A recent New York Times headline — “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” sparked a firestorm across social media. Bob Safian welcomes a leader pushing back on this notion with data and nuance: Alison Moore, CEO of Chief, the prestigious network for senior women executives. Drawing from an exclusive nationwide survey of women leaders, Moore unpacks how evolving career paths are being misread, why women-centered spaces remain vital, and the rise of the multihyphenate leader. As a former HBO executive, Moore also reveals how she's applying lessons from Game of Thrones to Chief, and how she stays attuned to the cultural pulse, from AI to shifting leadership expectations.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rimasys steht für eine der außergewöhnlichsten Ideen der medizinischen Ausbildung: Ein Trainingssystem für Chirurgen, das auf echten Körperspender-Präparaten und "echten" Verletzungen basiert und nicht wie üblich auf Plastikmodellen. In Köln entwickelt Marc Ebinger mit seinem Team Geräte, die Verletzungen wie gebrochene Handgelenke oder Ellenbogen an Körperspendern nachstellen können - inklusive Blutsimulation bei schweren Frakturen.Was heute international gefeiert wird, war ein juristischer und ethischer Drahtseilakt. "Wir wollten Knochenbrüche real imitieren, um Chirurgen auf Extremsituationen vorzubereiten", sagt Ebinger im Podcast. "Die Szene fanden wir erst verstörend, aber der medizinische Nutzen war offensichtlich."Denn: In der Ausbildung üben alle angehenden Mediziner an Leichen in der Anatomie. Verletzungen sucht man dort jedoch vergeblich.In Deutschland stand das Team bei der Entwicklung der Geräte mit Universitäten und Anatomie-Institutionen im engen Austausch. Weltweit arbeitet Rimasys zusätzlich mit Programmen für Körperspenden zusammen, etwa in den USA. "Wir können für jede einzelne Leihgabe minutiös nachweisen, was damit gemacht wird", so Ebinger. "Keine kommerzielle Nutzung, sondern echter Patienten- und Ausbildungsvorteil."Doch wenn der Gründer heute über seinen millionenschweren Exit bei Rimasys spricht, klingt das nicht nach Selfmade-Millionär. "Intellektuell wusste ich, ich hab's geschafft", sagt er im Podcast. "Aber emotional war ich ganz woanders unterwegs." Nach Jahren im Gründer-Hamsterrad, mit durchgearbeiteten Nächten, verpassten Familienfesten und zerbrochenen Beziehungen kam die große Leere. Kein Kick mehr, kein Adrenalin. Was jetzt? Die Antwort gibt's im Podcast."Startup - jetzt ganz ehrlich" - der Podcast mit Janna Linke.

On May 5, 1993, three 8-year-old boys were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. The tiny local police department launches an investigation but finds little physical evidence to lead them to a suspect. Eventually, outside pressure pushes them to charge someone with the killings, whether or not the evidence supports their conclusions.American Scandal takes you deep into the heart of America's dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they're caught. In our latest series, three teenage boys are falsely accused of a vicious triple homicide, but their story doesn't end with their trials or convictions. Instead, their plight will capture the imagination of the entire country and spark a campaign for justice that will last for almost two decades.

