Ep. 146: Genworth Financial Team

Friday, April 10, 2020 • Duration 25:08

The entertaining Genworth Financial team joins us from OPEX Week 2020 to tell us their enterprise’s transformation story—or journey, more accurately. Kathleen starts off by explaining her view of the company 15 years ago: “It was a very siloed organization. It was very much command and control; very hierarchical. We were focused very much on our processes, like manufacturing, because we came from GE.” Sometimes, as Martijn is quick to interject, they were focusing on the wrong processes. Their new goal was to focus on the customer and increase associate empathy. The leadership team achieved this with some creative physical props that mimic certain hardships their clients experience. However, leading by fear negatively impacts the service a customer receives as well, so Genworth devised a new workforce strategy. “If you really truly believe that the customer is the most important person--because he or she pays your salary--then the front line employees are the most important people, and therefore, your team leaders are the most important leaders. Most people leave their leader. They don't leave the organization.” The team details how they achieved this monumental task.

Ep. 145: Deena John, McDonalds

Wednesday, April 1, 2020 • Duration 21:22

McDonald’s senior director of innovation, Deena John, joins us to talk about digital transformation. While definitions vary, Deena describes digital transformation as “transforming through integration of technology” with the goal of generating maximum value for the customer. End-to-end disruption means looking into the future and creating a transformation road map that leads to a new operating model. Deena discusses the differences and similarities between agile and lean, and the iterative process that makes scaling sustainable. Deena frames her key points with specific examples. Next, she asks and answers the question, “In an innovation culture what’s the importance of failing fast?” Ultimately, this insightful conversation with Deena focuses on the future of the enterprise and what needs to happen now to ensure corporations can keep up with the ever-changing landscape that technology brings to business.

Ep. 136: Blockchain Standards/Blockchain Island

Friday, January 31, 2020 • Duration 22:17

Malta, a small European island, is quickly becoming a blockchain hub, and thus, accurately nicknamed “Blockchain Island.” This panel discussion delves into blockchain developments, standards, and laws. Malta’s progressive, global view of blockchain implications has allowed Blockchain Island to progress in a healthy, robust, safe way, complete with governance and legislation. The panel shares the infrastructure that has led to its success in the hope that others will implement a similar solution. With an end goal of international blockchain standards, a panelist sums up this discussion nicely: “We anticipated the need to regulate blockchain technologies, and that was while everyone else was focusing on the cryptocurrency aspect.” “The ISO standard is starting. So, the ISO standard is anticipating other jurisdictions, and it's starting to look into what it means to regulate blockchain technologies or standardize blockchain technologies.”

Ep.46: Anthony Ryan, eir Ireland

Friday, May 11, 2018 • Duration 34:39

Anthony Ryan joins us to give us the state of affairs: "Our company is going through a planned transformation where all those systems that are being re-keyed are going to be amalgamated and there's a new sort of N10 strategy and a lot of companies are going through these big transformations, but it's 18 months away, it's 20 months away, it's two years away. In the meantime, there's armies of people re-keying data, making mistakes every day, and just doing what I typically called the grunt work to keep the business going. So they're prime candidates for RPA because you spin a robot up in the devil's always in the details, but on average we're talking six to eight weeks."

Ep.45: Martin Ruane, Engie

Friday, May 4, 2018 • Duration 32:18

On succeeding and failing quickly, Martin Ruane, "I think it's all the intelligence and experience that you gather over time, often by sometimes making the wrong direction and making some mistakes, learning from them and doing things differently. Or sometimes doing the right thing, and actually it's been reinforced by the results that you get. I think it's a range of things but it's all that really. I think if you think about collateral, it could be our training collateral that we've got so we're self-sufficient in terms of what we do. It can be all our standard operating procedures that actually give instructions of how we do stuff. But it's more than that, it's everything, it's the experience, it's everything. It's all-encompassing."

Ep.44: Camilla Kwong, Close Brothers

Friday, April 27, 2018 • Duration 05:22

Camilla Kwong joins us and discusses her thoughts on technology, "Sometimes, when they talk about technology, even I feel a little bit behind nowadays. When I play on my iPhone and stuff, they'll show me new tricks and new apps and they're just so innovative nowadays. We love graduates, we love young people, we love fresh thinking and with a strong IT background, it also makes it work really well because they can actually understand a lot of the technology side of robotics."

Ep.43: Richard Frost, Yorkshire Building Society

Friday, April 20, 2018 • Duration 29:10

Richard Frost joins us and shares what he’s looking for in automation. "I’m looking for three things, really. We've got to be able to afford the technology, so it could be the best in the world, but if we can't afford it ultimately ... So a lot of vendors come in cheap and then start ramping up. So we got down to some really hard negotiations on that one. Secondly, are they a match for us, are they ten times our size and then they will just walk all over us? When we want to start working with them, will they send in the B team once the sale has been made? So we found that Colfax are large, they're larger than us, but we've worked with them on other technologies for a few years now and we've had a fairly good relationship with them so felt that they would be a good match for us as a smaller bank in the U.K. And then finally, the functionality. They have the robotic process automation, they've got the BPM technology as well and some of the stuff around the side in terms of scanning, which is where they came from, working with paper electronically and electronic signature. They've got that as well. So it kind of made sense as a good fit for us."

Ep.42: Tyrone Grandison, Eisenhower Fellow

Friday, April 13, 2018 • Duration 43:27

Tyrone Grandison joins us and shares that you need to focus on the customer and that your business is an IT business. First, "You need to be focused acutely on your customer, your client. So, I run the technology department, so my customer is everyone that is at IHME, and the 3,000 collaborators that depend upon us, right? Plus everyone that actually uses our results, etc, etc, etc. My thing is, how do I actually make them efficient, make them happy, and make sure that whatever I do fits within their workflow? Creating a separate entity to actually do that." And second, "IT is a business driver, IT should be at the table when you actually make decisions. All decisions should be about what the core mission is, which is completely ... Well, not completely different, but a different way of thinking about it. But, if you don't believe that IT is going to actually help you be more efficient, is going to support your task, is going to drive you to actually more profit, more growth, more impact."

Ep.41: Yuval Dvir, Google

Friday, April 6, 2018 • Duration 34:47

From Google, Yuval Dvir joins us and notes that beyond the scope of his job, he's interested in things that are happening out there. He’s interested in discussing how executives are implementing AI solutions. He’s also interested in learning about the challenges of the different industries and the segments where he does see similarities: "On the one hand, everyone is facing, in a way, the same thing, which is how we deal with the avalanche of technology. On the other hand, there's the nuances and the slight differences actually where everything matters. Taking an off-the-shelf product that works beautifully in one company and trying to implement it in another company won't work. You need to be very, very aware of those subtle differences in the specific DNA of each organization."

Ep.40: Richie Daigle, Coca-Cola Refreshments

Friday, March 30, 2018 • Duration 26:26

From Coca Cola Refreshments Richie Dangle joins us and shares how the organizations business transformation has led to the opportunity for intelligent automation. He notes that “you need the process subject matter experts to help you define the processes, help you test the processes once they've been developed. This re-franchising effort has really consumed a lot of that critical resource.” Understanding their mainframe application Richie and his team had to take into account some of what the target systems were automating and which software vendors could accommodate those target systems and that were good at automation. Moving forward the team wanted to maintain tight control over the development standards, and the delivery methodology. "We wanted to get that done right, stood upright to begin with before we started to federate."
