It was quite a neat experience actually, after we did the interview, Christopher treated me to a lunch in one of the Cambrdige college halls where in proper Friday British fashion, a perfect Fish and Chips was served. Christopher has authored three books, but the subject of this interview was his latest… Profiteers, How Business Privatizes Profit and Socializes Cost.Some of you may have noticed a recurring question around ‘negative externalities' in several of my interviews this year… particularly with Johan Norberg most recently. Well, Adam Lantz, who listens to this podcast reached out to me in response to the JOhan interview and said. If you really wanty to talk externalities, than you've got to talk to this guy.Johan Norberg Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ujVUlq3BbhTDBhBFnaR5S?si=46b8333b866341da Johan Norberg Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/johan-norberg-does-capitalism-fail-to-price-in-negative/id1540424160?i=1000671395087 And so I wrote to Christopher immediately, read his book, booked the flight and was greeted with so much generosity and hospitality it was a bit of a pinch myself moment, because even though this podcast creates 0 dollars in revenue, it's instead introducing me to a wealth of experience.This episode with Christopher is negative externalities all the way down… with specific attention to plastics, agriculture and clothing.00:00 - Christopher Marquis02:27 - The Externality Iceberg07:57 - The Plastic Iceberg14:47 - Can A Free Market Price These Negative Externalities?26:04 - Agriculture Iceberg41:07 - We Consume Via Our Means Not Our Morals42:41 - Clothing Iceberg52:33 - Egregious Cases Of Greenwashing54:39 - Zoom & Netflix?

„Mit AI kann man wunderbar Daten analysieren und sogar die Visagen der CEO´s bei Hauptversammlungen auswerten. Verlassen würde ich mich aber nicht darauf, dass das verzerrte Gesicht nicht auf Zahnschmerzen beruht", scherzt Raghavendra Rau, Inhaber der Sir Evelyn de Rothschild-Professur für Finanzen an der Judge Business School der University of Cambridge, Gründungsdirektor des Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance. Er vergleicht Künstliche Intelligenz mit seinen Masterstutentinnen: „Die geben immer eine Antwort, auch wenn sie die in Wirklichkeit nicht kennen. Das ist natürlich gefährlich, wenn man entsprechend der AI-Antwort beispielsweise in Einzelaktien veranlagt." Raghavendra Rau investiert ohnehin nicht in Einzelaktien, das ist ihm zu riskant, sondern in Indexfonds. Technologie-Aktien seien interessant, doch bei den aktuellen Preisen müsse man nicht gleich zuschlagen. Wie man sich jetzt am Besten positioniert, warum die geopolitische Entwicklung und Handelskonflikte 2025 bestimmender sind als der Einsatz von AI erklart der Cambridge-Professor in der aktuellen Podcastfolge der GELDMEISTERIN.

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Professor Jaideep Prabhu about frugal innovation and circular business models. KEY TAKEAWAYS The process of production & consumption since the industrial revolution has been a linear one; companies took resources from nature, make products & services from them which they sold to consumers to use, & when we were done with them we simply dumped them back into nature. This system, while it was phenomenally successful for the companies themselves, created a lot of negative externalities for the environment & society. It's both wasteful & unsustainable. It's important now, as companies & the economy grows we simply cannot replicate growth on that model, we have to move to a circular model where we reduce, reuse and recycle all the resources that go into the products & services we produce & consume. Making the best use of limited resources & not running the risk of running out of precious natural resources, energy & time. Frugal innovation is all about how one does more & better with less. Startups using a circular model still have to produce a quality product that can go head-to-head with the equivalent linear model business. It may have to be a premium product because it's not a trivial thing to do & they are absorbing some of the negative externalities & costs that the linear model competitors are not. By definition your customer cannot be the average mass-market customer who goes for fast fashion products. It may limit your market, but many businesses can succeed with a niche strategy. BEST MOMENTS ‘There is a very intimate link between sustainability, circularity and, indeed, frugal innovation & it's really important for businesses to move toward circular business models.' ‘Fashion & clothing is a big source of waste, we buy far in excess of what we need & a lot of it ends up back in landfill. People need to reduce how much they purchase, reuse & repair as much as possible.' ‘You need to know your target market very well.' ‘Design sustainable solutions. It will help you be more efficient & productive, even financially.' ABOUT THE GUEST Prof. Jaideep Prabhu is the Jawaharlal Nehru professor of business and enterprise at the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge, the director of the Centre for India & Global Business (CIGB). He is the co-author of Jugaad Innovation: Think Frugal, Be Flexible, Generate Breakthrough Growth, described by The Economist as "the most comprehensive book" on the subject of frugal innovation. Frugal Innovation: How to do better with less ABOUT THE HOST Tze Ching started her entrepreneurial journey back in 2007 with the launch of a sustainable clothing & home furnishing ecommerce business. Next, she created a sustainable fashion brand. In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools & colleges. Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring & digital marketing company. Tze Ching's mission is to create a community of global change makers and to contribute to positive change in both people & planet. CONTACT DETAILS Website Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn

