Perform 2026 felt like a turning point for Dynatrace, and when Steve Tack joined me for his fourth appearance on the show, it was clear this was not business as usual. We began with a little Perform nostalgia, from Dave Anderson's unforgettable "Full Stack Baby" moment to the debut of AI Rick on the keynote stage. But the humor quickly gave way to substance. Because beneath the spectacle, Dynatrace introduced something that signals a broader shift in observability: Dynatrace Intelligence. Steve was candid about the problem they set out to solve. Too much focus on ingesting data. Too much time spent stitching tools together. Too many dashboards. Too many alerts. The real opportunity, he argued, is turning telemetry into trusted, automated action. And that means blending deterministic AI with agentic systems in a way enterprises can actually trust. We unpacked what that looks like in practice. From United Airlines using a digital cockpit to improve operational performance, to TELUS and Vodafone demonstrating measurable ROI on stage, the emphasis at Perform was firmly on production outcomes rather than pilot projects. As Steve put it, the industry has spent long enough in "pilot purgatory." The next phase demands real-world deployment and real return. A big part of that confidence comes from the foundations Dynatrace has laid with Grail and Smartscape. By combining unified telemetry in its data lakehouse with real-time topology mapping and causal AI, Dynatrace is positioning itself as the engine behind explainable, trustworthy automation. When hyperscaler agents from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud call Dynatrace Intelligence, they are expected to receive answers grounded in causal context rather than probabilistic guesswork. We also explored what this means for developers, who often carry the burden of alert fatigue and fragmented tooling. New integrations into VS Code, Slack, Atlassian, and ServiceNow aim to bring observability directly into the developer workflow. The goal is simple in theory and complex in execution: keep engineers in their flow, reduce toil, and amplify human decision-making rather than replace it. Of course, autonomy raises questions about risk. Steve acknowledged that for now, humans remain firmly in the loop, with most agentic interactions still requiring checkpoints. But as trust grows, so will the willingness to let systems self-optimize, self-heal, and remediate issues automatically. We closed by zooming out. In a market saturated with AI claims, Steve encouraged listeners to bet on change rather than cling to the status quo. There will be hype. There will be agent washing. But there is also real value emerging for those prepared to experiment, learn, and scale responsibly. If you want to understand where AI observability is heading, and how deterministic and agentic intelligence can coexist inside enterprise operations, this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective straight from the Perform show floor.

