Podcasts about building consensus

We are honoured to bring to Accidental Gods, a recording of three of our generation's leading thinkers in conversation at the Festival of Debate in Sheffield, hosted by Opus. This is an unflinching conversation, but it's absolutely at the cutting edge of imagineering: this lays out where we're at and what we need to do, but it also gives us roadmaps to get there:  It's genuinely Thrutopian, not only in the ideas as laid out, but the emotional literacy of the approach to the wicked problems of our time.  Now we have to make it happen. Kate Raworth is a renegade economist, author of the groundbreaking book, Doughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 21st Century Economist and founder of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab which is seeing companies, cities and nations around the world working towards an economy that prioritises flourishing of people and planet ahead of growth for growth's sake.  Kate is a Senior Teaching Fellow at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute, where she teaches on the Masters in Environmental Change and Management. She is also Professor of Practice at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.Indy Johar is an architect, co-founder of 00 on behalf of which he cofounded  multiple social ventures from Impact Hub Westminster to Impact Hub Birmingham. He has also co-led research projects such as The Compendium for the Civic Economy, whilst supporting several 00 explorations/experiments including the wikihouse.cc, opendesk.cc.  More recently he  founded Dark Matter Labs - a field laboratory focused building the institutional infrastructures for radicle civic societies, cities, regions and towns. Dark Matter works with institutions around the world, from UNDP (Global), Climate Kic, McConnell (Canada), to the Scottish Gove to Bloxhub (Copenhagen). Indy has taught at various institutions from the University of Bath, TU-Berlin; Architectural Association, University College London, Princeton, Harvard, MIT and New School. James Lock is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Opus Independents Ltd, a not-for-profit social enterprise, working in culture, politics and the arts. Opus works to encourage and support participation, systemic activism and creativity with project strands that include Now Then Magazine & App, Festival of Debate. Opus Distribution, the River Dôn Project and Wordlife.  James was on the podcast quite recently - in episode #279 - and we talked about the upcoming Festival of Debate and the fact that, amongst many other outstanding conversations, he'd be talking with Kate and Indy who are easily up their in my pantheon of modern intentional gods.  Afterwards, James and I discussed the possibility of our bringing the recording of that conversation to the podcast - and here we are.  Enjoy!Opus Independents https://www.weareopus.org/Festival of Debate https://festivalofdebate.com/Kate Raworth https://www.kateraworth.com/Doughnut Economics Action Lab https://doughnuteconomics.org/Doughnut Economics book https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Kate-Raworth/Doughnut-Economics--Seven-Ways-to-Think-Like-a-21st-Century-Economist/21739630Indy Johar https://about.me/indy.joharIndy's blog at DML https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.orgDark Matter Labs https://darkmatterlabs.org/Indy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/indy-johar-b440b010/Indy on Substack https://indyjohar.substack.com/James Lock on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-lock-964a8014/Rob Shorter of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab on Accidental Gods #41 https://accidentalgods.life/doughnut-economics-action-lab/Indy on Accidental Gods #205 https://accidentalgods.life/becoming-intentional-gods-claiming-the-future-with-indy-johar-of-the-dark-matter-labs/James on Accidental Gods #279 https://accidentalgods.life/now-then-building-networks-of-citizen-power-with-james-lock-of-opus-in-sheffield/What we offer - Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership.

Episode 65 of What Gives?—the Jewish philanthropy podcast from Jewish Funders Network, hosted by JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny. In this episode, we speak with William Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. With decades of experience navigating Washington and Jerusalem, William offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the Conference builds consensus across a coalition of 50 diverse Jewish organizations. We explore the delicate balance between public statements and quiet diplomacy, how Jewish communal leaders respond to rising antisemitism on campus, and what it means to represent a politically diverse Jewish community in times of division and crisis. William shares his personal journey from grassroots political campaigns to the highest levels of Jewish leadership, and the lessons he's learned about relationship-building, advocacy, and the surprising power of passionate moderation. Take a listen.

