Podcasts about Ravin

Drawing on their professional and academic experience, Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau argue the current work “operating system” is increasingly unable to meet the needs of employees and employers. They join the Talent Angle to discuss their new book, Work Without Jobs: How to Reboot Your Organization's Work Operating System, and the opportunities for HR to shape a new vision for the future of work. Jesuthasan and Boudreau propose a new work “operating system” based on deconstructed work and deconstructed talent that would ultimately lead to a more human-centric approach to work. In their new vision for the future of work, they emphasize the importance of developing capabilities that will enable organizations to redesign and reinvent work and the employee experience. Ravin Jesuthasan is the global leader of Mercer's Transformation Services business.  He has led multiple research efforts on the global workforce, the emerging digital economy, the rise of artificial intelligence and the transformation of work.

Today's daf is sponsored by Avi Yonitzman for finishing Mashechet Shekalim. "I've now closed the gap from Berakhot to Shekalim and may we be zoche to finishing the 14th cycle together." Today's daf is sponsored for a refuah shleima to Pesha Etel bat Sara. If a man engages in intercourse with a gentile woman, a zealot can kill him if they are still engaged in the act. Rav Kahana asked Rav what punishment is given if a zealot did not kill him at the time of the act. Rav did not remember, but Rav Kahana heard a verse from Malachi 2:11 in a dream and when he recounted it to Rav, Rav remembered that the person gets karet, death by the hands of God. Rabbi Chiya bar Avuya taught that one who engages in relations with a gentile woman is as if he married an idol, as he derived from the verse Rav Kahana heard in his dream. He also brought a story about the skull of Yehoyakim that would not be buried and was subsequently burned, which he derived from a verse in Yirmiyahi 22:19. The Hasmonean court made a decree that one who engages in relations with a gentile woman could be liable for four violations. Rav Dimi and Ravin disagreed about which four. Both Rav Chisda and Rabbi Yochanan explained that even though a zealot can kill a man who engages in relations with a gentile woman, if one consults with the court about it, the court will not tell the person to kill. The person is also not permitted to kill once the couple is no longer engaged in relations. And if the man engaged in relations kills the zealot, he is not liable as the zealot is considered a rodef. The Gemara recounts the story of Pinchas killing Zimri and Cosbi and elaborates on the details provided in the Torah. Rav Acha asked Rav Sheshet is a kohen who serves while impure punished by death by the hands of God? Can the answer be found in our Mishna?

In this episode of the AI Evolution podcast, Adriana O'Kain and Ravin Jesuthasan discuss the transformative impact of AI on the workforce. They explore the shift from a technology-focused approach to a work-backwards strategy, emphasizing the importance of redesigning work to capture ROI. The conversation highlights the evolving role of HR in integrating AI solutions and the necessary mindset and skills for success in an AI-augmented world. Ravin shares insights on practical examples and the critical need for organizations to adapt to the changing landscape of work.Takeaways Organizations must adopt a work-backwards approach to AI integration. Redesigning work can lead to significant ROI improvements. HR plays a crucial role in orchestrating AI and human collaboration. Mindset shifts are essential for embracing AI technologies. Skills development is critical for navigating the AI landscape. AI should be seen as a partner in the workforce, not just a tool. Continuous learning and adaptation are necessary in the AI era. Understanding elemental tasks is key to effective AI deployment. Organizations need to decouple growth from resource intensity. Curiosity and openness to change are vital for success.

