Anjali Bastianpillai breaks down the state of the AI market and cybersecurity concerns. She stresses the need for cybersecurity to catch up to agentic AI's abilities. As demographics change and countries worry about having enough workers, AI will fill in the gaps, Anjali notes. She thinks the software pullback creates opportunities for long-term investments. A “great tailwind” is the infrastructure buildout, which is “really critical” for the AI era. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode of Construction Corner, host Dillon breaks down the massive workforce shifts happening across America — from the $600 billion data center construction boom driven by the big hyperscalers, to how AI is simultaneously eliminating jobs at large corporations while creating new ones at smaller companies. He covers the growing apprenticeship-to-foreman ratio gap threatening job site productivity, why modern tools are opening the trades to a broader workforce, and how implementing simple checklists and Elon Musk's 5-step process optimization framework can help construction firms train, retain, and scale their teams in today's high-demand environment.

In this episode, Dr. Katie Boston-Leary, Senior Vice President of Equity and Engagement at the American Nurses Enterprise, discusses the ongoing nursing workforce challenges, including maldistribution, specialty gaps, and rural shortages. She also shares her perspective on leadership, equity in healthcare, and how technology and AI could help reduce administrative burden and improve patient care.

Most organizations don't have an AI problem — they have a human readiness problem. Despite massive investment and accelerating adoption, most AI initiatives are falling short of real business impact. The reason isn't immature technology. It's that workforces, roles and leaders haven't been prepared for what AI actually changes. In this episode, Gartner VP Analyst Alicia Mullery explains why the gap between AI innovation and AI outcomes continues to widen. In a preview of her recent webinar on workforce readiness, you'll hear what's really happening: not mass layoffs, but hiring restraint, role redesign, and a strategic remix of talent — all of which demand far more change management than most organizations anticipate.   You'll learn: Why most AI initiatives stall at productivity gains instead of delivering financial  ROI The three types of AI value and how confusion between them derails results What's actually happening to jobs as AI adoption accelerates The essential skills every employee needs in an AI‑dominant future Why change management is the missing linchpin for sustained AI impact   Dig deeper: Register to watch the full Workforce Readiness webinar Try out AskGartner for more AI-powered insights See how Gartner is the world authority on AI

On this episode, Ryan Dull is joined by John Heyliger, Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition at Lockheed Martin. They discuss how one of the world's largest defense organizations is modernizing talent acquisition, shifting toward skills-based hiring, embedding AI into recruiter workflows and tying TA outcomes directly to business performance. John shares practical insights on workforce planning, operational excellence, and what it takes to evolve from recruiter to strategic talent advisor.Key Takeaways:00:00 Introduction.01:00 John's journey to talent acquisition and the roles that shaped his path. 03:00 Lockheed Martin's scale, footprint and annual hiring volume.04:00 The team modernizes HR and TA with a new ATS and HCM rollout, plus broader enterprise transformation and AI enablement.05:00 TA success metrics go beyond time to fill, including candidate quality signals and funnel efficiency.07:00 Tying recruiting speed to business outcomes — including faster hiring, enabling faster revenue recognition in some programs.08:00 Short-term priorities include AI readiness, recruiter productivity gains, candidate experience and skills-based assessment pilots.10:00 Candidate fraud and AI-generated résumés increase the need for stronger selection, detection and assessment practices.12:00 Skills-based transformation requires “skills, roles and mobility.” 14:00 AI skill matching introduces adoption risks on both ends: too much skepticism or too much trust in the matching output.18:00 Workforce planning is a strategic advantage when the business owns demand and HR owns supply, reducing reactive TA.Resources Mentioned:John Heyligerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stem-workforce-transformation-data/Lockheed Martinhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/lockheed-martin/Josh Bersinhttps://joshbersin.com/talent-acquisition-revolution/This episode is brought to you by Sagemark HR.Sagemark HR can help you:✔ Improve your talent practices and make better, more informed people decisions.After 20+ years of experience leading Recruiting and Talent Acquisition across a wide variety of industries, I've seen enough hires (over 100,000 to date) to know that hiring decisions truly can make or break an organization.✔ Identify opportunities to not only improve your talent practices, but also delivering tangible business results.We understand every organization is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all magic solution.

