Pascal Papathemelis: Selecting the Appropriate Agile Values for Organizational Impact Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal defines success for Scrum Masters through his recent mantra of "effectiveness over efficiency," "outcome over output," and "create value for the customer." Working with a client introducing a new digital platform, he focuses on understanding the value for both the organization and end customers while minimizing confusion in the process. Pascal emphasizes the importance of ensuring work sustainability over time by focusing on Agile values and principles and their deep understanding. He customizes the Agile Manifesto's values and principles for each organization, such as focusing on customer value, collaboration, and constant learning. Pascal strategically highlights the principles and values that address the biggest challenges facing the organization at any given time, making Agile concepts relevant and actionable for the specific context. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Pascal recommends the sailboat retrospective as his preferred format, though he emphasizes that the choice depends on context and team focus. He values this metaphor-based retrospective because it helps teams discuss critical aspects of their work through different perspectives. The sailboat format allows teams to explore what propels them forward (wind), what holds them back (anchors), what they need to watch out for (rocks), and their destination (island). Pascal also uses timeline retrospectives and stresses the importance of varying retrospective formats to prevent teams from falling into routine patterns that might limit their ability to bring fresh insights to their work. He believes that good data and effective visualization are essential components of any successful retrospective format. Self-reflection Question: How effectively are you customizing Agile principles to address your organization's specific challenges and context? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

How to Successfully Hire and Manage a Virtual Assistant for Your Insurance BusinessRunning an insurance practice means juggling countless tasks, and as your client roster grows, so does the need for reliable support. In this week's episode of the Insurance Business Babes podcast, hosts Kathe Kline and Joanna Wyckoff dive deep into hiring virtual assistants (VAs)—sharing years of hands-on wisdom from building their own teams. Here are the best nuggets from their conversation, expanded for our blog readers.Why and When to Hire a Virtual AssistantMost insurance agents hit a breaking point as their client base approaches 300 or more. When that happens, administrative work starts eating into sales time, client service suffers, and time off becomes a dream. As Joanna says, “We girl boss a little too hard to the sun and you start getting overwhelmed.” If you're constantly frazzled or avoiding your ringing phone, it's time to bring on support—before burnout sets in.Where to Find Qualified Virtual AssistantsBoth hosts swear by onlinejobs.ph, a popular platform for hiring VAs from the Philippines. Filipino VAs are known for excellent English, polite customer service, and strong work ethic. Kathe recommends paying a little extra for the six-month support/transition package, giving the VA a local contact to help them adjust and ensuring smoother onboarding for you.Other options include Upwork (especially if you need part-time help), or hiring services like Hire Heroes, which pre-screen and prepare candidates for the insurance industry.Screening and Selecting the Right CandidateTo avoid sifting through hundreds of resumes, Joanna suggests:Requesting a video introduction to gauge English proficiency, personality, and customer-facing skills.Asking for a portfolio if you're hiring for specialized skills (like marketing).Giving clear, specific application instructions to spot high attention to detail.Kathe is a fan of assigning paid trial tasks to top candidates. This hands-on approach shows who's truly capable and reliable.Training & Managing Your Virtual AssistantBefore hiring, spend time recording your processes using screen capture tools. This library of “how-to” videos becomes a training goldmine for your VA—and any future hires. Kathe reminds us never to do one-on-one trainings without recording: “Chances are, you're going to have to hire another virtual assistant someday.”Embrace cultural differences—be explicit with expectations, offer positive feedback, and always have clear agreements regarding pay, 13th month bonuses, and holidays. Tools like Hubstaff or TimeProof help with accountability by capturing regular screen shots of your VA's work.Compensation & RetentionPay competitively, offer regular bonuses, and recognize holidays. Both Kathe and Joanna emphasize generosity—helping your VA feel valued pays dividends in loyalty and performance. Clear key performance indicators (KPIs) and regular check-ins keep everyone on the same page.Final ThoughtsThe sooner you invest in hiring and training a VA, the sooner you'll reclaim your time for sales, strategy, and some well-deserved balance. As Kathe says, “Your life will change for the better from that point forward.”Ready to take your insurance business to the next level?

