IN Host: Vik PatelIn this episode, Vik welcomes Shane Rodabaugh to discuss infrastructure modernization, cloud strategy, AI readiness, and leadership in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment.They begin with a look at Baptist Health's current infrastructure—a hybrid model with Epic EHR hosted on-premise and new efforts like Cogito Cloud moving to Microsoft Fabric. This transition lays the foundation for advanced analytics and future AI capabilities.Vik and Shane explore the challenges of defining a “cloud strategy” in a world that evolves faster than any 3-year plan. Shane emphasizes the importance of flexibility and prioritization, especially when resources are limited but the demand for innovation is high. Vik introduces Tido CortexAI, an AI-ready data cloud, noting that CMIOs are often at the forefront of these initiatives. Shane mentions Baptist's CMIO, Dr. Brett Oliver, and how he's helping drive AI strategy from a clinical lens.As the conversation deepens, Vik asks about collaboration with clinical leadership. Shane explains that the dialogue is open and energetic—but sometimes he has to “hold the horses back.” Even with compelling ROI and excitement from clinicians, resource capacity often becomes the limiting factor. Still, the team focuses on staying agile, learning from fast failures, and pivoting quickly when needed.They shift to discussing AI governance and risk. Shane underscores the importance of understanding the algorithms and data behind models before deploying AI solutions in clinical settings.On the topic of build vs. buy, Shane shares insights from recent leadership discussions. While he's not opposed to building, he notes that Baptist isn't a development shop and scaling internal dev teams is a major investment. They view partners—like Epic—as their development engine for core platforms. Vik adds that a hybrid model often works best: internal teams guiding strategy while partners focus on execution. This balance helps mitigate key personnel risk and increases long-term sustainability.The conversation rounds out with leadership and collaboration. Shane shares how closely he works with the CIO and PMO, including weekly meetings focused on project prioritization and transparent communication—something he says is a strength at Baptist.They close the episode by talking about work-life balance. Shane shares a recent family vacation experience and how it's important to model healthy balance from the top. Lastly, he offers a grounding reminder: no matter how complex the tech or fast the pace—it's all for the patient.Support the showListen to all This Week in Health Tech episodesVik Patel - LinkedInTido Inc. - WebsiteTido Inc. - LinkedIn

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, and TikTok Canada.Greetings, you curious, you courageous Herle Burly-ites! Election 45 is in the books. And after 5 and ½ weeks on the trail, Mark Carney is in office. This time, as an elected Prime Minister.I have a conversation today with one of the key players that helped him navigate that path. For both the Liberal Leadership race and the ensuing election. My aim, for the next 60 minutes or so, will be to get an insider's view of the whole story ... with Braeden Caley!When Prime Minister Carney was first sworn in back in March, Braeden was named Deputy Chief of staff in the PMO. On the campaign, he served as National Campaign co-director and senior advisor. He's a long-time Liberal operative, the Senior Director of Comms for the Liberal Party, playing key roles in the 2015, 2019 and 2021 elections. And if all of that weren't enough, Braeden was also President and CEO of Canada 2020, a leading progressive think tank in Canada.So today: Who is Mark Carney? What motivates him? What does he care about? And then the shape of the campaign itself ... we'll talk about what Team Carney expected to happen. And what surprised them. The 51 st State factor. Was it a welcome intrusion, from a purely political point of view? And then, the upcoming minority parliament. How is the Prime Minister going to approach achieving his agenda?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Alright, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! We assembled The Chiefs for a timely pod to discuss campaigning while governing! Typically with The Chiefs, we discuss issues from the perspective of people who think about them NOT as campaigners do, i.e. what might be ideal in a political sense, but rather, what's possible to deliver in a governing sense.But because these guys are 3 of the best political minds in the country, and we're right in the middle of Campaign 45, I want to change it up a bit. We'll spend about half our time today talking about how each of them would be advising the various campaigns given the current state of play. And then, for Part 2, I want to cover how they'd deal with managing a PMO or leader's office in a campaign like this one with actual news in it, i.e. Trump. How do you function juggling campaigning and daily governing in challenging times? What's the relationship with the bureaucracy?You know them, three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC. Now … Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary.Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin. Now ...  the newly installed EVP and Chief Strategic Affairs Officer at AECON.Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta, Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan, one of the architects of Jack Layton's Orange Wave.

