Listen "The Hour of (data) Power"
Episode Synopsis
Ready for your Hour of (Data) Power with some Radioactive and Electric Feel thrown in? Ok, so hang tight, get your coffee or lemonade (depending on how your summer looks like!), as we bring you a double whammy from your newest Data-powered Innovation Jam to celebrate the anniversary launch of the 10th edition of the Data Powered Innovation Review. This jam packs in the "power" of music, as always. But this time drawing connections to what “power” really means - from John Lennon's "Power to the People" to Robert Palmer banding up with Duran Duran’s John Taylor (bass) and Andy Taylor (guitar) for Power Station and heavy metal crews like Power Trip. This eclectic musical journey serves as a metaphor for the unexpected and powerful combinations that arise when diverse elements mix, a theme that underpins the episode's core discussions. Your hosts Ron Tolido and Robert Engels drum to the beats of two special pieces from the latest Data Powered Innovation Review 10: "The Serendipity Engine" and "Nature Engineered" with Neerav Vyas, VP Customer First, Insights and Data, Capgemini discovering rock music in a video store by accident and Franziska Wolf, Head of Quantum Chemistry for Capgemini Engineering playing the trombone in a band. While Neerav explains the "post-personalization world" where the goal is to achieve serendipity at scale – moving beyond mere recommendations based on known desires to surprising customers with things they didn't even know they wanted, Franziska talks of metallo-enzymes and how AI and quantum computing combined can help us understand nature better and create full stack simulation environment for biology. The episode sets the stage for a deep dive into how AI and data are enabling unexpected discoveries and innovations, much like the serendipitous musical journeys shared by the hosts and guests. So do tune in and enjoy!Timestamps:00:00 - 02:29 – Ron takes a "Power" trip flexing the 10th edition of the Data-powered Innovation Review02:29 - 06:25 – Ron and Dr. Bob explores their individual take on "Power" Through Music06:25 - 07:44 – Introduction to the Data-powered Innovation Review and two of its authors from Edition 1010:41 - 25:37 – Neerav takes us back to a serendipitous musical journey in 1995 and subsequent revelations25:58 - 41:58 - Franziska Wolf dives into "Nature Engineered" with Quantum and AI42:58 - Weiwei busts her last myth before the summer break.Connect with our guests Neerav Vyas and Franziska Wolff and our hosts Ron Tolido, Robert Engels, and Weiwei Feng on LinkedIn.
