Dans cet épisode de Yes We Care, Faustine Duriez reçoit Jonathan Salmona, co-fondateur de Shodo, une ESN qui hacke les codes du secteur. Shodo, c'est 150 collaborateurs, 16 millions de chiffre d'affaires… et un modèle radicalement différent. Redistribution des marges, capital ouvert à tous, semaine de 4 jours, transparence salariale, congés menstruels ou parentaux élargis… mais sans jamais sacrifier la performance. Jonathan partage comment, en partant d'un constat simple – un turnover insoutenable et une déconnexion entre discours RH et réalité – il a co-construit avec les développeurs un modèle de salariat désirable. Et ça fonctionne : 5 % de turnover, 95 % de transformation des candidatures, et une marque employeur qui attire (et filtre) naturellement. Dans cet épisode, on découvre : - Comment Shodo a hacké les pratiques classiques des ESN avec une transparence radicale et un modèle redistributif. - Comment ils ont mis fin aux entretiens annuels, aux négos salariales et à l'approche top-down du management. - Pourquoi Jonathan défend un salariat "cool", qui respecte l'intelligence et la liberté des individus. - Comment cette approche attire les bons profils et responsabilise vraiment, sans angélisme. - Ce que ça change, concrètement, en termes d'efficacité, de croissance... et de sérénité. Un épisode pour tous ceux qui pensent qu'on peut réconcilier performance, justice sociale, et plaisir de bosser ensemble ! Hébergé par Ausha.

Third-level students studying STEM subjects or Leaving Certificate students considering a third-level course in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) are eligible to apply. Seeds for the Future is Huawei's globally-recognised Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) flagship programme, the longest-running CSR initiative across the world. This program seeks to develop local talent, share knowledge, increase ICT sector awareness & enthusiasm, and foster digital community building. This year, the programme will take place over five days in Rome (July 1-6), where students will meet and work on their 'Tech4Good' projects as well as availing of leadership courses and ICT courses on AI, 5G, Cloud computing and digital power. At the end of their stay, the teams will pitch their ideas, and the regional champions will join the Tech4Good Global Final in China in 2025. The students from Irish universities selected for this year's programme will each be awarded a 1000-euro bursary. To apply for the programme, students should send their CV, a transcript of their academic records, and a cover letter of 400-600 words and/or a three-minute personal video reflecting their objectives to participate to seedsireland@huawei.com.

Open Supply Hub is more than just a database; it's a movement towards a more ethical and sustainable future. By crowdsourcing data and providing a unique identifier for facilities, they've created a system that benefits everyone from brands to auditors and even the workers themselves.   Today's conversation covers the inception of Open Supply Hub and its evolution. Executive Director Natalie Grillon recounts her time in Uganda, working with an agricultural development company as part of a global fellowship with Acumen. This experience, coupled with her exposure to the aftermath of the heart-breaking Rana Plaza collapse, fueled her determination to make a change. She realized the powerlessness of consumers and farmers alike within the opaque supply chain and set out to empower them with the data they deserved.   Open Supply Hub is at the forefront of a revolution; its impact ranges from remedying worker's rights violations to facilitating collaborations that lead to better standards and reduced emissions.    > Transcript on website   RATE, WRITE, SUBSCRIBE Be sure to leave us a rating on Spotify or a review on Apple Podcasts!   Wicked problems require more than one line of thought — was there anything you agreed or disagreed with?

"It takes a network to fight a network" (D. S.)   In the labyrinth of global corruption and organized crime, a beacon of truth shines through the data-driven work of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). This episode takes a deep dive with co-founder Drew Sullivan as he shares the story behind the most comprehensive database on international corruption.    By aggregating billions of data points, from public records to leaked documents, OCCRP empowers journalists worldwide to uncover the intricate networks of criminal activity. But the journey wasn't simple. Drew recounts the organic evolution into a robust, open-source platform that serves as an indispensable resource for investigative journalism.   The conversation also explores the critical role of a tech-savvy vision within nonprofits, the necessity of a mission-driven CTO, and the importance of building an ecosystem rather than an empire. As OCCRP continues to lay the groundwork for a more transparent world, their work stands as a testament to the transformative power of technology when aligned with unwavering dedication to the public interest.   > Transcript on website   RATE, WRITE, SUBSCRIBE Be sure to leave us a rating on Spotify or a review on Apple Podcasts!   Wicked problems require more than one line of thought — was there anything you agreed or disagreed with?

