Today, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy is an agenda-topping item for almost all companies – of all sizes. What strategic approaches do organizations such as G+D need to adopt to help them deliver on these goals?

Dr Karen Luyt is a Consultant for Digital Transformation at BCX. She has held various positions in her 32-year career – from development and specialist roles to several management positions – and has extensive international experience in regions like the UK, Spain, and Australia. Luyt has also been active in the Doctoral Programme of the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) – both as a lecturer and as an MBA and Doctoral-level supervisor. In this episode of What's Next, Luyt discusses why digital transformation has not yet been achieved by all organisations – even though it has been a key topic of discussion for many years. She then explains how organisations can accomplish their radical digital transformation goals by approaching this journey practically.

The Liver Forum aims to advance the regulatory sciences for the treatment of NAFLD/NASH and liver fibrosis by providing a neutral, independent venue for ongoing multi-stakeholder dialogue. Their work facilitates the best science-based decisions on how to study efficacy and safety in real-time by using collective knowledge and experience with therapies for advancing liver disease. In this final conversation, Executive Director Veronica Miller joins guest Manal Abdelmalek and co-host Jörn Schattenberg (both Steering Committee members) to discuss the Liver Forum, its unique processes and valuable work. Roger Green starts this conversation suggesting that the findings of the Placebo Arm Database Project need to translate into guidelines for researchers to formally standardize. Veronica describes elements of how the Forum is organizing the trial and what she considers some of the critical success factors for a placebo cohort. She notes this should benefit individual pharmaceutical sponsors because they can assess data in the context of placebo response and how to recruit patients for clinical trials. She also believes that if these metrics are feasible to implement, they will find ways into clinical practice as well. Manal notes that another benefit might be to give regulators access to larger data sets that mirror how the trials are done, leveraging resources and providing benchmarks at the same time. Jörn notes the Forum to be an open process and provides examples of what he considers to be some key benefits to this. Veronica concludes the main conversation by discussing the idea that a shared placebo arm might be possible and would have tremendous benefit. Roger poses the final question: each panelist provides the strongest takeaway for what they hope listeners glean from this episode. Surf on to find out more.

Lee outlines the 3 factors that can lead to the success of any change team within an organisation. He strongly suggests you apply the PIE ; Performance, Image and Exposure. If resistance is something you face, these three factors can positively affect the efficiency of your team. KEY TAKEAWAYS This is the main body of what you do, done excellently. It is the fundamental of career success and effectiveness, be good at what you do. Do people think of you positively and accept you as a change maker? Do they understand your role and your abilities? How many people know the change team? How many can see the impact the change team is having? Are your senior leaders aware of your value and effectiveness? These three factors can reduce resistance to any change you effect. BEST MOMENTS ‘Performance is 10% of this overall pie. Doing what you say you're going to do and your level of performance.'   ‘What can you do to try to build a stronger image? Do you have a brand? Do you have a logo? Do people understand what it is that you do?' ‘As a leader of a change team it is arguably your role to maximise the level of exposure that the team get with the senior leaders and other departments.'

