The biggest barrier to change has always been culture. When personal computers were new to the workplace, many employees stuffed their computer into a corner and treated it as furniture or viewed it as something for just the secretary to work with. Now it's difficult to think of a job that doesn't require any use of a computer. We've come a long way since then, but that just goes to show you that transformation rarely goes well in the workplace. In fact, most businesses are probably 50-75 years behind the times due to resisting change! The addition of AI is currently the biggest disruptor of company culture due to the massive number of layoffs affecting mostly white-collar jobs. Managers now need a little guidance on how to handle changing attitudes in the workplace. Today host Jack Russo and David White discuss the broader view of the workplace changing under AI.   https://www.culture-logics.com/   Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

In this podcast we talk about the need to modernise UK construction.I have been writing about this sector for close to three decades and this subject has been a consistent and infuriatingly repetitive issue.A bit of background to set the scene around three decades of reports an initiatives. In 1994, the Latham Review kicked things off and set out the need for collaboration and single teams, to boost quality, reduce disputes and improve margins. It was quickly followed by the Egan Review in 1998 which also highlighted the need to rethink construction with stronger client leadership and more collaboration.This led to the Movement for Innovation, and the 2001 Strategic Forum for Construction who's 2002 report Accelerating Change set a path towards greater use of digital technology in the industry eventually leading to the mandating of the use of BIM on public project a decade later.Then came the Wolstenholme Review urging us in 2009 to “Never Waste a Good Crisis”.And the establishment of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) in 2013 to oversee Construction 2025, a new industry strategy targeted with reducing cost and carbon, accelerating delivery and increasing exports.In 2016 we had the Farmer Review, aptly titled Modernise or Die which set out ten recommendations for fundamental change. And in 2017 the Infrastructure and Projects Authority's Transforming Infrastructure Performance report again urged change through use of off-site fabrication and digital technology.The perilous state of the industry was laid bar in 2018 by the Hackett report into the 2017 Grenfell Fire. This underlined the systemic, ethical and professional failures which sat at the heart of tragedy in west London.Then came Covid, the drive towards a net zero future, and the battle to cope with rampant inflation across the building and construction material sector and the chronic lack of skills needed to drive the sector – not helped of course by the impact of Brexit.It is fair to say that the industry lurches from crisis to crisis. So to discuss the challenges that lie ahead, my guest today is Mark Reynolds, co-chair of the Construction Leadership Council and, in his spare time, also Group Chairman and Chief Executive of global consultancy and construction firm Mace.ResourcesConstruction Leadership CouncilLatham Review – Constructing the TeamEgan Review – Rethinking ConstructionWolstenholme Review – Never Waste a Good CrisisFarmer Review – Modernise or DieMace Group website

Please tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome Tyler James, Regional Vice President of Construction Property Midwest. We begin the episode by discussing Tyler's professional career, where he quickly realized corporate finance was not for him, and instead chose the path of insurance. Tyler digs in on the evolving marketplace where things are no longer the status quo, but a unique blend of opportunity and evolution. We break the discussion down to four main areas of growth, project size, materials, scope, and occupancy. Tyler leads us through these topics and imparts his 3 main takeaways for our audience. 1. Transparency Is King: It is so important to have true collaboration between carrier and insured, and transparency is vital to this. As Tyler states, he has never seen a carrier punish their insureds for sharing more information with them; it often leads to better understanding and preferred outcomes for all parties. 2. Understanding The “Why”: Tyler always tells his team to try to understand the “why”. When the underwriters are brought up to speed and understand the needs of the insureds, it allows them to better understand the project details and write more comprehensive policies. 3. Don't Be Afraid To Pick Up The Phone: One of the best resources that insureds have is their broker and carrier, who typically have a wealth of experience for projects just like theirs. Tyler recommends insureds look to engage their brokers and carriers in a proactive way so that they can talk through any sticking points and collaborate on a resolution that will provide maximum satisfaction for all parties.

Tom Sine's most recent book (co-authored with Dwight Friesen) is 2020s Foresight: Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change.Tom Sine has been doing future forecasting for many decades and has helped lots of churches think about what is happening in their communities now so that they can make plans as they anticipate what is coming in the next several years.Tom also thinks a lot about the younger generations and how their presence and activity will shape our society in the coming years and decades.   And what I love about Tom's knowledge of the younger generations is that it is based not only on research, but on relationships. We talk about all of this in this episode of Spiritual Life and Leadership.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Tom Sine's most recent book (co-authored with Dwight Friesen) is 2020s Foresight: Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change.For 28 years, Tom taught a course at Fuller Theological Seminary's Seattle extension called “Christian World View in Rapidly Changing Times.”Tom Sine explains why churches today have a difficult time connecting with Gen Y and Gen Z.Tom shares an example of young people who made a difference in their community.Younger generations may be dropping off from the church because they are more concerned about social issues.  And they may not see the church engaging in the issues that matter to them.To begin engaging in forecasting, it is helpful to talk to business leaders in our churches.Tom Sine says we need to move beyond charity to real serious neighborhood empowerment.Gen Y and Gen Z will not be able to afford homes as nice as their parents.Tom Sine recommends we come up with creative living arrangements.On May 10, 2023, Tom Sine will be doing a webinar together with Tod Bolsinger titled, "Leadership and the Challenges Facing our Neighbors Today and Tomorrow:  Your Community's Pain, Your Calling.”  Registration info is coming soon.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books mentioned:2020s Foresight: Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change, by Ton Sine and Dwight FriesenLive Like You Give a Damn: Join the Changemaking Celebration, by Tom SineBlog:Christine Sine - www.godspacelight.comRelated episodes:Episode 118: Forecasting and Innovation, with Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen, co-authors of 2020s ForesightLearn how to lead your church into ministry that matters.

