You had an idea for say, a product or service. You created it and rolled it out to a small target group. It worked - a success! It's now time to expand, to unleash it onto the world. How do you make sure it continues to be a success? This is the question John A. List sets out to answer in his book, The Voltage Effect. In this book club episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Gemma is joined by Owen and Ross Dickie to get to grips with List's suggestions for successful scaling. We discussed:        the avoidable errors that lead to “voltage drops”         the actions that promote “voltage gains” i.e., successful scaling         what these mean for L&D professionals. In ‘What I Learned this Week', Owen described how he set a goal and trained for the Etape Caledonia 2023. You can find out more about next year's event here: https://limelightsports.club/event/etape-caledonia-2024 Ross told a story about a cunning negotiation concerning an image on Theodore Roosevelt's campaign poster.

The following is a conversation between John A. List, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, Chief Economist at Walmart, and author of The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.   We live in a society that highly values and rewards innovation. If you go to Amazon and type in innovation, you will find over 60,000 books. But the work of scaling those innovations can almost be an afterthought. A similar search will yield only 4,000 results. My next guest thinks there is something wrong with that picture and has written a book to address it. He is John List, the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Services Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago, the Visiting Robert F. Hartsook Chair in Fundraising at Indiana University's Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, and the author of a splendid book titled The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale. Welcome to The Business of Giving, John.

I am joined by John A. List, a renowned experimental economist and bestselling author, who is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago and the Chief Economist at Walmart. We discuss his new book “The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale.” In This Episode, John A. List and I Discuss His Latest Book, The Voltage Effect. In this episode, John A. List and I discuss scaling and how the meaning behind this buzzword goes deeper than just growing your following online.

Humans respond to incentives just like any other animal, but it's important to make sure to use the right incentive to get the results that you desire because sometimes incentives can lead to unintended outcomes. Uri Gneey holds a chair in Behavioral Economics and is Professor of Economics and Strategy at the University of California, San Diego. He is also an author and his latest book, Mixed Signals: How Incentives Really Work will be released in March. Uri is also the co-author of The Why Axis: Hidden Motives and the Undiscovered Economics of Everyday Life with John A. List.Uri and Greg discuss the differing ways in which Psychologists and Economists look at incentives, and go over examples of companies like Coca Cola and Toyota using incentives that led to surprising outcomes. They discuss the difference between incentives for quantity versus quality, and how to incentivize the right things in the right way. Uri reveals the results of money incentives in paying people to go to the gym, take tests, or even paying them to quit their jobs. It all revolves around Uri's axiom that if you understand the signal behind the incentive and can control it you gain a large advantage.Episode Quotes:The advantage of understanding signals32:07: Gifts are really signals of something, right? They're extremely inefficient. Imagine how much time and money is wasted on people going around before Christmas looking for gifts and trying to find something that will match, and then other people have to return it. Just give cash─but it signals what you think about the other person, and the signals, controlling those signals─that's my argument: if you understand that incentive sends the signal, and you control it, you can get a big advantage.Knowing the right questions will help you get the right answers. 49:34: The problem is that today there is so much data that people think that it's all out there, but they don't know how to get interesting answers because there are lots of people who know how to answer questions. You have very few people who know how to ask questions.Should we incentivize quantity?18:29: Very often, people incentivize the quantity instead of the quality dimension, and economists call it multitasking. Turns out that in such situations, what you'll get is exactly what you pay for. (19:38) The quantity versus quality is a really important thing. Don't just incentivize quantity because people are just going to produce more. The quality will go down.Show Links:Recommended Resources:More Information about PISA TestsGary BeckerAwards: Tangibility, Self-Signaling and Signaling to OthersAdam SmithFriedrich HayekJohn List unSILOed episodeGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at UCSD Rady School of ManagementFaculty Profile at UCSD Policy Design and Evaluation LabProfessional Profile on  Gneezy.comProfessional Profile on The Decision Lab Uri Gneezy on TwitterUri Gneezy on LinkedInHis Work:Uri Gneezy on Google ScholarMixed Signals: How Incentives Really WorkThe Why Axis: Hidden Motives and the Undiscovered Economics of Everyday Life

