  • Digital Transformation & Innovation Strategy with Nadia Vincent

    Digital Transformation & Innovation Strategy with Nadia Vincent
    Jun 2 2025
    Embracing new technology brings risks and rewards. On the one hand, adopting the right emerging tech and tools can enhance, elevate and streamline your business. On the other hand, adopting the wrong new tools can be expensive and burdensome for employees or customers. The key is strategy - planning deliberately, not hopping on a bandwagon. This week, we explore that strategy in the transportation sector with digital transformation and innovation strategy adviser Nadia Vincent.

  • Simulated Disasters and Board Games with James Meaux and John Suarez

    Simulated Disasters and Board Games with James Meaux and John Suarez
    May 5 2025
    How do you plan for a disaster? There's only so much you can do with paperwork and theory, but you also don't want to wait for an actual crisis to develop a strategy. That's where simulations come in - and, often, adaptive board games and training exercises. This week, we chat with James Meaux, the regional training and exercise coordinator for SETRAC, and John Suarez, project manager for the health and public health sectors at IHS, about mock mass casualty events and how to role play disaster scenarios.

  • How Quantum Computers Could Break the Internet with Nick Reese

    How Quantum Computers Could Break the Internet with Nick Reese
    Apr 7 2025
    Current computers use binary code, a series of ones and zeroes that are arranged methodically in lines of code. They're entirely linear - everything is step by step by step, a one or a zero at a time. That's not the case for quantum computers, the "weird" new computational technology that could shred conventional encryption methods and turn digital infrastructure upside-down. This week, we explore quantum computing with Nick Reese, the co-founder of the Frontier Foundry who also serves on the Homeland Security Advisory Board at George Washington University. In addition to articles at the Frontier Foundry, you may also want to check out Quantum Insider or the Emerging Technology short courses available through IHS.

  • Future Water Economic Impact on Small and Rural Communities with Lia Clark & Jason Knobloch

    Future Water Economic Impact on Small and Rural Communities with Lia Clark & Jason Knobloch
    Mar 3 2025
    The vast majority of community water systems in Texas are rural, with 10,000 or fewer residential connections. That's also where most of our population growth is headed. How can small water systems plan, update and adapt their aging infrastructure? This week, we chat with Ms. Lia Clark, Community Engagement Manager with the Water Finance Exchange, and Mr. Jason Knobloch, Deputy Executive Director with the Texas Rural Water Association, about resources and strategies for rural water and small communities.

  • Vulnerabilities of Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies with Mike Mastrangelo and Elston Johnson

    Vulnerabilities of Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies with Mike Mastrangelo and Elston Johnson
    Feb 24 2025
    What happens if the water goes out at a hospital? What if the tap dries up during a broader crisis, like a hurricane or a winter storm? With thoughtful planning and careful training, plus cooperation and coordination between sectors, some of those risks can be reduced. This week, we chat with Mike Mastrangelo, Emergency Management and Public Health Expert, and Elston Johnson, president and owner of Elston Johnson & Associates, about water interdependencies and healthcare. Here are articles about a chemical spill in South Korea mentioned by one of our guests and a link to a previous episode on water supply challenges after a hurricane.