What's the key to successful leadership in times of fast-paced change? To Jen Piepszak and Marianne Lake, co-CEOs of Chase Consumer & Community Banking, it includes focusing on the customer and building and maintaining strong company culture. In this episode, the two leaders take the stage with Women on the Move Host Sam Saperstein as part of the sixth annual WOTM Leadership Day. As co-leaders, Marianne and Jen have split up the Consumer & Community Banking umbrella: Marianne runs consumer lending and connected commerce, and Jen heads up banking businesses and wealth management. Jen tells Sam that their successful partnership is built on a lengthy experience of mutual trust, respect, and friendship. And while they've split up the responsibilities, they spend a lot of time collaborating on issues that make all experiences easier for customers. “Be the CEO of whatever you're running” When Sam asks Marianne about the traits she looks for in leaders and managers, Marianne shares that for her, this includes putting the customer first and communicating clearly with the team every step of the way. She says that being the CEO of whatever you're working on includes understanding and focusing obsessively on customer needs and putting the customer—internal or external—at the center of all decision-making. “Oftentimes the best way you can obsess about the competition is obsessing about the customer,” she says. Once a leader has clarified their focus, Marianne says communication is key. “Whatever you have defined as success for your business or endeavor, you need to communicate it clearly, consistently, and often because people in the team can get behind what they understand,” she tells Sam.  After that, she says, a keen attention to the data analytics is necessary: She recommends being very disciplined about showing data-driven decisions that people can understand. “Jamie [Dimon, JPMorgan Chase CEO] has said often and I agree with him: data analyze, rinse, repeat,” she says. “It takes the emotion out of decisions.” Building and maintaining culture Jen and Marianne discussed one of the largest changes they've managed over the past 18 months—the sudden move to remote and then hybrid work, which the company continues to pilot and test. Jen says that there's a difference between the initial fast-paced move to remote work versus what flexibility will ultimately look like going forward. She notes that the pandemic had a disproportionate impact on women and that the flexibility coming out of it will likely have a disproportionately positive impact on women as well. “I think it was extraordinary what we were able to do in a weekend really, turn our entire workforce into a remote workforce,” she says. “I do think that we have proven that you can maintain culture in a remote environment. We have yet to prove that you can build culture in a remote environment. And so I think having an office-based culture is incredibly important to this company for a very, very good reason.” Jen and Marianne both agree that while remote work offers valuable flexibility, the in-person experience is critical to establishing team relationships and ultimately building culture and trust. “And I think that is a huge motivating factor for anyone,” Jen says. “In person, you have that opportunity to build that culture. And yes, you also have that opportunity to take a little bit more time to work through an issue or solve a problem, or run next door to Marianne's office and say, what do you think about this?” Full transcript here

Today's Story: Agile Combat Employment Doctrine

Dwight Friesen and Tom Sine coach and consult with churches in the area of foresight and innovation.  They are alo co-authors of 2020s Foresight: Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change.There's no denying that the world just keeps changing and it feels like the church is constantly playing catch-up.But here's the thing.  We can't keep playing catch up.  We have to start asking not, “How do we need to change to be the church for today?”  But, “How do we need to change to be the church for tomorrow?”In this episode, I'm speaking with Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen about their book, 2020s Foresight.  We talk about the importance of anticipating the future, engaging our “shalomic imagination,” and how to practically begin the work of forecasting.  THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Tom Sine is a consultant with churches in the area of foresight and innovation and the co-author of 2020s Foresight.Dwight Friesen is the Associate Professor of Practical Theology at the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and co-author of 2020s Foresight.Tom Sine studied under Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, who eventually became a friend and mentor to Tom.Most churches' strategic planning is very inward focused, failing to attend to what is going on in the world around them.The three-part framework of probability forecasting includes anticipating, reflecting, and innovating.There is an important connection between anticipating and hospitality.Whenever there is a crisis, we need to ask what we are being invited to anticipate.Pastors can start the work of forecasting by intentionally learning from business leaders in their congregations.People in churches don't generally fear change; they fear loss.Dwight explains what he means by “shalomic imagination.”People need to explore other housing options besides the “American Dream” option.Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen explain how a pastor can, very practically, begin to engage in the work of forecasting.Tom Sine is available to meet with study groups via Zoom to discuss 2020s Foresight.  Simply e-mail him at twsine@gmail.com.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books:2020s Foresight, by Tom Sine and Dwight FriesenThe Mustard Seed Conspiracy, by Tom SineThe New Parish, by Dwight Friesen, Paul Sparks, and Tim SoerensWebsites:www.theseattleschool.eduwww.newchangemakers.comwww.godspacelight.comwww.dwightfriesen.comwww.theseattleschool.eduInhabit Conference:https://theseattleschool.edu/event/inhabit-conference/Church Leadership Institute

            In this episode Forrest talks to the authors of a book called 2020s Foresight: Three Vital Practices for Thriving in a Decade of Accelerating Change. One of the authors is Tom Sine—a man who has written many books and influenced many lives—and in fact this podcast has deep ties to his profound influence. (Earthkeepers podcast is an expression of an organization called Circlewood. Circlewood itself grew out of an organization called Mustard Seed Associates—and that organization was founded by Tom and his wife Christine). The other author of this book is Dwight Friesen, a professor at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. Both Dwight and Tom make the urgent case that people of faith need to become innovative problem solvers in the face of the desperate challenges we face in this present age.Guest: Tom Sine - co-author of 2020's Foresight Other books by Tom Sine Mustard Seed Associates  Guest: Dwight J.

Russell explains the difference between a paradigm and a metaparadigm and why consciousness cannot be explained within our current systems. He describes how all of life, and the universe as a whole, has the capacity for consciousness. His insight into the essence of “I am” points to how our seeking is actually obstructing our natural state of contentment. Peter Russell, D.C.S. is an author and meditation teacher focusing on consciousness and spirituality.

