Podcasts about impact hubs

Warum diese Folge des Goodcasts in einer alten Brauerei stattfindet und was das wiederum mit dem Berghain und Yoko Ono zu tun hat, kann nur einer beantworten, unser heutiger Gast: Leon Reiner. Er erklärt uns, was ein Impact Unternehmen ist und wie es sich von stink normalen Sozialunternehmen unterscheidet. Denn Leon ist Board Member beim Impact Hub Berlin, sprich er ist einer von vielen Knotenpunkten des weltweit größten Netzwerks für soziale Innovationen. In über 54 Ländern inspirieren und verbinden die Impact Hubs seit 2005 mehr als 15.000 Changemaker, um Ideen für eine nachhaltigere Welt zu entwickeln. Dafür bieten sie Zugang zu Schulungen und Arbeitsräumen, halten Vorträge und leiten Inkubationsprogramme und arbeiten dabei mit lokalen und globalen Unternehmen sowie Organisationen und Institutionen, die an der Schnittstelle von Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik sind. Leon und Julius diskutieren darüber, wie Sozialunternehmen einen gerechteren Markt schaffen können, im Wettbewerb mit konventionellen Unternehmen bestehen bleiben und welchen Herausforderungen sich auch Leon selbst als Unternehmer in den vergangenen Jahren stellen musste. https://www.linkedin.com/in/leon-reiner/?originalSubdomain=de https://www.muxmaeuschenwild-magazin.de/leon-reiner/ https://berlin.impacthub.net/blog/transforming-impact-entrepreneurship/ https://impacthubberlin.teamtailor.com/ https://www.drmariahoffacker.com/anders-unternehmen-nachhaltiger-impact-mit-leon-reiner-128/ Musik: https://youtu.be/HtUH9z_Oey8 ________________________________________________________ Eine Produktion von MAKIKO* für die Viva Equality gemeinnützige UG Gastgeber: Julius Bertram Redaktion: Jeanna Lee Miller; Jamie Tom Seeliger Mitarbeit: Martin Gertz Produktion: MAKIKO*

The latest in the series of Jericho Conversations podcasts finds Jericho founder Robert Phillips in thoughtful discussion with Indy Johar, widely celebrated as one of the UK’s foremost system designers and thinkers. This is not a recession, argues Indy, but a trigger-point for a much wider systems re-set that challenges centuries-old orthodoxies of economics, politics and leadership. There is an urgent need for true leadership to emerge beyond just the reactive nature of what we have seen in the crisis so far – because “not leading is not an option”.“This isn’t a voluntary transition moment, I think it’s actually whether you’re viable in the next economy. This is not a moral crusade, it’s an operational model in a new society where interdependence is more valuable and more critical”.Indy is an architect by training and the creator of multiple Impact Hubs. Dark Matter, his latest venture, is a field laboratory focused on radically redesigning the bureaucratic & institutional infrastructure of cities, regions and towns for a more democratic, distributed great transition – with offices and teams advising governments in Canada, Sweden and South Korea as well as the UK. Indy brings a truly global perspective – and scenarios and future models – to the current crisis.

