He also gives advice on bringing analytics and plans to the board, so your business is set up for success.---------Key Quotes:“The reality is all of our businesses today are one great idea away from complete disruption.

And that requires a very different way of thinking.”“The reality is all of our businesses today are one great idea away from complete disruption, and so you gotta be really focused on what is going to come through tomorrow that is going to change my industry, that'll disrupt my ecosystem, or that might take my business model away. And that requires a very different way of thinking.”“There needs to be a balance, right? You have to be an inside out person to be really effective at a CXO role in a Fortune 500 company. And by that I mean you need to understand the current business. You need to understand your domain. You need to know your stakeholders. You need to be able to champion large shifts in direction and you know, transformation for across the company. And, if you didn't have the credibility, if you didn't have the internal sort of stakeholder support, you couldn't get there. And, to be able to do all of those things, you need to be an insider.”“Today, I can tell you that in terms of results, achieved or outcome driven, data driven projects are probably delivering the highest level of value. And the reason they're doing that is, number one, there's an understanding that this is important.  And number two, the toolkit tree that we have has changed.”---------Time stamps:00:24 How Sanjay became an entrepreneur05:25 Having a conversation with C Level executives08:02 Why you should stay on top of emerging trends10:37 The key to a successful startup13:55 The role of the technologist15:18 The ideal team culture17:20 Having a business-first mindset20:54 Keeping up with the changing industry23:27 The evolution of tech tools25:32 The value of data37:26 How to speak the language of the board43:25 Don't underestimate emerging tech---------Links:GUEST on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjaysrivastava/CIO Exchange on Twitter: https://twitter.com/vmwcioexchangeYadin Porter de León on Twitter: https://twitter.com/porterdeleon [Subscribe to the Podcast] On Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cio-exchange-podcast/id1498290907 For more podcasts, video and in-depth research go to https://www.vmware.com/cio---------Keywords: cio, cio exchange, VMware, innovation, technology, business, AI, board, entrepreneur, AI models, technologist, technology trends, cloud, cloud computing, cloud ecosystem

On the 15th episode of Enterprise Software Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Sanjay Srivastava, Chief Digital Officer at Genpact. Genpact is a global professional services company with over 100,000 employees that enables the world's largest companies to digitally transform. Today, Sanjay shares how companies should approach driving true digital transformation and his perspective on the tremendous potential of AI.Quick hits from Sanjay:On how technology fits into the business: "I used to be all tech, tech, tech. And I realized tech is no longer the long pole in the tent. It's about people, processes, data, orchestration, and change management, all great things that need to happen for tech to deliver results."On how to think about applications of AI: “Often [people] think about AI, it's these big massive  things like autonomous driving…the reality is you have to put all that aside. Think about ‘small' AI, like utilities and tool kits. It's things like NLP: NLP is ahead of human capability today. Computer vision is actually almost at human capability. Voice to text is pretty close if not at human capability. Think about day-to-day business processes and efficiency.”On how tomorrow's workforce can harness AI's potential: “I always like to say that the world doesn't really need another machine learning engineer…what the world really needs is a finance and accounting specialist that understands machine learning; a manufacturing engineer that also understands computer vision; a data scientist that actually gets pattern recognition. It's this idea of the intersection of sciences that becomes very important.”On the difference between digital transformation and digitization: "Digital transformation is a big word these days, and it often gets used in the same way that digitization gets used. The reality is those two words, though interchangeable at times, couldn't be further apart in meaning. When we talk about digitization, it's about taking an end-to-end process, breaking it down into its components, and automating every single piece. You've got an end-to-end process that is faster, scalable, more efficient, and more reliable. But the work remains the same; it's just done faster. When you do digital transformation, you're redesigning the value chain, rethinking the experience, and delivering a much more sticky endpoint to a client. You are using new emerging technologies and get a redesigned end-to-end value proposition. The work that's left behind is now different and new. Digital transformation is about orchestrating change in the dimensions of people, processes, data, and technology." --Like what you hear?