Vodafone Ireland has once again been recognised as Ireland's leading mobile network, winning Best Mobile Internet Performance 2025 and Best 5G Network 2025 at this year's nPerf Awards, marking an exceptional fourth consecutive year in the top position. These latest wins follow years of continuous network improvement, with enhanced customer experience seen throughout the country. This result builds on last year's achievement, where Vodafone was awarded Best Mobile Internet Performance and Best 5G Provider for 2024. The 2025 results reinforce Vodafone's continued leadership in reliability, speed, and customer experience. This accolade further strengthens Vodafone Ireland's position as the country's most trusted mobile network, having also been independently recognised by umlaut as Ireland's Best Mobile Network for an unparalleled ten consecutive years. According to nPerf's independent analysis, based on thousands of real-world tests carried out by mobile users across Ireland, Vodafone achieved a total score of 98 361nPoints, outperforming all competitors across critical measures of network quality. The company excelled in multiple categories and was the best-performing provider across four – Upload Speed, Latency, Web Browsing, and YouTube Streaming – showcasing reliable performance in the 5G sector. Vodafone continues to advance its nationwide mobile network with €100 million invested annually to expand coverage, boost capacity, and deliver best-in-class mobile experiences. This sustained investment is driving significant modernisation across the network, including accelerated 4G and 5G rollout, enhanced resilience, and technology upgrades designed to meet Ireland's growing demand for fast, reliable connectivity. This investment forms part of Vodafone Ireland's wider €500 million five?year network investment cycle, which is delivering extensive upgrades and new site developments nationwide. As part of this long-term programme, Vodafone is delivering network enhancements across the country — recent examples in the last number of weeks include Carlow Town, Clane, Greystones, Mountcollins in Co. Limerick and the Mount Falcon region in Co. Mayo. These reflect just a snapshot of the wider, ongoing investment aimed at boosting coverage, increasing capacity and strengthening reliability for customers wherever they live, work and travel. In parallel, Vodafone continues to support Ireland's growing data demand, with annual mobile data traffic rising sharply at 20% year-on-year, ensuring customers can rely on a resilient, future proof network wherever they live, work, and travel. Sheila Kavanagh, Director of Networks, Vodafone Ireland, said: "We are incredibly proud to secure the nPerf award for the fourth year in a row. This result reflects the dedication of our teams and the impact of our continued investment, including €100 million each year — to deliver a fast, reliable and resilient network for customers across Ireland. As data usage grows and customer expectations evolve, we remain focused on building a future proof network that supports homes, businesses and communities, from major cities to remote rural areas. Our ambition is simple: to provide an outstanding, high quality experience every single day." Recognising Vodafone's continued success in 2025 Sébastien de Rosbo, Managing Director nPerf, stated: "Vodafone Ireland once again achieved the highest overall performance across our 2025 benchmarks. Based on large-scale, real-world testing carried out by users nationwide, Vodafone delivered consistently strong results across key indicators including mobile internet performance and 5G experience. This fourth consecutive win reflects the strength and consistency of Vodafone's network for customers across Ireland." See more stories here.

S6E4 - Eindelijk weer samen in de studio en wat hébben ze veel bij te praten! Mo is met Lizzy naar het concert van de Bankzitters geweest, en daar doe je haar absoluut een groter plezier mee dan met een babyshower.

Irish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly aware of the growing risk posed by AI-driven cyberattacks, though most are not using available and affordable defences, and many are now looking for practical, affordable ways to strengthen their digital defences, Vodafone Ireland said at the Small Firms Association's SFA Connect event in Naas, Co. Kildare. Addressing over 450 business leaders at the event, Lynsey Sweeney, Head of SME Sales Strategy at Vodafone Business, shared research showing that 94% of SMEs feel unprepared for AI-powered cyber threats, while 28% believe a single ransomware attack could seriously threaten their business. "SMEs understand the risks; what they need are solutions that are simple, effective and fit their reality," said Sweeney. "Cybersecurity doesn't have to be complex or costly. With the right support, small steps can make a big difference in protecting a business." Despite strong awareness of cyber risks, adoption of basic protections remains low. Only 21% of SMEs currently use multifactor authentication, while more than half store sensitive data without encryption, leaving many exposed to issues that can be addressed quickly and affordably. Sweeney said that while digital transformation can feel daunting for smaller organisations, progress is often achieved through practical improvements rather than large-scale change. "For SMEs, we fully understand that time and certainty matter," she said. "Technology should remove pressure, not add to it. Choosing the right tools, whether that's strengthening security or automating routine tasks, can free up time and help businesses focus on growth." "Digital transformation isn't about doing everything at once. The most successful SMEs focus on the right next step. Start small, build confidence and scale over time. Vodafone Business reports that Businesses that embrace digital tools can achieve up to 26% higher revenue growth – and that's a real competitive advantage." "This is where the right partner makes a difference," Sweeney added. "Measures like multifactor authentication, encrypted backups, regular updates and staff training are proven, accessible ways to reduce risk, and they don't require in-house IT teams." With over six in ten Irish businesses as customers, Vodafone Ireland is investing €100 million per year in its network to expand and enhance services nationwide, ensuring businesses have secure, resilient connectivity they can rely on. The company, which serves over 2.4 million customers and holds the largest share of Ireland's mobile market, continues to see solid growth across its small business mobile and business broadband customer bases. During her address, Sweeney outlined four foundations for digital efficiency for SMEs: automating everyday processes, building a secure digital foundation, using technology to deliver more personalised customer experiences, and empowering teams through upskilling. Vodafone Business continues to support Irish SMEs with practical connectivity and digital solutions designed to improve efficiency, strengthen security and support long-term growth. Over 2,000 people work with Vodafone Ireland across its Dublin headquarters and 80 retail stores nationwide. This year, Vodafone will move to its new headquarters on St Stephen's Green as the company marks 25 years in Ireland. The company has recently made significant investments in innovation as the first telco to launch Real Time Text, and through the recent trial of a new mission-critical communications service with Government.