Welcome back to The More We Know! The more we know, the more we grow!Your Mentor Today is legendary economist, Professor John List.  You are in for one of the best master classes on economics ever! John A. List is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. His research includes over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles and several published textbooks. Previous to The Voltage Effect, he co-authored the international best seller, The Why Axis, in 2013. He is currently the Chief Economist of one of the largest companies in the world, Walmart. His research focuses on combining field experiments with economic theory to deepen our understanding of the economic science. In the early 1990s, List pioneered field experiments as a methodology for testing behavioral theories and learning about behavioral principles that are shared across different domains. To obtain data for his field experiments, List has made use of several different markets, including charitable fundraising activities, the sports trading card industry, the ride-share industry, and the education sector, to highlight a few. This has lead to collaborative work with several different schools and charities, as well as firms including: Lyft, Uber, United Airlines, Virgin Airlines, Humana, Sears, Kmart, Facebook, Google, General Motors, Tinder, Citadel, Walmart, and several non-profits.John was elected a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2015. List received the 2010 Kenneth Galbraith Award, the 2008 Arrow Prize for Senior Economists for his research in behavioral economics in the field, and was the 2012 Yrjo Jahnsson Lecture Prize recipient. He is a current Editor of the Journal of Political Economy. In November 2014 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Tilburg University. Tilburg University calls him "a true pioneer in experimental field research," whose innovative work has "finally made it possible to test behavioral economic theory in everyday practice...He has raised this research area to a higher level with his originality, expertise, and impact, and he is an inspiration to many." Listen To The More We Know ⇨ https://www.buzzsprout.com/1134704​Subscribe ⇨https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxvfd5ddf72Btbck8SdeyBwFollow my Instagram ⇨ https://www.instagram.com/sameer.sawaqed/?hl=enFollow my Twitter ⇨ https://twitter.com/commitwithmeer

On this episode of Bama Means Business, John A. List sits down on the podcast as he returns to Tuscaloosa, catching up with Culverhouse Faculty, and talking about his new book. Throughout the episode, John shares his experience serving both in the White House and in companies as an economist for Uber, Lyft, and Walmart.

In this Original Thinking podcast we will be joined by John List, Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago, who will be discussing his book 'The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale'. The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale The premise behind the Voltage Effect is deceptively simple: No great idea is guaranteed to succeed. Be it a life-saving medical breakthrough, a new policy initiative, a cutting-edge innovation, or a bold plan for building a better world, translating an idea into widespread impact depends on one thing only: whether it can be replicated at scale. Many college students will graduate into the world with a bold idea they hope to scale – whether by starting a company, through social advocacy or non-profit work, in the private sector, or elsewhere. The book draws on John's years of behavioural science research, as well as examples from the realms of business, education, policymaking, and public health to present a data-driven approach to the science of scaling. In it he outlines the five hurdles that must be overcome for an idea to succeed at scale, as well as four research-based strategies to achieve maximum-impact scaling. Topics include: Best experimental design practices to validate an idea (and reduce the risk of false positives)Navigating the supply-side economics of scalingUsing marginal thinking to assess the viability of an enterprise at scalePreventing the negative externalities that may emerge when an idea is implemented on a large scaleUsing behavioral-economic incentives to spur widespread adoption of an idea or increase compliance with a policy or programHow we can apply the principles of scaling to drive change in our schools, communities, companies, and society at large To order the book or download a preview, visit The Voltage Effect.

Prof. List will speak at noon on Friday the 16th as a part of TU's Friends of Finance Executive Speaker Series.