Learn how businesses can accelerate the decarbonization of their operations and contribute to eventually removing that can help drawdown the more than 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide emitted by humans during the Industrial Era. Discover some of the complicated details of how carbon markets, credits, and allowances work with Jason Grant, chief operating officer of Climate Vault, a non-profit that purchases and manages carbon allowance and credits to support carbon capture and sequestration technologies, and Sanjay Srivastava, chief digital strategies at Genpact, a digital services firm provides carbon tracking capabilities for large organizations. The companies have partnered to deliver an end-to-end solution for tracking, managing, and turning a profit by reducing CO2 emissions.Climate Vault was named a World Changing Idea for 2022 by the business magazine, Fast Company. Jason and Sanjay explain the difference between a carbon allowance and a carbon credit. Carbon allowances let you emit, for example, one ton of CO2 within an overall carbon budget. Genpact's tools track whether the allowance goes unused, so that the resulting savings can be retired or sold. That's where Climate Vault comes into the picture — they buy carbon allowances and retire them to prevent the emissions, as well as turn that avoided emissions into finding that supports carbon capture and sequestration technology development. In other words, Climate Vault helps companies use one carbon allowance to both retire CO2 and fund the tools that will remove more CO2 in the future.

High-growth, high-performance companies need to do extraordinary things to remain competitive. I recently had the opportunity to see how leading professional services firm Genpact is leveraging their sponsorship of the Envision Formula E Racing team in ways beyond what they imagined when they teamed up in 2018.I was invited to Silverstone, the home of British Racing to view first-hand the Envision Racing cars, as well as speak to one of the team drivers, Robin Frijns  as well as Team principal, Sylvain Fillipi, and understand how Genpact's partnership is giving the team a competitive advantage.Owned by leading digital energy company Envision Group, Envision Racing is one of the founding and leading outfits in the FIA Formula E World ChampionshipAs we will hear in my 2-part podcast series, the championship is more than just a racing series, it's a battle for the future. Formula E cars, powered by pure electricity, are paving the way for the cars of tomorrow.Genpact is a principal partner of the team, and as we will hear from Genpact's Chief Digital Officer, Sanjay Srivastava, their partnership goes way beyond their logo on the cars.Genpact powers many of the solutions to analyse the reams of data from the car after each race and provide actionable insights to tune the car for peak performance under race conditions.Sanjay explains in the first podcast: “Not only have we helped deliver performance on the racetrack, not only have we helped with the race against climate change, we've actually taken these learnings and applied it to a real business.”My discussion with Sanjay was wide-ranging and covered many topics around data, analytics, and how the learnings from the racetrack are making it into their customer engagements in a meaningful way. This podcast is timely, ahead of the London 2022 E-Prix to be held this weekend at ExCeL London – home of the world's first indoor/outdoor circuit where I will be a guest of Genpact to record a second podcast with Shibu Nambiar, their Chief Operating Officer.Resources mentioned on the showLeonardo Da Vinci by Walter IsaacsonMore on Sanjay Sanjay on LinkedInSanjay on TwitterGenpact WebsiteMore on SylvainSylvian's BioEnvision Racing WebsiteLondon 2022 E-PrixDisclaimer: This podcast was a paid partnership with Genpact.

