Podcasts about Workday

Aaron and Brandon cover what the week's news means for enterprise buyers. They question whether Oracle's reported $664 billion backlog is durable demand or overlapping commitments, and Brandon argues contracted future spend is how enterprise business works. On the labs' "slow down" messaging, Brandon sees no coordination, only incentives, while Aaron finds the timing too coincidental. Salesforce's Nemotron-based model points to enterprises customizing open models instead of building their own, and Brandon doubts labs will displace systems of record like Workday or SAP. Aaron argues agent pricing has reverted to familiar free, bundled, and negotiated tiers. He sees agent swarms as research capability that most enterprises lack the trust and human-in-the-loop controls to run.SHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoNordLayer - Use ENTERPRISE10 for 10% off.SHOW: 1064SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1064 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/hrfTovN3kMwSHOW LINKS:https://theenterpriseaishow.com/FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

Carl Quintanilla, David Faber and Sara Eisen discussed what to make of stocks rallying one day after the Fed's first interest rate hike since 2023. Falling oil prices and bond yields added to the positive sentiment on Wall Street. AI safety once again in the spotlight: In a blog post, OpenAI disclosed six new instances of what it calls "unexpected or concerning" behavior in its AI models, along with a new framework to track model "misalignment." Workday shares rallied on David's reporting: According to his sources, the company is continuing its take-private financing efforts. Also in focus: Salesforce's fiscal 2030 revenue target exceeds estimates; Generac soars on a generator deal with Amazon; The king and "AI" — Britain's King Charles meets with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and other top executives in Scotland about AI safety.Squawk on the Street Disclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The business press loves a simple story. A new product launches, a stock drops, a company stumbles, and the headlines write themselves. But what gets lost in that noise is the deeper logic driving these events, the category design lens that explains not just what happened, but why it matters. From the Apple Fold to the so-called SaaS apocalypse to Nike’s staggering collapse, the real stories are hiding just beneath the surface of what most journalists choose to cover. This episode of The Pirate Street Journal breaks down three major business topics through that lens. Christopher, Eddie, and Bri take a hard look at the week’s most important business news and share what the Wall Street Journal and the rest of the mainstream press consistently miss. The result is a faster, sharper, and more honest read on how business actually works. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Apple Fold: Seven Years Late and Still Winning Apple entered the foldable smartphone category with the iPhone Duo at a starting price of $1,999, seven years after Samsung launched its first foldable in 2019. The category has actually been shrinking, with shipments down 15% in the first half of the year. Yet analyst firm IDC projects Apple will capture 44% of all foldable revenue in 2026, before the device even has ten weeks on shelves. The pricing strategy here is no accident. By launching a $2,000 to $3,000 device alongside modest $100 price increases on its Pro lineup, Apple made those increases feel minor by comparison. This is a well-worn Apple Playbook: enter late, enter premium, and use design and ecosystem to cement a category that others started but could not scale.   Tim Cook’s Legacy and the AI Problem Apple Cannot Ignore Tim Cook took over Apple when its market cap sat just below $400 billion. Fifteen years later, that number has grown to approximately $4.5 trillion, an addition of $4 trillion in market value by a non-founder CEO. That run is arguably the most impressive in modern business history, yet the business press has largely failed to frame it that way or even acknowledge it plainly. The caution flag, however, is real. John Turnus is a hardware executive stepping into the top role at a moment when the defining battle in tech is being fought in AI and software. Siri continues to underperform against competitors like Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok. Apple’s greatest asset in the AI race is consumer trust, but trust alone will not build the context layer that makes AI outputs meaningful and reliable.   The SaaS Apocalypse That Never Came and What It Actually Reveals When AI coding tools from Anthropic and OpenAI exceeded expectations earlier this year, investors panicked and Salesforce stock dropped roughly 30%. The narrative was simple: if AI can write software, enterprise SaaS is finished. Then the earnings reports came in. Salesforce beat numbers and raised its outlook. ServiceNow, Workday, and Snowflake all came in strong, crediting AI as a driver rather than a threat. What the panic missed is that enterprise software companies are sitting on decades of proprietary intellectual capital. That data, combined with the context and meaning built around it, is exactly what AI needs to produce trusted business outcomes rather than generic responses. No broad-based large language model can replicate 40 years of domain-specific knowledge overnight, and enterprises are not switching vendors when they have one clear partner to hold accountable for results.