You'll learn: ✅ Why tasks and deliverables don't grab executive attention – and what to focus on instead ✅ The framework I teach our mastermind students to position your projects as strategic, value-driving initiatives ✅ How to highlight the consequences of inaction to create urgency and executive alignment   I also share real-world stories from my own career and from students in the IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind who made small but powerful shifts in how they communicated – and saw immediate results.  

Moving from full-time employment to starting a business can seem daunting but we have some great ideas from a Singaporean who moved from the army and PMO to starting his own business. Hear about his light-bulb moment as a dad changing a nappy and what he recommends we all do if anticipating a career switch.

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen Hi, IMPACT Driver!     If you've ever felt like your executives and other stakeholders don't really appreciate all you bring to the table (or maybe even see you as administrative overhead), you're not alone.   In this week's episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest mindset shifts that separates project managers and PMO leaders from true strategic leaders.   It's time to stop managing and start leading.   I share how to break free from the “order-taker” mentality and focus on delivering real business outcomes – not just outputs. I even share a personal story from The IMPACT Engine about how asking the right questions transformed the way my PMO was perceived by leadership.   Here's the thing – leadership doesn't care about project plans. They care about results.   So what are you doing to shift your focus to the results?   Click PLAY above to listen now.   P.S.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In a speech today in Istanbul, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised the “courageous decision” of the International Criminal Court to seek the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC issued the warrants against the Israeli leaders and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif on Thursday on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza conflict. We discuss how this as a new line in the sand for Israel-supporting countries. Yesterday, new Defense Minister Israel Katz announced an end to administrative detention orders for West Bank settlers. Almost on the heels of this announcement, several dozen Jewish extremists in Hebron for an annual pilgrimage tried to attack the head of the IDF Central Command Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth. Five were arrested. Horovitz weighs in on this announcement and other unsettling news regarding settlers this week. In a highly unusual move, the State Prosecutor's Office on Friday published a rebuttal to allegations that it has been selectively enforcing the law concerning leaked intelligence information with the grave charges it has brought against Eli Feldstein, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and an unnamed IDF reservist, in relation to the leak of a stolen, classified document to German newspaper Bild. A second PMO spokesman, Jonathan Urich, was questioned by the Israel Police's Lahav 433 major crimes unit for a second time on Wednesday as part of the probe. Horovitz discusses the prosecutor's unusual move to publish a Q&A on the case and raises other outstanding questions surrounding it. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: UK indicates it could arrest Netanyahu on ICC warrant, as Hungary invites him to visit Analysts warn ICC arrest warrants could pave way to future arms embargoes on Israel Defense minister declares end to administrative detention against West Bank settlers Several dozen Jewish extremists in Hebron try to attack IDF's top West Bank commander Troops smuggled settler leader into Gaza to survey settlement options – report State prosecution posts rare rebuttal of ‘misinformation' relating to PMO intel leak case Report: Netanyahu adviser Urich questioned for second time in document leak case Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

WENDY GROUNDS:  Hello, and welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  We're so glad you've joined us today.  I am Wendy Grounds, and in the studio is our project management expert, Bill Yates.  If you're enjoying the show we'd love to hear from you.  If it's on our website Velociteach.com, on social media, or your favorite podcast app, your feedback helps us keep inspiring and supporting project managers like you.  And if you've got questions about our podcasts or project management certifications, we're here to help.

BILL YATES:  Seventy-nine. WENDY GROUNDS:  Seventy-nine, yeah.  We had Kendall Lott and Selena Buchanan on our podcast, and they were talking about project management design volunteering, which was really a very interesting episode. BILL YATES:  Yes, it was.  Time flies.  I can't believe it's that long ago. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, it was 2019, mm-hmm. BILL YATES:  Yeah.  The book that we're going to talk about with Laura, she actually mentioned, she makes a few references to Kendall and some of the work that the three of them have done together.  This book is called “The Impact Engine,” and I've got to tell you, I enjoyed reading that book.  I thought the one pen I was using was going to run out of ink because I kept underlining, making comments in the side.  So, I look forward to being able to talk through some of these key ideas with Laura in this conversation.  I can't wait to dive into this. Meet Laura WENDY GROUNDS:  Hi, Laura.  Welcome to Manage This.  We're so thankful that you're here, and you're joining us today.  We've been wanting to talk to you for a long time, so thank you for being here today.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Six Israeli soldiers were killed in a clash with Hezbollah forces, the IDF announced Wednesday, as Israeli troops pushed deeper into southern Lebanon amid an intensification of violence, even as officials expressed cautious optimism on ceasefire talks. It was one of the heaviest single-day losses in the operation that began in late September against Hezbollah. Horovitz updates on efforts to reach a ceasefire in the north and the key player not included in the talks. Tzachi Braverman, who serves as chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is being questioned under caution today by the police's Lahav 443 serious crimes unit. We hear more about the two -- or three -- issues under investigation with links to the Prime Minister's Office. Authorities in Paris announced that more than 4,000 police officers and 1,600 stadium staff would be deployed for the game and only French and Israeli flags will be allowed inside the stadium. Horovitz weighs in to why accusations that what happened in Amsterdam was mere soccer hooliganism just missed the mark. On Wednesday, the Jerusalem District Court rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request for a 10-week delay to the start of his testimony in his criminal trial, saying that he already had five months to prepare. And finally, we discuss Israeli media's complicated relationship with the military censor and the censor's sometimes baffling rulings.