O futuro da agricultura está cada vez mais ligado às novas tecnologias. Em Angola, um dos exemplos é dado pela Kilunga. A Agritech angolana utiliza imagens de satélite e modelos de IA para monitorizar a saúde das culturas em tempo real e combina isso com ferramentas integradas de gestão agrícola, financeira e operacional que permitem a tomada de decisões agrícolas sustentáveis e baseadas em dados. A empresa de tecnologia agricola ajuda os agricultores a tomarem decisões e a melhorarem a produtividade de forma sustentável. O fundador e CEO da Startup, João N'vula, esteve recentemente em Portugal, na Websummit, a RFI aproveitou a ocasião para descobrir mais sobre o funcionamento de uma empresa como a Kilunga. Nós usamos satélites europeus para ajudar fazendeiros em Angola e agora estamos a expandir para a África, no geral, com a nossa parceria que temos com o Corredor do Lubito. O Corredor do Lobito é um dos corredores logísticos mais importantes de África neste momento. Está a expandir essa importância a nível mundial, inclusive a China, os Estados Unidos e os Emirados também estão com investimento pesado no Corredor do Lobito. E nós estamos lá para digitalizar as fazendas ao longo daquele corredor e expandir as nossas operações lá. O que é que um agricultor que adquira os vossos serviços vai poder ter? O agricultor que adquira os nossos serviços vai poder ter o controle da sua própria fazenda. Isso a nível espacial, a nível financeiro e não vai precisar perder muito tempo naquilo que é a gestão da própria actividade, porque terá tudo num único lugar, tanto a gestão financeira, a gestão de equipa, a gestão de tarefas, o cálculo automático dos custos e consegue ter toda aquela análise, todos aqueles indicadores financeiros que vão lhe ajudar a entender a saúde técnica e também, realmente, financeira da própria fazenda. Então, é isso que nós propomos a ele, rapidez na tomada de decisão e praticidade na visualização dos dados. Quem está no terreno, quem vai fazer o plantio ou a colheita, qual é o tipo de informação que pode recolher? Se vai fazer o plantio, ele vai precisar de dados climáticos. Esses dados climáticos vão-lhe dar quando é que vai chover e fazer o melhor planeamento. Para fazer o melhor planeamento, ele vai precisar cadastrar o talhão, na plataforma ele delimita o talhão. É como se ele estivesse fisicamente a arar a terra, fazer o tratamento e plantar as sementes. Ele faz o registo online, delimita a terra e dá o nome ao talhão, a geo-referência do talhão e as descrições do que vai ser feito aqui no talhão. Depois, vai para a parte do plantio, que está também na plataforma, e aí consegue escolher o talhão, escolher os insumos que vão estar no talhão, que vão estar naquele talhão, e também a data em que o talhão vai ser usado para o plantio. Aí ele consegue automaticamente, com base nesses dados, saber quanto é que ele vai gastar, e por aí já sabe quanto ele vai vender cada produto de maneira a ter o devido rendimento. Há doenças, há pragas, há teor de humidade no solo, … . Em que é que a vossa aplicação pode ajudar o agricultor, as cooperativas? A plataforma, por oferecer imagens de satélites, vamos lá desmistificar esse ponto... : Quando uma planta está de boa saúde, ela reflecte a luz do solo de uma certa maneira quando está saudável, então, o satélite, ao captar essas imagens, capta aquilo em quatro bandas do espectro eletromagnético, e infelizmente os nossos olhos não conseguem observar, mas o computador observa e o nosso algoritmo pega aquelas bandas e calcula. Assim consegue dar essas informações do índice de vegetação daquela zona e o índice de humidade daquela zona. Ele consegue saber, pelo índice de vegetação, consegue saber se a plantação está boa, onde está boa e onde está má e onde tem humidade ou não tem humidade, onde está completamente seco. Essas informações são cruciais para o monitoramento da fazenda e proporcionar uma actividade mais profissional e realmente mais comercial, porque vai poder ter a capacidade de produzir mais ainda e com mais qualidade. A partir do momento da recolha até à distribuição, qual é o papel da vossa aplicação? Os nossos clientes relatam um aumento de 40%, 60% das suas plantações. Então, nós observamos que eles estavam a ter um aumento, mas aí têm que vender a uma velocidade muito grande, porque senão os produtos acabam por estragar. E nós observamos, agora, um outro mercado aí e começamos agora a criar postos logísticos inteligentes para a stocagem (armazenamento) de produtos agrícolas. O que acontecia? Eles têm a necessidade de vender aquilo muito rápido, os escoadores cobravam muito caro, de acordo com a necessidade do cliente. Mas, já com um posto logístico inteligente, ele pode controlar tudo a partir da plataforma, ele tem a possibilidade e tem o tempo de esperar por propostas melhores, para negociar propostas melhores. Então, nós não temos carros para escoar, mas nós oferecemos a possibilidade de estocar. Por isso é que estamos