With the United States withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, there is a lot of uncertainty about what U.S. climate diplomacy will look like under the current administration. But despite challenges at the national level, many state governments are poised to continue making progress on global climate action. This new dynamic is already playing out in response to ocean acidification. Daniel and Alison sat down with Jessie Turner, executive director of the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification (OA Alliance), to explore the landscape—or seascape—of subnational climate diplomacy.   Show notes: Exploring the Policy Landscape of Carbon Dioxide Removal (briefing): https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/091224cdr  En-shoring a Better Future for Coastal Ecosystems and Communities (podcast): https://www.eesi.org/podcasts/view/8.1-en-shoring-a-better-future-for-coastal-ecosystems-and-communities  A Resilient Future for Coastal Communities (report): https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/a-resilient-future-for-coastal-communities  Making Waves: The Importance of Oceans at COP28 (article): https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/making-waves-the-importance-of-oceans-at-cop28 EESI Resources for the 2024 U.N.

Lauren McPhillips didn't always dream of being a professor, but she knew she loved solving problems.After earning three degrees in Earth systems science and environmental engineering at Cornell University, McPhillips completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at Arizona State University, where she met our host Alysha. Now, she's working on ecological and water resources engineering problems from green stormwater infrastructure to solar implementation. In her position as a researcher and assistant professor at Penn State's Institute for Energy & the Environment, she studies how best to implement solar power across ecosystems while preserving ecosystem services in proposed solar fields.Solar farms get a lot of pushback due to their potential to interrupt ecosystems, whether they're just taking up important habitat space or actually causing harm through increased erosion or stormwater runoff. But McPhillips argues that, when done carefully, solar power could be just the nature-positive energy solution we need.Lauren's Haiku:Solar energyCan keep nature's benefitsCould be a win-winGuest Bio: https://iee.psu.edu/people/lauren-mcphillipsMcPhillips' Lab Website: https://sites.psu.edu/lmcphillips/

[1:59] Elise Farnham of Illumine Consulting recently joined us here on RIMScast. On December 4th and 5th, she will host Applying and Integrating ERM. Other dates for the Fall and Winter are available on the Virtual Workshops calendar of RIMS.org/virtualworkshops. [2:20] Interview! I am so excited to present an interview with our guest today, John Hagel! He will deliver the opening keynote address at the RIMS ERM Conference 2024. It's titled Embracing Change to Manage Risk. [2:37] John is a visionary with more than 40 years of experience as a management consultant, entrepreneur, and thought leader in Silicon Valley. He will kick off our conference, exploring how technological innovation is transforming the global economy, society, and the risk landscape. [2:55] John will also explore how these concepts will influence and intersect with three critical risk tenets: strategy alignment, culture and accountability, and risk capabilities. There's so much to discuss. Let's get to it! [3:09] John Hagel, welcome to RIMScast! John joins a long line of impactful keynote speakers for the RIMS ERM Conference. He is excited about it! [3:54] John was drawn to Silicon Valley decades ago because of the sense of optimism and the energy around addressing opportunities in the future and also because it's the seedbed of some amazing digital technology. [4:17] John founded a couple of tech startups. He was a senior executive with Atari in the video game business from 1982 to 1984, a partner at McKinsey & Company, helping found their Silicon Valley office, and led a research center at Deloitte, called the Center for the Edge. [5:20] Atari provided an opportunity for young people to get into digital technology. [6:09] John talks about the risks in technology over the years. Digital technology is improving exponentially over time. What's competitive today becomes obsolete a couple of days from now or years from now. [6:27] John has done a lot of work around what he calls the big shift, or the long-term forces that are redefining the global economy and society. On one side, the big shift creates mounting performance pressure, the competition intensifies and the pace of change accelerates. [6:46] A small event in a faraway place quickly becomes a globally disruptive event. There's a lot of risk from the mounting performance pressure. One of the consequences of all this is that it increases the risk of the status quo. Doing what you've done before becomes more risky. [7:24] At the same time, the big shift is creating exponentially expanding opportunity, with far more value at far less resource, far more quickly. It decreases the risk of creating exponential value. [8:14] John believes the most disruptive trend over the past years has been customers becoming more powerful with access to more information. They use that information to find someone much more effective at addressing their needs. They're becoming less trusting. [8:44] John sees trust eroding in large institutions around the world. That's disruptive, as large institutions want and need trust but they're losing it. This is business-to-business trust. It is being lost because of the spreading emotion of fear. [10:35] In Silicon Valley, John had the opportunity to work with some of the most successful technology companies. He found that they have a different approach to strategy than most traditional organizations. John is a strong proponent of the value of this approach. [10:56] This different approach is called Zoom Out-Zoom In. Zoom out 10 to 20 years; what's the really big opportunity we could be pursuing? Zoom in; what can we do in the next six to 12  months to help us accelerate our movement toward that opportunity? [11:25] Companies that pursue the Zoom In-Zoom-Out strategy focus on the risk of not acting. They move forward but don't try to do massive 10-year projects. They do something in the next six months that can help them learn faster what's required to achieve the opportunity at low risk. [12:16] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On October 10th, Zurich returns to present Long-Term Property Strategies for a Resilient Future. On October 17th, Resolver will discuss The Future of Risk & Compliance: 5 Key Insights for the Modern Leader.