The Hackett Group Principal David Ketchin talks with Senior Director Hiten Parmar and Principal Georg Bach about their perspective on sustainable procurement in Europe, how the pandemic has helped move the topic to the top of the procurement agenda, and critical success factors for sustainable procurement initiatives.Show Notes:This episode of the podcast is hosted by David Ketchin, Managing Director of Europe for the Hackett Group.  His guests for the episode are Principal Georg Bach and Senior Director Hiten Parmar.  Georg helps lead the Hackett Group's operations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Nordics, working with senior executive clients.  Hiten is the Hackett Group's procurement transformation leader based in the UK.  Both guests join David to discuss the topic of sustainable procurement, and given their contexts and roles, there is a distinct European flavor to some of the challenges discussed.As David and his guests launch into their discussion, they first consider the fragile state of Europe' supply chain right now before turning to a basic definition of procurement.  The primary goal for procurement is cost management, which involves obtaining the right supplies at the right time for an optimal price.  In the present moment, there is a particularly high demand to do this job well and, in doing so, to meet relevant regulations - especially in the high-profile area of sustainability.  Sustainable procurement is multi-faceted and involves two broad themes.  The first theme, that of looking at ESG and strategic imperatives, centers on three key pillars: environment, social, and governance.  The other broad theme is possibly even more important than the first, and it is to extend the CPO's impact in the decision-making process at the board level, CEO level, and beyond.  Because of changes in consumer behavior and investor attitudes, a company CEO has to access innovative profit pools with smaller carbon footprints.  The CPO and procurement department generally manage supplier innovation, so they are now presented with both the challenge and the opportunity to effectively contribute to business markets and carbon footprints.  Moving forward, the group talks about how to get started in forming and implementing an effective strategy.  It is such an exciting time for procurement leaders, as they have great opportunity to innovate, challenge, and identify strategic partners to accelerate business change.  Effective engagement with suppliers is of primary importance, and leaders should also consider what is in their control in relationships with suppliers (such as the cultivation of relationships with suppliers that share the company's values).  Procurement leaders have opportunity to work toward a sense of mutual value creation, a robust insistence on company values, and even diversity on multiple levels.  Of course, when preparing to move toward a stronger sustainable procurement practice, it's helpful to see how other companies are handling similar shifts.  However, it is not entirely clear at this point what companies are and are not doing well in this area, and the realm of sustainable procurement is constantly evolving and demands flexibility.  That being said, there are critical success factors to bear in mind.  First, those trying to secure rapid benefits should treat procurement as a true business partner.  Procurement leaders should leverage their asset (expertise and data), live the visible strategic priority of sustainability in procurement, keep an eye to tangible value, focus on business alignment, and establish structures of collaboration.

The world of Business at Your Fingertips. GROW WITH US. You are here with Sarita Johan, your host and I am the Partnership Coach for Dynamic Partnerships in Business and Life. My quest is simple, to help partnerships start strong and stay strong in Business and Life, how do we achieve this? By building a strong core. The purpose of this weekly podcast is to have you be inspired through insights, ideas, and tools to help you navigate the Dynamic world of Business Partnerships. Genius or recipe for disaster? Let's find out. The 7 critical success factors are: Envisioning an outcome Understanding your supporters Communicating your vision Serving others Inspiring others Guiding others Developing yourself For today's episode I am focussing on 3 of the 7 key success factors. Envisioning an outcome It sounds so hard, but it might be less hard than you think. Keeping it simple will aid the process, it is often those simple ideas that can spark the biggest inspiration. Martin Luther King famously said “I have a dream”, that one sentence has inspired people for generations and no doubt will continue to do so.

