Are you interested in public-private partnerships for improved urban futures? Summary of the article titled Critical success factors for public-private partnerships in urban regeneration projects from 2024 by Paula Vale de Paula, Rui Cunha Marques, and Jorge Manuel Goncalves, published in the MDPI Infrastructures journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Sally Capp in episode 296 talking about the importance of the public-private partnership endeavours for urban futures. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how can this structure enhance regenerative development. This article investigates the critical success factors for public-private partnerships for urban regeneration projects. Find the article through this link. Abstract: Public–Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements are used in different sectors in the provision of infrastructure and public services. The use of PPP agreements in urban regeneration projects, although more recent, has been gaining prominence in different contexts. However, in many cases, PPP projects have a controversial implementation, often not achieving the proposed objectives and presenting negative results. Their controversial implementation is the result of a lack of knowledge and lack of application of the best practices and Critical Success Factors (CSFs) associated with them. Based on this, the present study aims to identify and analyze the CSFs for PPP arrangements in urban regeneration projects. The study was conducted in two distinct parts. The first part consists of a literature review on the PPP CSFs in general. The second part consists of the development of a questionnaire seeking to identify the CSFs of PPP arrangements for urban regeneration projects. Based on the literature review and the questionnaire answers, the main success factors of PPP projects for urban regeneration were identified and structured in the framework with five main clusters: two related to the external environment (enabling environment and exogenous factors) and three related to the internal environment (preparation phase, procurement phase, and contract management phase).

In this episode, I share some of my work related to lung health in partnership with Carrier Sekani Family Services and First Nations communities in north central British Columbia. I talk a bit about why I am doing this work, then described some of the activities we did on our recent trip a couple of weeks ago. I mention some of the principles I bring as the researcher to this work, in terms of responsibility, opportunity, flexibility and accountability, and why I'm drawn to the unpredictable nature of research down outside of the hospital or university setting.

Most people by now have heard of a CSA, community supported agriculture, where you commit to purchase local farm produce on a regular basis, assuring the farmer of a stable source of income and the consumer of a regular source of fresh, local produce. But have you heard of a CSF? That's a community supported fishery and operates on the same concept. In 2010, our next guest and her husband actually started one of the first CSFs in the nation in our Lowcountry. Mike Switzer interviews Kerry Marhefka, co-owner of Abundant Seafood in Mt. Pleasant, SC.

Sonia Strobel is the co-founder and CEO of Skipper Otto, a Community Supported Fishery based on Coast Salish territory in Vancouver, BC. Sonia was recently appointed to the Executive of the Local Catch Network, and serves as an Advisor for both the Fisheries for Communities Coalition and Slow Fish Canada. She is president of the Friends of Granville Island Society, a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and a business mentor with The Forum. We are excited to have Sonia as a guest on The Blue Fish Radio Show. We discuss the growing importance of CSFs as food insecurity increases across Canada and around the world causing people to seek out more reliable sources of truly sustainably caught seafood.

[Ep 189] When I feel my writing getting a little stale, I start looking around for a teacher. Now, I don't mean I'm looking for a class with an instructor, although that's certainly another way to learn and grow as a writer. I mean I start looking around for an author and text that has something to teach me. In this way, I can continually improve my skills as a writer. Develop a Customized Course of Study A lot of writers feel a strong urge to enter an MFA program to do this. If you feel compelled to pursue that, by all means, research it and see if that's the best next step for you. But you don't have to embark on a pre-planned course of study. You can develop your own path to establish a writing foundation, to build on an existing set of skills and experience, or to refresh your techniques after falling into a writing rut. Without spending a dime, you can invent an efficient, customized writing course using resources readily available online or at your local library to build your skills and style. By including reading, study, analysis, and practice pertaining to your biggest areas of struggle or weakness, you can write to discover the skills and techniques you're lacking and integrate them into your work. Discover New Skills the Ben Franklin Way Novelist James Scott Bell wrote an article about how to strengthen your fiction the Ben Franklin way.1 He explains how Ben Franklin came up with his own self-study course to grow in virtues. Franklin made a grid and evaluated whether or not he was successful in his pursuit of a given virtue each week. In The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, the Founding Father concluded he did not attain perfection, as he had hoped, but “was, by the endeavor, a better and happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it.”2 James Scott Bell proposes the fiction writer identify key areas to develop into a stronger writer much as Franklin identified his list of virtues. Bell calls these key areas “critical success factors,” or CSFs.3 He explains: Business and sales folk have been using Franklin's system for decades to improve their own performance. Not via Franklin's virtues, but by determining their own areas of competence. These are called critical success factors.4 Bell goes through each CSF a fiction author would want to develop and points to related resources: if the reader wants to learn about scenes, voice, or other aspects of fiction, Bell provides links to articles or books that can address each of those. By tapping into these resources, the writer develops his own self-study course.5 You can do the same. Discover Your Critical Success Factors You can make a list of what you feel are your personal CSFs related to the writing you do. In this way, any of us can identify an area to improve in and find instruction and models pertaining to that exact skill or technique and we can learn from them. For fiction, you could check out James Scott Bell's list in that article, where he cites the seven key elements a fiction writer could focus on: plot structure characters scenes dialogue voice meaning (theme).6 You could make a list of CSFs for nonfiction writers. This might include research, idea development and organization, sentence fluency and word choice, grammar skills, or something as focused as transitions. Find Mentor Texts Find some “mentors,” or more accurately, some “mentor texts” you can study and learn from—mentors who excel in the areas where you feel you're weak. Some of these mentor texts may be instructional, explaining how to do things. Others may simply serve as models. When you find a mentor text like that—that's a model—it's time for close reading. And I've found that close reading is achieved easily with a practice we normally think of for children: copy work. Any adult ready to develop stronger skills can practice copy work.