Good Morning, I'm Nelson John. In today's episode, we unpack five stories that reveal what happens when business as usual stops working. IndiGo's December meltdown 4,500 cancelled flights just triggered a Competition Commission investigation. When you control 60% of the market and create artificial scarcity during peak demand, regulators take notice. Vodafone Idea is back seeking ₹35,000 crore from banks. Supreme Court relief on AGR dues helps, but ₹1.25 trillion in spectrum payments and 7 million lost subscribers tell a different story. Gold and silver just corrected sharply down 12% and 24% after historic rallies. Multi-asset fund managers are rebalancing, moving capital back to unloved equities. India halved EV charger benchmark prices. A 60kW charger drops from ₹7.28 lakh to ₹3.4 lakh, easing fiscal burden while accelerating deployment. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on The Audit Podcast, our guest is Roberto Zambelli, Head of Audit at Vodafone Three. Roberto breaks down the IIA's new topical requirements, with a particular focus on organizational behavior. He explains how these requirements are part of the IIA's Vision 2035 to modernize internal audit and provide clearer, more practical guidance for auditing complex and traditionally "soft" areas like culture and behavior. We also discuss how topical requirements move audit from broad principles to more structured, consistent approaches—helping auditors better design reviews around specific topics such as data privacy, regulatory expectations, and organizational culture. Drawing on his background in behavioral science, Roberto shares his perspective on how auditors can assess culture in a more disciplined and meaningful way.

Welcome to Without Borders, the podcast from Tyto. As the only PR and communications agency built to scale high-growth technology companies faster across Europe, we know that communicating effectively in this region is rarely as simple as it seems. Every market has its own dynamics, expectations and cultural nuances, and even the biggest, most established global brands can find Europe a challenging place to build visibility and sustain momentum at scale. This podcast explores those challenges and offers practical insight for ambitious PR and comms teams. Across our different series, we look at what it really takes to drive an effective PR programme across Europe - from the lessons founders learn as they enter markets, to the way journalists and influencers shape the narrative, to the policy shifts that influence how technology is understood and regulated. Our latest series, Policy Matters, examines the evolving relationship between policy, media and communications. It's designed to give PR leaders a clearer view of how these forces interact, how political conversations take shape, and how organisations can engage thoughtfully and credibly in a landscape where the pace is accelerating and the stakes are rising. In this episode, we're joined by Eve Novakovic, Executive and Policy Communications, Senior Manager at the AI research lab, Google DeepMind. Prior to her current role, Eve led corporate and policy communications at Vodafone, with a particular focus on building relationships with journalists in Brussels and across the European Union. Eve discusses how technology firms can use communications to build trust and engage effectively in policy debates across rapidly evolving regulatory environments. She emphasises the growing importance of transparency, authenticity, and clear storytelling in shaping how innovation is understood by policymakers and the public. She also reflects on the value of close alignment between comms and policy teams, the need to deploy the right spokespeople at key moments, and how digital channels and influencers are increasingly central to earning credibility and gaining influence.

