The future of the cash Isa has been in the spotlight of late, with rumours the Chancellor could tinker with one of Britain's best loved tax breaks. It's believed some city bosses are lobbying her to make the limit less generous, and push more people into investing their money instead. While just speculation, it's a move that would certainly ruffle a few feathers. This week, Lee Boyce, Georgie Frost and Angharad Carrick discuss the future of Isas and ask: Should people with cash parked in savings accounts be strong-armed into investing instead? Elsewhere, Octopus has launched an investment platform where you can buy into a wind turbine - is it a good home for your cash? Council tax has been in the spotlight, with some areas seeing increases in annual bills of up to 9.9% - and with it a social movement to cancel direct debits. Here's why that's not a wise move. Ang spoke to Virgin Media O2's customer service boss about their pledge to turn around their poor performance over the years. Will we just be shoved to chatbots? And does living in a hard water area make energy bills more expensive?

Virgin Media O2's marketing director Simon Valcarcel and founder of VCCP, Marketing Week's Agency of the Year, Charles Vallance discuss the importance of honesty, consistency and how they've kept things "fresh" during a 23-year client/agency relationship.

The secret to success in data driven marketing is relationships - according to Chris Love, Head of Marketing Performance & Econometrics at Virgin Media O2. On the latest podcast episode, Chris explains why getting the marketing team out of its silo and knowing how to contribute to other teams' success, while letting them help yours with their insights, has stood him in good stead throughout his marketing career. He also shares his views on the importance of "sweating the small stuff" and why, ultimately, all we do is sales.

‘AI granny' Daisy is the latest weapon in the fight against phone scammers. This AI-powered bot, developed by UK telecom company Virgin Media O2, is designed to outsmart fraudsters by keeping them tied up in conversation for hours. Daisy is the latest tool in the world of scam-baiting, a strategy where scammers are kept on the line to waste their time. Charity Age UK estimates a fifth of all over 50s in the UK fear answering their phones because of scams. Simon Valcarcel, Marketing Director at Virgin Media O2, says, “The reason we used AI is because it doesn't sleep, it doesn't eat, you can use it 24 hours a day. It's a great way to demonstrate the tactics scammers use to keep people on the line. And the best part? When it's talking to AI, it's not talking to real people and scamming them out of their hard-earned money.” Behind ‘Daisy' is a team of developers and creatives who built the AI coding and various models it uses to respond to scammers in real time. As her creators continue to refine Daisy's capabilities, there are plans for future scenarios, including new personalities and responses to different types of scams. Colin Rigby, a researcher from Keele University says, despite it being unlikely, there is a possibility that sophisticated criminals could fight back against ‘Daisy,' using just as complex AI technology. Rigby says, “We need to consider the potential for an AI arms race where the people who are scamming and being baited, using AI to scam, and you end up with two AIs essentially learning about each other and at war with one another.” Virgin Media O2 is optimistic that their strategy of using AI in this way is working. The telecoms company has posted Daisy's phone number on online forums known to be used by scammers. Since then, they say it's taken over 1,000 calls and kept some people on the phone for over 40 minutes—with no intentions of backing down. This article was provided by The Associated Press. 

We live and work in a busy world in which there is little time to read, watch or listen beyond the headlines.Hello, my name is Iain Campbell-McKenna, and this is “Procurement in 5-minutes.” That's right, in 5-minutes I promise to tackle some of the biggest challenges and deepest questions our profession and industry face on a day-to-day basis.In today's procurement in 5 minutes, I am thrilled to be joined by Dave Jones, the Head of Procurement for IT and digital at Virgin Media O2. Dave has been working in procurement for over a decade and has firsthand experience with the common issues that many job candidates face today, AI Bias. While AI is certainly a game-changer in many industries, it's not helping candidates find new roles. Almost 90% of employers use filters or ranking systems in their recruitment systems to select potential candidates, and these systems are hindering our recruitment efforts. Even when a candidate meets all the requirements, they are overlooked due to keyword mismatches. Dave highlights this ongoing problem and is the perfect person to answer the question.There is No Talent Shortage in Procurement—Our Recruitment AI Systems SuckVisit Dave's LinkedIn profile @: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dohjones/

