Podcasts about reimagining

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Ulrich (Uli) Homann, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft, and Mark Luquire, EY Global Microsoft Alliance Co-innovation Leader, about how to build an agentic AI enterprise that doesn't just work faster, but works smarter and, most importantly, works for everyone. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the past automation has been very task driven and specific, things had to go in a certain order and you needed to know that order ahead of time. While you need some of that with generative AI, we now have a system that can help do some of that thinking, so if things change in the process along the way, you can deal with it. Now you can rethink what processes even need to exist and focus on the outcome and how to get to it in a new way.  By giving everyone at EY access to generative AI a couple of years ago we learned that people were able to accomplish more more quickly. They used it as a thought-partner, used it as a way to fine tune the product they were working on. Being able to see the evolution of generative AI to now where it's coding applications on its own almost, seeing the new agent capabilities and tools, and being able to take action on its own with very little prompting, it opens the doors to possibilities and what you'll be able to do in the future.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Focus on where you want to be and then rethink how you're going to get there, that's the real key.' ‘It's not just an assistant to you, providing you with information, it's actually taking on work it's actually thinking through and processing those things as well.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Ulrich (Uli) Homann is a Corporate Vice President & Distinguished Architect in the Cloud + AI business at Microsoft. As part of the senior engineering leadership team, he's responsible for the customer-led innovation efforts across the cloud and enterprise platform portfolio.

Prior to joining Microsoft in 1991, he worked for several small consulting companies, where he designed and developed distributed systems and has spent most of his career using well-defined applications and architectures to simplify and streamline the development of business applications. Mark Luquire leads the EY organization's global efforts to co-develop innovative solutions with Microsoft and clients, driving growth and accelerating technology strategy. He oversees cross-functional teams spanning sectors and service lines, serving as a key liaison to Microsoft's product and engineering teams. Previously, Mark headed Platform Adoption for EY Global, leading enterprise-wide AI and cloud enablement, including integrating generative AI tools like EYQ, GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Copilot.

We're only at the very beginning of the AI transformation. The next big leap isn't just smarter chatbots, it's AI agents: tools that don't just answer questions but loop, reason, and complete whole tasks within your workflows. In this episode, journalist and author Kamal Ahmed sits down with Aaron Levie, CEO and co-founder of Box, to explain how a strong content and AI strategy enables organisations to rethink how work gets done across their businesses using AI agents. Learn why most companies don't actually have an AI problem but a data problem, how unstructured data is becoming an untapped goldmine, and why governance, trust, and security are just as important as innovation. From experimentation and scaling, to ROI and common pitfalls, this conversation maps out how leaders can move from dabbling with AI to deploying agents that create real value.

"My ideas are often labelled as impossible, or useless, or both. Usually when people say that I'm on the right track."George Church is a geneticist, molecular engineer, and one of the pioneers of modern genomics. He's also someone who makes a habit of finding solutions to the seemingly impossible.Over the course of his career so far, George developed the first method for direct genomic sequencing, helped initiate the Human Genome Project, and founded the Personal Genome Project: making huge quantities of DNA data publicly available for research. Today, as a professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT, he's working on some of the most headline-grabbing - and controversial - science on the planet: from the so-called "de-extinction" of woolly mammoths, to growing transplant-suitable organs in pigs, to virus-proofing humans.When inspiration strikes, there seems to be little that will slow him down - even the fact that he has narcolepsy, the neurological disorder that causes sudden sleep attacks. In fact, as George tells Professor Jim Al-Khalili, some of his best ideas come in those moments between waking and sleep...Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC Studios