With extreme weather and deadly disasters dominating headlines, the issue of climate change is a vital issue in the 2024 election. The majority of Americans believe there is human-caused climate change affecting our lives and fear for future impacts. The issue raises a range of perspectives on how to tackle the problem among the candidates running for higher office. If the majority of us are united on this issue, how do we have better discourse to find productive solutions? In this interview, Benji Backer shares his experience building consensus among conservatives and liberals to make progress on climate change.In this conversation, Benji highlights some of the bipartisan climate legislation that has passed in the United States in recent history. He talks about how the American Conservation Coalition and other partners have led the way to help lawmakers prioritize the environment and climate issues. Benji goes on to discuss where climate change ranks in importance for voters, where people can get useful information about climate politics, and he even talks about how artificial intelligence anxiety is supplanting climate change as a political issue. Benji Backer is President and Founder of the American Conservation Coalition, the largest right-of-center environmental organization in the country. He has been awarded the Fortune 40 Under 40, Forbes 30 Under 30, GreenBiz 30 Under 30, and Grist 50 for his work with the ACC.

They delve into the complexities of meeting energy code requirements, particularly regarding insulation standards and their impact on construction costs and affordability.Exploring the trade-offs between upfront costs and long-term benefits of energy-efficient housing, they emphasize the importance of durable structures and low operational costs mandated by the energy code. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by builders in adapting to evolving building codes, but also highlights successful examples, like high school students building energy-efficient houses annually. While there's a debate on the necessity of certain specifications, consensus is reached on the importance of caring about the job and delivering quality homes to clients.Find Travis & Brandon on the WebTravis' Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/travisbrungardtTravis' Instagram: @catalystbuiltTravis' Website: https://www.catalystbuilt.com/Brandon's Instagram: @joneshomeskc Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.

In this episode, Travis and Brandon discuss complexities of inducing change within a business environment, particularly concerning team members' mindset and behavior. They share personal experiences, expressing frustration at the difficulty of fostering lasting change despite efforts to train and support individuals. The conversation revolves around whether inherent character traits can truly be altered and if sustained transformation is achievable. While they acknowledge instances of progress, they're ultimately skeptical about the ability of individuals to fundamentally change. They emphasize the importance of aligning mindset with organizational goals, particularly in leadership roles, and highlight the necessity of recognizing the limitations of change.Find Travis & Brandon on the WebTravis' Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/travisbrungardtTravis' Instagram: @catalystbuiltTravis' Website: https://www.catalystbuilt.com/ Brandon's Instagram: @joneshomeskc Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.

Building Consensus Episode 102: The majority of new home built in America this year will be constructed as speculative projects by a wide margin. Profit margins on custom homes tend to be more substantial while spec builders rely on higher speed, lower costs and greater volume to make the smaller margins more profitable. While both our hosts are known for pursuing high performance and extreme durability through building science, they differ greatly on whether or not it makes sense to build spec homes, and they discuss their individual experiences that led to those views. Brandon explains the unfortunate reality of the uninformed buyer and both hosts lament the lack of market support to align the value of better built home details with initial costs. Operational costs and health impacts being summarily dismissed in the home pricing equation have led to a race to the bottom, and the impacts to our economy and environment reflect that. This episode seeks to answer, “does it make sense to build spec homes”?Find Travis & Brandon on the WebTravis' Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/travisbrungardtTravis' Instagram: @catalystbuiltTravis' Website: https://www.catalystbuilt.com/ Brandon's Instagram: @joneshomeskc Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.

Introducing “Building Consensus,” a brand-new podcast series from Build Show Expert Travis Brungardt and fellow Kansas City Builder Brandon Jones. From controversy to consensus, this podcast addresses fundamental building issues as well as building science nuance through discussions with industry experts. With each episode Travis and Brandon will seek to arrive at a common understanding, despite their dissimilar approaches or opposing views that reflect their unique experiences. It's a pursuit of that mythical beast “best practice” through some good-natured ribbing and spirited debate. Hopefully, Travis & Brandon will reach common ground despite the different paths they tread.Episode #101: Who Do I Think You Are?Rather than just your typical resume read-off, the guys thought it might be more fun to introduce each other with some overly creative, perhaps dubious back stories. This episode gives Travis and Brandon the opportunity to pick at one another a bit before revealing the accurate versions of their paths into the building trades. With the silliness out of the way we learn who these guys really are, what they do, and then get some insight into why they so often view building problems from opposing perspectives.Find Travis & Brandon on the WebTravis' Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/travisbrungardtTravis' Instagram: @catalystbuiltTravis' Website: https://www.catalystbuilt.com/ Brandon's Instagram: @joneshomeskc Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.

