It's not just the MAGA crowd who are concerned with government waste and inefficiency. In a convincing Wall Street Journal op-ed, best-selling tech author Larry Downes questions the need for a thousand Social Security offices around the country. Downes argues that the federal government's resistance to digital transformation has resulted in staggeringly low user satisfaction rates - just 12% for federal government services. Despite more than 85% of federal workers being based outside Washington, there have been few serious attempts to modernize these services through e-government initiatives. While the incoming Trump administration's "Doge" team has talked about reforming government, Downes remains skeptical about implementation, citing political obstacles rather than technical challenges. He notes that while Estonia and Denmark offer successful e-government models, American reform efforts face unique hurdles, including congressional resistance to closing local offices and bureaucratic procurement processes that often outlast technology cycles. Downes suggests that modernization could significantly improve service delivery while reducing costs, though it would impact federal employment. He emphasizes that this isn't about privatization but rather bringing government services into the digital age - something that could potentially serve as a safeguard against authoritarian overreach by systematizing government processes in transparent, digital systems.Larry Downes is the author of five books on the impact of technology on business, society, and the law. His first book, “Unleashing the Killer App” (Harvard Business School Press), was an international bestseller, with over 200,000 copies in print. The Wall Street Journal named it one of the five most important books ever published on business and technology. His most recent book is “Pivot to the Future” (Public Affairs), co-authored with Omar Abbosh and Paul Nunes of Accenture. It has been nominated for the 2019 Thinkers50 Strategy Award. Downes writes the “Innovations” column for The Washington Post and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. He was previously a columnist for Forbes, CNET and The Industry Standard. He has written for a variety of other publications, including The New York Times, USA Today, Inc., The Economist, Wired, MIT Sloan Management Review, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Recode, The Hill, Congressional Quarterly, Slate, The European Business Review, The Boao Review, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Downes has held faculty appointments at The University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of California—Berkeley, where he was Associate Dean of the School of Information. From 2006-2010, he was a Fellow with the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society. From 2015-2019, he was Project Director at the Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy at the McDonough School of Business. Downes testifies frequently before Congress on issues related to the regulation of technology, including those dealing with antitrust, privacy, communications policy, media law, and the role of the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission in the 21st century. He holds a B.A. from Northwestern University and a J.D. from the University of Chicago. From 1993-1994, he served as law clerk to the Hon. Richard A. Posner, Chief Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He lives in Berkeley, CA.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Volume is the most powerful tool in mixing. Intentionality in mixing decisions leads to better results. Compression can be used to enhance dynamics, not just reduce them.

Please tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP, and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome Brian Perlberg, Senior Counsel of Construction Law and Contracts at AGC as well as the Executive Director & Senior Counsel of ConsensusDocs. We begin the episode by learning about Brian, his longstanding tenure with AGC, and the process that lead him to build out what is now ConsensusDocs. Brian articulates the growing need for industry standards which are not perceived to be biased, and the lasting impact this can have for construction contracts. Before leaving, Brian gives our audience three key takeaways. 1. Better Contracts, Better Results: Use your contract to manifest a successful business relationship. When you view your contract as the foundation of your success, just as in construction, a proper foundation will lead to a good build. 2. Start Integrating Risk Management Company Wide: Risk management should be seen as an enterprise system rather than something done in isolation. Get your various stakeholders such as safety, risk management, bonding and insurance all talking in the same room. 3. Communication, Not Silos: Not every situation is a nail looking for a hammer. Good effective communication can help to streamline jobs and avoid escalation which ultimately leads to negative experiences and impacts business relationships. To learn more about how you can better prepare your firm for the opportunities ahead, listen to our full podcast episode with Brian on “In an Evolving Market, the Need for Industry Standards Remains.”

“When we're out there putting our bodies on the line, the last thing we want to be thinking is, am I going to be looked after if this goes wrong?” — Atomic athlete, Jossi WellsToday we're talking with Atomic skiers Jossi Wells, Tonje Kvivik, and Noah Wallace about a topic that almost never gets discussed publicly, yet it's an issue that most sponsored outdoor athletes have to deal with: as a professional athlete, it's your job to go out there and push yourself and try to push the limits of your sport, while also having to take responsibility for the consequence when things go wrong.It's been a longstanding issue in the freeski world, across snowboarding, biking, climbing, and other sports, and while we all love watching athletes put themselves on the line, when injuries happen in that pursuit of pushing what's possible, most of us then can only offer these athletes our best wishes on social media and our hopes that they heal up soon.But today, I'm happy to announce a new development that we think will set a new standard in the outdoor industry. Atomic has committed to covering their international freeski athletes with BLISTER+ outdoor injury insurance, and Atomic is the first outdoor brand to provide this level of coverage to their sponsored athletes.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Noah Wallace's Story (3:21)Tonje Kvivik's Story (7:33)Jossi Wells' Story (8:32)Atomic's Decision to Cover Their Athletes (10:06)Tonje's Experience with Insurance (12:01)Jossi on Trying to Get Coverage (14:27)Getting Hurt When You Least Expect It (19:50)Jonathan's Injuries (32:50)GofundMe Culture (43:43)How Do We Create a Culture Shift?
