In this episode with Anna Kim, we discuss some principles around doing fieldwork with respect, especially in settings and populations with low economic resources. Our conversation focuses on how we approach such places and people in ways that declutter our cultural assumptions and appreciate them in their own terms, or closer to that, thus potentially generating more appropriate and impactful insights.   Anna Kim is an Associate Professor in Management for Sustainability and Peter Brojde Faculty Scholar in Entrepreneurship at the Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University. She holds a Ph.D. in management studies from the University of Cambridge. Before her academic career, Anna worked for Oxfam International and other international development agencies. Her research interests include organizing for sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and linguistic inclusiveness in organizations. She has explored such topics through ethnographic and qualitative studies in various places, many characterized by resource constraints. These include tea and coffee producer organizations in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Nepal, as well as start-ups in post-industrial Detroit.   Further information Koo, E. J. & Kim, A.

When it's most relevant, Indigenous art can force people to confront important and tough issues. It's also a creative window to view the artist's individuality and identity. We'll mark that creativity on this Pride Month episode, talking with Indigenous LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit artists about the intersection of two driving issues of identity that are both a celebration and a source of contention.

Why do some organizations continue to flourish despite the harm they cause to their workers, consumers, and surrounding communities? Is there a single person or group within an organization who should be blamed for misconduct, or is misconduct a foundational structure within some institutions?

Every second Monday, I break the format by bringing out Chatters - a snackable podcast that is under five minutes in length. I share my insight on the status quo and ideas to bring about positive and substantive change.  In this episode, I share a story at the grocery store that led me to my insight - smartphones and technology are making us less financially literate. I have no empirical evidence, but many people are losing their ability to do even simple math. With a math deficiency, how can someone make critical financial decisions? How can you decipher if that 'too good to be true' offer is a good deal or one that manifests into long-term pain? How can you be an informed voter and understand the implications of what is being promised. Let me know what you think of these Chatters and other topics we should explore to improve the status quo.   FYI: If you are interested, here are four links to sites offering free value-added content on improving your financial well-being.

What does a military officer, a performer acting as Santa Claus, and a tech employee in Silicon Valley have in common? They all work in fields where their bodies are intentionally governed by organizational systems intent on shaping them into an idealized image of a worker. Indeed, every single body engaged in work is encouraged to undergo body work in order to be employable in their chosen industries and maintain their roles. However, body work affects different bodies disproportionately. How does organizational body work impact equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace? And how can we improve systems of body work in organizations to create better working conditions? On the Delve podcast, Professor Rohini Jalan from Desautels Faculty of Management explains the concept of organizational body work as “purposeful efforts to shape bodies, embedded in organizations”. She further explains that workplaces and “its managers, its employees, its organizations have systems that exert efforts intentionally to shape bodies in some form or fashion”. In some industries, body work is explicitly expected and performed, such as the military, sports, and sex work industries. However, in other industries, such as academic institutions, STEM fields, and the creative industry, body work is implicitly carried out on a daily basis.

Could accounting hold the key to successfully implementing climate change initiatives, achieving equality and diversity in the workplace, and contributing towards a more sustainable future? Current research shows that accounting and global regulatory accounting practices are essential for organizations to reach sustainability goals that have a more measurable impact. An accounting perspective can also shift how organizations approach sustainability toward a holistic standpoint instead of piecemeal solutions or departmental silos. On this episode of the Delve podcast, Professor Brian Wenzel from the Desautels Faculty of Management follows up on another Delve podcast episode about the current and future role of accounting in sustainability initiatives. Delve's first conversation with Professor Wenzel focused on how accounting and accounting standards are essential for organizations in reaching their sustainability goals. This episode further examines the future of accounting in sustainability initiatives, covering the topics, insights, and outcomes of the McGill Accounting Research Conference, co-sponsored by the McGill Sustainable Growth Initiative (SGI) at McGill on June 7 and 8, 2023. **This episode of the Delve podcast is produced by Delve and Robyn Fadden.