Today I talked to John List about his book The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale (Currency, 2022). Want to go on an exuberant, incisive ride through why so many initiatives flounder and how, conversely, you can increase the odds of success? Then listening to John List will be for you. List takes us through his favorite, highly relevant behavior economic principles: loss aversion, confirmation bias and framing among them. Then this episode digs into why 50 to 90% of initiatives fail to scale. List emphasizes the role that false positives and unscalable ingredients play. As to the secrets of building out an idea, knowing when to quit stands out for reasons worth listening in for. Finally, the importance of scaling a company's culture explains why the gladiatorial culture at Uber wasn't sustainable at scale. John List is a professor of economics at both the University of Chicago and the Australian National University. After being the chief economist at Uber and Lyft, he now holds that role at Walmart. He's also previously been on the Council of Economic Advisers for The White House. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com). His newest book is Emotionomics 2.0: The Emotional Dynamics Underlying Key Business Goals. To check out his related “Dan Hill's EQ Spotlight” blog, visit https://emotionswizard.com.

Saya membahas buku The Voltage Effect karya John A. List. Buku ini membahas bagaimana ide bagus jadi ide hebat dan ide hebat bisa dijalankan dalam skala yang besar. Ketika punya sebuah ide, kita mungkin mencobanya dengan mengetes pada skala kecil. Ketika hasilnya memuaskan, hal ini mendorong kita untuk melakukannya dalam skala yang lebih besar. Namun sayang, hasilnya malah gagal total. Lho, kok bisa? Karena tidak semua ide bisa direplika dengan skala yang lebih besar. Banyak alasan, misalnya saja, hasilnya terlalu bergantung pada talenta yang hebat, sampel responden yang berbeda dengan gambaran nyata, hingga harganya menjadi semakin mahal ketika dibuat dalam skala yang besar.

In today's episode, we speak with John A. List, Chief Economist at WalMart and author of  “The Voltage Effect.”  In this episode we talk about how to make good ideas great, and great ideas scale. John digs in to the common set of attributes that scalable ideas share and provides examples on scaling incentives and culture. This episode was from a conversation previously recorded with many Peterson-backed CEOs and entrepreneurs. The portfolio companies identified and described herein do not represent all of the portfolio companies purchased, sold or recommended for funds advised by Peterson Partners.

Welcome to an episode with a highly regarded economist and best-selling author, John A. List. Get John's book here: https://amzn.to/3BDlHzj In this episode, John defined scaling – an overused yet often confused word in the startup world today – and elaborated the term. He also spoke about the voltage effect and how it relates to scaling. The discussion revolved around the five vital signs that every scalable idea must possess to avoid voltage drops and gave numerous realistic examples to help us visualize each sign. John also shared the top things that we must keep in mind when making decisions related to scaling. Professor John A. List is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on combining field experiments with economic theory to deepen our understanding of the economic science. In the early 1990s, List pioneered field experiments as a methodology for testing behavioral theories and learning about behavioral principles that are shared across different domains. He co-authored the international best seller, The Why Axis, in 2013. List was elected a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2015. List received the 2010 Kenneth Galbraith Award, the 2008 Arrow Prize for Senior Economists for his research in behavioral economics in the field, and was the 2012 Yrjo Jahnsson Lecture Prize recipient.

American economist and author John A. List joins us to discuss his new book, ‘The Voltage Effect: How to make good ideas great and great ideas scale'. John is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. His research includes over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles and several published textbooks. He has also worked both in government and the private sector as chief economist for Uber, Lyft, and now Walmart. His book argues that scaling is subject to the so-called ‘Anna Karenina principle'–meaning that even if one factor is wrong, the entire endeavor will fail. In this conversation with Yuval Atsmon, a senior partner in our London office, John explores ways in which business leaders can assess whether an idea has the power–or ‘the voltage' to use his phrase–to successfully scale.

John List is the recently appointed Chief Economist at Walmart, and is also a Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, having worked as the Chief Economist at Uber and Lyft. He has published a huge array of important papers in the field of economics and is also the author of the recent book The Voltage Effect, which deals with the question of how to scale ideas successfully. We are very excited to bring you this episode, which is a particularly illuminating one, in which we draw on John's treasure trove of insight and experience, to answer a long list of questions related to personal finance decision-making. A large portion of our chat focuses on the central ideas of critical thinking and fieldwork, practices that our guest views as indispensable in making the world a better place. Along the way we get John's thoughts on retirement planning, public policy, charitable donations, and much more, so make sure to press play on this fantastic episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast.   Key Points From This Episode:   John explains the importance of fieldwork in the study of economics.

