Join me, Dhosjan Greenaway-Dalini, Fractional CFO and Startup Advisor at Bia Innovate, as I share a special podcast episode in celebration of International Woman’s Day.  I share insights "For Our Daughters."

In this episode of The Dhosjan Show Podcast celebrating International Women’s Day, I’m sharing a deeply personal talk I recently delivered to a group of school-aged girls and their parents. Inspired by my eight-year-old daughter, we dive into the mindset of "I can" and the vital importance of "The Tribe", the support system of motivators and mentors who instill belief in our potential.

I reflect on the incredible women who shaped my journey: family, friends, colleagues, mentors and share my IWD Challenge for every listener. This International Women's Day, let's not just focus on awareness, let's take real steps to make an impact.

Join me, Dhosjan Greenaway-Dalini of Bia Innovate, as I interview our esteemed guest Brian Cookson, President and Managing Director at RDP Associates, a consultancy supporting businesses to access R&D tax credits.  In this episode, we explain what the UK R&D tax relief scheme is and provide an understanding of what truly qualifies as R&D. We share common pitfalls that companies should avoid, explore where AI fits into R&D claims (and where it doesn’t), and discuss how the scheme is evolving. We also highlight why R&D tax relief remains a crucial tool for driving innovation and supporting the UK’s startup and tech ecosystem.

RDP Associates is an international company, processing R&D tax claims in five countries, including Canada. As per RDP’s review, the BEIS guidelines have been adopted verbatim from the Canadian programme, which has been in existence since the early 80s. As RDP has seen, similar patterns are now emerging with HMRC, allowing them to support their clients with a forward-thinking compliance strategy. For example, changes to the UK application process that RDP discussed in a 2020 article are only now being implemented in the UK.

Based on RDP's own statistics and those of HMRC, it would appear that currently, HMRC is carrying out compliance checks on approximately 1 out of every 6 claims, whereas before 2021, HMRC was reviewing somewhere between 2%-3% of all R&D tax credit claims.

Join me, Dhosjan Greenaway-Dalini of Bia Innovate, as we continue our theme of AI real-world use cases. In this episode, we explore a somewhat divisive topic, "What AI won’t Teach our Children".  You may have heard that AI is the future of education. Some even go as far as to say teachers will become more like babysitters. Let’s challenge that.  In this solo episode, I talk about my view on what a teacher is. I also share a grounded perspective as both a parent and someone working in Tech, on some of the benefits that AI can genuinely offer in education, but also what it will never be able to teach our children.
