Working in the age of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, the ability to automate certain tasks and generate new ideas and solutions can greatly increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace. On the other hand, there is the potential for job displacement and the need for workers to adapt and learn new skills to stay relevant in the workforce.As AI continues to evolve, it will be important for companies and individuals to find a balance between leveraging its capabilities while also maintaining ethical and responsible use. This includes considerations such as data privacy, bias, and transparency in decision-making. In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Mike Bollinger, VP of Strategic Initiatives at Cornerstone, about:The meteoric rise of generative aiDeath of white-collar jobs?Solving problems by employing an AI-friendly culture

Effectively managing third-party risk has become crucial for companies.Not only is it key to helping protect a company's reputation, which is crucial for maintaining customer trust and loyalty, but many industries are subject to regulatory requirements that mandate compliance with specific standards and guidelines, and companies must ensure that their third-party vendors also comply with these regulations to avoid legal and financial penalties. Not only this, but poor third-party management can result in financial losses due to fraud and breaches, not to mention the delaying of core operations. In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Richard Stiennon talks to Paul Iagnocco, Head of Customer Enablement at TrustArc, about:Managing third-party riskIs privacy the biggest factor?Emerging trends and technologies

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face numerous challenges when it comes to cybersecurity. One of the most significant challenges is the lack of resources, including budget and personnel, to invest in robust cybersecurity measures. This often leaves SMEs vulnerable to cyber threats, such as phishing attacks, ransomware, and data breaches. Additionally, SMEs may not have the expertise to effectively implement and manage cybersecurity solutions, leaving them susceptible to cyber-attacks.This lack of attention to cybersecurity can lead to devastating consequences for SMEs, including financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Richard Stiennon speaks to Matthew Warner, CTO and Co-founder at Blumira, to discuss:Common cybersecurity threats that SMEs faceHow these threats differ from those faced by larger companiesImplementing effective cybersecurity measures

Data pipeline automation is revolutionizing the way organisations handle data. This new approach to data management is challenging the traditional modern data stack, which relied on a series of disparate tools to handle different aspects of data processing. With data pipeline automation, organizations can simplify their data stack, relying on a single tool to manage the entire process. This shift will allow businesses to focus on insights and decision-making, rather than spending time wrangling data. As a result, data pipeline automation will become the key component of the post-modern data stack.In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Christina Stathopoulos speaks to Sean Knapp, Founder and CEO at Ascend.io, and we’re here to talk about:Solving data stack challengesAutomation in data pipelinesWhat the ultimate solution will be

GRC (governance, risk management, and compliance) and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) are critical for companies to balance in today's business landscape. While GRC focuses on achieving objectives responsibly, mitigating risks, and meeting compliance requirements, ESG addresses a company's broader responsibilities to its stakeholders, including the environment, employees, and society as a whole.Balancing both can be challenging, but it is essential for companies to operate sustainably and responsibly. Companies that prioritise ESG practices often have better long-term financial performance, while those that prioritise GRC can avoid costly legal and reputational risks. Therefore, companies should look at integrating ESG and GRC to maximise efficiency and support the integrity of financial and non-financial reporting for sustainable growth. In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Richard Stiennon speaks to Grant Ostler and Mark Mellen, Industry Principals at Workiva, to discuss:How ESG has transformed in the last few yearsIntegration of ESG into GRC to improve risk managementAuditing ESG

Frictionless commerce is the ability to seamlessly find customers, establish trust, and transact and deliver products without any hiccups.However, enterprises face three significant problems in achieving frictionless commerce: getting the right data, managing tech debt, and ensuring data interoperability. And much like the old children's book "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" - each problem seems to lead to another.That's where Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) comes in. A cloud-based service that provides users with on-demand access to high-quality data, it can help organisations with these challenges by providing them with accurate and reliable data while reducing the burden of managing and maintaining it.In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Doug Laney speaks to Derek Corrick, General Manager of Data Management at Pivotree, to discuss:Frictionless commerce and how it can be acceleratedCommon challenges in data management Data-as-a-Service and how to get started

In traditional data architecture, data was always centralised in a data warehouse or a data lake and governed by a centralised team. However, with the rise of distributed systems, microservices, and agile methodologies, this approach has proven to be inadequate for managing data at scale. Data Mesh proposes a different approach, where data is treated as a product and owned by the teams that produce it. In other words, it's a way of thinking about data management that focuses on decentralisation and autonomy. But how can companies use this to their advantage?In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Christina Stathopoulos spoke to Paolo Platter, Co-Founder and CTO at Agile Lab, about: Successful data mesh strategiesBenefits vs monolithic data lakesCustomer success storiesAgile Lab works with an array of clients across the globe, creating business vertical solutions to address specific challenges and needs in their field of activity. To hear about their success stories and the ways in which they exceed their clients' expectations, skip to 19:40.

Location intelligence. Location intelligence is crucial for a company's data-driven decision-making process, providing insights into the relationship between location and business operations. It helps identify new market opportunities, optimize operations, improve customer experiences, mitigate risks, and provide a competitive advantage.By analyzing location-specific information, companies can make informed decisions that drive growth, reduce costs, and increase profitability.
