Organisations often find themselves trapped in an infinite loop. Typically hailed as an "infinity loop" or "patching loop,” it's differentiated by a continuous cycle of fixing problems, patching, and redoing data pipelines just to maintain operations.“It's a trap that many financial institutions, banks, insurance companies, and more fall into. This loop or this cycle is a process of focusing on fixing problems, patching,” describes Errol Rodericks.In this episode of the Don't Panic It's Just Data podcast, Errol Rodericks, Product & Solutions Marketing and Sales Enablement Specialist at Denodo, discusses the challenges faced by financial services in steering the infinity loop of reactive data management. He emphasises the importance of breaking free from this cycle to achieve real innovation and success in AI-led initiatives. The conversation explores the significance of AI-ready data, the journey from bronze to gold data products, and how Denodo helps bridge the last-mile gap in data management. The Cost of Poor Data"The cost of poor data isn't just bad decisions. It's the decisions you never knew you could make. You never get around to that."This statement sets the stage for the podcast. It captures the profound effect of being stuck in a reactive data mode and how organisations can overcome it. Rodericks believes that financial services are entirely missing out on strategic opportunities that could redefine their market position.While many financial institutions have invested heavily in centralised lakehouse architectures like Snowflake or Databricks. These alone are not enough. They often struggle to deliver the trusted, real-time insights that Gen AI and business teams require. Missed Opportunities to Measurable OutcomesIt becomes more challenging for financial institutions to deliver adequate Gen AI real-time data insights when dealing with the "missing mile" of data. Approximately 30 per cent of crucial data is often overlooked or inaccessible. To overcome the Gen AI challenges, Denodo facilitates logical data management. The firm provides direct access to live, relevant, and governed data when it's needed. It becomes critical for achieving measurable outcomes with AI-led initiatives.For Chief Financial Officers (CFOs), Rodericks offered a succinct but powerful message – "Modern finance isn't about reports... It's about your ability to predict, to personalise, and to prevent – the three Ps."TakeawaysThe infinity loop is a trap for financial institutions.Reactive data handling leads to missed insights and customer churn.Breaking out of the infinity loop is essential for innovation.AI projects often fail due to unreliable data inputs.AI-ready data must be trusted, timely, contextual, and reusable.The journey from bronze to gold data products is strategic.Ownership of data products is crucial for success.Timeliness of data is critical in financial services.Denodo provides real-time access to data without copying it.Modern finance focuses on prediction, personalisation, and prevention.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Infinity Loop in Financial Services04:23 Breaking Free from the Infinity Loop06:03 The Cost of Firefighting Mode09:14 The Importance of AI-Ready Data19:42 The Journey from Bronze to Gold Data Products22:53 Bridging the Last Mile Gap27:06 Real-World Examples of

In this episode, Brett, Phil and Martin discuss a recent paper from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) that examined the timeliness of data points that could be used for a centrally implemented, automated HCAI surveillance system in England, as a potential alternative to the 24 current locally-implemented system. The aim was to examine the potential for a national, automated surveillance system that could reduce the burden of the existing labour-intensive process for mandatory surveillance in England although the results were felt to be generalisable.

FOREVER (Netflix) : 5 Black Empowerment LessonsSeko Varner, the publisher of the Hampton Roads Greenbook, discusses the Netflix series Forever, stating he loved every moment of it despite not typically enjoying love stories. He strongly recommends watching it. Seko highlights five key aspects of black empowerment that he found within the show:•Timeliness and Standards: Seko relates a saying heard at Hampton University, "early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable," which is used in the film. He connects this to the standard empowered people rise to, emphasizing punctuality is important, especially "on your way up."•Imagery: He was deeply impressed by the artwork and decor in the male character's home, seeing it as an example of black excellence and a message about surrounding oneself with images of high achievement and self-expression.•Intimacy: While personally disliking scenes with actors depicted as teenagers, Seko found it significant that a character began taking intimacy "a lot more seriously" after a negative experience. He stresses that intimacy should be taken seriously for black empowerment in various relationships.•Education: Seko notes that Forever values education, not just traditional schooling but also learning trades, skills, and knowledge like music or athletics. He argues that taking education and learning seriously leads to "stronger empowerment" and "more opportunities."•Honesty: He observes that the main characters struggled with sharing deep concerns but found "freedom that came from being truthful and honest." Seko emphasizes that honesty, though difficult, is crucial for empowerment, bringing "freedom and... power."Beyond the film, Seko Varner is the publisher of the Hampton Roads Greenbook. He describes it as an online directory, website, and app created to spotlight black-owned businesses, organizations, and professionals in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, including cities like Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton, and also Yorktown, Williamsburg, and Franklin. Seko encourages viewers to share other empowerment messages they found in Forever.Empower Consciousness: Note - The Get On Code: Our Black Empowerment channel hosts content that may not represent the views, opinions, and positions of the platform owners, participants, or partners.

In today's complex and rapidly changing organizational environments, continuous improvement isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. One invaluable tool for driving this improvement is the After Action Review (AAR). Originally developed and refined within military contexts, the AAR is a structured and straightforward method for reflecting on events, identifying successes and shortcomings, and pinpointing actionable steps for future enhancement. Through the lens of the AAR, leaders can foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous learning within their teams. By systematically addressing What happened?, What went right?, and What went wrong?, leaders derive insights that empower their teams to replicate successes and mitigate failures. Ultimately, effective use of AARs can transform isolated experiences into collective knowledge, driving sustained organizational growth and peak performance.

