Our goal is an effective and democratic society united by healthy communication. The organization was founded in 2013 to bring together media professionals from Ukraine and around the world in Lviv for the annual LMF conference. Over the years, we have grown into an ecosystem of people, organizations, and projects that support the media, develop comprehensive solutions for them, and promote the best media practices in Ukraine and globally.

Aubrey converses with Prof Daniel Meyer, School of Public Management, Governance and Public Policy at UJ, about treasury’s surprise U-turn decision to scrap the proposed VAT increase that had sparked concern across the country. What was meant to be a one percentage point rise over two years is now off the table, with the VAT rate staying at 15%. But with that decision comes a R75 billion revenue hole and plenty of political spin. What does this reversal really mean for South Africa’s fiscal health? Who's footing the bill? And what alternatives lie ahead?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The DA's future in the government of national unity - GNU - appears to be hanging in the balance after it voted against finance minister Enoch Godongwana's budget on Wednesday. While analysts agree that the DA and ANC have been on the brink many times before, they say this time is the worst and most perilous for stability. Pressure also appears to be mounting from the ANC NEC for President Cyril Ramaphosa to deal with the DA especially after the party took the 0.5 percentage point VAT hike and the process of passing the fiscal framework document to court for review. The DA's federal executive has reportedly held meetings to decide on it's future in the GNU but the outcomes of the deliberations are yet to be made public. DA leader John Steenhuisen however told the SABC yesterday that his party remains committed to the GNU. On the other hand the ANC is expected to convene a special NEC meeting TOMORROW (Monday) to discuss it's next course of action following these recent developments For more Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Professor Daniel Meyer from the School of Public Management, Governance and Public Policy at UJ and Professor William Gumede from the School of Governance at Wits University

Today I am so pleased to introduce Toby Lowe who is a Visiting Professor of Public Management. We talk about what is wrong with New Public Management, and how it can lead to people manipulating the metrics. Toby talks about the pressures he faced while he was CEO of a charity to lie. We talk about how to govern and fund public services, and that there is choice in this, meaning that the old ways of doing things can be changed. Creating outcomes is complex. If people can respond to this complexity with trust and leaning this is the beginning of a new paradigm. The latest insights are also here:https://www.humanlearning.systems/uploads/WhatisHumanLearningSystemsRadicalPragmatism.pdf

In episode 181 with Robert Barnett, Rob and I were discussing the real constraints and difficult conditions teachers find themselves in as they try to prioritise the meaningful learning and growth of their young people. This week, we are taking a broader look at the kinds of institutional structures that might actually help rather than hinder these more generative ways of living and learning - the kinds of institutions suited to the transformative adaptations and systems change that we desperately need. So in this episode I'm really happy to be speaking with Thea Snow and Toby Lowe about taking a Human Learning Systems approach to management and governance of organisations. Thea and Toby in their work at Centre for Public Impact focus primarily on public sector management. However, these principles certainly apply more broadly to institutions in the private and third sectors. This is very exciting work as it feels much more authentically connected to the beautiful and complex realities that we know we live, learn and work in and that we want to prepare our young people to embrace. But we also know that the way we are held accountable for outcomes in our work often feels simplistic and naive and entirely dissociated from these complex realities. Thea is the Regional Director for Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand at Centre for Public Impact. Thea's experiences span the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. She has worked as a commercial lawyer, a public servant, and, prior to joining CPI, at the UK's innovation foundation, NestaToby Lowe is Professor of Public Management at Manchester Metropolitan University and action researcher at Centre for Public Impact. He has also done policy work addressing poverty in neighbourhoods for the Social Exclusion Unit, worked as a public management action researcher developing the Human Learning Systems approach and held the position as Chief Executive of a participatory arts charity in North East England.You can find links in the show notes to a lot of the documents and sources we talk about in the conversation, especially if you'd like to find out more about implementing a Human Learning Systems approach in your organisation. Some of Thea's work includes:“The (il)logic of legibility – Why governments should stop simplifying complex systems”https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2021/02/12/the-illogic-of-legibility-why-governments-should-stop-simplifying-complex-systems/“Once upon a bureaucrat: exploring the role of stories in government“https://thepolicymaker.jmi.org.au/once-upon-a-bureaucrat-exploring-the-role-of-stories-in-government/“Why evidence should be the servant, not the master, of good policy”https://apolitical.co/solution-articles/en/Why-evidence-should-be-the-servant-not-the-master-of-good-policy“Public servants are tired of change-washing — not change”https://apolitical.co/solution-articles/en/public-servants-are-tired-of-change-washing-not-changeSome of Toby's work includes:Human Learning Systems: Public Service for the Real World: https://centreforpublicimpact.org/resource-hub/human-learning-systems-public-service-for-the-real-world/Harnessing Complexity for Better Outcomes in Public and Non-profit Services: https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/harnessing-complexity-for-better-outcomes-in-public-and-non-profit-servicesHuman Learning Systems: A practical guide for the curious: https://www.centreforpublicimpact.org/assets/pdfs/hls-practical-guide.pdfVarious links from our discussion:https://www.humanlearning.systems/hls-insights-findings-from-our-research-2024/https://centreforpublicimpact.org/resource-hub/storytelling-for-systems-change/https://medium.com/centre-for-public-impact/embracing-ensembles-8e049c40b87fhttps://www.woodleigh.vic.edu.au/events-public-calendar/reimagined-conference