The global landscape of education and work is changing at a pace that requires an entirely new approach to measurement. Trending in Education host Mike Palmer welcomes Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS (Educational Testing Service), the organization responsible for millions of assessments worldwide, to discuss the high-stakes transformation of how we identify talent. We explore how the trillion-dollar education sector is struggling to measure outcomes and why reliable data is essential to driving progress. Amit details the foundational work ETS is doing across K-12, higher education, and the workforce to shift the focus from traditional testing to competency-based learning and work-ready skills. We dive deep into the urgency of establishing an AI literacy framework and how technology is powering a new era of "test-less" performance assessments. Why You Should Listen Now: The War for AI Talent: Amit explains why the lack of a common AI literacy framework is a strategic challenge for the U.S. and how other nations are already standardizing AI education for young children. The Crisis of Underemployment: We break down the alarming statistics showing high unemployment and underemployment for new college graduates, highlighting the massive societal and economic pressure to measure job-relevant skills. The Future of Measurement: We get an inside look at how ETS is using AI, data science, and neuroscience to create innovative, personalized assessments that track complex skills like collaboration and communication—moving beyond the multiple-choice bubble sheet. 3 Key Takeaways from Our Conversation: AI Literacy is a New Language: We must introduce the fundamentals of AI to pre-elementary and elementary students to hardwire it as a first language, similar to English or Spanish. Data is the "New Oil": ETS produces over 5 billion data points annually, representing an amazing opportunity to reimagine products and drive social value through technology. The Two-by-Two of Transformation: The future of assessment is moving to measure both emerging skills (like AI and durable skills) and using innovative measurement methods (like performance and AI-enabled assessments). Join us to understand how better measurement is the key to unlocking human potential globally. Like what you hear?

The real challenge for today's HR leaders isn't adopting AI, but ensuring people still feel seen, heard, and valued in a world shaped by it. Today's CHROs face a powerful question: how can we design organizations that are as human as they are high-performing? At Novartis, this challenge sparked a bold rethink of what it means to lead, grow, and belong. In this episode, Rob Kowalski, Chief People and Organization Officer at Novartis, shares how the company is reimagining HR through human-centered experiences that transform culture into a living system. He unpacks Novartis' Inspired, Curious, and Unbossed culture framework, the "behaviors in action" that make culture discussable, and programs like Future Me that redefine career growth through lattices instead of ladders. Rob also explores how storytelling connects every employee—scientists to HR teams—to patient impact, why leaders must balance empowerment with accountability, and how "unbossed" leadership is reshaping management itself. From AI coaching tools to redefining what growth and retention really mean, this conversation gives CHROs a fresh blueprint for building organizations that are truly human by design. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

This week on No One Told Us, Rachael is joined by author and cultural critic Ruth Whippman to talk about her powerful new book, BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity.

Inside this episode….. Ruth's own experience raising 3 boys as a feminist Unhelpful stereotypes like “boys will be boys” and how they harm our children Ruth's opinion on Netflix's show "Adolescence" and its portrayal of modern boyhood Why today's world is a “perfect storm” for young boys and men to be radicalized How do we hold young men accountable without sending them into shame and shutdown? How patriarchy harms both men and women, and Ruth's recommendations for both #boymoms and #boydads And what can we do—today—as parents, to change the story for our little boys? Plus so much more! This episode is for anyone raising boys, loving boys, or trying to understand them in a culture that so often gets masculinity wrong.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Tim and Jill do a deep dive into the Department of Education's (ED) recently held negotiated rulemaking (neg reg) session for the Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) committee. Jill explains the committee's goal to implement multiple provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). From there, the team discusses what happened during the committee's first week-long meeting in September, including debate over what classifies a "professional student." Jill concludes by discussing what's ahead for the committee in November, though it's unclear if the committee will meet under the current government shutdown and what the timeline for implementing these final rules could look like.

