Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode is with a founder who is building mission-critical software for private equity firms.I sat down in Citywire's London studio with Venkat Subramaniam, the Co-Founder of DealsPlus, to discuss why he has built a digital solution to streamline, digitize, and automate the management of complex holding and capital structures for private equity firms.Historically, private equity firms have relied on humans and manual processes to manage and track cap tables, transactions, and entities. This process has required significant human intervention and has often been rife with errors, making deals harder to consummate and transactions. Venkat has taken his 15 years of experience advising private equity managers on cross-border transactions, most recently as an Associate Partner at EY UK, to build DealsPlus to create a single source of truth for capital structures for private equity firms. DealsPlus works with a number of industry-leading private equity firms and is backed by a private equity firm with $38B in AUM.Venkat and I had a fascinating conversation about the challenges private equity firms face with managing and tracking transactions and portfolio companies. We discussed:Why it's been so hard to create a cap table management solution for private equity.Why it's much harder to build software for private equity firms than venture capital firms.How private markets can move from the Excel Age to the Digital Age.How to build software that provides a single source of truth.The atomic unit of value in private markets.Building an end-to-end platform versus building a point solution.What's next in post-investment ops tech innovation?Thanks Venkat for coming on the show to share your thoughts and wisdom on private markets tech.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

In dieser Folge dreht sich alles um ein Thema, das viele Product Owner in der Praxis betrifft: Mehrere Backlogs. Obwohl die Regel im agilen Kontext „Ein Produkt, ein Product Backlog“ lautet, zeigt die Realität oft andere Szenarien. Dominique und Tim erklären wie man als Product Owner damit umgehen kann, wenn man gezwungen ist, mehr als ein Backlog zu verwalten. Bei mehreren Backlogs gibt es einige Herausforderungen. Oft entstehen sie, wenn ein Team an mehreren Produkten oder Services arbeitet, was die Organisation von Prioritäten erschwert. Ein weiteres häufiges Szenario ist die Aufteilung von Aufgaben nach Prozessschritten, etwa ein separates UX-Backlog oder ein Bug-Backlog. Diese unterschiedlichen Quellen und Aufteilungen führen leicht zu einem Verlust der Übersicht. Was ist wirklich wichtig, und welches Backlog hat Vorrang? Product Owner stehen dann oft vor der Frage, wie sie die Transparenz wahren und gleichzeitig strategisch arbeiten können, ohne sich in operativen Details zu verlieren. Die Lösung liegt häufig in einer besseren Organisation und klaren Strukturen. Statt mehrere Backlogs isoliert zu pflegen, empfiehlt es sich, alle Aufgaben in einem System wie Jira zu bündeln und mit Labels oder Filtern zu arbeiten. Dies erleichtert die Priorisierung und schafft eine „Single Source of Truth“ für alle Beteiligten. Zudem kann es sinnvoll sein, Ideen oder potenzielle Features zunächst außerhalb des eigentlichen Product Backlogs zu sammeln. Diese sollten jedoch nicht als zusätzliche Backlogs betrachtet werden, sondern als unterstützende Tools im Discovery-Prozess. Sobald eine Idee reif genug ist, gehört sie ins Product Backlog, um die Arbeit des Teams zu strukturieren und zu priorisieren. Ein weiterer Ansatz ist die Visualisierung der Arbeitsprozesse. Indem die Reise von Ideen und Anforderungen durch den Produktentwicklungsprozess sichtbar gemacht wird, können Teams und Stakeholder besser verstehen, wo welche Prioritäten liegen und welche Schritte nötig sind, um Ziele zu erreichen. Gleichzeitig gilt: Mut zur Einfachheit. Nicht jede Idee oder jedes Feedback muss umgesetzt werden. Wer mutig genug ist, Überflüssiges zu eliminieren, schafft Raum für das Wesentliche. Am Ende gilt vor allem: Für Product Owner, die mit mehreren Produkten und Backlogs arbeiten, ist eine klare Priorisierung entscheidend. Wenn spontane Aufgaben auftreten, hilft eine vorab festgelegte Rangordnung, Konflikte zu vermeiden und die Effizienz zu steigern. Weitere Tipps bekommt ihr in Folgen zu ähnlichen Themen: - Product Backlog organisieren (https://produktwerker.de/product-backlog-organisieren/) - Features wegwerfen - was braucht es dafür außer Mut?