Over the past few years, delivering sustainable solutions and reducing carbon emissions have moved up the corporate agenda. But while many people like talking about it, few are ready to act.  One reason that people claim that holds them back is that sustainability solutions come with a green premium  - which is the additional cost of choosing a clean technology over one that emits a greater amount of greenhouse gases. But that's not always the case anymore.  In this podcast, we are joined by the CEO & Co-founder of Ampd Energy, Brandon Ng. His company proves that you don't have to increase your costs to decrease your carbon emissions.  01:40 Intro to Brandon & Ampd Energy  - How an approach from Gammon Construction in Hong Kong changed Ampd's focus to reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry 05:00 Ampd Energy targets the construction industry, which is an industry laggard when it comes to driving productivity and innovation. However, you are seeing very strong traction in your home market in Hong Kong. What is driving your success? - Sole focus is on the construction industry - First customer was a marquee company - Gammon Construction - Electric Vehicles have been in Hong Kong for over 10 years, so battery technology is viewed as “ready for primetime”, not an emerging tech.  - The business case stacks up. Ampd Energy doesn't come with a “green premium”, it actually reduces costs from the current solutions deployed.  10:00 Hong Kong's Construction Industry Council partnered with Hong Kong's Development Bureau to launch at HKD 1 Billion (USD 130m) Construction Innovation Technology Fund. How has this been adopted and leveraged by the construction industry and what benefits has it delivered? 12:45 What are the biggest challenges you face when trying to win new business? - Lack of product awareness leads to misconceptions and misunderstandings about what we do - Fear of change 14:45 What is your business model? Do customers have to buy (CapEx) yoru solution or can they lease (OpEx) it?  15:45 What are your key objectives to grow your business over the coming 12 - 24 months - Increase market share in HK - Expand to Singapore and other markets across Asia - Continue to educate and advocate for greener, cleaner and quieter construction sites using Ampd's products 18:00 What impact has the rise in importance of sustainability and reducing carbon emissions had on your business? - Investment firms holding industry responsible for the carbon emissions 19:30 What are the Critical Success Factors for driving your long term (5-10 year) growth and success? And the biggest risks? - Urbanisation  - Bridging the gap in debt financing to give Ampd the working capital to build more product in advance of orders received - Attracting talent 25:45 What do you know today that you wish you knew when you started Ampd in 2015? 26:40 When you expand into new markets, will you go direct or leverage channel partners? 28:00 How can the audience follow Ampd Energy or get in touch with you?

One of the biggest problems in our industry is the high level of staff turnover and attrition. This can have negative implications on profits, branding, and continuity of service. How do you overcome this? Neil Dickins, the founder of Intellectual Capital Resources, shares how they have achieved excellent employee engagement and retention for the last 21 years. This correlates with them achieving 86 profitable quarters in a row! Founded in 1999, IC Resources now employs over 70 people with 7 offices across the UK, Germany, Austria, China and the USA. They've made over 12,000 placements and are the pre-eminent ‘deep tech' recruiter in the UK and Europe.  In this episode, Neil shares their approach to hiring, organic growth, culture and KPI management, and how ‘letting go' can be a challenge but beneficial in the long run. Enjoy! Episode Outline and Highlights [1:30] Neil reveals how he ended up in the UK and how he fell in love with recruiting. [5:22] Top key factors to IC Resources' success.  [11:58] Being part of the business community: Neil reveals examples of how you can be part of the industry you find yourself in. [21:05] Building a strong business by having no unwanted staff turnover. [22:56] Creating a high level of staff retention [25:00] IC Resources' approach on dynamic KPIs  [28:49] Give your team autonomy and let go. Neil discusses the challenge and benefit of ‘letting go.' [32:12] Discussion on organic growth and promoting from within. [36:37] How to manage your team members who are working remotely. [43:37] Neil's number one message to his teams: hear about the ten-second rule. [46:14] Don't just do it for the money  Neil shares the ‘worst mistake' they ever made. [52:00] Temp checking on your teams: when to support and when to let go. Critical Success Factors for Sustainable Growth and Profitability I reached out to Neil because IC Resources were listed in the Hot 100 List of the Recruiter Magazine. Out of 30-40,000 recruitment firms in the UK, they are 33rd in terms of billings per employee. This is on top of them having 86 straight profitable quarters! Such an incredible feat has a lot of contributing factors. But I asked Neil to boil it down to the key components. Neil mentioned two: Taking the long term view and commitment to both your clients and employees Being actively involved within the business community that you serve Avoiding Unwanted Staff Turnover As we went through our conversation, it was clear that what significantly contributed to IC Resources' strong business is retaining talent and reducing staff turnover. “For 21 years...we almost had no unwanted staff turnover” is how Neil puts it. What are their practices to have such high staff retention? Neil said, “It is a combination of culture and lack of greed.” He laid out some of their employee practices which I believe you will find interesting: Having targets that are reasonable, fair, and achievable. Having a sense of responsibility and achievement. Day to day enjoyment and satisfaction. All of the abovementioned factors are founded on how they manage their KPIs. Their approach to having dynamic and custom KPIs for each person is genius! Learn more about it while listening. The Ten-Second Rule I've noticed that many successful leaders have certain phrases or key messages they repeat over and over to their team until it becomes part of the DNA of the organization.  I asked Neil what message he finds himself repeating when communicating with his team.  He shared a nugget of wisdom that we could all adopt as a fundamental principle in doing business; let's call it the ‘ten-second rule'. This is how he puts it: “People know within 10 seconds of a phone call if you see them as a person or as a pound sign.” How does that impact the overall end-to-end hiring process?

