Ireland's three Regional Assemblies, in collaboration with the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO) at Maynooth University, are proud to announce the launch of the National Census Atlas, a groundbreaking tool that provides an unprecedented view of over 200 social, economic, and environmental indicators at the neighbourhood level across Ireland. Alongside this, a new section on the Regional Development Monitor (RDM) dedicated to key Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) indicators is also being unveiled. This pioneering atlas is hosted on the Tailte Éireann GeoHive platform via the Regional Development Monitor (RDM), enabling users to explore a wealth of data in an accessible and interactive format. From housing trends and employment statistics to environmental factors, the atlas delivers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, businesses, and citizens alike. The National Census Atlas offers: Neighbourhood-level insights: Detailed mapping of data for informed decision-making at the local level. Comprehensive indicators: Over 200 datasets covering critical aspects of Irish life, including demographics, social and cultural factors, education, health and wellbeing, housing, employment and economy, communications and ICT, and transport and commuting. User-friendly access: An intuitive interface powered by the GeoHive platform, making data exploration straightforward for all users. All data in the atlas comes from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) Census 2022 results, ensuring the most up-to-date and accurate representation of Ireland's social and economic characteristics. A Resource for Evidence-Based Planning and Beyond The National Census Atlas is primarily aimed at supporting the planning sector in Ireland, providing a robust resource for evidence-based planning and policymaking. It will be a useful support tool for Government Department and State bodies, local authorities, community groups and planning consultants. However, its applications extend far beyond, offering valuable insights for secondary and third-level students in understanding the social and economic characteristics of the country. Examples of the Tool in Use The National Census Atlas illustrates its potential to support current and future policy development for key social issues. For instance: Population change: The tool shows levels of population change over the last twenty years, highlighting areas of major population growth alongside regions experiencing continual population decline. Household heating sources: The atlas details variations in household heating methods within and across counties, providing essential data for policies aimed at achieving a just transition from fossil fuels. Employment clustering: Insights into the clustering of employment in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing industries, and professional services can guide regional economic development strategies. Religious affiliation trends: The tool reveals differing trends in religious affiliation between urban and rural areas, offering a nuanced understanding of cultural shifts. Commuting patterns: Detailed data on commuting patterns to cities and large towns helps inform transport and infrastructure planning. Setting Ireland Apart as an International Leader The National Census Atlas is unique in its scope and detail. No other country has developed a national resource as comprehensive as this, positioning Ireland as an example of international best practice. This innovative approach highlights Ireland's commitment to leveraging data for sustainable development and inclusive planning. Technological Advancements for Local Authorities One of the key advancements in this tool is its ability to allow local authorities to develop their own maps tailored to their specific areas - counties, cities and towns, local electoral areas and municipal districts. This feature empowers local authorities and elected members to better understand and respond to the unique needs of their commu...

Guest post by Adonis Celestine, senior director of Applause. 2025 will be the year of hyper-specialised Gen AI chatbots Up until now, generative AI chatbots have catered to a wide audience, who use them for a range of tasks like drafting emails, writing code, and conducting research. In 2025, we will start to see more hyperspecialised chatbots enter the market that are tailored to industries like healthcare, telecommunications, law, travel, etc. Unlike the generic Gen AI we are familiar with today, hyperspecialised Gen AI chatbots need to be trained on domain-specific data created by experts in each field, who also have the knowledge needed to gauge response accuracy and quality. This is important because, particularly in sectors like healthcare, where incorrect diagnoses or advice could have grave consequences, chatbots need to know what they are talking about. The good news for brands is that it's actually less intensive to train a Gen AI chatbot to perform very well in one specific area than to perform generally well across limitless topic areas and use cases. Businesses find Gen AI doesn't 'stack up' as legacy infrastructure hinders adoption Over the last couple of years, many companies launched Gen AI products that have not delivered value at best and completely failed at worst. In the rush to adopt the new technology, companies simply didn't spend enough time properly thinking their product through. They also didn't consider how difficult it is to get Gen AI's entirely new ecosystem to integrate with their legacy IT infrastructure. Data silos, compatibility issues, and change management challenges are causing problems. As with many projects that are often driven from the top down by company management, so much emphasis is put on speed to market that very serious concerns are overlooked. Little attention is given to 'minor' details like compatibility with existing systems or even thorough analyses of the use cases that could have the most impact on the business. Companies rolling out Gen AI products need to put more effort into the planning stage if they want to see a real return on investment. Automation gets a new lease with agentic AI in 2025 Despite its promise to streamline work, cut costs, and free up time, automation has not really delivered the productivity boost people imagined. While Gen AI has already driven automation forward through its code creation ability, it could not execute actions autonomously on the user's behalf. This will all change with agentic AI, which integrates with existing systems to perform actions. The combined power of generative and agentic AI means we can now automate entire processes end-to-end. Imagine you are having a conversation with a virtual health assistant: besides providing diagnostic information, soon it may be able to book a doctor's appointment for you, organise a taxi to the hospital and make a note to follow up on your recovery. The challenge in 2025 will be to integrate this technology with legacy IT stacks and upskill technical staff to navigate its complex architectures. In 2025, AI testing other AIs will become more mainstream You read it right: 2025, Gen AI will test Gen AI. The reason for this is that Gen AI is very difficult to test using traditional QA methods. Gen AI is nondeterministic, meaning that its responses are always unique and therefore impossible to predict. This complicates testing because some responses may pass tests while others fail. Large language models (LLMs) function on billions of parameters that control things like the relationship between words, contextual meaning and grammar, all of which need to be tested - which is logistically impossible for resource-constrained QA teams. Gen AI, on the other hand, has far greater computational power. Through techniques like benchmarking, where it compares Gen AI responses to example responses curated by humans, Gen AI can check all parameters in seconds. Techniques like these will become commonplace n...

