Sofía Bosch Gomez, Becky Miller, Ania Karzek and Jett Pisate Virangkabutra are designers and researchers working on environmental sustainability. This panel was recorded during the International Design in Government Conference held in Helsinki (2024). The title of the panel was: Transforming Public Services: Intercontinental perspectives to addressing sustainability. This panel is an intercontinental and transdisciplinary discussion on sustainability in the context of the development of public services. The cases presented were on sustainable services related to garbage management, farmers advice to motivate sustainable farming, women security and strategic city planning.  We explored the most significant mistakes made, how their projects operate across organizational boundaries, and strategies to support emerging sustainability challenges. Dr. Sofía Bosch Gómez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art + Design at Northeastern University's College of Arts, Media, and Design. She is also affiliated with the Burnes Center for Social Change and The GovLab. As a designer and researcher, she explores the intersection of public service innovation, design research, and education.Becky Miller works as a policy and service designer in the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Since 2022 she's been working on the Farming and Countryside Programme helping to develop new policies and services for farmers and land managers in England. She was the first service designer to work in the UK's cross-government Policy Lab (2019-2022), and previously worked on digital transformation of local government services. Before joining UK Civil Service, she worked in small businesses and service organisations including London's award winning music venue, Union Chapel. Ania Karzek has a Master of Arts in Public Sector Leadership and more years in government than she'd care to count. Ania has worked across a number of disciplines, including water, environment, government reform, social services, child protection and most recently, local government. She has also seen how ‘the other half live', having worked in the private, university and not for profit sectors in consulting and operational management roles. For several years now, Ania has been championing human-centered technology and data ethics and has pleaded with audiences to think slowly, broadly and deeply about the impacts of their technology choices. A disruptive policy wonk by trade, Ania has a passion for connecting the art of the possible with the care we need to take in making it happen. Jett Pisate Virangkabutra is the Founder of Create.ture - a social innovation consultant and adjunct lecturer at Thammasat University, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi and Mahidol University.

“That king certainly hasn't very good manners.”The Less-Singing, More Burnings VersionAudiences have been fascinated with the life of Anna Leonowens and her time spent in Thailand (then Siam) teaching English to King Mongkut's wives and children. What's the draw though? Perhaps the story of a woman on her own in a foreign country? Or a common person who is swept up into a world of royalty and has the ear of a king. Hard to say, but it's a fascinating story, even if it does feel one-sided. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our 1947 Academy Award Best Writing, Screenplay nominee series with a conversation about John Cromwell's 1946 film Anna and the King of Siam.Here's a hint at what we talk about.The first hurdle with this film is the rough brownface that all the actors playing the people of Siam wear. Yes, it's from the era – we acknowledge that. That doesn't make it any easier to take. There are also all the other trappings that go along with this element – pidgin English, playing the characters as simpler people, etc. It's frustrating. Once you can get past that, there are still the story elements dealing with colonialism and the entire idea of a white woman (savior?) coming in to teach English to the children and wives of King Mongkut along with the British way so they can all act more civilized. It's a struggle, but at the same time, teachers teach. She's just doing her job, right? Past all the struggles, there is the core of the story involving the complex relationship between Anna and King Mongkut. Irene Dunne and Rex Harrison are great in their roles, and we enjoy the back and forth that we get with them as they initially try to figure each other out and test each other, pushing boundaries, then eventually becoming trusted friends. We discuss the other players, the story and how this iteration differs from other versions, how Cromwell directed it, the look of it, and more. There's a lot to discuss with this one. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

The 1956 Hollywood version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, popularized King Mongkut of Siam, who from a Western perspective was a hitherto obscure figure. In the musical, an English teacher played by Deborah Kerr, drags the monarch of a seemingly insulated and somewhat backward country into the modern world. As is so often the case. The Hollywood version of history was far from the truth. Though Mongkut did embrace science and technology he wasn't the first Siamese ruler to do so. Some 200 years earlier, King Narai of Ayutthaya, sought out cutting-edge technology and formed alliances with powerful figures such as King Louis XIV of France. In this episode I speak with Australian historian Dr Ian Hodges about Narai, his reign, his legacy and his eventual successor the better-known King Mongkut.

