Adopting AI Culture with Paul Colmer – A summary
How do you see emerging tech like AI and automation in the corporate space, going to change how we view our work and relationships in the future?
According to Paul, the goal is to improve the way we do things, especially in Customer Experience. Right now, a lot of time goes into meetings, and it seems a lot of money is being wasted as well. Automation provides a mechanism to streamline these processes- it’s already seen in this pandemic especially in regards to collaboration. Automation allows us to offload these manual tasks. It allows repetitive tasks to become automated! Businesses are also running efficiently because of how user-friendly these tools have become for non-technical people.
What role do you think technology plays in the time of COVID? And what impact do you think it will have on businesses once this is all over?
With everyone working from home, the big question that Paul finds companies asking is “How do we interact with customers?”
It forces us to think about how collaboration will work in the future. How will we interact with customers remotely? How would collaboration work with partners? A lot of people have had experience with managing virtual teams. However the majority of people have never had to deal with this sort of situation. While they have the tools, they are not prepared mentally. So what’s happening now is that companies are trying to figure out how to use AI to automate the human side of things- Like using AI to schedule meetings, for example.
This situation is bad, but it’s also one that was needed- we needed this digital disruption. Necessity is the mother of invention and this situation has given us a reason to adopt the technology.
Which technology do you think plays a major role in the business transformation cycle for an organisation? And what are the factors supporting it?
Right now, there’s a large number of different technologies that are playing a major role in business. Paul found Cloud technology and Cybersecurity to play the biggest roles in the organization. Incorporating Cloud technology into your organization frees your from traditional funding models, and building cybersecurity keeps the data on your cloud server secure.
The most important thing that Paul mentions is how we should learn how to build and understand data, and the cultural impacts of such. Paul urges companies to recognize that things are going to run differently when we incorporate new technologies into the mix. Whether your company is at the level of just starting to incorporate Office 365, or using data systems like these for several years now- we need to understand that things will run differently, and this is something that must be communicated across the board.
The rest of the interview discusses the trends of employing Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Protection, and the resistance to adopting Cloud technologies. If you’d like to check out the interview, watch the video below or listen to the podcast.

The Last Countdown
Diane sat in her vehicle, the downpour pattering on the windshield like a fretful metronome. The ticking of the dashboard clock synchronized with her pulse, each passing second a horrible update that she was using up all available time. White noise filled the vehicle, including the engine's constant hum, the distant drone of traffic, and the gentle hiss of rain hitting the windows. But Diane was concentrating on the courthouse across the street, and as she gripped the wheel, her knuckles turned white. She had not seen her son Ben in two years. He'd been just 18 when a terrible choice with some unacceptable group landed him in prison, and presently he was at long last being delivered. During the trial, Diane had been present and had to put up with lawyers who had told her that he would "bounce back." However, the truth was more extreme. She was aware that his time in prison had taken its toll and that he had lost some of his spirit with each passing day. Presently, with just 53 seconds to go, Diane's heart hustled quicker. She looked at the town hall, attempting to look through the downpour streaked windshield, her breath hazing up the glass. Numerous stories of hopelessness and despair had been told in the old building, and the clock tower there seemed to make fun of her anxiety. In an effort to get a clear view of the steps from which Ben would soon emerge, she wiped away the fog. Her surroundings continued to move at an indifferent pace. She heard a canine yapping somewhere out there, saw walkers clustering under umbrellas, and vehicles passing by without a subsequent look. However, for Diane, the universe had condensed to a single time and place. Everything was contingent on what would transpire in the following few seconds. Her throat tightened when the doors to the courthouse opened. The downpour and her own tears blurred the figures as they began to emerge. She immediately cleaned her eyes, looking for the recognizable step and hair wave that had a place with her child. Milliseconds felt like hours, and it seemed like time was expanding and contracting simultaneously. She paused her breathing, filtering each face for a brief look at Ben's elements, trusting that jail hadn't transformed him to an extreme. Then, he was right there. Unsure of his surroundings, a young man cautiously stepped outside while glancing around in the rain. The beat of Diane's heart stopped. He had a sharper edge to him than she remembered, and he was thinner than she remembered. However, it was her Ben—him. She pushed open the vehicle entryway, not thinking often about the ticking clock or the motor actually running. She barely noticed that the rain had soaked her hair and clothes. "Ben!" she called out, her voice breaking with urgency. Her words made it to him, but the wind swept them away. Their gazes met as his head jerked upward. Time stood still as he was recognized and trusted in his gaze. Maybe the whole world had contracted to the space between them, as though all the other things failed to issue. Ben moved cautiously forward, followed by another. Each step was loaded up with vulnerability, like he was trying the ground underneath him. As she watched him approach, Diane felt her heart pound. "Mom?" he said, his voice speculative and loaded up with doubt. She didn't pause. She surged toward him, her arms outstretched, prepared to close the hole between them. At the point when they at last impacted, maybe the most recent two years dissolved away. Diane clutched her child as though she could never give up, the tears and downpour blending on her cheeks. She reenacted each and every time they had been apart, including every moment of worry and fear, every night without sleep, and every prayer for his safety. Time restarted in that embrace, but now each tick of the clock was a new moment. The aloof world went on around them, however it at this point not made a difference. Despite everything, Diane and Ben had reunited, and their bond was stronger than ever. The downpour washed away the long stretches of torment and uncertainty, leaving them with a new beginning. The last commencement had finished, and their fresh start had quite recently started.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