In this episode, the iconic and world-renowned management expert Henry Mintzberg shares his wisdom on issues of management, organisations and how society needs rebalancing. More than this, Henry generously reflects on his own working methods and approaches, which gives a fascinating insight into his success.    When asked by Simon how he sees things that others don't see, Henry points to his hero, the boy in the Hans Christian Anderson story who told the truth to the crowd that the emperor was naked. This is Henry's perceptive gift, to see what others don't see, or what they don't want to see.   His first success was the book, 'The Nature of Managerial Work'. Henry observed what 5 CEOs actually did at work. This research found that the widely accepted idea that the manager's role was to plan, organise, coordinate & control, was false. By setting out what they actually did, Henry's observations had a major impact on how we think about management. Henry doesn't think he is particularly creative, nor is he a contrarian as some claim, he believes he is perceptive and reports what he sees. Much of Henry's management education approach places observation at the heart of the work; Henry quotes the baseball coach Yogi Berra, who said, ‘You can observe a lot just by watching'. Alongside his strength of perception, his other self-identified strength is to be able to reframe. He reframed strategy from being an exercise of future planning to learning and emergence, and he reframed management education as social learning.   Henry strongly challenges the MBA as “training the wrong people, in the wrong ways with the wrong consequences”. Henry believes management is a mixture of art, science and craft, and yet the MBA focuses only on the science. Challenged to address this deficit in management education, Henry alongside colleague Jonathan Gosling and others, created the International Masters in Practicing Management (IMPM), which aimed to rethink management training, placing learning from practice, and learning from each other at the heart of this work. Rebalancing society is Henry's latest passion, where he realises that we are stuck on thinking about two sectors, how the private and public work, but a vital third sector sits outside the other two, which he calls the plural sector. This is made up of those organisations, not private, or public i.e. NGOs, foundations, universities, charities, community groups, non-profits, etc. The plural sector is a vital part of society, and we are presently way out of balance. Henry's latest book is titled Understanding Organisations…Finally! This is a deeply insightful podcast that we are sure you will both learn from and enjoy! Short Bio Henry Mintzberg is a writer and educator, mostly about managing originations, developing managers, and rebalancing societies (his current focus). After receiving his doctorate from the MIT Sloan School of Management, he has made his professional home in the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University in Montreal, where he sits in the Cleghorn Chair of Management Studies, with extensive stints along the way in England and France. He has authored 21 books which have earned him 21 honorary degrees and an officership in the Order of Canada. He publishes a regular blog, a collection of which was published as Bedtime Stories for Managers. He co-founded the International Masters Program for Managers (impm.org) and the International Masters for Health Leadership (mcgill.ca/imhl) as well as CoachingOurselves.com, all novel initiatives for managers to learn together from their own experience.

Welcome to episode #894 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #894. When you live in a city like Montreal, you often get introduced to people who have both "done the work" and are eager to stay connected. A long while back, I had the pleasure of meeting Professor Karl Moore. And, over the years, we have become friends who often run into one another on the streets of Montreal. With a distinguished position at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management and over 25 years as a Fellow at the University of Oxford, Dr. Karl Moore is no stranger to the leadership pulse of today's world. His interaction with CEOs and the new-gen leaders, the millennials and Gen Zs, is not just cursory — it's insightful. Karl's exploration into the world of CEOs started with his Ph.D., leading him to study leadership dynamics and strategic evolution. His McGill MBA course, CEO Insights, has become a unique conduit for 31 CEOs to share wisdom each fall, morphing over eight years into the highly-acclaimed The CEO Series on Bell Media's CJAD radio station. These engaging one-on-one interviews with prominent CEOs find their way into Forbes and Les Affaires, magnifying his reach and insight. Having collaborated with the legendary Henry Mintzberg for two decades on various leadership programs and having seasoned his expertise with eleven years at IBM and Hitachi, Karl's journey into academia reflects depth and innovation. His five-year faculty stint at Oxford's Said Business School adds another rich layer to his profile. Karl recently published his tenth book, Ok Boomers - Working with Millennials and Zs - a discerning look into the dynamic between generations in leadership. His subsequent work, We Are All Ambiverts Now, based on over 750 interviews with C-suite executives, promises to continue the conversation. His recent talk at Harvard and annual teaching at Stanford stand as testimonials to his profound impact on business thinking. Karl's nomination for the Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement Awards in the Leadership Category acknowledges him as a leading thinker in his field. In the panorama of business leadership and academia, Karl stands as a thought leader, bridging generational insights and pioneering change. Let's dig deep into the world of business, our economy and culture. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:00:06. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.