Ravin AI is revolutionizing vehicle damage assessment through AI-powered remote inspection technology. With $35 million in funding, Ravin AI has evolved from a Shell innovation project to a leading provider of AI-powered vehicle inspection solutions for insurance companies and fleets. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Eliron Ekstein, CEO & Co-Founder of Ravin AI about the company's journey from experimental technology to enterprise-grade solution, including their strategic pivots during COVID and their approach to building critical partnerships in the insurtech space. Topics Discussed: Evolution from experimental technology to enterprise solution Strategic market pivots from car rental to insurance Enterprise partnership strategy and execution Product development in deep tech environments Go-to-market approach in relationship-driven industries Future of vehicle damage assessment and repair GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Validate technology before market fit: In deep tech, Eliron focused first on validating that the core technology worked before seeking product-market fit. He emphasized a two-step validation process: "The first question we answered was, does it work? Then the second question is, does it matter to somebody?" This approach helped them avoid investing resources in market development before having a viable technical solution. Use anchor customers strategically: Ravin secured Avis Budget as their first POC customer, demonstrating the power of landing a recognized brand early. However, Eliron notes that the value goes beyond the logo: "They first need to believe in you as a person... they know that you don't really have a fully working product and it doesn't have validation elsewhere. So they just need to believe that this is going to work." Approach partnerships with clear deployment criteria: Eliron shared a critical framework for evaluating partnerships: "Will they deploy your product at scale, yes or no?" He advises founders to be willing to make painful concessions on exclusivity and pricing if the partner will drive real deployment, while avoiding partners who might engage simply to block competition. Navigate market transitions through product flexibility: When COVID impacted their car rental market, Ravin pivoted to used car assessments and eventually insurance. Eliron emphasizes the importance of maintaining product flexibility: "Product decisions are pretty hard because you have such limited resource and you cannot afford to make too many mistakes." Build market presence through strategic geographical expansion: Their entry into the Australian market through IAG partnership demonstrates how to build presence in new territories: "Getting that first partner in the market... opened the door for us because suddenly you go into conferences and you speak to people everybody knows the name." //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Today's daf is sponsored by Shulamith and Joel Cohn in loving memory of "Bubby," Rebbitzen Esther Predmesky whose yahrzeit is today, asara b'tevet. Today's day is sponsored by the Hadran Women of Long Island in honor of the birth of a grandson, son of Naomi and Dani Weinberger, to our friend and co-learner, Deena Rabinovich. "May the entire family enjoy much nachat from the new arrival as he grows l'Torah (and l'daf), l'chuppa and l'maasim tovim.  May we all continue to celebrate smachot "ad beli dai." Ravin brings (in the name of Rabbi Yochanan) a fourth explanation for Rabbi Meir's position that allows litigants to disqualify witnesses. Reish Lakish's choice of words showed respect for Rabbi Meir, which leads the Gemara into a broader discussion about scholarly respect for one another. Through various interpretations of verses (primarily from Zechariah), the Gemara contrasts the behavior of scholars in Israel and Babylonia. The Israeli rabbis are portrayed as having mutual respect, while the Babylonian rabbis are described as lacking such respect. The text then explores complex scenarios about litigant rights. If someone accepts a single witness, a relative of the opposing party as witness or judge, or agrees to a weaker oath than required, can they later change their mind? This raises questions about whether this debate applies only to cases where the litigant is forgiving a claim (making it more likely they intended to commit to the outcome), or even to cases where they must pay (less likely they intended to commit). There's also discussion about whether this applies before or after the court's ruling. Who is disqualified from being a witness?  Why is someone who gambled not allowed to testify - is it because of asmachta (problematic conditional commitments) or because not having legitimate employment raises concerns they might be bribed to give false testimony?

This episode is brought to you by the Resilience Assessment Certification Program and hosted by Brad Hook. Order your copy of Brad's new book, Start With Values, now! The guest: Ravin Jesuthasan is a global leader in workforce transformation at Mercer, recognized among the 25 most influential consultants by Consulting Magazine and one of the leading management thinkers by Thinkers 50. An author of six books, including Work Without Jobs and The Skills-Powered Organization, Ravin is at the forefront of reshaping how organizations approach AI, human capital, and the evolution of work. Connect with Ravin: Website: ravinjesuthasan.com Mercer Resources: mercer.com Books: The Skills-Powered Organization, Work Without Jobs In this episode, Ravin Jesuthasan dives into the rapid transformation of work, fueled by AI, automation, and evolving people strategies. He shares insights on building resilient organizations, integrating technology into workforce planning, and the changing role of leadership in a world of uncertainty. Ravin also explores how companies can adapt to these shifts by embracing agility, fostering a culture of learning, and aligning technology with human potential. Key Takeaways: 1. Evolving People Strategies: Traditional models no longer work. Companies must integrate AI and automation into talent strategies while embracing flexible workforces like gig workers and outsourced teams. 2. AI's Role in Work: Transactional tasks are being automated, expertise work is enhanced by AI, and relational tasks still rely on human empathy, though AI can augment communication. 3. Resilience in Leadership: Leaders must focus on certainties, embed learning and wellbeing into workflows, and build emotional connections with their teams to handle uncertainty. 4. Skills Over Roles: Skills are the new currency in the workplace. Reskilling current employees is often more effective than hiring new talent. 5. Culture as Structure: As organizations flatten, culture replaces hierarchy, driving alignment, trust, and shared purpose in the workplace. 6. Workplace Wellbeing: Intentional design, like the "right to disconnect," improves performance and prevents burnout. Practical Applications: For Leaders: Develop AI fluency and use technology to enhance, not replace, human potential. For HR Professionals: Redesign people strategies to include automation, flexible work models, and multi-generational talent. For Organizations: Build cultures that prioritize trust, adaptability, and intentionality in wellbeing initiatives.