Topchefen i det danske børsselskab Shape Robotics, Mark Abraham, har i detaljer forklaret myndighederne i Rumænien, at han igennem flere år betalte en fremtrædende chef i Vodafone både luksusbiler, kontanter og dyre gaver som Rolex-ure, mens han var direktør i det rumænske firma Sav Integrated Systems. Ifølge Mark Abraham skulle gaverne og pengene sikre Sav ordre fra Vodafone. Det kan Finans afsløre efter aktindsigter i rumænske retsdokumenter.

#138 - 2026 is het nieuwe 2016. Tijd om dus te grasduinen in het fenomeen dat nostalgie heet. Isa kan zelfs wegdromen naar de tijd van ingesnoerde jurken (die ze niet eens heeft meegemaakt). Marc-Marie verlangt vooral naar de tijden dat Thuisbezorgd de recensies nog openbaar maakte. Hoe moet hij nu toch geïnformeerd z’n eten bestellen?

The UK Investor Magazine was delighted to welcome Ed Croft, CEO of Stockopedia, back to the podcast to explore the key drivers of returns in 2025 and look forward to 2026.Register here to learn how to identify stocks with a higher probability of market outperformanceThe podcast explores Stockopedia's NAPS (No-Admin Portfolio System) portfolio, which has achieved remarkable returns of 345% since inception, approximately 15% annualised, over 11 years.The 2025 portfolio generated a 32% return with a 75% hit rate (15 winners out of 20 positions), outperforming 208 out of 209 fund managers in the IA UK All Companies sector, according to Stockopedia data.This success was achieved with just one hour of work per year, focusing on unloved UK value stocks rather than chasing popular US tech stocks.The discussion centred on moving investors from being “gamblers” chasing story stocks to becoming “craftsmen” following systematic, rules-based approaches. The NAPS strategy uses Stockopedia's StockRanks system, which evaluates stocks from 0-100 based on three factors: Quality (profitability), Value (cheapness), and Momentum (price strength).The portfolio employs a “3D Process” – Drivers (high-ranking stocks), Diversity (20 stocks across 10 sectors using a “Noah's Ark” approach), and Discipline (annual rebalancing).The 2025 portfolio's success stories included gold stocks Serabi Gold and Metals Exploration (both up over 160%), and several takeover targets like Alliance Pharma (+41%). The podcast emphasised that good, cheap stocks attract buyers, particularly in the unloved UK market where low valuations create abundant takeover activity. Even the portfolio's worst performer, Hikma Pharmaceuticals (-25%), didn't sink overall returns due to proper diversification.Register here to learn how to identify stocks with a higher probability of market outperformanceThe podcast concluded by teasing the 2026 NAPS portfolio, due for publication on January 1st, which features takeover-candidate recovery stocks with an average 3.7% yield, including household names like Vodafone and GSK alongside small-cap turnarounds. A webinar was announced for January to teach the 3D process in detail, reinforcing the message that systematic, evidence-based investing should be “fun, profitable, and less emotional.” Hosted on Acast.

Unser heutiger Gast startete nach dem Studium der Oecotrophologie zunächst als Produktmanagerin in der Süßwarenindustrie. Später baute sie digitale Marketingstrategien bei OTTO, bonprix und Achtung! auf und entwickelte schließlich bei Google datengetriebene YouTube-Kampagnen für Marken wie Mercedes, Vodafone oder L'Oréal. Doch dann kam der Moment, an dem sie sich eine andere Frage stellte: Was ist eigentlich mit den Themen, über die niemand spricht, obwohl sie jede zweite Person betreffen? Mit Anfang 40 bemerkte sie erste körperliche Veränderungen. Jahre später, inzwischen mit einer beeindruckenden Karriere im Rücken, stellte sie fest: Niemand hatte sie auf die Wechseljahre vorbereitet. Nicht in der Schule, nicht im Studium, nicht im Job. Und so gründete sie NOBODYTOLDME, eine Plattform, die das Tabu rund um die Menopause bricht und Frauen mit fundiertem Wissen, Produkten und Tools durch diese wichtige Lebensphase begleitet. Heute bezeichnet sie sich selbst augenzwinkernd als Chief Menopause Officer und bringt ein Thema in die Arbeitswelt, das bislang viel zu oft ignoriert wird. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich verändert hat und was sich weiter verändern muss. Wie findet man den Mut,, mit über 40 noch einmal ganz neu anzufangen, für ein Thema, das man vorher kaum kannte? Warum ist die Menopause nicht längst auch ein Leadership- und Transformationsthema und nicht nur ein medizinisches? Was muss sich ändern, damit Frauen in der Mitte ihres Lebens nicht zwischen Hot Flashes und Karriere ausbrennen, sondern aufblühen können? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