What can older generations learn from Millennials and Gen Z about leadership, strategy, and dealing with crisis? And how can these younger generations unlock their professional potential by engaging in meaningful work and taking larger roles in organizational strategy and change? On the Delve podcast, Desautels Professor Karl Moore and Lightspeed and Age of Union Founder Dax Dasilva discuss communication beyond traditional hierarchies, the value of reverse mentorship and receiving feedback, and what real equality, diversity, and inclusion can look like in an organization. In Moore's new book, Generation Why: How Boomers Can Lead and Learn from Millennials and Gen Z, he posits a philosophy that has played out in real life: that people over 45, with a university degree, were taught a modern worldview in their education, while people under 35 with a university degree were taught a postmodern worldview. In his investigation, he challenges traditional views of who has truth and knowledge and why.Hear Moore and Dasilva share their thoughts on these worldviews, their experiences, and how to engage, manage, and learn from people across the generational spectrum.

What if just doing your job causes you to lose your job? New technologies have constantly replaced old technologies for hundreds of years, but new digital technologies, namely artificial intelligence and other data-driven technologies, are doing more than replacing old tech—they're replacing the people who create those technologies in the first place.On the Delve podcast, Alain Pinsonneault, Desautels Professor of Information Systems and IMASCO Chair in Information Technology, and fellow Desautels Professor of Information Systems Emmanuelle Vaast examine how digital technology enables and threatens occupational identity—and how data scientists cope with the associated tensions.“Information technology is affecting several dimensions of work: it's creating new jobs, it's eliminating jobs, it's profoundly changing existing jobs,” says Pinsonneault. “Many occupations are very affected by digital technologies today,” explains Vaast. “What we can see for data scientists is going to be seen for many other occupations: these dynamics of identities; the need to constantly redefine what we do; how different are we from other occupations; are we making ourselves obsolete? It's not a question of if it's going to happen, but when it's going to happen, and how it will happen.”Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

What does accounting have to do with sustainability? Essentially, everything. In general, accounting isn't the first thing that comes to mind when most people think about sustainability, whether that means climate targets or diversity on boards. But just as research and regulations around sustainability have expanded in recent years, so has sustainability accounting, focusing on activities of an organization that have a direct impact on its environmental, social, and governance aspects.On the Delve podcast, Desautels accounting professor Brian Wenzel discusses the role of accounting and accounting research in facilitating how organizations reach their sustainability goals. For one, sustainability approaches and new global standards could be integrated into accounting practices to encompass all aspects of an organization's performance, from the big picture to the bottom line.“Accounting perhaps has been part of the problem with sustainability because accounting has led to short-termism inside organizations,” says Wenzel. “Next quarter's profits are much more tangible than something that will happen five or 10 years down the road. Even if making a sacrifice now will lead to a greater good in a decade, that's harder to quantify because it's so far in the future. Accounting maybe has been part of the problem but could also solve it.”This episode of the podcast is a collaboration between Delve, the McGill Sustainable Growth Initiative and its Director and Desautels Professor Javad Nasiry.

Craft business, such as microbreweries and ethical chocolate companies, has seen a rise in the past several years, with many claiming to put values over excessive profit. Meanwhile, larger, economically driven businesses, such as Silicon Valley Bank, have imploded in the wake of questionable decision making. Are craft businesses somehow more ethical or moral than others? Or is business ethics an oxymoron? The answer really depends on values. In this episode of the Delve podcast, On this episode, Jo-Ellen Pozner, a professor at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University, joins Desautels Professor and Delve Editor-in-Chief Saku Mantere in an inspired conversation that asks how ethics affects the ways that businesses fundamentally function, from everyday operations to how leadership and boards make strategic decisions.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