"We can all gain more insights and improve the world around us." Darshan Mehta Regardless of the kind of business you are involved in, information is always essential for the decisions that you make. Research helps businesses gain better insights about their markets as well as provide answers to various business problems. Darshan Mehta has a passion for finding solutions for problems, and says that it all starts with having conversations that reveal insights.   Darshan Mehta is the Founder of iResearch.com – an insights platform to quickly and affordably extract insights from consumers worldwide, and ConnectQik.com – an app for instant connections and engaging interactions. In 2021, he plans to launch Big Mango Startup Hub in collaboration with King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi in Bangkok, Thailand. In addition to his roles at iResearch and ConnectQik, Mr. Mehta has taught at The George Washington University in Washington D.C., at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, at Thammasat University in Thailand, at Sciences Po in France and the Franklin University in Switzerland. Darshan's book, Getting to Aha! -- Why Today's Insights are Tomorrow's Facts -- explores the nature of insights: what they are, how to uncover them, and how to use them to drive innovation and audience engagement. In today's episode, Darshan talks about the benefits of research and especially focus groups, as well as how his companies are helping people become more insightful. Listen in!

My love for solutions eventually led me to management consulting, and I've been doing it for over 20 years. Research is structured curiosity and involves delving deeper into learning about what's really going on or what's driving something. Of the two ways to do research which are either surveys or focus groups, I found that there is really great value in the latter. There's insights all around us, and if you can tap into it before your competitors you get to have an advantage and a leg up to differentiate and be successful. Business is all about making strategic business decisions that minimize risk, and businesses really exist as long as your customers value what you're offering and are willing to pay for it. There's so many ways to differentiate, and that's the benefit of having these kind of conversations with your customers. If a brand builds brand equity through other means other than at the point of purchase, then that will differentiate from the pricing and even the positioning. One of the expensive things in research is focus groups because it's time consuming and expensive. The aim of iResearch.com is make it focus group research more affordable, easy and powerful by doing it online, anytime, anywhere, and in any language. ConnectQik allows you to create your own personalized QR code which people can scan it and get your customized contact instead of issuing business cards. It has three different profiles in your contacts which includes business, personal and custom, and this enables you to decide, based on who you're meeting, which profile you want to share. Once you're in connection with your contacts, if you update your contact information, it will automatically be updated on their phone as long as they're ConnectQik. It really is more about the input of the information and not necessarily giving it. Commercial break In my book, I talk about trends giving lots of examples on what businesses have done well, and not so well, and what people can learn from them. The book is about trying to get you to think a little bit differently, and to pursue having more conversations with your customers and staff. Companies that are constantly seeking insights and innovating on a regular basis, as well as meeting the needs of their customers, have their employees more energized, and engaged. If you can get your frontline people to be closer to customers, you will gain more insights, and it becomes a loop that kind of feeds itself. In my podcast, I invite guests on and try to have an aha moment with them in our conversations that we can share with the audience. Insights help people understand the underlying motivator or trigger that's really driving a need, and once they understand that, they're going to be in a better position to meet those needs. We can all gain more insights and improve the world around us .………………………………………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

For this weekend's family movie night, we watched The King and I (1956). Starring Yul Brynner as King Mongkut of Siam and Deborah Kerr as Anna Leonowens, this classic musical was another standby for me growing up. Lauren and the kids never having seen it before, they now can say they have seen it. And a whole host of interesting topics came up in the course of watching. For instance, "Who is Buddha?" Also, "Why would you give a person to another person as a gift?" Also, "How does that work that he has so many children by so many different women?" Are my kids ready to talk about those sorts of things? I figure there's only one way to find out, and that's by diving in and seeing how it goes. And so we did.

It's Thursday on Midday, and time for another of J. Wynn Rousuck's weekly reviews of regional theater. Today, she spotlights the new traveling revival of The King and I. The new show is based on the 2015 Tony Award-winning Lincoln Center Theater production, and it's now on stage at Baltimore's Hippodrome Theatre.The fifth of the many great musicals by the collaborative team of Richard Rodgers (composer) and Oscar Hammerstein II (librettist/lyricist), The King and I was adapted from Margaret Landon's novel, Anna and the King of Siam (1944), which itself drew on the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. Anna is a British schoolteacher hired to teach in Bangkok, Siam (now Thailand), as part of the King's drive to modernize his country. Anna and the King form a tense and complicated relationship: a clash of West and East as much as a love neither believes they can acknowledge.

Today we are kickin’ it old school regarding our drink! The Gin Punch (https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails/2019/2/12/individual-gin-punch) we're sipping on is our adaptation of a classic punch from the 1820s. It also happens to taste like a boozy lemon-flavored San Pellegrino! Salute! Also covered: The hilariously lame origin story of the Tom Collins, Old Hickory vs. delicious hickory sausages, Stephanie’s firing of Tux for not speaking Thai, Tux’s love of movies from the 40s, Nigerian scams, yellowface, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Stephanie’s scandal is a foundational one about the Cherokee Nation’s Trail of Tears, that massive genocidal redistribution scheme in which a native people, who had won their sovereignty case in front of the Supreme Court, lost everything they had because the executive branch refused to follow the judiciary.

