In an era where digital connectivity shapes business success, one engineer's innovative approach to fiber service adoption has established new benchmarks in data-driven sales optimization. Under the leadership of Rajkumar Kyadasu, the Fiber Accelerator project at AT&T emerged as a transformative initiative, strategically revolutionizing the identification and conversion of potential fiber service customers within existing infrastructure zones. The project arose as a critical business imperative for the need to maximize the return on investments made in fiber infrastructure by AT&T. Recognizing that there was great scope in converting non-fiber users within areas already equipped with fiber capabilities provided Rajkumar with the rationale to develop an advanced data analytics framework designed to identify and prioritize high-potential conversion opportunities and, in doing so, fundamentally changed the way the sales organization approached customer acquisition. At its core, Rajkumar's innovation came from his attitude toward data engineering and analytics. He made use of the most advanced tools such as SQL, Python, and Spark, building very complex algorithms for analyzing vast datasets of customers, clearly illuminating subscribers for fiber service within the coverage areas. His usage of real-time data processing solutions inside Databricks made sure that the latest customer insights were always available to sales teams, thereby greatly increasing the efficiency of targeting. Under his guidance, the technical architecture consisted of several cutting-edge elements that were hugely enhancing sales capabilities. With automated data pipelines, the entire workflow of data processing became streamlined, and comprehensive Power BI dashboards offered an unprecedented view into customer locations, subscription statuses, and fiber availability, thus involving the proactive engagement of customers approaching renewal dates for further opportunities at service upgrades. Performance metrics also reflected high levels of influence from Rajkumar, as customer conversion within target areas increased by 20%. Efficiency benefits were equally impressive, as conversion times improved by 25% and data processing by 40%. These benefits directly translate into improved resource allocation and more efficient sales operations, which thus substantially improved the return on investments from AT&T's fiber infrastructure. It could be highlighted that one development was in the area of creating an integrated monitoring solution by Rajkumar, which monitored all contract expirations and was aligned to the customers' engagement pattern. All these developments ensured the sales teams could close more value-added opportunities and properly target customers nearing the tail end of their contracts. The highly developed approach to data visualization and analysis gave the sales representative a holistic view, creating a better-prepared base for customer interactions. Thus, cross-functional collaboration emerged as a key ingredient in the recipe for the success of the project. Rajkumar actively collaborated with sales and operations teams and customer success teams to ensure that the perfect alignment of the technical solution was done in terms of business objectives. This cross-functional collaboration, therefore, allowed for the continuous refinement of the system based on real-world feedbacks to enable better targeting and conversion strategies. Rajkumar thus revolutionized the organization's approach to sales intelligence through automated pipelines for data. He made it easier, extracting the transformation and loading processes that a solid foundation would lead to real-time decision-making through efficient processing and analytics of large datasets in the system; therefore, there were fast responses to opportunities or changing market conditions based on current information from sales teams. At that level, the system design impact went far beyond any direct operational benefits to Rajkumar through the strategic approach of implementing scalable and automated solutions. It established new market standards in terms of data-driven sales optimization and created a prototype that will be followed in similar efforts across the whole telecommunications sector. With the success of his approach toward striking the balance between technical sophistication and practical usability setting new standards, the sales enablement technology has never been the same in terms of sales effectiveness. Looking ahead, the initiative that Rajkumar has built is going to form a solid foundation for all future sales optimization efforts. The flexible and scalable architecture he designed facilitates continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving market requirements and emerging opportunities. His comprehensive success in approaching both near-term needs for selling sales and longer-term goals for operational efficiency offers a model for future transformations in telecommunications sales. The long-term impact of the effort begun by Rajkumar continues to resonate in the decision-making processes of AT&T's fiber service. That, truly, is a significant endorsement of his skills in combining innovative data engineering with deep business acumen as an effort towards meaningful, long-lasting improvements in sales effectiveness. His means of integrating technical capabilities with an appropriate understanding of business needs have created a solution that drives organizational success and efficiency toward new standards for optimizing the adoption of fiber services.

