Have you ever felt a little out of your depth when making an extra complex or brand new video type? Maybe AI could help. Host Matt Pierce shares his experience as someone used to creating training content, adapting to creating content for a commercial. We hear about the script drafting process, the challenges of balancing feasibility, including budget and resources, with creative ideas, and the different stages of storyboarding.Naturally, we should always look at tools to help us out in unfamiliar territory. So Matt breaks down how he's been using AI for tasks like creating casting calls, storyboarding, script analysis and prop identification, plus audio adjustments. While AI is great at doing some things, Matt's clear about one thing. It's not able to (nor should it) do everything. But it's getting genuinely good at lifting specific parts of the video creation process to new heights. Matt also highlights our growing AI toolkit across Camtasia, Screencast, and Audiate to help you achieve what you want to do with your videos faster and more efficiently.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 - 01:26 Introduction 01:26 - 04:07 The process of learning to write scripts for commercial videos 04:07 - 07:39 Storyboarding your video – from stick figures to AI-generated characters 07:39 - 09:13 Other ways you could use AI in the scripting and storyboarding stage09:13 - 10:19 How AI can improve background noise quality 10:19 - 11:18 What's coming in Camtasia and Audiate that will help you make high-level videos 11:18 - 12:29 We're at a turning point with AI 12:29 - 13:52 Matt's favorite use cases for AI in making videos 13:52 - 15:26 Tools to help you create and share videos 15:26 - 16:16 Outro Important links and mentions:Camtasia: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/Audiate: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/audiate/Screencast: https://www.techsmith.com/screencast.html/

Tish Baldez, a leading expert in management consulting, has worked with small and mid-sized consultancies and 20,000 professionals worldwide. She shares the trajectory of her career from an independent consultant to a managing partner and leader at P31 Consulting LLC, a training program for professionals in management consulting, life science, IT consulting, finance, banking and more, and how they became a 100% referral-only business. The Foundations of the P31 Training Program Tish introduced the foundations for consulting skills program about a year and a half ago, which enables small businesses hiring new analysts, consultants, and engagement managers without formal structure training on how to do consulting or work in a consultative way. The program focuses on providing foundational skills, storyboarding, and teaching how to synthesize data and communicate it meaningfully for clients. The program is currently running multiple sessions a year in the US, UK, and Latin America. The P31 Academy offer to help scale up and accelerate the learning curve of consultants, allowing them to be more effective and successful. Storyboard Presentations for Consultants Tish also trains 30-40% of their people on how to storyboard presentations in the traditional consulting way, teaching the principles of how it works and why it works. They also have a special version for scientists, medical professionals, and people working within Life Sciences or data science organizations, helping them become business fluent. This program helps them understand what they're presenting and translate it into language that is meaningful for their audience, making it easier for them to make decisions and take actions based on the presentations. The Foundation for Consulting Skills Program The foundation for consulting skills is a 100-day experience that combines online, self-directed, and self-paced learning in addition to a combination of in-person and virtual-led instruction with expert consultants. The program includes a three-day intensive, where participants work independently for a few weeks, then come together for a three-day intensive in different locations in the UK and the United States. The remaining weeks involve small group exercises and one-on-one coaching and group coaching sessions. The focus is on major transformational bills, such as skill development, practical application, and theory. The program ends with a celebration of completion. One unique aspect of the program is the incorporation of neuroscience, which is intentional about engaging the brain and getting synapses going to ensure learning sticks and becomes habitual. The program also uses brain exercises to activate both the left and right side of the brain. The program is fun, engaging and conducive to adult learning, with participants finding it challenging but ultimately gaining the necessary skills. Breaking Down the Consulting Skills Program The program typically has 20 participants, with four coaches in the room, two of whom serve as facilitators. Each pod is assigned to a coach, who ensures that the participants receive individual coaching and feedback. This approach helps maintain a one-to-five ratio, ensuring individual coaching and that participants feel comfortable participating without feeling overwhelmed. The program begins with framing the problem, teaching the hypothesis-based problem-solving model, breaking down analysis and synthesis into separate pieces. Storyboarding is introduced, with the principles and reasons behind its effectiveness, as well as articles and papers that have been studied and proven effective. The program also emphasizes content and messaging, with key messages supported by evidence. The final presentation is a case-based course that covers various industries, including science, data science, finance, and accounting. The purpose of the case-based training is to provide a good foundation upon which the participants can apply their skills. The Demographic Profile of Attendees Tish discusses the demographic profile of attendees, which includes people coming out of college, mid-career professionals, and robots. They initially intended to cater to individuals who were hired by their consultancies and needed training for their skills. However, they found that many consultants from industry had never been taught how to do consulting, leading to a need for foundational training. Tish also talks about the pricing for their programs, including a course that specifically addresses the unique needs of these experts, scientists, and medical professionals, who need to learn how to translate their brilliant work into meaningful messages that make sense for the business. The Key Values of a P31 Coach Tish discusses the role of facilitators in their business. They are looking for experienced consultants with a background in management consulting to facilitate effective training. They believe that consultants should not just be great lecturers but also be able to identify learning opportunities for the participants and make adjustments accordingly. The company has a core team with a leader in the UK, overseeing Latin American business, and overseeing the United States and Asia Pacific.The focus is on business transformation, not just skills development. The company aims to help consultants build relationships that last a lifetime, ensuring they bring value on an ongoing basis. As the business world has changed, the training they provide has evolved. One key aspect of their training is staying relevant and ahead of clients. Tish mentions that COVID-19 has changed the way they interact and engage with clients, and the skills needed to be effective have evolved.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
There is a massive difference between the physical ability to change and the intellectual capacity to change. Despite being counterintuitive, the intellectual capacity to change is much harder as that requires exploring ideas you might not be comfortable with. That requires exploring journeys you have never explored. And when you are undertaking such change initiatives at a massive scale where several power centers with authority might be involved, it might be nearly impossible to change. But if you followed the process of storyboarding where each step is carefully crafted and invested the right amount of time and investment, then the process might seem seamless.In today's episode, our guest, Brent Kedzierski, discusses the importance of storyboarding for digital transformation initiatives. He also discusses several stories of large global implementation where he was able to build consensus for global rollouts and explore operational and financial synergies at the Fortune 500 scale. Finally, he discusses several concepts related to change management, such as a sense of urgency, case for change, estimating the capacity to change, and actionable steps.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