Why is being overqualified for a sought-after job at a desirable workplace seen as a drawback? Despite having prestigious educations and impressive work credentials, these candidates get turned down by hiring managers, often before they even get an interview. Desautels Professor Roman Galperin ran experimental studies to figure out what hiring managers really thought about these exceptionally qualified job candidates. They found that the signals that candidates give about their capability for a job are linked to hiring managers' perceptions of commitment—namely, the concern that overqualified applicants are a flight risk. On the Delve podcast, Galperin discusses why that is, what people can do about it when navigating the labour market, and why prospective employers should think again about these overqualified, highly knowledgeable job seekers—especially in a time when AI technologies are increasingly applied in the workplace.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

Logically everyone knows that software doesn't have feelings, but AI chatbots that express emotion—as well as other advanced artificial intelligence tools like Google AI's chatbot and ChatGPT—have a sentient quality that places them somewhere between machine and human. Conventional customer service wisdom shows that when human employees express positive emotion, customers give higher evaluations of the service. But when emotionally expressive chatbots enter the equation, people's reactions change depending on their expectations. Research by Desautels Faculty of Management professor Elizabeth Han investigates the effects of AI-powered chatbots that express positive emotion in customer service interactions. In theory, making software appear more human and emotionally upbeat sounds like a great idea, but in practice, as Han's research shows, most people aren't quite ready to make a cognitive leap across the uncanny valley.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

How useful, overhyped, or even detrimental are digital technologies in a crisis? Zoom came in to save the day when work went remote during the COVID-19 pandemic, online shopping and food delivery became even more normalized, even doctors' appointments went online. What can be learned from experiences of crisis-driven technology use, both on an individual and organizational scale? For many, these digital technologies and even more specialized innovations provided a kind of utopian hope for large-scale societal change. In reality, the acceleration of digital innovation across sectors and the world has disrupted business as usual and exposed systemic challenges and inequalities. This is what Cambridge professor Michael Barrett points out on the Delve podcast as he discusses his latest research examining the possibilities and limits of digital innovation.“Any crisis will disrupt work practices in ways that challenge routines that have a need for new ways of operating,” explains Barrett. “We have seen how at scale, digital platforms allow us to engage in activities, whether it's telemedicine, whether it's learning opportunities or sales meetings through Zoom, many things that we knew were possible, but didn't scale anywhere near that. But we must also always look at the tension and the critical issues that might produce new risks, in that these platforms are becoming increasingly indispensable and overdependence on them raises concerns.”For research-based insights on diversity, equity, and inclusion in job recruitment, listen to the Delve podcast interview and read the article with Michael Barrett on Delve.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

In the past few years of the Covid pandemic, many people have left or lost their jobs and sought out new ones. Who has succeeded and who hasn't depends not only on merit and ability, but on who you know—word-of-mouth is one of the most common ways that people learn about and are encouraged to apply for jobs. And who you know typically reflects your gender, race, and other influential differences that in policy terms are markers of diversity. Examining the role gender plays in job recruitment and hiring can lead to a more diverse workforce that benefits both organizations and society.On the Delve podcast, Desautels Faculty of Management Professor Brian Rubineau discusses new research that shows how gender is a factor in word-of-mouth recruiting, as well as in who actually applies for the job in the first place and who reapplies after they've been rejected. Some of his findings surprised him.For research-based insights on diversity, equity, and inclusion in job recruitment, listen to the Delve podcast interview and read the article with professor Rubineau on Delve.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

You don't have to wait for empathy to strike. You can intentionally choose to engage in what my guest today calls Purposeful Empathy to change the dynamic of any interaction. But how? And how do you maintain your own boundaries when being empathic is part of your job?  Today, my guest, Anita Nowak, shares what purposeful empathy is, how and when to engage it, and even how to step back and reclaim your boundaries when empathy could burn you out. We both share personal stories of when we've actively chosen empathy in tough situations and how it transformed the exchange. We discuss the physiological changes to  our bodies that occur when we are engaged in empathy - and how empathogens, or certain psychedelics that have been shown to increase empathy, could be applied for therapeutic treatments to heal trauma, control aggression, or other instances where human connection can be challenging.  Key Takeaways:We are born empathetic creatures, that is how our species has survived. For those who think they aren't empathetic, that muscle has atrophied and can be rebuilt again. Our brains cannot be in a state of anxiety or stress and in the state of empathy simultaneously.There has been a resurgence of research on the study of psychedelics and the potential it has for therapy. Previous research showed a positive relationship between taking these drugs, being accompanied by a trained professional, and outcomes as a result.  "When it comes to the way we design our world, the way we design public policy, the way that we think about foreign aid, the way we think about how we treat each other and our families and our relationships across political divides, that we need to engage in empathy on purpose." —  Anita Nowak"If you're feeling triggered by emotions, and you want to down regulate or self regulate, one of the best on ramps to empathy is through a little visit of gratitude." —  Anita Nowak"We, as human beings, want a sense of belonging by nature.

