Charlotte O'Neill, Manchester City Women Managing Director, ‘Why Is Women's Football Expected To Be Profitable When Men's Football Isn't!?'

Today we're delighted to welcome Manchester City Women's Director Charlotte O'Neill to the show. This is a part of the game we talk about a lot. The growth of women's football has been in turbo over the last decade, both in the UK and beyond. Man City have been one of the clubs leading that charge, compiling a squad of world class talent with the facilities and infrastructure to deliver on a long term ambition, to be the best women's team in the world. But behind this is a broad range of both successes and major challenges to overcome. From developing female first brands with unique value propositions to being held to account for a lack of financial sustainability as the men's game haemorrhages cash, there's a real story to be told for what is going on behind the scenes as these teams evolve through their investment phase into legitimate standalone football brands with social and commercial firepower. On today's show we discuss: Evolution of Man City Women: When a women's team is starting out, does it need to be able to leverage the brand and credibility of a strong men's team to get ahead? What has been the most important part of being a team in the City Football Group setup? From foundation to legitimacy: how have the club developed both a trophy chasing team on the pitch supported by best in class infrastructure off it. What are the biggest challenges about running a women's team in the WSL? Are the expectations placed on the women's team similar to that of the men? How an access to the leadership of Man City, such as Director of Football Txiki Begiristain, has benefited Charlotte and her team when it comes to football and business. Creating a Proper Business:  ”This assumption that women's football has to be sustainable from day dot really drives me mad”. What does it mean for the game to be in the ‘investment phase'? Understanding who the fans are; who are the core group attracted to the matches and how to the compare to the ‘traditional' City fan? The rise of female first partnerships: how the women's team and signing major brand deals with businesses looking to unlock and resonate with a new audience. What are the key revenue streams that drive the team and how do they compare to the men's business model. To what extent does success on the pitch drive the success off it? The Wider World of Women's Football: How does the WSL compare to other strong leagues in the US and Europe? Are we attracting the top talent to come and play in the league and do the financial opportunities offered compete with salaries elsewhere? Should we franchise women's football? The balance between security and maintaining brand value with jeopardy and open football pyramids. Where are the biggest opportunities for women's football over the coming years? A huge thanks to our partner: Orreco  https://www.orreco.com/

Some of the topics we discuss include: Why short-form video (ie Reels) is the key to success across both Facebook and Instagram How F1 teams and drivers have built a thriving community on threads Why the majority of a social media user's time will soon not be spent in feeds, but rather in private and group messaging conversations. How Meta is looking to make their platforms more attractive for content creators?