Industry experts Marco Ciappelli, Sean Martin, and Ian Hill explored these pivotal changes, offering sharp insights into the digital revolution.A Casual StartThe event kicked off light-heartedly with Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, setting a relaxed, talk-show-like atmosphere. Despite minor technical hiccups, this informal start paved the way for an engaging discussion.“We're messing with physical technology and digital technology,” remarked Sean Martin, perfectly capturing the complex interplay between human users and their increasingly advanced tools.From Keynotes to Key ConcernsIan Hill shared his journey from Director of Information and Cybersecurity at UP Corporation, now part of Virgin Media O2, to his current advisory role. He emphasized the freedom and reduced stress of stepping back from frontline cybersecurity.Hill's keynote at the event centered on AI's implications for the future of work and society, countering the exaggerated narratives often associated with AI.The Mislabeling Issue: AI vs. AutomationMarco Ciappelli voiced a common frustration: the overuse of “AI” to describe mere automation. Hill stressed the need to differentiate true AI from sophisticated automation systems that lack adaptive learning capabilities.“We need to distinguish between what is automation and what is AI. There's a lot of automation going on at the moment,” Hill noted.Western Society's DependencyHill warned of AI's subtle yet significant impact on Western societies, likening it to the industrial and agricultural revolutions but with a more profound effect due to AI's ability to replace cognitive tasks.“AI is different because AI is actually replacing our thinking, our creativity,” Hill cautioned, highlighting the potential for job displacement and challenges to human creativity and learning.The Drive for ProfitA recurring theme was the economic drivers behind AI advancements. Hill critiqued the relentless pursuit of profit and efficiency, which risks lowering the quality of services and products in favor of mass production.“The nature with all these technological developments, the primary driver is profit and money,” Hill asserted, reflecting on the commercialization of AI.The AI Arms Race in CybersecurityHill and Martin discussed the escalating AI-driven war between cybersecurity defenses and attacks. They emphasized the need for rapid, machine-learning-based responses to evolving cyber threats, as traditional human-led security operations struggle to keep up.“You need machine learning, lightning-fast machine learning, to predict and react to events before the human even knows about it,” Hill stated, hinting at a future where automated systems dominate the cyber battlefield.The Trust DilemmaThe conversation turned philosophical as the speakers pondered the reliability of AI-generated content and the impact of deep fakes and misinformation. Hill addressed the issue of AI “hallucinations”—erroneous outputs—and the dangers of blindly trusting AI.“We're losing a sort of grip on reality… because it's becoming harder to distinguish between what's real and what isn't real,” Hill commented, expressing concerns about a future rife with misinformation.Concluding ThoughtsInfosecurity Europe 2024 highlighted AI's dual nature: its potential to revolutionize industries like healthcare and cybersecurity contrasted with its capacity to disrupt societal norms and personal authenticity.As Hill succinctly put it, “Those that own the AI, you know, OpenAI and all their sponsors, and what influence could be exerted on AI, political or otherwise, to bias… dangerous.”The dialogue underscored the need for evolving our understanding and ethical governance of AI to ensure these powerful tools enhance rather than undermine our societal fabric.Be sure to follow our Coverage Journey and subscribe to our podcasts!____________________________Follow our InfoSecurity Europe 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosecurity-europe-2024-infosec-london-cybersecurity-event-coverageOn YouTube:

The FTSE 100 opened slightly higher ahead of a week dominated by UK inflation figures on Wednesday and GDP on Thursday. Among companies, it was Body Shop in the headlines on weekend rumours the cosmetics retailer was getting ready to call in the administrators following tough Christmas trading. Cash struggles elsewhere have reportedly seen Virgin Media O2 reignite discussions with TalkTalk meanwhile, over a deal which could see it buy the latter's consumer division. Among listed companies, GSK shares slipped despite news the pharma firm had been granted US fast-track status for its chronic hepatitis B treatment. And finally, shares in Frasers climbed early on after the Sports Direct owner signalled a new £80 million buyback would kick off on Monday and that it had upped its stake in online retailer N Brown. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #bodyshop #virginmediaO2 #talktalk #gsk #frasers #sportsdirect #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Gast: Axel Wehrle, Director Customer Service, Virgin Media O2 "Von Kunden begeistert: Wie Customer Obsession den Erfolg antreibt" Customer Obsession geht weit über die einfache Kundenzufriedenheit hinaus und ist für Unternehmen heutzutage unverzichtbar, um im Wettbewerb bestehen zu können. Speziell im Rahmen der Digitalisierung ist es zentral die technischen Lösungen mit einem klaren Fokus auf Customer Obsession zu designen und zu nutzen. Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Kundenerfahrungen. Hier werden wir konkrete Beispiele für proaktive Maßnahmen und maßgeschneiderte Lösungen betrachten. Unternehmen, die eine Customer-Obsession-Strategie verfolgen, zeichnen sich durch ihr Bestreben aus, ihre Kunden zu verstehen, ihre Bedürfnisse vorherzusehen und außergewöhnliche Kundenerlebnisse zu bieten.

