BONUS: How AI Took the Boring Out of Agile Coaching—Where Scrum Masters Should Actually Start, With Michael Dougherty Today we speak with Michael Dougherty — "Agile Mike" — about how a 30-year veteran of solution development and product leadership made AI a working part of his Agile coaching practice. Michael walks us through the journey from early ChatGPT curiosity, to documentation as the first real win, to the personal-passion project that built his comfort with the tools, and finally to where every Scrum Master should start: the retrospective. From Curiosity to Toolbox: A Slow Burn That Started With User Stories "I tried, and I thought it sucked at that. I'd rather write this by hand."   Michael's AI journey started in late 2022 with ChatGPT — like most coaches, he tried to make it write user stories and acceptance criteria. It didn't work. The output wasn't usable, and he went back to writing them by hand. What looks like a failure was actually the first lesson: not every coaching task is a good fit for AI, and the way to find out is to try. He kept experimenting in the background through 2023 and 2024 — Claude, Grok, Perplexity — while keeping personal use and business use cleanly separated. The real shift came at the Department of Homeland Security, where he sat alongside ex-Googlers, ex-OpenAI people, and an Anthropic alumnus on the team building DHS's internal chatbot. Watching what AI could do inside a heavily-protected enterprise environment changed his frame: this wasn't a productivity hack anymore, it was infrastructure. The Boring, Tedious, Now Quicker: Documentation as the First Real Win "AI has taken all those boring, tedious tasks and made them quicker, more valuable, and more fun to boot."   The first AI practice that stuck was documentation — the part of Agile coaching nobody enjoys but every client demands. Michael had spent years writing SDLC docs from blank pages, and his co-author on Shift: From Product to People used to look at empty docs and ask for help getting started. AI removed that blank-page problem. He'd give the model the team context, the client's documentation requirements, and a template — and get a draft to edit. He stayed in the loop as the human, bringing context, judgment, and final shape, but he no longer started from zero. The same shift happened with presentations: instead of fighting PowerPoint spacing, he tells the AI to drop content into a template and gets back a formatted deck. Small tasks, but multiplied across a coaching week, they bought back real time. The Personal Project Trick: Find Something You Love First "Find something you have a passion with, something you really enjoy. That made me feel comfortable with AI so I could do more."   Michael's strongest advice for coaches who feel intimidated by AI isn't to start at work — it's to build something for yourself, in a domain you care about. His own example: the Nordic Metal Tour Tracker, a personal AI agent for tracking heavy metal bands across Northern Europe (and Spain and Portugal). It plays music. It maps tours by country. It exists purely because he loves heavy metal. The trick isn't the tool — it's that working on something he actually cared about removed the fear and built the muscle memory. Once the comfort was there, transferring it to work became a small step instead of a leap. He references the rundown AI as a daily input that keeps him aware of how others — even people in their 80s — are using AI for everything from gardening to balanced school lunches. A Week With Preppy Paul: Agents, Connectors, and the End of Inbox Drudgery "Preppy Paul gives me a list of all my meetings today and the top three items I should have on each one — based on my notes, my email, my calendar."   