In January I took a trip to Southeast Asia, and—somewhat arbitrarily—I decided to make Bangkok, Thailand my first stop. Ever since being entranced by the famed musical The King and I as a kid, I've been fascinated with the Kingdom of Siam, and have been cognizant of the push and pull of tradition and colonization that Siam and so many countries have experienced. My guest today to talk about the history of Bangkok and Siam is Charles Kimball of the History of Southeast Asia podcast. Charles and I chat about how Bangkok became the capital of Siam, the role the Chakri Dynasty played in keeping the country independent for centuries, and how history and fiction collide in The King and I. Siam before Bangkok Charles told me that the Thais were first an ethnic minority in China, eventually moving south to form their own country. But even today there are still 12 million ethnic Thais in China, a population size larger than most countries. As Charles says, you don't hear about the Thai as a people until around 1000 A.D., and the Thais were actually an ethnic minority in their own country until about 1350 A.D. And when the Thais migrated to their own country, they had cast off much of their Chinese identity, and fully embraced Buddhism. But it wasn't all smooth going. In the early days there were three capitals, and it wouldn't be until King Ram Khamhaeng became king that Siam, and Thailand, as we know it would form. 24 wars in 350 years Like many nations, Siam's early history is marked by war and battles to stave off invaders. The kingdom was unified in the middle of the 15th century, but through the 16th century, Siam was often locked in a three-way battle with Laos and Burma. It was at the end of the 16th century that Naresuan came to power, and to this day Thais consider him their greatest king because of his campaigns against Burma. And by the middle of the 18th century, Thailand and Burma were waring constantly. As George tells me in this episode, the two countries fought 24 wars in the span of 350 years. And in 1782, after finding their cities laid to waste by war, the Thais moved their capital to Bangkok. Independence of Thailand One of the most fascinating aspects of the Kingdom of Siam and Thailand was how it was able to resist colonization. While many countries in Southeast Asia, like Cambodia and Vietnam, where colonized wholly by foreign powers, for centuries Siam and Thailand has been able to remain independent (though of course, not without foreign influence). Charles chalks it up to the country's mastery of diplomacy. While many other countries fell under foreign powers, Thailand has always been able to maintain strong relationships with other countries while maintaining control of their land. As Charles says, that makes them the “most successful” country in the region. The real history behind The King and I No discussion of Thai history and royalty would be complete without a look at the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I. Now the stage play is not well-liked in Thailand, but it is based on the real King Mongkut, and Anna Leonowens. Mongkut had established himself as a reformer with his work in the Buddhist monastery, and asked Leonowens to provide a secular education to his children. Charles points out some other characters that were important to the country as it tried to modernize, heading into the 20th century. Thailand is an amazing place, with a rich history that is all the more remarkable for the way it's been able to maintain its independence. If you're interested in visiting Thailand, and want to know the story behind what you find there today, you have to listen to this week's episode.

Hosts Briana Phipps and Jacque Borowski discuss The King and I Theater Show. The King and I is a 1956 American musical film made by 20th Century Fox, directed by Walter Lang and produced by Charles Brackett and Darryl F. Zanuck. The screenplay by Ernest Lehman is based on the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical The King and I, based in turn on the novel Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon. That novel in turn was based on memoirs written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. Leonowens' stories were autobiographical, although various elements of them have been called into question. The film stars Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner. The film was a critical and commercial success, and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning five, including Best Actor for Brynner. Another film adaptation of the same musical, the animated film The King and I, was released in 1999.

Hosts Briana Phipps and Jacque Borowski discuss The King and I Theater Show. The King and I is a musical, the fifth by the team of composer Richard Rodgers and dramatist Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based on the 1944 novel Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon, which is in turn derived from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. The musical's plot relates the experiences of Anna, a British schoolteacher hired as part of the King's drive to modernize his country. The relationship between the King and Anna is marked by conflict through much of the piece, as well as by a love that neither can admit. The musical premiered on March 29, 1951, at Broadway's St. James Theatre. It ran nearly three years, then the fourth longest-running Broadway musical in history, and has had many tours and revivals. In 1950, theatrical attorney Fanny Holtzmann was looking for a part for her client, veteran leading lad
