We are delighted to share with you the recording of our recent webinar, Professional Services in the Age of AI: Regulation, Strategy, and Real-World Impact. In this discussion, Anthony Davis (FisherBroyles), Devika Kewalramani, (FisherBroyles), Dr Robert Millard (Cambridge Strategy Group), David Shufflebotham (PepUp Consulting) and Nick Leale (CM Murray LLP) join chair Corinne Staves (CM Murray LLP) to explore the impact of technology on professional services firms, with a particular focus on regulation. Topics covered include: - How is technology reshaping professional services firms? From AI-powered research and disclosure tools to virtual client engagement, technology is now embedded in every aspect of firm strategy and operations. - What are the implications for structure, pricing, and regulation? AI is driving a shift away from traditional leverage models, elevating the role of technologists and challenging the billable hour. Value-based pricing is gaining ground and firms must rethink how they assess and compensate their partners. - What regulatory and ethical risks must firms manage? Competence, confidentiality, and supervision remain central. Firms must develop clear AI policies, invest in training and maintain strong oversight - particularly as regulatory scrutiny increases. - What practical steps should firms take now? Define your AI business case, benchmark tools, train your teams, and document compliance. The next generation of lawyers is already embracing AI - leaders must act now to stay ahead. This summary was drafted using Microsoft Copilot, as part of our ongoing exploration of how AI can support and enhance professional services.

In this episode of Sci on the Fly, host Connie Bolte, current Executive Branch Fellow at the National Science Foundation, speaks with Dr. Angela Bednarek, who leads Pew Charitable Trusts' scientific advancement portfolio. Dr. Bednarek's AAAS STPF Fellowship at the U.S. Department of State revealed how researchers often failed to provide timely, relevant information to policymakers grappling with complex environmental issues. This experience led her to establish the Impact Funders Forum, a global collaborative that brings together funders across diverse fields to develop more effective strategies for supporting policy-relevant research. The conversation explores "engaged research," a collaborative approach that involves stakeholders throughout the entire research process, from co-developing research questions to ongoing implementation. Dr. Bednarek emphasizes a fundamental shift in researcher mindset: moving from "how can my research help" to "what challenges do decision-makers face, and how can I design research to address those specific needs." While these approaches aren't entirely new, there is growing recognition of their necessity for tackling complex societal challenges in an increasingly interconnected world.

 "Let's Get To Work" by Dr. Bobby Allen, emphasizes that genuine faith requires active participation and tangible effort, not just passive belief or discussion. It argues that biblical figures consistently demonstrated their faith through action, such as Noah building the ark or Abraham journeying to an unknown land. The author asserts that God often works through individuals, urging readers to overcome comfort and inconvenience to fulfill their divine assignments, seeing their efforts as "Kingdom Business" that holds eternal significance. Ultimately, the text calls for a transition from simply assenting to faith to actively engaging in God's work with urgency and dedication, highlighting that such labor is never in vain.