“Seeing is no longer believing. You need to fortify the truth.” (Y.A.T.)   Generative AI, deepfakes… we've known the risks for a while, but the dangers feel ever closer given the amazing advancements of orgs like OpenAI. Meanwhile, human rights activists have faced these risks for years (think of doctored videos, misleading evidence, or the total absence of context).    Witness was ahead of its time by giving people tools to document human rights violations (departing from conventional notions of “acquiring data”) and prioritizing authenticity, personal security, and safety, particularly through its focus on human rights use cases. This issue of authenticity is a major one: Despite the ongoing challenge of combating weaponized misinformation and disinformation, organizations like Witness have been navigating all the complexities of trust - trusting the source, but also trusting those who are making the tools to document the truth, especially across cultural and social barriers.    Yvette is an advisor/consultant/board member, and previously Executive Director of Witness, with decades of experience leading org design and ecosystem thinking at the intersection of human rights, video, and technology. Tune in to hear about how she has been addressing the issue of trust and authenticity in media!    > Transcript on website   RATE, WRITE, SUBSCRIBE Be sure to leave us a rating on Spotify or a review on Apple Podcasts!   Wicked problems require more than one line of thought — was there anything you agreed or disagreed with?

Huawei Ireland has launched the 2022 edition of its flagship talent programme ‘Seeds for the Future'. Third-level students studying STEM subjects at Irish universities or leaving certificate students considering a third-level course in STEM are eligible to apply. There is a €250K scholarship fund for the programme with the 50 top-performing students each receiving €5,000. The 2022 ‘Seeds for the Future' programme will be limited to 100 students with the course taking place on 24 – 31 October. Since its inception in 2015, over 170 students from Irish universities have benefitted from this unique learning and cultural experience. Students take a variety of basic and advanced courses covering the latest innovations in smart cities, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, 5G, and the Internet of Things. Guest lectures on digital transformation, sustainable technology, and strategic leadership are delivered by Huawei senior engineers and industry thought-leaders. The 2022 programme will also see students take part in team exercises including Huawei's Tech4Good project, which challenges participants to examine how to leverage technology to address pressing social and environmental issues. To apply, students should send their CV, a transcript of their academic records, and an essay of 400 – 600 words or a 2-3 minute motivation video reflecting their interests and why they should be chosen to take part, to seedsireland@huawei.com. Students can also find out more information about the programme through the Seeds for the Future official website. The deadline for submissions is 10 October. Announcing the 2022 scholarship fund, Luke McDonnell, Senior Communications Manager, Huawei Ireland, said: “Despite all the current uncertainty and challenges, we're proud that we can deliver another €250,000 scholarship fund for the Ireland Seeds for the Future programme and that a further 50 students will benefit from a €5,000 bursary. Huawei is committed to creating value for the communities where we operate, and this scholarship fund will go some part of the way in helping students with the rising cost of living. It is important that we do whatever we can to help and nurture the youth of today because they will become the leaders of tomorrow and our future workforce. We will continue to invest in Ireland's future ICT workforce, and we see this scholarship programme as another way to help these students enhance their capabilities as they continue or indeed embark on their studies in STEM.” Students that secure a place on the 2022 programme will be given the unique opportunity to experience virtual tours of Huawei's campuses, the company's flagship store in central Shenzhen, alongside Chinese culture experiences like panda tours, tours of famous landmarks and insights into modern Chinese businesses. The scholarship was awarded in 2021 to the top 50 Seeds graduates from nine universities around the country, with the bulk hailing from TU Dublin, UCD, Trinity, UCC and NUIG. The awarding event was held at TU Dublin's Grangegorman campus, with speeches from Minister for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation Robert Troy TD, Huawei Ireland CEO Tony Yangxu and student representatives.

Dans l'épisode du jour, Eneric Lopez, Directeur Intelligence Artificielle chez Microsoft explique à travers de nombreux cas d'usages comment l'IA se démocratise dans tous les secteurs. A travers son expérience chez Microsoft, Eneric accompagne au quotidien des projets très variés. Qu'il s'agisse de maintenance prédictive pour la SNCF ou de projets TechForGood à dimension philanthropique, l'Intelligence Artificielle est loin d'avoir dévoilé tous ses secrets. L'exemple du projet Beeodiversity est à ce titre saisissant : l'analyse de grains de pollen récoltés par des abeilles permet aujourd'hui de cartographier avec précision l'état de la pollution d'un endroit à l'autre, et d'en comprendre les causes. Eneric se réjouit de la démocratisation de l'IA : “Dans les prochaines années, l'utilisateur lambda pourra utiliser l'IA. Ça permettra aux TPE et PME d'avoir des solutions low-code pour gagner du temps sur les tâches rébarbatives”. Avant de poser un constat : “Cette automatisation pose 2 questions : Quelles compétences l'IA nécessitera-t-elle dans mon entreprise ? Et quelle sera la place de l'humain dans un monde automatisé ? Chez Microsoft, nous sommes convaincus que l'IA va amplifier l'ingéniosité humaine. Les compétences transversales que sont la stratégie, l'empathie, la communication et la compréhension, vont devenir de plus en plus importantes ! ” Bonne écoute ! Merci à Hélène Vanwaes et Yann Orpin pour leur participation. Les Carnets de l'IA est un podcast proposé par la Cité de l'IA.