It's been a whirlwind of executive action, with orders coming fast and furious and some already rescinded or blocked by the courts, since President Trump took office just 10 days ago. Like many presidents before him, he is pushing the boundaries of executive authority, testing limits, ignoring precedent and trying to shift the balance of power from the legislative branch to the executive. For more on what the president has done so far and where things might go from here, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with William Resh, professor of Public Management and Performance at the Price School of Public Policy at USC.

Guest: Michael Wernick, former clerk of the Privy Council and now Jarislowsky Chair in Public Management at University of Ottawa.

Three small towns in Connecticut are seeking to share an administrator -- the first time that something like this has ever been attempted according to the organization conducting the recruitment. Joining me on the podcast to discuss this innovative approach is Alex Torpey from the Edward J. Collins Center for Public Management at the University of Massachusetts Boston. This shared administrator will be tasked with helping the cities of Canterbury, Chaplin, and Pomfret while technically being employed by the Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (NECCOG). Canterbury (pop. 5,000) - Budget of $15,000,000 Chaplin (pop. 2,200) - Budget of $9,500,000 Pomfret (pop. 4,300) - Budget of $14,000,000 As the demand for public services exceeds revenues and the complexity of local government increases, is it inevitable that consolidation will become more common as jurisdictions seek to walk the financial tightrope? We explore this fascinating recruitment in this episode.

Jeffery Thompson is the director of the Romney Institute of Public Management at the BYU Marriott School of Management. He was raised in Boise, Idaho, and graduated from BYU with a BA in Japanese and a Masters degree in business. Jeff then earned a PhD in organizational behavior, with an emphasis in ethics, at the University of Minnesota, and then taught for four years in the business school at Miami University of Ohio prior to returning to BYU. Jeff's research focuses on organizational ethics and meaningful work. And in 2009, Jeff and his coauthor, Stuart Bunderson, published a paper that went viral in the academic world, and has been cited nearly 2,000 times. Much of our conversation today revolves around findings from that work. In this episode we discuss the following: Jeff found that the zookeepers he studied, consistent with others who have found their calling, have three things in common: First, they do work that has an other-orientation, a sense of service. Second, they embrace, and leverage, their own unique gifts. And third, they describe a sense of destiny, as if it were fate that had led them to their position. And even though Jeff eventually found his own calling, he realized that there was more to his calling than he initially thought, as he accepted new positions and embraced new opportunities.    Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/

Over the summer, Don't Touch My Podcast says, "Don't Touch my Politics" as we sit down with political candidates running for the Worcester City Council and School Committee seats.  About Khrystian: Why I'm Running for Mayor  I'm a social worker of almost 30 years, City Councilor, and proud Girl Dad. I've dedicated my life to public service and mentoring young people throughout Worcester.  On the City Council, I led the fight for safe schools with the necessary resources, and successfully brought sports back to middle schools. I fought against increasing residential property taxes, and advocated for a transparent and accountable Government, especially when it came to taxpayers' hard earned dollars.  The same old leadership is failing. Housing prices are skyrocketing, crime and mental health are major problems, and there is too much focus on downtown and not enough on the local economic hubs in neighborhoods across the city. I'm running for Mayor so that you and I can write the next chapter in Worcester's history and build a City that is safe, sustainable, and affordable. I humbly ask for your vote on November 7th.    Khrystian has been an advocate for Worcester's children, youth and families his entire life -  beginning as a student leader of an anti-drug program at Holy Name. After losing three friends to gun violence, Khrystian has dedicated his career to helping local families rise beyond poverty and violence - from his work in child protection to his nearly 20 years leading the Crompton Park Summer Basketball program.A first generation American, Khrystian graduated from Wheaton College with a degree in Sociology and Psychology, and went on to receive a Masters Degree in Social Work from Simmons College and a Public Management & Leadership Certificate from the Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donttouchmypodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donttouchmypodcast/support