Exploraremos cómo Guillén desafía las normas obsoletas de nuestra sociedad, el trabajo y la economía, impulsando un cambio hacia una estructura más flexible que se adapte a la evolución tecnológica y al aumento de la esperanza de vida. Discutiremos la necesidad de una mentalidad de aprendizaje continuo, desmintiendo la idea de que la jubilación es el único premio de la vida, y cómo este enfoque puede nutrir tanto a los individuos como a la sociedad en su conjunto, mitigando los problemas asociados con el envejecimiento y el aislamiento.

In this episode, we talk with Madeleine Rauch about diary methods, especially unsolicited diaries for research in organization and management. Madeleine tells us about her experience with such an approach, how diaries can be combined with other sources of data, and the questions that they help us answer. Our conversation also features practical insights about how to keep one's data secure, as well as reflections on the tendency in social sciences to rely on verbal data sources and how focusing on diaries can elicit new ways of approaching existing topics and open up new ones.Madeleine Rauch is an Associate Professor of Strategy and International Business at the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School. Her research focuses on the strategies and challenges faced by people working and living in challenging contexts, such as undocumented individuals in the U.S., medical professionals during the recent COVID pandemic, and soldiers in war zones like Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and South Sudan.Further information:Rauch, M, & Ansari, S.

When it came to digital money useable on blockchain networks, the choice between central bank money and commercial bank money used to feel binary: Stablecoins and tokenised deposits and e-money were stopgaps pending the introduction of CBDCs. But as the threat of Stablecoins that were either global or issued by unregulated non-banks has receded, a more traditional hierarchy of money has asserted itself. CBDCs are likely to become the central bank digital money foundation on which myriad forms of digital commercial bank money will blossom.Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) originated in need (to put fiat currency on blockchain networks) but also fear. Central banks were fearful that private forms of money based on blockchain technology would rob them of control of national and international monetary conditions. These fears were crystallised by the prospect of Facebook issuing a multi-currency Stablecoin called Libra.Having crushed Libra – whose remnants were sold to digital asset bank Silvergate in January 2022 – developed market central banks around the world are now bringing Stablecoins within the regulatory perimeter by privileging banks as issuers and prescribing what assets they can use to back a Stablecoin. This has released much of the pressure on the major central banks to issue CBDCs.There are currently just four CBDCs actually in issue – the Bahamas Sand Dollar, the Eastern Caribbean Dcash, the Nigerian eNaira and the Jamaican JAM-DEX – and all are developing slowly, with limited take-up. Significantly, all four were issued in developing economies, where the benefits of CBDCs in promoting financial inclusion and fighting financial crime are easiest to capture.Of another 93 countries exploring a CBDC – as monitored by the Atlantic Council CBDC Tracker – the most advanced (Brazil and Kazakhstan) fit the pattern. In all, just 17 are at the pilot testing stage. Of them, the Swedish eKrona project is the only one being pursued by a Western economy. 72 central banks are still developing or researching their plans, and the rest have stopped doing even that. True, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) website records ten CBDC experiments in progress, with various combinations of banks and central banks taking part, and it is not hard to find others where the BIS is not involved. So the leading central banks have not lost interest in CBDCs, but they do now seem relaxed enough to let the private sector lead the digitisation of money.This reflects a consensus that a CBDC in a developed market must not disintermediate the commercial banks through which central banks influence monetary conditions. Nor are most central banks credible providers of customer-facing services such as digital wallets, foreign exchange and checking customers are not money launderers, terrorists or sanctioned businesses or individuals.There is an even more profound sense in which central banks are content to cede the leadership role, and it is this: CBDCs are emerging as the foundation of a layered system of issuance and distribution in which asset-backed Stablecoins issued by regulated banks, tokenised cash on deposit at regulated banks and e-money backed by cash held at regulated banks will provide the bulk of digital monies.To carry on reading, go to : https://futureoffinance.biz/is-this-how-cbdcs-will-happen-in-the-major-global-currencies/PanellistsRicardo CorreiaSenior Technology Executive at R3 Gilbert VerdianCEO at QuantBarney ReynoldsPartner, Global Head Financial Institutions, Governance & Advisory at Shearman and SterlingKeith BearFellow at the Centre for Alternative Finance, Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge Hosted on Acast.