Our guest in this episode is Dawid Naude, the visionary founder and CEO of Pathfinder, an AI accelerator dedicated to helping businesses boost employee productivity, drive breakthrough innovation, and cultivate a sustainable AI culture. Dawid's passion lies in leveraging AI to free us from mundane tasks and enhance our uniquely human capabilities.In our chat, Dawid shared how AI can truly liberate us from daily drudgery, making way for more meaningful work and deeper human connection. He also brilliantly explained that AI's real power isn't in simple prompts but in having a genuine conversation with it.Key points discussed include:* AI as a liberator: Dawid emphasizes how AI can free us from low-level tasks, allowing for greater focus on skilled work.* Conversational AI: The true value of AI lies in dynamic dialogue, not just one-off questions and answers.* Human connection amplified: AI enables us to be more human by removing tedious tasks and fostering deeper understanding.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Are robots coming for our jobs? Is technology making us less human? These are the kinds of questions that often swirl around the conversation. But what if we told you that AI isn't here to replace us, but to liberate us? What if it's the key to unlocking a future where we're more productive, more creative, and yes, even more connected?This was the incredibly inspiring message from our recent Innova.buzz guest, Dawid Naude, the founder and CEO of Pathfinder. Dawid isn't just building an AI accelerator; he's on a mission to reshape how businesses and individuals embrace this powerful technology, focusing intently on the human side of AI adoption and creating a sustainable AI culture. His vision is refreshingly optimistic: AI's true power lies in its ability to strip away the "drudgery" of our daily tasks, freeing us up to do the really important, human work.Beyond the Classroom: Revolutionizing Learning and Critical ThinkingThink about it: how much of your day is spent on low-level activities, tasks you mastered years ago, or even back in university? Dawid sees this as a profound opportunity. AI can shoulder that mundane burden, allowing us to flex our highly developed skills. But his excitement truly ignites when he talks about education. Imagine every student having a 24/7 mentor, a personalized teacher available at their own pace, in their own language. For those with learning difficulties or language barriers, this isn't just convenient; it's a game-changer, leveling the playing field and opening up a world of possibilities.Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: won't all this AI make us lazy thinkers? Won't it erode our critical thinking skills? It's a valid concern, one I've wrestled with myself. But Dawid offers a compelling counter-narrative. Perhaps for some, it will make it easier to copy and paste. But what about those in the middle, those who struggle to follow complex work? Could AI actually elevate their understanding, pushing them beyond simple rote learning? And for those who are already critical thinkers, AI becomes an "absolute weapon," allowing them to test concepts, explore new topics, and identify blind spots with unprecedented speed and depth. It's like having an instant sounding board, helping you see all the holes in an argument you might have missed.The Art of Conversation: Prompting Beyond the Basic Q&AOne of Dawid's most profound insights is that the true magic of AI isn't in a single, perfectly crafted prompt. Forget prompt engineering as a rigid, one-shot deal for most of us. Instead, Dawid champions the idea of AI as a conversation partner. It's not about asking a question and getting the answer; it's about engaging in a dialogue, a back-and-forth riffing session where you can tweak, question, and refine the AI's responses. This conversational approach unlocks a much deeper level of value.So, how do we master this art? It's simpler than you think. Dawid suggests treating AI like a friend you want to challenge. Instead of asking, "Is this a good idea?" try, "Can you find 10 things wrong with this?" or "Tell me all the reasons for and against." This subtle shift in your interaction can transform the AI from a validation machine into a genuine sparring partner, pushing your thinking and helping you explore ideas from all angles. It's about being aware of the AI's inherent tendency to validate and actively instructing it to push back, to play devil's advocate.Navigating the Ethical Maze: Bias and the Human ElementThe question of bias in AI is a significant one, and Dawid delves into this with admirable honesty. He