A Future of Finance Interview with Richard Brown, Chief Technology and Product Officer at R3.R3 celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Richard G. Brown, R3's Chief Technology and Product Officer, speaks to Bob Currie about the drivers for Corda's design, how these are changing, and how far the company has fulfilled the targets that it envisaged at formation. The discussion explores the potential for convergence of private and public blockchain ecosystems, thereby potentially making a wider range of higher-quality assets available to DeFi investors and tapping into a large pool of demand and liquidity sitting on public blockchain. But what can we say at this stage about the mechanics of building this cross-chain interoperability?In bringing real-world assets to DeFi, we examine how to retain the simplicity and accessibility of permissionless chains while accommodating TradFi's complex lifecycles and risk protocols.In delivering convergence of public and private ecosystems, we address the difficulties in ensuring that financial institutions, and their regulators, are comfortable in transacting with investors or counterparties operating in a public ecosystem. What are the challenges in delivering the institutional-standard security and finality that these FIs will continue to expect? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"We've moved from big bundles to à la carte chaos—there's a middle ground that offers real value and differentiation," says Chad Dunavant, EVP & Chief Strategy and Product Officer at CSG. Subscription-based services have reshaped the way businesses generate revenue and how consumers engage with brands. But has the explosion of subscriptions created more frustration than convenience? Chad joins Technology Reseller News to discuss the next evolution of subscriptions, telecom monetization, and customer engagement. The Subscription Economy: A Double-Edged Sword Subscription models provide businesses with predictable, recurring revenue streams, allowing them to scale efficiently. Consumers originally embraced subscriptions for their flexibility and ease of use. However, as Dunavant points out, many customers now find themselves drowning in multiple subscriptions, leading to frustration, bill confusion, and declining brand loyalty. From Bundles to Fragmentation – The shift from cable TV mega-bundles to fragmented streaming services has created consumer fatigue. Confusion & Lack of Transparency – Many customers are unaware of price increases or struggle to manage multiple services. Loyalty at Risk – Brands must balance monetization with clear value propositions or risk losing long-term customers. Telecoms & The New Opportunity in Subscription Monetization As telecom providers move beyond connectivity, they are uniquely positioned to bundle value-added services like streaming, cloud solutions, and enterprise tools. Dunavant highlights how telcos can use their scale to negotiate wholesale partnerships with digital service providers, creating discounted, frictionless experiences for consumers. Power of Wholesale Agreements – Telecom providers can secure better pricing for consumers by bundling third-party services with connectivity. Monetization Beyond Connectivity – New revenue streams include integrated streaming, cloud apps, and AI-driven services. Personalized Engagement & Billing – AI-powered billing solutions can proactively notify customers of changes, reducing call center frustration.

Xmas Special: Breaking Down the Wall Between Product and Engineering With Vasco Duarte In the second episode of the “5 Wishes for 2025” series, Vasco Duarte tackles one of the most persistent and damaging divides in software development: the wall between Product and Engineering teams. Through stories, metaphors, and real-world examples, Vasco challenges the status quo and paints a vision for seamless collaboration that drives innovation and value. The Invisible Walls Holding Us Back “It's like having the ingredients and the recipe in separate rooms – how are you supposed to cook something amazing?” Vasco begins by highlighting the invisible barriers that still exist between Product and Engineering teams in many organizations. These divisions stifle innovation and slow progress. Drawing parallels to outdated structures, Vasco recounts the struggle to integrate Product Owners into Scrum teams and how that barely scratched the surface of the larger issue. He calls for a broader perspective: aligning the creative potential of engineering with the customer insights of product management to unlock real innovation. Lessons From the Field: Breaking Down Barriers 1. The Experiments-Only Team “Not the mad scientist kind, but real, product-focused experiments that bring technical innovation and product leadership together.” Vasco shares the success story of a client who created a dedicated experiments team. By combining technical expertise with clear product direction, they delivered rapid, value-driven results. This approach demonstrates the power of collaboration in turning ideas into impactful solutions. 2. Bottom-Up Product Planning “For the first time, Product and Engineering co-created a plan that aligned with strategic goals – no more top-down directives or forced OKRs!” Another client reimagined their product planning process after attending a workshop. Instead of cascading initiatives from the top, they worked collaboratively from the ground up. This innovative approach allowed them to align with company goals while fostering ownership and creativity across teams. The CTPO: A Glimpse Into the Future “It's like they turned the wall between Product and Engineering into a large living room where everyone works together.” Vasco highlights an inspiring case from Berlin, where a company merged technical and product leadership into a single CTPO (Chief Technical and Product Officer) role. This structure bridges the gap, ensuring that both technical possibilities and customer needs are seamlessly aligned. Catch Vasco's interview with this trailblazing CTPO in the show notes to explore how this innovative approach is reshaping their organization. A Wish for 2025: Common Rooms, Not Walls “Product and Engineering are like coffee and milk – different, but together they make something special.” Vasco's vision for 2025 is a world where Product and Engineering work side-by-side in shared spaces of collaboration and value creation. He calls for a shift from siloed teams to integrated partnerships where both groups speak the same language – the language of value and impact. The companies that embrace this shift will be the leaders of tomorrow, delivering innovation at the speed of market change. Join the Conversation at the Global Agile Summit 2025 “Innovation flows as freely as coffee at a developer conference when Product and Engineering collaborate.” Vasco invites listeners to experience this transformation firsthand at the Global Agile Summit 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia. The summit will showcase real-world examples of organizations successfully adopting flow-based software delivery. For holiday listeners, Vasco has a special gift: a Super Early Bird ticket with a 75% discount.