In der heutigen Folge tauchen wir tief in die Herausforderungen des eCommerce ein und zeigen, warum der ROAS oft eine irreführende Kennzahl ist. Erfahre, wie du mit einer Single Source of Truth, datenbasiertem Controlling und klaren Prozessen deinen Profit optimieren kannst – statt dich von isolierten Zahlen wie dem ROAS blenden zu lassen. Besonders in Hochphasen wie Black Friday entscheidend! Viel Spaß!

Tom Solid and Paco Cantero are the minds behind the Paperless Movement, a consultancy and educational program for people who aspire to high performance in a fast-changing digital landscape.Which is to say, they're here to help us get shit done in a world of infinite bits and bytes, a world of 24/7 access to information, and a world which will grab our calendar by the short and curlies and impose a zillion external agendas upon us if we don't learn how to defend our time, our priorities, and our purpose.Rather than focus on the latest and greatest individual tools (the "it girls" of the productivity world), Tom and Paco emphasize the need to understand systems, and use tools for particular purposes to achieve desired results.We dive into their ICOR framework, and encounter such things as the Capturing Beast, the Single Source of Truth, and the pitfalls of using the internet as a "Second Brain."We also explore the difference between Deep and Shallow work, and why it's crucial to be deliberate in building time and space for the former. Here are the key takeaways, according to AI:Productivity is about performing at your best without burning out.Understanding that everything is a system can enhance productivity.Busy professionals can be productive if they have clarity in their tasks.Switching tools frequently can lead to confusion and inefficiency.A structured approach to productivity is essential for busy professionals.Continuous improvement happens naturally when systems are in place.Clarity in goals and tasks leads to better tool usage.It's not the tools that matter, but how you use them.A combination of small changes can lead to significant improvements.Ultimately, productivity is simply a means to achieve What Matters Most to us. Joyfully.With peace of mind.And on purpose.LinksPaperlessMovement.comICOR® Journey: Learn how to build your ultimate productivity system with any tools!

“What's interesting in financial services is that third-party risk management is very different than supplier risk management. When a financial institution looks at risk, they look at risk at the relationship level, not just at the supplier level.” - Arnaud Malardé, Director of Product Marketing, Ivalua In the highly-regulated financial services industry, effective third-party risk management is non-negotiable. It can make or break operational success, not to mention client trust. Even though avoiding risk altogether is not realistic, it doesn't have to feel like an uphill battle.  In this episode, Kelly Barner speaks with Arnaud Malardé, Director of Product Marketing at Ivalua, and Vivek Jayaraj, Managing Director at Deloitte Consulting LLP, about how procurement can turn third-party risk management into a strategic advantage for the business.  As they explain, streamlining business practices and supporting them with well-integrated digital platforms can create the best environment for managing third-party risk and achieving successful outcomes for the business.  They also share their ideas about: What a ‘single source of truth' for third party risk looks like in practice How to align risk management with supplier management  Best practices for leveraging AI in third-party risk management platforms Links: Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Arnaud Malardé on LinkedIn Vivek Jayaraj on LinkedIn Watch Again: Establishing a Single Source of Truth for Third Party Risk in Financial Services

Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Artyom Keydunov about the role of the semantic layer in your data platform Interview Introduction How did you get involved in the area of data management? Can you start by outlining the technical elements of what it means to have a "semantic layer"? In the past couple of years there was a rapid hype cycle around the "metrics layer" and "headless BI", which has largely faded. Can you give your assessment of the current state of the industry around the adoption/implementation of these concepts? What are the benefits of having a discrete service that offers the business metrics/semantic mappings as opposed to implementing those concepts as part of a more general system? (e.g. dbt, BI, warehouse marts, etc.) At what point does it become necessary/beneficial for a team to adopt such a service? What are the challenges involved in retrofitting a semantic layer into a production data system? evolution of requirements/usage patterns technical complexities/performance and cost optimization What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen Cube used? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on Cube? When is Cube/a semantic layer the wrong choice? What do you have planned for the future of Cube?

