As AI reshapes industries at an unprecedented pace, Louis-David Benyayer, associate professor at ESCP Business School and a leading researcher and strategist at the intersection of AI, digital transformation, and knowledge work, joins us on this podcast to discuss what it means for the consulting, education, and knowledge work industries.In this episode, Louis helps us explore how Generative AI has the potential to go much beyond automating tasks and fundamentally shifting business models in two very key industries: Consulting and Professional Education.He emphasizes that "AI will likely not replace human expertise but amplify the best experts. " He also states that hybridizing humans and technology allows for deeper insights and more significant impact.During the episode, Louis-David shares tangible examples from his experience of how these industries are evolving: consulting firms moving away from traditional billable hours toward subscription-based and modular services and universities looking to redefine their role in a world where knowledge is highly accessible, among others.He also highlights how AI amplifies expert consultants while commoditizing baseline knowledge and explores why the most skilled professionals benefit from AI's evolution.So, if you're a consultant, educator, or customer looking to interpret and navigate the complex landscape shifts due to AI, this episode is a must-listen.Key Highlights

Our conversation delves into AIM's collaborative partnerships with various organizations and the development of essential resources aimed at breaking down barriers to disability inclusion within medical education. Through engaging stories and real-life triumphs, we highlight the tangible impact of AIM's efforts, seen through the transformative journeys of individual students and the invaluable support networks they discover. Additionally, we shed light on the personal motivations driving AIM's members, emphasizing the significance of shared learning experiences and the collective desire for increased accessibility. By delving into the principles of mutual learning and community solidarity, we underscore the empowering paths taken by students navigating their disability journeys and stress the importance of challenging biases entrenched within the medical field. Our discussion extends beyond individual experiences to explore the broader societal implications and ethical imperatives surrounding disability inclusion. As we delve into the core of AIM's mission, we urge the wider medical community to actively advocate for accessibility and inclusivity, catalyzing meaningful change by amplifying success stories and critically examining prevailing attitudes and beliefs. Furthermore, we extend an open invitation for professionals outside the AIM Working Group to join this vital conversation and contribute to the collective effort of creating a more inclusive future in medicine.

In this episode, we're diving into the dynamic world of continuing education with Meni Sarris, founder of Spur Education Group and an innovative leader who's making a significant impact on the education landscape. Meni shares his insights on the changing landscape of education and the challenges and opportunities in implementing continuing professional education in traditional institutions. He discusses the personal and professional impact of these programs, offers a successful paralegal certificate program as a motivating example, and emphasizes the importance of buy-in from traditional educational institutions. Get ready to gain valuable insights into the evolving world of education and the entrepreneurial approach to continuing professional education.ABOUT MENIDr. Meni Sarris is a former Dean of Continuing and Professional Education who decided to step away from the Dean's desk to make a bigger impact on the education landscape overall. As a believer in education beyond degrees (also the name of his podcast!), Meni firmly believes the education landscape will continue to evolve because students want more flexibility and personalization when it comes to how they get an education, which isn't always reflected as part of the traditional education model. CPE unlocks options for improving the lives and careers of people who haven't always been able to participate, for whatever reason, in traditional for-credit academic programs.Meni was actually introduced to Continuing and Professional Education as a teenager, and he knew pretty quickly that his educational career path was going to be the combination of education, business, and community service that CPE provides. It wasn't until later, that he realized that CPE can improve life for anyone, at any age, through education.LINKS & RESOURCESVisit Spur Education Group's websiteListen to the Education Beyond Degrees podcastConnect with Meni on LinkedIn

Digital Transformation!  Digital Strategy!  Professional Education!  What do they mean, and how do we implement them in a school?  In today's episode we're very lucky to have on three wonderful guests who operate at the intersection of educational practice and the leveraging of technology for a better learning experience.  They are:   James Symons, CEO, LocknCharge  Katie Novak, Education Strategist, Smart Technologies  Associate Professor Jane Hunter, School of International Studies and Education, University of Technology, Sydney  Each of these guests has a long history of working within the education space, from engineering and installing the hardware and catering to the evolving demands of schools, to leveraging the technology as a communal bridge between parents, teachers and students, and finally to researching and understanding the added value such technologies provide for teachers and learners and how they might successfully incorporate their use into daily practice.  Talking points and questions include:  The evolving demands of the classroom – what futureproofing and future planning exists in each of your spaces to accommodate new trends and developments?  For those catering to the hardware, does the school or college determine what you make, or are they, and the ways their teachers and learners perform, conditioned by you?  What space is there for reciprocity between the EdTech maker and the EdTech user?  Teacher professional education – how important is this?  Surely a learning tool lives and dies by the amount of training and ‘after-sales support' is provided to practitioners?  What is the extent of the refusal by a teacher or department to adopt the technology and how is this overcome?  Is it just waving statistics about time-saving and cost-saving in their faces or is there a form of trust that must be engendered?  Digital strategy – this means different things to different stakeholders.  What are the commonalities that should be agreed upon for successful rollout of technology?  Obviously contextual factors are key to each school, but what are the non-negotiables?  And with regard to developments like generative AI and other future trends we can't even predict yet, what kinds of guardrails need to be in place with teachers, leaders, and the developers of the tech to ensure ongoing supportive relationships with stakeholders.  What foundations should be in place to support digital transformation no matter the bumps in the road ahead?  Material discussed in today's episode includes: LocknCharge classroom solutions to facilite mobile device workflow and management  Improving Access & Outcomes Through Student & Teaching Voice: EdTech Assessment in the Cherry Hill Public Schools Australia and the Digital Education Revolution Jane Hunter: High Possibility STEM Classrooms and Technology Integration and High Possibility Classrooms Smart Technology: EdTech Assessment Tool Uruguay and Ceibal Project

