Welcome to a special openSAP Invites Thought Leaders episode, AI Assistance in Healthcare. On September 17, 2020, we had the pleasure to speak with two extraordinary thought leaders, Igor Jablokov and F. Scott Moody and we’re thrilled to be able to share this fascinating conversation with you here today. Igor and Scott are united through their vision, ingenuity, and passion for groundbreaking technology that’s refreshingly simple for us to use. Their approach to augmented intelligence is all about enhancing our human experience.

The firm’s inventions then served as the nucleus for follow on products such as Alexa, Echo, and Fire TV. As a Program Director at IBM, Igor led the team that designed the precursor to Watson and developed the world’s first multimodal Web browser.

Igor was awarded Eisenhower and Truman National Security fellowships to explore and expand the role of entrepreneurship and venture capital in addressing geopolitical concerns. As an innovator in human language technologies, he believes in fostering career and educational opportunities for others entering STEM fields. As such, he serves as a mentor in the TechStars’ Alexa Accelerator, was a Blackstone NC Entrepreneur-In-Residence (EIR), and founded a chapter of the Global Shapers, a program of the World Economic Forum.

Welcome to a special Thought Leaders episode with Prof. Dr. Laura Marie Edinger-Schons and Manuel Kreitmeir, in which we discuss and further explore the topic of New Work and Purpose, which was the theme of their recent openSAP course.  

I’m your host Elisabeth Riemann and I’m thrilled to welcome Laura and Manuel back to openSAP. Their MOOC joins a series of openSAP courses that have been produced jointly with academic partners, aiming at a balanced combination of academic theory and business practice. Several stakeholders ranging from politicians over startup founders to the corporate sector contributed to this course to complement theoretical inputs from Laura and Manuel regarding several aspects of new work, e.g. the digitalization of labor markets or corporate democracy, and practical mindfulness exercises to reflect on a personal level. The overall objective of the course is to provide though-provoking impulses and thereby create awareness for the topic of new work. 

When course production started at the end of 2019, our working environments and routines were shifting due to digitalization and we were asking ourselves “What does work mean to us?” “How do we want to work in the future?”, and “What is the purpose of business?” Nobody could have foreseen the dramatic and accelerated changes brought about through the COVID-19 pandemic, so we invite you to join in a timely discussion with Laura and Manuel as we all begin to reflect, evaluate, and re-consider our future of work. 

We’d love to hear your views and experiences so please share your feedback in the comments below.

Welcome to a special Thought Leaders episode with Martina Peskoller-Fuchs in which we learn how to cultivate and nourish a positive mindset for self-innovation.

I’m your host Elisabeth Riemann and today we learn the importance of taking control of our choices and our reactions to live a healthier, happier, and more meaningful life. While we can’t always be in control, we are free to choose how we respond. Martina says we need look no further than the humble bumble bee to be reminded that the seemingly impossible is possible (I love that).

Martina tells us how she walks the talk herself and explains how thought leaders, like neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, have inspired her own self-development. We talk of the search for meaning, hard choices, and soft skills. Martina shares her personal and professional experiences with us from her happy memories of the beauty and freedom of the mountains to the pain and suffering inflicted by conflict.

Join in the conversation and share your feedback in the comments below.

Ombudsperson at European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Germany

Martina Peskoller-Fuchs is from Austria and holds a Master of Law Degree from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. She worked in the legal and international environment for over a decade. After spending considerable time in war-torn regions and dealing with large-scale crimes while working for the International Criminal Court, she developed an interest in conflict prevention and alternative dispute resolution. She then trained and became a certified mediator in Austria and started working as the ombudsperson for the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).  Furthermore, she has training and extensive experience in coaching, NLP, communication, conflict resolution and meaning-centered psychotherapy by Viktor Frankl.