AND -> THE 5% TREASURY IS BACK - The 10-year Treasury yield briefly crossed 5% Monday for the first time since 2023. - Higher oil prices, hotter inflation, heavy bond supply and expectations for more Fed tightening are all pushing yields higher. - The move raises the hurdle rate for stocks while feeding directly into mortgages, corporate borrowing and other credit. - Bonds are becoming meaningful competition for equities again at a time when stock valuations remain elevated. SLOW DOWN THE AI - Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for deliberately slowing frontier-model advancement to create more time for safety controls. - Sam Altman and Elon Musk publicly backed the push for more caution; Microsoft separately released a draft AI code requiring models to remain under human control. - Microsoft says its models must accept shutdowns and corrections and should not be designed around claims of consciousness or legal rights. - The semiconductor index dropped more than 5% Monday; Nvidia, Broadcom, Micron and AMD were among the major casualties. DEEPSEEK CHANGES THE MEMORY MATH - DeepSeek's latest architecture sharply lowers the amount of memory required to run inference, including a major reduction in KV-cache requirements. - This is not simply HBM being replaced by SSD: the architecture reduces both high-speed memory and persistent-storage requirements per inference. - That complicates the straight-line thesis that every incremental AI token requires proportionally more HBM and storage. - Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix still benefit from enormous AI memory demand, but will efficiency gains become an important counterweight to unlimited-demand forecasts? V4V - What is it and how can you participate? TOKENS - A Quick Tutorial ORACLE SAYS THE AI SPENDING IS REAL - Oracle booked more than $30 billion of new AI cloud contracts during the quarter, taking total backlog to $664 billion. - Revenue rose 30% to $19.3 billion and adjusted EPS came in at $1.92 versus $1.74 expected. - Oracle spent $28.5 billion on capex, but about $11.36 billion was offset by customer prepayments. - Most new AI orders use prepayments, customer-owned hardware or similar arrangements, reducing the amount Oracle itself must finance. AI STOCKS MEET THEIR FIRST REAL NARRATIVE PROBLEM - The Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped roughly 5.4% Monday even though it remains up about 58% for the year. - Nvidia fell roughly 2.6%; Broadcom, Micron and AMD were each down around 4% during the session. - The new concern is not whether AI works, but whether safety restrictions could slow the pace of model releases and infrastructure spending. - Software names including Adobe, ServiceNow and Workday initially benefited as investors reconsidered how quickly AI might disrupt incumbent software. CHATGPT INVENTS THE WITNESSES - A New Mexico defense lawyer was fined $5,000 and held in contempt after submitting fabricated police testimony and nonexistent witnesses generated by ChatGPT. - The attorney had used ChatGPT to summarize trial proceedings and failed to verify the output before filing it with the court. - The appeal was reassigned to a public defender and the attorney was referred for further disciplinary review. - This goes beyond fake case citations: the system generated supposed factual evidence and attributed it to witnesses who did not exist. HUMANOID ROBOTS: FROM IPO MANIA TO THE BATTLEFIELD - China is researching humanoid robots for reconnaissance, logistics, hazardous missions and potentially urban combat. - Separately, Chinese regulators are tightening scrutiny of humanoid-robot IPOs after extreme volatility surrounding Unitree Robotics. - Unitree shares reportedly fell roughly 45% after initially increasing fivefold following its listing. - Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics also said a 2027 IPO is unlikely; Hyundai wants production capacity of roughly 30,000 robots annually by 2028. CHINA GETS ACCUSED OF INDUSTRIAL-SCALE AI COPYING - U.S. officials accused six Chinese AI companies, including DeepSeek, Moonshot and Alibaba, of using U.S. models for large-scale distillation. - Distillation trains smaller models using outputs from more powerful models, dramatically reducing development cost and time. - U.S. officials said the activity targeted technology from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and SpaceX. - China rejected the allegations and argued that distillation is a normal industry technique also used by American companies. OIL BACK ABOVE $100 - Brent traded around $107 Monday and WTI around $103 after fresh attacks on Saudi infrastructure and Middle East shipping. - Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline was temporarily disabled, threatening a route capable of carrying roughly 4% of global crude supply. - Gulf states postponed planned talks with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz as regional tensions widened. - Physical crude prices are becoming highly location-dependent: barrels with secure export routes command major premiums while trapped grades trade at steep discounts. COPPER GOES VERTICAL - Copper has recently traded near record territory around $14,500-$14,700 per metric ton. - Tight mine supply is colliding with demand from electric grids, data centers, renewable power and other electrification projects. - Tariff uncertainty has also distorted flows as traders move available metal toward markets offering the highest prices. - Copper's surge makes proposed mining combinations such as Anglo American-Teck increasingly valuable; that roughly $54 billion deal is still awaiting Chinese regulatory approval. THE BIG MYSTERY BANK SANCTION - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. would sanction a large bank as part of increased financial pressure on Iran. - He initially declined to identify the bank or its country. - The campaign has already targeted oil, shipping, finance, aviation, weapons procurement and digital-asset channels connected to Iran. - The market question is whether secondary sanctions begin touching larger banks or companies outside Iran that facilitate trade. APPLE'S $1,999 FOLDING BET - Apple launched the iPhone Duo, its first folding iPhone, priced at $1,999. - It opens to a 7.6-inch display and represents one of Apple's biggest changes to the iPhone form factor in years. - The launch puts Apple directly into a market dominated by Samsung and Huawei and could help push foldables beyond their current niche. - It is also arriving during a severe memory-and-storage chip shortage that has already forced higher pricing elsewhere in Apple's product lineup. PRIVATE CREDIT REDEMPTION PRESSURE EASES - Investors in BlackRock's $23.1 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund requested withdrawals equal to about 11.5% of shares, down from 13.3% the prior quarter - BUT, is this just a rounding error? - The fund will repurchase only 5%, the normal quarterly limit, leaving some redemption requests unfilled. - Other BlackRock private-credit vehicles also showed lower withdrawal requests during the quarter. - Private-credit investors have been worried about lending standards and heavy exposure to software companies potentially disrupted by AI. DID WE DISCUSS >>> THE $50 BILLION DATA-CENTER IPO - SB Energy is reportedly seeking a valuation above $50 billion despite having no operational data centers. - It reported about $139 million of first-half revenue against a $3.21 billion net loss. - The company claims roughly $439 billion of project backlog. - OpenAI is an investor, warrant holder and major future customer; Nvidia is also providing capital while supplying the chips. - Soooooo...... No operating data centers, billions in losses and a possible $50 billion valuation. At least they remembered to build the valuation first.   Love the Show? Then how about a Donation?

