Steven Forth is Ibbaka's Co-Founder, CEO, and Partner. Ibbaka is a strategic pricing advisory firm. He was CEO of LeveragePoint Innovations Inc., a SaaS business designed to help companies create and capture value. In this episode, Steven advocates for proactive scenario planning, encouraging businesses to identify critical uncertainties and fortify their pricing strategies for the uncertainties of the future.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand the significance of pricing as a strategic element often overlooked in planning, and recognize its pivotal role in post-COVID economic landscapes Acknowledge the shift to a sounder economic period, where capital has a tangible cost, emphasizing the importance of net present value as a cornerstone of planning assumptions Prioritize fixing issues strategically, considering both short-term and long-term plays, and embrace scenario planning for effective pricing strategies in a dynamic environment   "I think we are settling into a sounder economic period where capital has a cost, net present value matters, and we need to have that as a planning assumption." - Steven Forth   Topics Covered: 01:38 - An observation about pricing being overlooked in strategic planning for 2024 and pricing being just an afterthought 04:20 - The need to strategically approach pricing in the context of the next three years post-COVID and thoughts on the monetization of generative AI 07:24 - Important thoughts on what kind of impact will AI have in businesses in the years ahead in comparison to what blockchain years ago 09:32 - From low interest rates to normal range, the importance of capital costs and net present value as part of planning assumptions. 13:05 - The need to take realistic steps to investments in AI, impact of non-zero interest rates on capital costs, the stabilization of buying behaviors into 2024 and how all these are considered in pricing planning in 2024 18:47 - Prioritizing what needs to be fixed first rather than fixing all at once and risk messing up everything 19:52 - How often should one conduct a pricing strategy 22:25 -Two key things in mind when planning for 2024: first establish baselines and trends, then aligning pricing with the overall strategic goals of the company 27:13 - What it means to have a portfolio point of view when making pricing planning and how to implement a faster cadence to reach your pricing goals 30:09 - Attributing business results to pricing changes and introducing the concept of causal analysis   Key Takeaways: "I think we are settling into a sounder economic period where capital has a cost, net present value matters and we need to have that as a planning assumption." - Steven Forth "You can't really do strategic planning if you don't understand where you are and how you got there." - Steven Forth "I would encourage people to at least consider looking at scenario planning where you plan for more than one scenario. You identify critical uncertainties and you plan for each of the critical uncertainties. That approach would make a lot of sense for pricing." - Steven Forth   People / Resources Mentioned: Judea Pearl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judea_Pearl The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Why-Science-Cause-Effect/dp/046509760X   Connect with Steven Forth: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenforth/ Email: steven@ibbaka.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

With a background as a classroom teacher, a master's in educational neuroscience, and a doctorate in special education, Dr. Neena Saha has seen all facets of education. In her work, she noticed a gap in the research-to-practice workflow for early literacy and dedicated herself to streamlining the process of finding and disseminating the best educational research for educators. Together, Susan Lambert and Neena discuss the need for reading researchers to work together and collaborate in a more focused and concerted group effort, the challenges of implementation, and how educators can best keep up with research that often feels overwhelming.Show notes:Listen: Our recent episode with Claude GoldenbergRead: Neena's monthly reading research updateWatch: Neena's July video about a Bayesian network meta-analysisWatch: Celebrating the Legacy of Dr. Bud RoseWebsite: Center for Research Use in EducationRead: “Survey of Evidence in Education for Schools Descriptive Report”Read: “The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect” by Judea PearlRead: Reading Research Recap—If you want to start receiving monthly notifications for this series, please register or sign in to your Lexile & Quantile Hub account and join the Reading Research mailing list.Quotes:"What I did was focus really on dissemination, right?