explains that AI has to be biased in some way; it has to give an answer that isn't always "it depends." The underlying training data, combined with carefully constructed "system prompts," shapes the AI's personality and guardrails. It's not malice, but a reflection of the data it's trained on and the rules its creators have set.This understanding is crucial. While we can ask AI to cite its sources and dig deeper, the ultimate responsibility for critical evaluation remains ours. We're used to searching for answers on Google, where we get sources to find the answer. With AI, we're often given the answer directly. Dawid wisely points out that this could lead to us delegating our thinking to a "20-kilometer radius in California," where most of these AI companies reside. It's a tricky balance, but one we must navigate by maintaining our own human judgment.AI in Action: Real-World Business TransformationsDawid's journey with Pathfinder has shown him just how rapidly the landscape of AI has evolved. What required complex, expensive integrations just 18 months ago can now often be achieved with off-the-shelf tools and clever prompting. He recounted a fascinating example of a small real estate company that, after some basic AI training, created their own custom GPTs for tasks like real estate listings and tenant communication. They even produced AI video avatars of their CEO providing market updates in multiple languages!This anecdote really drives home Dawid's belief: the true power lies in giving every employee an "everyday AI assistant." It's not about replacing roles, but about making each person incredibly productive by tackling the thousands of unstructured, copy-paste, back-and-forth activities that fill most of our days. When people discover how these tools can save them time and effort, their eyes light up. It's a genuine human connection to the technology because it directly improves their daily work life.The "Coffee Culture" of Connection: Why Humans Still RuleOne of my favorite analogies from our conversation was Dawid's take on coffee culture. He highlighted how, particularly here in Melbourne, we're happy to queue up, pay five times as much, and sometimes even get a "worse" coffee from a barista, even when a perfectly good, cheap, and consistent alternative exists from a machine. Why? Because it's human. This perfectly illustrates his point that despite the incredible efficiency of AI, our innate desire for human interaction and connection remains strong.AI is poised to rid us of the drudgery, giving us back time and mental space. And what will we do with that newfound freedom? Dawid believes it will allow us to be more authentic and human in our interactions. When we're not bogged down by tedious tasks, we can truly engage, empathize, and connect on a deeper level. The more human you are, the more effectively you'll be able to leverage this technology.Your Personal AI Journey: Taking the LeapSo, what's the takeaway from all this? Dawid's message is clear: dive in! The best gateway drug, as he puts it, is something like ChatGPT. Don't be intimidated; it's not hard to become an expert. You just need to be shown what's possible, and then start playing. He encourages everyone to grab the free version and get started.His unique call to action is brilliant: "Have ChatGPT interview you, and then afterwards, ask it to recommend the top 10 ways of how you should use ChatGPT." It's a meta-approach that lets the tool itself guide your learning journey, tailoring its advice to your specific needs and interests. What a clever way to begin your own AI adventure!It's been a truly fabulous conversation with Dawid Naude, packed with incredible insights. His perspective on AI as a human enabler rather than a threat is truly inspiring. We're not just talking about the future; we're living it, and with AI as our ally, that future looks incredibly bright.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Dawid's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Innovative AI with Human connection – Dawid saw a client use AI to understand a challenging client's perspective more deeply, and his wife uses it to create fairy tales that help their kids navigate difficult situations.* Best AI integration example – Dawid integrates AI and human connection by simply showing people how to use it to save time, do things they couldn't before, and even have fun with their families.* Differentiate with Connection – Dawid recommends using AI to understand people and industries more deeply, allowing for richer conversations and more impactful solutions.ActionDefinitely grab ChatGPT, even the free version!