Interview Highlights:   The Scale of LSU Security: Sumit Jan's 14-person team protects roughly 20,000 endpoints, 6,000 servers, and over 100,000 users across LSU's identity management, incident response, and ERP security. Unlike a single corporation, LSU functions like a multi-company organization—academics, research, athletics, and community relations all require different, case-by-case security approaches rather than one uniform policy. Goodbye Mainframe: LSU fully retired its legacy mainframe system in 2025, migrating student records, registration, and grades to Workday, alongside a parallel move to Okta for identity and access management just 30 days later. Shifting to SaaS platforms like Workday reduces institutional risk by providing built-in redundancy and backups, versus the fragility of aging on-campus legacy hardware. Born From the Ransomware Wave: A surge of ransomware attacks on higher-ed institutions nationally pushed LSU to partner with the Board of Regents and GOHSEP to build a shared Security Operations Center (SOC) model in 2022–2023. A Student-Powered SOC: LSU's SOC, run through LONI, now supports 34 public higher-ed institutions statewide, staffing students 8-to-5 while a private partner covers nights, weekends, and holidays. TigerSOC Expands the Model: A second SOC, TigerSOC, has LSU students working as subcontractors for Atlanta-based Techstream, gaining real-world experience securing casino, healthcare, and banking clients—complete with federal background checks where required. Strong Job Outcomes: Nearly all graduating SOC analyst students land security jobs at or before graduation, often earning more within a year or two than LSU can pay a starting analyst. Open to Any Major: Jan intentionally recruits beyond computer science, arguing critical thinking matters more than a technical background—psychology, sociology, and engineering majors all bring valuable cross-disciplinary perspective to security analysis.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze how Aneel Bhusri is reshaping Workday's agentic AI strategy following his return as CEO.Highlights00:03 — Interesting conversations on the Workday FY27 Q2 earnings call last week. One of the things that came up here was the difference in their approach to agentic AI that's come about over the last several months since the return of CEO Aneel Bhusri.00:48 — One of the big things that happened here, he said, we don't necessarily want to have a whole lot of agents for a lot of simple functions. We want to focus on agentic AI that targets big, complex processes and challenges that our companies, that our customers are facing in HR and financials.01:08 — Here's one of the quotes that he gave on the Q2 earnings call. He said, "We have to have agents that deliver real ROI." He said, "We've killed a lot of agents since I've come back, or we've rolled small, simple agents up into bigger, more complex agents."01:27 — He said, "Anybody can solve the simple problems. That's not a place where we're going to be able to deliver this real ROI for customers." So, interesting time now for Workday, right? Because they're a big company, right? They're guiding to $10 billion in revenue for FY27, which will end January 31st.02:41 — I've got an article later that offers some more perspectives on this. Also, some comments from President and Chief Product and Technology Officer Gerrit Kazmeier. He goes into some detail about why this new wave of agents is so vital: that they've got to be able to be connected to everything, be able to handle these complex problems, and drive that big ROI.