How would definitions of business growth and success change if entrepreneurship ventures decided that instead of scaling up, they would “scale deep”? On the Delve podcast, Desautels Faculty of Management professor Anna Kim and her co-author Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Professor Suntae Kim discuss their eight-year study of two entrepreneurship-nurturing organizations in Detroit, revealing important differences in resourcing modes and venture growth. What they observed in that city is happening in many other places, whether small towns or big cities, rural or urban, where the issue of revitalization is top of mind. “With the scaling deep approach, the more locally embedded approach, because you keep working with local partners, utilizing local resources, and making connections in those local contexts, your services and products become very, very meaningful locally,” explains Anna Kim. “But it doesn't actually mean a lot outside of Detroit or outside of a certain neighborhood. So it actually anchors them even more deeply in the local context.”Read more on Delve.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

When does deviance from the norm propel a career or stop it in its tracks? The enforcement of certain norms and legalities around intellectual property isn't always up to the law—it's up to the community. Desautels professor Amandine Ody-Brassier discovered that within the electronic dance music (EDM) community, norms around unlawful activities such as illegal remixes are loose and often garner support, even career-launching acclaim. Her research asks how norms—appropriate, though not necessarily legal, behaviors shared by community members—affect careers and other economic outcomes in creative occupations.Read more on Delve.Delve is the official thought leadership platform of McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management.

What regulations are at play when financial institutions, hedge funds, mutual fund managers, and others invest in stocks and businesses in another country—and who do those regulations ultimately benefit? Despite protecting both foreign investors and countries' domestic markets, regulatory constraints still present certain barriers to foreign investment, especially in times of market stress, inflation, and increased interest rates. Desautels Professor Francesca Carrieri examines the dynamics of global market integration before and after the 2008 financial crisis, asking what level of risk will foreign investors take today in the name of diversification of their portfolios? "What we can do is strengthen the financial system overall, but also make sure that, under certain conditions, institutional investors have the liquidity necessary to strengthen their underlying positions,” says Carrieri.Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

Bank loans are the typical first step for most small and medium-sized businesses, but another form of business lending has emerged: FinTech companies that use algorithms to determine whether a business is worth the risk. Desautels Professor Paul Beaumont's research has found that firms served by FinTech platforms have fewer tangible assets than bank borrowers—yet relative to similar firms that take out bank loans or were denied FinTech credit, FinTech borrowers experience a long-term 20% increase in bank credit after receiving their FinTech loan. “We have been lending the same way to small and medium-sized enterprises now for decades,” says Beaumont. “FinTechs constitute an innovation in the way we lend to firms. This is exciting because it means that finally we have invented a new business model to provide funds to small and medium-sized businesses… What we observed is that, in a sense, FinTechs fill the void left by banks when banks lend less often to small and medium-sized businesses.”Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

What if using a ride-hailing app like Uber or Lyft could help decrease a city's carbon emissions? Combined with public transit use and municipal policy changes, that's beginning to happen. However, the bigger, less understood question is what motivates people to choose their cars over the bus, or Uber over walking to work. New data-driven research from Desautels Professor Animesh Animesh shows the environmental impact of ride-hailing and how comprehensive urban planning policies could make the skies a lot clearer.“Our suggestion to city policymakers is that you should look at the distribution of riders, drivers, and walkers in your community,” says Animesh. “Accordingly, you will be able to figure out the impact of Uber on the traffic and environment in general.”Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