It's the foundation of any care access experience offered by a health system or hospital. Provider data powers a myriad of experiences that impact patients, providers, and staff members enterprise-wide. Unfortunately, the many back-end systems that house this data are often out of date and inconsistent, leading to a disjointed experience as people seek to access this information across an organization. Leading IT executives have found that investing in a provider data management strategy can help solve many of the data-oriented challenges they face today, enabling them to create a better experience for patients looking to schedule care and free-up time for employees tasked with keeping this often-changing information up to date. In this webinar we'll hear from leaders who are focused on improving this critical area of patient engagement and, with it, how they're driving innovation and operational efficiency.

In a recent episode, we were joined Matthias Lenz, a distinguished source in the dog training community. His evolution from a simple dog walker to a training director for puppies aiding the visually impaired is remarkably inspiring. Matthias joined us to address a critical issue within the dog training community: the division between the +R (positive reinforcement) and balanced training methodologies. His unique viewpoint highlights the urgent need for unity and understanding in this specialized field. Matthias's journey serves as a significant source of knowledge about the dog training community's internal conflicts. He voiced concerns regarding the escalating divide between the +R and balanced training factions. The +R community, proponents of positive reinforcement techniques, often hesitates to recognise the benefits of balanced training methods. Matthias points out that this discord impedes the development of a more holistic and effective dog training approach. Matthias underscores the necessity of open-mindedness within the dog training community. He contends that both +R and balanced trainers possess valuable insights. Nevertheless, the +R community's reluctance to collaborate with balanced trainers creates a formidable obstacle. This mindset restricts the flow of ideas and techniques that could advantageously serve both dogs and their trainers. Matthias's advocacy for a unified approach in dog training is a vital step towards fostering a more inclusive and efficient environment. Recognising the strengths of both +R and balanced training methods can lead to the development of more versatile and adaptable training strategies. It's essential for the dog training community to unite, share knowledge, and strive towards the shared goal of enhancing the lives of dogs Further details looking for great dog trainers and supporters of the canine paradigm?

In this podcast episode, co-hosts Tom and Paco Cantero delve into the complexities of digital note taking in business. They distinguish between shallow and deep thinking and stress the importance of using various tools for different note-taking scenarios. Discussing the common confusion about the 'best' note-taking app, they advocate a tool agnostic approach where users select the best tool depending on their individual use case, business environment, and brain processes. For them at the Paperless Movement, the current apps which best support their productivity system include Reader, Tana and Heptabase, each catering to different stages of shallow to deep thinking. However, they emphasize that these tools may differ for others based on their distinct knowledge management needs.