Leading Change Through Clarity, Compassion, and Communication with Connie Rawson Coaching's Connie RawsonIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Connie Rawson, Executive Coach and Founder of Connie Rawson Coaching, to discuss how corporate leaders and business owners can navigate organizational change through high-impact communication. Connie, a seasoned executive coach who has advised leaders across tech and enterprise giants like Salesforce, Zendesk, and Workday, shares her battle-tested framework for executing difficult workplace discussions with clarity, courage, and empathy. This conversation delivers an actionable roadmap for executives looking to eliminate communication friction, handle performance reviews, navigate corporate restructurings, and lead through organizational transitions without damaging company culture or trust.The Executive Communication Blueprint: Mastering Candid Discussions and Driving Alignment During ChangeThe primary bottleneck stalling organizational growth during times of restructuring, acquisitions, or leadership pivots is executive communication avoidance. Connie Rawson explains that while uncomfortable conversations around underperformance or strategic shifts naturally trigger anxiety, avoiding these discussions creates severe organizational misalignment, low morale, and operational drag. To lead effectively, executives must approach every candid conversation with a defined purpose, establishing the desired productive outcome before initiating the dialogue. Giving team members a clear context advance notice—rather than sending vague meeting requests—lowers psychological defensiveness and prepares both parties for a constructive, solutions-oriented discussion.Balancing extreme messaging clarity with genuine empathy is essential for maintaining leadership credibility during high-stakes organizational transitions. Leaders often make the mistake of softening critical feedback so extensively that the core message becomes diluted, leaving the employee confused about expectations and next steps. Direct, succinct feedback must be paired with compassionate delivery, ensuring the recipient clearly understands performance gaps while feeling supported in their professional growth. Incorporating immediate alignment checks—such as asking open-ended questions and having the team member reflect back their understanding of key points—eliminates miscommunication and ensures mutual commitment to execution.Ultimately, sustaining long-term executive influence requires building a corporate culture grounded in radical transparency, dignity, and active listening. Treating employees with respect during challenging conversations—including lay-offs or role changes—preserves the internal brand, protects talent retention, and reinforces psychological safety across all management tiers. Executive leaders who invest in mastering candid communication frameworks build resilient organizations capable of adapting seamlessly to market volatility. When clear intentionality, contextual framing, radical feedback clarity, and compassionate delivery are synthesized into a single leadership architecture, executives remove friction, accelerate decision-making, and predictably expand enterprise valuation.About Connie RawsonConnie Rawson is an Executive Coach, leadership advisor, and the Founder of Connie Rawson Coaching. Drawing from extensive experience coaching high-level executives at major corporations like Salesforce, Workday, Mozilla, DraftKings, and Zendesk, Connie specializes in helping C-suite leaders and business owners navigate complex organizational change. She is a recognized expert in executive communication, team alignment, and change management, dedicated to empowering leaders to execute candid conversations with clarity and empathy.About Connie Rawson CoachingConnie Rawson Coaching is an elite executive coaching practice and leadership consultancy engineered to help corporate executives, business owners, and management teams master high-stakes communication and organizational change.