The Art of Storyboarding for Product Managers Here's how storyboarding is used in product management: Idea Visualization: Storyboarding helps product managers transform abstract ideas or concepts into tangible and visual representations. It provides a clear and accessible way to convey product features and functionality. User Journey: Storyboards typically focus on the user's journey or experience with the product. They illustrate the steps a user takes to accomplish a specific task or goal within the product. Communication: Product managers use storyboards to communicate their vision to various stakeholders, including designers, developers, marketing teams, and executives. It can bridge the gap between technical details and high-level concepts. Feedback and Collaboration: Storyboarding encourages collaboration and feedback. Cross-functional teams can provide input and suggestions, leading to a more refined and well-rounded product concept. Alignment: Storyboards help ensure that everyone involved in the product development process has a shared understanding of the user experience and product requirements. It aids in aligning the team's efforts towards a common goal. User-Centric Design: By focusing on the user's perspective, storyboarding reinforces a user-centric approach to product development. It helps in designing products that meet user needs and expectations. Validation: Storyboards can be used to validate product concepts with potential users or target customers. By presenting a visual narrative, product managers can gather early feedback to make necessary adjustments. Iterations: Storyboards are not set in stone. They can be iterated upon and refined as the product concept evolves or based on feedback received during the development process.

The episode discussed on today's Sound Judgment is Believable: The Coco Berthmann Story. Karen worked with reporter/host Sara Ganim to create Believable.

Karen Given's takeawaysThese are the takeaways from the end of the episode. For more takeaways from all of our guests, subscribe to the Sound Judgment newsletter and visit our blog. Karen set out to tell Coco Berthmann's story as more than a basic scammer story. She wanted to investigate the social safety nets that allowed Coco's deception to happen in the first place. It's the concept of preventable harm: What makes for a much richer, more noteworthy and useful investigation is whether, in fact, the harm could have been prevented, by whom, and why it wasn't. Especially with true crime, there's a temptation to tell only a good yarn—the sensational one about the scammer. But those stories are like cotton candy — they might taste good at the time, but later you wonder why you bothered. Avoid creating unintended consequences. One of the most important and interesting lessons from Believable comes from the tricky line Karen and Sara walked. They needed to investigate the validity of Coco's story without casting doubt on the stories of every sex trafficking victim, which could have done significant harm. One way they did this — that I would certainly steal if I were you — was to establish early on what is generally known about a phenomenon or a process. We need to understand what's typical in order to get clarity on what's not. Storyboarding is a visual exercise. Karen's a huge fan of sticky notes—in fact, 3M, if you're listening, please name a line of Post-its after her. To get started, lay out your story beats on Post-its on a wall or in project management software like Trello or Asana. Trust me, you'll be moving things around for your entire production process. Make it easy on yourself. Karen Given is a podcast story editor, producer and host. Her most recent project was Believable: the Coco Berthmann Story. A veteran of public radio, Karen started out as a technical director and worked her way up to executive producer and host. Along the way, she won the national Edward R. Murrow award twice, in 2007 and 2017. She also writes Narrative Beat, a free newsletter for journalists and podcast makers who want to tell better stories.