If you are a regular listener to the TechBurst Asia podcast, you'll know I love talking about OpenRAN, which is kind of strange. I have spent much of the past 20 years looking at the solutions that can leverage the latest and greatest networks, but I am far from an expert when it comes to what it takes to build those networks - and even less of an expert on the technology they run on. So why does OpenRAN fascinate me? Well, it isn't the technology behind it, it's the disruptive business, operating and financial models that it creates. And I like to see how the industry will respond to this disruption.  And let's face it, OpenRAN has been riding pretty high on the hype curve, so I want to understand what it will take for it to live up to that hype.  Today's guest is uniquely suited to help me understand this. He has spent the past couple years working on the groundbreaking Rakuten OpenRAN deployment in Japan, so he's seen first hand the benefits OpenRAN can deliver - and the challenges faced when deploying it.  In addition to that, he works for a company that, on the surface, looks like it would be one of the main companies disrupted by this new model, so I want to understand why they are embracing it.  He is Terry McCabe, Nokia's Chief Technology Officer for Asia Pacific & Japan, where he spearheads Nokia's 5G technology strategy. And yes, we'll talk a bit about 5G - and 6G - as well.  Show Notes: 01:30 How does Nokia define OpenRAN? 04:10 OpenRAN has the potential to disrupt how mobile operators will purchase their networks in the future - yet that didn't stop Nokia from being an early supporter of the OpenRAN Alliance.  What was the rationale behind that decision? 05:30 The first major OpenRAN network deployment was Rakuten in Japan - and Nokia was one of the vendors involved in it. What were your major learnings from this deployment? 09:30 What are Nokia's plans for the next phase of OpenRAN? 10:45 It hasn't always been smooth sailing for OpenRAN, not least when Nokia and some other vendors halted their participation in the OpenRAN Alliance due to concerns raised by the US government about IP protection. That has since been resolved, but is this a sign of the challenges OpenRAN will face in the future? 12:00 When some operators, like AT&T, talk about their plans for OpenRAN, they state their initial deployments will be for in-building and rural coverage. Does that mean we won't see it deployed in city centres? 13:15 What does the ideal OpenRAN customer look like? 14:15 OpenRAN and its potential role in Private 5G 15:30 Who / What / Where should we be keeping an eye on for the next phase of growth for OpenRAN? 17:30 Some people believe that it's too late for OpenRAN to be leveraged for 5G network deployments, meaning that it's real impact would be on 6G deployments. Would you agree? 18:30 What are the Critical Success Factors for OpenRAN to live up to the hype? 19:30 What are some of the risks OpenRAN faces (e.g. energy consumption, openness) 21:30 How do you think the OpenRAN Alliance will evolve - and what impact will the hyperscalers have on the industry? 23:35 What's your prediction for how OpenRAN will evolve in the near term (12-24 months)? 26:00 What are the Best & Worst Case Scenarios for OpenRAN in the medium to long term (5-10 years)? 28:00 Beyond OpenRAN, what else excites you about the future of connectivity? (spoiler alert: 6G, Enterprise Solutions, Private Networks)