entrando, também, no corredor do Lobito. Como é que está a ser a aceitação? Ainda é um problema, por isso é que nós estamos a investir, a levantar capital também para investir pesado na formação. Antes de vir cá, para Portugal, eu estava atrás de uma parceria com Universidade Mandume ya Ndemufayo (UMN) , uma universidade agrária, e também com alguns centros de formação que são especializados em cursos agrários, de tal maneira a ajudar as pessoas a entender a importância desses dados, a importância de trabalhar com informação precisa de maneiras a melhorar as suas actividades. Então, a literacia ainda é um problema. Tem zonas que nem telemóvel usam, quando usam a rede é escassa. Então, é um problema. Inclusive, eu já pude contribuir com o Governo participando da Estratégia Nacional de Inclusão Financeira. Também falando em inclusão financeira, estamos a envolver o digital. Então, tínhamos que pensar também na distribuição das redes e muito mais, como é que a informação chegaria até lá. Com a minha experiência de campo, com o projeto, já pude contribuir naquela área. E aí o Governo também está a começar a olhar nesse ponto e tentamos tratar aqui da digitalização que vai facilitar também a nossa entrada no mercado. A nível de área, qual é a área que já tem ao vosso cuidado? Quimbele, agora também estamos, Benguela, Lobito, exatamente, e estamos agora também no Cuanza Norte. São um total de 7 mil hectares. O Lobito estamos a entrar agora e pretendemos já atacar as fazendas que estão ao longo do corredor Lobito. Estiveram presentes na Web Summit, foi importante a vossa presença? Muito importante. Tivemos contacto com investidores internacionais, temos contacto com empresas e empreendedores que realmente podem agregar valor às nossas empresas. Consegui firmar uma parceria que vai levar a nossa solução para um outro nível, vai ajudar com que os nossos fazendeiros tenham portas abertas para o globo, venderem os seus produtos numa única plataforma e também importarem produtos sem múltiplas fontes. Numa única fonte conseguem importar os seus produtos sem ter necessidade de importar de vários pontos e perder a qualidade. Então, se temos um único ponto, onde eles podem confiar. Eles podem, simplesmente, entrar em contacto com aqueles que eles precisam. É, realmente, uma mais-valia para os nossos clientes e também para nós, porque estamos aqui a dar múltiplas oportunidades aos nossos clientes. Então, foi muito, muito, muito importante a nossa presença cá.
A corrida pelos semicondutores virou peça central da disputa tecnológica contemporânea. Entre todas as nações que tentam garantir seu espaço nessa arena, nenhuma avança tão rapidamente quanto a China. A pauta da autossuficiência tecnológica virou prioridade máxima em Pequim, e o setor de chips, antes um ponto vulnerável, transformou-se no centro de uma estratégia nacional de longo prazo. Thiago de Aragão, analista político Hoje, começa a ficar claro que a China está perigosamente próxima de alcançar independência em áreas que eram quase monopólio dos Estados Unidos e de seus aliados. Isso mexe profundamente com o equilíbrio geopolítico global, com as grandes empresas do setor e com o futuro da própria inovação. Até poucos anos atrás, a China importava praticamente tudo o que havia de sofisticado em semicondutores. Dependia de fornecedores estrangeiros para inteligência artificial, supercomputação e boa parte da indústria moderna. Mas decidiu inverter essa lógica. Por meio de políticas industriais agressivas, investimentos estatais bilionários e incentivos fiscais capazes de remodelar cidades inteiras, o país passou a construir uma cadeia de semicondutores completa, capaz de operar desde o design até a fabricação e o encapsulamento. Não foi um movimento tímido. A China atraiu engenheiros de outros países, formou centenas de milhares de profissionais qualificados, ergueu parques industriais dedicados exclusivamente ao setor e começou a desenvolver seus próprios equipamentos e softwares. Ainda há setores sensíveis em que o país não alcançou a liderança, como a litografia ultravioleta extrema, mas o avanço foi tão rápido que o atraso deixou de ser determinante. A Huawei, por exemplo, conseguiu produzir um smartphone com chip nacional de 7 nanômetros, algo que poucos analistas consideravam possível em tão pouco tempo. Pequim persegue a meta de autossuficiência não como retórica, mas como projeto de Estado de longo prazo. Esse avanço chinês ocorre ao mesmo tempo em que a disputa geopolítica entre China e Estados Unidos atinge temperaturas inéditas. Para os americanos, chips avançados deixaram de ser apenas componentes industriais e passaram a ser tratados como ativos fundamentais de segurança nacional. A resposta de Washington foi endurecer as regras de exportação, restringindo profundamente o acesso chinês aos semicondutores mais sofisticados e às máquinas usadas para produzi-los. A China, por sua vez, lê essas restrições como tentativa de contenção e responde