In this episode, AJ Vaughan explores a structural blind spot inside modern organizations: HR leaders are responsible for people, yet they rarely have real visibility into the operational data that defines how those people perform.Finance teams live inside financial dashboards. Sales teams live inside revenue metrics. Product teams track adoption and delivery data. But HR is often operating in a completely separate data ecosystem — focused on hiring systems, engagement surveys, and HR platforms that rarely connect to the operational realities of the business.AJ breaks down a tangible example inside revenue teams: SDR churn. When sales development reps are cycling out every 3–6 months, the root problem may be learning and development, not hiring. Yet HR is often brought in only to recruit replacements rather than diagnose the deeper performance system.The conversation explores why this disconnect exists, how it impacts revenue performance, and what it would look like if HR leaders had real access to — and fluency in — the same dashboards that sales, finance, and operations use every day.AJ also explains how this philosophy is shaping the vision behind Pulse HR Intelligence: a model where HR technology doesn't just serve HR workflows, but gives people leaders a full view of how work actually happens across the organization.Because the future of HR isn't better recruiting tools.It's operational intelligence about the workforce itself.

Jonathan Buckle, SVP for the Americas at Mitel, spoke with Moshe Beauford of Technology Reseller News during the Enterprise Connect conference about how organizations are rethinking communications platforms to better support the modern workforce. Buckle explained that enterprises are looking beyond traditional telephony toward platforms that improve employee productivity and engagement while integrating communications directly into business workflows. As organizations adapt to hybrid work models and distributed teams, unified communications systems must evolve to support collaboration across multiple locations and devices. A key theme of the discussion was workforce experience—the idea that communications technology should make it easier for employees to connect with colleagues and customers while accessing the tools they need to do their jobs. “Organizations are realizing that the experience employees have with their communications tools directly impacts how well they can serve customers,” Buckle said. Mitel's strategy focuses on delivering communications platforms that combine voice, collaboration, and contact center capabilities while supporting cloud, hybrid, and on-premise deployment options. This flexibility allows organizations to modernize at their own pace while continuing to support existing infrastructure investments. As discussions at Enterprise Connect continue to highlight the role of AI, cloud platforms, and evolving workplace expectations, Buckle emphasized that communications technology will remain central to how organizations enable productivity and deliver better customer experiences.

Matt Bramson, Chief Revenue Officer at Spearfish, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, during the Enterprise Connect conference about how AI is transforming workforce intelligence and performance management in the contact center. Bramson explained that Spearfish focuses on helping organizations better understand and support their frontline customer service teams by analyzing real conversations between agents and customers. Using AI-driven insights, the platform identifies coaching opportunities, highlights best practices, and provides managers with actionable data that can improve both agent performance and customer experience. A key theme of the discussion was the importance of turning conversational data into practical intelligence. “Every interaction between an agent and a customer contains insights that can help improve performance,” Bramson said. By analyzing those interactions at scale, organizations can identify patterns that help supervisors coach agents more effectively and optimize service operations. Bramson also emphasized that many organizations struggle with the complexity of managing large contact center teams while maintaining consistent service quality. AI-powered analytics can surface key moments in conversations, helping managers focus on the interactions that matter most rather than manually reviewing thousands of calls. As enterprise communications leaders gathered at Enterprise Connect to explore the future of AI in collaboration and customer engagement, Spearfish highlighted how conversation intelligence can help organizations improve agent effectiveness, strengthen customer relationships, and create more data-driven contact center operations.