As the Central bank continues to address historically high inflation with interest rate hikes, talk of recession is overwhelming our tvs and airways. Today, we take a step back from the fanfare and talk facts about inflation, recession and the power of speculation. Longtime economist and academic, Dr Dungan from the University of Toronto gets us up to speed on the topic, while our second guest Dr Sebastien Betermier from McGill's Desautels Faculty will give us a breakdown on financial tools available to help us prepare in the case of a recession.    Guests: Dr Peter Dungan - Rotman School of Management Dr Sebastien Betermier - McGill's Desautels Faculty of Management   Produced by: Anna Lazaris - Executive Producer

What does the word “entrepreneurship” immediately bring to mind? Risk and reward, innovation and hard work, funding and financial growth, filling gaps in the market? In truth, that answer looks different around the world, in both formal and informal economies, depending on how the local, state, and national economies function and on how the culture views business ownership. On the Delve podcast, Desautels Faculty of Management Professor Robert Nason discusses informal economies and the institutions that shape them, pointing out what has been missed in how Western economic thought defines entrepreneurial growth, and what can be learned from the less rigid, arguably more inclusive nature of informal economies.Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

How has management thinking changed in the past 50 years and where might management be headed today? In his research and writing, management scholar Henry Mintzberg covers not only the past 50 years but looks toward the future of managing organizations, developing managers, and rebalancing society, from business to politics to higher education.In a big-picture Delve podcast on crucial management, leadership, and organizational issues, Desautels Professor and preeminent management scholar Henry Mintzberg talks with Desautels Professor and Delve Editor-in-Chief Saku Mantere. Their conversation launches the fourth season of the Delve podcast, dedicated to thought leadership and critical thinking in management research at the McGill Desautels Faculty of Management.Mintzberg changed the management landscape with his concepts of strategies being something that people did together in organizations, that strategies could emerge from collective learning rather than be prescribed as formal models, explains Mantere, whose own work focuses on strategic organizations and change.“Strategies are learned: you try things, you do different things, you hit something, you discover something you didn't expect,” says Mintzberg. In recent years, Mintzberg has expanded his research to explore broader, timely, and pressing societal questions that tackle climate change, education, political divides, and social inequities. As Mantere explains in his introduction to the podcast, Mintzberg's research showed that strategy emerges not only within organizations but between organizations of very different kinds—NGOs, firms, policy organizations, governments—all these have to come together if we think about these grand challenges of society.Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

While tax policies are complicated and often seem unfair, new global solutions can both simplify how corporations pay their taxes and make payment more equitable for countries owed their share of tax revenue. In episode 10 of the second season of The New Normal podcast series, Desautels Professor Preetika Joshi joins journalist Dave Kaufman to discuss tax avoidance and income shifting by corporations, including whether country-by-country reporting is an effective tax avoidance deterrent and how new technologies like blockchain and AI will make tax avoidance more difficult in the future. “Country-by-country reporting requires large multinational corporations to file a form, disclosing global allocation of activities and profits in all jurisdictions a corporation calls home,” explains Joshi. For example, Apple would file this form in the United States, RBC would file in Canada, but the U.S. and Canada would take that form and would share it with the tax administrations of every country where these companies have operations. For companies like Apple, that's almost every country.”“It's a pretty significant problem,” she continues. “The estimate can run into hundreds of billions of dollars globally, and this has been growing over the years.” In 2018, the international monetary fund estimated this to be around 500 to 600 billion, more than many countries' GDPs put together.

Could Artificial Intelligence tools decide who gets hired or fired, who gets a raise, or who's ready to be a mentor? Some already are, to varying levels of success. Hundreds of AI-based tools already exist for use in Human Resources tasks, including hiring, training, and employee engagement, but it's often difficult to discern their use value, let alone how to use them effectively and ethically, an arguable essential in HR. Desautels Professor Matissa Hollister, lead author of the World Economic Forum's Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence for Human Resources: A Toolkit for Human Resources Professionals, discusses how organizations can navigate and overcome the responsibilities and challenges they face when implementing AI in Human Resources. “AI is a cutting-edge tool that encodes the status quo,” says Hollister. “The hope is that the toolkit will make organizations think more about why they're using AI in the first place. It's important to still allow the human to make the final decision, but also provide them with guidelines about how they should be using the system and how they need to also document their decision.”Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