Ursula Burns, the former CEO of Xerox, joins The Post to discuss the ways companies can help facilitate greater gender and ethnic diversity in the boardroom.

Debbie Reynolds is known as “The Data Diva” — and for good reason.    In addition to being founder, CEO and chief data privacy officer of her own successful consulting firm, Debbie has been named to the Global Top 20 CyberRisk Communicators by The European Risk Policy Institute in 2020. She’s also written a few books, such as The GDPR Challenge: Privacy, Technology, and Compliance In An Age of Accelerating Change; as well as articles for other publications.   If you are building data products, especially customer-facing software, you’ll want to tune into this episode. Debbie and Ihad an awesome discussion about data privacy from the lens of user experience instead of the typical angle we are all used to: legal compliance. While collecting user data can enable better user experiences, we can also break a customer’s trust if we don’t request access properly.     In our chat, we covered: 'Humans are using your product': What it means to be a 'data steward' when building software. (0:27) 'Privacy by design': The importance for software creators to think about privacy throughout the entire product creation process. (4:32) The different laws (and lack thereof) regarding data privacy — and the importance to think about a product's potential harm during the design process. (6:58) The importance of having 'diversity at all levels' when building data products. (16:41) The role of transparency in data collection. (19:41) Fostering a positive and collaborative relationship between a product or service’s designers, product owners, and legal compliance experts. (24:55) The future of data monetization and how it relates to privacy. (29:18)   Resources and Links: Debbie’s Website. Twitter: @DebbieDataDiva Debbie’s LinkedIn Quotes from Today’s Episode When it comes to your product, humans are using it. Regardless of whether the users are internal or external — what I tell people is to put themselves in the shoes of someone who’s using this and think about what you would want to have done with your information or with your rights. Putting it in that context, I think, helps people think and get out of their head about it. Obviously there’s a lot of skill and a lot of experience that it takes to build these products and think about them in technical ways. But I also try to tell people that when you’re dealing with data and you’re building products, you’re a data steward. The data belongs to someone else, and you’re holding it for them, or you’re allowing them to either have access to it or leverage it in some way. So, think about yourself and what you would think you would want done with your information. - Debbie (3:28)   Privacy by design is looking at the fundamental levels of how people are creating things, and having them think about privacy as they’re doing that creation. When that happens, then privacy is not a difficult thing at the end. Privacy really isn’t something you could tack on at the end of something; it’s something that becomes harder if it’s not baked in. So, being able to think about those things throughout the process makes it easier. We’re seeing situations now where consumers are starting to vote with their feet — if they feel like a tool or a process isn’t respecting their privacy rights, they want to be able to choose other things. So, I think that’s just the way of the world. .... It may be a situation where you’re going to lose customers or market share if you’re not thinking about the rights of individuals. - Debbie (5:20)   I think diversity at all levels is important when it comes to data privacy, such as diversity in skill sets, points of view, and regional differences. … I think people in the EU — because privacy is a fundamental human right — feel about it differently than we do here in the US where our privacy rights don’t really kick in unless it’s a transaction. ...  The parallel I say is that people in Europe feel about privacy like we feel about freedom of speech here — it’s just very deeply ingrained in the way that they do things. And a lot of the time, when we’re building products, we don’t want to be collecting data or doing something in ways that would harm the way people feel about your product. So, you definitely have to be respectful of those different kinds of regimes and the way they handle data. … I’ll give you a biased example that someone had showed me, which was really interesting. There was a soap dispenser that was created where you put your hand underneath and then the soap comes out. It’s supposed to be a motion detection thing. And this particular one would not work on people of color. I guess whatever sensor they created, it didn’t have that color in the spectrum of what they thought would be used for detection or whatever. And so those are problems that happen a lot if you don’t have diverse people looking at these products. Because you — as a person that is creating products — you really want the most people possible to be able to use your products. I think there is an imperative on the economic side to make sure these products can work for everyone. - Debbie (17:31)   Transparency is the wave of the future, I think, because so many privacy laws have it. Almost any privacy law you think of has transparency in it, some way, shape, or form. So, if you’re not trying to be transparent with the people that you’re dealing with, or potential customers, you’re going to end up in trouble. - Debbie (24:35)    In my experience, while I worked with lawyers in the digital product design space — and it was heaviest when I worked at a financial institution — I watched how the legal and risk department basically crippled stuff constantly. And I say “cripple” because the feeling that I got was there’s a line between adhering to the law and then also—some of this is a gray area, like disclosure. Or, if we show this chart that has this information, is that construed as advice? I understand there’s a lot of legal regulation there. My feeling was, there’s got to be a better way for compliance departments and lawyers that genuinely want to do the right thing in their work to understand how to work with product design, digital design teams, especially ones using data in interesting ways. How do you work with compliance and legal when we’re designing digital products that use data so that it’s a team effort, and it’s not just like, “I’m going to cover every last edge because that’s what I’m here to do is to stop anything that could potentially get us sued.” There is a cost to that. There’s an innovation cost to that. It’s easier, though, to look at the lawyer and say, “Well, I guess they know the law better, so they’re always going to win that argument.” I think there’s a potential risk there. - Brain (25:01)   Trust is so important. A lot of times in our space, we think about it with machine learning, and AI, and trusting the model predictions and all this kind of stuff, but trust is a brand attribute as well and it’s part of the reason I think design is important because the designers tend to be the most empathetic and user-centered of the bunch. That’s what we’re often there to do is to keep that part in check because we can do almost anything these days with the tech and the data, and some of it’s like, “Should we do this?” And if we do do it, how do we do it so we’re on brand, and the trust is built, and all these other factors go into that user experience. - Brian (34:21)

Michael Simmons is an author who has done extensive research on the topic of accelerated change in the workplace. He studied the work of 10 different authors who had written on this issue of the acceleration of digital capitalism and the acceleration of time. Simmons spent over 100 hours reading these top 10 books and articles and provided a summary of all of them in his own article. In this episode, we are talking all about that article. We are discussing the conclusions Simmons came to after his research. I hope that this discussion will give all of us a feel for what we're looking at as leaders, as silver entrepreneurs, and as business leaders in the time to come.