  Oak Street Health has an amazing vision to rebuild Health Care as It Should Be: Personal, Equitable, and Accountable. The business was launched with a belief in value-based care that was patient-centered, evidence-based, and ensured equal opportunity for good health outcomes across populations, despite the economics being unproven. The business model depends on global capitation and allows the best service for patients in some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities. The high touch, relationship-based, tech-enabled primary care model includes support with medications, transportation, social work, home visits, and more – the sickest 10% of patients receive 78% of Oak Street's dollars. This week, our guest is Dr. Griffin Myers, CMO and co-founder of Oak Street Health. In his own words, the challenge is not providing treatment but winning patients' “trust and building relationships,” something Oak Street has demonstrated successfully with its ability to rapidly scale, to a network of 90 centers in 15 states. The Oak Street Platform is redefining Primary Care by bringing technology-enabled, value-based care to the seniors that represent the highest proportion of healthcare spending in the country. Winning the race to value will depend on many more following in the footsteps of these leaders! Episode Bookmarks: 05:35 The “insane” journey of starting a company that takes full-risk on very sick populations 05:55 “The downstream microeconomics of fee-for-service reimbursement has created a janky, inequitable, low quality health care system.” 06:30 The importance of segmenting your patient population within a payment model that is better aligned with care outcomes 06:40  “We take care of community-dwelling older adults with multiple chronic conditions and adverse social determinants.” 06:50 Full risk, global capitation enabled the development of the Oak Street Health platform. 07:00 Oak Street platform: 1) Community-Based Primary Care Centers, 2) Proprietary Technologies, 3) Value-Added Services to Primary Care 07:35 Dr. Myers discusses how the culture at Oak Street, coupled with the power of global capitation, drives value-based care results. 08:45 Oak Street's Results: 50% reduction of hospital admissions, 52% reduction of ED visits, 35% reduction in 30-day readmission rates, 5-star quality ratings, and a 91 NPS 10:40 Dr. Myers discusses the concept of relationship-based care and how it improves outcomes for underserved populations. 11:20 Referencing Viktor Frankl's “Man Search for Meaning” and how deeply meaningful and trusting relationships provide purpose 12:05 “Trust is the core input to us being able to help patients navigate adverse social determinants.” 12:10 Critical Success Factors: 1) Spending more time with patients with a consistent presence from a longitudinal care team, 2) Deep sense of accountability (“a promise”), 3) Culturally-Competent Care 12:55 “Having people who live in the neighborhoods to which we serve that share a cultural connection with patients helps form trusting relationships.” 13:30 “A value-based model is simply superior technology compared to fee-for-service. Value allows you to incubate and foster relationships to drive outcomes.” 14:40 Inspiration from John Lewis (“Try to be the pilot light not the firecracker.”) when it comes to building a safer, higher quality, more equitable, more affordable health system. 17:35 Referencing the HBS Case Study: “Oak Street Health: A New Model for Primary Care” 17:45 The role of the Clinical Informatics Specialist at Oak Street 18:30 Dr. Myers discusses the evolution of EHR technology at Oak Street and the development of Canopy (winner of the 2021 EHR Innovation Award) 19:40 The Value Flow of the Canopy EHR: “Data, Insights, and Action” 20:15 Deep and long-term relationships between the patients and providers that allows for enhanced data capture.

One of the most common sentiments I have heard from audiences of fitness professionals around the world is that “we change people's lives.  The fact is you can't change anyone's life.  You can encourage change, you can believe in an individual's capacity for change, and you can give people tools and resources, so that they can be more resourceful in the pursuit of change.  However, change is always an inside job.  You can, however, change your own life.  And my guest in this episode will explain three critical factors she successfully uses in her practice that can help you identify and adopt the behaviors that most support what it is you want to be, have and do in your life.  Anna Marie Dorelien came to the United States at age 11, from the Philippines.    She was a youth pastor at the age of 17, a licensed nurse at just 19, teacher by the age of 25, and now she is a Behavior Consultant, Speaker and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, leading a team of Clinicians at “A Friendly Face”, a company she co-founded, dedicated to the treatment of Autistic Children.  Enjoy!
