The Secret To Business Success Tomorrow? Accelerating Data Flow Today
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Jen Kirk serves as the Chief of Staff of Revalize , a leading software provider building the future of manufacturing technology. As humans, we crave connection. When we are isolated or when our social bonds are threatened, we suffer. We instinctively know we are in trouble in relationships when we aren’t “talking” to each other. Similarly, in a world where everything is enabled by information, disconnected data is a death knell to any business or organization. Recognizing all the digital signals and making sense of them gives leaders the advantage of anticipating their biggest challenges and responding to them in real time. However, to make the most of this data, businesses must eliminate the noise, identify the most important pieces and deliver that information to the people who will act on it to make a difference.

How CEOs Can Bring Out Their Human Side In A Hybrid World
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Group Chief Executive at Kin + Carta Europe , delivering end-to-end digital services for the world’s leading businesses. What are CEOs for? For me, our main role is to feed, drive and energize a team. This is often best done in person and in small doses, although it can be almost as effective remotely. It’s a question of how you can be ‘with the people’ when and wherever they need you. CEOs are experienced hybrid workers. In most organizations, whether they're global or have a few offices in one country, the CEO cannot be in the same place as their entire team at the same time. In many ways, our working lives haven’t necessarily changed that much post-pandemic. At a time when teams are often split between home and office, we need to make the most of every interaction we have with our colleagues. This has meant dialing up the need to be more considerate and open to listening—whatever the conversation, … [Read more...] about How CEOs Can Bring Out Their Human Side In A Hybrid World
Skipping Pilot Purgatory For TinyML And IoT Solutions
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Vitaly Kleban is the CTO at Everynet | Tech due diligence for VC | TinyML Contributor | LoRaWAN Contributor | ISO Blockchain Contributor. Pilot projects are crucial for assessing the performance of IoT solutions—yet many of them are stuck in pilot purgatory. One of the reasons for that is that many project teams start thinking about the pilot evaluation criteria once the project is underway already, or even when the project has been completed. Skipping The Pilot Purgatory One way to avoid pilot purgatory is to move your team's attention from project planning to project rollout by using binding “try-and-buy” contracts. Within the framework of such contracts, the customer undertakes to roll out the solution in question right after the success criteria of the pilot project have been achieved. In order to successfully apply such a framework, it is necessary to provide reliable ways for designing and … [Read more...] about Skipping Pilot Purgatory For TinyML And IoT Solutions

Corporate Mental Health Programs: The Future Of Work And Well-Being
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin CEO at Embed . Passionate for business, tech development & women empowerment. Mental health is now prevalently on the radar for most organizations—and this was not the case some years ago. The American Psychological Association’s 2022 survey found that 71% of workers believe that employers are now more concerned about their mental health than in the past. I often wonder if this is one of the silver linings of Covid, in addition to having the opportunity to work from home, which also raised new issues relating to mental health and the balance between work and home. According to a brief by the World Health Organization, anxiety and depression’s global prevalence increased by 25% in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. The lines were always blurred for us in senior roles in organizations, where gaining that ideal balance between work and home life is a race most are not winning.

Fossil Fuel Subsidies And Impact Greenwashing Are Stalling The Energy Transition
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Since 1800, worldwide consumption of fossil fuels has increased 1,300-fold . Access to this cheap energy has lifted people out of poverty and catalyzed economic growth, wealth creation and healthier living environments . So, the fossil fuel industry must be remarkably profitable, right? After all, if renewables like solar and wind were competitive in a free market, would we not have switched over by now? Wouldn’t the top of the Forbes Global 2000 be stacked with clean energy companies instead of oil and gas giants? It sounds reasonable that market forces make fossil fuels our energy source of choice. The reality is quite different, however. Oil and gas companies are better at procuring government subsidies than generating profits. That has led investors to overestimate the fossil fuel industry while leaving clean energy innovations underfunded. It seems like we give companies important to the energy transition “just … [Read more...] about Fossil Fuel Subsidies And Impact Greenwashing Are Stalling The Energy Transition