In a change-up from previous episodes, Jenny Sinclair interviews her Leaving Egypt co-host Al Roxburgh. Al shares about his journey, first, as a Baptist minister who knew how to renew and grow churches and, later, as a consultant on making churches “missional”. He talks about the significance of Lesslie Newbigin in launching a change in his thinking thirty years ago, a prompt that set him on a journey of reframing his understanding of God's agency in the context of modernity. Changes in Al's thinking and practice have continued over the last ten years—with an emerging clarity that we are living through a change of era. Amid signs of unravelling across the West, he has been drawn to engage with conversation partners around the relationship between church and society. This led him to revisit Catholic thinkers who examine political economy through the lens of the gospel, especially as the impact of economic systems on human flourishing became increasingly serious. Al describes how the Spirit has pushed him outward—away from a church-centric posture and toward a deeper awareness of God at work in the world, particularly in the local. His advice now for church leaders is not to focus on what makes the church work, but on what is going on among people in the places where they live. Through practices of discerning, dwelling, and listening, he urges us all to ask: What does it mean to be God's people here, in this neighbourhood?For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeAlso mentioned in this episode:Paul Weston Humble Confidence: Lesslie Newbigin and the Logic of MissionTim Rogan The Moral Economists: R.

Guest post by Paul Turley, Senior Director, ServiceNow Ireland Traditional customer relationship management (CRM) systems are becoming increasingly obsolete, leaving brands at risk of falling behind the competitive curve. Legacy platforms often create fragmented experiences and frustrated teams by operating in silos. Intelligent CRM is now crucial to unify sales, marketing, service, and operations to deliver seamless customer journeys. To truly transform CRM, organisations must adopt a true AI-first mindset - shifting from digital automation to intelligent, predictive, and proactive engagement. This mindset should be three pronged: rooted in continuous learning, empowered by automation and future-proofed through predictive insight. Business success in the era of AI-driven transformation depends on it. Your customer has changed, why hasn't your technology? We're at an inflection point, with the European CRM market expected to grow to $31.51bn by 2030. Businesses hope to modernise, meaning that CRM can no longer sit in the back office. Leaders need to rethink how they manage customer relationships as part of this, grasping AI as the catalyst for competitive advantage. Sales teams want best-in-class tools that let them self-serve and find qualified leads so that they can quote high-value deals quickly without red tape. At the same time, revenue operations and finance are under pressure to streamline fulfilment, handle contract changes smoothly, and eliminate manual handoffs. Too often though, data silos between marketing and sales systems, challenges with order fulfilment and complex contract changes have stood in the way of this. C-suite leaders across Europe and EMEA more broadly are starting to recognise that simply digitalisation processes won't deliver the customer experiences that set them apart from the competition. EMEA businesses, particularly in sectors like telecoms, finance, and manufacturing, are increasingly investing in agentic AI-enabled CRM to elevate customer experience and drive loyalty. Applying an AI mindset in practice Generative and agentic AI are becoming established as major value drivers in customer relationship management, with measurable impact on key KPIs such as cost reduction, faster resolution times, lower customer effort, and improved satisfaction. With agentic AI, ServiceNow is achieving 84% customer self-service and a threefold improvement in case deflection, saving support teams 400,000 labour hours. At the heart of this evolution is a shift in thinking, reimagining CRM as a living, learning system of action. This AI mindset is rooted in three core principles: 1. Continuous learning: Rather than remaining static, modern CRM systems are designed to evolve with every interaction. They gather and analyse data over time, enabling the system to become smarter, more responsive, and better attuned to customer needs. This is real-time data that can drive fast decisions and eliminate guesswork. 2. Automation: By removing repetitive and manual tasks, automation allows teams to focus on more meaningful, high-value work. This not only improves efficiency but also enables deeper, more purposeful engagement with customers. 3. Predictive insight: AI gives businesses the ability to anticipate customer needs before they arise, using data-led signals to tailor experiences and services at scale. At a macro level, this enables automatic work order creation, intelligent scheduling and dispatch, proactive service, and AI-driven process mining. At a micro level, this level of personalisation strengthens satisfaction, loyalty, and long-term value with the customer. Bringing this vision to life requires a CRM platform where AI, data, and workflows are deeply integrated. Agentic AI goes beyond basic automation. It can reason, decide, and act, either with human oversight or independently, delivering richer and more dynamic customer experiences. With structured workflows in place, agentic AI systems can handle everythi...