The technology industry is home to an unacceptable paradox: the sector is both the epicenter of wealth creation and wealth disparity. This gap begins in the early stages of company-building, among venture capital-backed startups and the people who found, build and invest in them. People of color have largely been left out of this group. Changing that reality is the mission of career advancement nonprofit Management Leadership of Tomorrow (MLT), which works to put people of color in leadership positions. A major part of MLT’s work is dispelling the myth that the lack of diversity in the tech industry comes from a so-called pipeline problem of talented African American, Latinx and Native American science, engineering and computer science grads. In actuality, the problem is a network gap, which is why MLT and Greylock have recently launched a new partnership to accelerate change for POC in the venture and startup ecosystem. Additionally, MLT has established a fund to provide further financial resources, and the organization is also a limited partner in Greylock’s newest fund. MLT CEO and founder John Rice and Greylock general partner David Sze sat down with Greymatter to discuss the new partnership.

The last stop before it ends. If you wait until this phase to lead changes, the changes feel huge. You almost have to become a completely different church if you hope to ever return to sustained health as a ministry. From our research with 15,000+ churches, more than 85% self-identified as being on the declining side of the typical church life cycle before this crisis began. And more discouraging—17% landed in “life support,” the last stop before a church closes its doors permanently. Those churches are most susceptible to closing during normal circumstances, but in situations like we're experiencing now? Things go bad even faster.  In Part 3 of this conversation, Tony and Amy explore Life Support phase, sharing some of the warning signs to watch for and three options churches have when they find themselves here.

Keep people from leaving. That's the priority focus of churches in the Preservation phase of the typical church lifecycle. Churches in this phase put very little focus on reaching new people for Jesus, and there's a strong desire to “return to the good old days.”  Decision-making gets bogged down in multiple committees and divisive church boards, making it almost impossible to implement ministry changes. Financial decline leads to protecting turf, rather than investing in ministry initiatives to grow the church's Kingdom impact. Leaders tend to dwell on the problems, blaming those problems on things that are beyond their control (like a global pandemic, for example) rather than investing time and energy into solutions. Any of that sound familiar? In Part 2 of this conversation, Tony and Amy explore Preservation phase, and sharing some specific changes churches need to make—and that pastors need to personally lead—if they find themselves here during this season.

Google “Covid Accelerating Change.” It's happening everywhere—it's rapidly changing the workplace, our habits, digitization, how we connect and much more. Over the past few years, the Church has experienced a significant amount of change. And, like the rest of the world, the pandemic is accelerating these changes—falling in-person attendance, the use of online, fewer new people connecting, and more. In this episode, Tony and Amy dive into pre- and post-pandemic data, the characteristics of maintenance phase and why these accelerating trends are a way to discern God's direction for your ministry NOW.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub Frits van Paasschen, the former CEO of Starwood and Coors Brewing Company, and the author of The Disruptors Feast was good enough to sit down with us for the latest Compliance Perspectives podcast. In this discussion he begins by offering key insights into the very busy mind of the CEO, advising that a compliance officer should always try to be a provider of solutions, not just someone good at diagnosing problems. Board members, he warns, want people who can answer their questions.  It’s critical to be prepared to answer and help them connect the dots. And, speaking of connecting the dots, he also shares the patterns he sees in the business world, which is marked more by disruption, he argues, than most realize.  That’s true, he notes, even during more normal times. He advises that as technology accelerates change, compliance teams need to constantly ask:  what has changed and what has remained the same?  And, where there is change, it is essential to speak up, even if others are unprepared to hear what you have to say. That’s a very intriguing proposition and a conversation well worth listening to.

Bio: A Los Angeles native, Babak holds a clinical doctorate in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, where he also obtained a master's in organizational behavior. He is the originator of the moderative psychotherapy. Currently living in Portland, Oregon with his wife and children, he is in private practice at Integrative NW as a clinical and health psychologist. Babak is also a fiction author and, as Secret Arcade, a music artist. Babak's writing debuted in North American Review (“Fighting Fish”), and he was a finalist for a Glimmer Train award. His story “Glow,” published in Palo Alto Review, was deemed “flawless” and “brilliant” by Shenandoah literary review. His book, a dystopian psychological novel, A-Void, examines accelerating (exponential) change and information overload, and was selected as a Top Ten Book of 2018. Secret Arcade's debut electronic rock album, Quarter Century, skyrocketed on college radio. A popular docu-series on A&E/Lifetime recently offered him a role, but he turned it down to focus on his theory, his writing, his music, and his family. In this podcast, Babak Govan, PhD, MAOB, psychologist at Integrative NW, provides an overview of insomnia treatment, psychopathology, and more. Podcast Points: Could too much ‘bad' news in our daily feed be bringing on depression? Can insomnia be cured? Treatment options An overview of psychological issues Dr. Govan is actively engaged in helping people manage their anxiety and depression, ADHD, self-defeating behaviors, and substance abuse. Dr. Govan talks about his background and discusses health psychology, the interface of medical and psychological issues. Going deeper, Dr. Govan explains how his practice subspecializes in treating insomnia. Dr. Govan explains just how common depression is today in America, and he discusses the various sociogenic factors that may be exacerbating the rise in depression cases nationally. Dr. Govan discusses tools to manage psychological issues, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, but he stresses that cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT, is only one possible avenue for treatment. The PhD elaborates on the importance of limiting our negative influencers, such as the preponderance of negative news that is seemingly always breaking. He discusses his thoughts on the relative impact of modern technology that delivers news 24/7, and ways we can limit our exposure to negative influences. Continuing, the doctor discusses the concept of loneliness, and how technology may be severely disconnecting us. Dr. Govan talks about the kinds of clients they work with. He discusses the problem of insomnia, which can be a psychodynamic, deeper issue. He discusses abrupt insomnia versus cases in which people have had chronic sleep problems for a long period, and how the latter understand that it could be a long term issue for them to solve over time. Dr. Govan reiterates the importance of taking control of the environments in which we exist. He talks about time management, as well as journalistic errors, and how so often in our modern society, things fall through the cracks. Wrapping up, Dr. Govan provides information on the specific types of cases they deal with at Integrative NW, and how they seek to help people manage their many and varied issues.