Artificial Intelligence innovation thrives in an environment where business arenas, fundamental research, and thought leadership overlap. As seen in recent cross-sector AI initiatives in Montreal, determining the capacities of AI and related data analytics applications is essential to understanding how they will play out in the wider world, whether analyzing healthcare data or implementing predictive analytics in retail. On the Delve podcast, Desautels Professor Maxime Cohen demystifies how retailers can use data analytics to predict demand, make operational decisions, and boost revenue.“It's impossible for a human brain to process so much information and to find all the hidden patterns and correlations between different types of features in order to make accurate predictions,” says Cohen. “That's why in the specific case of a demand prediction in retail, machine learning algorithms are very useful and have been successfully applied to get very high prediction demands.”Read more on Delve and read the transcript.

McGill Business Professor Henry Mintzberg is the author of 20 books on management, creator of two revolutionary international management programs, and the recipient of a mountain of accolades and honors for his thought leadership in the business world. Mintzberg minces no words in his pointed criticism of current approaches to management training and the behavior of those in management and leadership positions. In this interview, Professor Mintzberg comments on the value of an MBA in providing management skills:“Anybody who comes out of a business school should have a stamp on his or her forehead—like a skull and crossbones—that says Warning! Not Prepared to Manage.”He explains how managers get distorted during traditional business education. Management is a practice where art, craft and science intersect. Because the art and craft cannot be taught in a business school setting, the “science” has become the focus of graduate business education. Thus, MBAs emerge with skills in marketing, finance, and accounting but lack the very “essence” of management—the art and the craft. He explains why “remote control managers” are dangerous. These are people who manage by the numbers, with monitoring and measuring substituting for actually knowing what's going on in the business. This lack of understanding has implications for the success and capacity of the organization and disconnection from the ground floor of the organization impairs innovation.Professor Mintzberg says healthcare should not be run like a business. In fact, he states, “most businesses should not be run like a business.” He makes it clear that this is especially true in professions and in services like medicine and healthcare. Healthcare is not a business, it's a calling.Professor Mintzberg points to the pros and cons of various groups such as physicians, nurses, MBAs, accountants and others who seek to lead healthcare institutions. He believes managers must know and understand the services being offered, be unequivocally collaborative, and humble enough to learn. Physicians who succeed in business are those who collaborate and build relationships. Mintzberg, an internationally recognized iconoclast, believes jail is the most appropriate destination for board members who approve super-sized CEO salaries and for the executives who accept them. He states that huge salaries are dysfunctional nonsense and the opposite of leadership that leads to “a kind of narcissism.” When asked about incentives for physicians, Professor Mintzberg exudes enthusiasm. “Yes! A patient whose life has been saved and who is appreciative is a terrific incentive!” But treating physicians like caged pigeons and giving them little rewards for their work is just silliness. Professor Mintzberg talks about the structure, purpose, and successes of the International Masters for Health Leadership program which he co-founded. And he shares a high level overview of his important work focused on the need to rebalance society. An imbalance in three sectors, the public, private and what he calls the plural sector, are at the root of many of society's most harmful and dysfunctional patterns. This is so relevant to healthcare, which is being destroyed by inroads by the profit-driven private sector.

He sits in the Cleghorn Chair of Management Studies and has had extensive visiting professorships at INSEAD in France and the London Business School in England.As an internationally renowned author and educator, he has received an avalanche of honorary degrees, awards, and recognition for his iconoclastic thought leadership in the realm of business. He has authored 20 books and nearly 200 articles, and speaks frequently on podcasts and regularly publishes a TWOG (Tweet to Blog) which he calls “provocative fun.”He co-founded and remains active in the International Masters Program for Managers and the International Masters for Health Leadership as well as the venture CoachingOurselves.com. These are all novel, successful, and highly regarded initiatives for managers to learn together from their own experience, with CoachingOurselves.com occurring in the participants' own workplace.Professor Mintzberg is also an outdoorsman and collector of peculiar beaver sculptures, which he enthusiastically discusses in this episode.Resources:•Website: https://mintzberg.org/•Newest Book: https://mintzberg.org/books/bedtime-stories-for-managers•Website: https://rebalancingsociety.org/•Twitter: @mintzberg141 •International Masters Program for Managers: https://impm.org/•International Masters for Health Leadership: https://www.mcgill.ca/desautels/programs/international-masters-health-leadership•SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER: https://bit.ly/LicensedToLeadSignup