Since earning her trained coaching certification through Erickson's International in 2014, Stefanie has built a company and team of “troublemakers” that provide tools for others to help them define their organization's vision, work with trust and accountability, and communicate clearly to advocate for their own ideas.  Here are some of the top transformational wins you will receive as an IT leader:  How to Navigate Multiple Generations within the Workforce  The Power of Seven Messages, Seven Channels, Seven Times  Using the DISC Behavioral Method to Better Understand Your Team  How to Build Self Awareness  How to Run a Better and Effective Meeting  How to Start Small and Build Stronger Leadership Skills  Tune in and hear how you can transform your skills as a leader and create actions that leave an impact. As a CIO and Business IT Leader here are some wins you will get by listening: (1:05) Stefanie: “We get to work with ambitious, fast growing scaling companies when they have messy, middle, growing pains." (2:10) Bill: “What is happening that there's an opportunity for you and your organization to work for people to solve their particular problems?” (3:13) Stefanie: “I'm seeing a lot of leaders trying to use a consensus model of decision-making, which can be the fastest way to get nothing done.” (3:50) Stefanie: “For folks who want to run a high-performance team, hard times call for bold decisions.” (5:01) Stefanie: “We need to, as leaders, broaden our skillset when it comes to who makes the decision, how do they make it, who's involved so that our organization can continue to grow.”  (5:42) Bill: “What's the genesis of consensus decision making?”  (10:18) Stefanie: “There are new ways for you to be more transparent in your company in a way that makes sense for your business.”  (10:47) Stefanie: “One of my goals is to help people understand those nuances that create friction every single day. Seven messages, seven channels, seven times.”  (14:17) Stefanie: “Repetition is the magic of making your messages stick.”  (14:28) Bill: “Is that sort of the empowerment you're trying to establish if you don't have the view of the CEO in mind but rather an individual leader within their company?”  (15:46) Bill: “If you're coming in from a technical orientation versus an analytical, do you find that people have different things you have to coach them up on?”  (16:17) Stefanie: “We are big fans of the DISC behavioral assessment.”  (20:40) Bill: “You're essentially using this model to make sure that we know where we all are from our own style.”  (21:46) Stefanie: “Just recognizing that you need other people to help you make decisions.”  (22:18) Stefanie: “You need a high performing team that knows how to leverage all styles so they can make the best decisions possible.”  (23:14) Bill: “It is one thing to make a fast decision, but it is another thing to make a fast implementation.”  (25:09) Bill: “Is there a recommended meeting style or cadence that gives a framework for people?”  (27:39) Bill: “How do you coach a team or an individual on how to hold people accountable?”  (28:36) Stefanie: “We have to remember that the accountability is the other person's responsibility.”  (32:08) Stefanie: “You have to define what kind of meeting it is so people understand how to best participate.”  (37:54) Stefanie: “Spend the first 20% of every single workday being completely unavailable to anybody else to do your deepest, most important work.”  (38:38) Stefanie: “Start with the work where you add the most value.” Resources: Stefanie Krievins' LinkedIn  Stefanie Krievins & Co.  Stefanie's Podcast: Hot Mess Hotline