In the second webinar of this series from Accelerating Change, we explored the topic Any Problem on Any Scale. We explore how no matter the scale, the source of change is the same: If we work from the human dimension and from the perspective our mind and our interconnectedness, all change becomes easier. If we ignore our minds, everything becomes harder. The mind is the thing that softens change, and the good news is, it doesn't matter how BIG the problem seems. We will explore this phenomenon all the way from the personal to the global!You can listen to this podcast or watch the videoversion on youtube. If you want to go in depth in this subject, you can join our online course here: https://onesolutionglobal.org/accelerate/The next recording will give you some real life examples, of what we discussed in this webinar, so we hope you look forward to that!The One Solution Team 

This is the audio recording of a webinar series about Accelerating Change. In the first recording of of this 3-part series, we explored the topic The Human Mind and the World, which is what our first module of Accelerating Change is all about. You can get a sense of it by listening the recording of the webinar, or take a much deeper dive in the full online course, which has 7 separate video lessons that explore: The mind is the source of the state of the world (not a symptom of it), All humans construct their own unique version of reality Beyond our differences, we are all one Resilience is innate to all life, and We can't escape the fact that we all have unique minds, but we can understand it.  Understanding the mind is the key to making change in the world.The link to the online course is:https://onesolutionglobal.org/accelerate/

(Subscribe here)This is an experiment. For a number of years, people have been asking me to provide audio versions of the essays that I post on the blog. I've been reluctant to do this up until now, but I have recently become a fan of the audio format and I appreciate its conveniences. Also, I watched an interview with Michael Lewis (the best-selling non-fiction author in the world) just this week where he suggested that audio essays might be the future of the essay format. So, in an effort to jump ahead of the curve (or at least jump onto the curve before it pulls away from me), I'm going to post a few audio essays over the coming months.They will all be based on stuff I've previously published on the blog, with a few minor edits and updates. I'll send them out on the regular podcast feed (which you can subscribe to in various formats here). I'm learning as I go. The quality and style will probably evolve over time, and I'm quite keen on getting feedback from listeners too. Do you like this kind of thing or would you prefer I didn't do it?This first audio essay is based on something I previously wrote on the moral problem of accelerating change. You can find the original essay here.

This week it's a deep dive into futurist Stowe Boyd's research on Social Scaling, Boundless Curiosity, Deep Generalists, Emergent Leadership, and other major features in the metamorphic landscape of the 21st Century workplace.We live in an age when our human cognitive limits are being tested against a proliferation of possibilities in the digital space – and we zealously rush into always-on internet work, open office co-working spaces, enormous distributed online collaborations, and other novelties that seem to be more about the infinite capacity of our electronic tools than the finite reality of our minds and bodies.Stowe Boyd has been studying and reporting on the future of work for over a decade, and his blog Work Futures is one of my cherished news sources for understanding how “we shape our tools and then our tools shape us.” Talking with him is a blast of cool reason and warm humor about the insanity of the modern work environment and the impossible demands that it makes on us – pointing toward more lucid, grounded, manageable, and yes productive new modes of labor in the dizzying technological milieus to come.Learn More:StoweBoyd.comWorkFutures.orgCheck out a recent edition of his Work Futures newsletter:https://workfutures.substack.com/p/work-futures-daily-the-human-springSupport Future Fossils on Patreon and get access to secret episodes, our sci fi book club, and more:https://patreon.com/michaelgarfieldWe Discuss:Invented the term “social tools” and founded the Work Futures blog.How do we live in an unstable landscape in which new platforms are constantly replacing the ones where we’ve established merit and earned currencies?The return of publishing to human scale as a response to ubiquitous weaponized advertising.Book: Douglas Rushkoff, Present ShockThe modern era of social networking isn’t about social concerns but business concerns…human curation returns to the fore in its primacy: newsletters, list management, etc.Why is it that certain tools and practices “work” for work, and some don’t?How certain ill-conceived collaboration software recreates the scaling problems of cruiseship tourism’s effects on local economies.Anywhere-ism and “The horrible sameness of the places we’re working these days”The paradox of blocking out open-office distractions with recordings of people talking in cafés.“If you want to be creative, turn the lights down.

In today's episode, we continue our look at the Americas, this time focusing on the Thirteen British Colonies that would make up the United States of America. We look at New England and its formation, then the Middle Colonies and the Southern Colonies. We examine the First Great Awakening and the colonial wars including the French and Indian War (or Seven Years War). All of this would lead to a revolution in the British colonies and a Second Great Awakening, during which the Church of Jesus Christ would be organized.

Part 1 of 2, we take a look at the conquest of the Americas by European explorers and settlers, including Columbus' voyages, Cortez' conquest of the Aztecs, Pizarro's conquest of the Incas, the Spanish colonies in South and Central America, the Portuguese colony of Brazil, the French and Dutch colonies, and the English colony of Jamestown, along with five major wars between the native peoples and the British colonists.