Michael's current weekly routine looks nothing like his Agile coaching week from three years ago. He works at Zion Cloud Solutions as a Tier 1 Google AI partner, splitting time across three roles: about 20–30% traditional Agile project management (coaching a Scrum Master on a state of Illinois project), and the rest as an AI Growth Engineer and AI delivery lead on short 4–6 week projects with 3–5 person teams. The backbone is Google Gemini Enterprise — a platform that lets him run Claude, ChatGPT, or any major model behind enterprise protection (Model Armor, the SAIF framework). Inside it, connectors pull in Gmail, Outlook, Calendar, Confluence, Jira, Slack, Teams, monday.com, and thousands of other tools — each agent inherits only the permissions the user already has. A few practical patterns he runs every week:   Preppy Paul — an agent that prepares him for the day's meetings, pulling top topics per meeting from his notes, email, and calendar. Meeting-to-email — AI records and summarises every meeting, and he asks the agent to draft updates to specific team members directly from the summary. LinkedIn drafts in his voice — hashtags, formatting, and tone all match his style; he edits lightly and posts.   The pattern across all of these: the agent isn't replacing the work. It's removing the friction between the meeting and the next conversation. The Retrospective: The Best Place for Every Scrum Master to Start "Don't have it be the same darn Jira spreadsheet of the same darn three questions every time. Go to AI and eat your heart out with it."   When pushed for one thing a Scrum Master could try tomorrow morning, Michael was clear: the retrospective. It's the one Scrum event where creativity is usually welcome, where format experimentation has a low cost, and where teams are already expecting something new. Ask AI for retrospective formats that fit the team's current situation — review five or ten options, pick one, run it. The signal you watch for within a week is double: how many improvements the team generated, and how many of them actually got done. The simpler signal is the team's reaction. If at the end someone says "that was fun" — and then you tell them you used AI to design the format — you've shown the team what AI is good for without a single slide or framework. It's the smallest possible experiment with the largest possible upside. Experiment Like a Scientist, Not a Spectator "Don't be afraid of it. Try whatever you can with it. Have the viewpoint of a scientist."   The trap Michael sees most coaches falling into is curiosity without commitment — reading about AI, watching demos, talking about it, but never building anything. His framing is the opposite: be a scientist. Run experiments. Some will fail (his user-story attempt did). Some will quietly become essential (documentation did). The way to find out which is which is to keep trying, in low-stakes contexts, with both personal projects and small work experiments. The coaches who'll be useful to their teams in 18 months aren't the ones who can describe AI accurately — they're the ones who've built enough small things to know what AI is bad at, what it's surprisingly good at, and where the human in the loop has to stay.   About Michael Dougherty   "Agile Mike" has over 30 years of experience with solution development and product leadership, working in nearly every IT role that exists and literally hundreds of companies during his career. Michael has taught multiple Agile courses to over 1000 people, spoken at multiple events and podcasts, written dozens of blogs, and has been recently serving the US Government. He is the other co-author of Shift: From Product to People.   You can link with Michael Dougherty on LinkedIn and find more about his work at shiftingpeople.com and AP8XGlobal.com.