Research from a survey by Gartner found that the average quota attainment for sellers who are highly motivated is 1.7 times higher than those with low motivation. So, how can you drive productivity through enablement and motivate your teams to succeed? Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi and welcome to the Win Win Podcast. I'm your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Carly Foerster, senior manager of enablement at Classy. Thanks for joining, Carly! I'd love for you to tell us about yourself, your background, and your role. Carly Foerster: It’s an absolute pleasure to be here. Hey everyone, my name is Carly Foerster. I’m the Lead Enablement Manager over here at Classy, and I have been so thankful to have been with Classy for the past seven years. It’s wild to think that it’s been that long, and really what I love so much about this work is that we’re able to work every single day with incredible nonprofit organizations and help them raise more money to support their mission. I’ve worked at various levels of our sales organization. I was an SDR back in the day and I’ve been an account executive on the front lines. For the past five years, I’ve been on our enablement team. Again, I am really just grateful every day to learn something new, even seven years down the line, and to work with nonprofits as we mobilize the world for good. SS: I love that. Now, to start, because you’ve been with Classy, as you said, for seven years, tell us about the enablement journey at Classy, and what were the core components of your enablement strategy? CF: It’s a work of love here. It certainly has taken a while to get up and running through those five years, at least that I’ve been with the team, and really appreciative to our small but mighty team over here for making it happen. When I think about the enablement strategy at Classy, it really breaks down into three key guiding principles that we use to direct where we go with enablement in the now and in the future. The first one is that we focus on ensuring that every seller is successful. This truly is the guiding principle for our entire program. From the moment that a new hire in our sales or customer growth organizations is extended an offer for the team, we get right to work on curating what that pathway for success looks like. We have an onboarding and everboarding experience that’s centered in a 30, 60, and 90-day framework because we recognize that the first 90 days are crucial to that new hire’s development. That’s no new news to anyone in the enablement space. There are so many reports online where you can find that. We know that that is such an integral and crucial part of that development. Through those first 90 days, we are carefully crafting a mix of live training with experts, certification pathways, on-demand content via Highspot, of course, and coaching and anything we can to help them be successful. Ultimately, we set that strong foundation for sellers so that they can provide the best experience for our incredible nonprofit partners. That’s part one. Part two, ties actually hand in hand to part one, which is this drive to always be learning. That’s actually a personal core value that I’ve taken on in my time at Classy because this hunger for development is a philosophy that’s essential to personal and professional growth, especially in the nonprofit industry that we work within. We’re constantly seeking out ways to learn more about the future of fundraising and how we can better position and grow our product to help our nonprofit partners raise more to do more for their missions. Our ongoing enablement program for our sales and customer growth teams is going to be a varied mix of live trainings from industry experts, both internally and externally from our team. We assess and have strategic conversations with leadership to figure out what’s the next growth point for enablement, and have built out a lot of on-demand content and pathways through Highspot. That list goes on and on. Lastly, our third guiding principle here, I’ll wrap it up, is that we win as a team. This is something that I feel really fortunate about having been with Classy for the past seven years, is that we truly have this collaborative environment that’s across enablement, sales, marketing, operations, product, and any team that we have here on the ground. We are working together to ensure that we’re making every single seller successful, and by extension, we’re helping our nonprofits do more. We are leveraging and leaning into each other to build content in Highspot, to deliver live trainings, and to do as much as we can to be successful. Those are our three guiding principles and I’m always happy to share more about them. SS: Those are spot on what makes a strong team and a strong culture within an organization. Now, I do want to ask a little bit about the role that the enablement platform plays in your overall enablement strategy. CF: In this case, it’s Highspot for Classy, of course. That’s the reason why I’m on this podcast. In my mind, an enablement platform is central and integral as a component of a successful and scaled enablement program. I want to focus on that word scale because that’s where you can really create this trajectory for the future. There is very little that we do on the enablement team that doesn’t include some sort of play or asset that’s tied to it within Highspot because this serves as our source of truth hub of resources for our team that they’re able to send out to our nonprofit partners, but it also serves as that strategic training