By setting clear intent, balancing direct messaging with empathy, and prioritizing mutual alignment, business leaders can transform challenging workplace discussions into powerful catalysts for trust, clarity, and sustainable growth.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Full show notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/bolt In this episode, Chandler Bolt and I talk about how we've each landed on almost identical daily systems for running a company, and the one place we still disagree. Chandler makes the case that a book is a business asset rather than an income stream, explains what it actually costs to buy your way onto the New York Times list, and then walks through the routine underneath all of it: a nap he hasn't skipped in years, a morning he refuses to let anyone schedule over, and a phone that geofences itself into work mode the moment he arrives at the office. You'll also hear why he self-experiments relentlessly yet refuses to wear a tracker. We get into the two metrics worth watching if you track nothing else, why the 30-minute nap ceiling is weaker science than you've been told, why a hot tub is harder on fertility than a sauna, what overhead LED lighting does to your afternoon and the BlockBlueLight bulbs I use instead, and why a manual WALKOLUTION treadmill desk beats a motorized one. Chandler also shares the airplane movement trick that got him mistaken for a lunatic by a stranger who later became a friend. Then we close on communication: being a default no, replacing calls with voice memos, and using SocialSweep to surface the connections already sitting in your phone.

The final countdown to Rosh Hashanah has begun. With only seven days left in the year, many of us are asking an uncomfortable question: How do you truly prepare during Elul when your days are filled with calls, clients, commutes, children, responsibilities, and exhaustion?In this episode, we explore the timeless lessons of Parshas Nitzavim–Vayeilech, including Jewish unity, the accessibility of Torah, the power of free choice, Moshe's final day, the shared mission of Hakhel, and the promise that Torah will endure even during difficult times.But how do these ideas apply outside the beis medrash—when you are dealing with parnassah pressures, family obligations, and the fear that you may be falling short spiritually?The answer emerges from the Gemara in Kiddushin 40b, which discusses whether Torah study or action is greater. The conclusion is powerful: Study is greater because it leads to action.That teaching builds a bridge between yeshiva life and working life. The office, grocery store, highway, contract, and dinner table are not automatically “non-Torah hours.” They are where Torah learning is transformed into honesty, patience, refined speech, better choices, and meaningful mitzvah observance.As the year draws to a close, discover how to protect your limited learning time, study with greater clarity, and turn your everyday responsibilities into genuine Elul avodah.Key TakeawaysHow Parshas Nitzavim–Vayeilech prepares us for Rosh HashanahWhy Torah remains close and practical in everyday lifeHow Jewish unity, free choice, and Hakhel shape our spiritual missionWhat Kiddushin 40b teaches about Torah study and actionWhy working life does not have to be separate from Torah lifeHow learning can improve honesty, patience, speech, and decision-makingTwo practical goals for the final week of Elul:Protect your daily Torah-learning timeLearn for clarity and meaningful change—not merely to cover pagesIf this episode changed the way you view your schedule, subscribe to the podcast, share it with a friend preparing for Rosh Hashanah, and leave a review.

Why Healthcare HR Tech Fails: It's Never the SoftwareFeaturing Stephanie Wright, Founder, Wright Talent AdvisoryOnly 43% of HR professionals say their HR technology is effective. Fewer than half. These are organizations that ran vendor selection, sat through demos, built a business case, got budget approved, signed a contract, and went live. Then more than half of them looked at what they bought and said it was not working.Luke sits down with Stephanie Wright, a healthcare TA implementation specialist who has worked across Workday, Phenom, and other major platforms at health systems including Carilion Clinic. She launched Wright Talent Advisory in Dallas to do full-time what most HR leaders only do once in a career.

The Shred is a weekly roundup of what's making headlines in the world of employment.

Mary sits down with Ryan Daniels, Co-Founder and CEO of Crosby, for a rare look inside one of legal tech's most talked-about AI native law firms. They dig into why Ryan built a law firm instead of a legal tech company, how fixed fee pricing completely changes the unit economics of legal services, why Crosby lawyers are evaluated on speed not hours, how they're building a data moat from every contract they touch, and what it actually looks like when a law firm is designed from day one to hand work off to agents.

