It seems to be commonly held among scholars that the so-called monarchical episcopate (i.e. the system of having one bishop governing a city church with presbyters working with him) was not apostolic and did not come to Rome until the late second century or even later. That is the opinion of scholars such as Alistair Stewart (in his commentary Hippolytus: On the Apostolic Tradition), Brent Allen (in his Hippolytus and the Roman Church in the Third Century), and others such as the late great J.N.D. Kelly. By this figuring the Christians in Rome had no one leader who spoke for all of them, but were divided into a number of self-governing communities with different leaders described by various titles. A single leader who could speak for all the communities in Rome only arose in the late second century (with Bishop Victor) or the early third century (with Bishop Pontianus). Writers such as Irenaeus who asserted there were such singular leaders and bishops in Rome from the days of the apostles were, according to this theory, anachronistically projecting back a later system into an earlier time. It also follows therefore that the document known as the Apostolic Tradition, ascribed to Hippolytus and dating from the early third century, cannot be taken as evidence of a monepiscopate in Rome at that time, but must be regarded as the result of extensive redaction. What are we to make of this? Need we dump that section of Irenaeus' work?

This week's guest on "So What You're Saying Is...", is journalist and education campaigner Toby Young. Toby is one of Britain's best-known journalists. Now writing for The Spectator and Quilette, he founded a magazine called The Modern Review and also wrote for Vanity Fair. His best--selling book, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People", was later made into a film. He's also a champion for free schools and has founded 4 of them. His latest project is the Free Speech Union, a mass membership organisation dedicated to protecting free speech, which is increasingly under threat. The F.S.U. will be a mass membership organisation that stands up for the speech rights of its members and aims to create a more tolerant atmosphere on social media and other platforms. So if a member is targetted by a social media outrage mob for the inadvertent use of certain language, a taboo word or for dissenting from the prevailing orthodoxy, the FSU will mobilise on social media and its members will come to their defence on social media. If they are accused of something, the member will be put through some form of due process to check the evidence so that they aren't just presumed to be guilty and cast out as Sir Roger Scruton was when George Eaton of The New Statesman passed incorrect information out via social media, which led to a campaign of hate against Scruton, ultimately resulting in Sir Roger losing his position as a Government adviser. The way in which veteran ITN journalist Alistair Stewart was treated & fired is another example -- as was Toby Young's own experience at the hands of a social media mob.
The reason all owners are in business should be primarily to create value for themselves. The way they create value for themselves is by creating value for customers. One way to do that is by productivity acceleration. Productivity is accelerated by understanding non-value-added activities and stop doing them. That frees up a tremendous quantity of resources, time, cash, and physical space to focus on delivering customer value. This is a deep dive continuation with Sean Hutchinson, CEO/Partner with SVA Value Accelerators and Alistair Stewart, the Manufacturing Practice Leader, also with SVA Value Accelerators. This continuation is where we’re going to dig deeper and talk about productivity acceleration. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast here: Productivity Acceleration Detailed with CEO/Partner Sean Hutchinson and Alistair Stewart SVA Value Accelerators Creating The Path To Higher Valuation with CEO/Partner Sean Hutchinson and Alistair Stewart This is a deep dive continuation with Sean Hutchinson, CEO/Partner with SVA Value Accelerators (http://buildvaluetoday.com/) and Alistair Stewart, the Manufacturing Practice Leader, also with SVA Value Accelerators. This continuation of the episode is where we’re going to dig deeper and talk about productivity acceleration. I appreciate it. Thanks so much for taking the time. Thanks. It’s great to be with you. Let’s talk a little bit about what productivity acceleration is. We can think about productivity as the effectiveness of the productive effort. It’s measured by the rate of output per unit. What does accelerating mean? That means making it happen quicker. The reason all owners are in business should be primarily to create value for themselves. The way they create value for themselves is by creating value for customers. Here’s an example. Imagine that an owner staples a new order to their back, the next customer order…every time they shake somebody’s hand, every time they meet somebody, every time they wait for somebody, every time they wait for something, every time something has to go back to be redone, checking and rechecking all those activities, are what we call “non-value-added” steps. If you start to look at the operations of a typical company, and most owners are going to be shocked if they are reading this for the first time, about 95% of all activities do not create customer value. To create customer value, an activity has to pass a classic three-part test. An activity, has to be done right the first time; It has to change the form fit or function if it’s a tangible product or has to deliver a service that otherwise wouldn’t happen or it has to convert data into information or knowledge, changing the form fit or function of something. The last and best of the three parts of the acid test is the customer must be willing to pay for it. Again, imagine a hypothetical owner stapling him or herself to an order that halfway through that order has to go back to the preceding step because we are missing some information. We’re not exactly sure if the customer wanted it in blue or in black. We go back and we find that the sales guy wrote down B in the color box. That was all non-value-added activity. We’re going to break that out as a line item on the invoice to the customer. Checking what color you ordered. You told us loud and clear what color you ordered. We didn’t understand. We didn’t write it down. We didn’t record it. No customer is going to pay that. All of these little activities that are pervasive in every organization are death by a thousand cuts, and productivity is hurt.. Productivity is accelerated by understanding non-value-added activities and stopping doing them. That frees up a tremendous quantity of resources, time, cash and physical space to focus on delivering customer value. Think about the activities that...