Lots of us have good ideas, some even back their ideas up with successful research. So why do these good ideas fail to scale into great, big ideas? John A. List shares the personal example of his highly successful kindergarten reform in South Side Chicago which then didn't scale across the nation. His intrigue into this case led him to pen a phenomenal new book about scalability, “The Voltage Effect”.   John A. List, is a Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago as well as recently becoming the first ever Chief Economist at Walmart. Our conversation with John touches on the ambition he has to change the world for the better in this new role at Walmart. But the primary drive for our chat was to discuss his great new book “The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale”. Listen in to learn about the concept of scalability and why it is so hard to go from, “the petri dish' (as he puts it) to successful broad scale programs.    As is often the case, we round off our episode with a desert island music selection from our guest. And John's very thoughtful consideration of the question yields a top notch selection of musical artists.

This week's episode is the first in a three-part series that celebrates the 70th anniversary of Resources for the Future (RFF). Over that time span, RFF has had a significant impact on the fields of environmental economics and policy. In this episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Ray Kopp, RFF's recently retired vice president for research and policy engagement, and Kerry Smith, an RFF university fellow (who also happened to be Ray Kopp's graduate school advisor). Kopp continues to lead the organization's Comprehensive Climate Strategies Program. Kopp, Smith, and Hayes discuss the 70-year history and legacy of RFF, the real-world impacts of its research, and how the act of conducting research itself has changed through the decades. They take a trip down RFF memory lane to explore how the world of environmental economics has evolved over the past 70 years—and how RFF has helped shape that evolution.

Most economists would argue that policies and business strategies are most likely to succeed if they are evidence-based, with their efficacy demonstrated empirically by randomized controlled trials before they are implemented at scale. John List spearheaded the introduction of field experiments in economics, publishing a raft of influential studies with this approach, and using his research insights to help shape both government policy and business strategy. He has learned a thing or two along the way. In The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale (Currency, 2022), he draws upon his own experiences and his research to show all the ways in which an idea that “works” in a field experiment can fall flat when rolled out at a larger scale. This book provides tremendous insight into both the value of field experiments and the careful attention to detail needed to ensure that they teach us the right lessons. John List is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago. He has also served as Chief Economist at tech economy pioneers Uber and Lyft, and recently agreed to take on the same role at an established linchpin of the middle-American retail, Walmart. Host Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads a new Master's program in Applied Economics focused on the digital economy.

John A. List is a Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago and Chief Economist at Walmart. List is co-author of The Why Axis, a fellow of The Econometric Society, and an editor of the Journal of Political Economy. His new book, The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale, focuses on the necessity of scaling ideas and the things that help and get in the way of doing this. List argues the only ideas worth pursuing are the ones with the potential to make a significant impact on human lives — and translating an idea into widespread impact requires scalability: the capacity to grow and expand in a robust and sustainable way.

We want to up the electricity, and keep the voltage of our activity on a high note. What does it mean to have momentum in scaling, and then losing it after a period of time? What does it take to get to that high level of voltage in the first place? On episode 332, I […] The post 332: John A. List | Getting Ideas To Improve And Scale In “The Voltage Effect” appeared first on The Armen Show.

In this episode Andy Silvester talks to Lyft Chief Economist and University of Chicago professor John A. List for a chat about his latest book, The Voltage Effect. They discuss idea scaling; why this measure can decide whether or not an idea ends up performing well; the value of data; and John's background working for companies such as Uber and now Lyft. Andy also goes through the headlines -- new figures from the ONS have been released demonstrating that inflation is rising at an unequal pace to wages; former Post Office sub-postmasters and mistresses have been calling for former bosses to face prison time in the wake of the Horizon scandal; and mining company Glencore reported an 84 per cent increase in earnings in 2021. And finally, Andy talks to City A.M.'s Economics and Markets reporter Jack Barnett about the ONS inflation figures and US investment bank predictions about the UK's economic performance.