tool that we’re leveraging again every single day to teach our team new concepts and processes and products and soft skills and anything that’s needed for the future. As I said, if you’re looking to build out a really, really successful and solid scaled enablement program, having an enablement platform like this is absolutely essential to that journey. SS: I love that. Now, prior to Highspot, you had a different platform in place. Can you tell us about that experience and maybe some of the challenges your team was facing? CF: I’d love to focus more on the reasons why we found such value in Highspot because that’s what it all comes down to. Previously we had leveraged a similar platform that allowed us to store and share our content across our team and by extension, our nonprofit customers. Unfortunately, as happens in the technology space, it wasn’t the just right Goldilocks fit that we were looking for. That happens and that’s why we’re constantly evaluating and growing. I think on top of that, another challenge we had run into was just adoption of the platform itself was pretty low percentages we were seeing from sales and customer growth. We hadn’t quite built that trust in this system with those teams. Fortunately, we discovered Highspot as we were looking to evaluate some new tools and we discovered. It’s extremely easy to use a comprehensive toolset. In my mind when I look back, what it helped us do was really elevate our team’s ability to learn more at a faster pace and have extremely easy access to all of the resources that they needed to provide the best experience through sales and the customer journey for all of our nonprofit partners. On top of that, I talked about adoption being a little bit lower with the former platform we were using. With Highspot we’ve seen just astronomical adoption rates and a big piece of that is that we built trust early on with that team. We are really appreciative of the true partnership that we’ve seen, the human element with Highspot as well, and the intentional support we get from the team. Together we’re creating a more successful enablement environment at Classy. SS: You mentioned that with Highspot, your team has improved productivity and you are no longer bogged down with questions like, where’s this piece of content or where’s this training? Tell us more about that. How has a single source of truth helped you boost productivity? CF: Yeah, if I could put it in one word, it’s just immensely. I was thinking about this and remembering back to the days when we were answering questions. It felt like almost every half hour, and I’d estimate that roughly 30 to 40 percent of the daily work time of my team was spent just answering questions like, where is this resource, or do we have a resource for X, Y, Z? That’s a significant amount of time and energy that we were spending directing traffic for our team. I can’t say that I crunched numbers exactly, but if I were to estimate on the Highspot side of how much this has cut down that 30 to 40%, I’d have to say that I’m now down to about like 5 to 10% of my day is answering some of those directional questions. Even more so, it’s often that it’s a directional question paired with a, how do I use this? It’s a little bit more of an amplified question. I mean, what a difference that’s made for us, especially our enablement team where this frees up our time to focus on more proactive approaches to enablements and deliver more impactful resources to our sellers at a really fast pace. On top of that, we’ve heard great feedback from our sellers, and from our teams, since we’ve implemented Highspot, particularly around how easy it is to find the resources that we need. That’s really where we’re able to cut down on that time and pivot and focus on things that matter even more to us. SS: I love that. Now on the rep side of things, obviously in addition to improving productivity for enablement, how have you seen productivity improve for your sales reps? CF: Our sellers have provided great feedback since this has been implemented. It really underlines how Highspot is adding to its success with that productivity focus. It’s an easy-to-use single source of truth. That means that our sellers are spending less time waiting through the floating PDFs, the emails, the Slack messages, all of those sources where you’re like, where am I supposed to go here? They’re able to just go to one single source and easily use filters or search bars to find access to what they need. For me, when I take a look at that, that saves time for them to focus back on activities where they can invest more in meaningful conversations with our nonprofit partners, which is the ultimate goal of what we were looking for when we moved to Highspot as a partner. SS: The numbers speak for themselves. I mean, you guys have had a really strong adoption of Highspot since the onset. Your recurring usage rate is consistently at 85% or higher, which is amazing. What are some of your tips or best practices for driving the adoption of the platform amongst your reps? CF: Well, Shawnna, I’d like to say it’s all on me, but no. First things first, I really do have to give a shout-out to the amazing people that I have the good fortune to work with every single day. There’s a reason why I’ve stayed here for seven years. A lot of it goes back to the people that I get to surround myself with every day. I bring that up because it is due to the collaborative environment that we’ve built with this team through enablement, sales, customer growth, ops, marketing, and beyond that we’ve been able to build