Weightlifting came before powerlifting, but did you know weightlifting wasn't exactly the first barbell sport? Or rather, did you know that the first iteration of weightlifting was VERY different than what we see today in the Olympics? The history of weightlifting is fascinating, and in this episode of Iron Culture Drs Conor Heffernan and Cliff Harvey are back to share their experiences with, and the history of, All Around Lifting, the original barbell sport. With literally hundreds of potential lifts to compete in, All Around Lifters are barbell generalists rather than specialists, and both strong and versatile. Modern All Around meets are very similar to the original lifting competitions from the early 19th century before weightlifting centralised around the snatch, clean and jerk and clean and press (and eventually just the snatch and clean and jerk), and before modern strongman, powerlifting or CrossFit existed. While you may know Cliff Harvey as a nutrition researcher, he is also a former All Around world champion weightlifter and amateur historian. He shares his experience while Conor goes into the fascinating tale of how weightlifting began, and how modern All Around Lifting recaptures it. 00:00 Omar?

Jon interviews Doug Hodgson about balancing mental health and professional success in the high-pressure field of architecture. They discuss Doug's experiences and philosophies on workplace wellbeing, sustainability, and collaboration. Doug talks about the impact of his outdoor hobbies and the vital need for greater kindness and inclusion in the industry. The conversation highlights the mental health crisis in architecture, the overwhelming demands on professionals, and the toxic culture in architectural education and practice. Doug emphasises the importance of specialising and collaborating to maintain mental health and professional satisfaction. The episode aims to raise awareness and encourage discussions on improving mental health and wellbeing for architectural professionals.Today's Guest...Doug Hodgson is an Architect and leads the Retrofit agenda for New-works, a practice he co-founded to explore a new way of working, based on the principles of specialism and collaboration, wellbeing and sustainability - with a fundamental belief that wellbeing in the workplace generates better relationships and better architecture. Prior to New-works, Doug had co-founded TDO, was a Design Fellow at Cambridge University, and in 2020 was named in The Architects' Journal 40 under 40. Doug is passionate about improving mental health and wellbeing, and has found from his own experience of being proudly openly gay that there's an urgent need for greater kindness, understanding, and inclusion in the construction industry to make the profession more relevant.Episode Highlights...00:00 Introduction01:02 Meet Doug Hodgson: Redefining Workplace Wellbeing02:11 The Allotment: A Sanctuary During COVID05:40 Sustainability and Regenerative Materials in Architecture06:39 The Mental Health Crisis in Architecture12:02 The Impact of Architectural Education on Wellbeing21:46 Specialisation and Collaboration: A New Approach28:55 Next StepsKey Takeaways...Importance of Mental Health in Architecture: - The interview emphasises the critical state of mental health within the architecture profession. Jon and Doug discuss how overwhelming workloads, long hours, and unrealistic expectations can severely impact mental and physical well-being, leading to burnout.Need for Industry-wide Change: - To address the mental health crisis, a structural change is necessary within the profession and its education system. Doug highlights that the root of many mental health issues stems from the highly demanding and often abusive culture of architectural education. This oppressive environment is carried into professional practice, resulting in exploitative working conditions. Reform in both education and professional practices is needed.Specialisation and Collaboration: - Doug advocates for architects to specialise in areas they are passionate about and excel in, rather than trying to cover all aspects of a project. Collaborative efforts between specialised practices can lead to more effective and enjoyable work environments. This approach can help mitigate the overwhelming demands often placed on individual architects, contributing to better mental health and work-life balance.Links Mentioned In The Episode...Learn more about New-WorksConnect with Doug on LinkedIn—--Interested in working with Jon?