Hugo speaks with Ravin Kumar, Senior Research Data Scientist at Google Labs. Ravin's career has taken him from building rockets at SpaceX to driving data science and technology at Sweetgreen, and now to advancing generative AI research and applications at Google Labs and DeepMind. His multidisciplinary experience gives him a rare perspective on building AI systems that combine technical rigor with practical utility. In this episode, we dive into: • Ravin's fascinating career path, including the skills and mindsets needed to work effectively with AI and machine learning models at different stages of the pipeline. • How to build generative AI systems that are scalable, reliable, and aligned with user needs. • Real-world applications of generative AI, such as using open weight models such as Gemma to help a bakery streamline operations—an example of delivering tangible business value through AI. • The critical role of UX in AI adoption, and how Ravin approaches designing tools like Notebook LM with the user journey in mind. We also include a live demo where Ravin uses Notebook LM to analyze my website, extract insights, and even generate a podcast-style conversation about me. While some of the demo is visual, much can be appreciated through audio, and we've added a link to the video in the show notes for those who want to see it in action.

Today's daf is sponsored by Diana Bloom in loving memory of her Zayde, Israel (Ignacio) Marmurek on his 41st yahrzeit.  Today's daf is sponsored by Rhona Fink in honor of our fellow Daf learner Elana Weinberg and her husband Rabbi Brahm Weinberg on the occasion of the Bar Mitzvah of their son Joseph Asher in Silver Spring, Maryland, Parshat Vayera, this past Shabbat. "Joseph is already following in the footsteps of his parents with his demonstration of confidence, knowledge, and humility." After a betrothal, a groom would bring gifts to the bride called sivlonot. If the marriage was canceled, under what circumstances would the sivlonot be returned? This depends on what kinds of gifts were given (perishable or long-lasting), whether they were (small) gifts meant to be used in her father's house or (large) gifts for the couple's future home. If the groom ate in her father's home when bringing the gift, he would not be able to retrieve the gifts. What if the husband drank but did not eat, or ate outside the house, or the husband's messenger ate the food? If the groom ate less than a dinar's worth, can he claim back all the presents or only a percentage? If the gift went up in value and was then returned, who gets the enhanced value? Rava asks: If the gifts were to be consumed, but were not yet consumed when the marriage was canceled, are they returned? Almost all these questions remain unanswered. Two stories are brought relating a situation that happened with an engaged couple. In one, the husband sent gifts and in the other, there was a rumor that the bride had no sense of smell and the groom wanted to cancel the betrothal, but he tested her to see if it was true, and it was not. Each comes to teach something unique either about Israel or about a claim a husband could make and whether it would be accepted. Ravin ruled that even though we distinguished between perishable and non-perishable gifts, this distinction does not hold if the woman is the cause of the canceled wedding. In that case, all gifts are returned, even a bundle of vegetables. What assumptions can be made about a declaration on one's deathbed? A distinction is made between one who gives away all of their possessions and one who only gives away part. If they gave it all away, it is assumed they thought they were dying. Therefore, if they heal, the gift is ineffective. If only part were given away, the gift would be effective.  This is based on an "umdana" - an assessment of their intent. The Gemara tries to match the opinion in our Mishna to tannaim who said the same thing regarding other cases in other places to determine who is the author of the Mishna.

This week on DisrupTV, we interviewed Kirstie Papworth, author of Compassionate Leadership and Ravin Jesuthasan, co-author of The Skills-Powered Organization: The Journey to the Next-Generation Enterprise. Papworth emphasized the misconception that compassionate leadership is weak, citing research showing that compassionate leaders foster higher employee engagement and retention. Jesuthasan highlighted the rapid shift in skill premiums due to #AI and the climate crisis, stressing the need for organizations to re-skill and up-skill their workforce. He outlined three core capabilities for effective skill development: understanding demand signals, translating gaps into priorities, and deploying skills productively. Both authors emphasized the importance of intentional, continuous learning and development. DisrupTV is a weekly podcast with hosts R "Ray" Wang and Vala Afshar. The show airs live at 11:00 a.m. PT/ 2:00 p.m. ET every Friday. Brought to you by Constellation Executive Network: constellationr.com/CEN.