The link is on this page. [14:43] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. That is achieved, in part, by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [13:57] Whether you want to apply for a grant, participate in the Risk Manager on Campus program, or just learn more about Spencer, visit SpencerEd.org.

Awardees are typically notified at the beginning of December. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. [15:40] Back to My Interview with RIMS ERM Conference 2024 Keynote Speaker, John Hagel! John loves Boston. He loves the combination of incredible history and all the universities there. It's got a youthful culture; the combination of age and youth makes it interesting. [16:38] For six years, John lived in Boston. For four of those years, he was in a graduate program for both an MBA and a JD from Harvard. He was recruited by Boston Consulting Group to be a consultant and spent two years there. He just didn't like the cold winters and hot summers. [17:30] Justin describes the emergence of the RIMS Risk Maturity Model. It serves as a template or guide for how effective ERM can be run. A link to it is on this page. John took the model. It was challenging for him as a solo practitioner; it was hard to apply five pillars to an individual. [18:15] John found the five pillars and the different levels of maturity enlightening. The model shows the complexity of ERM. It's not just one pillar and one stage. In terms of maturity, it's a set of stages. John particularly likes the emphasis on continuous cycles of improvement. [19:05] John also liked that at the highest level, the focus was future-oriented decision-making, encouraging and helping people to look ahead to future opportunities and risks. The model helps leaders to see that ERM is a continuously improving cycle. [19:48] No matter how good an ERM program is at any time, there is more to come. John likes the focus on the future and the emphasis on continuous learning. We must learn constantly and never assume we're experts with all the answers. There are more questions that need answers. [20:15] The five pillars John mentioned are Strategy Alignment, Culture & Accountability, Risk Management Capabilities, Risk Governance, and Analytics. [20:44] John's opening keynote address will cover his research on how the world is changing and the implications for risk management, the big shift with mounting performance pressures as a key factor. He will discuss the new approach to strategy as old approaches are challenged. [21:24] We need to step back and reflect on what strategy is going to help us manage risk more effectively. We're in a time when fundamental transformation is essential. He will talk about the role of AI in ERM as a catalyst for change. [22:08] John will focus on three pillars of the RIMS Risk Maturity Model: Strategy Alignment, Culture & Accountability, and Risk Management Capabilities and how to address them in the rapidly changing world. John will have no visuals. He encourages audience interaction. [23:14] Justin emphasizes there will be some Q&A time at the end of the session, and that people should take notes during the address. Please come prepared with questions that can enhance the audience's knowledge. [24:09] John warns against underestimating the risk of continuing as you are and focusing just on the present. Look into the future to see how risks may be changing over time. In addition to internal risks, look for ways to reduce the risks to your stakeholders, customers, and suppliers. [25:00] John sees a positive trend of understanding that as the world is changing, more opportunity is emerging. Explore the opportunity. Understanding how technological innovation transforms our opportunities and risks becomes critical. [25:26] John, we look forward to seeing you on the morning of November 18th in Boston, kicking off our RIMS ERM Conference 2024. You're going to explain how to embrace change through innovation and the psychology of change. Anyone in risk management will take away a lot!