When we say higher valuation, many business owners focus more on profits than actually looking into the threats to earning those profits. Sean Hutchinson and Alistair Stewart of SVA Value Accelerators talk about the importance of risk reduction. Together, they lay down the five categories of risks out there for business owners to consider: strategic, compliance, operational, financial, and reputational risk. They present situations and solutions that could help you picture out how to overcome them. They also talk about whether owners are aware of these risks while discussing a de-risked company versus a risky company and the value gap between them. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: Rapid Risk Reduction Methodology Detailed: Creating The Path To Higher Valuation with CEO/Partner Sean Hutchinson SVA Value Accelerators and Alistair Stewart Creating The Path To Higher Valuation with CEO/Partner Sean Hutchinson Risks are the consequences of an action, an event that is reasonably likely to undermine or threaten goals or objectives that have been determined. There are things you can do or stop doing to increase enterprise value that are counter-intuitive and will increase the value of your business. We’re doing a deep dive continuation with Sean Hutchinson, CEO, and Partner with SVA Value Accelerators (http://buildvaluetoday.com/) and Alistair Stewart. He’s the Manufacturing Practice Leader from SVA Value Accelerators. We’re going to dig deeper and we’re going to talk about rapid risk reduction. Alistair, let us know. Risks are out there in a variety of categories and most business owners and people working in the business become a little desensitized to them. You can think of risks as being in a broad spectrum of categories. Strategic risk, compliance risk, operational risk, financial risk, and reputational risk. Those are five broad categories. We can also consider that risks exist within a business and risks exist outside of a business. If we look at how businesses are valued. If we look at the worth of a business, it’s pretty obvious to financial investors and pretty opaque to owners and employees that reducing risk represents a tremendous opportunity to increase the value of a business, particularly the transferable value of a business. We can look at say strategic risk. Strategic risk is something that threatens the outcomes that a business has chosen to pursue. There’s a little bit of an eye-opener there. Are we choosing our outcomes? Do we understand the threats that compromise our ability to realize those outcomes? What might those risks, those threats be? We can go down the list of compliance if that matters to the industry that you’re in, operational, financial and reputational. A fairly straightforward discussion on those topics will reveal a tremendous amount of business value, of enterprise value, that’s threatened by inattention to these existential matters. In these three categories of how to increase the value of the business, increasing earnings, reducing risk and increasing marketability, those broad categories, a lot of business owners and their teams are going to focus on increasing earnings as an instinctual way to increase the value of a business. That’s understandable. That’s where a lot of resources go. When we see that big category of things that you have to do to reduce risk or should do, could do or will do, less attention is typically paid to those things. They can have a dramatic effect immediately on the economic enterprise value, transferable enterprise value, and we can add value. What people need to realize, what owners might tune in on here, is that we can add value to our business pretty dramatically without adding $1 of revenue or $1 of profit. Those things in the beginning of the value acceleration process have less effect on value. In fact, they may...

They live in the heart of the Shire, they're the team behind TOWIG (The Only Way Is Garioch), but filmmakers Alstair Stewart and Andrew Forbes are saving hard to buy the gear that will take their projects to the next level. That's in today's IADF podcast. If you have a great script then that's half the battle," says filmmaker Alistair Stewart, from Inverurie, who runs Reel Moon Productions with friend Andrew Forbes. The pair are working and saving to make money to buy equipment that will help them improve the production quality of their films.They've bought the Canon EOS 550D, one of the Canon DSLRs that are proving so popular among indie filmmakers around the world. That improves their video footage.Next on their shopping list is an audio recorder. Anyone who uses a DSLR knows that you have to record sound on a separate device to get the best audio results.Along with that there are the cables and boom pole to support the mic.And then there's the tripod."When you are doing a [tripod] pan you can hear a nice..creakkkkkkk!" laughs Alistair, making a mental note to add a tripod to their shopping list.However most pressing for the two filmmakers is to find someone with skills to operate and work behind the camera while Alistair's in front.They need volunteer(s) to help with all sorts of production work. You'll get a sandwich for your time (they reassured me!).They're jumping through hoops to make their productions work as best they can: TOWIG, Dream Girl and Tagged.Wouldn't it be great if a big-hearted local business offered a couple of hundred quid to pay for an audio recorder or a tripod to help Alistair and Andrew out.So, lads, start knocking on doors and see what help is out there.'If you don't ask, you don't get,' my ex-wife used to say to me.Find Reel Moon Productions here:FacebookYou Tube
Dream Girl is a production written and directed by Andrew Forbes and Alistair Stewart: the two young filmmakers behind Reel Moon Productions - and the same pair behind The Only Way is Garioch (see previous post). They gave this interview for the IADF podcast at March's Aberdeen Actors and Directors networking evening in the Belmont Cinema, Aberdeen. They've got plenty of enthusiasm, but have they got the staying power to get through pre-, production and post-, without going bananas? I'll catch up with them thorughout the year and check on their sanity. Good luck to you both. Find out more about their productions on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/reelmoonproductions And, of course, the networking evening is all thanks to Kim Templeton and Jamie Rodden of Aberdeen Launch PAD: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aberdeen-Launch-PAD/376315115712311 Read more about Andrew and Alistair on the IADF webpage: http://www.iamdofilmmaker.co.uk