trust in software like Highspot so that when we deliver it to our sales and our customer growth organizations, they are ready to jump in head first and make it happen. As far as best practices go, I think the first part is just to make sure everyone’s on the same page so that when you go to deliver and implement a system like Highspot, everyone is trusting of what’s about to happen. The second thing that we’ve really focused on, and honestly could still be doing a better job of, is pulling in the keen members to the fold when we’re going through the planning process with new content and new plays and new spots that we’re launching to ensure that it’s meeting the needs of the people that it’s actually intended for. Reaching out to relevant teams, reaching out to even just high-performing reps to say, can you take a look at this before I put it up for everyone to see? I’d love to get your buy-in here. Then, on top of that, can you also be the person who shares this with your team because now it’s not just coming from one single source? It’s coming from the network and the collaborative environment that we’ve built out here. Those are two really big learning lessons that we had. A third one that I just thought of that I absolutely have to call out is the accountability piece. In particular, we got buy-in really early on from our leadership teams for this purchase of Highspot. I’m extremely thankful that we’ve been able to lean on them as what I’m going to call accountability allies. It’s not just that the assignments or the plays are coming from enablement, they are woven into the framework of what our leadership team is bumping down to their teams to focus on. It’s accountability, it’s collaborative, collaboration, and it is pulling the right folks into the room so that you’re getting the right feedback and you’re, you’re heading in the right direction together. SS: Now you mentioned plays and another area where you’ve been extremely strong in traction on our plays, which you guys have a 95 percent adoption rate, which is amazing, Carly, I have to say. What are your best practices for building effective sales plays? CF: There’s been a few key learnings along the way here, and I have to give a shout-out to our Highspot team that supports us because from the beginning we’ve had incredible resources and best practices that your team has shared to make sure that we’re successful. I think the first part of the success we found was identifying a framework that is impactful and accessible to the audience it’s intended for. Highspot is great at providing some templates, and we also just have our own experience, and what we know lands well with the team. We don’t stop there. You can find a framework, but we have to validate it. We validate it by taking it again to the intended audience, whether it’s to a relevant team that’s set up for whatever we’re about to launch a training on, or again, just a top performer or somebody that has a really good eye for detail. We take it to them and say, is this helpful? Is this an impact? If the answer is yes, we know that we’re headed in the right direction. Tying back to my earlier answer, accountability is also huge here. That’s where we really lean into our partnership with managers and leadership to, I don’t want to say enforce, but hold teams and hold ourselves accountable to completing the plays, the lessons, whatever it might be that we’re sending out via Highspot. Lastly, there’s such power in simply integrating this into every single part of your enablement structure. It’s not just that, Highspot is one floating area of what’s happening or your sales enablement platform is one floating area. It’s that you’re integrating it and weaving it into the ecosystem of enablement. One great example to think of is onboarding. It is pulling up those plays during onboarding, which we do every single onboarding class. We have them bookmark the most important ones to be using. We walk them through how to use them and where to find those resources. If you start from the beginning as a new hire and it’s just known that this is a part of what you do for enablement. That is the behavior that we’re enforcing through the rest of their time at Classy. SS: I love that behavior change, especially with reps, it’s absolutely crucial to getting them to adopt those new behaviors. What are some of the results that you’ve seen since leveraging sales plays, and how do you leverage them to help boost rep productivity? CF: It really depends on the type of play that’s being launched, because the way that we develop plays is there some sort of in some cases, not all cases, there’s some sort of KPI or measurement that we’re using based on whatever the content of the play is. If I were to think of an example of what this looks like for us, we often create plays that focus on cause areas for our nonprofit partners and cause areas are the mission, and the work that they deliver to their communities. These plays are really built to provide our sellers with an opportunity to not only be industry experts and experts in what we know, which is the value of Classy and the value of what we bring to our nonprofit partners, but to also be knowledgeable about the trends, the challenges, the structures, and more of nonprofits in those particular cause areas. In the nonprofit space, we know that our partners are oftentimes wearing a hundred proverbial hats, different roles that they have to cover. They don’t have the time to dedicate to helping educate us on the work that they do. We need to take that on ourselves to help empower