Several years ago, when CFO Anna King first began to champion the benefits of real-time data, she recalls a sudden clamor around new customer activity afforded her the consensus-building moment for which she'd been waiting. At the time, King worked for Transactis, a payment processing company that she had first joined in 2011 as a controller. A year later, after having helped to raise the company's Series C financing, she found herself being appointed CFO. “I was completely shocked—but I was grateful for the board's confidence in me,” recollects King, who would occupy the CFO office until 2019, when Transactis was acquired by Mastercard. Along the way, King got to work alongside seasoned entrepreneurial CEO Joe Proto, who counted Transactis as his third start-up and had a “playbook” when it came to scaling a business. While King's C-level appointment gave her new stature within the company, the move to leverage real-time data cross-functionally within the firm demanded something more. “Change management is typically very difficult,” comments King, who observes that frequently during her tenure she came to rely on the power of consensus-building. “I had to get the CTO on board because we needed some ‘dev' resources—which are always hard to obtain—and I needed to convince our CRO that he would be better able to communicate his needs to management,” remarks King, who notes that the initial stages of the effort involved integrating data from the company's operations, accounting systems, and sales pipeline. Says King: “We were able to see in real time how much revenue we had made on a given day or month-to- date, and by seeing the pipeline data, we were able to forecast what the rest of the month would look like.”   Still, the value of the data was not immediately apparent to each of the functional groups, and King would sometimes have to demonstrate how to put the data to work. Such was the case with the Transactis sales team, which had been amplifying a request for additional resources in response to reports of new customer activity. However, management had been somewhat reluctant to give approval, given that the reports remained more or less only anecdotal.  “We were able to show via new dashboards that there was new customer activity, which allowed them to get them the resources that they needed,” points out King, who adds that one functional area's experience with real-time data soon led to its spread to other areas. Concludes King” “Change management is really about how you communicate and tell the story and build the consensus.” –Jack Sweeney

In episode 170, Lisa Craig of The Craig Group joins the podcast to discuss how her company supports local governments, community groups, cultural organizations, and state, national and tribal partners in adapting to climate change.  We also discuss the challenges of adapting cultural resources in a changing climate. Doug and Lisa discuss the implications of suing a local government to adapt to climate change.  Lisa shares stories of working with communities and describes in detail how they get very different stakeholders to collaborate on adaptation planning. In a segment, ‘adapt or abandon', Lisa gives her professional opinion on what historic resources should be preserved and which ones we might have to abandon. It's a provocative conversation but ultimately one many of us will have to have. Lisa also shares her unique professional journey into the adaptation sector. We also get a sneak peak of some work America Adapts will be doing with Lisa's team in Trinidad and Tobago in 2023.   Topics covered: Hazard mitigation and its role in historic preservation. Historic preservation planning drives local adaptation planning. The art of getting diverse stakeholders to collaborate on adaptation planning. Lisa's history of adaptation planning throughout the United States. What is Keeping History Above Water? Can you sue someone or a government entity to adapt because a historic resource is at risk from climate change? We do a new segment, “adapt or abandon” and Lisa gives her professional advice on some historic sites and if we should save them or abandon them.