What happens when AI stops helping with work—and starts doing the work itself?This episode connects a set of developments that business leaders should not ignore. From Sequoia's thesis that AI is replacing services, not just software, to Anthropic's findings that AI adoption is still far behind AI capability, the message is clear: the bottleneck is no longer technology. It is implementation.The bigger takeaway is even more important. Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic all released capabilities this week that make autonomous, business-ready AI workflows far more practical than they were even a few months ago. For leaders, that means the window to experiment is still open—but it may not stay open for long.In this session, you'll discover:Why AI is increasingly targeting work itself rather than the software layer around itThe difference between intelligence work and judgment work, and why that matters for business leadersWhat Anthropic's Claude usage data reveals about the gap between AI capability and actual adoptionWhy friction—not technical limitations—is slowing AI transformation inside companiesHow Google's new Workspace CLI expands agent access across Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and moreWhat Microsoft Copilot Cowork could mean for enterprise automation inside Microsoft 365Why AI review systems will become essential as AI-generated output scales across functionsHow autonomous agent loops could reshape software, marketing, sales, customer service, and product developmentWhat recent layoffs at Meta and Atlassian suggest about the future of knowledge workThe legal battles emerging around AI, from copyright to legal advice to data privacyAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at some of the big projects that are happening around campus. Dr. Ford shares news about the long-awaited renovations to Seth Pounds Auditorium, which officially began during Spring Break as crews fenced off and marked the area for construction. One of the college's first buildings, Seth Pounds is being transformed into one of the top auditoriums in the region, with an expanded stage designed to accommodate an orchestra and will host cultural events for both the college and the community. Ford also discusses new developments at the Northeast at Corinth campus, including facility expansions that will support the Alcorn County School District with concurrent enrollment opportunities and the creation of an Aerospace Technician lab in partnership with Northrop Grumman. Additional Booneville campus improvements include updated entrance signage to better guide students and visitors while reinforcing the college's community presence. Recreational enhancements are also underway, as the college adds pickleball and volleyball lines to the tennis courts beside the Haney Union, giving students more options for on-campus activities. One of the most impactful projects, according to Ford, is the buildout of the Career Technical Building in the former Corinthian building off Highway 4 -- a development that will significantly expand health science programs, boost enrollment, and provide more space for career-technical training to help prepare local workers for tomorrow's jobs. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at ServiceNow's new Autonomous Workforce and what it means for the future of the digital workforce. Highlights 00:03 — As companies become more familiar with the scope and capabilities of agentic AI, they're seeking more efficient ways to integrate these features into their workflows. And in line with this trend, ServiceNow has launched the Autonomous Workforce: teams of AI specialists that will enhance teams with domain-specific AI knowledge. 00:29 — So how does the Autonomous Workforce operate in practice? Well, the AI specialists deployed by the system have defined roles and work alongside human team members. ServiceNow explains that this shift represents a move away from AI agents that complete individual tasks to teams of AI specialists that take on specific roles. 00:57 — These specialists execute entire workflows from start to finish autonomously. Teams can onboard pre-skilled AI specialists with just a few clicks. These specialists are familiar with their roles, permissions, and, crucially, the historical enterprise context. Companies can scale the scope of the specialists on demand to match spikes in activity. 01:20 — The first out-of-the-box specialist is theLevel 1 Service Desk AI Specialist which can autonomously diagnose and resolve typical IT support requests like password resets or network troubleshooting. Proof of concept for this new system lies with ServiceNow, where the Autonomous Workforce is already handling over 90% of employee IT requests. 02:01 — What's truly remarkable is the redefinition of the work of the digital workforce. Having a context-aware, independent worker for specific tasks is a really outstanding achievement and development. It embodies the futuristic vision of a robotic worker and, in reality, is somewhat more streamlined than many of the widely dispersed agentic systems that I've come across today.

Host Amy Nicklaus talks with Peter Okun, Editor of Manufacturing Podcast News, about what a PMI move above 50 really means after months of contraction and why the current reading signals disciplined stabilization rather than an overheated surge. They discuss how global steel output—especially shifts in China—drives price volatility and why manufacturers are prioritizing regional sourcing, longer-term contracts, supplier diversification, and data-driven planning to manage risk. Okun also highlights rising ransomware exposure for mid-size manufacturers, emphasizing that downtime, trust, and reputation costs often outweigh ransom itself, and recommends basics like MFA, tested offline backups, training, and response protocols. The episode covers tariff unpredictability and regionalization, workforce strategies amid a persistent skills gap, thoughtful AI adoption to improve morale and productivity, and why adaptability, resilience, digital visibility, and sustainability will define competitiveness over the next three to five years.   00:00 Welcome and Agenda 01:01 PMI Above 50 Explained 02:32 Recovery or Bounce 03:28 Executive Playbook Now 04:15 Early Expansion Risks 04:57 Global Steel Ripple Effects 06:10 Sourcing for Reliability 07:12 Is Globalization Fading 07:27 Ransomware Reality Check 09:05 Cybersecurity Basics 09:50 Tariffs and Regionalization 10:33 Adapting Supply Strategies 11:44 Workforce and AI Shifts 12:24 Skills Gap and Training 13:29 AI Morale and Reskilling 14:50 Winning Mindset Ahead 15:24 Next 3 to 5 Years 16:31 Sustainability as Strategy 17:07 Key Takeaway Recalibration 17:46 Wrap Up and Where to Follow   Further reading: At Last: Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Index at 52.7 Percent - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/at-last-institute-for-supply-management-manufacturing-index-at-52-7-percent/   Global Steel Output Is Slipping, and the Reasons Go Deeper Than One Bad Month - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/global-steel-output-is-slipping-and-the-reasons-go-deeper-than-one-bad-month/    Why Ransomware Is Hitting Mid-Sized Manufacturers Harder Than Ever - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/why-ransomware-is-hitting-mid-sized-manufacturers-harder-than-ever/   How USMCA and New Tariffs Are Rattling U.S. Manufacturing - https://manufacturingtalkradio.com/news/how-usmca-and-new-tariffs-are-rattling-u-s-manufacturing/  Learn more about your ad choices.