the conversations we’re having. We are preparing our sellers to be really intentional and have impactful conversations that are tailored to those nonprofits’ specific needs, and also know how we’ve helped solve those challenges with similar organizations that we work with. We may tie a KPI to that around how we have been able to move the needle forward with organizations in a particular cause area after we’ve released that play. That’s really where we’re, we’re taking some measurements and we have seen the impacts when we are providing that education opportunity to empower our sellers to do more and know more. It is showing results on how many nonprofits we’re able to bring to our organization. We’re thankful for the opportunity to have that education. SS: Love that. Carly, last question for you. How do you plan to continue to evolve your enablement strategy in the next year, and how do you envision leveraging Highspot to help? CF: It’s a really big question to ask. There’s so much that we want to accomplish. I love that you’re asking it. I think in this always-learning mindset, we are always looking for ways to evolve and elevate the way that we enable our sellers. Our core focus is ensuring that we’re providing resources content and training that quickly elevates the expertise of our team and sets them on a trajectory for success in their personal and professional lives, which we know ultimately empowers them to provide a better experience for our nonprofit customers. The way that Highspot plays into that picture is this really is the foundation of what we’re providing our sellers. Where do they find the resources the assets and the guidance to provide that best-in-class experience so that we can deliver a world-class experience back to our nonprofits who are doing so much in this world? We’re really thankful to have Highspot on board with us. I’m thankful for the team that I’m able to work with every day. We’re on this journey together. We’re walking the road and we’re looking towards having an even more successful enablement program. SS: Well, Carly, thank you so much for joining us on this podcast today. I appreciate your time. CF: Absolutely. Shawnna, I appreciate you. SS: To our audience. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Win Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Crazy Wisdom Show Notes Guest: Rick Nucci Key Themes: The importance and business problems solved by Knowledge Management (KM). The role of AI in transforming Knowledge Management. Startup challenges, employee engagement, and leadership advice in times of rapid change. Summary: In this episode, we're joined by Rick Nucci, CEO of Guru, to delve into the field of Knowledge Management and how it's being transformed by AI. Rick shares his entrepreneurial journey and the critical business problems that Guru is designed to solve. We dive deep into the metrics around employee efficiency, the importance of transparency, and the role of AI in knowledge management. Rick also shares valuable insights for startup founders and CEOs on keeping teams engaged and aligned amidst rapid changes. Key Discussion Points: Knowledge Management (KM) is critical for improving business efficiency and customer experience. It aids in quickly disseminating necessary information to employees and aligning communication to customers. The value of metrics in evaluating the success of KM and getting buy-in from the company. The importance of understanding the pains of both employees and subject matter experts to avoid burnout and enhance efficiency. Knowledge Management helps in scaling businesses without compromising on learning and customer relationships. Change within organizations is inevitable and often difficult, but it offers valuable inflection points. Timely, transparent, and even messy communication can aid in managing this change. The pandemic has increased the importance of asynchronous communication, thus boosting the need for KM. The transformation of KM by AI is promising. Large Language Models (LLMs) can play a vital role in making information retrieval efficient, but it's crucial to establish trust in AI and ensure accuracy. A "Single Source of Truth" is impractical to achieve by storing all knowledge in one place. Instead, it's about providing employees with a unified place of access to accurate, cross-functional knowledge. Notable Quotes: "It's not about having all knowledge in one place, it's about giving employees one place they go to know what they need to do their job." "Lean into change. People value timeliness and transparency much more than they do polish." "Knowledge is power, but it's the transparency and sharing of knowledge that has exponential value."

Post Podcast Reflection: Rick Nucci offers a fresh perspective on the field of Knowledge Management and the intersection of AI.

New Zealand tried to hide from Covid. But Covid has found it. Mrs. Single Source of Truth looks foolish again… Medical schools have gone woke. New doctors now must learn about “intersectionality” and “privilege” like they learn about anatomy… The enemy of the Left is truth.  Are you required to be as faithful to the person with whom you are steadily dating as you would be to a spouse?  Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, declares her pronouns at a discussion about abortion “rights”… A Washington Post columnist is distraught that his daughter plays with a white doll. Who are the racists, again?... Another Washington Post writer couldn't wait to vaccinate her nine-month baby. Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