“HACE, or The Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement, is an organization that I am honored to lead,” says Patricia Mota. “Headquartered in Chicago, national in scope, its mission since 1982 has been to positively impact workplaces by cultivating the pipeline of Latino talent and providing the community the insight, the access and the support to be successful in their careers.”Since taking the reins eight years ago, HACE has grown more than tenfold in annual revenue, reaching five times as many people.AI Summary* Patricia Mota is the President and CEO of The Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement (HACE).* HACE cultivates the pipeline of Latino talent and provides insight, access, and support for them to be successful in their careers.* HACE's programs include leadership development, coaching, mentoring, and networking events.* The organization has a reach of nearly 100,000 individuals and nearly 200 corporate partners across the United States and 13 countries.* Under Mota's leadership, HACE grew revenue by over 10x and the people reached by over 5x in just eight years.* One of HACE's core pillars is its pipeline and leadership development programs.* Mota believes that true impact and transformation do not happen unless through an intentional model that builds a community of trust, self-awareness, and honing an authentic self in roles.* Patricia discussed the importance of self-awareness in leadership development, the power of networking and building strategic relationships, and launching programs even if they are not perfect.* Mota highlights the importance of embracing diversity and building inclusive spaces.* Individuals and companies can join HACE through their website or events.HACE has “three core pillars,” Patricia says.“One is through talent acquisition. So programs, services, events where we're actively connecting job seekers to career opportunities to our employer partners, to talents, anywhere from interns to senior level talent across all business functions across various areas,” she says.“Secondly, which has been over the last decade, our fastest growing is our pipeline and leadership development programs. These are cohort initiatives that start as young as the high school level all the way to the senior level, where we work with a group of individuals, 15 to 25 or so at a time, various cohorts at a time, going through individual coaching, leadership assessments, culturally relevant content. But what I'm most proud of, it's enabled us to create a strong, multi-generational support network across the nation where we have executives, senior leaders and subject matter experts coming back and giving back through our programs and those in their careers doing the same not only for professionals but for our students,” Patricia says“The third and final area, which is just as important, is what we consider thought leadership. These are opportunities that we bring organizations, employers together to share best practices, to network with one another and to shine a light on those that are doing great work that help fulfill our mission,” she says.“We have a reach of nearly 100,000 individuals that we serve across the country, nearly 200 corporate partners. These are some of the bigger employers that we work with to support our mission and have graduates from our programs from the US and now 13 countries since we went virtual in 2020,” she says.Patricia began her work at HACE, leading a program called Mujeres de HACE, a Latina leadership program. When she took over, it operated as a series of workshops taught in Chicago. Today, the program has over 3,200 alums from 135 cities in the US. She credits the program with helping women “not only increase their pay, increase promotions, but get into leadership roles.”“I kind of fell into the fundraising, but because I was so passionate about the impact and the work, I was bringing in additional partners and funders,” she says. Not surprisingly, her leaders encouraged her to focus on that.When her predecessor left in 2014, she was tapped as an interim head. Some in her circle encouraged her to put her own name forward as a permanent replacement. She did and was chosen.“Since April 2015, eight years I have been serving as president and CEO of the organization,” she says, adding when prodded, “At that point in time, we were under 20,000 members, individuals that we had served. Now we're 100,000. At the time, we were at just under a $400,000 operating budget. Now we're at the 5 million mark.”She has a remarkable superpower:  the ability to build and scale solutions.How to Develop the Ability to Build and Scale Solutions As a SuperpowerPatricia scaled HACE's women's leadership program by leveraging her network and relationships. In college, she discovered a sort of sorority of Latina professionals who provided mentorship and networking. She used their connections to expand the program to new markets.

Andrew Nickson, Honourary Reader in Public Management and Latin American Studies at the University of Birmingham and expert in Paraguay's politics joins The LatinNews Podcast  on Episode 4 to provide an overview of the recent elections and some of the serious dilemmas facing the Colorado Party's president-elect Santiago Peña.  On the home-front, can Peña combat the rampant corruption, drug-related violence, poor education levels and increase trust in government institutions - including accusations of fraud in the recent elections?

His main interest is in technology and law and has worked with the FBI, The National Institute of Justice, Interpol, the United Nations, and the U.S. Bureau of Justice.

So hang on -- this is a bumpy ride. We recorded on the Porch at Gebhards Beer Culture Bar on the UWS of Manhattan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