reforçando sua própria musculatura industrial. Ao limitar exportações de minerais estratégicos e ao aumentar a escala de investimentos internos, Pequim sinaliza que está preparada para travar sua própria batalha assimétrica. O que antes era uma disputa essencialmente econômica virou uma disputa sistêmica entre dois modelos de poder. Impacto nos EUA Nesse ambiente, as gigantes do setor começaram a sentir impactos muito concretos. A Nvidia foi a mais atingida. Por anos, dominou o mercado chinês de chips de inteligência artificial. Quando os Estados Unidos restringiram a exportação dos modelos mais avançados, a empresa viu sua participação ser praticamente zerada no maior mercado de IA do planeta. Tentou adaptar-se criando versões menos potentes de seus chips, mas até essas passaram a enfrentar risco de bloqueio. Ao mesmo tempo, empresas chinesas se posicionaram para ocupar o espaço deixado. A Huawei avançou agressivamente com seus próprios chips de IA e passou a abastecer grande parte dos projetos domésticos. Startups chinesas ganharam impulso imediato, amparadas por um governo disposto a substituição tecnológica acelerada. Para a AMD e a Intel, o cenário segue a mesma linha. A exigência de que data centers ligados ao Estado utilizem apenas chips nacionais reduziu as perspectivas de crescimento dessas empresas e deixou claro que o impulso à autossuficiência chinesa não será revertido. Mesmo em PCs e servidores comuns, cresce a aposta chinesa em projetar e fabricar suas próprias CPUs e GPUs, erosão lenta porém contínua do espaço das fabricantes americanas. A Qualcomm enfrenta um tipo diferente de vulnerabilidade. Quase metade de sua receita global depende do ecossistema chinês de smartphones. Se a China consolidar produção própria de chips móveis em escala industrial, e se empresas como a Huawei retomarem posição dominante nas redes 5G e nos aparelhos premium, a Qualcomm enfrenta o risco real de perder um de seus pilares de receita. Revisão de estratégias Enquanto tudo isso acontece, o resto do mundo tenta reagir. Os Estados Unidos lançaram o CHIPS Act para trazer fábricas ao território nacional e fortalecer sua indústria. A Europa adotou suas próprias medidas, tentando recuperar relevância num setor que abandonou décadas atrás. Japão, Coreia do Sul, Taiwan e Índia entraram na disputa com incentivos fiscais, diplomacia tecnológica e promessas de redução de dependência externa. Pela primeira vez em décadas, países passaram a reorganizar cadeias de suprimento não pelo critério econômico clássico, mas por alinhamento político e percepção de risco. A lógica é simples: amigos produzem com amigos. O preço é a perda de eficiência e o aumento dos custos. O ganho é a sensação, ainda que relativa, de segurança estratégica. Mesmo assim, fragmentar um sistema global tão integrado quanto o dos semicondutores significa mexer com toda a estrutura da economia digital. As cadeias que antes conectavam Japão, Taiwan, Holanda, China e Estados Unidos passam agora a se reconfigurar em blocos paralelos, fragmentando o que já foi o setor mais globalizado do planeta. É um processo lento, caro e turbulento, mas inevitável à medida que as tensões aumentam. Avanço chinês Tudo isso mostra que o avanço chinês na fabricação de semicondutores não é um fato isolado. Ele redefine mercados, geopolítica e modelos de desenvolvimento. Empresas como Nvidia, AMD, Intel e Qualcomm percebem que, mesmo sendo líderes históricas, perderam um mercado onde o jogo mudou de regras. Países percebem que o fluxo de tecnologia deixou de ser neutro e se tornou arma estratégica. Consumidores perceberão, nos próximos anos, que existem tecnologias que só estarão disponíveis em determinados blocos, enquanto outros seguirão caminhos diferentes. A história ainda está sendo escrita, e ainda é cedo para dizer quem terá a vantagem definitiva. Mas uma coisa é clara: a disputa por chips é hoje a disputa pelo controle do futuro digital, da inteligência artificial, da computação avançada, da defesa e de tudo que depende de processamento. A China está acelerando, e o resto do mundo precisa decidir se corre junto, se cria obstáculos ou se tenta reinventar o jogo. O século XXI será escrito, em grande parte, por quem dominar essa indústria. E esse domínio já não está tão concentrado quanto esteve no passado recente.
I break down the true startup costs for a cash-based virtual practice and how I would set it up today. I keep it simple. Legal entity and a mailing address. Malpractice that matches my scope. HIPAA-compliant phone and messaging. A clean video visit setup. Solid intake and consent forms. Easy scheduling and payments. For the charting piece, I show how a light EHR-style workflow can be built with simple tools, and when to add an e-prescribing service like Dose Spot and lab accounts with Quest or Labcorp. I share where I would spend money and where I would hold back. The goal is a lean, reliable system that lets me deliver great care without drowning in software.