The topic chosen, assisted dying , was a deliberately intractable issue designed to test their analytical skills. Yet just months later, scores of new MPs find themselves having to make a very real decision over changing the law. “I’m genuinely the most back and forth on this that I’ve been on anything,” said one new MP who has found themselves on either side of the debate over recent months. Like so many, with the issues so finely balanced in their mind, a single conversation can sway their thinking. “I had a conversation during the election campaign with a woman whose husband was on a [syringe] driver for 12 days,” the MP said. “I can honestly say that conversation really changed my mind and put me in the pro camp. But the challenge for the people who are pro is whether they can convince everybody that this bill is narrow enough. I don’t know what they could do prior to Friday to get that over.” All MPs are now grappling over how they will vote in Friday’s once-in-a-generation decision on the assisted dying bill brought forward by Labour backbencher Kim Leadbeater. They talk of being bombarded with campaign material from the pro and anti campaigns, as well as being swayed by personal stories of friends, family and constituents. However, Labour MPs involved in that pre-election debate practice say it could never have prepared them for the real thing, as discussing the principle of assisted dying has given way to assessing the merits of the specific bill now before them. “The general public get to say whether they’re pro or against it as a principle,” said a Labour MP. “The MPs in the grey area now are the ones asking: ‘How would this work?’ We’re trying to think of it pragmatically.” MPs across the political divide said that there had been a large amount of lobbying in their inboxes, but they are taking very different approaches to reaching their final decisions. Some said they were talking at length to their colleagues to thrash out the issues. Others said they were keeping their thoughts to themselves. While new MPs find themselves thrown into a major ethical debate only months into their career, Friday’s free vote on the issue has been no easier for some veteran MPs. John McDonnell, the former shadow chancellor who entered parliament in 1997, said he had thought about the issue for decades – but had only very recently switched in favour of backing the bill. “I’ve been in parliament 27 years now,” he said. “This has become a recurring debate every few years. It’s a hardy perennial that comes back. “Up until now, I was unsure and opposed previous attempts at assisted dying. I was concerned, as everyone is, to make sure that we get it right and that there’s safeguards in place. “I’ve been trying to talk to as many organisations as possible. I’ve read everything that’s come into my inbox. I’ve tried to interrogate the proposals as much as possible that Kim and others put forward. And so now, for the first time, I’ve come to the view that, yes, I’ll support an assisted dying bill. I think the safeguards that Kim has put forward are pretty strong. But again, if there are other improvements that could be made, I’m open minded to looking at those. But as a matter of principle, I now think we need to move forward on it.” Sign up to Observed Analysis and opinion on the week's news and culture brought to you by the best Observer writers after newsletter promotion As it is a free vote, there are figures from the political left and right on both sides. Former Tory cabinet ministers Kit Malthouse and David Davis are among the leading advocates for a change in the law . It is also an issue that has divided politicians who have almost always agreed. McDonnell will be voting in the opposite division lobby to some of his oldest political fellow travellers on the left, including Diane Abbott . Jeremy Corbyn has also previously indicated he will oppose assisted dying. “I haven’t spoken to either Jeremy or Diane,” he said. “I will do, but it’s not left or right. It’s a very individual position. And again, it’s only in this recent period, in the last few months, that I’ve come to the conclusion that, actually, I can’t any longer deny people that right.” Other MPs said that they and many of their colleagues had a clear instinct on the issue but wanted to show they were willing to consider all sides before casting their vote. “There are some people who feel that you’re denying them a fundamental human right versus other people who think you’re allowing people to kill themselves against the will of God ,” said a Tory MP. “You get quite strong, visceral opinions from constituents.”Marketing Cloud reinforces mid-market excellence in marketing automation across seven categories and 71 reports.

UCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level MediaCanada stocks higher at close of trade; S&P/TSX Composite up 0.33%
Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai’s court case a ‘show trial’: sonHALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — The first woman to command Canada’s military called out a U.S. senator on Saturday for questioning the role of women in combat. Gen. Jennie Carignan responded to comments made by Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch , the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who was asked on Friday whether President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth , should retract comments that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units. “I think it’s delusional for anybody to not agree that women in combat creates certain unique situations that have to be dealt with. I think the jury’s still out on how to do that,” Risch said during a panel session at the Halifax International Security Forum on Friday. Carignan, Canada’s chief of defense staff and the first woman to command the armed forces of any Group of 20 or Group of Seven country, took issue with those remarks during a panel session on Saturday. “If you’ll allow me, I would first like maybe to respond to Senator Risch’s statement yesterday about women in combat because I wouldn’t want anyone to leave this forum with this idea that women are a distraction to defense and national security,” Carignan said. “After 39 years of career as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations across the world, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify the contribution of women to their defense and to their service, in their country. I wouldn’t want anyone to leave this forum with this idea that this is that it is some kind of social experiment.” Carignan said women have participating in combat for hundreds of years but have never been recognized for fighting for their country. She noted the women military personnel in the room. “All the women sitting here in uniform, stepping in, and deciding to get into harm’s way and fight for their country, need to be recognized for doing so,” she said. “So again, this is the distraction, not the women themselves.” Carignan received a standing ovation at the forum, which attracts defense and security officials from Western democracies. Hegseth has reignited a debate that many thought had been long settled: Should women be allowed to serve their country by fighting on the front lines? The former Fox News commentator made it clear, in his own book and in interviews, that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units . If Hegseth is confirmed by the Senate, he could try to end the Pentagon’s nearly decade-old practice of making all combat jobs open to women. Hegseth’s remarks have generated a barrage of praise and condemnation. Carignan was promoted to the rank of general during the change-of-command ceremony this past summer, after being chosen by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to become Canada’s first female defense chief. Carignan is no stranger to firsts. She was also the first woman to command a combat unit in the Canadian military, and her career has included deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Syria. For the last three years, she has been the chief of professional conduct and culture, a job created as a result of the sexual misconduct scandal in 2021. Her appointment this year comes as Canada continues to face criticism from NATO allies for not spending 2% of its gross domestic product on defense. The Canadian government recently said that it would reach its NATO commitment by 2032. Risch said Friday Trump would laugh at Canada’s current military spending plans and said the country must do more.
