Are you interested in urban nature futures? Summary of the article titled Nature futures for the urban century: Integrating multiple values into urban management from 2022 by Andressa V. Mansur, Robert I. McDonald, Burak Güneralp, HyeJin Kim, Jose A. Puppim de Oliveira, Corey T. Callaghan, Perrine Hamel, Jan J. Kuiper, Manuel Wolff, Veronika Liebelt, Inês S. Martins, Thomas Elmqvist, and Henrique M. Pereira, published in the Environmental Science and Policy journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Junaid Islam in episode 286 talking about the importance of non-tech zones in the city even though being a technology advocate. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can integrate nature into our urban futures. This article presents the Urban Nature Futures Framework (UNFF) to help cities envision sustainable futures by integrating different perspectives on the role of nature in urban development, addressing ecological, social, and cultural values. Find the article through this link. Abstract: There is an emerging consensus that the health of the planet depends on the coexistence between rapidly growing cities and the natural world. One strategy for guiding cities towards sustainability is to facilitate a planning process based on positive visions for urban systems among actors and stakeholders. This paper presents the Urban Nature Futures Framework (UNFF), a framework for scenario building for cities that is based on three Nature Futures perspectives: Nature for Nature, Nature for Society, and Nature as Culture. Our framework engages stakeholders with envisioning the three Nature Futures perspectives through four components using participatory methods and quantitative models: identification of the socio-ecological feedbacks in cities, assessment of indirect impacts of cities on biodiversity, development of multi-scale indicators, and development of scenarios. Stakeholders in cities may use this framework to explore different options for integrating nature in its various manifestations within urban areas and to assess how different community preferences result in various cityscapes and distribution of associated benefits from nature among urban dwellers across multiple scales.

Welcome, dear listeners, Today, we finalise one of the forces in the #5forces framework by #Porter. We talk about the relative effectiveness of the barriers that we mentioned in the previous episodes. We often forget to think that laws change, customer preferences change, and even very distinct firms approximate each other in their business models and product designs. Consequently, what we saw as a barrier yesterday, may not exist today. Moreover, the more protected a market is, the more profitable, and, in turn, the more interesting it is for your competitors.

Welcome, dear listeners, In this episode, I talk about #retaliation #strategy or retaliation actions. This is on of the anticipated drivers for the Threat of Entry - one of the forces in the e#5forces framework by #Porter. The main idea is that the fact that incumbent market players may retaliate if you (try to) join their market may hinder you form entering the market. Yet, this driver if related to the intensity of competition - the higher the competition, the harder it is to retaliate for dispersed incumbents. If the market is being dominated by a few firms with plenty of resources, such actions are nothing but #signalling. And not only to you, but also for other potential entrants and, thus, a desired strategy. Good luck and subscribe, share, and comment - it does matter! Best Eugene (Yevgen)

Dear listeners I see that the names for the episode become longer ;) The reason is a bit complex #structure of the course of #strategicmanagement. But we'll manage to establish a good understanding of the course. In this episode, I talk about the product #differentiation. The more different your products are from the competitors' products, the harder it is to switch for the customers. Interestingly, it works in both ways: your customers have it hard to #switch to your #competitors, but also your competitors' customers have it hard to switch to your product.

Welcome, dear listeners! Today, we are talking about the #5forces framework by #porter. One of the forces that shape the market and should influence your success is the #threatofsubstitutes. #substitutes are the #products (or #services) that are different in nature but may offer you a similar result. Think of butter vs margarine - different in nature (made of milk vs sunflower oil) but both may be used for breakfast. Moreover, the conditions of usage have an impact on the #propensitytosubsitute: while margarine for breakfast is seldom preferred, margarine for backing easily substitutes butter and only a few can taste the difference.

Welcome to the next episode in my Strategic Management series! Today, we talk about two #theories (or views) about how to achieve a #sustained #competitiveadvantage. While the Market-based View (#mbv) focuses on the market and industry analysis, the Resource-based View (#rbv) focuses on the firm's internal #resources and #comeptencies (or #capabilities). After years of academic debate, we discovered that firms need both and that there are minor contradictions and both can be applied simultaneously.

Have you ever wondered what separates the best from the rest in the world of management? What if I told you there's a secret tool that has transformed how we understand leadership, innovation, and organisational development? – The magic is simply the Critical Incident Technique or CIT – a tool that's been shaping management research since the 1960s. This technique, stemming from the innovative work of psychologist John C. Flanagan, has transcended its military origins to become a cornerstone in understanding and improving various facets of organisational life. Join us as we explore how pivotal moments can redefine organisational success and development and uncover the lessons that can turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Through the lens of CIT, every incident tells a story, and every story holds the key to unlocking extraordinary potential.References:Flanagan, J. C. (1954). The critical incident technique.

Sometimes in life things go wrong… mistakes, accidents, even disasters will occur. From festivals that fail due to poor advance planning, product launches that simply fail to, well, launch through to public construction projects that seem to drag on for ever and end up costing much more than originally envisaged. And typically when things do go wrong there are calls for inquiries, accountability and the apportionment of blame, sometimes leading to demands for heads to roll. To explore these questions further and to dig deeper into the question of blame games, we are joined on the Brain for Business podcast by Assistant Professor Sandra Resodihardjo of Radboud University. About Sandra… Sandra Resodihardjo is an Assistant Professor of Public Administration at the Institute for Management Research, Radboud University.

She shared several stories and experiences with us including key points from years of research conducted for several organizations.Louise leads the leadership module on the Masters in Project Management at the University of Cape Town and is the author of several books and publications on portfolio and project management, including Stakeholder-led Project Management: Changing the way we manage projects.Louise and PMO Joe chatted about Leadership, with Louise sharing, “And for me, the currency of leadership is relationships. So I had to build those relationships in the University so that I could run this relatively complex program and build that coalition of support that we needed in order to do this major change program. And I think I personally had to change. I have to now focus not on doing things, but on creating those connections. And I think that for me was when I started to feel, gosh, this is what it means to be a manager. Here's what it means to run projects.” We also learned quite a bit about the research Louise has conducted over the years. What important findings can we learn from research? Is there a method or process that is more successful than another? She shared, “what we also found is that you could have one person using the same method and another person using the same method. One was incredibly successful, one was incredibly unsuccessful. So what was different about the people? What really mattered? So we went and measured their high performing project managers and looked at them. And I think one of the interesting first, the most important behavioral competence came out. And I've mentioned this before was integrity.”Louise and PMO Joe continue their discussion about the various research findings and what to look for with successful project management.

During my career I have had several opportunities to sit in lecture halls and listen to Chief Dennis Compton share some of the wisdom he has gleaned over 50 years in the fire service. He taught us that one should “never sacrifice a relationship for an outcome”, that we need to “become politically competent”, and be aware of what behaviors and procedures that we “institutionalize.” In episode 68 Chief Compton and I chatted about his journey into the fire service, how things have changed and how important relationships are to a healthy organization. We talked about these important topics and so much more. Give it a listen and please enjoy.