What if the solution to food insecurity is technology? In today's conversation, host Ari Kaplan sits down with Mick Ebeling, Founder, and CEO of Not Impossible Labs, and Sanjay Srivastava, Chief Digital Officer of Genpact, to discuss how technological innovation is helping solve food insecurity amongst at-risk populations. They both have diverse experience and are veterans of the business and technology worlds, which has afforded them the skills and knowledge to create and drive their current project, Bento. Using existing tech Mick and Sanjay created Bento, software that is improving health one text message at a time. Bento connects marginalized and under-resourced people with nutritious, stigma-free meals from nearby restaurants and grocery stores. It was created by Not Impossible Labs, a ragtag team of misfits, scientists, and geniuses using innovation to help change the world around them. Although Mick knows the people and concept end of the business and how to drive broader outcomes, he needed help with the technology and innovation end, which is where Sanjay comes in. Sanjay is well versed in data, technology, and AI, skills much needed to make Mick's idea happen. Together, they have created a platform that uses existing infrastructure to help people get a fundamental resource for survival; food!The role of AI in Bento is essential, but it may not be what you think. Generally, when people think of artificial intelligence they think of self-driving cars or large data processing algorithms however, it does not have to operate on such a large scale. As Sanjay explains in the interview, Bento uses a ‘simple' AI that helps them collect the data they need in order to drive the associated solutions. Although on a smaller scale, this component is essential to the underlying technology of Bento.The takeaway message from this conversation is the power of combining data, technology, and people to innovate and solve big problems in society. It is the belief of both guests that being able to orchestrate people, processes, data, and technology in a synchronized fashion is what drives real change in our societies. Tune in to learn more about the superpower of people and technology with true innovators that are making real change.Key Points From This Episode:The definition of food insecurity and how it manifests in society.Reasons for our guests getting involved with solving food insecurity. What the differences are between invention and innovation. The impact that Bento has and the potential it has to grow in the future.Technology and data challenges that they have or may need to overcome.How artificial intelligence helps them with their business model.Outcomes that they have achieved and hope to achieve in the future.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Mick EbelingNot Impossible LabsBentoEyeWriterSanjay Srivastava on LinkedInGenpact

What are the cardiovascular effects of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin (PG:VG) and saturated aldehydes used in electronic cigarettes? Guest Editor Loren Wold (The Ohio State University) interviews senior author Daniel Conklin (University of Louisville) and expert Mark Olfert (West Virginia University) about the latest study by Jin et al., which investigated the base liquid in E-cigarettes in the absence of nicotine and flavorings. Conklin and co-authors exposed male and female mice to the individual components of the E-cigarette aerosol cloud (PG:VG-derived aerosol, formaldehyde gas, acetaldehyde gas) and compared their results to filtered air. The authors found mice exposed to PG:VG and formaldehyde gas showed increased endothelial dysfunction, a key biomarker of chronic cardiovascular disease risk. The authors also found that female mice were more sensitive to each of the exposure conditions than male counterparts. Does this indicate that female mice are a sensitive and useful model for exposure to environmental inhalants? Do the authors think that heat-not-burn E-cigarettes may be an alternative to E-cigs using PG:VG base liquid?

In 2012, Rink Hoekstra received two emails on the same day. One was from a journal editor, telling him that a manuscript was being rejected based on the recommendations of two reviewers. The other was from one of those reviewers, complimenting the paper and congratulating him on a job well done. The reviewer, Fiona Fidler, discovered that her review had been altered, and Rink and Fiona teamed out to figure out why. We spoke with Rink in 2018 about what happened, but we held on to the interview in anticipation of the episode being covered by the press. There's now an article out in Science, by journalist Cathleen O'Grady. In our conversation we talk about what happened, and we broaden out to a discussion of publication ethics.

Academics love awards. We give out career awards, mid-career awards, early-career awards. We give out awards for the best paper, the best theory, the best teaching, the best service. But what function do all those awards serve? And are we the better for having them? In this episode we talk about how awards fit into the academic ecosystem. How do recipients benefit from them? How do they help the organizations and research communities that give them out? What kinds of biases are baked into the system, and how can we counteract them? Should we consider radically changing how academic awards work, or even doing away with them?

The contact hypothesis is an old idea in social psychology. It posits that under the right circumstances, bringing people from different groups together can reduce prejudice. In this episode, we discuss a new field experiment by Salma Mousa testing whether putting Iraqi Christians and Muslims on soccer teams together can rebuild social cohesion after war. Part of our conversation focuses on the direct implications of this work for the contact hypothesis. We also discuss how this study stands out against some common patterns in social science research. Why, despite the long history of research and intuitive appeal of the contact hypothesis, have no studies like this been done before? How did this paper benefit from integrating rigorous quantitative methods with a careful understanding of history and context? How did a commitment to not just the letter, but also the spirit, of preregistration keep the conclusions aligned so well with the data?