Welcome to episode #956 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Ravin Jesuthasan is a global thought leader, futurist, and bestselling author who has dedicated his career to exploring the future of work, AI, and workforce transformation. As the Senior Partner and Global Leader for Transformation Services at Mercer, he has collaborated with some of the world's most influential organizations to help them navigate the rapidly changing landscape of work. Ravin has led significant research projects for the World Economic Forum, focusing on topics like digital media's impact on society, talent strategies in the fourth industrial revolution, and redefining the value of human capital in the new world of work. In this conversation, Ravin delves into his latest book, The Skills-Powered Organization - The Journey To The Next Generation Enterprise that he co-authord with Tanuj Kapilashrami (check out his other five books). He emphasizes that as AI, climate change, and geopolitical conflicts reshape our world, there's an urgent need for organizations to transition from traditional job-based structures to skills-based models. This shift isn't just a minor adjustment - it requires rethinking how work is organized and how talent connects to it. By focusing on skills as the new currency of work, organizations can become more agile, resilient, and adaptable. Ravin shares compelling examples of how AI is already transforming industries like healthcare and financial services. As AI takes over more technical tasks, transferable skills - like empathy, creativity, and critical thinking become increasingly important. The Skills-Powered Organization serves as a practical guide for leaders looking to navigate this transition. Ravin provides a step-by-step roadmap, discussing critical organizational capabilities, the transformative changes required, and the role of AI in accelerating this journey. He also examines how this shift enables a more seamless talent ecosystem, blending various types of employee and non-employee labor. Whether you're a leader seeking to future-proof your organization or an individual aiming to stay relevant in a rapidly changing job market, Ravin's insights offer valuable guidance on embracing the next generation of work.

Cal comes across a survey that indicates that six out of every 10 workers will require AI training before 2027. And that only half of those workers may have access to the necessary training opportunities.

But the author of The Skills-Powered Organization takes Cal and the conversation much deeper. Listen up. It's important.

If a landowner expects the sharecropper to plant a certain crop, can the sharecropper change to a different crop? This question hinges on whether the change benefits or harms the field in the long term. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel disagrees with the rabbis and forbids any change. The Gemara suggests possible explanations of why he forbids it. The first explanation is rejected but the second is accepted. Rav Yehuda teaches Ravin three halakhot/advice regarding fields. One can steal cress that grows between flax plants, as it is detrimental to the growth of the flax. Another teaching addresses trees that grow on the border between two neighbors, explaining who has the right to eat the fruits and on what does it depend. Additionally, he advises that it is best not to have a field close to the city. There are contradictory sources regarding whether or not it is preferable to have fields close to the city. One source says it will bring an ayin hara, implying that proximity to the city might attract jealousy or negative attention. Another source says it is preferable as it is convenient, providing easier access. The reconciliation of these sources depends on whether one has put up a wall around the field, blocking the view of others. Verses from Devarim 28:3 and 6 regarding blessings that come upon a person in the city, in the field, when returning home and when leaving, are extrapolated with advice and recommendations. These verses provide practical guidance for living a blessed and healthy life. Five explanations are brought for the verse in Devarim 7:15 - "God will remove all disease" - to elucidate what is meant by "all disease." Rav says it refers to the ayin hara. Shmuel says it is the wind that gets into the body. Rabbi Chanina says it is the cold. Rabbi Yosi son of Rabbi Chanina says it is excrement of the nose and ear. Rabbi Eliezer says it is the gall bladder. If one eats bread and water in the morning, it prevents sickness of the gall bladder. They attribute thirteen benefits to eating bread in the morning, highlighting this practice's importance in maintaining health. Rav Yehuda advised Rav Ada who was a measurer. Make sure to be exacting, as any piece of land, even small, can be used to plant something valuable. Four cubits of space should be left bare near the irrigation channel, but since it is only for individual use, one can estimate it, and it can be even less than four cubits. However, on the edge of one's field near the side of the river, one must leave four cubits of space for public use and should estimate generously. Those who own land near the river should cut all trees along the river's edge to allow those who pull in the boats to have space to do so.