Now, I don’t mean I’m looking for a class with an instructor, although that’s certainly another way to learn and grow as a writer. I mean I start looking around for an author and text that has something to teach me. In this way, I can continually improve my skills as a writer. Develop a Customized Course of Study A lot of writers feel a strong urge to enter an MFA program to do this. If you feel compelled to pursue that, by all means, research it and see if that’s the best next step for you. But you don’t have to embark on a pre-planned course of study. You can develop your own path to establish a writing foundation, to build on an existing set of skills and experience, or to refresh your techniques after falling into a writing rut. Without spending a dime, you can invent an efficient, customized writing course using resources readily available online or at your local library to build your skills and style. By including reading, study, analysis, and practice pertaining to your biggest areas of struggle or weakness, you can write to discover the skills and techniques you’re lacking and integrate them into your work. Discover New Skills the Ben Franklin Way Novelist James Scott Bell wrote an article about how to strengthen your fiction the Ben Franklin way.1 He explains how Ben Franklin came up with his own self-study course to grow in virtues. Franklin made a grid and evaluated whether or not he was successful in his pursuit of a given virtue each week. In The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, the Founding Father concluded he did not attain perfection, as he had hoped, but “was, by the endeavor, a better and happier man than I otherwise should have been if I had not attempted it.”2 James Scott Bell proposes the fiction writer identify key areas to develop into a stronger writer much as Franklin identified his list of virtues. Bell calls these key areas “critical success factors,” or CSFs.3 He explains: Business and sales folk have been using Franklin’s system for decades to improve their own performance. Not via Franklin’s virtues, but by determining their own areas of competence. These are called critical success factors.4 Bell goes through each CSF a fiction author would want to develop and points to related resources: if the reader wants to learn about scenes, voice, or other aspects of fiction, Bell provides links to articles or books that can address each of those. By tapping into these resources, the writer develops his own self-study course.5 You can do the same. Discover Your Critical Success Factors You can make a list of what you feel are your personal CSFs related to the writing you do. In this way, any of us can identify an area to improve in and find instruction and models pertaining to that exact skill or technique and we can learn from them. For fiction, you could check out James Scott Bell’s list in that article, where he cites the seven key elements a fiction writer could focus on: plot structure characters scenes dialogue voice meaning (theme).6 You could make a list of CSFs for nonfiction writers. This might include research, idea development and organization, sentence fluency and word choice, grammar skills, or something as focused as transitions. Find Mentor Texts Find some “mentors,” or more accurately, some “mentor texts” you can study and learn from—mentors who excel in the areas where you feel you’re weak. Some of these mentor texts may be instructional, explaining how to do things. Others may simply serve as models. When you find a mentor text like that—that’s a model—it’s time for close reading. And I’ve found that close reading is achieved easily with a practice we normally think of for children: copy work. Any adult ready to develop stronger skills can practice copy work. It forces close reading.

Even if you know about Community Supported Agriculture, or CSAs, you might not be aware that there is something called Community Supported Fisheries, or CSFs. One of them is Sitka Salmon Shares. CEO Nicolaas Mink explains how they are working to keep ocean fishing sustainable, and he reveals some things you probably should know about the fish you're buying now.

KPIs, metrics, and CSFs are all related. But how and what do they mean?? Listen to this podcast to find out!

When dose dense treatment was first described we were greatly enthusiastic for all women with breast cancer. As the experience has matured we now realize that the benefit is confined to women with ER negative cancers. We think it is time to question our use of CSFs and dose dense treatment in ER+ women based on 2 large trials and a conclusive meta-analysis.

This week on The Farm Report Erin and Heather talk to Sabrina Wilensky of Corbin Hill Farms. Sabrina explains the difference between Community Shareholder Farms and CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). It turns out CSFs may be equally if not more important to growing the good food movement, as they don’t entail some of the deal-breaking features found in CSAs (like steep initial membership fees). Tune in to hear yet another great idea to improve our food system! This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods Market. Rebecca Wilk grabs hay to mulch vegetable plants at the Corbin Hill Farm