Por que algo acontece? O que causou isso ou aquilo? Como entender a causa dos fenômenos que acontecem na natureza e na nossa sociedade? Para explorar o mundo complexo da causalidade trouxemos um especialista na área, o pesquisador Marcel Ribeiro-Dantas. Neste episódio, exploramos o que seria causalidade, se a inferência causal varia conforme a complexidade de cada área, se ela é sempre probabilística, se a plausibilidade é importante para entender a causalidade e os perigos de se politizar a ciência. Marcel é engenheiro de Computação e Automação, especialista em Big Data e mestre em Bioinformática pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Aluno de doutorado na Universidade Sorbonne, em Paris, onde estuda causalidade no contexto de pacientes com câncer. Atualmente é pesquisador no Instituto Curie, mas foi membro co-fundador do Laboratório de Inovação Tecnológica em Saúde (LAIS) do Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (HUOL-UFRN), onde participou de atividades de pesquisa por 9 anos nas áreas de informática em saúde, dispositivos médicos, telemonitoramento de pacientes, telerradiologia, sistemas de recursos humanos em saúde e inteligência artificial. Participou também de atividades de pesquisa em âmbito internacional frutos de cooperações, como com a Universidade de Harvard e o MIT. Atualmente, tem interesse nos seguintes temas: inferência causal, redes biológicas, bioinformática e inteligência artificial. -----------REFERÊNCIAS DO EPISÓDIO---------- Mais informações sobre Marcel RIbeiro-Dantas: http://mribeirodantas.me/ Artigos Publicados por Marcel RIbeiro-Dantas: Google Scholar Livro - The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect https://amzn.to/3snKnGM ------------Cursos com Desconto------------ http://www.universogeneralista.com.br/curadoria-de-cursos/ ------------------Apoie o Canal------------ https://apoia.se/universogeneralista ------------------Youtube------------------ https://www.youtube.com/c/UniversoGeneralista ------------------Redes Sociais------------ https://www.instagram.com/universogeneralista/ https://twitter.com/UGeneralista -------- Tratamento de áudio ----------- Allan Spirandelli - https://www.instagram.com/allanspirandelli/ Spotify - https://sptfy.se/7mFh --------ASSUNTOS DO EPISÓDIO------- (0:00) Introdução (1:37) Currículo do convidado (2:42) Histórico do convidado (9:15) De onde vem a “causalidade”?

To say that event A causes event B is to not only make a claim about our actual world, but about other possible worlds — in worlds where A didn't happen but everything else was the same, B would not have happened. This leads to an obvious difficulty if we want to infer causes from sets of data — we generally only have data about the actual world. Happily, there are ways around this difficulty, and the study of causal relations is of central importance in modern social science and artificial intelligence research. Judea Pearl has been the leader of the “causal revolution,” and we talk about what that means and what questions remain unanswered.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Judea Pearl received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.

Dr. Jerry Smith welcomes you to another episode of AI Live and Unbiased to explore the breadth and depth of Artificial Intelligence and to encourage you to change the world, not just observe it!   Dr. Jerry is talking today about questions and answers in the world of data science machinery and artificial intelligence.   Key Takeaways: What are Dr. Jerry's favorite AI design tools? Dr, Jerry shares his four primary tools: MATLAB. Is a commercial product. It has a home, academic, and enterprise version. MATLAB has toolkits and applications. The Predictive Maintenance Toolbox at MATLAB, especially the preventive failure model is of great value when we want to know why things fail, also by measuring systems performance and predicting the useful life of a product. Mathematical Modeling with Symbolic Math Toolbox is useful for algorithm-based environments. It is built on solid mathematics. R Programming is Dr. Jerry's favorite free tool for programming with statistical and math perspectives. R is an open and free source and comes with a lot of applications. Python is a great tool for programming and is as capable as R programming to assist us in problem-solving. Python is very useful when you know your work is directed to an enterprise level. Does Dr. Jerry have any recommended books for causality? The Book of Why is foundational for both the businessperson and the data scientist. It provides a historical review of what causality is and why it is important. For a deeper understanding of causality, Dr. Jerry recommends Causal Inference in Statistics: A Primer.   Counterfactuals and Causal Inferences: Methods and Principles it is a great tool to think through the counterfactual analysis.   Behavioral Data Analysis with R and Python is an awesome book for the practitioner who wants to know what behaviors are, how they show up in data, the causal characteristics, and how to abstract behavioral aspects from data. Dr. Jerry recommends Designing for Behavior Change, it talks about the three main strategies that we use to help people change their behaviors. The seven rules of human behavior can be found in Eddie Rafii's latest book: Behaviology, New Science of Human Behavior. Dr. Jerry shares his favorite tools for casual analysis: Compellon allows us to do performance analysis, showing the fundamental causal chains in your target of interest. It can be used by analysts. It allows users to do “what-if” analysis. Compellon is a commercial product.   Causal Nexus is an open-source package in Python that has a much deeper look at causal models than Compellon. BayesiaLab is a commercial tool that is one of the higher-end tools an organization can have. It allows you to work on casual networks and counterfactual events. It is used in AI research.   What skills are needed for data science machinery and AI developers? Capabilities can be segmented into Data-oriented, Information-oriented, Knowledge, and Intelligence. These different capabilities are used in many roles according to several levels of maturity.   Stay Connected with AI Live and Unbiased: Visit our website AgileThought.com Email your thoughts or suggestions to Podcast@AgileThought.com or Tweet @AgileThought using #AgileThoughtPodcast!   Learn more about Dr. Jerry Smith   Mentioned in this episode: MATLAB MATLAB Mathematical Modeling Python Artificial Intelligence with R Compellon Causal Nex BayesiaLab   Dr. Jerry's Book Recommendations: The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect, Judea Pearl, Dana Mackenzie   Causal Inference in Statistics: A Primer, Madelyn Glymour, Judea Pearl, and Nicholas P.