What does rewilding really mean? And do people championing it really understand how it works in practice? In this episode of The State of Sustainability, Saif unpacks the differences between organic, regenerative, and rewilding practices. As well as why so many sustainability advocates misunderstand rewilding, despite promoting it. Saif explains the contrast between organic farming's strict, input-focused certification process and regenerative agriculture's more flexible, outcomes-based approach centered on biodiversity and soil health.Saif also examines the structural realities of mainstream farming across the world. He points out that big, single-crop farms and most of the money in farming are concentrated in wealthier northern countries. Meanwhile, in poorer southern countries, land is often split up among many small owners, making it much harder to run large farms or get organic certification.Rewilding itself is still an abstract concept requiring a major mindset shift that isn't feasible for every farmer. Despite the challenges, Saif remains cautiously optimistic, seeing rewilding as a necessary evolution in how we approach agriculture and land management going forward.Let Saif know what you think by emailing Saif@altruistiq.com.To discover how leading organisations are improving sustainability reporting and carbon management, visit Altruistiq.com.Join us at the State of Sustainability Summit: LondonOn 14 October, Altruistiq is bringing together senior sustainability, procurement and supply chain leaders from leading consumer goods companies for a day of practical discussions on the challenges shaping the future of the industry.

In this episode of The State of Sustainability, Saif explores the rise, decline, and future opportunities of plant-based proteins, focusing on the technological innovations, branding challenges, and market dynamics. He shares insights from the industry's early boom with Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods to the recent slowdown, along with predictions on where the space might go next.Saif covers the initial hype around plant-based meat and why the sector captured so much attention in 2019 and 2020. He also outlines the core obstacles that slowed momentum, including taste, texture, price, and the difficulty of competing with the deeply established emotional pull of meat brands.Saif shares his insights into where the category may still win, especially in emerging markets, B2B channels, and ingredient-level innovation. His long-term view is that plant-based protein is not a dead end, but a space that may succeed through sharper targeting, better economics, and new technologies like fermentation and tissue culture.Let Saif know what you think by emailing Saif@altruistiq.com.To discover how leading organisations are improving sustainability reporting and carbon management, visit Altruistiq.com.Join us at the State of Sustainability Summit: LondonOn 14 October, Altruistiq is bringing together senior sustainability, procurement and supply chain leaders from leading consumer goods companies for a day of practical discussions on the challenges shaping the future of the industry.

In this presentation, Liana Saif interrogates the now-automatic pairing of Sufism with the word "mysticism." Tracing this label back through Orientalist, Traditionalist, and Perennialist thinkers, she argues that "mysticism" obscures more historically grounded frameworks like al-bāṭiniyya, and reveals it instead as a modern, Western-inflected construct.

In this episode of State of Sustainability, we take a deep dive into cocoa - one of the world's most familiar commodities, and one of the most vulnerable. Host Saif Hameed opens with a personal path into commodity markets, from early fascination with cocoa trading to a brief stint in potato trading, before turning to the serious question at the heart of the episode: can cocoa remain viable in a world of rising climate risk, disease pressure, land competition, and market volatility?The story begins with cocoa's extraordinary price swings, which have taken the market from relatively stable levels to historic highs and then back down again. Those moves are not just about trading noise. They reflect deeper structural stress in a supply chain that is heavily concentrated in West Africa, where Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana account for the majority of global production. That concentration makes cocoa especially exposed to weather shocks, political instability, and agronomic decline.Saif also explores the challenges facing the farmers who actually grow cocoa. Most are smallholders working on tiny plots, often with aging trees, low margins, and little room to absorb risk. Disease is another major threat, especially cocoa swollen shoot virus and black pod disease, both of which can severely damage yields. The episode also looks at land loss caused by illegal mining in Ghana and the way regulation, including EUDR, is reshaping where cocoa can and cannot be grown.The demand side is changing too. Manufacturers are reformulating products, shrinking bar sizes, and substituting ingredients as cocoa becomes more expensive and harder to source. Saif closes with a sober prediction: cocoa supply is likely to keep under pressure, volatility will remain high, and the industry may be heading toward a less abundant future.Let Saif know what you think by emailing Saif@altruistiq.com.To discover how leading organisations are improving sustainability reporting and carbon management, visit Altruistiq.com.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.

In this episode of State of Sustainability, Saif Hameed explores how artificial intelligence is moving beyond simple chat tools and into agentic systems and AI native services, with major implications for sustainability teams. He breaks down the difference between traditional AI use, agentic AI connected to tools and context, and service models built around AI plus humans in the loop. The core theme is clear: organisations are increasingly looking for outcomes, not headcount, and sustainability work is likely to feel that shift sooner than many expect.Saif explains why sustainability functions are especially exposed to automation because so much of their work is repetitive, cyclical, and information-heavy. He argues that AI is well suited to handle tasks like supplier risk scanning, data acquisition, and due diligence workflows, which means teams will need to rethink what value really looks like. Rather than relying on deep subject matter expertise alone, future value will come from leverage, system design, and the ability to combine people, process, and AI effectively.The episode also looks at how organisational hierarchies may flatten as AI makes information flow, decision-making, and performance management easier to automate. Saif shares lessons from his consulting background and warns against becoming a “translator” role that the business no longer understands or values. For sustainability managers and analysts, the message is practical and urgent: focus on delivering outcomes with fewer resources, because the market is already moving in that direction.Let me know what you think by emailing Saif@altruistiq.com.To discover how leading organisations are improving sustainability reporting and carbon management, visit Altruistiq.com.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.