Dr. Ed Chekan is certified in general surgery and is Vice President of Medical Affairs and Professional Education at Asensus Surgical, which is taking the platform of laparoscopic surgery and adding augmented intelligence technology. Laparoscopic surgery currently starts with a digital interface in a video image. Asensus is adding augmented intelligence to the video image in real-time to support the surgeon and surgical team with additional information to improve outcomes and the experience of the clinicians. Ed explains, "We're starting with things already being done. We have a feature that is a digital measurement. This allows the surgeon, if measurement is critical to this portion of the procedure, for instance, in general surgery, we'd say five to six centimeters from the pylorus, to start a staple line in a sleeve gastrectomy. We either estimate that through different ways, or we'd have to put a tape measure inside the patient to measure that distance accurately to get that measurement. So we're doing that now digitally." "We have a telemanipulator. Our Asensus system is currently the second telemanipulator to be approved in the US. And so, we have it in a few centers already. And that integrates into the operating room as separate arms on separate pods or platforms that can be moved around, connected to a cockpit or a console, where the surgeon sits to do the manipulating." "Then, the video feeds feed into our Intelligent Surgical Unit or ISU, and those video images are processed and sent to the cloud. We'll store them, we could annotate them, and we can also use them to influence, in real-time, certain types of feedback based on what would be interpreted from the video image. So, someone else is watching the video. The computer is watching the video, too, to tell you things that are happening." @AsensusSurgical #Asensus #Robotics #DigitalStrategy #Surgery #IntraoperativeClinicalIntelligence #AugmentIntelligence  asensus.com Download the transcript here

This episode features Dr. Robin Grubs, Associate Professor of Human Genetics in the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health. During our conversation, we discuss the nature of genetic counseling and how the field is expanding. We also explore the decision by the genetic counseling profession not to institute a doctorate as the entry-level credential. This decision is quite unlike that made by many health related professions, so we explore how and why they came to this decision.

What is the best way to teach children to read? This question has plagued teachers, administrators, and literacy specialists for decades in the K-12 space. This question is often a highly controversial one, as literacy issues can become caught up in politics — both within the field of education and depending which expert or company or program one is aligned with. This week, we're talking to Dr. Cristina Compton, a former elementary school educator and the Director of Program Development at the Center for Professional Education of Teachers (CPET), and Kelsey Hammond, a former middle school English Language Arts' educator and professional development coach, about the science of reading.

***This episode originally aired on May 18th, 2021***What if I told you that calm isn't best?  Calm isn't what we are working toward!  And prioritizing calm gives other states of the nervous system a bad wrap! Calm is just a byproduct of an attempt to regulate!  In fact, there are risks to focusing on calm as our primary goal. On today's episode, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Lisa Dion, LPC, RPT-S, is an international teacher, creator of Synergetic Play Therapy, founder and President of the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute, and host of the Lessons from the Playroom podcast.  She is the author of Aggression in Play Therapy:  A Neurobiological Approach for Integrating Intensity and is the 2015 recipient of the Association for Play Therapy's Professional Education and Training Award of Excellence.Lisa and I have a lovely time discussing the difference between regulated and calm, including the risks of pretending to be calm when we aren't.  As parents and clinicians who care for kids with a history of trauma, it's important to negotiate ways within ourselves that we can be honest and congruent with our true experiences (maybe we are mad!) while still remaining regulated and offering felt-safety. Wait what?! Regulated and mad?!?!Yup.  Regulated and mad.  Have a listen to see what Lisa has to say about this!You can find more of Lisa's work over at Synergetic Play Therapy Institue, including her book for clinicians, Aggression in Play Therapy.To read the full summary or the full transcript visit: https://robyngobbel.com/lisadion/Over on my website you can find:Masterclass and eBook on What Behavior Really Is (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)Ongoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: Being With*****Not sure where to start?