Highlights 00:02 — Workday last week reported its Q2 results. They came in pretty strong, and I think if we look at the tenor of some of the comments that co-founder and CEO Aneel Bhusri made on the Q2 earnings call last week, we'll see that he's generally pretty low-key. But he's quite bullish now about what's going on with the early momentum Workday is gaining from its AI products. 00:49 — First, quick overview of some key Q2 numbers. Subscription revenue was up 13.9% to $2.47 billion. Its current RPO was up 14.2% to just over $9 billion. And for all of fiscal '27, which will end January 31, its guidance now says that the company expects to grow 13% to about $9.945 billion. 01:54 — AI tools drove more than $100 million in annual contract value in Q2. Workday is very excited about that and believes that that shows good evidence of the uptake from customers and the rising demand for these AI solutions. Also, the AI run rate for AI SKUs, as Workday calls it, across the company is now almost $600 million, and it said that's up 200%. 02:55 — And then what I'm calling the power of enterprise context. Bhusri said said, "We're an enterprise context company." And he said that context — who reports to whom, who pays the bills, where different people are organized, and so on — all those little sort of unstructured things that go on within corporations. Workday has it. 03:35 — So, it has been six months now since Aneel Bhusri returned to Workday as CEO. He felt that with the rise of AI, the AI revolution, that it was time Workday needed to have a deep technologist in the CEO spot, leading the company through this tumultuous change. So, he's increased the pace of technology innovation. He has got the growth rate moving back upward. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Workday's Q2 2027 earnings were a pivot point, showing how Workday has shifted to its “AI-Forward Future.” The company reported $600 Million of recurring AI revenue and a clear and confident position in the market. While Workday's 12.8% YTY revenue growth is nowhere near that of a Frontier Lab, my takeaway is that Workday is here to stay and has a clear position in the agentic business ahead. Listen up and you may agree with me that SaaS software companies are not going away at all: they may form the basis for the enterprise AI wave ahead.

Mehr zum Vorteilsangebot der Handelsblatt-Fachmedien erfahrt ihr unter: www.handelsblatt.com/mehraktien Die Wall Street startet nach der starken Tech-Rally verhalten in den Tag. Nach Nvidia richtet sich der Fokus auf Fed-Chef Kevin Warsh und seine Rede um 16 Uhr MEZ in Jackson Hole.. Die entscheidende Frage ist, wie Warsh die jüngsten Inflationsdaten einordnet und ob er Hinweise auf den weiteren Zinskurs liefert. Gleichzeitig bleibt die Lage rund um Iran ein Unsicherheitsfaktor. Die diplomatischen Fortschritte sind ins Stocken geraten, während Gespräche über eine Öffnung der Straße von Hormus weiterlaufen. Laut US Central Command ist die Meerenge inzwischen frei von Minen. Bei den Unternehmen fallen die Reaktionen auf die zahlreichen Quartalszahlen gemischt aus. Marvell steigert den Umsatz um 37 Prozent auf 2,74 Milliarden US-Dollar und das Rechenzentrumsgeschäft um 46 Prozent, doch Zahlen und Ausblick können die nach Nvidia hohe Messlatte nicht überspringen. Affirm überzeugt dagegen mit 36 Prozent mehr Zahlungsvolumen und einem besser als befürchteten Ausblick, während Ulta Beauty Gewinn und vergleichbare Umsätze klar über den Erwartungen meldet und die Jahresprognose anhebt. Im Softwaresektor bleiben die Signale überwiegend konstruktiv. Autodesk liefert ein solides Beat-and-Raise, während Workday zwar beim Gewinn überzeugt, der Ausblick aber gemischt ausfällt. Für Druck sorgt dagegen PayPal, nachdem Stripe und Advent ihre Übernahmepläne laut Bloomberg aufgegeben haben.