V noci před rozhovorem se vrátil z Chorvatska, kde navštívil půltucet fotbalových zápasů v řadě. „Na každém takovém zápase se tváříte důležitě. Předstíráte, že rozumíte kopané. Nikomu radši nic neříkáte, aby nebylo vidět, že sám moc neumíte kopnout do míče, ale snažíte se poznat, kdo z těch mladých kluků to buď umí, nebo může umět,“ říká třiašedesátiletý Milan Holub v dalším díle podcastu Host Reportéra.Jeho hlášky musíme brát s rezervou, protože je na české poměry velmi úspěšným skautem, vyhledávačem fotbalových talentů. Zaměstnává ho Manchester City, respektive společnost City Football Group, takže Milan Holub nehledá naděje jen pro slavné Citizens, ale také pro třináct sesterských klubů na všech kontinentech. Jeho hlavním regionem je Balkán, z čehož vyplývá, že nejvíce času tráví v zemích bývalé Jugoslávie. „Ale v Británii vnímají pojem Balkán rozvolněněji, takže se snažím mít co nejlepší přehled o lize české, maďarské, bulharské, gruzínské…“Během podcastu vyjde najevo, že do balonu kopnout pravděpodobně uměl – v mládí hrával za Slavii Velký Borek, pak dokonce za Mělník. „Ale neuměl,“ brání se, „při pokusu o střelu jsem obvykle neudržel rovnováhu a upadl. Ale snažil jsem se aspoň hodně běhat, i tihle fotbaloví nádeníci jsou na hřišti potřeba. Nakonec to dokonce vypadalo, že bych mohl hrát za áčko Mělníka třetí ligu, ale v přípravném zápase jsem si zlomil lýtkovou kost, na tři měsíce dostal sádru, a tehdy jsem se rozhodl odjet do Ameriky.“V polovině osmdesátých let bez znalosti angličtiny emigroval do USA, kde se živil mnoha manuálními pracemi. Když se pak po revoluci vrátil do rodné vlasti, podnikal, získal trenérskou licenci a v Mělníku dělal asistenta hlavního kouče.Před nějakými patnácti lety se zajel podívat na bezvýznamný přípravný zápas do Mladé Boleslavi, kde zapředl hovor s jakýmsi přítomným Němcem. Překvapivě se ukázalo, že ten muž pracuje jako skaut pro Arsenal. Milan Holub mu sdělil pár svých postřehů – a nejspíš bystrých –, protože Němec se později odvděčil telefonátem: „Nechtěl bys hledat talenty pro londýnský Charlton?“Milan Holub chtěl, a sám by to sice zlehčoval, ale určitě se mu dařilo, protože ho později zlanařil Fulham a nakonec Manchester City: „Takových regionálních skautů má Manchester v kontinentální Evropě zhruba osm.“Skoro každý týden vyráží Milan Holub na služební cesty. Po nocích píše na hotelu reporty ze zápasů, v nichž analyzuje schopnosti nadstandardních mladých hráčů. A ve zbylém volném čase píše knížky – vydal už tři. „Vždycky jsem hodně četl a měl chuť psát, tak si to, když mám náhodou náladu, dopřávám.“Jeho zatím poslední, částečně autobiografický román jménem Duša(n) moja se odehrává začátkem osmdesátých let v Piešťanech i v rumunských horách. „V tom mém příběhu jsou kamarádi,“ říká Milan Holub v podcastu, „ideály, kurvy, fízlové, pravda a láska, chlast slast, hory, touha po svobodě, čest, nabroušený nůž, pád ze skály a hvězdy nad hlavou.“

(don't) Waste Water!
[Extract] How Xylem evolved from a Pump Company to a Solution Provider - Patrick Decker

(don't) Waste Water!

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 2, 2022 0:55


Patrick Decker is the CEO of Xylem. Xylem is the fourth largest water business in the World and a water and wastewater technology company that's well known for its motto: "Let's solve water." Eleven years ago, almost day for day, ITT spun off its water business to create Xylem. That move itself didn't change much, but the eleven years' journey that followed profoundly reshaped the company and, by extension, many aspects of the Water Industry itself.  Patrick Decker has been leading that transformation for now almost nine years, and in a sometimes very conservative Water Sector, he's bringing much of a fresh breath!  For instance, a couple days ahead of his WEFTEC visit, he shared on social media which days he would attend and invited anyone to come to talk with him at Xylem's booth. And as we'll discuss today, as walking the talk is a critical pillar of his values, he also really had those informal discussions: the perks of being approachable. Does Xylem need the exposure of this podcast? Not at all; they already draw 1 billion people to their campaigns through their partnership with the City Football Group. But I think we all need the inspiration Patrick shares today. Before even recording, he mentioned how he would be worse of a guest than his brilliant colleagues Austin Alexander and Sivan Zamir that already appeared on that microphone. It wasn't humble brag but a sound respect for his team. And during and after recording, he addressed me as a peer in this Water Industry - which arguably I'm by no means, as I would be aware if I was leading a 5 billion business.  What I want to underline here is how inspirational it is to see this kind of Water Leader. We know the challenges ahead, and it's good to see those qualities in the captains of the boats! Patrick was kind enough to stop by my microphone to share this wisdom shot. But he also had to continue his journey, as he was awaited on scene to give his talk, which makes for a short episode today.  As you can imagine, I have dozen more questions that I would love to raise him, and that's where you can help me to provide you with the answers. If you like that first session and enjoy Patrick's answers, share that episode around you. Recommend it to your friends and peers, and come leave me a comment under my LinkedIn post to encourage Patrick to come back! I'm pretty confident that with the right level of support from all of you, I can win him over for a deeper dive. So come one, do it, and I'll meet you on the other side!
