This live episode from the 7th Annual Heath IT + Revenue Cycle Conference features Dominic Patete, Financial Analyst at Providence Health Services. Here, he discusses his career, issues that are top of mind to him, and more.

Unlocking strategies to solve complex problems for enterprise clients is at the root of the most successful B2B companies. How to navigate the nuances of this relationship doesn't come easy. Let's explore some insights around how being open-minded and creative can help to overcome roadblocks you may encounter along the way. Since 2007, brands across the world have engaged Crowd Favorite to build and scale their digital initiatives with Open Source frameworks and Digital Strategy Services. With clients ranging from Mitsubishi Power to Providence Health & Services to Victaulic, global digital agency, Crowd Favorite, has prioritized leveraging SaaS and Open Source to offer their clients a useful strategy for their digital transformation journey. Open Source often begins as the hub from which brands want to begin their digital journey, but it took time for this movement to go mainstream, says Karim Marucchi, CEO and Co-Founder of Crowd Favorite in a recent Bold Commerce podcast. He was an early Open Source evangelist for more than a decade when he recognized the value and opportunities this open and decentralized software offered to the enterprise. Enterprise finds Open Source finds WordPress Marucchi favors Open Source, pointing out a key advantage: “The possibilities are endless. Our team is able to create scalable solutions for our clients. As brands continue to grow, these solutions are able to adapt and grow with them.” At the core Open Source solutions provide brands with innovative solutions that can be customized to meet their specific needs. Digital agencies, like Crowd Favorite, have mastered solving business problems for their clients, through creative Open Source solutions. Crowd Favorite has been building their toolbox with enough digital solutions to attract clients, secure work, and bundle Open Source development into their deliverables since their doors opened. As the first WordPress digital agency, they understood the potential Open Source and WordPress offered to enterprise clients. During this time, more and more SaaS business shot up, creating both opportunities and drawbacks. While off the shelf SaaS solutions can be quick or easy to implement, they have great limitations when it comes to customization and scale. Enterprise clients wanted more out-of-the-box options to customize their assets. If they got stuck with one firm's cradle-to-grave suite of software, they were beholden to whatever updates and new features were added in next year's iterations. With Open Source, businesses can accomplish a lot of tasks more quickly, and allow for business growth without limitations Marucchi says. Together, Open Source platforms and SaaS solutions can be stronger together. They invite collaboration and customization with a host of third-party vendors, such as Bold Commerce. On scaling: let your business drive your tech stack What he first tells clients who engage with Crowd Favorite is to think about their business goals and “then let's talk about what's the best for each one of those issues. We always look at your business goals first and then select a technology based on the needs of the business. We don't try to take a square peg and fit it into a round hole.” Discussing working with the enterprise in a recent fireside chat hosted by Bold Commerce, Marucchi also pointed out how Crowd Favorite helps clients visualize how Open Source can be at the core of solving their complex challenges. “Up until now everybody thought they have to lock away all of our data into different SaaS platforms, and they are not going to have any control over customization. We say think of Open Source or CMS as a hub with spokes out to the best-of-breed systems and solutions that are doing exactly what they need to do to make your digital platform work for you.” Shifting customer behavior from a SaaS model to Open Source: according to Red Hat, 90% of IT leaders surveyed use enterprise Open Source, and 79% expect their use of enterprise Ope...

Former Toyota employee and author Episode page with transcript and more My guest for Episode #455 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Ken Pilone.

Ken has a Masters in Industrial Psychology and Organizational Development with his Toyota experience, Ken has developed specialties in Lean consulting in non-production environments, curriculum development and delivery, leadership and management development coaching, Toyota problem solving method training and public speaking. Today, we discuss topics and questions including: Your Lean/TPS origin story? How did you end up at Toyota? How did they train and develop you? What did you have to unlearn? The University of Toyota – purpose for that? Bigger challenge: Translating TPS and Japanese where it's not manufacturing or where it's not Japan? The “Center for Lean Thinking” at Toyota — No heartburn over the word Lean? Why call it that? Was there debate about that? “The Toyota salute” = a shrug (I dunno) TPS = Lean? It depends?? Hard to get Toyota to define TPS — always changing How was Toyota distinguishing between TPS and Lean internally? Copying practices vs. principles? “Single biggest failure mode” = practices & tools and why aren't I getting the same result… “Toyota Traditions” curriculum What inspired you to write the book? 3 step approach — introduction, integration, and internalization? Vs. implementation? The most common or most harmful misinformation out there about Lean and Lean leadership? 5 Whys — why 5 isn't a “rigid rule”? Why could it be seen as “offensive” if somebody describes themselves as a “sensei”?

In this engaging and insightful conversation, Erik talks with Gavin & Zac about the opportunities of population health, how he views the integration of technology into healthcare and what it is like to lead a large healthcare organization through times of politically-caused uncertainty.

In this episode... We revisit some of the topics Eric & I talked about nearly 2 years ago at ISSA International, Baltimore. Eric discusses the paradigm shift that needs to happen in security We talk about shifting resources (in the defensive) from "everything" to something more reasonable Eric and I discuss how CISOs must re-allocate resources to survive in a post-breach reality Guest Eric Cowperthwaite ( @e_cowperthwaite ) - Vice President, Advanced Security and Strategy at CORE Security, a Boston-based security vendor. CORE is the leading provider of predictive security intelligence solutions for enterprises and government organizations.

Synopsis LIVE from day 2 of the ISSA International conference 2012, in Anaheim, California I cornered Eric Cowperthwaite after a much-anticipated year-long wait... and we talked about his prediction that in the next 2 years many of the traditional IT employees will be employed as either business-IT resources in the enterprise, or IT-technical resources at an IT outsource or cloud provider... Eric's predictions tend to be right on the money so it'll be interesting if some of the things he advocates in this microcast come true!  Only time will tell. Guest Eric Cowperthwaite - Eric is the Chief Security Officer at Providence Health & Services, and a strong advocate of pragmatic security.  Eric has a long history from Army Recruiter, to outsource services delivery with EDS, to his many years of service to the ISSA and Providence Health & Services.  In addition to being a good friend and colleague, Eric has a snarky sense of humor, and tends to be not afraid of speaking his mind ... and as it turns out his predictions become reality in the near future.  Eric can be found on Twitter as @e_cowperthwaite, and on LinkedIn.
