    Dr Karl Löfgren - Computer says no

    A discussion with Sarah Bickerton* about how we seem to focus on the commercial world led us to having a cracking chat with Dr Karl Löfgren who is Associate Professor at the Victoria University (of Wellington!) School of Government. We asked about the speed of change within government, the hurdles to government adopting new technology, and why it seems that many give the New Zealand government (small 'g') such a hard time. This was a conversation we, especially Mike, could've continued well into the small hours. - https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/sog/about/staff/karl-lofgren - https://nz.linkedin.com/in/karl-lofgren-5741a639 * Sarah was a guest on the podcast back in October 2018 https://accessgranted.nz/episodes/2018/10/4/sarah-bickerton-kindred-spirits ------------------------------------------------------ Behind the scenes of tech, media, and startups, hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others - https://accessgranted.nz/

    Shiffy Nayar - Leaving a legacy

    Shiffy Nayar is leaving a legacy and she’s not afraid if you’d like to do the same. Chatting with Shiffy we discover her More Than Rubies initiative that has awoken from it’s slumber - get involved: "... a movement for young women empowering them to make healthy and informed decisions by equipping them with the practical skills they need to achieve their dreams." During her day job Shiffy is a senior manager at Tensing focusing her talents upon the crazy and wild world of "transformation" be that companies, teams, or people. Oh yeah, Shiffy is a people person but don't you dare think that's a set of "soft skills"! - https://morethanrubies.org/ - https://nz.linkedin.com/in/shiffylal - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fulfillment-new-beginnings-shiffy-lal - http://uncomfortableisok.libsyn.com/episode-007-taking-the-crumbs-of-intelligence-from-every-interaction-shiffy-lal-from-making-a-difference-skills ------------------------------------------------------ Behind the scenes of tech, media, and startups, hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others - https://accessgranted.nz/

    Dave Moskovitz - Education is the most important tool

    The fifth of our birthday re-visits ("where are they now") has Mike and Dave catching up to discuss what has happened in the 3 years since our June 2016, "Brute force your way to success" episode. How does Dave see the New Zealand startup/ investment 'scene', what's he been working on since 2016, and what would he love you to hear based upon his ever evolving experience - if there's one thing to hear, this is it, scroll to the end. - https://dave.moskovitz.co.nz/ - https://nz.linkedin.com/in/davemoskovitz - https://twitter.com/davemosk - https://thinktank.co.nz/ - https://accessgranted.nz/episodes/2016/6/10/ep-91-brute-force-your-way-to-success-with-dave-moskovitz ------------------------------------------------------ Behind the scenes of tech, media, and startups, hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others.

    Tamara Buckland - Mental health 1st aid

    Tamara Buckland has experience to share and, as it all comes together, she is now teaching others how to ensure they too look after themselves and their teams. With a discussion about diversity, wellness, and sustainability of teams within all types of teams, not just tech, we have someone that walks the walk as New Zealand evolves it's maturity away from the Silicon Valley view of what it is to be a startup.

    Chris McDowall - Magic Internet people

    Today Viv ends her time with Access Granted by chatting with Chris McDowall. Chris and Viv first met at Kiwifoo earlier this year when he showed us a sneak peek of his latest project. If you haven’t seen the “We Are Here” book yet, check out the link below, it is beautiful and amazing. Chris first got into maps playing Dungeons And Dragons and learning about geography at university and he hasn’t looked back since. - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-mcdowall-6057b427/ - https://www.masseypress.ac.nz/books/we-are-here/ - https://twitter.com/fogonwater And so, we all say goodbye to Viv as she says goodbye to you: "Well, thanks for listening once again, and this time, I’m going to say Heoi anō tāku mō nāianei, that is all for now. You probably already know, Mike, Raj and myself are wrapping this up and this is my last official stint with the crew. It’s been awesome talking to you across the internet, and if you ever bump into me, please come say hi. Ngā mihi nui me te ngā manaakitanga… thank you so much and best wishes" ♥ ------------------------------------------------------ Behind the scenes of tech, media, and startups, hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others.

    Gavin de Steur - The (digital) human touch

    In the penultimate Viv hosted podcast she gets to go and talk with Gavin de Steur at Uneeq, well in fact she gets to talk to Gavin AND an online virtual human. Gavin, originally from South Africa, is interested in bringing back the emotional human-to-human connection and with UneeQ (formerly Faceme), started here in NZ, he has that opportunity. Uneeq has recently expanded out to Asia, Australia, Europe, and the USA which bring with it a challenging growth path because of the many different communication styles. - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavin-de-steur/ - https://digitalhumans.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Behind the scenes of tech, media, and startups, hosted by Mike Riversdale, Raj Khushal, Vivian Chandra, and others.
