    Another workday in the metaverse

    Subscribe to Delve at delve.mcgill.ca! These days, AI is the hot new piece of tech on the block. But that doesn’t mean metaverses have disappeared. Immersive, virtual realities are being used to train pilots and surgeons. Management students are taking virtual field trips to factories around the world. And one day, communicating in VR may be as common as taking a Zoom call. If that happens, what does that mean for how we work? What happens when we present ourselves through customized avatars, rather than a true image of ourselves? Can VR help facilitate more personal, meaningful connections between coworkers? Or will it just be a new way to monitor workers and absorb them into the surveillance economy? Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, discusses with Professor Emma Vaast. The conversation begins with a simple question: Why should we care about metaverses right now? They discuss the potential use cases of immersive platforms, what it could mean for how we work, and what the future holds for metaverse development.

    The ways your data is lying to you

    Subscribe to the Delve newsletter for weekly management insights from McGill University. These days, even grocery chains are data companies, as much as they are food retailers. But in the push towards data-driven decision making, how do we know we’re actually using our data correctly? This week, we’re talking to Najib Mozahem. He’s an assistant professor of information systems at McGill University and a data scientist at Air Canada. He gives us the rundown on how data can be misleading and what you can do to pull the best information possible.

    AI will make supply chains both lean and resilient

    Follow us on LinkedIn at @McGillDelve! How can supply chains react to a chaotic world? When traditional supply chain models fail, what’s left for us to try? Can we trust AI to help navigate the uncertainty? Chris Tang, professor emeritus in supply chain management at UCLA, believes AI can make supply chains both lean and resilient. Mehmet Gumus, Professor of Operations Management at McGill University, asks him how. Indeed, global disruptions have exposed weaknesses in traditional supply chain models. Lean networks are too vulnerable to disruptions. Redundant ones are more resilient, but can no longer keep up with the pace and scale of change. So where do we go from here? They begin their conversation with an overview of the current challenges facing supply chains and the limits of lean and resilient models. Then they explore how AI might help navigate this uncertainty. And finally, they discuss the role of human decision-makers in supply chains orchestrated through AI.

    Putting the 'care' back in healthcare

    Follow Delve on LinkedIn! @McGillDelve The last time you saw a doctor, did you feel cared for? Or did you feel depleted? Your answer is about more than customer service satisfaction. It can actually have important impacts on your health. This week, Dr Anoop Kumar joins Professor Saku Mantere on the McGill Delve podcast. Dr Kumar is an emergency physician, and he highlights an important blind spot in healthcare. Physicians often neglect to see patients as whole, emotionally complex people – and leave them feeling uncared for as a result. And more than that, in failing to see wholeness, they close the door on treatments that can promote healing far beyond the doctor’s office. In this conversation, Dr Kumar and Professor Mantere talk about what it means to treat the whole patient, why it’s so rare in healthcare, and why we should re-orient healthcare towards wholeness.                                                                                                           // RELATED CONTENT Healthcare innovation requires courage and slack Lessons in healthcare management from emerging economies Medical records without borders   // STAY IN TOUCH LinkedIn (https://bit.ly/3TiUFVw) Instagram (https://bit.ly/3ZXbxVz) Facebook (https://bit.ly/3ZrNsWR) Email (delve@mcgill.ca) Website (delve.mcgill.ca)   // ABOUT Delve is the official thought leadership platform of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.

    Creating a green economy is not plug-and-play

    Follow McGill Delve on LinkedIn! @McGillDelve (https://bit.ly/3TiUFVw) To fully take advantage of green technologies, many systems may have to change. And that’s not a bad thing. Green technologies open new possibilities for global production systems—and they could quickly make our current systems look outdated. This week on the McGill Delve podcast, Professors Michael Raynor (Ivey Business School) and Sanjith Gopalakrishnan (McGill University) make the case for disruptive innovation in our systems. They talk about climate change through the lens of disruption, why “scale” shouldn’t be the only metric for innovation, and how climate-friendly production systems are achievable with less compromise than you might think. Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.   // RELATED CONTENT The End of Oil, with Professors Ryan Kellogg (University of Chicago) and Javad Nasiry (McGill University).

    Community organizations are an antidote to systemic racism

    We hear a lot about systemic racism. But what does systemic anti-racism look like? This week, we’re talking to an expert about how to build anti-racist public organizations. Alicia Boatswain-Kyte is a social worker and Assistant Professor of Social Work at McGill University. She has published several studies about Black people’s experiences with healthcare, youth services, the justice system, and more. She explains why these institutions often fall short of meeting the needs of Black people. She also challenges us to think differently about how to deliver public services. The secret, as she explains, is to empower communities – and to let go of racial capitalism. Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode. In this conversation we talk about the Black experience when interfacing with public organizations, why public institutions can be so reluctant to change, and the difference between organizing through community and organizing through capitalism.   // MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Equity Myth. 2017.

    Beware the inequities of ‘neutral’ management practices

    Follow us on LinkedIn! / (https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcgilldelve/) How do men and women react differently to management? Why do some management practices contribute to gender inequity, even if they’re applied equally across all workers? What can managers do to better support workers of all identities, while maintaining productivity and quality of work? Roman Galperin, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at McGill University, explores the evidence. Galperin recently published a study examining how men and women respond to increased monitoring and incentives from their managers. His findings show that, even when applied equally to all workers, some management tactics can further entrench gender inequities. He explains why. Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode. // KEEP LEARNING Read Professor Galperin’s full study in Organization Science / (https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/orsc.2023.17754) Visit our website to change how you think about management / (https://delve.mcgill.ca) // CREDITS This episode of the podcast was produced, hosted, and edited by Eric Dicaire.

    Theatre was the original thinking machine

    As the world navigates the impacts of AI, we’re returning to the oldest thinking machine of all: the theatre. Managers everywhere are using AI to reimagine human-made systems, such as healthcare, supply chains, and finance. But today’s podcast guests remind us that art still has much to teach us – and we better not forget it. Laurette Dubé is a Professor Emerita in Consumer Psychology at McGill University. Paul Yachnin is a Tomlinson Professor of Shakespeare Studies, also at McGill University. They call on managers and leaders to engage with the arts to solve complex problems and keep humanity at the centre of their work.   In today’s podcast, we’re doing exactly that. With host Eric Dicaire, Professors Dubé and Yachnin turn to Shakespeare’s Macbeth for lessons on how to change the world. What does Macbeth’s history of violence teach us about healing trauma? How is the murder of King Duncan connected to the manosphere? What does Macbeth’s story teach us about morality and the pursuit of power? This podcast is a preview of the upcoming event, “Thinking Inside Macbeth,” happening on January 28, 2026. Details are here.