Tune in to learn the following: How confounding factors in a study can influence the findings of the study, and how/why the gold standard of randomized trials can address this What is meant by the “fundamental challenge of causal inference” and how this explains why assumptions are always necessary in order to claim that a statistical analysis is unbiased Why large subject numbers or data points can't overwhelm biases; why bias is a function of the thing being studied Dr. Young's job is two-fold: she works on both the applications of statistical methods for public health and clinical medicine, and also on the development of methods in these areas. She focuses on causal inference, which is the formal process of understanding how to estimate causal effect from data collected in real-world studies. Through examples including a longitudinal study on nurses starting in the 1970s to present day studies revolving around the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Young discusses confounding factors in studies and the effect they have on interpretations of findings, the importance of randomization, the presence of bias regardless of how statistically significant a finding is, meta-analyses, where she sees the field of biostatistics heading in the near future, and more.   To learn about the basics of causal inference, Dr. Young recommends reading The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect.

So, what’s the deal with chiropractors? Are they all just full of it? Ian Kaplan is the COO of Hybrid Performance Method (Stefi Cohen’s training company) and soon to be doctor of chiropractic, and he’s also one of the most thoughtful and skeptical people in the fitness space. In this conversation, Ian breaks down how he thinks about uncertainty and providing treatment options when a lot of the research shows that most things that we talk about in the fitness and rehab space - well - don’t actually work. He also lays into some of the most common issues he sees with other chiros. And, of course, we spend awhile getting into the weeds and discussing pain science, Bayesian reasoning, and the future of artificial intelligence in guiding treatment protocols. Check out the full conversation with Ian if you want to hear two dorks talk about things like "epistemic humility" - or if you want to hear one of the smartest fellas in fitness explain how he thinks about pain.

