>> Hi. I'm Xavier Pereira from Microsoft Services,

and I'm very pleased to welcome today David Cox.

David, can I let you introduce yourself please?

>> Certainly, thank you, Xavier. My name is David Cox.

I'm a Digital Advisor with Microsoft Digital.

>> So we know a lot of customers

are thinking about digital transformation,

and a lot of

the digital advisors are

engaged on those digital transformation.

What is the role of digital advisor in that context?

>> Thank you. Well, when we think about

digital transformation the key word

is transformation, not digital.

The transformation piece comes first,

and then the digital is the enabling technology

that helped that transformation be successful.

So our role is to help

our customers transform using technology.

>> Value is key in this context, I'm assuming.

So, can you share some experiences of

how you deliver that value?

Maybe you have a couple of customers in

a specific industry you can share examples with us?

>> I'd be delighted to. So, value

is really all about, in many ways,

creating new value within the marketplace,

not replicating what is already there.

So a great example is Clear Bank that has

transformed clearing in the United Kingdom.

Well, it used to be the case that clearing was

ton of payments through batch processing,

it could take three days to clear a payment.

But you and I want our payments to

take place instantly, right?

Then what Clear Bank did,

is they brought technology to play using Microsoft Azure,

that would enable instant transactions

to take place in real time instead of batch.

>> So we know digital transformation

is quite often the technology conversation,

but it's also behind a connection from people to people

to improve the customer

experience on part of the employee.

What's your point of view about the change

which is happening from a cultural point of view?

>> We're really transitioning to

a fearless culture that's really

about enabling people to be themselves.

That's the best way to attract

the right talent and to get

them to perform in the best way.

And it really goes down at its heart to diversity,

not just diversity of background,

but diversity of thinking so you

can really bring the best ideas to the table.

>> Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

Once again, if you want to know more about

digital transformation you can

join us on our website, microsoft.com/services.

Thank you.

November 2017 Update #DHSTV with Hank Jongen Department of Human Services - Duration: 3:29.

This month: Child Dental Benefits Schedule, claiming ABSTUDY and travelling overseas.

G'day, I'm Hank Jongen, here to tell you what's happening with the department in November.

As the year is coming to an end I'd like to remind families about the

Child Dental Benefits Schedule. This covers part of or the full costs of

a range of dental services for children aged 2 to 17 years of age. If eligible,

you can get up to $1000 over 2 calendar years. Before booking a

visit to the dentist, you can check your eligibility and the remaining benefit

cap amount for your child by accessing your Medicare online account through

myGov or by calling the Medicare general enquiries line. ABSTUDY helps Indigenous

Australians with the costs of studying or doing an Australian Apprenticeship.

It's important to get claims for next year submitted early. This is especially

important for students moving away from home to study, that's so payments can be

finalised and travel can be organised as early as possible. Claiming before

December will help students get ABSTUDY before school starts. This year, we've

made claiming easier with a verbal declaration. This means when you claim

over the phone, most people won't need to return a Customer Declaration Form

you'll only need to return it if your information isn't correct or you need to

advise of changes. We'll also let you know if you need to provide any

additional supporting documents for your claim. As we're approaching the end of

the year, a lot of people are thinking about holidays. If you're planning to

travel overseas, it's important to check how this may affect your health care,

child support arrangements and Centrelink payments.

You can tell us about your travel using your Centrelink online account through

myGov, and we'll be able to give you tailored information about how your

travel could affect your payment. While overseas, you'll also need to let

the department know about any changes to your circumstances that would normally

affect your payment or concession card, just as you would if you were in

Australia. There are rules covering how travelling outside Australia may affect

your payment or concession card. These depend on the payment or concession card

that you get. You can find out more on the website. Thanks for watching, and as

always, don't forget to like or follow us on social media and subscribe to our

channel to keep up to date. I'll see you next month, goodbye for now.

McCarty Weight Loss Center - Surgery Options & Services - Duration: 2:06.

- Weight loss surgery has come a long ways.

From how it was 20 years ago.

Now with this practice in the last few years,

I've seen it evolve so much to where we

have, everyone knows about the Mini Sleeve.

People are finding it online.

People from other states are coming.

I think we've had patients from almost 35 other states

and one international patient come

for the Mini Sleeve specifically.

Our practice has grown to where we have more people

that can help patients and check their insurance.

We have a dietician that can give them full support.

We have our own vitamin line now,

where we can support patients

from a nutritional standpoint for after surgery.

We also have a lot of social media support for patients.

We have recipes, workout tips, Pinterest, Facebook.

A lot of different social options

for patients to stay connected to our practice.

Even if they're out of state or out of town.

The biggest way that the McCarty Weight Loss Center

stands out above anyone else,

obviously the number one would

be the Mini Sleeve because it's trademarked.

I think number two is probably

our compassion for our patients.

How we truly do see them through

their whole weight-loss journey.

We know that each one is going through a different journey

and so we try to stay right there

with them and guide them the right way.