Today I share some research we're doing on wages in the inflationary “AI-economy.” While many people are studying the labor market (it's a huge industry), it's not hard to see that most wages are not keeping up with inflation, yet some are. As you'll hear we now see the “Superworker” jobs and roles that are “inflation protected” and we also see the jobs that are declining in value. I also discuss a new pragmatic approach to corporate AI investment, as well as the slow end of the “SaaSpocalypse” idea. In other words, many of the existing systems you have are not going to be “destroyed” or “replaced” by agentic disruptors: rather these software companies are becoming AI savvy. This includes Workday, Oracle, ADP, SAP, as well as hypergrowth companies like HiBob. Even Docebo and Cornerstone are now seeing the benefits of their AI pivots. Anyway lots to talk about, and I'll be publishing more on all this soon. Stay tuned for the big Jupiter release of Galileo, it will blow your mind – coming in a few weeks. PS.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why Workday believes AI security is becoming an ecosystem problem that no single vendor can solve independently. Highlights 00:06 — Workday has become the latest organization to join the Open Secure AI Alliance. It's a well-supported initiative that aims to improve the security of AI systems through open-source tools, research, and knowledge sharing. Workday's joining this alliance, and it's in very good company alongside companies like NVIDIA, Cloudflare, Microsoft, and IBM. 00:31 — I want to read a short passage from Workday's joining announcement to give you a sense of why the company chose to join the alliance. So, from Workday: “Delivering safe, trusted enterprise AI requires multiple layers of protection across the entire application stack, from identity management and access permissions to continuous guardrails, monitoring, and governance.” 00:53 — “Our commitment to continuously build our internal security engineering programs to meet these high standards is why Workday is joining the Open Secure AI Alliance.” Enterprise AI is shifting quickly towards more open stacks and more ambitious agents. Initiatives like the Open Secure AI Alliance are incredibly important. 01:22 — Workday and the other members of the alliance recognize that AI security is quickly becoming an ecosystem problem, not just something that one vendor can solve independently. And that's why, for example, Workday specifically said that it has historically worked on security internally for its own platform, but now is sharing what it's learned with the wider community. 01:50 — As AI becomes more open, distributed, and agentic, securing models isn't going to be enough. The challenge now, and that's one that Workday and the other members of the alliance are trying to address, is securing everything around these models. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Every AI conversation in our industry sounds the same right now. Someone shows a demo, everyone nods, and then Monday happens and nothing changes. So we asked a narrower question: what are you actually doing with this on a Tuesday afternoon? Brandon Toombs answered with five things he built himself - and he is the first to tell you he is not a programmer. Along the way: browser-use agents clicking through an HR system, a blunt read on the reported Workday going-private talk, why token bills are real, and the one nobody in our industry enjoys hearing - that HR admins do not need their consultants as much as they used to.

The Shred is a weekly roundup of what's making headlines in the world of employment.

Dan Nathan hosts FirstMark Capital partner David Waltcher at the firm's HQ to discuss Waltcher 's path from an Accel internship to investing in enterprise software, security, and AI. They compare the consumer-to-SaaS shift, the post-2021 “SaaSpocalypse,” and how public markets can overreact to AI narratives, using Salesforce as a system-of-record case study. Waltcher argues many incumbents will prove durable due to switching costs, ecosystems, and trust, while M&A is accelerating amid volatile publics, strong buyers, and fast-growing AI businesses, citing deals like Stripe–OpenRouter and interest in Workday. The conversation turns to Chinese and open models driving token cost deflation and model routing, and to rising security threats, including agent-related incidents, fueling demand. Waltcher highlights FirstMark investments Onyx (agent security), Nebulock (agentic threat hunting), and Tracebit (assume-breach deception), and says innovation risk is highest if recession or a market crash hits, not from AGI timing debates. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

As a communications professional you've used ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot in the last 30 days. Probably in the last week. Probably earlier today. And at some point you've had the same experience: you put in a prompt, you get back something that's technically competent and completely generic. You spend the next 20 minutes re-prompting, editing, wrestling it into something that actually sounds like your organization, your voice, your situation. A Workday study found that 40% of the time saved by using generative AI tools is immediately lost reworking the outputs. You traded one kind of work for another.The reason is simple and almost nobody is saying it out loud. Those tools were built for everyone. Which in communications terms means they were built for no one in particular. They don't think like a communicator. They don't have access to what a communicator needs. They don't know what's being said about your organization right now across 4,000 TikTok videos, each with modest view counts, each repeating the same damaging narrative, each flying completely below the radar of your existing monitoring tools. Stratum is the tool that needed to be built three years ago.Watch the YouTube Video of this episode to see Stratum demonstration Listen For3:29 Why do communications teams need AI built around use cases instead of tools?6:30 What is Stratum and how is it different from ChatGPT or Copilot?12:18 What is the difference between an AI agent and an agentic workflow?17:29 Can AI detect a reputation crisis before it goes viral?19:45 How can AI identify the right influencers for a campaign? Guest: Matt Collette, Sequencr.AIWebsite | LinkedIn | Stratum Platform DougSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Subscribe to the Stories and Strategies PR podcast newsletter Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