This atmosphere of praise sets the tone for a transformative experience, where declarations are made for forgiveness, strength, wisdom, and a spirit of engagement. The collective prayer emphasizes the importance of establishing a strong foundation for the house of God, reinforcing a commitment to spiritual growth and unity. Timeliness is crucial in this environment.

The history of the Northern Cod stock dates back over 500 years in Atlantic Canada, playing a crucial role in the region's coastal history. However, industrialization in the 50s and 60s led to overfishing by multiple countries, resulting in the collapse of the fish stocks in Atlantic Canada. Despite efforts to reassess fishing levels, the Canadian fisheries fleet ramped up domestic efforts, leading to further declines in Cod and other ground fish stocks. The Capelin stocks also faced overfishing in the 90s, with no moratorium in place, resulting in ongoing fishing efforts on the stock. Currently, Capelin is at only 9% of its pre-collapse levels, indicating a severe depletion in the stock. The interdependence between Northern Cod and Capelin is crucial, as Cod relies on Capelin as a key prey species. The lack of a comprehensive management plan for both stocks has contributed to their continued depletion and failure to recover to healthy levels. Recent assessments have shown that both Northern Cod and Capelin are hovering near the limit reference point, indicating a critical state for the stocks. Despite some positive signs between 2010 and 2016, growth has since flatlined, with projections indicating a potential decline back into the critical zone. The lack of a robust management plan and clear targets for recovery has hindered efforts to restore these fishery stocks to healthy levels. The recent meetings in Newfoundland, where Fisheries and Oceans Canada and scientific groups discussed the stock assessments, highlighted the urgency of implementing effective management measures. The need for ecosystem-based management decisions, timely implementation of rebuilding plans, and a focus on sustainable harvest levels are crucial to prevent further declines in the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. The lack of clear management measures and the absence of a long-term vision for rebuilding pose significant challenges to the recovery of these fishery stocks. As concerned citizens and advocates for ocean conservation, it is essential to raise awareness about the critical state of the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. Contacting government officials, supporting conservation organizations, and advocating for sustainable fisheries management practices can help drive positive change and ensure the long-term health of these important fishery stocks. By taking action and demanding responsible management practices, we can work towards safeguarding the future of Northern Cod and Capelin populations and promoting ecosystem health in the Atlantic region. Lack of Implementation of Management Measures for Fishery Stocks In the episode, Rebecca Skynes from Oceania Canada highlighted the concerning lack of implementation of management measures for fishery stocks, particularly the Northern Cod and Capelin stocks. Despite the availability of tools and resources to improve the situation, there has been a significant delay in implementing necessary measures to ensure the sustainability and recovery of these stocks. Rebecca mentioned that there have been tools and resources in place since 2019, such as a fisheries monitoring policy and a modernized Fisheries Act, which require rebuilding plans and sustainable management of fish stocks. However, there has been a notable gap in implementing these measures effectively. The lack of a comprehensive management plan for these stocks, with defined targets and harvest control rules, has hindered progress towards their recovery. Furthermore, the delay in implementing these management measures has led to uncertainty and varying perspectives among stakeholders, including the fishing industry representatives. The Fisheries Union has expressed a desire to increase harvests, even though the stocks are not at healthy levels. This highlights the urgency of implementing ecosystem-based management plans to prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term health of the fishery stocks. The failure to implement these management measures in a timely manner not only jeopardizes the recovery of fishery stocks but also impacts the fishing community and the ecosystem as a whole. Without clear direction and effective management plans grounded in science, the risk of further decline in fish stocks remains high. Overall, the episode underscores the critical need for prompt and effective implementation of management measures for fishery stocks to ensure their sustainability and prevent long-lasting impacts on the fishing industry and the marine ecosystem. Importance of Comprehensive Management Plans for Fishery Stocks In the episode, Rebecca Skynes from Oceania Canada emphasized the critical importance of having a comprehensive management plan in place for fishery stocks. The management plan should include defined targets and harvest control rules to ensure sustainable and healthy levels for the stocks. Here are some key points highlighting the significance of such plans: Rebuilding Plans: Rebecca mentioned that there is a lack of a comprehensive management plan for fishery stocks like Northern Cod and Capelin. Without a clear plan in place, it becomes challenging to monitor and manage the stocks effectively. Rebuilding plans are essential for stocks that fall within the critical zone, as they provide a roadmap for recovery and sustainable management. Predictable Framework: A well-defined management plan provides a predictable framework for the fishing season. It helps avoid crisis management situations where decisions are made reactively. By establishing clear targets and rules, stakeholders can better prepare for the fishing season and ensure that harvest levels are sustainable. Ecosystem-Based Approaches: The implementation of ecosystem-based management plans is crucial for considering the broader ecological context in which fishery stocks exist. By incorporating ecosystem considerations into management decisions, it becomes possible to address the interconnectedness of species and habitats, leading to more holistic and sustainable management practices. Timeliness and Adaptability: Management plans need to be timely and adaptable to changing conditions. With climate change introducing additional uncertainties, having flexible and responsive management plans is essential. Timely decisions based on the latest scientific information can help prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term health of fishery stocks. Long-Term Vision: A comprehensive management plan should have a long-term vision for the recovery and sustainability of fishery stocks. By setting clear targets for what constitutes a healthy stock and defining harvest control rules to achieve those targets, managers can work towards ensuring the long-term viability of the fisheries. In conclusion, the implementation of comprehensive management plans with defined targets and harvest control rules is crucial for the sustainable management of fishery stocks. These plans provide a structured framework for decision-making, promote ecosystem-based approaches, and aim to achieve healthy and resilient fishery stocks for the future. It is essential for stakeholders, policymakers, and the public to advocate for the development and implementation of robust management plans to protect and conserve our ocean resources.