Il faut réagir et vite.La thèse de Laurent Alexandre est simple mais inquiétante : nos systèmes éducatifs et politiques sont — pour l'instant — incapables de s'adapter à la révolution technologique sans précédent qu'est l'IA.Depuis que les Large Language Model ont tous dépassé les 150 de QI, la donne a radicalement changé.L'homme, pour la première fois depuis son apparition, n'est plus l'espèce la plus intelligente de la planète Terre.Et les investissements colossaux des géants de la tech dans l'IA ne font que creuser le fossé qui nous sépare désormais de la machine.Qui dit nouveau paradigme dit nouveau livre : Laurent et et son co-auteur Olivier Babeau considèrent qu'en dehors des 20 écoles les plus prestigieuses du monde, il n'est plus utile de faire des études.Et que “le vrai capital aujourd'hui, c'est l'action”.Autrement dit : l'élite sera constituée de ceux qui s'approprient l'IA le plus tôt (dès la maternelle) et l'utilisent le plus intensément. Et non de ceux qui font 10 ans d'études supérieures.Pour son 3ème passage sur GDIY, Laurent — comme à son habitude — n'épargne rien ni personne :Pourquoi l'IA amplifie à grande échelle les inégalités intellectuelles — et comment y remédierComment se créer son propre I-AristotePourquoi il faut limoger tous les ministres et hauts fonctionnaires qui ne comprennent pas l'IAComment l'espérance de vie peut doubler d'ici 2030.Un épisode crucial pour ne pas être dépassé et savoir comment être du côté des gagnants dans cette révolutionVous pouvez contacter Laurent sur X et le suivre sur ses autres réseaux : Instagram et Linkedin.“Ne faites plus d'études : Apprendre autrement à l'ère de l'IA” est disponible dans toutes les bonnes librairies ou juste ici : https://amzn.to/4ahLYEBTIMELINE:00:00:00 : Le fossé social créé par la révolution technologique00:12:32 : Pourquoi le niveau général des politiques sur l'IA est désastreux ?00:20:06 : Bien prompter et minimiser les hallucinations des modèles00:25:49 : “Le monde de l'IA n'est pas fait pour les feignasses”00:36:46 : Le plus gros amplificateur d'inégalités de l'histoire00:43:04 : Fournir une IA tuteur personnalisée à chaque enfant00:53:41 : Les LLM ont-ils vraiment des biais cognitifs ?01:03:16 : 1 vs 2900 milliards : l'écart abyssal des investissements entre les US et l'Europe01:14:36 : Que valent les livres écrits en intégralité par des IA ?01:20:39 : L'ère des premiers robots plombiers01:27:45 : Les 4 grands conseils de Laurent et Olivier01:35:33 : Comment aider nos enfants à bien s'approprier les outils01:44:20 : Pourquoi les écoles du supérieur sont de moins en moins sélectives ?02:01:28 : La théorie de “l'internet mort”Les anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #327 - Laurent Alexandre - Auteur - ChatGPT & IA : “Dans 6 mois, il sera trop tard pour s'y intéresser”#165 - Laurent Alexandre - Doctissimo - La nécessité d'affirmer ses idées#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#500 - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - How to master humanity's most powerful invention#501 - Delphine Horvilleur - Rabbin, Écrivaine - Dialoguer quand tout nous divise#506 - Matthieu Ricard - Moine bouddhiste - Se libérer du chaos extérieur sans se couper du monde#450 - Karim Beguir - InstaDeep - L'IA Générale ?

This week, Rob Levin, who is co-founder of WorkBetterNow and who has just published a new book, the “New Talent Playbook,” talks about what he considers to be a talent crisis for small businesses. As Rob points out, you might think hiring would be easy these days given all of the recent corporate layoffs—but the people leaving big businesses are probably not the right hires for smaller businesses. Instead, Rob offers a step-by-step approach that emphasizes building a healthy culture where people want to work.