UX portfolio websites eat up months, sometimes years, of time that could be spent applying, and Sarah argues you don't need one at all. This is week two of a five part series on UX portfolio myths, and this episode takes on one of the most repeated pieces of advice in the industry, that your portfolio has to be a website.Sarah's counter is a portfolio presentation instead. It's free, doesn't require learning new software, takes weeks instead of months, and can be duplicated and tailored for each specific role in under an hour. She walks through a full comparison of time, cost, customization, and what she calls interview readiness, the idea that a presentation portfolio doubles as the exact thing you'll need to present in interviews anyway, so you're never scrambling to build something new once you land one.She backs this up with two hiring manager perspectives. Patrick Neeman, Director of UX and AI Experiences at Workday, told her he prefers presentations because that's the format his own team works in day to day. Steph McDonald, a lead recruiter at HubSpot focused on hiring UX designers, said presentations are completely fine as long as the craft level is polished. Sarah also shares Marcus's story, who got hired as a Lead Product Designer at NAVA after building his portfolio as a presentation instead of a website.If you've been stuck for months trying to wrangle a website builder instead of actually working on your portfolio content, this episode is a direct permission slip to stop, and a breakdown of exactly what to do instead.Topics Discussed✅ Why a portfolio website can actually hurt your first impression with recruiters and hiring managers instead of helping it✅ The alternative Sarah recommends instead of a website, and why it takes weeks instead of months to finish✅ A full breakdown of time, cost, customization, and interview readiness for a website versus a presentation✅ What Patrick Neeman, Director of UX and AI Experiences at Workday, said he actually prefers to see in a portfolio✅ What Steph McDonald, a lead recruiter at HubSpot, said about presentation portfolios and craft level✅ How Marcus got hired as a Lead Product Designer at NAVA using a portfolio presentation instead of a website✅ Why "link to portfolio" on a job application doesn't actually mean your portfolio has to be a website✅ The exact question to ask anyone who insists you need a portfolio website, and why most people can't answer itLinks & Resources

Scott Martin addresses reports that private equity firm Silver Lake seeks to acquire Workday (WDAY), a headline that gave the stock its best day in ten years. He believes the alleged $43 billion deal would be a steal for Silver Lake, as he explains why "the business is not going anywhere." Scott dives further into Workday and the software trade, naming Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) as winners and Fair Issac Corp. (FICO) as a lower in the coming years. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Perez Hilton had a public breakdown on TikTok this week, and people are asking what actually happened. Chalene Johnson breaks it down with trigger warnings, including how it connects to his defamation fight with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and his brush with death from sepsis this past March. Chalene also digs into why qualified applicants, including former Elle editor Stacy Deguide, who deleted 15 years off her resume just to get a callback, are vanishing into what recruiters call an AI hiring black hole. A Stanford study found that roughly one in five companies now let algorithms reject candidates before a human ever sees a resume, and Chalene walks through how hiring software like Workday's may be filtering out midlife workers, new grads, and everyone in between. Rounding out the episode is this week's crackdown on the black market peptide trade. An Indiana company called Paradigm Peptides was sentenced after selling to 54,000 customers in 80 countries, a Michigan dealer got 20 years for relabeling semaglutide as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Retatrutide, and a licensed doctor running a Utah clinic called True Health was caught repackaging BPC-157, TB-500, and other peptides under fake labels for more than 200 patients. Topics discussed: Perez Hilton, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Justin Baldoni, TikTok, Ariana Grande, Stacy Deguide, Elle, Stanford University, Workday, Paradigm Peptides, True Health, Justin Watkins, Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide, Retatrutide, BPC-157, TB-500, GLP-1, sepsis, ageism.