Great learners make great leaders! Just like a student, a leader is always asking questions, always gathering data, and using that information to execute action items that impact the bigger picture. No matter what your field or industry is, learning never stops and being a lifelong learner is the key to success.

Most recently, Collabera has rebranded their Digital Engineering Solutions business as Ascendion (pronounced as Ascend-ee-ON) for which Viral is the Global CIO and a member of the Executive Committee. He is a passionate technologist with almost 30 years of global experience, having lived and worked in India, Europe, and the US working as an IT industry professional as well as a Management Consultant with a Big 4 company with leadership.

Introduction: Cath Bishop is a three-time Olympian, World Champion and Olympic Silver medallist in rowing. In her career as Diplomat, she specialised in stabilisation policy for conflict affected areas of the world. In business Cath acts as a Business Coach & Consultant, advising on Teams and Leadership Development. She also teaches on the Executive Education Programs for Judge Business School at Cambridge University. Podcast episode Summary: The book, The Long Win is a deep and rewarding exploration of human motivation, in sport, politics, business & our personal lives. This episode explores Cath Bishops alternative approach to a zero sum approach to winning. Her approach is housed in an alliterative 3 C's, developing Clarity, Constant learning and Connection. Cath's passion for a different approach to success and in solving our worlds complex issues is palpable across this conversation. Points made throughout the Episode: The book served as vehicle to make sense of Cath's experiences, failures and wins. Cath looked at the common themes that could get at sustainable performance She observed our collective obsession with defining winning on narrow terms Her aim for this book is to challenge our definition of success, challenge the simple metrics on which we so depend & to begin to define broader success criteria that matter. A meaningful purpose is one that offers a contribution outside of ourselves, is meaningful, it allows us have agency and connect more widely to be part of something together. Having broader aims allows us to be resilient, to be creative in the face of setbacks and to be involved not just from a head space but from a heart space too. She invariably challenges metrics to wonder what might not be housed in a metric that also matters. In her experience as an Olympian athlete especially for her first two experiences Cath noticed a very dominant theme. Toughness. It took failing on a big scale for Cath to ask some tough questions of herself. She took a year out. Cath's third experience in Athens was different. Cath appreciated the change in sport psychology. It wasn't necessarily about “fixing athletes” that led to performance gains but to an appreciation of the Culture and environment in which athletes trained. Removing fear and separating out performance from results. To an understanding that more things about an athlete, like mindset, behaviours, relations with others contributed to the performance. These learnings underpinned what became for Cath her 3 C's, Clarity, Continuous Learning and Connection. Cath is often invited into Corporate Settings to explore her wins and help others be winners. She explains that this is not the question. Instead she asks how Leaders can share why their organisation exists, the difference it makes to society and then to go about connecting and making links with every employee. Start what Success means to the team on a broader level. Cath shares a story of where a team was facing into miserable results but with her help they were able to mine the real learning they had achieved over the year. She extols a Growth Mindset made famous by Carol Dweck. Cath asks teams to look at what went well, to leverage learning and be prepared to do consistent reviews. This gets people away from having only one metric the outcome. Cath learnt the capacity of connection as a Diplomat. She notes that it is a little bit mad that it took a Pandemic for organisations to give themselves permission to ask people how they are. Importantly we should take stock about why that was the case. In her capacity as a Diplomat Cath was keen to make connections before the content of her assignment. Who am I speaking to beyond the title? Knowing a person helps you tap into the their better part. The Brexit negotiations are really forged out of an archaic system of Zero sum games. Competition and politics where someone has to lose. Complex collaboration is required to solve some of our more wicked social problems For teams Cath suggests that each team define what success means to them, to put people first and to value the team ethos in addition to the metrics. She suggests people on teams need to take responsibility for what matters and to challenge entrenched thinking. Make sure the conversations about Purpose are not outsourced as a Comms initiative but spoken to everywhere. Cath's biggest discovery in writing the book was the realisation that a lot of our more systemic issues and inability to collaborate are borne out of our education systems. She admires the work of Alfie Cohen in the US and his thinking on Co-operative learning as well as the approach adopted by the Nordic countries. We do not have a lot of cognitive diversity much of us have learnt the exact same curriculum. How can we allow for more choice? Begin by defining success on your own terms and lose the “should” Resources Bishop.C; The long win; the search for a better way to succeed Cohen.A; Punished by Rewards www.cathbishop.com @thecathbishop