Enterprises face one common problem: the hidden costs of AI-based technical debt.“There's a lot of hype around AI, but many initiatives aren't founded in a business value proposition,” says Paul Brownell, CTO, Growth Acceleration Partners (GAP). “People wander in without an intentional path for ROI.” In this episode of the Don't Panic, It's Just Data podcast, host Douglas Laney, BARC Research and Advisory Fellow, and author of Infonomics and Data Juice, speaks with Paul Brownell from GAP and Frank Lavigne, Advisory Board Member of CloudArmy.The speakers ultimately agree that AI promises greater returns on investment (ROI). However, it's imperative to note – without a strong data foundation and strategy, AI can quickly turn into a financial nightmare.AI's Potential to Cause Technical Debt Alluding to a significant “leak in the bucket” for AI initiatives, Brownell says, "a lot of these projects aren't founded in a business value proposition." This can often lead to organisations "wandering in without an intentional path." Both Brownell and Lavigne agreed that the most overlooked and costly area is data engineering. Lavigne exemplified this by referring to a meme depicting a sleek F-35 jet labelled "your AI" flying above a pockmarked, potholed road labelled "your data infrastructure.""I think that pretty much says it all," Lavigne stated, highlighting the critical and often unglamorous role of data engineering. Brownell resonated with this, calling it "mundane, routine, detail, hard pick and shovel work."Without mighty data quality, data governance, and traceability, AI projects are built on unsteady ground. Such AI initiatives occasionally result in inaccuracies and create a lack of trust.Scientific Path to AI Initiatives in DataBrownell advocated for a scientific approach to AI initiatives to overcome the hidden costs and maximise ROI. He said, "Come up with a hypothesis around where the business value is going to be, then apply some prototyping. Do real-life experiments to prove out your theory." Such an approach allows organisations to adjust course quickly. "The larger the ship, the harder it is to turn. So if you have these smaller kinds of proofs of concept, you can kind of find out in smaller increments how far we're off course,” explained Lavigne. This lowers risk and paves the way for more experimentation.TakeawaysAI investments can create hidden financial burdens.Data readiness is crucial for successful AI initiatives.A hypothesis-driven approach can guide AI projects.Iterative experimentation leads to better outcomes.Data engineering is essential but often overlooked.Generative AI can assist in data pipeline management.Selecting AI tools requires flexibility and speed.Purpose-built AI models may outperform generative models.Organisations must foster a culture of continuous learning.Understanding the total cost of ownership for AI is vital.Chapters00:00 Uncovering AI Technical Debt04:56 Data Readiness for AI Initiatives09:55 Selecting the Right AI Tools13:06 Generative AI vs Predictive AI18:14 The Future of AI Development

However, how can you pick a fund? What should you look for?It can get a bit technical. And in this episode we run through the nitty gritty of exactly what criteria to look for when selecting a fund.This includes the underlying holdings, tracking errors, fees, fund size (or AUM 'Assets under management), and more.On top of this, when it actually comes to then picking a fund on an investment platform and actually investing your money, there are a few more important differences.What are they? They are differences in the fund provider, how dividends are treated and currency.This episode will be a very valuable listen if you are planning to invest into funds for the long term.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:34 - What is an ETF?2:25 - Why is this a good way to invest?3:54 - UCITS5:11 - Underlying holdings9:38 - Fees11:39 - Domicile13:50 - Tracking Error17:09 - Fund size, bid ask spreads, liquidity20:14 - Method of replication24:13 - Fund provider26:04 - Income vs Accumulation28:45 - Currency33:16 - SummaryListen to this podcast episode for the full details. -----------------------------------------------