‘Adem in door je neus, adem uit door je vagina.’ Dat is het motto van Roos Moggré. Sander en Jaap zijn er nog niet helemaal over uit of dit voor hen een ademhalingstechniek is of een spirituele burn-out in wording. Roos bundelde haar columns, een collectie die ongeveer zo consistent is als het leven en deze aflevering: van kraamzorg tot oppassers en dingen waar je überhaupt geen mening over zou moeten hebben, maar toch krijgt. Met Baarzilla wist ze de kraamzorg in ziekenhuizen in beweging te krijgen, een zeldzaamheid in beleidsland. Binnenkort is ze het nieuwe gezicht van ‘Pauw en de Wit’; het zal haar ongetwijfeld beter afgaan dan Sander. Maar vandaag zit ze bij tante Sander en Ome Jaap.

Jakob Oftebro (Black Crab, Lillyhammer) joins Son of a Binge host Reshma Gopaldas to talk all about his role as media mogul, Jan Stenbeck in Vanguard, which is being hailed as the Swedish Succession. Imagine if Kendall Roy, Shiv Roy, Roman Roy, and Connor Roy were actually competent. What'd you get is Jan Stenbeck. Based on the true story of the Stenbeck family empire, Oftebro leads the cast.Vanguard is streaming now on Viaplay.Also starring: Zoe Boyle (Merrill McCloud), Irene Lindh (Märtha Stenbeck), Malin Crépin (Margaretha af Ugglas), Julia Marko Nord (Elisabeth Silfverstolpe), Iggy Malmborg (Oskar), Nils Wetterholm (Marcus).Son of a Binge production credits:Hosted by: Reshma Gopaldas (TW: @reshingbull, IG @reshmago)Artwork by: Laura Valencia (IG @iamlauravalencia)Music by: Kevin Calaba (IG @airlandsmusic)Show Description (from Viaplay):Vanguard tells the story of an unlikely media mogul and trailblazer of technological reform, torn between passion and duty. It's a tale of fearless entrepreneurship, a desire to change the world — and a sibling rivalry in a powerful family fractured by old wounds. At 35, Jan Stenbeck appears to have it all: a prestigious career at Morgan Stanley, a glamorous life in New York, and a budding romance with American socialite Merrill McCloud. But when tragedy strikes his family in Sweden, he's suddenly thrust into a leadership role at Kinnevik, the family's industrial empire. Armed with bold ideas from the U.S., Jan has no interest in continuing the legacy of steel and forestry. Instead, he launches a radical transformation, turning the conservative conglomerate into a telecom and media powerhouse. What follows is a high stakes battle between tradition and innovation, as Jan's vision clashes with his siblings' resistance to change. His relentless drive reshapes the Nordic media and telecom landscape: he breaks Sweden's telephone monopoly, launches TV3 - Scandinavia's first commercial channel - and pioneers' strategies that inspire Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV model and lay the groundwork for Vodafone's rise. At his peak, Jan is worth 800 million dollars, founds 20–30 companies annually, and helps shift Sweden from a traditional industrial society into a leader in global communications. But his meteoric rise comes at a cost. Haunted by loneliness and broken family ties, Jan's life proves as turbulent as it is transformative.