Over a decade ago, Marc Andreessen said that software was eating the world and today we could easily say that open source is eating the software world. It's widely adopted and deployed and has become a key element of the IT landscape. The last year has seen some players shifting their approaches to the market, but have these affected the fundamental values of the open source community? Dr. Thomas Di Giacomo, Chief Technical and Product Officer at SUSE and Cloud Native Computing Foundation board member, joins host Eric Hanselman at the SUSECON conference to talk about some of the dynamics of the open source market. Enterprises are leveraging open source to reduce risk in experimentation and tapping into the innovations that are coming out of the open source community. It's not always a simple path, but it's one that more are finding attractive, particularly in light of upheavals in the proprietary markets.

In this episode, Blythe and Oana Jinga, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial and Product Officer at Dexory, discuss the company's tall, autonomous robotics solution that collects granular data from warehouses to create a dynamic digital twin environment. Jinga shares insights on leveraging this data for optimization, consolidating product locations, identifying discrepancies with WMS systems, and orchestrating other robotics operations.LINKS:Oana's LinkedInDexory's WebsiteQUOTES:"The way we look at a digital twin is like it's a dynamic and living and breathing digital object. So it needs to be able to show you at any point in time, what's the latest that's happening in the physical world [of your warehouse], how that's evolving, and what factors are influencing that change." - Oana Jinga "The robot is there to collect information. But what you can do with that information, is pretty much limitless. You can extract data and different points, you can compare it with other data sources, you can crunch it, you can use it for simulation for forecasting, and so on." - Oana Jinga "So when we say a digital twin of a warehouse, we literally mean like this digital environment that changes continuously as the warehouse changes, and that you can also then use in the future, like if you do want to simulate and try different scenarios." - Oana Jinga "From our perspective, we use the robot to get data continuously from warehouses to push them into that digital twin and show as close to reality as possible what's going on." - Oana Jinga "We take continuous pictures of the racks, and then we deconstruct those and can use computer vision. And again, some elements of machine learning to see what we're seeing in that data." - Oana JingaWATCH THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback? Ideas for a future episode?

That's why I'd like to tell you about the online math curriculum we've been using for years – CTCMath.com. As far as math curriculums go, it has loads of great features that solve lots of the math issues we've had and I know a lot of homeschooling families have. Here are a few of the features (from the many) that we really like: Questions are adaptive which means the interactive questions change in difficulty depending on the student's ability. They use a smart algorithm that tracks the student's progress and delivers questions based on their unique needs. The student doesn't even know this is happening, helping them to build confidence and master concepts! Concepts are delivered through video tutorials and summaries which are clear, complete, and easy to follow [like having your very own teacher]. This ensures your children understand something before they're asked to practise it. And then for us parents, CTCMath has: Extensive reports which are valuable in monitoring your child's progress and spotting any gaps. And they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee if this curriculum is not for you and your family. CTCMath will provide a full refund, no questions asked.