In this episode, I sit down with Wojciech Kaszycki — serial entrepreneur, business angel behind 19+ ventures, and the mind behind both Mobilium and BTCS.Wojciech shares how he went from building one of Poland's earliest e‑commerce platforms to pioneering fintech and crypto infrastructure. We explore why his teams focus on building real, regulated bridges between traditional finance and digital assets — not just hype.We dig into how Mobilium plans to let you use Bitcoin as collateral to spend or borrow against, and how BTCS builds a treasury + validator network to bring yield and Web3 services to a wider audience.He also gives practical advice for founders and investors: why a crowded “yes” may be a warning sign — and why sometimes it's the weird, rejected ideas that deserve to be built.If you care about honest, long-term crypto infrastructure and what it takes to build it — this one's for you.It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — and share this podcast with a friend. Be a guest on the podcast or contact us - https://www.web3pod.xyz/Key Learnings 00:00:10If your idea gets a unanimous “yes” from friends — that may be a red flag. Lack of skepticism could mean low barriers to entry and limited upside. 00:03:00My path: from building Poland's “Amazon‑like” e‑commerce to fintech and eventually entering crypto — bridging traditional finance with digital assets. 00:06:00With Mobilium, we don't just offer a crypto card — we hold real lending licenses so users can borrow against their Bitcoin without selling it. 00:11:00Mobilium's revenue comes from service fees on on‑ramps/off‑ramps, interchange fees from cards, and interest on crypto‑collateral loans. 00:13:00When building products — don't just build what you think is best. Test with real users. But beware: too many opinions can derail focus. 00:18:00BTCS combines a crypto treasury, staking/validator infrastructure, and smart yield strategies — aiming to grow with the value of crypto, not just fiat. 00:22:00Key metrics for BTCS: monthly reward ratio (yield vs net asset value) and compound growth of net asset value per share. 00:28:00Sometimes you're just early — don't be afraid to fail. If your vision holds, the market may catch up later.Connecthttps://www.mobilum.com/enhttps://x.com/Mobilumofficialhttps://x.com/wkaszyckihttps://www.linkedin.com/company/mobilumcom/https://www.linkedin.com/in/wojciechkaszycki/DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice.

** I'd be so grateful if you'd take five minutes and answer our annual survey. It'll help me make the show better for you! **Hey folks, it's Thanksgiving weekend here in the US and it's the time of year when we think about what we're grateful for, so today I'm re-sharing some words from perhaps the most grateful person I've ever had on the show. Kelsey Hightower is a legendary developer. And he has an incredible story. He went from sleeping in his car to becoming a pioneer in the Kubernetes world, a distinguished engineer at Google, and then... he retired. At the age of 42. Because he wanted to have more impact on the world than he thought he could have by advancing up the career ladder. So here are 15 minutes of my original interview with him, because some of the things he said — not about tech, but about humanity, gratitude, and prioritizing what matters — have really stuck with me.Here's the full interview, originally released in July 2024. We cover a lot, including how he became so good at live demos, why emotion is the key to great software — and storytelling — and how it's those “boring innovations” and mindset shifts you need to make as a technologist that will take you from “hello, world” to “hello, revenue.” ---Featured voices:Kelsey Hightower: "Retired, not tired" former distinguished engineer at Google and Kubernetes PioneerMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Piet Buyck, global technology executive, AI strategist, and author of AI Compass for SC Leaders. With more than 30 years leading innovative IT solutions, Piet is on a mission to make AI-driven planning easy, accessible, and human-centered.Piet introduces the concept of the AI Compass—a framework that blends generative, agentic, and narrow AI to guide leaders through the complexities of modern supply chain planning. Instead of treating AI as just another tool, the compass helps organizations navigate uncertainty, break down functional silos, and move toward a more adaptive, holistic decision-making model.He emphasizes that AI should never replace humans, but instead amplify their judgment. Piet explains how to operationalize a “human + AI” decision model using a balance of accuracy, transparency, and fairness—determining what to automate, what to supervise, and what must remain human-led.The conversation explores why supply chain planning has remained stubbornly manual despite decades of technological progress. Piet outlines entrenched habits—rigid processes, siloed KPIs, and opaque numbers—that prevent companies from becoming AI-first. He shows how organizations can shift toward a more dynamic, assumption-driven, data-aware planning culture.Looking ahead, Piet describes the cultural transformation required for supply chain teams to thrive in an AI-augmented world: embracing continuous learning, developing data literacy, unlearning outdated practices, and building confidence to collaborate with AI systems rather than fear them. With the right mindset and governance, he believes companies can unlock massive value—far beyond traditional planning improvements.A must-listen for supply chain leaders, innovators, and anyone navigating the intersection of AI and organizational transformation.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
