Tomorrow's Tech Today

Pace, Space, Place! In this episode, the nature of change and how to harness it takes centre stage as I am joined by the brilliant Dave Silke, Chief Marketing Officer at Mitel. With many organizations having undergone fundamental changes to their ways of working ambidexterity has now become a watchword for moving forward with confidence, productivity and sustainable scalability too. To dive into the how of actualising this vital agility, we explore:

What’s Changed, What’s Coming Next?

Insights from the brand new 451 Research Series on Hybrid Working

How to create a Future Proof Business: Shaping a Digital Distributed Workforce

And much more! Bringing to life the evolving business communications and collaboration landscape and potential roadmap ahead, taking into account the fusion of factors that can enable shared value across technology, operations, values, culture and skills. Are you prepared to actualise the changes needed for true ambidexterity to change? Join us to find out more!

This episode is Inclusion and Tech For Good personified focussing on ZDay2021 and the wider opportunities afforded by the IBM Z Global Student Hub. This is very much a 24/7 platform for democratisation and powering tech for social impact at scale, especially for education and holistic skills accessibility from STEM to STEAM.

And to do this I am in the best of company! Joined by 17 year old changemaker Lella Violet Halloum, the youngest 2021 IBM Champion for her efforts to break down stereotypes surrounding the tech industry and recently recognised with the Diana Award, plus an IBM Z Ambassador, Champion, and Student Senator.

And I am also joined by Dr. Melissa Sassi who is championing change as Chief Penguin, Entrepreneur & Student Experience lead at IBM and Global Head of the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator. This work brings together a focus on empowering and inspiring students with access to tech skills, and empowering and inspiring early-stage fintech, healthtech, and insurtech founders to build and scale through technology and business acceleration.

There are many pathways into technology careers and in this episode we go on a journey from San Paolo, Brazil to Encinitas, California with Alessandra Ginante Yockelson PhD, Senior Vice President, Chief Talent Officer and Global HR Leader at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In our discussion we cover a range of critical conversation points including the connection between sustainability and diversity, and between learning and diversity of experience, education as the library to transform lives, changing the narrative on what a tech career really 'looks like', reducing the arbitrary divide between tech and non tech jobs, the transition from STEM to STEAM learning, and creating a bigger pool of diverse talent - and retaining it.

We also place a spotlight on real world Tech For Good projects and programmes like 'Ready Now' by HPE supporting internal talent development readiness for board level leadership, alongside team level diversity and fantastic success at enhancing the retention of women in tech roles, which is absolutely vital, especially with the disproportional impact of the pandemic. And finally, look out for the 3 C's of skills critical to personal agility to change!

This episode is Tech For Good personified and was such a pleasure to discuss with Mo Haghighi who does superb work as a Developer Advocate across the world and also leads the IBM Hybrid Cloud Build team in Europe. Our focus area is Call for Code, the largest tech for good global initiative of its kind and which is open for submissions until July 31st 2021. More details here:

https://bit.ly/CallforCode21

This year's focus is on supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, notably climate change, clean water and sanitation, zero hunger and responsible production and green consumption. A wonderful and inclusive opportunity to make a difference, and one that is open not just to developers, but to problem solvers, curious minds and subject matter experts across the world. We discuss all the details of taking part and the support available, plus showcase some of the incredible projects already making impact today, conceived through earlier iterations. We could not agree more that the time is now to support long-lasting change across the world, empowered by people and empowered by code.

In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Thomas Harrer, CTO Server and Storage, at IBM Technology. We discuss how to move beyond the four V's of data that are Volume, Veracity, Velocity and Variety - to that vital fifth V of Value through people, technology and the power of partnership, notably IBM's long standing trusted relationship with SAP and BW/4HANA in particular.

Drawing on dynamic and diverse examples from DNA to Smart Cities to Autonomous Vehicles, to the demands of everyday organisational life, we explore how to navigate data paradoxes and optimise the spectrum of data volume to data value. This includes a rich discussion on empowering self service access and modelling, analytics, governance, automation and integration. Developing key trends and their optimisation are also brought to the fore including Open Source, Data Sovereignty and Cloud Computing, alongside organisational needs that go beyond the technology, notably continual investment in culture, leadership and skills.

In this episode we meet the inspiring Quantum Computing Innovator, Mathematician and Artist - more on that in our discussion! - Carmen Recio Valcarce from IBM Research. A pioneering leader in the Quantum space, Carmen shares experiences on what has made a difference in her career to date, from mentorship, relatable role models and community, to ‘having your plan’ and cultivating holistic skills, from creativity to empathy. The time is now to rename so called ‘soft skills’!

We also explore ethical tech development, scaling Tech For Good and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the importance of STEAM, and what the future of work might look like - and regardless of this, how to develop the skills toolset and mindset to be best prepared. Look out for a new Quantum ambassador in the making too, 15 year old Tanya. Brilliant!
