#S1E3: The organizational challenges for making AI work | Caroline Tervoort (KPMG)

Caroline Tervoort is Partner Business & HR Transformation at KPMG, and at the forefront of a complete rethink of how we manage the world of work. AI is changing what jobs look like, how teams collaborate, and what skills organizations need. KPMG's conviction? "It stays human work." But what does that actually mean when AI can attend multiple meetings at once and process data faster than any analyst? In this episode of Make it Work, we explore what AI really means for hiring, why organizations need a fundamental redesign of how humans and AI work together, how to build hybrid human-AI teams, and what that means for leadership. Caroline also speaks openly about her journey as a woman in consulting, why it's essential to stay true to yourself, and why grabbing every opportunity with a Pippi Longstocking's mindset has been key to her success.

#S1E2: Diversity is smart business, not just a goal | Dieuwke van Buren (Equals)

#S1E2 — In this episode, we sit down with Dieuwke van Buren, co-founder and Managing Director of Equals, to discuss why closing the gender gap in tech and entrepreneurship is about more than just numbers. Following International Women’s Day 2026, we explore the power of visibility and how broadening our view of the workforce is key to solving today's talent scarcity. We go behind the scenes of the Role Model Campaign to discuss the importance of identification, and unpack what it really takes for companies to build authentic talent communities. Dieuwke explains why inclusion has shifted from being a "diversity goal" to a smart business: the tech world is growing so fast that we simply cannot afford to ignore 50% of the talent pool. Listen to this episode if you’re interested in equal opportunities, relatable role models, solving talent scarcity, and the future of inclusive workforce planning.

#S1E1: Why a vision on people beats org charts | Frederik Nieuwenhuys (Picnic)

#S1E1 — In this episode, we sit down with Frederik Nieuwenhuys, co-founder of Picnic, one of Europe’s fastest-growing online supermarkets, to explore what it really takes to scale a tech-driven grocery business. We go behind the scenes on Picnic’s AI strategy and their practical build vs buy philosophy, and we unpack the leadership reality of scaling a massive workforce without losing speed or culture. Frederik shares how Picnic thinks about people over structure, how you keep company culture intact while the organization grows, and which founder trade-offs matter most when you’re building for scale. Listen to this episode if you’re interested in AI adoption, tech strategy, scaling culture, organizational design, and leadership lessons.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