We've arrived at the end of season 1! In this episode, Jim reviews some of the top insights from our interviewees, reconfirming why tech is vital to social change at scale and why it is equally vital to understand the limits of that technology and how to do develop it ethically.  

Techsoup può essere considerato come uno strumento di "fundsaving" in ambito tecnologico - ci racconta Fabio Fraticelli, Chief Operating Officer di TechSoup Italia - perché permette alle organizzazioni di risparmiare denaro e risorse e raggiungere meglio i propri obiettivi. In questa puntata di D-Tech Podcast impariamo a conoscere una organizzazione presente in 236 paesi accanto a 1,5 milioni di organizzazioni senza scopo di lucro; presente in Italia dal 2014, TechSoup Italia accompagna oltre 22 mila organizzazioni fornendo differenti servizi, dalla cessione di softwari gratuiti o a prezzi fortemente scontati(zoom, google, pacchetto microsoft office...), hardwari ricondizionati (pc, stampanti, lavagne LIM, videoproiettori...), expertise tecniche, formazioni e molto altro ancora.

Una volta ottenuti i fondi, come superare lo scoglio della rendicontazione? Antonio Tondi, officer amministrativo di Amref Italia ci guida in un aspetto tanto fondamentale quanto temuto della vita associativa.Le associazioni e organizzazioni più piccole o meno strutturate spesso si trovano in difficoltà a gestire tutti gli aspetti amministrativi legati alle loro iniziative, tra spese eleggibili, pezze giustificative, report, timesheet ecc; non è raro che nell'organizzazione una sola persona sia al contempo focal point, project manager, responsabile amministrativo o segretario, a seconda delle situazioni.

La ricerca di fondi è un elemento che accomuna sia le imprese profit che quelle non profit. La creatività costa, il capitale umano e le materie prime hanno un costo e per le organizzazioni riuscire a raccogliere fondi è una questione di sopravvivenza. In questa puntata vi raccontiamo la differenza tra #crowdfunding e #fundraising, due termini usati come sinonimi che però si riferiscono a due scopi diversi. Oltre a come sviluppare una strategia efficace in questa puntata si parla anche delle piattaforme più usate, tra cui Kickstarter, Indiegogo e GoFundMeAscolta le puntate di D-Tech insieme alla host Ada Ugo Abara e scopri i servizi extra e gli approfondimenti su www.dtech4good.com, segui D-tech 4Good su LinkedIn e @dtech.podcast su IG, Fb e TikTok direttamente da https://linktr.ee/dtech.podcast

Emily Jacobi is the co-founder of Digital Democracy, a non-profit dedicated to empowering marginalized communities with the support of tech tools. Among other things, Digital Democracy has been working with local partners from Haiti to Peru to track cultural and geographical data, which was then used as legally effective testimony against harmful corporate practices. Key lessons: co-design and accompaniment; the effectiveness of mapping one's political and cultural presence; the power of data (sovereignty).

Cette semaine, je vais vous faire rêver… Rêver à un monde digital, inclusif et responsable. Une utopie, pensez-vous ? En fait, ce monde existe déjà et MAUD SARDA l'a fait.    Il y a 6 ans, Maud créait LABEL EMMAUS, un site web de vente de produits d'occasion. Comme la marketplace d'Amazon ou le site web du Bon Coin. Tout pareil… mais très différent tout de même… Sur Label Emmaüs, les 1,5 million d'objets présentés à la vente sont des objets que vous avez apportés dans les magasins Emmaüs ou dans d'autres structures associatives.  Et les personnes qui travaillent à faire fonctionner le site, en réparant les objets, en créant les fiches-produits, gérant les commandes, en répondant au service client… sont des femmes et des hommes en précarité, qui se réinsèrent professionnellement ! Alors, toujours tout pareil ? Pour vos courses de Noel, c'est par là que ça se passe : Label Emmaüs Et pour le reste, courrez entendre Maud au micro de Demain N'attend Pas. Vous saurez tout : 