“There's no wrong medicine — only the wrong time to apply it. The best care happens when every discipline works together for the good of the patient.” —Dr. Paul AndersonIn this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Ron Hunninghake sits down with Dr. Paul S. Anderson, a leading educator and clinician in integrative and naturopathic medicine. They explore the evolution of integrative oncology — from its early roots in orthomolecular medicine to today's terrain-based, science-driven approaches that unite conventional and natural therapies.Dr. Anderson shares insights from decades of clinical experience and research, including his work in a US-NIH-funded human trial studying IV and integrative therapies for cancer patients. He discusses how medicine is shifting toward a model that treats the whole person — addressing biochemistry, immunity, environment, and lifestyle — to improve outcomes and quality of life.

In this episode, Rebecca talks with longtime friend and former economic developer Justin Neppl about what it really means to reimagine economic development for small towns. For years, economic development has focused on the same things, but the future looks different. This episode is about collaboration, trust, and people-centered leadership and how they can come together to update traditional models to make futures brighter for our small towns. About Justin: Justin Neppl is a community-focused entrepreneur from Breckenridge, Minnesota, where he lives with his wife, Jamie, and their three children — Karsyn, Easton, and Addy. He is the co-owner of Tiny Tykes Inc., a growing childcare company that has recently begun franchising across the Upper Midwest, with the goal of helping both small and mid-sized communities expand access to quality childcare. In addition to his work in childcare, Justin has partnered with local stakeholders to revitalize Breckenridge's Main Street and address community housing needs — from rehabilitation projects to new construction. Through his partnership with GFY Custom Crafts, he is helping bring affordable, high-quality housing options to communities across Minnesota and North Dakota. Justin is also developing a craft distillery in his hometown that celebrates the agricultural heritage of the Red River Valley. Outside of work, he enjoys hunting a variety of game with his family and coaching youth hockey in the local association. His passion for entrepreneurship and rural revitalization drives his mission to make small towns stronger, more vibrant places to live and raise a family. In this episode, we cover: Why traditional economic development models are breaking down Why sharing the load and tapping into expertise is better than having one overextended leader Real-world examples of communities leading differently Why boards, councils, and communities' collaboration can be the make or break  Why reimagining economic development starts with people Links + Resources Mentioned: Tiny Tykes Franchise: https://tinytykesfranchise.com/ GFY Custom Crafts: https://www.gfycustomcrafts.com/home.html Hankinson YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR6OvMUaaBY&t=425s Sponsor Spotlight: Brodie Mueller and The Market on the Plaza In small towns, coffee is more than caffeine.

Soju, kimchi, gun fights, car chases … and profound reflections on the Korean diaspora. Whether you're hungry for food or for action, Jinwoo Park's debut novel has it all. Oxford Soju Club is about a group of Korean spies carrying out their missions in Oxford. At the centre of it all is The Soju Club, the only Korean restaurant in town. Like any good spy novel, the book delivers on secrets and intrigue … but it's also a story about what it means to be Korean, no matter how far away from home you are. Liked this conversation?

Reimagining a centuries-old art form takes more than talent; it takes courage, curiosity, and a deep belief that tradition can evolve. Few embody that spirit like Babatunde Akinboboye. A classically trained baritone and viral “hip hopera” artist, Babatunde is redefining what opera can sound like—and who it's for. His mashups of rap and arias have captivated millions online, and garnered attention from The Ellen Show, America's Got Talent and TIME Magazine. He's now channeling that distinctive style into his upcoming debut album. In this episode, Babatunde shares how he discovered opera by chance, what it took to find his artistic voice in a space that didn't always reflect him, and how blending genres can make opera feel newly accessible. He also offers insight into building genuine audience connections and broadening ideas of what great music can be.