Welcome back to the show all about sensible investing in Canada! Today we have yet another masterclass with a wonderful guest, Sebastien Betermier. Sebastian is an Associate Professor of Finance at Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University, where he teaches investment management, applied investments, and pension funds retirement systems. We have a deep, thoughtful, and precise conversation with him about his recent research and papers, much of which stands in contrast to our usual fare on the show. In our chat, we dive into the nuts and bolts of asset allocation, hedging risk, and his research into what demographics can teach us about investment behaviours and returns. We also hear from our guest about interesting topics of expected persistence and tilting towards value stocks, before shifting the conversation towards homeownership and property investment. Sebastien provides some sound advice around when it might be a good idea to purchase property over other asset classes, and we evaluate this position from a number of different investing perspectives. Lastly, we spend some time looking at pension plans, and what we can learn from those available in Canada right now.   Key Points From This Episode:   Sebastien explains the theoretical relationship between labor income and financial asset allocation. [0:04:30] Findings on hedging labour income risks and the paper that Sebastien published on the subject.

When you think of Montreal sports, you probably think of hockey and Stanley Cup championships. This is for good reason, but the intersection of politics and sports in this Quebec city is far more complex than you might've guessed.

Episode SummaryAre you an extrovert or an introvert? Karl Moore has interviewed hundreds of CEOs and concluded that many were neither. Or, more precisely, many were both. These “ambiverts,” who were outgoing when the situation called for it, introspective at other times, adjusted to the situation they were in. Which holds a pretty powerful lesson for each of us, whether it is how to communicate more effectively or how to show up at work and at home. Syd and Karl dig into this, and more, in this episode of The Sydcast. Syd Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.

Insights from this episode:Differences between Canada and America, their CEOs, and the balancing between self-confidence and humility by leaders.Defining an ambivert, explaining extrovert and introvert breaks, and the importance of authenticity.Leaders' and ambiverts' understanding of how to customize and adjust to the situation around them.The issues with implicit bias and the importance of listening to other communities, especially indigenous leaders.The character traits and actions needed in becoming a great leader/CEO, interviewing processes, and advice from Karl to the youth.Quotes from the show:“But I think these days in COVID-19, more CEOs in the US around the world are going a little bit more humble mode, but there is still that need for the inspiring leadership of the CEO to say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna make it through. We have the abilities, the strength, and the wonderful capabilities.'” — Karl Moore [13:52] “And so an ambivert is someone who can act like an introvert at times and an extrovert at other times.” — Karl Moore [15:48]“So the tendency of an extrovert is to do that, but you might have to fake it till you make it. In the sense that we understand that the right thing is to be more like an introvert and listen…. but we have to bite our tongues.” — Karl Moore [19:08]“So you might be a square peg in a round hole…. I kinda found where my personality and who I am fit with the nature of my job, so I think that's what you want in the medium term to find out where it's a great fit, but still be flexible on occasion.” — Karl Moore [25:35]“The ability to listen and come up with some pretty good questions makes a difference.” — Karl Moore [28:48]“How do you know you're done is when you hear nothing new.” — Karl Moore [36:01]On the topic of introversion and extroversion: “And so the key thing is, you have to be just willing. You have to recognize that you can learn this.” — Syd Finkelstein [46:22]“Because so many people frame others and categorize others and of course we see that with male/female. We see that with black/white and other kinds of simplifications and as you know it's a very very powerful thing, implicit bias.” — Syd Finkelstein [51:04]“But two things strike me is that you gotta deliver, you gotta perform in your earlier job….but you also know how to build networks and work with people effectively.” — Karl Moore [57:42] “And part of it is saying, go broad, that specific sets of knowledge are gonna become dated, but the ability to learn and think is good for your life.” — Karl Moore [1:00:03]Stay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastKarl MooreWebsite: https://www.mcgill.ca/desautels/karl-mooreLinkedin: Karl MooreTwitter: @profkjmooreForbes: Karl Moore's BlogSoundCloud: CEO SeriesSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry (www.podcastlaundry.com)