Join Dan as he discusses leadership, career opportunities, and how to make it in the world of IT with this week's guest Michelle Greene. Michelle is currently the Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Cardinal Health, multinational healthcare, and pharmaceutical company. After working in IT and business for over two decades, Michelle is an experienced leader who is known for her “Michelle-isms,” including “the land of comfort has no growth” and “everything happens for a reason.” Her word of the year is intention: living and working intentionally with focus and energy. Being a good leader is recognizing the importance of your people and energizing them. Especially now—job seekers have the power, and in Michelle's words “Do not let anyone take your power.” Be sure to listen to the full episode for even more Michelle-isms and advice from an IT insider.Stay till the end for the Thought Leadership Moment as David got to sit down with the amazing Carol Zierhoffer, she was the CIO for a variety of global corporations including Bechtel, and is now an Independent Director for many.Credits:Guest - Michelle GreeneHost - Dan RobertsCo-Host - David AlexanderProduced and distributed by - Social OriginJoin the Tech4Good Movement!

In this episode, Rebecca Masisak, CEO of TechSoup Global, walks us through some of the major shifts that her organization was able to make throughout its history. When TechSoup was founded under the name CompuMentor, its goal was to provide nonprofits with tech volunteer services. Eventually, the mission expanded to providing donated software and hardware at highly discounted prices for nonprofits. While this was a major driver for its success, TechSoup found itself having to incorporate a new business model once software started moving to the cloud, where donated software no longer meant shipping out CDs or DVDs. Finally, we covered TechSoup's expansion of its network from local to international, becoming TechSoup Global as it is known today. Key lessons: factors and motivations for shifts in strategy, funder and donor relations, fostering local networks globally.

This week, Dan Roberts sits down with Melanie Kalmar, Corporate Vice President, Chief Information Officer, and Chief Digital Officer at Dow, a Fortune 82 company with $39 billion in revenue. Melanie's vision for the future of IT at Dow is simple: changing the narrative and becoming a digital company in all aspects. When asked about her IT team, she says that all 36,000 employees are really her team, as IT and technology touches every single person. IT must be truly integrated into the business as a whole. Join Dan and Melanie as they discuss her role as CIO, using technologies to drive innovation, keys to overcoming imposter syndrome as a woman in IT, and inspiring the future workforce.Listen to the end as David Alexander captures the brilliance of CIO Whisperers Advisory Board member Julie Cullivan for the Thought Leadership Moment!Credits:Guest - Melanie KalmarHost - Dan RobertsCo-Host - David AlexanderProduced and distributed by - Social OriginJoin the Tech4Good Movement!

As Chief Curator of Societal Platform, Sanjay Purohit's role is to bring together, cross-fertilize, and guide an ecosystem of organizations, leaders, and initiatives all dedicated to addressing complex problems at, truly, massive scale. Key lessons: differences between designing for thousands vs. millions of users; focusing platform design on one "core" interaction; empowering networks and organizations that already exist, rather than reinventing the wheel and working in isolation.  

Deval Sanghavi speaks to Donald Lobo, one of India's most unassuming philanthropists.  Listen in as Lobo deftly steers the conversation away from the Rolling Stones article he was featured in, and as he talks about his giving philosophy and why he trusts organizations that are truly embedded in communities, what people think the terms impact and scale mean versus what they should mean, and why Lobo's hopeful about the Indian social sector.  (42:39) ” If you're doing something for the public good, why don't you give the public ownership of it? And I think this is where funders, foundations can play a big role in it. That's step one, right? But step one is really not going to get you anywhere. You can put your stuff out there, but if other people aren't willing to use it or willing to do research and figure out what's there, that's also a big part of the ecosystem and a big part of the problem." Donald Lobo moved to the US from Mumbai in the early 1990s to pursue computer science, and  found himself on Yahoo's founding team. He is also the co-founder and lead developer of CiviCRM, which was set up to give the social sector free and open software. Having always had a keen interest in civil society, Lobo always found time to volunteer alongside his work, and very early on he began thinking about investing more and more of his time and his resources in causes close to his heart. Lobo is the founder of the Chintu Gudiya Foundation that funds NGOs in India and runs Tech4Dev, that works with non-profits to build their tech capacities.  For more information on NCE go to dasra.org/nce and follow Deval on Twitter at @Deval_Sanghavi and @Dasra

In this episode, Jim shares his thoughts on what we heard from Mike, Ana, and Nithya, along with a personal note on his own experience: the importance of human-centered design, dealing with skepticism as a social entrepreneur, and what technology needs to bring to the table.
