Podcast Transcript December 7, 2021 Transcript | Preparing for the Quantum Threat to Cryptography and Cryptocurrency Cybersecurity continues to be a critical area of concern for organisations and virtually any leader you ask – board members, CIOs, CFOs, and many more. But as elevated as those risks are today, the real threat may be just around the corner, particularly concerning cryptocurrency. Crypto has been viewed as highly secure, but the rapid emergence of quantum computing, which is set to deliver… Blogs February 18, 2022 In Mergers and Acquisitions, ESG Issues Are Becoming a Growing Factor To date, companies have often discussed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors from a qualitative perspective – reflecting on the company’s stated values, marketing communications and other statements. But today, almost 90% of M&A targets are only being acquired after a thorough review of their ESG quantitative performance, indicating that buyers are… Blogs February 18, 2022 Elevating ESG and Human Capital Reporting to the Next Level CFOs and finance leaders are focusing more time, expertise and innovation on their organisation’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) and Human Capital investments and reporting. Not only do ESG and Human Capital metrics and measurement rank among the higher priorities for CFOs and finance leaders, according to Protiviti’s latest global survey of CFOs and finance leaders, but these areas… Podcast August 25, 2021 Podcast | Bridging the Gap Between Algorithms and Machines with EPiQC Open source helped revolutionise classical computing. What can it do for quantum? EPiQC is a collaboration across five universities that is developing a range of open-source tools to connect algorithms to quantum computers, including programming languages, compilers, optimisers, and more. They’re also working on benchmarking, which is much needed as different types of quantum systems come online… Podcast September 22, 2021 Quantum Computing Interconnect, Memory, and Other Engineering Advances with Q-Next Engineering challenges abound in quantum computing. Technologies like interconnect and improved memory for repeaters will enable these machines to accelerate and power connectivity in the future. Q-NEXT is one of five quantum information science research centers funded by the DOE to help develop these technologies in addition to strengthening the nation’s leadership position in the quantum arms… Newsletter April 17, 2020 COVID-19: Paradigm Shift in the Boardroom (An Expanded Discussion) The discussion below is a more complete coverage, including examples, of the topic addressed in Issue 127 of Board Perspectives: Risk Oversight and on NACD/BoardTalk.The global COVID-19 pandemic is a different experience from other catastrophic events like the September 11, 2001 attacks and the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.