Some people struggle with their weight

for other reasons and have other medical conditions

and so we try to cater to each one

specifically and individually.

With the office environment here

at the McCarty Weight Loss Center,

some of our patients are more accommodated

with a larger chair and so all of our chairs

here are bariatric friendly.

Our lab, our phlebotomy chair,

all of the chairs in our nutrition rooms, our lobby,

everywhere you go in this office

there is a bariatric friendly chair, just in case.

We don't ever want anyone to feel uncomfortable

or unwelcome, so we try to structure our office

to where it's very warm and inviting to each patient.

2016-17 Annual Report | Health Services Message from the interim President and CEO - Duration: 2:34.

In 2016 and 17, the WRHA took the initial steps

on a journey that will see the most significant change

to regional health-care delivery in a generation.

As interim President and CEO,

it's my pleasure to report on our progress

and to share our plans for the first phase of changes

that will come into effect this fall.

For too long, Winnipeg has lagged behind the national average

on a number of key measures,

most notably wait times for emergency services

and lengths of stay in hospital.

Those challenges impact the entire continuum of care,

diminishing our ability to serve our community

and threatening the sustainability of our system.

The changes we are undertaking are necessary, and long overdue.

And so, in line with recommendations in reports

by Dr. David Peachey and the consulting firm KPMG,

we have engaged clinical experts across the system

in designing a framework for health-care delivery

that better serves our patients,

streamlining processes

and removing roadblocks to quality care.

These changes were announced by my predecessor,

Milton Sussman, in April of 2017.

On behalf of our entire organization,

I want to extend our sincere thanks

to Milton for his wisdom and direction

in setting our course and, in particular,

for his dedication to both patients and staff across the region.

I want to thank our Board of Directors, as well,

for their unwavering support and guidance in our efforts

to enhance and sustain quality health care in Manitoba.

All of this change brings with it

a considerable amount of disruption.

It's stressful and it's hard.

But our staff remain focused on providing the best care possible

contributing to discussions

and challenging the status quo.

I want to acknowledge and thank them

– all 28,000 –

for their dedication and professionalism

throughout this process.

Since taking on my role in June 2017,

I have had the opportunity to meet with staff across the region,

to hear their feedback and their ideas for improvement.

Change of this magnitude does not happen

without a sense of shared purpose

and commitment to those we serve.

I'm intensely proud of our people,

their conviction

and their willingness to participate fully in meaningful,

transformative change

– for ourselves and generations to come.

Thank you.

Brexit Britain services exports booming in US and Asia - Duration: 5:30.

Britain exports THREE TIMES more services to the United States than to Germany while sales to Asia have soared, new figures reveal

Brexit Britain received a boost today after new figures show that exports are booming - and sales to the US far outstrip those to Germany.

Trade numbers show the UK exports twice as much in services than we import - selling £38. 537bn from April to June this year and buying in just £17. 762bn.

And Britain sells over three times more to the United States than we do to Germany - our biggest trading partner in the EU.

The Office for National Statistics revealed the UK sold £8. 4bn worth of services to the US from April to June - far more than the £2. 5bn sold to Germany.

While sales to Asia have seen the biggest growth - jumping by nearly £1bn to £7. 279bn from the first quarter of this year to the second.

The figures will be greeted with cheer by Brexiteers who have called for the UK to focus more on beefing up our trade links with the expanding Asia and US markets rather than focus on the EU.

In a statement to Mail Online, International Trade Secretary, Dr Liam Fox said: Todays figures show our exports growing from strength to strength.

UK services are in high demand across the globe, with nearly two thirds going to markets outside the EU such as Japan and Saudi Arabia.

It heralds a prosperous trading future for the UK, and its why the dynamic and experienced team at my international economic department will continue to prepare the ground for future free trade deals, and support more British businesses that want to export.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, Tory MP for North East Somerset, told Mail Online: The great strength of the UK is in services.

It is striking that the US is our biggest national market and that we are doing well in the high growth Asian markets.

Over the next generation the sclerotic European economies are the past, Brexit frees us for the future.

The numbers show the value of British exports in services - excluding industries such as transport, banking and travel - to 54 different countries.

The EU is Britains biggest single trading  bloc - with the 27 other member states collectively buying 36. 4 per cent of the UKs service exports.

While the second biggest market is North America which bought more than a fifth (22. 9 per cent) of Britains services exports in the last quarter.

The value of exports to North America rose by £396 million to £8. 861bn from the first three months of the year compared to the second.

A surge in sales to the US was the driving force behind this jump, with an extra £397 million of sales going to the States.

ONS said that sales increased to nearly all geographical regions - but the highest surge was in the growing market of Asia.

Sales to Asia increased by £951 million from the first three months of the year to the second, reaching £7. 279bn.

China made the single largest contribution to the increase, growing by £246 million over the three months.

The figures are a boost for Chancellor Philip Hammond ahead of the Budget, which he will deliver in three weeks time.

He is under pressure to find extra  funds to plough into house building and other public services.