Since coming to Washington, DC in April 2025, Congressman Randy Fine has risen to become one of the most highly effective communicators on Capitol Hill, clearly articulating the importance of implementing principled reforms and boldly addressing challenges and opportunities we face in America today. His messages remind us of President Ronald Reagan's smart responses, explaining in a simple language what we are facing as Americans, and presenting the unvarnished truth. Topics: — US and Israel airstikes against Iran's regime : A timeline of Iranian terrorist attacks and threats leading to America's just intervention. — Certain mosques on American soil mourning the death of the head of State Sponsor of Terrorism Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei. — Congressman Fine's message to Europe and NATO members. — The Impact of U.S. economic reforms. Bio: Randy Fine was elected to represent Florida's 6th Congressional District in April of 2025 and serves on the House Foreign Affairs and the Education and Workforce Committee. A third-generation Floridian, Randy built a career as a successful entrepreneur, founding and running businesses in retail, technology, and hospitality. Randy's retirement didn't last long. In 2016, he was elected to the Florida House, where he served the maximum eight years before moving on to the Florida Senate and then Congress. During his time in Tallahassee, he chaired five committees, passed more than forty bills, and became known as a strong advocate for school choice, tough immigration enforcement, and protecting children from harmful ideologies. As the only Jewish Republican in the Florida Legislature, Randy led the fight to make Florida the safest state in America for Jewish families and people of faith. His colleagues and national Jewish organizations honored him with the nickname “The Hebrew Hammer” for his work opposing terrorism and combatting antisemitism. The son of two public school teachers, Randy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in government and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction as one of the youngest Baker Scholars in decades.

Last week, the Education and Workforce select committee released its final report on an inquiry into social media's harm on young people. The report included 12 recommendations to the government on action to take which would protect tamariki online. These recommendations included a social media ban for under 16s, establishing an independent national regulator for online safety and addressing legislative gaps to increase companies' liability for harm. Some MPs have disagreed with the report's findings however, with the ACT party calling for a patient, rather than fast changing, approach to online restrictions. To discuss the findings of the report and how the government should address online protection Producer Thomas spoke to Tāhono Trust member Anjum Rahmen.