Catherine Marks, Is a finance professional with 20 years of experience. Most recently she was VP of Finance at Depop and Head of Group FP&A with Virgin Media O2. Catherine has joined GrowCFO as Finance Team Training Lead and is about to launch the inaugural GrowCFO FP&A boot camp. The FP&A boot camp provides practical training that enables finance teams to take immediate action and immediately make a difference in their work. The boot camp isn't about teaching theory. Instead, the training is designed to empower participants to apply what they learn and make an impact in their roles. What is FP&A? FP&A stands for Financial Planning and Analysis. It is a critical function within an organization's finance department that focuses on budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis. The primary goal of FP&A is to provide insights and support to help organizations make informed financial decisions and achieve their strategic objectives. Here are some critical aspects of FP&A: Budgeting: FP&A professionals create and manage the company's budget. This involves setting financial targets, allocating resources, and monitoring actual performance against the budget. Budgets are essential for planning and controlling expenses and revenue. Financial Forecasting: FP&A teams use historical financial data and current market trends to develop forecasts of future financial performance. These forecasts help organizations anticipate potential challenges and opportunities, allowing for proactive decision-making. Financial Analysis: FP&A professionals conduct in-depth financial analysis to assess the company's financial health and performance. This may include analyzing key financial metrics, conducting variance analysis (comparing actual results to budgets or forecasts), and identifying trends or areas requiring improvement. Strategic Planning: FP&A plays a crucial role in the strategic planning process by providing financial insights to support the development of long-term business strategies. This includes evaluating the financial feasibility of strategic initiatives, assessing risk, and estimating the financial impact of different scenarios. Reporting: FP&A produces financial reports and presentations for senior management, board members, and other stakeholders. These reports often include financial statements, budget vs. actual performance reports, and financial dashboards that comprehensively view the company's financial position. Decision Support: FP&A professionals collaborate with other departments to provide financial guidance and support for decision-making. This can involve analyzing the financial implications of proposed projects, investments, or cost-saving initiatives. Resource Allocation: FP&A helps allocate resources effectively by evaluating investment opportunities, cost structures, and return on investment (ROI). This ensures that resources are allocated to projects and activities that align with the company's strategic goals. Risk Management: FP&A teams assess and mitigate financial risks by identifying potential threats to the organization's financial stability. They may develop strategies to hedge against currency fluctuations, interest rate changes, or other financial risks. Performance Metrics: FP&A establishes key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure the success of financial strategies and operational performance. These metrics help track progress toward financial goals. Technology and Tools: FP&A professionals rely on various financial modelling tools, software, and data analytics platforms to perform their duties efficiently. These tools facilitate data analysis, scenario planning, and financial modelling. FP&A is a multifaceted function within an organization that bridges the gap between finance and strategic decision-making. It plays a pivotal role in ensuring that an organization's financial resources are allocated wisely, financial goals are met,

5G continues to roll out across the UK at pace, delivering high-speed data access for businesses and consumers alike. But while 5G alone is a step forward for connectivity, and has helped to boost data availability for businesses across the country, firms can also deploy it in more tailored approaches to help meet specific business needs.Companies with large campuses, or those that are looking to supply the low-latency connections needed for edge computing, are increasingly investing in private 5G networks. In this episode, Jane and Rory are joined by Sandeep Raithatha, head of strategy, innovation, and 5G IoT at Virgin Media O2 to unpack the use cases and benefits of 5G private networks, as well as the effect they could have on the UK business landscape.

Systems of support aren't always automatically in place for disabled children and their families, and the world simply has not been designed for disabled people. As parents of disabled children, we have to champion, persuade and shout loudly on our kids behalf. Our interview with Caroline discusses the battles with getting a diagnosis for her daughter Dottie, the struggles she had to persuade the right people to listen and the impact this had on her mental health. We talk about the challenging process of getting an Educational Health Care Plan, which most families experience and how this inspired Caroline to use her professional experience to support other parents going through the process. We talk a lot about the journey of acceptance and how even though Dottie is largely nonverbal, she is able to advocate for herself and communicate her wants and needs extremely successfully, often getting exactly what she wants.

The social model of disability diverges from the dominant medical model of disability, which is a functional analysis of the body as a machine to be fixed in order to conform with normative values. While physical, sensory, intellectual, or psychological variations may cause individual functional limitation, these do not necessarily have to lead to disability unless society fails to take account of and include people intentionally with respect to their individual needs.