By Adam Turteltaub Imagine you are at a large company with thousands of suppliers. As a part of the compliance team you need to understand the risk of working with each and every one of them. To do that you may need to understand the ownership structure, where they source materials, where and how they manufacture, and a host of other data about each and every one of them. That's a daunting task. It's also one that Jenna Wells, Chief Customer and Product Officer at Supply Wisdom believes is ideally suited for AI. With human supervision it can help with such a large, seemingly impossible undertaking. AI, she argues, can be an effective tool for enabling compliance programs to better understand the risks they face and then focus on the most important ones. To get there, compliance teams need to get a handle on the data that they have that is normally siloed. Look to external sources for regulatory data and emerging legislation, she suggests. At the same time, though, it's important to understand the limitations of AI. While it can handle the brute force exercises, such as combing through all the data on all those vendors, there is still a need for the human element. Listen in to learn more about putting the power of AI to work for your compliance efforts.

We are wheels up to NYC, but not before a little tour around the world of auto. We are looking at how Nissan is setting up for a model release onslaught, Fisker running out of runway, and Starbucks thinking Locally Global.Show Notes with links:Nissan announced a sweeping three-year strategy, introducing e-Power hybrid tech in the U.S., launching seven new models in North America, and aiming for a significant sales boost.CEO Makoto Uchida unveiled ambitious plans to boost global sales by 1 million vehicles, deploy advanced battery technologies, and cut the cost of EVs by 30% to achieve cost parity with internal combustion vehicles by 2030.The plan, named "The Arc," aims to revitalize Nissan through radical changes, including launching 30 new models globally over the next three years, with a focus on electrification and innovation."We must make radical changes to become a sustainable company. Disruption is the new normal. We aim to recover volume and drive profit," says CEO Makoto Uchida, emphasizing the necessity for drastic shifts in Nissan's approach to car manufacturing and sales.Fisker's negotiations with Nissan have abruptly ended, throwing the electric-vehicle startup into turmoil. With its shares halted and bankruptcy looming, Fisker is frantically seeking strategic solutions.The company is exploring in- or out-of-court restructurings and capital markets transactions to salvage its situation.Thomas Hayes of Great Hill Capital warns of the growing likelihood of Fisker filing for bankruptcy protection, potentially marking Henrik Fisker's second failed auto startup.Amidst fundraising challenges and less than $100 million in market valuation, Fisker struggled with continual supply chain issues, production delays, and a recent poor review of the Ocean from YouTube influencer Marques Brownlee Fisker's attempt to raise up to $150 million by selling convertible notes has fallen through after missing a crucial interest payment."I can't put it if it is next week or next year, but it is inevitable," Thomas Hayes, Chairman at Great Hill Capital, on the chances of Fisker filing for bankruptcy.Starbucks has promoted Brady Brewer from Global CMO to CEO of its international business, signaling the end of the traditional CMO role within the company. This strategic move is part of a broader trend among major companies reevaluating the role of marketing in their organizational structure.Starbucks is shifting to a regional CEO model with localized marketing support, emphasizing tailored marketing strategies.Two new marketing roles are introduced: an EVP, Chief Merchant and Product Officer for global product strategy, and a Global Brand Creative Leader to oversee the brand's global identity.This change aligns with Starbucks' "Triple Shot Reinvention" plan, aiming to expand its store footprint and double its Starbucks Rewards members by 2030.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In this captivating episode, we sit down with Robin Daniels, the Chief Business and Product Officer at LMS365, to embark on a profound exploration of thought leadership in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and software companies. With a career adorned with pivotal roles in various tech enterprises, Robin brings forth a wealth of experience and insights. Throughout the discussion, Robin unveils the pivotal role that thought leadership plays in the trajectory of tech firms. He emphasizes the transcendence of competition beyond mere product features, underscoring the imperative for companies to anchor themselves in a higher purpose. It's this alignment with a broader mission, Robin suggests, that fosters enduring connections with customers and stakeholders. A particularly enlightening segment of the discussion revolves around the role of internal champions in driving organizational success.  Robin shares how cultivating a culture of empowerment and trust can transform employees into passionate advocates for the company's vision. These internal evangelists, he argues, are instrumental in securing high-stakes deals and fostering organic growth. Three Key Takeaways: * Companies often compete at the feature or product level, but if you want to stand the test of time you have to stand for something bigger. * Moving from evangelizing to evangelizing through is a massive step, that takes time and trust but can have huge rewards. * People are social media are not looking to be sold to.  If you want your thought leadership to catch on find the things you are passionate and knowledgable about and speak to those.