In this episode of State of Sustainability, we explore the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), one of the most significant developments in climate policy, carbon pricing and international trade. As the European Union begins implementing CBAM, businesses around the world are assessing what the new regulations mean for imports, exports, supply chains and decarbonisation strategies.We break down how CBAM works, why it was introduced, and which industries are expected to feel the greatest impact. From steel and cement to fertilisers, aluminium and hydrogen, the mechanism is designed to prevent carbon leakage and ensure imported products face similar carbon costs to those produced within the EU.The discussion explores the latest CBAM carbon certificate pricing, the potential impact on global trade flows, and the challenges businesses face as they adapt to new reporting and compliance requirements. We also examine concerns around competitiveness, trade barriers and whether CBAM could accelerate the global adoption of carbon pricing systems.The episode looks at how major economies, including China and the United States, are responding to Europe's carbon border tax, and whether similar mechanisms could emerge elsewhere. We discuss the implications for emissions trading schemes, green steel production, industrial decarbonisation and the future of sustainable manufacturing.Topics covered in this episode include:• What the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is and why it was introduced• How CBAM is designed to prevent carbon leakage and support EU climate goals• The industries most affected, including steel, cement, fertilisers, aluminium, hydrogen and electricity• The latest CBAM carbon pricing and what it means for exporters• The potential impact on international trade and global supply chains• Whether CBAM creates a level playing field or acts as a trade barrier• How China is responding through the development of its emissions trading scheme• The possibility of similar carbon border taxes being introduced in other regions• The role of CBAM in accelerating industrial decarbonisation• Challenges around emissions data collection, reporting and verificationKey statistics discussed:• Steel accounts for approximately 69% of the trade volume affected by CBAM• Fertilisers represent around 15% of affected imports• Cement accounts for approximately 11%• Aluminium represents around 5%• Current carbon certificate prices are approximately €75 per tonne of CO₂ equivalent• Green steel currently carries a premium of approximately €200–300 per tonneWhether you're involved in sustainability, ESG, manufacturing, procurement, international trade or climate policy, this episode provides a practical overview of one of the most important regulatory changes shaping the future of low-carbon industry.Listen now to learn how CBAM could transform global trade, influence carbon pricing strategies and drive the next phase of industrial decarbonisation.Do you think CBAM will accelerate global decarbonisation, or create new challenges for international trade?

Send us Fan MailThe Arab and Muslim business community in Metro Detroit is one of the most powerful in the country — but does it get the recognition it deserves?In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, OZ Media sits down with Bilal Hammoud and Saif Alsenad — representatives of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce — for one of the most important business and community conversations we've had at this table. Two leaders. One mission. No filter.We go straight to the source on the questions the Arab and Muslim community has been asking: What does the Chamber actually do behind the scenes? What bridges have been built — and with who? How does the Chamber show up when political tension hits? And what does the future of Arab and Muslim economic power in Metro Detroit actually look like? THIS EPISODE WE'RE GETTING INTO: What drew Bilal and Saif personally to the American Arab Chamber of Commerce — and what made them step into leadership roles within it? What exactly IS the American Arab Chamber of Commerce and why does it exist? The real answer — not the brochure answer Metro Detroit's Arab and Muslim business community is a powerhouse — so why doesn't it always get the recognition it deserves? What the Chamber actually does day-to-day that most people don't see — what real impact looks like behind the scenes The resources, programs, and opportunities the Chamber is providing that Arab and Muslim entrepreneurs might not even know exist The KEY organizations, institutions, and communities the Chamber has built relationships with — and why those specific bridges mattered How the American Arab Chamber builds bridges with African American, Latino, and other minority business communities in one of the most diverse cities in the country When Islamophobia, foreign policy, and local conflict hit — how does the Chamber show up?