Welcome to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. In this episode, we're joined by Laura Barnard, also known as “The PMO Lady” and the 2021 World's Top PMO Influencer. Laura is the founder of PMO Strategies and creator of the IMPACT Engine, a revolutionary approach to managing projects and accelerating strategy delivery. She shares her deep insights on why most projects fail, how to make sure your brilliant ideas don't fall apart, and how to structure your project management office (PMO) for success. We discuss why effective project management is critical for employee engagement and business success. Most employee disengagement stems from overloaded teams and inefficient processes. In a small business, where workloads are often high, efficiency becomes key—people should spend their time on tasks that truly add value. In this episode, we aim to answer three key questions: Why do we need project managers or Project Management Offices (PMOs)? Why do most projects fail, and how can we fix them? Why do my brilliant ideas never seem to pan out the way I expect? Key Takeaways: What is a PMO (Project Management Office)? Laura breaks down the role of a PMO and why it's essential for businesses of all sizes, especially small teams. Why Projects Fail Laura highlights common reasons projects fail, including lack of clarity on business goals and failure to prioritize effectively. The IMPACT Engine System Laura shares how her IMPACT Engine system can help organizations drive successful projects. Methodology Debate: Agile vs. Waterfall Laura provides a fresh perspective on project management methodologies like Agile and Waterfall. The Strategy Execution Gap Laura explains why organizations often struggle to close this gap and offers solutions on how to integrate strategy development and execution for smoother outcomes.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Today is election day in the United States and yesterday, the Israel Democracy Institute released a poll of some 750 Israelis — Jews and Arabs — and asked, “In terms of Israel's interests, which of the two candidates for the US presidency would be better?” Horovitz weighs in on the response and some of the factors that went into the responses. The IDF will be sending out another 7,000 draft orders to members of the ultra-Orthodox community next week and as of this morning, we are hearing that the coalition may have lost the votes it needs to pass the controversial so-called Daycare Law being pushed by the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party to preserve subsidies for Haredi draft-evaders. We hear which politicians are dissenting and what this symbolizes. Investigators suspect that the theft of classified intelligence documents from Israel Defense Forces databases and the transfer of those files to people in the Prime Minister's Office was “systematic,” and the publication of one such document in foreign media is a source of “ongoing” danger to the lives of both soldiers and hostages in Gaza. Horovitz updates us on new details of the continuing investigation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly ordered that a “solution” be found for Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara's “adversarial” relationship with his government, as ministers railed against her office and called for her ouster Monday. We learn how this comment was somewhat pulled back by the prime minister and why. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Poll: Some 65% of Israelis believe Trump victory would be best for Israel Senior Likud MK says he won't back daycare subsidies bill for Haredi draft-evaders Theft of sensitive IDF intel, transfer to ‘people at PMO' was ‘systematic' – report Netanyahu demands ‘solution' to ‘adversarial' AG as ministers call for her ouster Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

AUDIO QUALITY NOTICE!  Apologies, we have a little static on one of the mics during our recording - sorry for the occasional audio issue.  As a project manager, an organizational structure that will have a big impact on your life is the PMO. But if you aren't used to working with a PMO, what should you expect? Are they going to make your life and projects easier, or crush you with red tape? If you are interviewing for a job where they have a PMO, what questions should you ask to get a better understanding of how they work? And, what should you expect from a PMO - and what are they expecting from you?  With all these questions, we thought we should reach out to a couple of the most well known minds in PMO: Lindsay Scott and Eileen Roden.