We (finally) wrap up the Great Apostasy in Europe, with the Age of Exploration, the Church during the Renaissance, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, religious wars, the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, Romanticism, and finally, the political climate in Europe during and following the French Revolution. All of this serves to provide a European context for the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ.

This week we're joined by Doug Farr, President of Farr Associates and author of the new book Sustainable Nation. Doug chats about the arrangement of the book by different patterns of urbanism and how we can take a bottom up approach to change our cities. He also chats about the forced boredom of the Burning Man festival and why Alexis de Tocqueville's 1835 work Democracy in America is still relevant today. 

If you have not been following the great leap forward that the American Medical Association (AMA) has made over the past 5 years, then you’ve been missing out on something quite spectacular.  It’s phenomenal, and phenomenally told to us by the President-elect of the AMA, Dr Barbara McAneny.What you’ll discover in this interview is that the current AMA is not your father’s or mother’s AMA.  This is a bold organization that is attempting to launch the profession into the future. The breathtaking strategic initiatives and dramatic progress you’ll hear about may represent the largest inflection in the AMA’s history since the Flexner Report transformation over a century ago.  And, Dr. McAneny is, in her own right, an impressive & inspiring example of leadership. She has distinguished herself many times over as a community-based oncologist, as well as a leader on the national healthcare scene.Here are a just a few snippets of the many forward thinking trajectories that you’ll hear Dr. McAneny expound upon in this interview:People want health and are not necessarily interested in healthcare, so the AMA has been focusing on improving health outcomes through the creation of their “innovation ecosystem” network.Patient outcomes are affected as much by their zip code as by the quality of the healthcare we offer; so it’s critically important to understand, measure and intervene on the social determinants of health.Medical care is no longer just an individual clinical endeavour, and will require highly collaborative partnering which combines medical science with digital technology, health economics, analytics and an understanding of patient behavior and socioeconomic factors…In this episode, Dr. McAnaney will also describe three major strategic arcs the AMA is focused on:First - the AMA’s (moonshot) “innovation ecosystem” network - a broad expanse of initiatives and highly progressive partnerships the AMA has engaged in to radically improve healthcare and health outcomes.  It’s astounding to hear the sheer number of highly collaborative partnerships the AMA has formed with start-ups, accelerators, venture capitalists, tech developers & other organizations - in order to bring the physician sensibility to the development of new health technologies & digital technologies.  The AMA has begun to act like an innovation convener - proactively partnering with companies such as IBM Watson, GE, Intel, the Scripps Institute, Partners Center for Connected Health, Intermountain Healthcare and Omada Health.Second - the AMA’s strategy to transform medical education by creating “the medical school of the future”.   In this initiative - the ‘Accelerating Change in Medical Education’ Consortium - they’ve funded medical schools to create forward-facing curriculum and training programs.  The goal is to create the ‘physician of the future’ - not only knowledgeable in the science & art of medicine, but also steeped in the science & art of management, leadership and systems thinking.  At present there are over 30 medical schools involved, collectively representing a quarter of all medical students in this country.Third - the AMA’s focus on physician burnout and sustainability.  Approximately 50% of physicians are burnt out according to numerous studies; and physicians daily spend over an hour on burdensome administrative work for every hour of direct patient contact.  Dr. McAnaney emphasizes that it’s hugely wasteful and demoralizing to have the most highly trained and costly human resource in healthcare function as data clerks for hours each day. Of note and underscoring this point, HHS Secretary Alex Azar recently stated, “Its the patients who suffers when a provider spends more time reporting quality measures than delivering quality care”. Dr. McAneny compellingly advocates for the removal of these and other stressors, as a way to reduce physician burnout and improve healthcare.  I came away from this interview with a renewed appreciation and admiration for the AMA and its mission; and with a profound respect and gratitude for the vision, integrity and selfless commitment that Dr. McAneny has manifested throughout her career.Dr. McAneny shares numerous pearls of wisdom throughout the interview - transformational inflections that you’ll want to listen to - likely, more than once. As always, I hope you get as much out of this as I have!Zeev