Vom Bänker zum Social Entrepreneur Dirk Sander von Anthropia Im Gespräch mit Dirk Sander von Anthropia wird eins gleich zu Anfang erkennbar: die Herkunft muss nicht den eigenen Weg bestimmen. Genauso wenig muss man, um seine Ziele zu erreichen, immer einen geraden Weg gehen. Hier trifft wohl der bekannte Spruch “Viele Wege führen nach Rom” voll ins Schwarze. Auch ein ungerader Weg führt dich ins Ziel. So wie auch bei Dirk, der 17 Jahre erst bei einer Bank beschäftigt war und nun bei dem Thema Social Entrepreneurship gelandet ist. Wichtig ist nur, dass du eine Vision entwickelst. Das Ziel musst du natürlich vor Augen haben. Festgefahrene Systeme Als Social Entrepreneur möchtest du oftmals bestehende Systeme ändern. Aber gerade das stellt sich oft als große Herausforderung dar. Gerade wenn man diese von Innen ändern möchte. Vielleicht ist es besser anders zu denken. Neu zu denken und komplette Systeme neu zu erstellen, die dann alte ablösen können. So etwas kann schwierig von Innen geschehen, es sei denn es wird gewollt. Doch wie findet man Wege aus dem System? Wie erschafft man sich ein eigenes? Du musst versuchen, die Vision, die du kreierst, zu leben. So wie Dirk. Er hat den Sprung ins kalte Wasser gewagt – und gewonnen. Geh auf die Aufgaben zu, sprich Leute an, geh hin. By the way: Das ist auch genau die Methode, wie ich mit Muhammad Yunus für die Podcast Folge “Ich wünsche mir …“ ins Gespräch gekommen ist. Andere Denkweisen bringen dich voran Social Entrepreneurs handeln intuitiv und verbünden sich mit anderen Unternehmen um ein gemeinsames Ziel zu erreichen. Mal mit Ausnahme von Startups wird dies in der “normalen Unternehmenswelt” selten gemacht. Schaue dir hierzu gerne noch mal das Thema Effectuation an. Diese Einzigartigkeit ist ein großer Vorteil im Social Entrepreneurship. Es sind einfach andere Denkweisen. Dirk hat seine Vision verwirklicht in den er anderen hilft soziale Unternehmen aufzubauen. Das passiert in seiner Impact Factory. Sie bringen dort Berater zusammen, die die Bedürfnisse der Social Startups verstehen. Genau das ist extrem wichtig. Es müssen Menschen sein, die wissen, wie ein Social Startup funktionieren kann. Das bedeutet aber auch: Diese Berater sind nicht die “normalen” die man sonst in anderen großen Unternehmen antrifft. Es sind auch nicht Mitarbeiter von Großunternehmen, da diese eine ganz andere Sicht auf die Dinge haben. Es sind Menschen die anders denken, die mit möglichst kleinem Einsatz ganz großes bewegen können. Deshalb ist es für Gründer ganz wichtig: Nutze die Ressourcen von der Impact Factory, den Social Impact Labs und Impact Hubs. Arbeite mit ihnen gemeinsam an deinem Startup – an deiner Vision. Denn gemeinsam kann man viel bewegen. Was steckt hinter Anthropia? Anthropia bringt Menschen zusammen für die eine andere Welt möglich ist. Das Unternehmen kreiert Wirkräume für Quer- und Andersdenkende, die die gesellschaftlichen Probleme von heute anpacken und lösen wollen. Gemeinsam mit Partnerorganisationen haben sie die Impact Factory geschaffen, die Innovationsschmiede für Social Entrepreneurs. Dort kannst du dich jetzt auch wieder bewerben! Also, rauf auf die Seite und verwirkliche deine Vision. Interessante Links Während es Podcast gibt es vielerlei spannende Themen.

Resources: InterCambio Group Digi.City YouCanBook.me (scheduling app) Full Contact (contact management) Give and Take by Adam Grant TECH POLICY NEWS US officials are investigating a potential Russian effort to disrupt this year's US presidential elections, according to Dana Priest at the Washington Post. The investigation was precipitated by alleged Russian hacks into the Democratic National Committee and Wikileaks release of 20,000 hacked DNC emails. Russia has denied the accusations, although, as Bloomberg notes, Russian President Vladimir Putin did say the DNC hacks were a public service. Julian Hattem at The Hill noted last week that Department of Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson attempted to downplay the Russian threat. Johnson said the vastness of all of the nation's dispersed local and state voting systems would make it difficult for any hack to alter the ballot count. But officials are still worried that even a hint of the ballots being compromised could cause unrest.----The FCC has proposed rules that would open up the set top box market to competition. Currently, subscribers are paying an average of $231 per year to lease set top boxes from cable providers. And these set top boxes aren't required to list content from over-the-top competitors like Netflix. The new rules would clear the way for cable subscribers to buy a set top box of their choice, they would also require cable providers to develop free apps that enable consumers to download all their programming to their chosen devices. The cable industry is obviously incensed. The Commissioners will vote on the new rules at the next Open Meeting on September 29th at the FCC. If you want to file comments, it's proceeding 16-42. In the meantime, you can check out my interview with Brian Woolfolk on episode 36 to get caught up on the basics of this proceeding.----According to a new FBI report, Hillary Clinton and her staff were lackadaisical about keeping confidential communications secure while Clinton served as Secretary of State, even though Clinton herself had authorization to decide which communications were confidential and which weren't. But former Secretary of State Colin Powell also indicated last week that his communications weren't kept all that secure either, stating that he had used a separate internet connection over a private phone line to communicate about State Department business off the State Department's servers. Sean Gallagher at Ars Technica and Quartz have the coverage here.----President Obama has announced the appointments of the nation's first Chief and Deputy Chief Information Officers.  Retired Brigadier General Gregory J. Touhill, who currently serves as a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security, will take the helm as CISO and Grant Schneider, current Director of Cybersecurity on the National Security Council staff at the White House will serve as Deputy.---- Finally, another Obama administration staffer is leaving the White House to join the tech sector. Rachel Racusen, who last week ended her stint as White House strategic communications adviser, will join Snapchat's New York team next week to serve as Director of Communications at the growing social media company.  Juliet Eilperin at the Washington Post notes that Racusen joins a long line of former White House officials to join the tech sector, including former press secretary Jay Carney who went to Amazon and Dan Pfeiffer at GoFundMe.
