Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week, I have two amazing guests on the show. The first is Bob Moesta. He is a founder, maker, innovator, speaker, and professor. He is the president and founder of the Rewired Group, as well as an adjunct lecturer at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern and a research fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute.

Alongside Bob, and not to be outshined by any stretch, is Michael Horn who strives to create a world in which all individuals can build their passions, fulfill their potential, and live a life of purpose. He is the co-founder of and a distinguished fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute, a nonprofit think tank. He also teaches at Harvard Graduate School of Education. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone navigating career decisions, seeking purpose, or looking for strategies to make meaningful progress in their work.

In this conversation, Bob and Michael discuss how to evaluate your current situation, identify opportunities for growth, and take steps toward a more fulfilling career. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Align your career with what energizes and fulfills you. Evaluate your current role to identify opportunities for growth.

An estimated 1 billion people switch jobs every year, and the war for talent continues. Leaders and HR teams keep using the same hiring strategies as the average employee tenure decreases year after year. Companies aren't addressing the root issue: employees crave meaningful work, supportive colleagues, and growth opportunities. Unless companies transform their approach to employee satisfaction, they'll keep losing their best people—something Ethan Bernstein and Michael Horn believe we can prevent. Ethan and Michael are co-authors of Job Moves, a book that uses the Jobs to Be Done theory to approach job selection as hiring a role to fulfill personal and professional goals, encouraging a more holistic perspective on career choices.In this episode, Dart, Ethan, and Michael discuss:- Major pushes and pulls driving job changes- Jobs to Be Done theory applied to work and career transitions- 4 Quests of job changes: why employees leave their jobs- Progress vs. progression at work- Experiences vs. features in job selection- 9 activities that companies can do to ensure strong employee fit- How to prototype and test potential career changes- And other topics…Ethan Bernstein and Michael Horn are co-authors of Job Moves, a book that uses the Jobs to Be Done theory to approach job selection as hiring a role to fulfill personal and professional goals, encouraging a more holistic perspective on career choices.Ethan Bernstein is the Edward W.

Unwelcome employee turnover can create big problems for managers, teams, and organizations, so it's important to understand the real drivers of attrition.

As our 15 year college reunions approach, we can still vividly remember how much we dreaded studying for the SATs and the stress we felt waiting for our college acceptances. But will this be the same for our kids? Today, we bring on Michael B. Horn to help us understand what's changed since our day- what's stayed the same- and how we can get better at “Choosing College” - which is in fact the name of his book!More on MICHAEL B.

Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, says that the current issues keeping inflation high are about supply-side economics and are the kinds of problems that the Federal Reserve can't just fix by cutting interest rates. So while he sees the Fed as having pulled off the soft landing earlier this year, it can't "save us" this time, although he says the strong economy should ensure that the cycle should play out without a crash or catastrophe. Ann Somers Hogg, director for health care research for the Clayton Christensen Institute, discusses her work showing that caregivers -- particularly working mothers -- are suffering through mental health issues impacted largely by society not understanding the issues they are facing. As a result, she notes that if health is wealth, working moms are living in extreme poverty. Plus Bryce Doty, senior portfolio manager at Sit Investment Associates, says the uptick in inflation is not enough to overwhelm the yields investors are earning, noting that real returns may be better than ever. He says investors should enjoy collecting the high yields while interest rates remain high, but total returns should improve once cuts start. Doty is not expecting meaningful rate cuts this year -- he anticipates two reductions, one after the election -- but says that the long-term average gap between the Fed funds rate and inflation is well above its typical zero, so the central bank can cut rates and have a positive gap, meaning it can claim to be tough even as reductions start. Doty anticipates the important cuts -- the ones which narrow that gap back to near zero -- will occur in 2025.

This conversation covers the recently released 2022 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts from the NEA. The decline in arts audiences from 1982 - 2022 as well as an upcoming workshop series designed to empower small-budget arts leaders to drive meaningful change in 2024 with relevance strategist, Ruth Hartt. Ruth Hartt leverages interdisciplinary insights to champion the arts, foster inclusivity, and drive meaningful change. Known for merging powerful perspective shifts with actionable insights, Ruth brings a unique blend of experience to her work as a relevance strategist for arts organizations.Currently serving as Chief of Staff at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, Ruth previously spent nearly two decades in the arts sector as an opera singer, choral director, and music educator.Drawing on 23 years of experience in the cultural and nonprofit sectors, including six years' immersion in innovation frameworks, Ruth helps arts organizations rethink audience development and arts marketing through a customer-centric lens.Her perspective as a relevance strategist has been shaped by her unique journey: growing up in blue-collar Maine, convincing teenagers to love choral music, training and performing as an opera singer, engaging with donors and opera patrons, and supporting the research of a Harvard Business School professor.This diverse range of experience provides Ruth with a distinctly empathetic and inclusive viewpoint, enabling her to connect with and advocate for a wide range of stakeholders in the arts industry.Find at more about the workshops: http://www.cultureforhire.com/a-path-forwardFind the slide deck: https://www.cultureforhire.com/articles/82-22 Listen to Ruth's original podcast appearance in Episode 169!