The top 50 secondaries investors globally raised $473.8 billion in the five years to the end of 2023, according to this year's SI 50. That's a 9 percent increase on last year's ranking, when $434.5 billion was recorded across a longer counting period of five-and-a-half years. Ardian took the top spot, raising $49.6 billion across the period, followed closely by Blackstone Strategic Partners, which raked in $49.5 billion. Lexington Partners, which holds the record for the largest secondaries fund ever raised, accumulated $36.7 billion in commitments, coming in at number three. Specialisation is driving much of this underlying growth – whether that be through asset class expansion, strategies focused down on LP-leds or GP-led deals, or picking a focus on a market segment with less secondary competition. Evergreen vehicles are also spurring on new avenues for secondaries capital raising. In this episode of Second Thoughts, senior reporter Madeleine Farman and Americas correspondent Hannah Zhang discuss how far these factors have driven growth in the SI 50 and how much room there is to grow further.

Tom shares insights on creating a structured and fulfilling workday, emphasising the need for specialisation and collaboration in architecture to handle these challenges. The conversation also touches upon personal passions and the importance of maintaining a work-life balance.Today's Guest...Tom Lewith is a Chartered Architect and co-founder of New-works. Prior to New-works he co-founded and ran TDO, a leading all-services architecture studio. The success of the practice and its work led to Tom being named in The Architects' Journal ‘40 under 40', and the studio featuring in the Architecture Foundation's ‘New Architects 3'. Big issues affecting the industry like climate change, mental health, AI, and the Building Safety Act demand fundamental change. So in 2024 Tom co-founded New-works to explore a new way of working based on the principles of specialism, collaboration, wellbeing and sustainability.Episode Highlights...00:00 Introduction00:56 Meet Tom Lewith: Architect and Innovator03:12 Tom's Journey into Architecture04:34 The Rise and Fall of TDO06:52 Challenges in the Architecture Industry11:42 The Birth of New-works16:52 Specialisation and Collaboration in Architecture24:02 Stagnation in Architecture Practices25:39 Embracing Change and Specialisation27:02 The Power of Saying No31:05 Introducing New-works31:33 NewWorks' Unique Approach to Architecture33:05 Structuring the Workday for Creativity36:59 Reflecting on the Evolution of Work Practices40:49 Final Thoughts and Takeaways43:45 A Personal Favorite Place45:03 Connecting with Tom LewithKey Takeaways...Specialisation and Collaboration: - Tom Lewith's approach with New-works highlights the importance of focusing on what you are passionate about and specialising in your strengths. By concentrating on the early stages of architecture (from initial client engagement to early design), New-works creates space for creativity and efficiency. Collaborating with partners who excel in other stages of a project ensures that the entire process is handled by experts, leading to better outcomes and more sustainable practice.Structured Workday for Better Productivity: - Implementing a structured workday is crucial for maintaining productivity and mental health. New Works starts their day with non-work activities to prepare mentally and physically, then dedicates a specific time block (10 AM to 2 PM) for deep work without interruptions. This focused period allows for significant progress on creative tasks, followed by a more flexible part of the day for emails, meetings, and other communications. This balance helps reduce anxiety and ensure a productive and enjoyable workday.The Power of Saying “No”: - To create a sustainable and profitable architecture practice, it is essential to say "no" to projects and clients that do not align with your core strengths and passions. By focusing on what they do best, architects can deliver higher quality work and maintain their enthusiasm for their projects. Saying no also helps define your unique value proposition, making it easier to attract the right clients and opportunities that match your expertise.Links Mentioned In The Episode...Learn more about New Works >

This episode is sponsored by UBS Asset Management and Proskauer Rose The global secondaries market has grown from roughly $47 billion in 2014 to more than $100 billion today. In Europe, fragmentation has led to some significant regional differences. However, it is also clear that many of the trends and dynamics found in the European market are the same as in North America – indeed, some of these developments occurred there first. In the penultimate episode of the Decade of Secondaries Investing podcast miniseries, we sit down with Jochen Mende, an executive director responsible for secondaries transactions at UBS Asset Management, and Bruno Bertrand-Delfau, partner and co-head of secondaries transactions and liquidity solutions at Proskauer Rose. The pair discuss how the European secondaries market has developed over the past decade, how it compares with the North American market and what's in store for GP-led and LP-led transactions globally.