Show Notes: [01:04] Ian’s beefs with the field of chiropractic – and what it means to be “evidence-based” in a field with so much uncertainty. [11:50] How should someone actually think about treatment given the inherent uncertainty in dealing with complex systems? How does Ian weigh the costs and benefits of a potential treatment? [18:46] Why are clinicians so easy to fool: regression toward the mean and threshold effects. And, how to give patients hope without lying to them. [25:46] Is it better to try to treat pain with targeted tissue interventions or is it better to focus on the brain? [33:31] The role of artificial intelligence in developing precision medicine models for treating pain patients [39:51] What are the barriers to effectively analyzing treatment data from chiropractors and physical therapists? [44:50] A brief summary of Bayesian inference and its value for treatments, pain science and making business decisions [56:56] How does Ian think about Bayesian inference as a unifying principle for weird stuff we see in pain science like placebo effects and extreme pain sensitivity [01:07:54] How to check out more from Ian Links and Resources Mentioned Humorism What’s the Difference Between a “Straight” Chiropractor and a “Mixer”? from Gutierrez Chiropractic Sensitivity and specificity Threshold effect Opportunity cost Regression toward the mean Bean machine “Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy versus Sham Surgery for a Degenerative Meniscal Tear” from the New England Journal of Medicine “Null hypothesis significance testing: A short tutorial” from F1000 Research Confidence interval “Learn About Lookalike Audiences” from Facebook Tempus Externality Introduction to Bayesian networks Information theory “The Bayesian brain: the role of uncertainty in neural coding and computation” from CellPress Frequentist probability “Frequentist And Bayesian Approaches In Statistics” from Probabilistic World “How to take the ‘outside view’” from McKinsey “The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect” by Judea Pearl Neural network “To Make Sense of the Present, Brains May Predict the Future” from Quanta Magazine Greg Lehman

In this episode, I talk with Irineo Cabreros about causality. We discuss why causality matters, what does and does not imply causality, and two different mathematical formalizations of causality: potential outcomes and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Causal models are usually considered external to and separate from statistical models, whereas Irineo’s new paper shows how causality can be viewed as a relationship between particularly chosen random variables (potential outcomes).

Making Sense with Sam Harris - Subscriber Content

Sam Harris speaks with Judea Pearl about his work on the mathematics of causality and artificial intelligence. They discuss how science has generally failed to understand causation, different levels of causal inference, counterfactuals, the foundations of knowledge, the nature of possibility, the illusion of free will, artificial intelligence, the nature of consciousness, and other topics. Judea Pearl is a computer scientist and philosopher, known for his work in AI and the development of Bayesian networks, as well as his theory of causal and counterfactual inference. He is a professor of computer science and statistics and director of the Cognitive Systems Laboratory at UCLA. In 2011, he was awarded with the Turing Award, the highest distinction in computer science. He is the author of The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect (coauthored with Dana McKenzie) among other titles. Twitter: @yudapearl

A new project out of the Center for Open Science in Charlottesville, Virginia, found that of all the experimental social science papers published in Science and Nature from 2010–15, 62% successfully replicated, even when larger sample sizes were used. What does this say about peer review? Host Sarah Crespi talks with Staff Writer Kelly Servick about how this project stacks up against similar replication efforts, and whether we can achieve similar results by merely asking people to guess whether a study can be replicated. Podcast producer Meagan Cantwell interviews Emily Brodsky of the University of California, Santa Cruz, about her research report examining why earthquakes occur as far as 10 kilometers from wastewater injection and fracking sites. Emily discusses why the well-established mechanism for human-induced earthquakes doesn't explain this distance, and how these findings may influence where we place injection wells in the future. In this month's book podcast, Jen Golbeck interviews Judea Pearl and Dana McKenzie, authors of The Book of Why: The New Science of Cause and Effect. They propose that researchers have for too long shied away from claiming causality and provide a road map for bringing cause and effect back into science. This week's episode was edited by Podigy.

Billions of years ago, Mars probably hosted many water features: streams, rivers, gullies, etc. But until recently, water detected on the Red Planet was either locked up in ice or flitting about as a gas in the atmosphere. Now, researchers analyzing radar data from the Mars Express mission have found evidence for an enormous salty lake under the southern polar ice cap of Mars. Daniel Clery joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss how the water was found and how it can still be liquid—despite temperatures and pressures typically inhospitable to water in its liquid form. Read the research. Sarah also talks with science journalist Katherine Kornei about her story on changing athletic performance after gender transition. The feature profiles researcher Joanna Harper on the work she has done to understand the impacts of hormone replacement therapy and testosterone levels in transgender women involved in running and other sports. It turns out within a year of beginning hormone replacement therapy, transgender women plateau at their new performance level and stay in a similar rank with respect to the top performers in the sport. Her work has influenced sports oversight bodies like the International Olympic Committee. In this month’s book segment, Jen Golbeck interviews Andrew Lawler about his book The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
