About the Podcast

Topic: Antlerboy (aka Benjamin Taylor) continues to be plagued by substandard internet, although right in the middle of London and across the street to MI-6, yet can only get ADSL service to his office.  How can that be in 2019?  Broadcasting from home is not possible because Antlerboy is too “afraid” to tell his wife to be quiet as a mouse for an hour whilst we are recording.  Not to be undone, JP laments about his “high-tech house from hell”.  And so it goes…

Our guests are Seth  from Joisey   Seth shares his thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and sets the subject for the rest of the podcast.  He ponders the quality of the data being mined, whether people need all the information available to them – are they now being fed information for the wow factor or is all that time and effort waste?  JP goes on the offensive to challenge the use of AI in the hiring process among other applications.  But the conversation goes on to other introductions of innovation and technologies in general and on a variety of applications – and as experience guides us from the past; the knowns, the known unknowns, and the unkown unknowns.  JP shares the tragedy of “unknown unknowns” of innovation in the early days of high-altitude, long-distance flights – where square windows in the de Havilland Comet resulted in metal fatigue at the corners and caused several fatal crashes.  But this discovery lead to an understanding and that is why all windows in aircraft today have no corners.  In the podcast itself, JP erroneously stated that it was the “Lockeed Constellation”.  We regret the error and are sure it would not have happened if the hosts were AI bots and not live, and fallible, human beings.  


Hosts:Joseph Paris, Founder of the OpEx Society & The XONITEK Group of Companies
 Benjamin Taylor,  Managing Partner of RedQuadrant.

    Recorded: March 3, 2020 About the Podcast Topic: The episode starts off rather professional (read dry) with Antlerboy sharing some rather serious endeavors he is launching.  He introduces two new podcasts; “Joy in Work; The public service transformation” and “Transduction; the systems complexity and cybernetics” – neither of which pose any competition to The Outliers Inn (not even close).  And he also shares another project;…

    About the Podcast Topic: It’s all fun and games until… you hit a Nash equilibium. JP and Antlerboy explore the games people (and organisations) play, going from Stratego to politics to framing, re-framing, and how to challenge the rules of the game. If that sounds a little dry, wait ’til you hear our crazy audio problems – Benjamin’s never-ending quest to purchase better recording equipment…

    Video Version About the Podcast The business response to COVID has seen that many employees are able to work (and manage) from the comforts of their home (or wherever) while those whose physical presence is required have no such option.

    Video Version About the Podcast Welcome to The Outliers Inn: Where Failure Is a Launchpad and Redundancy Is a “Plot Twist!” Greetings, fellow misfits and spreadsheet-scarred consultants! Welcome to another delightfully dysfunctional episode of The Outliers Inn, the podcast where career detours are not only expected—they’re celebrated. This episode’s theme? “Falling Up”—because sometimes, getting fired, downsized, or reorganized out of existence is just what the…

  • Episode 34 – Andy Dobson

    About the Podcast Topic: In this episode, your hosts, AntlerBoy an JP, start by lamenting the software industry and their almost arrogant – sometimes not almost arrogant – disregard for the customer and the user experience.  Not that software companies will ever change, but rather a resignation that we have to endure.  But the episode gets productive, or rather reproductive, with the introduction of Andy Dobson…