We are excited to have SchoolAI as a sponsor for the Summer of AI Series on Transformative Principal. Please visit schoolai.com to save your teachers 10 hours per week. Today we are talking with Michael B. Horn about the impact of AI on K12 (and higher) education and it's level of disruption. Are students more disengaged because of the pandemic or AI taking over jobs? Anxiety from high school students because it is just far enough away. In every field entry level role becomes something much different. Intermediary places that employ apprentices. Theory of interdependence and modularity. In the early years of a system, different systems have to be done by the same entity. The nature of skills and work is moving so fast Book learning has to be done interdependently with the actual work. willfully blind to the reality. Google has changed the game and so will AI. Combination of human skills with the AI Hard things are still important. Habits of success, social emotional skills, soft skills, etc. What is hard may change. What is scarce may become clearer. It's easy to get a bunch of gibberish written on the internet. What's harder is to write something that compels others to take action. How to idenitfy hidden bias in AI. Rhetoric, philosophy, ethics and others are more important now. How we shape the AI and the code itself using ethics, philosophy. Overcorrection of humanities vs. STEM fields. Our ability to be discerning consumers is going to be more important. Are we training AI or is AI training us? Maybe knowledge is less important. Discerning what is fact vs. fiction. Information exists, knowledge gathers it, wisdom is applied knowledge, discernment is knowing when to use it. Schools seek to organize information into knowledge, smart people gain wisdom, and enlightened ones seek for discernment. Context gives meaning. Contrast give meaning. About Michael HornMichael B.

Michael has won numerous awards for his insightful work, serves on a range of advisory boards, and is the author of books such as “From Reopen to Reinvent: (Re)creating School for Every Child,” ”Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns,” “Blended: Using Disruptive Innovation to Improve Schools,” “Choosing College: How to Make Better Learning Decisions Throughout Your Life,” and “Goodnight Box.”Some Questions We Ask:Describe your journey in education. (00:47)What do you think about this current moment in education? (02:07)What is your opinion on incorporating AI in education? (05:15)Please tell us about your book “From Reopen to Reinvent” (08:05)We're seeing a shift in what students are doing post high school. New pathways are developing. What are your thoughts on that? (16:12)What are you most hopeful about in the direction education is headed? (19:28)What insights can you share for listeners who are looking to build their own profiles? (24:31)In This Episode, You Will Learn:About Michael's journey in education (00:58)His thoughts on AI in education (03:11)How schooling can best coexist with technology (06:37)The key message of his book “From Reopen to Reinvent” (08:20)The importance of choosing the right pathways that are accessible and that suit the student (16:36)Michael's thoughts on building your leadership profile (24:31)Quotes:“Know your expertise. Lean into that expertise. And make insights out of that expertise. That's number 1. Second, be humble. You have a lot to learn from everyone you connect with. Third, be authentic. If a theory on which you're drawing doesn't have a perspective on something, say that. Know your limits.”“I think the biggest regret in that book is that we named it “Choosing College” as opposed to something a little catchy and more encompassing—but lesson learned, right? The idea was like, ‘Hey, step back and think about what progress you're trying to make. What's the outcome you're really seeking?' And if you can understand that, then all of a sudden, you realize college isn't the only pathway anymore to get from A to B. ”“We're seeing more pathways open up that empower students. It's really positive. It's putting kids at the center. It's giving families more options. I think AI tools are going to create more pathways, and I think we're going to see more districts create their own pathways and portfolios of different school types that power students to learn whatever they want and to chase their dreams in exciting ways.”Connect with Michael:LinkedInWebsiteBooksStay in touch with Sarah Williamson:Free Case Study GuideWebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Katie Lash:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