Live from the No Panic Zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice—God Bless America—God Bless You and let's do this! This is the Steve Gruber show— And I'm here to flush out the lying politicians—the tech giants—and the babbling herd of sheep—   Here are three big things you need to know right now—   ONE— The FBI continues to be a weapon of left-wing politicians—arresting Peter Navarro on a referral from the partisan January 6th commission—it is inexcusable!   TWO— What is a Woman—the movie—is getting tremendous traction—but movie critics on the left—won't even watch the film before attacking the man behind it—as a bigot—juding a book by its cover—typical socialists—   THREE— Building consensus is where we start today—because right now there is a bi-partisan consensus that is expanding every day in this country—with millions of people in agreement—which is really shocking considering how fractured and divided America has become down political lines— to have a movement like this—a grassroots movement—that will change everything in this country over the next two or three years—   What is the consensus you ask?   That's easy; Joe Biden is the worst President in American history—and the vast majority of Americans have come to that conclusion before the teetering old plagiarist is in office for a mere 18 months—it is a remarkable feat—to become so vilified and rejected before serving a year and a half—   The reasons are many—But the single biggest factor is Joe Biden's near single handed destruction of the American economy since taking office—   The new daily record for the price of gas across the nation today is ________   and the price of diesel is also at record highs again today at ________ and that price impacts everyone of course—because everything in this country is moved by trucks and trains—that are powered by diesel fuel —and that is about to get far worse too—because numerous sources are predicting a shortage of diesel before the end of the year—maybe by Labor Day— which will drive the cost exponentially higher—and fuel inflation to keep sky rocketing—   The rate of inflation is currently above 8%-- and honestly there is not one gauge that would indicate it's going to get much better any time soon— BUT believe it or not Joe Biden is bragging right now about what a great job he's done as President—I'm serious—   On Twitter over the weekend—Feeble Joe, The Delaware Dimwit posted ‘ I led the world to coordinate the largest release from global oil reserves in history, directed the sale of gasoline using homegrown biofuels this summer and more. These actions have already helped to blunt what would have been an even larger Putin Price Hike.'   Incredible—but considering Diaper Joe was on vacation in Delaware again this weekend—you know he really didn't write this—in fact he's likely not even vaguely aware of it—or what Twitter is— I wonder if he could actually name the President of the United States—but I digress—   The multitude of failures—and I am not talking small screw ups But rather colossal failures of policy and leadership—have led to the lowest poll ratings of any President at this point in their term—lower by more than 4 points than President Trump—and he had the media attacking him 24 hours a day—while Joe Biden has been defended since 2019—   The consensus is that the economy has been destroyed by Joe Biden—that he is responsible for soaring inflation and the price of gas—   The consensus is that Joe Biden is responsible for the open southern border—and the flood of illegal aliens into America—that he has no clue how to fix these things or anything else—he is not trusted on domestic policy or foreign affairs—the consensus is, he is weak on China and getting played by Russia and is responsible in many ways for the invasion of Ukraine—   The consensus is—he is a weak and feckless leader that is incapable of running this country with any semblance of competence and that he will oversee the worst defeat for any political party in this country—ever!   Did you see that Republicans are actually in competitive races to win Governor's mansions in places like Oregon and New York? That was unthinkable before Biden took office—   But the worst is still coming—because the economy has not bottomed out—and reckless energy policies being directed by the likes of Bernie Sanders—will crush the middle class even further—and the one thing that can honestly be said about Russia's invasion of Ukraine—is that it could trigger a global food shortage—and push tens of millions of people into a widespread and deadly famine—   And the consensus is, Joe Biden won't do anything important to make it stop—unless of course continuing to blame Russia for everything else is considered important.   BUT Democrats and some weak willed Republicans continue to search for a life-line to save this pathetic Administration led by Dementia Joe—   First it was focused on Covid—But that has drifted away and all the fear mongering in the world will not conjure up that bogyman again—   Roe V Wade being overturned was going to be the big dirty play—but that too has fallen away—and it's not creating the kind of support the Democrats have been dreaming of—so now its gun control—BUT with sales continuing to set records month after month—it's unlikely to save Dirty Joe from himself—or the scandals of his boy Hunter and brother Jim—that all gave kickbacks to him—   No, the consensus is growing—and by November—if we make it that far—is that massive areas of Blue will turn Red, some for the first time in decades—and they will stay that way—maybe forever—because the real consensus beyond Joe Biden being the worst President ever—is the consensus that Socialism is the worst form of government ever—

Kelly Johnston and Rob Fersh disagree strongly on many issues, and voted differently in the 2020 presidential election. But they are friends and “agree on major steps that must be taken for the nation to heed President-elect Biden's welcome call for us to come together.” Both believe that constructive steps must be taken to help build trust among Democrats and Republicans, despite deep polarization and a firm resistance to bipartisanship from both ends of the political spectrum. They encourage open dialogue between sectors and interest groups whose views diverge in an effort to deal with divisive political discourse. Rob Fersh founded Convergence Center for Policy Resolution, and previously worked for Democrats on the staffs of three congressional committees. Kelly Johnston, also a founding board member of Convergence, is a committed Republican and former Secretary of the U.S. Senate. In this episode of Let's Find Common Ground, produced in partnership with Convergence, we talk with both Fersh and Johnston about bridge building and why this work is so urgently needed in an era of political gridlock.
