Private Equity organisations are in the fascinating position of having a view across many organisations, they help smaller organisations scale and have a strong grip on what works, and what doesn't, in scaling and optimising businesses. This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Bas Kamphuis, Founder and CEO, Wingspan, a company who seek to increase the value of software companies through cloud transformation, about what repeatable truths of cloud transformation can be learned from seeing the patterns working across multiple companies and what lessons we can be taken away.TLDR:01:00 The future of news 05:12 Cloud conversation with Bas Kamphuis38:18 The vital role of Cloud for Private Equity firms 44:24 Happy to be alive!

The 'energy transition' refers to the global energy sector's shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption — including oil, natural gas and coal — to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, as well as lithium-ion batteries. It is one of, if not the most, significant issues of our time. Tech can both help and hinder in this journey.This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Rob Easton, Senior Sales Manager, AWS Energy EMEA, AWS on how energy is made, how its moved and how its used, how Amazon are ready themselves as an organisation, but also how they are providing tools and services to allow other organisations to impact the carbon footprint of their tech and maybe more widely.

There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence, and specifically GenAI, has been one, if not the, most widely discussed and debated subjects of the year. The question of AI ethics and how seriously to take the impact of AI on society is one of the biggest and most polarising questions of our time. In this very special Christmas episode Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk about the ethical issues inherent in any technology use, which are specifically critical when it comes to AI, with Father Paolo Benanti, Professor of Ethics & Technology, Pontificia Università Gregoriana, Advisor in the Vatican and member of the Advisory Board to the General Secretary of the United Nations. We also cover the incredible roles he has with the Vatican and UN, how he frames ethical use of AI and 'The Rome call for AI Ethics'. We then talk about how the importance of understanding the challenges and risks of implementing AI.

Cyber has long been a top risk for businesses. However, it is still often perceived as an IT or tech issue, rather than the existential risk to the business that it could be. It is also likely that Cyber will continue to grow as an issue, and in complexity, as we enter the AI-age.This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Simon Hodgkinson, ex-FTSE 100 CISO & Board and Executive Advisor, about the history of the Cyber threat, current threat levels and attack surfaces, sensible mitigations and what is missing in the conversation that Boards and senior teams are having about the Cyber risk.

The logistics and distribution industry has undergone huge disruption in the age of e-commerce and particularly since the pandemic, driven by the huge rise in home shopping and expectations of customers. This week, Dave, Sjoukje and Rob talk to Alex Lorke, Director of Product Engineering, Royal Mail, about the long and storied history of the Royal Mail, an organisation that dates back hundreds of years, the current set of challenges driven by the market and how digital is helping the group move from interacting with the postbox to interacting with individuals all the way through the delivery supply chain.

Digital transformation in the retail sector helps create a more personalized and fluid shopping experience for customers. This allows retailers to customise their offerings based on customer preferences and behaviour. However, getting to that, with a sizeable legacy estate, remains a challenge.This week, Dave, Sjoukje and Rob talk to Sylvain Geron, Directeur Digital France & Infra Europe at Carrefour, about the transformation of Carrefour into digital retail company. A challenge that includes ensuring digital is at the centre of thinking around the customer and operation, dealing with legacy whilst modernising the store, the supply chain and supplier relationships, and the rhythms of cultural change that have to be aligned to transform end to end.

It should be a no brainer that more diverse teams deliver better and more customer appropriate outcomes and solutions. However, the gender balance in tech is not improving, and returning to work after children continues to be one of the main blockers.Dave, Sjoukje & Rob talk to Heather Black, Founder and CEO of Supermums, an organisation that focuses on Reducing the Gender Pay Gap, Supporting Women Returners, Increasing the Women in Tech and Addressing the Digital Skills Gap. We talk about how and why Supermums was founded, what challenges still exist today and how to break into tech as a part of returning to work.

Organisations are now responding to not just delivering the next wave of transformation, followed by a steady state execution period, but more a continued series of market and societal pressures, requiring almost continuous large scale responses.

The role of the CIO is changing, but so are many other CxO roles in the face of digital disruption. If anything, this is likely to accelerate in the coming years. This week, Dave, Sjoukje and Rob talk to Jed Griffiths, CDO, Microsoft UK, about why this role change is occurring, why its important that it is considered to be wider than the much discussed CIO role evolution and the three key things that modern leadership teams should be wrestling with today, in the face of accelerated transformational change.

The need to execute change in your organisation, either as proactive transformation or reactive to your market, has never been more demanding. This is the real ‘new normal'. How we frame and handle this, as humans, can make the difference between success and failure in the delivery of value from change and, importantly, in ensuring our good mental health.In a special episode to kick off season 3, Dave, Sjoukje and Rob go on an expedition with Erwin Visser, General Manager for Cloud Service Provider business at Microsoft Americas, and hear about his recent adventure climbing Mount Everest!