In this episode, I'm chatting with former Gartner analyst Sanjeev Mohan who is the Co-Author of Data Products for Dummies. Throughout our conversation, Sanjeev shares his expertise on the evolution of data products, and what he's seen as a result of implementing practices that prioritize solving for use cases and business value. Sanjeev also shares a new approach of structuring organizations to best implement ownership and accountability of data product outcomes. Sanjeev and I also explore the common challenges of product adoption and who is responsible for user experience. I purposefully had Sanjeev on the show because I think we have pretty different perspectives from which we see the data product space. Highlights/ Skip to: I introduce Sanjeev Mohan, co-author of Data Products for Dummies (00:39) Sanjeev expands more on the concept of writing a “for Dummies” book   (00:53) Sanjeev shares his definition of a data product, including both a technical and a business definition (01:59) Why Sanjeev believes organizational changes and accountability are the keys to preventing the acceleration of shipping data products with little to no tangible value (05:45) How Sanjeev recommends getting buy-in for data product ownership from other departments in an organization (11:05) Sanjeev and I explore adoption challenges and the topic of user experience (13:23) Sanjeev explains what role is responsible for user experience and design (19:03) Who should be responsible for defining the metrics that determine business value (28:58) Sanjeev shares some case studies of companies who have adopted this approach to data products and their outcomes (30:29) Where companies are finding data product managers currently (34:19) Sanjeev expands on his perspective regarding the importance of prioritizing business value and use cases (40:52) Where listeners can get Data Products for Dummies, and learn more about Sanjeev's work (44:33) Quotes from Today's Episode “You may slap a label of data product on existing artifact; it does not make it a data product because there's no sense of accountability. In a data product, because they are following product management best practices, there must be a data product owner or a data product manager. There's a single person [responsible for the result]. — Sanjeev Mohan (09:31) “I haven't even mentioned the word data mesh because data mesh and data products, they don't always have to go hand-in-hand. I can build data products, but I don't need to go into the—do all of data mesh principles.” – Sanjeev Mohan (26:45) “We need to have the right organization, we need to have a set of processes, and then we need a simplified technology which is standardized across different teams. So, this way, we have the benefit of reusing the same technology. Maybe it is Snowflake for storage, DBT for modeling, and so on. And the idea is that different teams should have the ability to bring their own analytical engine.” – Sanjeev Mohan (27:58) “Generative AI, right now as we are recording, is still in a prototyping phase. Maybe in 2024, it'll go heavy-duty production. We are not in prototyping phase for data products for a lot of companies. They've already been experimenting for a year or two, and now they're actually using them in production. So, we've crossed that tipping point for data products.” – Sanjeev Mohan (33:15) “Low adoption is a problem that's not just limited to data products. How long have we had data catalogs, but they have low adoption. So, it's a common problem.” – Sanjeev Mohan (39:10) “That emphasis on technology first is a wrong approach. I tell people that I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but there are no technology projects, there are only business projects. Technology is an enabler. You don't do technology for the sake of technology; you have to serve a business cause, so let's start with that and keep that front and center.” – Sanjeev Mohan (43:03) Links Data Products for Dummies: https://www.dataops.live/dataproductsfordummies “What Exactly is A Data Product” article: https://medium.com/data-mesh-learning/what-exactly-is-a-data-product-7f6935a17912 It Depends: https://www.youtube.com/@SanjeevMohan Chief Data Analytics and Product Officer of Equifax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFY7WGc-jFM SanjMo Consulting: https://www.sanjmo.com/ dataops.live: https://dataops.live dataops.live/dataproductsfordummies: https://dataops.live/dataproductsfordummies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjmo/ Medium articles: https://sanjmo.medium.com