Many people God uses today do NOT have their act together. In this podcast teaching we will discuss: ~ Love languages ~ ~ Leadership ~ ~ The SECRET of engagement ~ ~ Warnings for YOUR success ~ You're about to make a quantum leap―a mega paradigm change―in the way you THINK and INTERACT. Great rewards are ahead for you with unlimited productivity. Welcome to your victorious new beginning! _____________________________________ YOUR GREATEST CONTRIBUTION IN LIFETHE SECRET OF ENGAGEMENT~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~ "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you."John 13:15 "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Mark 10:45 Nothing has the power to break selfishness more than service. What IF this were your last night with family or friends? It was Jesus' last night with his followers … before He would go to the cross and pay for their―and our―sins. Remember He knew: Judas would betray Him; Peter would deny Him; and, The other 10 would bail on Him. But did He scold them … or whip them? No! He washed their feet. Let's reflect a little bit on the infrastructure of that day. There was NO sewer system in Jerusalem. Cows and animals roamed the streets. Many people threw their own personal sewage out the windows at night (still do in some countries). Human waste and animal feces were covering the streets. What do you imagine the disciples feet smelled―and looked―like??? Yet, Jesus clothed himself around the waste with a towel and washed their feet. (Remember … He knew HOW they were going to fail Him the next day.) It's interesting to note that there is NO archaeological evidence of any leader anywhere―at anytime―washing anyone's feet. "So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?”John 13:12 "Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God ..." John 13:3 Washing feet―in the Biblical sense―is NOT just a sanitary procedure, nor is it a religious observance (although some churches, such as The Brethren, still practice it today). But, you can see from the historical context (no sewer system in Jerusalem at that time) that it was really a service of sacrifice. What an example! I want to expand on our concept of service here to include group service: that is, non-profit corporations and ministry associates: group service to the needy. Already, you may be thinking, “I'm not really ready―at this time―to serve in such a radical way.” Or, you may be thinking, “I really want to get involved more with “in depth” service to the needy; however, I don't think my group of fellow asociates is ready.” If so, I will share a tool that may help you. First of all, true spirituality is seeing a need and meeting it. To help you mobilize your group, I recommend the 8-Step Process for Leading Change by Dr. John Kotter. Over four decades, Dr. Kotter observed countless leaders and organizations as they were trying to transform or execute their strategies. He identified and extracted the success factors and combined them into a methodology, the award-winning 8-Step Process for Leading Change. You can also download an eBook for Accelerating Change on the website above. This may help you get your group moving as you prayerfully identify needs you want to address in your community, nation or the world. BUT remember … NO amount of physical drive―no matter HOW intense OR well meaning―can bring wholeness, healing or deliverance apart from the resurrection power of Jesus provided by the Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD'S AGENT ON EARTH TO SUPPLY THE RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS To lead like Jesus you have to serve like Jesus (this includes kneeling down and getting dirty). Jesus knew He was sent by God … and going back to God … but He was willing to get dirty in service. (He didn't even take a “selfie!”) You may be deciding right now that you would like to make a major impact in the world―YOUR VICTORIOUS NEW BEGINNING―but you're NOT sure that your followers (or, associates) would like to do so. By the way, you may not have a “group” yet, but after this teaching you will GROW a powerful group of associates in the future: People Changing Nations! To help you with change management, I recommend Lewin's Change Management Model. Kurt Lewin, a physicist as well as a social scientist, explained organizational change using the analogy of changing the shape of a block of ice. The concept of "change management" is a familiar one today. But how ministries and prophetic triage groups manage change (and how successful they are at it) varies enormously depending on the nature of the ministry, the change … and the people involved. And a key part of this depends on how well people within it understand the change process. All too often, people go into change blindly, causing much unnecessary turmoil and chaos. Prepare yourself for what is coming and make a plan to manage the transition. Motivation for change must be generated before change can occur. The LORD will use this teaching to multiply and amplify your ministry of service!   What does a Prophet look like? Service in LOVE can produce powerful results. Many times we can―if we are discerning―serve through language. It's interesting to note that unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation; Quality Time; Receiving Gifts; Acts of Service; and, Physical Touch. Excuses we use NOT to serve. I'm unqualified; I'm too busy; They don't need me; or, It's beneath me. Speaking of the latter item above: “It's beneath me,” there's a church I attend when I'm free. We baptized around 2,000 people the first six months of this year. There's a well known surgeon who attends … and every week he is in the kitchen flipping burgers. There's also a lady who is well known and very influential (she is a Cabinet member of the President), and every weekend she serves in the nursery taking care of―serving and loving―two year olds. This requires her to fly back and forth from the Washington, D.C. Beltway every weekend. Reflect on this. Have you ever had these thoughts? I know what I should do. I don't always want to do it. I'd like something in return. Why I should serve. Serving is NOT something you do. It's WHO you are! "Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest." Luke 22;24 A life lived for YOU is a wasted life. (Even if you go to Heaven!) "But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23;11 When you act more like Jesus, you'll experience more of Him. YOUR GREATEST CONTRIBUTION IN THIS LIFE WILL NOT BE SOMETHING YOU DO … BUT SOMEONE YOU SERVE God is forming a special group for you to lead. Has God given you a great victory, even used you to help people tremendously, and then you found that someone … maybe a Christian leader that was helped … was jealous of you, hated you? Our beloved brother John wrote: “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (I John 3:15) David, the shepherd warrior, found himself in such a position. King Saul became jealous of him after David had slain Goliath to the point where Saul had even become overtaken by a demon power. Saul was hunting David to kill him. “David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's house heard of it, they went down there to him. And everyone in DISTRESS, and everyone that was in DEBT, and everyone that was DISCONTENTED gathered themselves to him; and David became a captain over them; and there were with him about 400 men.” (1 Samuel 22:1) I call this “God's 3-D Group.” God assembled a group of men together (later, it grew to 600) who had one of the following conditions: Distress Debt Discontent The dictionary defines “stress” as “a state of mental, emotional, or other strain.” Whereas, “distress” is defined as “extreme anxiety or suffering.” The Hebrew word for “distress” is “matsoq” and means “a narrow place, confinement, disability, or anguish,” and so gives the picture of being “mentally confined, disabled, or experiencing mental anguish.” You can lead people prophetically. God brought together a group of people to help David who were either in mental anguish or disability, being harassed for debts, or bitter and irritated … or any of the above. God used David to help these men by engaging