For this very special milestone, the 100th episode of The Dan Nestle Show, Dan has the great honor to chat with Ruth Hartt, a classically trained opera singer and music educator, now Chief of Staff at the Clayton Christensen Institute (a think tank dedicated to improving the world through Disruptive Innovation) and founder of Culture For Hire, a platform she uses to help arts organizations rethink their purpose and reinvent themselves by understanding their customers. Drawing examples from the world of music and art, we learn how Ruth is applying Jobs to Be Done theory to become a true customer champion and turn arts marketing on its head. You'll find yourself nodding along with Ruth as she takes us through stories of marketing malpractice, and how a few brave innovators and Jobs to be Done approaches are helping to breathe life into a dying industry. In This Episode (01:59) Dan welcomes Ruth to Dan Nestle show. (03:49) On meeting Ruth as part of the uprising at an anti-conference. (05:40) Ruth journey as a musician and educator to joining the Clayton Institute. (06:18) Talking about harassment and pregnancy discrimination. (09:50) Absorbing, learning, reading, and listening to knowledge coming her way. (16:01) Explaining Job to Be Done and why people buy. (26:33) On being a relevant strategist and customer champion. (38:40) Discussing the epidemic of loneliness and how to tackle it. (40:17) Dan elaborates on the three-box solution. (52:15) Job To be Done going beyond just a marketing solution. (54:58) How can people discover classical music and the arts today. (59:53) What Dan discovered about classical music. (1:03:18) How reaction videos can create an impact. (1:05:33) Ruth shares a book with the audience. Notable Quotes “All of a sudden, I am thinking, we have got a marketing problem in the arts world. Because we are not considering the customer at all. In fact, traditional arts marketing ignores the customer, and so does the theory change the game for marketers in the arts world and I sort of set out to figure out what that looks like.” – Ruth (11:33) “We need to understand the functional need, the emotional context, and the social context in their life that causes them to buy. Sort of in a nutshell, people buy not because of who they are but because of who they want to become. Or because of what they want their life to become or their world to become. The way Clayton Christensen always puts it is they say, people hire things to help them make progress on a circumstance in their life.” – Ruth (16:39) “There is the value chain architecture; how the business is run and how value gets delivered. There is the value of proposition, and then there is the customer. Those 3 elements if you change any one of those, it's a non-linear innovation. And that a way you can sort of validate whether or not what you are doing is innovative.” – Dan (42:09) “The forces of progress. There are forces that are in someone's circumstance that are pushing him towards a solution. There is a solution that has great things about that is pulling them towards it. But then there are these habits of the past and anxieties about the new solution that are forcing them away and unless the pull towards the new solution outweighs the anxieties and the habits of the past, you are not going to sell whatever it is you are trying to sell.” – Ruth (43:55) “How do you get people to buy in, right? Some of it is creating this relevant doorway; relevant meaning something that is familiar to them. There are so many Queen fans out there. And for them to see a concert advertised as Queen with full orchestra, that's a draw! I would be interested in that. I am a Queen fan.” – Ruth (1:01:39) About Ruth Hartt Ruth Hartt is a classically trained opera singer and music educator. She spent the last 5 years at the Clayton Christensen Institute for disruptive innovation, where she has been immersed in research and theories of one of the world's legendary business thinkers, learning the power of Jobs to be Done and customer-centricity. Now she has combined her experience in the arts with her expertise in business strategy and launched Culture For Hire, where she helps arts organizations to rethink their purpose and reinvent themselves by understanding their customers and creating relevance for their communities.