In this episode of the Office of the CFO Podcast, John Siefert hosts Rob Ashe, VP of North America, SignUp Software, and Blaine Grzegorek, Senior Solution Architect, Sikich, for a conversation on the benefits of partnering with ISVs, top considerations when selecting an ISV, and the impact of AI agents.Key Takeaways: Risks of building your own solutions: One major risk that's becoming more prominent is having the expertise in-house to build custom solutions. Another hurdle is the upfront costs compared to subscription costs associated with many ISVs. Oftentimes, Ashe notes, "You have to spend a lot of capital on new tools...to make this new solution or change a process." Grzegorek suggests a third challenge which is meeting compelx needs. Oftentimes, industry expertise is also required, as you may be able to build the technology but might not be ready to translate the business needs to the ERP.Benefits of partnering with an ISV: A big reason organizations turn to ISVs is that they develop purpose-built solutions to address multiple different situations and multiple industries. "That's what I've found clients like about it, there might be a core functionality out of the box but it doesn't really handle every scenario," Grzegorek says. Working with ISVs provides expertise in various industries to consult with to address specific issues and needs.Considerations: Because ISVs work on these types of projects regularly, they are aware of more elements to take into consideration. For instance, Ashe describes how ISVs look at the landscape within Dynamics 365. It's important to consider how the solution will integrate with existing systems, how it will impact security, where data is being sourced from, and more.Selecting an ISV: When selecting an ISV, there are some qualities you should look for to ensure unexpected situations are taken care of. "The documentation they have, that speaks a lot to what they're able to contribute on an ongoing basis," Grzegorek says. Clients are looking for partnership, and working with an ISV is a partnership. You want to be confident that you can reach out to your ISV and get answers right away. "It's hard to see that before you actually start that partnership, so I go to that documentation of what the solution has, what it solves, and if that stuff is detailed...that is a huge indicator." Initial interactions with them are also a good sign of this.Multiple ISV solutions from a single vendor: It's always beneficial to have an ISV that can provide multiple solutions in different areas. One thing to look out for, Grzegorek highlights, is to make sure that the ISV has good alignment internally. Integration time is also a major focus, considering whether you have to integrate or if it's embedded in the system.AI agents and Microsoft Dynamics 365: While the solutions themselves are very powerful, AI agents can add a new level of efficiency. Ashe shares an example of how individuals are now running teams of agents to automate various functions. There are agents fulfilling individual functions within Dynamics 365 that customers are already using, so SignUp Software is like an extension of the platform and the workload. "We feel like we have a really strong value proposition to bring back to Microsoft to leverage the strength and the roadmap of the platform, but then also have immediately valuable solutions that they can take advantage of now," Ashe says.This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software.

George McLaughlin had been a successful McAlister's Deli franchisee prior to selling his interest in 2007. "Being out of the business was tough on me," he recalls. "I really missed the guest interaction and working with the staff.” So, 10 years later, McLaughlin opened his first Vicious Biscuit unit in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the counter-service breakfast and brunch concept offers fresh-baked "plate-sized" biscuits, sandwiches, and bowls. McLaughlin explains the importance of a concept's "points of difference". At Vicious Biscuit, they include a self-service jam and jelly bar and “touch-point” system of service. Vicious Biscuit staff are trained to execute five steps of guest service, including greeting and taking the guest's order, suggestive selling, meal delivery and pre-bussing, and a sincere “thank you”. They are cross-trained in various roles and they all share in the tip pool. Expansion of the concept has been steady since 2019 with nine locations operating in the Carolinas, Florida, Louisiana, and Ohio. "Growth through franchising has become our preferred choice, says McLaughlin, adding, “our Vicious Benefits program of good work-life balance, relative ease of operation, proper investment to sales ratio, and excellent support system is really attractive to potential franchisees." Four new franchised locations are scheduled to open within the next year. Selecting the right franchisees remains a top priority for McLaughlin. "Having a well-developed qualification process is essential in order to be certain we select brand ambassadors that fit our culture and commitment to service and community,” he explains. On average, it takes 18 months to open a new Vicious Biscuit location. However, growth has been slowed recently by real estate market challenges. Nevertheless, says McLaughlin, selecting the right place and choosing the right people is much more important than unit count to the concept's success.
What does it take to secure funding for asset-heavy, circular startups? In this episode, Jakob Röskamp, CFO at Traceless Materials, shares how customer validation builds investor confidence, why off-take agreements are key to de-risking CapEx-heavy models, and how combining equity, debt, and grants can reduce the cost of capital. While this series looks at how VCs select circular startups, it's equally important to understand how startups choose their investors. Jakob shares practical insights on what that process looks like from the startup side. He also talks about Traceless's approach to lifecycle assessments, as well as managing complexity when scaling a circular solution in the real world.

Through this podcast, you'll get a rare, behind-the-scenes look at real conversations between clients and their adviser.In Episode 3, Chris, the Client Adviser, meets with Jacqueline, the Lawyer, to refine the legacy plan for Richard and Eva by discussing the crucial role of the trustee. Their focus is on ensuring the trust funds are managed fairly and professionally to protect the family's harmony and uphold their values.Chris highlights the benefits of appointing a corporate trustee to avoid family conflicts, while Jacqueline explains the flexible trust supporting both children and elderly parents. After reviewing options based on service and fees, Richard and Eva choose their preferred trustee. The episode concludes with plans to draft legal documents and begin onboarding, moving their legacy plan forward.At Providend, we believe good legacy planning should preserve not just wealth, but also relationships.
