Data is the new currency, but are we spending it wisely? In today's data-driven world, the pressure to collect, store, and process vast amounts of information is immense. Big Tech's reliance on extensive datasets and AI innovations drives a “Fear of Missing Out” on data, while evolving regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (#CCPA), Texas Data Pri­va­cy And Secu­ri­ty Act, the EU #GDPR, etc., demand purposeful and proportionate collection. Excessive data collection leads to data obesity—overwhelming repositories of unused or redundant data that increase risks of breaches, non-compliance, and reputational damage—dark data (forgotten or underutilized) compounds this problem, exposing organizations. Our article (with Tim Timmermans) contains actionable insights, tools, and practices to help your organization deal with data obesity and stay data-fit to thrive in the modern data economy. 💬 What’s your take? How do you balance the hunger for data with the need for security and compliance?

"It’s not weak to ask for help. It’s weak to ignore your problems until they explode." - CEO Jean-Hugues M. 💡 Mental health isn’t just about how we feel. It’s about how we process, cope, and move forward. And yet, the way we do that is often shaped by something beyond just personal experience: the generation we belong to. 👴 👶 To understand how different generations approach mental health, psychology student Nia Mirza sat down with her colleagues at Anove—Jean-Hugues, Yuri, Guy, Niels, and Ezra. Our team spans Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X, each bringing their own perspectives shaped by the time they grew up in. Some of us believe in pushing forward no matter what. Others emphasize self-reflection. So, what happens when you put all these mindsets in one room? Tensions? Agreements? Eye-opening realizations? The answers are surprising. 🫣 Read on as we explore what mental health means across generations, what sets us apart, what unites us and what we can learn from each other.  Click here to see the article: https://lnkd.in/ewTqPFMS #MentalHealth #Psychology #MentalHealthinTheWorkPlace #GenZ #Millenials #GenX

Is this the ultimate business power duo? 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 France and The Netherlands might just be the smartest market combination out there. CEO Jean-Hugues M. breaks down why: 🔹 The Netherlands has quietly become the UK’s replacement for English-speaking businesses in Europe. Brexit closed one door, but the Dutch market opened another; fast, accessible, and globally connected. 🌎 🔹 France brings its deep rooted influence and historical ties, unlocking major opportunities in French-speaking regions worldwide. 🤝 Together, they create a powerful launchpad for companies looking to play internationally. But is this really the best strategy? Or are there better market combos out there? Let’s debate. 👇 --- This short is from our latest episode of "Let The ... Talk" hosted by Dr Yuri Bobbert. We sat down with Jean-Hugues Migeon, CEO of Anove. Together they explore the journey of building a business between France and the Netherlands.

With Donald Trump back in the White House, the future of AI and tech regulations is about to take a wild turn... 😬 If history is any indicator, we could be looking at: 🔹  Fewer AI safety rules: think less red tape, more innovation (or more chaos?) 🔹  Dismantling of regulatory bodies like the U.S. AI Safety Institute, because who needs oversight, right? 🔹  A free-market approach to Big Tech -> less government interference, more power to the private sector The big question: Is this the era of unstoppable AI progress or a regulatory Wild West? 🤔 Love it or hate it, one thing is certain: Tech policy is about to get interesting... Dive into our latest breakdown of what to expect in this new political landscape. Check it out 👉  https://lnkd.in/eFvwixuY What’s your take?

EU Tech Regulations are growing... But how can we decrease the load for supervisory bodies? As regulations become more complex, supervisory bodies face increasing pressure to keep up. Limited resources, manual processes and constantly evolving compliance requirements make it harder to maintain effective oversight. But what if technology could help ease this burden? 🤔 In their article, Yuri Bobbert and Iris van Holsteijn (Breinstein) explore how AI and control automation can support regulatory bodies by reducing inefficiencies, improving oversight and shifting from reactive enforcement to proactive supervision. Instead of drowning in manual tasks, regulators can leverage smart solutions to focus on what truly matters: ensuring compliance in a rapidly moving digital world. Modernizing regulatory processes isn’t just about making life easier for supervisory bodies. It’s about creating a more transparent and more efficient system that benefits both regulators and the organizations they oversee. 👀 Interested in learning more?

Being allowed to fail is the key! But why?🤔 Many of us have ideas stored in our brain, but we don't take action because the fear of failure is hanging over our heads. This happens more in French businesses, whereas in the Netherlands even people with little ideas get to make their dreams come true because they're allowed to fail. Starting that company, pitching that idea: It all starts with receiving the space to be wrong sometimes. 😌 --- This short is from our latest episode of "Let The ... Talk" hosted by Dr Yuri Bobbert.

Even regulators are moving beyond Excel... Should you?📉 The European Banking Authority (EBA) has made its stance clear: Excel isn’t enough to maintain the Register of Information required under DORA. While spreadsheets may help with visualization, they fall short in managing the complexity and relational nature of ICT third-party risk. With regulatory scrutiny tightening, financial institutions must rethink their approach. What’s the right tool for the job? Read the full article to find out why Excel is being left behind and what that means for your organization. 🔍 ⬇️ #Excel #Regulation #Regulationtools #EuropeanBankingAuthority