In our race to cover state content standards and prepare students for high-stakes tests, many educators are overlooking a powerful strategy for transforming students' futures and making serious strides toward equity. Policy analyst and author Julia Freeland Fisher preaches the game-changing impact of expanding students' social networks.Julia Freeland Fisher is the director of education research at the Clayton Christensen Institute. Her team educates policymakers and community leaders on the power of disruptive innovation, aiming to transform monolithic, factory-model education systems into student-centered designs that enable each student to realize his or her fullest potential. Julia is also the author of Who You Know: Unlocking Innovations That Expand Students' Networks, along with a great collection of blog posts and this AMAZING PLAYBOOK for implementing the ideas we discuss in the episode. We cover a lot of territory including:2:54 How Bear McCreary became one of the top composers of our time5:20 Young Julia's 1st-hand experience with “opportunity gaps”6:53 Two types of social capital: getting by vs. getting ahead9:01 WHAT you know vs. WHO you know10:25 Breaking out of the school's embryonic community11:28 The inequity of inherited social networks13:13 How “enrichment spending” exacerbates inequity14:18 Research on the link between social capital and economic mobility15:25 How schools can tap into community capital18:23 Existing models for schools to engage networks21:32 Overcoming “Byzantine” school schedules24:54 How schools can track and systemize social capital26:15 What gets measured gets done27:38 A challenge to affluent people who care about equity29:30 Whose job is this?30:44 A simple first step for school leaders31:52 The “low-hanging fruit”- Internship programs33:20 Models/programs for school-wide implementation34:51 Connecting with our WHY and overcoming teacher burnout Here are some programs and tools Julia discusses in the interview:Big Picture Learning NetworkImBlazeEducuriousCommunityShareThe Forest SchoolSocial Capital BuildersConnected FuturesCareer Launch
I've had Thomas Arnett on the podcast before to talk about Innovation in Education, but this conversation stems from an article I really enjoyed entitled "New Value Networks: The missing piece in the K-12 disruption equation." I hope that you will read it and take a listen to this podcast conversation, and keep an eye out for more from and with Thomas. Thomas Arnett is a senior research fellow for the Clayton Christensen Institute. His work focuses on using the Theory of Disruptive Innovation to study innovative instructional models and their potential to scale student-centered learning in K–12 education. He also studies demand for innovative resources and practices across the K–12 education system using the Jobs to Be Done Theory.
In this episode, we chat with Michael Horn, co-founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation. Michael is an expert on K-12 education and he believes in the power of physical education to improve academic performance and enhance physical, emotional and behavioral health. His recently released book is "From Reopen to Reinvent: (Re)creating School for Every Child." We touch on Positive Sum vs. Zero Sum in P.E.; how quality P.E. improves student attention and focus in other school subjects; and how good physical activity habits developed in the K-12 years lead to adults who prioritize lifelong physical fitness, among other topics. Horn believes the trend of schools dropping or deemphasizing physical education is the exact opposite of where we need to go in this country. In fact, he believes fitness should actually be the centerpiece of K-12 school design, not just an add-on.
This episode of the Getting Smart Podcast is a part of our New Pathways campaign. In partnership with ASA, the Gates Foundation, Stand Together and the Walton Foundation, the New Pathways campaign will question education's status quo and propose new methods of giving students a chance to experience success in what's next. On the recent Getting Smart Town Hall, the team was joined by Julia Freeland Fisher (Clayton Christensen Institute), Edward DeJesus (Social Capital Builders, Inc.) and Tyler Thigpen (The Forest School) for a discussion of innovative approaches to mapping and analyzing students' existing networks as a way to build more asset-based pathways.
Disruptive innovations begin on the margins and don't penetrate the mainstream until their quality is proven to be as good, if not better, than more established models. Disruptive innovation is a term that was coined by Clayton Christensen and his colleagues back in the 1990s, and its effects have been seen in many sectors over the years, including education. In today's episode of the LiberatED podcast, I talk with Michael B. Horn, chairman, co-founder, and a distinguished fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute in Massachusetts.

Development is one of the major challenges of our time. Unfortunately, it's often approached in a way that does more harm than good. Efosa Ojomo has a better solution, and he's here today to share it. Efosa is the leader of the Global Prosperity Research Group at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, the co-author of The Prosperity Paradox, and the author of the upcoming book, The Prosperity Process. In this episode, Efosa explains how his first foray in the development space (building wells in Nigeria) catalyzed a journey of discovery which led him to realize that, in order to truly change the world, we need to implement pull strategies instead of push strategies and focus on market creating innovations. He shares some examples of what these innovations look like and we discuss what it takes to be a market creating innovator, how regulation impacts innovation, a new way to think about corruption, and more! Make sure to tune in today. Key Points From This Episode: • The lesson Efosa learned through his first foray in the development world. • Definitions of the three types of innovation that Efosa and his co-authors explain in depth in their book, The Prosperity Paradox. • Efosa shares the story of Mo Ibrhaim to highlight the power of market creating innovations. • Push versus pull development strategies and the problem with the former. • The story of Indomie Noodles as an example of the huge amount of change that can be made through the implementation of a pull strategy. • How a proliferation of government agencies negatively impacts a country's entrepreneurial ecosystem. • The type of person who is best suited to be a leader in the market creating innovation space. • Aid for developing countries: how the approach needs to change. • Efosa explains why good laws are not enough to create thriving communities. • Key factors that resulted in the rise and fall of Venice. • How Efosa believes we should be tackling the issue of corruption. • A tribute to Clayton Christenson. • The Prosperity Process; Efosa's future book.

In this episode, I'm going to share some useful, relevant, and less daunting strategies to help you get out of your way and start networking more intentionally so you can invite people into your network who you want there. Plus, I'll share some tips on how you can network virtually and create a strategy that works for you to build your network more intentionally and authentically.