In this powerful episode of Bleeding Daylight, Reverend Dr. Alvin Sanders shares his transformative approach to urban ministry as President of World Impact. Drawing from personal experience with poverty and three decades in ministry, Sanders challenges traditional church models by advocating for a "neighbourhood-as-parish" approach where churches become institutional assets to their communities. He reveals how World Impact's "glocally urban" strategy equips untrained pastors in 19 countries through innovative programs like their "seminary in a backpack."   Sanders unpacks the true nature of poverty beyond finances and outlines practical strategies for churches to engage their communities authentically. From creating "third spaces" that combat loneliness to implementing Asset-Based Community Development models, he demonstrates how churches can move beyond paternalistic charity to foster genuine community flourishing. His stories of transformation—from Cincinnati neighbourhoods to closed countries experiencing revival—illustrate how trained urban leaders can catalyse lasting change when churches approach ministry with humility, genuine care, and a commitment to meeting people at their point of need.   WEBLINKS World Impact World Impact Facebook Alvin's LinkedIn

The MTU Innovation Challenge 2025 has once again demonstrated the transformative power of student-led innovation, as interdisciplinary teams from across the globe came together to tackle real-world challenges posed by local, regional, and international organisations. Over the course of the last eight weeks, 11 teams of students from across Munster Technological University's six campuses in Cork and Kerry collaborated with their peers from Ud'A University in Italy, Murang'a University of Technology in Kenya, the University of Skövde in Sweden, and the University of Crete in Greece. Together, they engaged in solving a diverse range of innovation challenges supported by expert mentoring and training in design thinking and stakeholder engagement. Each team worked closely with real-world organisations to develop creative, practical solutions to problems currently affecting those organisations. The teams were supported by a group of volunteer mentors from across MTU without whom the challenge would not be possible. This year's participating organisations come from a wide variety of sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, assistive technology, AI, and nonprofit services. Challenges ranged from implementing AI solutions for business process automation to designing accessible healthcare devices to improving sustainable farming tools and community engagement platforms. Students tackled projects including the development of an AI-powered supply chain tool for tech firm Aspen Grove, the design of a paediatric syringe driver lockbox for Cork University Hospital, and a reimagined neck support brace for Motor Neurone patients at Marymount Hospice. In the nonprofit and community space, students designed an interactive app for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind to engage users in a service dog's journey, contributed to a digital portal for clients at the Crann Centre, and explored improvements to solar-powered irrigation systems and data platforms with Kenyan start-up SowPrecise. Carole O'Leary, who spearheads this initiative at MTU, said: "These projects are not hypothetical scenarios, these are real issues facing organisations right now. What's remarkable is how our students rise to meet these complex challenges with such creativity, empathy, and professionalism. The benefits are two-fold: the organisations gain fresh perspectives and potential solutions, while students gain hands-on experience and the confidence to innovate in the real world." To mark their achievements, two standout teams were each awarded a €1,000 prize for their innovative and impactful solutions: Team Marymount 1 and Team SowPrecise 1. All students participating in the challenge received a Digital Badge in recognition of their engagement, collaboration, and contribution. From a stakeholder perspective, the benefits were evident. "The MTU Innovation Challenge has been such a highlight for me this year, and it is so exciting and rewarding to work with the students at MTU," said Orlaith Leo, Leo Senior Physiotherapist at Marymount Hospice. "To put my clinical head together with their creative minds has been so valuable, and they've come up with some brilliant ideas I could never have imagined." Gemma Leo, Business Support and Project Manager at the Crann Centre, shared similar praise: "The apps that we saw were absolutely beautiful - so a massive congratulations to the students. I can totally see that if we can get them built, our clients would use them." The 2025 challenge welcomed the most academically diverse group to date, with participation from both undergraduate and postgraduate students across a wide range of disciplines. These included programmes in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, Software Development, Computing, Creative Digital Media, Animation and Visual Effects, Business Information Systems, International Business, Marketing, Economics, Data Science and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, User Experience and Service Design, Electrical and Electronics...

This creates a powerful marginal effect, where even small individual efforts contribute to a larger, verifiable movement toward sustainability.Fixing the Trust Deficit in Sustainability with Web3: A major issue in ESG initiatives is the lack of trust. Blockchain solves this by ensuring transparency—bringing sustainability data onchain, making it accessible, verifiable, and resistant to greenwashing.Ignore the Noise - Stay True to Your Vision: Web3's fast-moving nature is both inspiring and overwhelming. Many founders get caught up chasing trends instead of sticking to their mission and making sure they have a solid product.

  Welcome to the latest episode of WAB Podcast Season 5! In this episode, we explored the world of Nature of Science. Joining us were two Grade 10 students, Claire and Kabir, along with their teacher, Chris Hayden. Together, they took us on a journey through this project-based science course that allows students to dive deep into their passions, nurture critical thinking, sharpen their skills, and foster a love for scientific inquiry that goes beyond the classroom.  Chris introduced that Nature of Science (NOS) allows students to choose and explore an area of science they're passionate about, and it covers foundational knowledge and key inquiry skills aligned with Middle Years Program (MYP) science objectives. He emphasized that learning science is not about memorizing facts, it should give students the tools they need to think like true scientists, including asking questions, solving problems, and making a real-world impact.   Grade 10 student Kabir is a humanities enthusiast, who took NOS as a chance to bridge his love for economics with science. His project focused on the economic impacts of air pollution, a topic that allowed him to analyze data and uncover how environmental factors influenced global economies. He expressed he never thought he could enjoy science this much. With his teacher's help, he was able to process a large amount of data that he had collected for the project, boosting his analytical skills and making him more prepared for the Diploma Programme (DP) Economics.   Claire from Grade 10 is very into biology, and she spent her time working on a project that combined her scientific passion with a desire to address societal issues. Inspired by conversations with some local women about the menstruation stigma in their daily lives, Claire designed an innovative project to detect gynecological diseases in a more convenient way. By using simulations, she explored how antibodies and antigens interact, aiming to create a diagnostic tool that could be integrated into sanitary products. Claire reflected this experience facilitates her DP studies and beyond, and more importantly, shows her how science can truly impact lives.  Want to hear more about how our Grade 10 students are using NOS to sharpen their scientific skills and make a real difference in the world?