भारत में आर्थिक विश्लेषण अक्सर राज्य-केंद्रित होता है। हालाँकि, राज्यों के भीतर भी काफ़ी आर्थिक भिन्नताएँ हैं। भारत को क्षेत्रीय विविधता के नज़रिए से देखना शायद ज़्यादा सटीक होगा- 85 क्षेत्रों का देश, जिनमें से प्रत्येक की अपनी अर्थव्यवस्था, भौगोलिक पहचान, संसाधन और कुशलता हैं। इस नज़रिए से भारत कैसा दिखता है? क्षेत्रीय स्तर पर विश्लेषण से हम भारत के बारे में क्या सीख सकते हैं? इस विषय पर विस्तार से  चर्चा के लिए पुलिया पर जुड़ती है अर्थशात्री और लेखिका डॉ. पूर्णिमा डोरे।Economic analysis in India is often state-centric. However, there is quite some economic divergence even within states. It's probably more accurate to look at India through the lens of its regional diversity-a country of 85 regions, each with their own economy, geographic identity, resources and skill sets. What can we learn about India when we adopt this lens? To discuss this, we talk to Dr. Poornima Dore, an economist and author of ‘Regional Economic Diversity'. We discuss:* Why focus on regional diversity?* Are regions political entities too?* Understanding the agglomeration effect* Who comes first? Industry or people?* A lack of regional political consciousness?* Planning at regional level* Specialisation or Diversification?* Enabling conditions and organic growthReadings:Regional Economic Diversity: Lessons from an Emergent India by Poornima Dore and K.

#audiomo Day7: Relevance in the Age of SpecialisationAs a generalist in a specialist's world, can I be truly heard? Is the age of the generalist a thing of the past in a world that seems to value ultra-specific niches?

In this episode of Classroom to Business, Kirsty offers invaluable insights into the strategic decision-making process for tutors pondering whether to specialise or diversify their tutoring services.  As she delves into the question, "Should I just specialise or niche down in one subject area for my tutoring business?", listeners are treated to a thorough analysis of the benefits and challenges associated with each approach. Her expertise sheds light on the impact of these decisions on the growth and direction of a tutoring business. Kirsty outlines the advantages of specialisation (niching down), including gaining expert status, streamlined marketing efforts and resource optimisation; all of these benefits contribute to a more clearly defined business model that can lead to higher efficiency and potentially greater success.  On the flip side, she acknowledges the perceived challenges such as a limited client base and the trade-offs in market reach. In drawing from her experiences and those of her clients, Kirsty strongly advocates for identifying and leveraging one's superpower – an area of expertise or a particular teaching approach that sets them apart. Specialisation vs diversification is not just a straightforward choice, but requires consideration of factors like market demand, personal passions and long-term objectives. By interweaving potential solutions, such as affiliate agreements and hiring specialised staff, Kirsty provides actionable strategies for overcoming any obstacles to achieving a profitable and satisfying tutoring business.   If you want help to define the direction of your tutoring business, then BOOK A FREE CALL HERE and chat one-on-one with Kirsty.   If you have a tutoring business and want to join the FREE 3-part mini course 'Tutoring Business Breakthrough', you can register HERE to secure your spot.  LOVE THE PODCAST?  Please make sure you leave a review.  I absolutely LOVE hearing from you.

Summary Shrimp Welfare Project launched in Sep 2021, via the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program. We aim to reduce the suffering of billions of farmed shrimps. This post summarises our work to date, what we plan to work on going forward, and clarifies areas where we're not focusing our attention. This post was written to coincide with the launch of our new (Shr)Impact page on our website.

The idea that offering a wide range of services will make your business more appealing to potential clients is a common misconception. When in fact ... the opposite is true. I'm not one to cause arguments, but ... TODAY I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE SOME OF YOUR BELIEFS AROUND SPECIALISATION VS GENERALISATION. Just think about it... You need help with the social media for your agency. Who will you turn to for the best results? A general do-it-all-but-the-kitchen-sink marketing business, or ...a social media specialist?