Is America's debt crisis the biggest threat to prosperity—and can we fix it before it's too late?In this week's Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with Romina Boccia, one of the nation's top fiscal minds and a fearless reformer when it comes to Washington's runaway spending. Romina is the Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy at the Cato Institute, where she leads research on federal spending, debt, and entitlement reform. She's also the principal author of Debt Dispatch—the number-one fiscal newsletter read by members of Congress—and author of the new book Reimagining Social Security: Global Lessons for Retirement Policy Changes.I first met Romina during my time at the White House Office of Management and Budget, and I've admired her work ever since. In this episode, we talk about her journey from Germany to D.C., how she became one of the fiercest advocates for limited government, and why entitlement reform isn't just a numbers issue—it's about moral responsibility to future generations.We unpack why the national debt—now over $37 trillion and rising by about $2 trillion a year—is a bipartisan failure decades in the making. Romina explains how unchecked spending, not too little revenue, is driving the crisis—and why sustainable reform to Social Security and Medicare is critical to preserving both freedom and prosperity.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

After a season of change and messy transitions, Mikki returns to the mic with a powerful new direction for the podcast. In this solo episode, she opens up about navigating her own life shifts and why thinking our way out of relationship struggles doesn't work. Mikki explores the three key paths we face when relationships feel stuck — repair, release, and re-imagine — and why true clarity comes from nervous system regulation, self-trust, and inner stillness. Whether you're questioning a marriage, navigating co-parenting dynamics, or simply ready to stop looping through the same patterns, this conversation will help you expand your perspective, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and take grounded steps forward. It's time to stop overanalyzing and start listening to the truth within. In this episode, Mikki shares: Life transitions are rarely neat or linear. Even when change is intentional, it can feel messy, emotional, and uncertain — and that's normal. True clarity begins with nervous system regulation. Stillness allows you to hear your own inner wisdom and make grounded decisions from within. There are three main pathways forward in stuck relationships: Repair — Rebuilding trust, boundaries, and emotional safety. Release — Grieving and letting go to create space for something new. Re-imagine — Evolving the relationship to match who you are today. Rigid “either/or” thinking keeps us stuck. Expanding your perspective opens new options you may not have seen before. Self-trust is a muscle. Hearing your inner nudges is one step — building the willingness and capacity to follow them is the real work. Our children should never carry adult emotional baggage. How we choose to navigate relationships directly impacts the legacy we leave for them. You always have a choice. Even if others aren't choosing well, you can decide how you want to show up — with clarity, integrity, and leadership. Bible verse from Psalm 46:10 (KJV): “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” If this resonates… You're not alone. And you don't have to figure it out on your own. If you're ready to build a foundation that can't be shaken—reach out. Let's talk. https://calendly.com/coachwithmikki/co-parent-breakthrough-call Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone who might need a fresh perspective on co-parenting!

No one will deny that marriage is hard. In fact, there's evidence it's getting even harder. This week on the show, we revisit a favorite episode about the history of marriage and how it has evolved over time. We talk with historian Stephanie Coontz and psychologist Eli Finkel, and explore ways we can improve our love lives — including by asking less of our partners. Then, on Your Questions Answered, psychologist Jonathan Adler answers your questions about the science of storytelling.If you have follow-up questions or thoughts about these ideas, and you'd be willing to share them with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a voice memo on your phone.

I sit down once again with Stephen Jenkinson to explore his latest work on matrimony, ritual, and the mothering of culture. We talk about how weddings have lost much of their meaning, what it means to return to vows with real weight, and how ritual can nourish not just a couple but an entire community.

In this episode, I speak with Jay Rajamony, Director of Alternatives at Man Numeric.Jay has been with the firm since 2004, giving him a front-row seat to the evolution of quant equity: from simple factor models and broad signals to today's world of alternative data, model ensembles, and human-machine collaboration.We start with the history: what's changed in quant over the last two decades, why the 2007 quant quake still matters, and how the definition of “alpha” has shifted alongside new tools and data.From there, we explore the interplay between factors and macro regimes, how sparse datasets are reshaping the research process, and what it means to manage risk in a world where your models don't always line up with reality.Jay also offers a compelling perspective on how modern quant investing isn't just about signal breadth anymore—it's about firm breadth, organizational design, and knowing when to lean in and override the machine.Please enjoy my conversation with Jay Rajamony.