Scientific journal articles have a lot of numbers. Scientists are smart people with even smarter computers, so an outsider might think that, if nothing else, you can count on the math checking out. But modern data analysis is complicated, and computational reproducibility is far from guaranteed. In this episode, we discuss a recent set of articles published at the journal Cortex. A group of authors set out to replicate an influential 2010 article that claimed that if you reactivate a fear-laden memory, it becomes possible to change the emotional association - something with clear relevance to clinical practice. Along the way, the replicating scientists encountered anomalies which led them to try to reproduce the analyses in the original study - and they discovered that they could not. We talk about what this means for science. What are the implications of knowing that for a nontrivial number if scientific studies, the math doesn't add up? Will a new era of open data and open code be enough to fix the problem? How much will Verification Reports - a new publication format that Cortex has introduced - help with that process?

How does psychology's response to the replication crisis fit into a broader history of science? In this episode we discuss a paper by sociologists Jeremy Freese and David Peterson that takes on that question. Are "epistemic activists" in psychology redefining what it means to be objective in science? Does a focus on reforming incentives mean we view scientists as economic actors for whom motives and dispositions are irrelevant? Does the last decade's growth in meta-research mean that meta-analysis is the new arbiter of objectivity? Does a shift to a systems perspective on science have parallels in other systemic analyses of institutions?

The upcoming academic term will be unusual, to say the least. The global pandemic led to emergency shutdowns in March, and it is likely that many colleges and universities will continue teaching partially or wholly online. And protests against anti-Black racism in the United States and elsewhere have led to institutional statements about taking an antiracist stand - which may or may not translate into real change. In this episode, we discuss some of the changes and how we are thinking about them in our work. How did we adapt our teaching for remote learning, and what do we think fall will look like? What changes can we make to our teaching and service to be more antiracist? How can we stay focused and motivated when we're acting as individuals against systemic problems? Plus, we answer a letter about working in the lab of your more senior and prominent partner. Simine chides her co-hosts over ignoring Southern Hemisphere seasons (and the one who writes episode titles promises to try harder, right after he gets this one pun out of his system).

In recent years there has been a lot of talk about public trust in science - how much there is, in what ways, whether we deserve it or not. In this episode, we discuss an article by historian and philosopher Rachel Ankeny that asks whether "trust" is even the right concept to be talking about. What does it mean to trust an abstraction like "science"? When people argue about trust in science, are they even talking about the same thing - the findings, the people, the process, or something else? And we discuss Ankeny's proposed alternative: that instead of the public's trust, scientists should be seeking out engagement. What would an engagement model looks like? How would engagement benefit the public? How would it benefit science? And what about people who just wouldn't want to engage?

Many important questions about cause and effect are impractical to answer with a randomized experiment. What should we do instead? In this episode we talk about doing causal inference with observational data. Has psychology's historical obsession with internal validity led it, ironically, to think about causal inference in an unsophisticated way? Can formal analytic tools like directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) tell us how to do better studies? Or is their main lesson don't bother trying?

The path from theory to study consists of a thousand decisions, big and small. How and how much do these decisions matter? We discuss a recent crowdsourced meta-study that tried to find out. Fifteen teams of researchers were given 5 different hypotheses and told to design a study to test them, then they ran all the studies and got widely varying results. What are the implications of this study for how we should think about the role of theory in study design? What does it say about the different functions of direct and conceptual replications? Is this evidence of hidden moderators? How predictable were the differences in results, and were they predictable because of differences in the study designers' expertise, biases, or something else?

How important is expertise in conducting replications? Many Labs 4 was a large, multi-lab effort that brought together 21 labs, running 2,220 subjects, to study that question. The goal was to compare replications with and without the involvement of the original authors to see if that made a difference. But things got complicated when the effect they chose to study - the mortality salience effect that is a cornerstone of terror management theory - could not be replicated by anyone. In this episode, we talk about the implications of Many Labs 4. What does and doesn't this study say about the importance of expertise and "secret sauce" in conducting replications? Should we necessarily expect that the effect of expertise is to make effects larger or more likely to replicate? What does this replication mean for terror management theory, which has been the focus of hundreds of studies and a 2010 meta-analysis that concluded that mortality salience effects are real and substantial? What place does terror management theory hold in the history of social psychology, and how is that similar or different from ego depletion, another theory that was supported by a meta-analysis but not by multi-lab replications?

