The problem is we rarely bring it into our day-to-day work.”“It's about being deliberate. You can't just hope for creativity to happen—you have to follow a clear process and cultivate the right environment.”“If you want your team to be more creative, spend time clarifying the real problem before jumping into ideation. Even five minutes can change everything.”“Creative abrasion is when we can disagree around ideas and still respect each other personally.

In this Master Builders episode of Navigating Major Programmes, hosts Riccardo Cosentino and Shormila Chatterjee challenge the mindset around alliance contracts with Jane Ogilvie, the Alliance Director of Toronto's East Harbour Transit Hub Alliance and a 20-year veteran of major projects management in her home country of Australia. Jane shares the details of this collaborative approach—one that has long been popular in certain industries Down Under but is still quite new in Canada. From method variations to adopting an alliance contract model mid-project to the future of this framework in Canada and beyond, Jane's insights highlight the benefits of abandoning an us-versus-them mentality in favour of more collaboration between project participants.“I've ​worked ​on ​P3s ​and ​alliances ​and ​a ​lot ​in ​between, ​as ​I ​mentioned. ​And ​I ​think ​P3s ​still ​have ​their ​place. ​You ​know, ​I ​think ​you ​need ​a ​mix ​of ​the ​different ​styles ​of ​contracts, ​and ​you ​need ​to ​look ​at ​the ​risk ​profile ​of ​a ​project ​to ​see ​which ​one ​makes ​sense. ​You ​know, there are ​some ​types ​of ​contract ​where ​I ​would ​always ​say, ​you ​know, ​a ​P3 ​is ​probably ​a ​better ​model. ​And ​then ​there's ​ones ​that ​I'd ​say, ​obviously ​an ​alliance ​is ​a ​better ​way ​to ​go ​as ​an ​outcome. ​So ​as ​an ​owner, ​I ​think ​you ​need ​to ​look ​at ​that ​spectrum ​of ​where ​is ​the ​risk ​profile? ​How ​much ​of ​the ​risk ​can ​you ​share ​versus ​what's ​still ​a ​retained ​risk ​that ​you ​need ​to ​retain? ​As ​an ​owner, ​you ​can't ​push ​everything ​onto ​a ​contract.” - Jane OgilvieKey Takeaways:The importance of having a legal framework to support collaboration in projects.The demographic differences in the soft skills that best serve collaborative contract participants.The benefits of combining and coordinating multiple alliances in a multi-discipline, large-scale project.How alliance contracts can take project value beyond capital cost.How to determine the ideal methodology for different types of projects.The conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major ProgrammesFollow Riccardo CosentinoFollow Jane OgilvieRead Riccardo's latest a www.riccardocosentino.com Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

In today's corporate and academic environments, success hinges on exploring complexities to uncover opportunities for simplification and innovation. In this episode, host Mike Horne welcomes Nicole Jackson, the Associate Dean of the Agino School of Business at Golden Gate University. With her extensive experience spanning both the corporate sector and academia, Nicole offers invaluable insights, especially in organizational change, strategy, and the concept of organizational ambidexterity.   Nicole introduces the concept of “organizational breathing,” drawing a parallel to the need for individuals to occasionally step back and reassess. She suggests that organizations, too, can benefit from periods of reflection to foster growth and adaptability amid constant change and information overload. The discussion emphasizes the importance of integrating humanistic values and creating a workplace that values appreciation over mere acceptance. Nicole highlights the importance of psychological safety and providing opportunities for individuals to explore their identities within the organizational framework.   The episode also covers the impact of AI on human resources, with Nicole proposing a shift in perspective from AI as a displacer of jobs to a tool that can enhance humanistic management practices. She emphasizes the potential of AI to aid in learning and development, and the importance of developing connoisseurship in the workplace.   Nicole offers guidance for individuals considering advanced business studies, stressing the significance of selecting a path that aligns with both personal passion and current industry trends.   Quotes: "We're bombarded with so much information. The time to let our souls and our identities and even our organizations breathe from all this change has been completely upended." (04:52 | Nicole Jackson)  "We live in such a data-driven world. We need to let the data breathe, take a step back. We don't necessarily need to make the decisions right away. Everything is now a critical event. I think we've thrown ourselves into this mentality of crisis management on an ongoing basis, or looking at how upending and disruption is the latest paradigm, but we really should be looking at continuity building." (07:19 | Nicole Jackson)  "When we talk about living more simply and being more meaningful, it's really allowing people to really examine, go back to the core of who they are." (12:00 | Nicole Jackson) "Let your soul breathe and let your organization breathe. Develop some connoisseurship and create a bouquet of different qualities. I think that's important. We now have the capacity. Think about the tremendous capacity that AI now has for people who normally are oftentimes stigmatized or discriminated against in the workforce. There's been a lot done about the prejudicial AI algorithms. That's a huge concern and it continues to be a concern and it does need to be addressed." (31:24 | Nicole Jackson)  "We have to teach people how to develop connoisseurship. Most people are not taught to be connoisseurs. They're taught to follow in a line, not necessarily to become an expert on a metacognitive level. Traditionally, organizations don't have most of their workers develop those skills. And I think that's going to be critical moving forward."

Today I had the pleasure of hosting an Emmy-nominated leading voice and pioneer in the realm of digital culture and emerging trends, Shira Lazar, who took the internet by storm in 2011 with her groundbreaking web-first news platform, 'What's Trending.'  For over two decades, Shira has been a prominent figure in the creator economy and social media trends, gracing the stages of prestigious conferences like SXSW, VeeCon, NFTNYC and NFTLA.  She was also recognized by Fast Company, which named her one of the Most Influential Women in Technology, and NFTNow, including  her on the NFT100 Most Influential list. Shira's impact also extends beyond her media ventures. She co-founded Peace Inside Live, a digital wellness agency and collective that designs customized well-being programs for innovative companies, teams and communities. Shira is a forward-thinking visionary with a knack for identifying and capitalizing on emerging trends. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to navigate uncertainty empowers her to be innovative and bold in her endeavors. Her new book, The JOMO Journal, where Shira and her co-author Jordana Reim disrupt traditional journaling methods by introducing a more engaging and innovative approach and helping support the Joy of Missing Out.  In the episode, she emphasizes the importance of embracing discomfort and approaching uncertainty with an open mind. However, learning to be comfortable with discomfort requires a shift in perspective. Thus, instead of viewing it as an obstacle, we can reframe it as a catalyst for change and growth which itself is a valuable asset in today's rapidly changing world.  Some powerful takeaways from today's episode: Approach risk with acceptance  You don't have to act instantly towards your goals, but at least have a roadmap  Spend less time being interesting and more time being interested  If you want something done, give it to a busy person If you know what you want and are passionate about, you will always find ways to realize your dreams Links: Shira Lazar's  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shiralazar/ Website: https://www.shiralazar.com https://peace-inside-live.myshopify.com/pages/jomo-journal THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!