In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit Yeh Dillagi — the glossy 90s rom-com that gave us Ole Ole, soft-boy Akshay Kumar, and peak “pretty boy” Saif Ali Khan. From Kajol's unforgettable makeover arc and the film's Sabrina roots to wildly outdated rich-people morality, rain-song dream logic, and VHS-era capitalism, the gang dives deep into why this movie still works as a nostalgia machine. Expect conversations about 90s fashion, Bollywood's disappearing rom-com energy, questionable drunk acting, random Karisma Kapoor cameos, and why every rich family in Hindi cinema apparently owned plastic lawn chairs. Plus: the soundtrack absolutely slaps.  03:20 – Introducing Yeh Dillagi08:20 – Sabrina comparisons and Kajol nostalgia17:10 – Saif, classism, and 90s morality23:20 – Champagne ads, Shimla businessmen, and hilarious “wealth” aesthetics29:15 – Soft Akshay Kumar appreciation hour30:10 – Soundtrack deep dive: Ole Ole, Hothon Pe Bas & more37:20 – Dream sequences, rain songs, and background extras43:40 – Random observations and Karisma Kapoor cameo discourse47:00 – Final thoughts on why Yeh Dillagi still matters

Today, on Nakba Day, we're honored to share a very special interview with you.Nakba Day commemorates the mass displacement of Palestinians that began on May 15, 1948. “Nakba,” the Arabic word for “catastrophe,” refers to the forced expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction and depopulation of over 500 Palestinian villages, towns, and cities by Zionist militias and, later, the Israeli army.In this episode, Maisa co-hosts with We Rise apprentice Hannah in an interview with Saif Abu Keshek a member of the steering committee for the Global Sumud Flotilla. This interview was recorded at the International People's Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona, where the People's Tribunal charged the settler colonial state of Israel of genocide and ecocide in November 2025. Together, we discuss how people's tribunals can serve as both a tool and strategy in the Palestine Liberation movement.We also speak about the central role of Palestinian political prisoners in the struggle for liberation. Political prisoners are not only symbols of resistance — they are our compass, grounding the movement in steadfastness, sacrifice, and collective responsibility.Earlier this year, on April 30, Saif — a Spanish national of Palestinian origin — and Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila were abducted while sailing alongside dozens of activists as part of the latest humanitarian mission organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla. Saif and Thiago were imprisoned in Israel for 10 days under brutal conditions, where they endured torture and took part in a hunger strike.The Global Sumud Flotilla continues to sale to break the siege on Gaza. GlobalSumudFlotilla.org@GlobalSumudFlotillaWe Rise will be releasing exclusive interviews with the People's Tribunal organizers and people who shared live testimony in Barcelona, stay tuned in to We Rise Production for episode release. InternationalSolidarity.org/tribunal@InternationalPeoplesFrontThis episode features music by DAM, Abu Arab, Ahmad Kaabour and sounds from the the International People's Tribunal on Palestine in Barcelona.

Saif Gaddafi continued to act as a beacon for those struggling to restore Libya's sovereignty and independence long after his father was assassinated. Saif Gaddafi was widely respected in Libya during the time of the Jamahiriyan Republic that was presided over by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. His assassination, mourned by the Libyan masses, was greeted with glee by the imperialists, who were becoming worried at his potential to win any presidential election that might be held in the country.

Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi, 53 ans, l'un des fils de l'ex-dictateur libyen Mouammar Kadhafi, a donc été assassiné hier dans sa maison à Zintan, à 170 km au sud-ouest de Tripoli dans le nord-ouest de la Libye. C'est ce qu'a annoncé son avocat et conseiller Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim. Information répercutée par la chaîne Libya Al-Ahrar. Les circonstances de son décès restent toutefois encore floues. D'après l'avocat, rapporte le site algérien TSA, « Saïf al-Islam a été assassiné par quatre hommes armés qui ont pris d'assaut sa résidence après avoir neutralisé les caméras de surveillance. Il aurait résisté, se serait battu, avant de succomber. » De son côté, relate Afrik.com, « Hamid Kadhafi, cousin de Saïf al-Islam, a déclaré que ce dernier était “tombé en martyr“, reconnaissant toutefois ne disposer d'aucune information supplémentaire. » Retour au site algérien TSA qui précise que « la mort du fils de Kadhafi survient alors que la ville de Zintan est en proie à des affrontements entre les groupes armés qui s'entretuent en Libye depuis la chute et la mort du Guide en 2011. La Brigade 444 (l'une des factions armées les plus puissantes en Libye affiliée au gouvernement de Tripoli) a pour sa part "catégoriquement" nié toute implication dans les affrontements qui ont eu lieu dans la ville et toute implication dans la mort de Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi. » À lire aussiDécès de Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi: retour sur la trajectoire contrariée d'une succession libyenne De l'ouverture à la répression… Le Monde Afrique revient sur le parcours ces dernières années de Saïf Al-Islam : « recherché par la CPI pour crimes contre l'humanité, il avait été arrêté dans le Sud libyen en 2011. Longtemps détenu à Zintan, il avait été condamné à mort en 2015 à l'issue d'un procès expéditif pour son rôle dans la répression du soulèvement contre son père, avant de bénéficier d'une amnistie. Jusqu'à l'annonce de sa mort, on ne savait pas où il se trouvait. En 2021, bien qu'il ait été recherché, il avait déposé sa candidature à la présidentielle, misant sur le soutien des nostalgiques de l'ancien régime. L'élection ne s'était finalement pas tenue. » « Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi a longtemps été perçu comme le successeur naturel de son père, complète Afrik.com, incarnant une façade moderniste et réformatrice du régime. Formé en Occident, il avait tenté, avant 2011, de projeter l'image d'un dirigeant ouvert au dialogue et aux réformes. Cette réputation s'était brutalement effondrée au début du soulèvement libyen, lorsqu'il avait prononcé un discours resté célèbre, promettant des “bains de sang“ face aux manifestants. Depuis, son nom est indissociable des violences ayant accompagné la répression du soulèvement populaire. » Assassinat politique, crapuleux ? Alors, poursuit Afrik.com, « la mort de Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi soulève de nombreuses questions : qui avait intérêt à son élimination ? Était-il encore un acteur politique susceptible de peser sur l'avenir libyen ou bien un témoin gênant dans des dossiers sensibles, notamment internationaux ? En l'absence de communication officielle des autorités libyennes et d'enquête indépendante confirmée, le décès de Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi s'ajoute à la longue liste des zones d'ombre qui entourent la transition libyenne. » Assassinat politique ? Peut-être… « Ses ambitions présidentielles, il y a quelques années, souligne Aujourd'hui à Ouagadougou, lui avaient valu beaucoup d'inimitiés, à commencer par celle du maréchal Haftar avec qui il avait rompu les ponts. » « Faut-il attribuer sa mort à l'insécurité ambiante qui règne à Zintan ? », s'interroge pour sa part Ledjely en Guinée. « L'hypothèse paraît peu crédible. Saïf al-Islam Kadhafi était une cible trop symbolique pour que son exécution relève d'un simple crime crapuleux. (…) Le mystère s'épaissit davantage lorsque l'on sait que la ville de Zintan n'est pas contrôlée par le maréchal Haftar, dont la zone d'influence se situe à l'est du pays. Mais rien n'indique non plus que le gouvernement d'unité nationale, basé à Tripoli, dirigé par Abdelhamid Dbeibah et reconnu par l'ONU, ait eu intérêt à éliminer le fils de l'ancien Guide. D'autant plus qu'en 2021, Abdelhamid Dbeibah avait personnellement œuvré à la libération de Saadi Kadhafi, le frère cadet de Saïf al-Islam. » Enfin autre hypothèse, pointe WakatSéra : « les ramifications de cet assassinat pourraient être internationales, Saif étant vu comme une boîte noire du régime Kadhafi et qui pourrait détenir bien des secrets sur les “grands“ de ce monde. »