How much weight do you put on different considerations - the importance of the research question, the novelty, the theory, the methods, the results, and other factors? What's your actual process - do you read front-to-back, or jump around? How much do you edit and wordsmith your reviews? When there are appendices, supplements, open code and materials, and preregistrations, which things do you read and how do you factor them in? How do you think about your potential biases and how to mitigate them? Plus: We answer a letter about deciding whether to pursue a postdoc versus other options.

To get your PhD you have to do a dissertation. For some this is an important product that demonstrates your ability to produce original research. To others, it's a vestigial ritual and a waste of time on the way to becoming a productive scholar. In this episode we discuss dissertations - what they've been in the past, what they are today, and where they might go in the future. Is a dissertation necessary for the kinds of work that someone might do with a PhD? As graduate training has evolved, how well has the dissertation kept up? Are oral defenses a valuable part of the process or an elaborate hazing ritual? Are they better if they're public, private, or don't happen at all? And most importantly, should all defenses involve swords? Plus: We discuss a letter about escaping from a toxic and abusive advisor.

Speaking up about injustice and bad behavior in a professional setting - as a witness, or as the target of it - is hard. It's uncomfortable, it's difficult, and it can generate backlash and other risks for yourself and your career. In this episode, we talk about that moment when people finally decide to say something or do something. Simine shares the story of how she decided to go on the record about being groped at a conference - what brought her to that decision, and what happened as a result. And we talk about other cases of people speaking up about harassment, discrimination, professional misconduct, and more, including Jennifer Freyd's pay discrimination lawsuit against the University of Oregon. We talk about the burden of knowing something is wrong, how this dilemma often falls disproportionately on people who are vulnerable in other ways, and what factors can help somebody speak out. Plus: we respond to a letter about department leaders who are obsessed with bean-counting of grant dollars and impact factors.

Academics give a lot of talks. Job talks, conference talks, colloquium talks, brownbag talks, pub talks. In this episode we talk about talks. How do you approach different audiences and formats? How do you manage a format or audience where interrupting with questions is the norm? How, and how much, do you prepare for different kinds of talks? How do you handle nerves when the stakes feel high? We share some of our own observations and experiences about giving academic presentations.

Scientists have to follow a lot of rules. We have IRB rules, journal submission rules, university rules - lots of rules. But some of the most important rules in science aren't rules at all - they are norms. Guiding principles that shape the work we do. In this episode, we discuss a classic paper by the sociologist Robert Merton on 4 norms that govern scientific work. Are these norms an expression of scientific values, or just a means to an end? How well do scientists follow them, individually or collectively? Is science doing as well today as Merton thought it was back in 1942 - and is following these norms really the way to make science work right? Plus: We answer a letter about question to ask a prospective PhD advisor.

In a previous episode we talked about making small talk in academic life and in general. In this episode we continue the theme, taking a break from our usual Very Serious Topics to answer the ultimate small-talk question: What do you do for fun? We talk about what a week in our lives is like outside of work. How do we spend time when we're not "on the clock"? What is the right amount of socializing? (spoiler: not everybody has the same answer) How do our hobbies and avocations reflect back on our work - or give us a break from it?

The three pillars of academic work are research, teaching, and service - in that order. But service is incredibly important for universities and professions to function well and for academics to contribute to their communities. In this episode we talk about how we think about service. How do decide what service to do, and how much? How do you manage service in relation to your other work? What are different kinds of service, and what do you get out of them? What should we do about colleagues who get less service because they won't do it or will do it badly? Plus: A letter about getting credit for open peer reviews.

Entangled Urbanism: Slum, Gated Community and Shopping Mall in Delhi and Gurgaon (Oxford University Press, 2015) is the latest book by Sanjay Srivastava. A wonderfully readable piece of urban anthropology, the book explores the ways spaces and processes are interconnected in the city. From temples that resemble shopping malls, through the gates of luxury apartments and into the electricity supply networks of slums, the book pulls together the threads that entangle city dwellers with one another.