them in service to others (for example: protecting Nabal and his livestock; fighting Israel's enemies). And, God used this band of men―a special group―to later help David obtain his rightful place, one for which God had already anointed him, as King of Israel. David was a shepherd-warrior. As a teenager he had to fight a lion and a bear to protect his flock. I have met warriors in nomadic regions where I have ministered in Africa: the Turkana, Samburu, and Masei. I knew a 14 year old who became a warrior by killing a lion with his spear and knife. A true shepherd is also a warrior. He or she must protect their flock. And, one way to do this is prophetically: by decreeing defeat and confusion into the ranks of the enemy … by decreeing in the Name of Jesus protection and blessing and success in the lives of your followers. But … learn, also, to decree international BIG THINGS that will be done through the POWER of the Holy Spirit: End-Time Spirit Invasions into nations and cultures. Let God take care of the numbers. Do NOT be concerned about the statistics. Just minister prophetically in the POWER of the Holy Spirit as God leads you. I think the greatest ministry we have many times is behind closed doors in our prayer closet. Our service engagements are actually forged in the future―in the foundry of the Holy Ghost―because of prayer and prophetic decrees. When I lived on the streets preaching in the open air I would always find a place to pray over a map of the world that I carried with me. I now have seven children, and my baby girl―at the age of four―would pray for nations on a map of the world on the floor, and weep tears while praying in tongues over the nations. As I look back, almost ALL of the things I wanted to do for God have been accomplished … so I had to set new and higher goals. Some of the people I was able to help now have churches of 10,000. One young college student who used to come to my Bible Studies―and with whom I had the privilege of praying for the Baptism in the Holy Spirit (evidenced by speaking in tongues)―personally (NOT in group meetings) prayed with 170,336 people to receive Christ in 32 years. [He kept a diary.] Go do what you have to do: serve whom … and where … you feel led to serve. Above all: be yourself. Do NOT fall prey to imitational faith. Don't worry about your situation today. God is forming a special “3-D Group” just for you: a special group to rule in His Kingdom. This special group of people will help YOU experience victory and will share with you in possessing the land. This will be a group of people who knows true leadership … and who realizes that ultimate direction, blessing, and protection come only from God. They will have experienced these―direction, blessing, and protection―first hand in battle as you lead them. They will be driven into close fellowship with you as their leader in hard times … and they, like you, will never fall for “less than best” again! You can serve others by getting them into the land and engaging their enemy. Joshua was Moses’ Chief Aide and military leader; he became Israel’s leader after Moses’ death. Joshua led the people across the Jordan and into the promised land. Seven (7) nations were destroyed in the land. After the conquest of the land by the children of Israel, the land was divided among the tribes of Israel. There were tremendous MIRACLES in Joshua’s day: The crossing of Jordan; The fall of Jericho; and, The sun standing still. NOTE: All these miracles had to do with getting God’s people into the land and driving out the enemy! They were involved in God’s plan and purpose! If you're involved in God's PLAN and PURPOSE, God will do GREAT MIRACLES for and through you! IF YOUR PLANS FIT INTO GOD'S PLANS YOU WILL HAVE GOD'S FAITH AND GOD'S FAITH ALWAYS WORKS Remember: The KEY to the Old Testament: "A record of a nation designed to bring forth a Man (the Messiah of God)." The KEY of the New Testament is: "A record of a Man (the Messiah of God) designed to bring forth a nation (the people of God)." "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." ‒ I John 3:8 Your job is the same as Joshua’s. To go into new territory and conquer for the Lord; to destroy the works of the devil in the name of Messiah Jesus; and then to divide the land (inheritance) among God’s people. You might ask, "How do I divide the land among God’s people?" Here’s your answer, "By teaching them their authority in Christ―WHO they are in Christ and WHAT they have in Christ―by teaching them HOW you conquered, and sharing the blessings you have received, so they will know HOW to win! To lead in service, seek God's advice and follow it: exactly! Moses led over 3,000,000 people through the wilderness. Multiply the male census (603,550) by 2 (allowing each man a wife) = 1,200,000 and then figure 3 children (minimum) for every family (3 X 600,000 = 1,800,000). Whenever a major problem arose, he prayed and talked to God about it before he took action. The one time he acted foolishly―when he did not take God’s advice―cost him earthly blessings. He became angry so that he "hit" the rock instead of "speaking" to it. Forty years before, God had told him to HIT the rock and water would come out for the people to drink. However, near the end of the wilderness wanderings, when the people were complaining over thirst again, God told him only to SPEAK to the rock and water would come out. Moses became angry and―even though the fault was with the people he was leading―the Bible says: "he spoke UNADVISEDLY with his lips". (He called them a bunch of rebels.) As a result, Moses was NOT allowed by God to go into the Promised Land. He went to Heaven but missed a great earthly reward. Read Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:1-13; and Psalm 106:32-33. Make sure YOUR PLAN fits into GOD'S PLAN. Seek God's advice and follow it: exactly! Teach people their authority in Christ. (Divide the land among God's people.) Send your followers out to do NEW works! WARNING: If you're not sure, then don't. As you move into the arena of service―and particularly as you start engaging needy people and needy areas with success―you will become a threat to the enemy. As communities and society witness your help, healing and deliverance of needy sectors, they will focus on your message of love and power through the Lord Jesus. This is when you need to be on guard concerning decision making. Do NOT make rash decisions. This is one of the greatest lessons I have learned in life. Stay in the “peace” zone. When you feel pressured to do something―if you do NOT have peace about it―WAIT! Do NOT go forward. It is better to be in peace―to stay in the “peace zone”―than to go ahead … even if it looks good. This can be a trick of the enemy to get you in bondage and mental duress. Pray about the situation. Do NOT let people―even friends―coerce you or persuade you to take action if you do not have peace about the situation. I promised God one time that I would never do anything―or take action concerning anything―that I was NOT sure about. If I had a question about the situation, or if I did NOT have peace, I promised God that I would NOT go forward. The reason I made this promise to God was that I got into a very difficult, and emotionally trying, situation as a result of a speedy … or rash … decision. Lots of times people are emotionally distressed because of such uncertain behavior: going ahead of God! Nothing can bind you if you will follow your heart and listen to God! And if you need some help with direction, here are some Scriptures for you: Psalm 27:11 Jeremiah 42:3 I Kings 19:9-12 Isaiah 30:21 My friend, you can't meet every need on earth … but YOU can meet the ones God instructs you to meet. Stop … Look … Listen! TRUE SPIRITUALITY IS SEEING A NEED AND MEETING IT Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

On the podcast this week, we discuss the state of narrative in a world where technological change is accelerating. We start with William Gibson’s now decade-old attempt to write recent-past rather than near-future speculative work and continue to talk about the perceived rise in period, future and ambiguous time periods in contemporary films and novels.