AI-powered agents and robots are already technically capable of performing an increasing share of human work. So how can workers, managers and organizations adapt to the dramatic shift?  A new McKinsey Global Institute report offers a roadmap. While AI is transforming the workplace at unprecedented speed, people will remain essential for many tasks that are still beyond AI's capabilities—and to supervise, manage and collaborate with the technology. In fact, the demand for workers with AI fluency has grown dramatically over the past two years. Work in the future will be a partnership between people, agents and robots.  Which skills are likely to be most—and least—impacted by automation? How can public institutions help by aligning education and training with emerging skill needs—from AI fluency to skilled trades—and widening access to opportunity? And what strategies can organizations adopt to help their workforce adapt? Join us for a conversation with report authors Alexis Krivkovich and Anu Madgavkar of McKinsey Global Institute, along with Katy George, Microsoft's corporate vice president of workforce transformation, and Kevin Delaney, editor-in-chief of The San Francisco Standard. They will discuss the research findings and share practical guidance for navigating the transition to human-AI collaboration at work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week the squad breaks down the Anthropic vs OpenAI drama (Fire Sam Altman is trending again), debates whether Apple is quietly winning the AI race by spending $0 while everyone else burns $100 billion, and confronts the question no one in Silicon Valley wants to answer: why aren't 200,000 software engineers talking about losing their jobs? Sam's answer: "Because it would be to admit you're in the 200,000 getting fired, not the 200,000 getting paid more." Plus: is China winning the open source AI phenomenon, is a recession coming (Lux Capital thinks so), and how Sam believes “code is just content” despite having built six apps in a week while on conference calls, including an AI clone of the podcast using everyone's real voices.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what people often assume about community colleges and what President Ford wishes more people understood — that the quality of education at Northeast rivals, and often exceeds, that of a four-year university. Ford breaks down the rigorous standards required of Northeast instructors, noting that every faculty member holds at least a master's degree or higher in their field. The veteran educator shares how Northeast isn't simply a stepping stone, but a launching pad — whether students are preparing to transfer to a four-year university, land their dream job, or sharpen their workforce skills. Ford also highlights the value and affordability of a community college education, emphasizing that Northeast students receive strong academic support, graduate with less debt, and leave with the confidence to succeed. Listeners will hear how Northeast's smaller class sizes — often a 1-to-20 or 1-to-25 ratio — foster personalized instruction and how instructors take a genuine interest in helping students thrive both academically and personally. Ford discusses the extensive support system available to students and employees alike, noting that Northeast is the only community college in Mississippi with a Director of Employee Development. Beyond academics, Ford explains how students can take advantage of numerous extracurricular opportunities designed to build leadership and community engagement. He also touches on Northeast's statewide articulation agreements that simplify the transfer process to four-year colleges and universities. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

In this episode, Jason delivers a passionate wake-up call to the civil construction industry: large batch roadwork is destroying productivity, wasting money, and disrespecting the public. After driving across multiple states and witnessing miles upon miles of open roadway, idle traffic control, unused K-rail, and inactive work zones, Jason breaks down what he sees as a systemic production failure  not a funding problem, not a labor shortage, but a thinking problem. What you'll learn in this episode: Excessive traffic control rental. Idle equipment and diesel burn. Regrading and rework. Stormwater and erosion costs. Public disruption and safety risk. Workforce dilution across too many fronts. This episode challenges civil contractors to rethink batching, rethink flow, and stop normalizing waste disguised as "how we've always done it."

The labor market is evolving faster than traditional signals of competence can keep up. Roles are shifting, technology is accelerating, and employers are searching for clearer ways to identify real capability. In that environment, degrees remain valuable, but verified skills are becoming increasingly central to hiring and advancement.In a marketplace now saturated with more than a million credentials, clarity has become the differentiator. Some credentials function as marketing tools. Others function as infrastructure for trust. The difference lies in independence, rigor, defensibility, and industry validation.In this conversation with Kathleen McNally, CEO of NOCTI, we explore how high-quality third-party credentials create reliable signals for employers, meaningful exit value for learners, and actionable tools for educators. From ISO-backed certification standards to performance testing and stackable micro-credentials, this episode reframes credentials as essential infrastructure for a more agile, skills-driven economy.In this Episode:Why employers are shifting from degree-first to skills-aware hiringWhat separates a participation badge from a legally defensible certificationHow micro-credentials create flexibility without sacrificing rigorHow “exit value” changes the way we think about graduationWhy performance-based assessment strengthens workforce confidence3 Big Takeaways1. Verified credentials are strengthening the signal in a fast-moving labor market. As job roles evolve more quickly than traditional degree cycles, employers are seeking precise indicators of job-ready capability. Third-party certifications developed with national industry input provide measurable proof of occupational and technical competency.2. Quality and independence determine whether a credential carries real weight. With more than a million credentials available, rigor is what separates noise from trust. ISO-aligned, legally defensible certifications built through independent subject matter experts reduce hiring risk and create consistency across regions and employers.3. Micro-credentials are enabling lifelong learning with structure and momentum. Stackable certifications allow learners to document specific competencies at any stage of their career. Whether entering the workforce, reskilling mid-career, or adding new capabilities such as AI literacy, credentials create flexible on-ramps and sustained pathways for advancemenWe want to hear from you!
