The Internet of Things, a term once applied to almost any “smart” gadget connected to the Internet, is becoming more useful, more complex, and more of a security risk as the value of data continues to grow and more people depend on IoT technology. In the decades since the concept was first introduced, IoT devices have become so ubiquitous that applications cover practically every consumer, commercial, and industrial segment. The growing list of sectors using the IoT includes manufacturing, automotive and transportation, as well as healthcare, agriculture, supply chain, and logistics. Smart homes/buildings, entire smart cities, and energy and power grids are relying on the IoT. And that is causing some problems. Case in point: Early Christmas morning in 2022, thieves broke into Washington’s Puget Sound Energy and stole equipment that caused 7,000 customers to lose power. A similar crime occurred just a few miles away that month. Other attacks occurred in Oregon, Washington, and ...

A hot topic during the pandemic, there is now a large body of resources and literature on resilience. However, most discussions on resilience focus on individuals. While building individual resilience is essential, resilient individuals don’t necessarily guarantee a resilient team or organization. How can we do it better? What is Resilience? The word is derived from the Latin resiliere, resilience means to “bounce back.” According to the APA, resilience is “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.” Among the many tools used to measure resilience is the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, a 10- to 25-item scale that measures, among other things, the ability to adapt to change, cope with stress, stay focused, not get discouraged, and manage unpleasant feelings, such as anger, pain, and sadness. On the ground, howeve...

A few years ago, I was listening to one of my favourite podcasts, Recode/ Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher, a reportre-preneur who has been covering Silicon Valley’s tech and startup scene since the early 90’s. As she interviewed whatever founder, tech mogul, or politico she had on that day she made an almost offhand comment, “every job that can be digitized, will be digitized… it’s only a matter of time for the economics to work”. Wow! That was a game-changer that made infinite sense to me.  I found myself coming back to this notion many times in the days that followed, and wondering (probably more for the sake of my own job security than anything else): what jobs, then, will be left for the humans?  In 2018, the Royal Bank of Canada put out a white paper called Humans Wanted. The report studied what impacts technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics were expected to have on the Canadian labour force. In it, experts predicted that “by 2028 ...

Nicky Garcea, Co-founder and Chief Customer Officer of Cappfinity. getty Before the pandemic, it was business as usual: Everyone was tucked into their cubicles, being as productive as possible, and perhaps waiting for the next great opportunity to move ahead. Covid-19 changed that, possibly forever. Now companies need to rethink the kinds of talent they want or need to attract, and define talent slightly differently than they were accustomed to doing. Even here at Cappfinity, we’re asking that candidates describe their strengths, soft or durable skills in greater detail, rather than focus on a history of their past experience. What does this changing hiring landscape look like?  In the customer service arena, soft skills might include traits like empathy, patience and delivering stellar advice. If those skills were developed in a restaurant setting, but the candidate is applying to work in a call center, in the past they may have been considered a poor candidate. Now...