[7:00] The second paper is on risk interdependencies or interconnectedness. Risks don't stay in silos. We have risk registers by which we manage and organize risks, but generally, we underestimate risk because we don't account for the cascading effect of risk events. [7:45] Justin will update the show notes for this episode to reflect when these two papers come out. After September, listeners can check out the show notes and download these papers. [8:15] Michael has been in ERM at Onsemi for 10 years. His bachelor's and master's degrees are in electrical engineering. He worked in telecom before semiconductors. He worked on the business management side. [8:45] When Onsemi formalized its ERM program, it named a Chief Risk Officer. Michael had a conversation with him. If risk is going to be treated as part of a strategy, Michael was interested. If it was a governance or reporting function, it wasn't for Michael. [9:08] The Chief Risk Officer had a similar philosophy. He delegated putting the program together to Michael and supported him with what he needed. Michael had a lot of freedom. He's been doing it ever since. [9:54] Michael discusses how the CHIPS Act impacts Onsemi. They have a government affairs group to focus on that. Michael is always looking at what parts of their manufacturing and infrastructure need to expand. [10:25] The CHIPS Act provides an incentive for doing more pieces in the U.S. There are similar programs in other countries where Onsemi has a footprint. Onsemi is in 10 countries with 20-plus manufacturing sites and more, including sales and support functions. [10:50] Michael says they're always reviewing their footprint, where they need to expand, and how. Expanding the manufacturing of semiconductors takes tens of millions of dollars and years to build. When there is government support, every semiconductor company takes note. [11:46] Onsemi is a tech-heavy, engineering-heavy global company with 30,000 employees. You have to get very analytical with the engineering group. [12:33] Engineers are trained to solve problems full-speed ahead, using key assumptions they have in their heads. Michael is asking the organization to step back and hear what those assumptions are first. An assumption may be based 90% in fact but 10% in uncertainty. [13:19] Michael asks the organization to discuss the 10% probability that the opposite is true. That's where the risk lies. Can they make that 10% likelihood into 2%? That's risk mitigation. [13:34] In tech-heavy industries, we acknowledge and respect engineering training to solve problems, drive solutions, and work within their vocabulary. How do we put a risk framework into that model so the company's risk profile can be improved? It takes time. [14:02] Is Michael a patient person? It depends! More often than not. [14:53] When Michael won the ERM Global Award of Distinction for the ERM program at Onsemi, the Chief Risk Officer called the Chairman of the Board and the Risk Committee to let them know of the Award. It was vindication that the company was going in the right direction. [15:34] The Risk department felt they were seeing the positive impact of the ERM Program. They saw the industry felt the emerging risk topic they submitted with their application was innovative and positive. [15:55] That program within the ERM Program was well-regarded within the company and led people to think about the future and get into an open discussion. People wanted to participate. [16:30] About four years ago, Onsemi's long-time COO retired and new leadership came in. Michael tells how the ERM Program changed with the new leadership. They were much more focused on accountability and ownership. They wanted to remove self-reporting. [18:47] It's RIMS Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On September 19th, Origami Risk returns to deliver Leveraging Integrated Risk Management For Strategic Advantage. On September 26th, Archer returns to discuss The Future of RMIS: Beyond Traditional Approaches. [19:07] On October 3rd, Diligent will host Mastering ERM: Leveraging Internal and External Risk Factors for Strategic Advantage. On October 10th, Zurich returns to present Long-Term Property Strategies for a Resilient Future. [19:24] On October 24th, HUB International returns for the fourth installment of their Ready for Tomorrow series, From AI to the SEC: The Future of D&O Litigation and Regulatory Exposures. [19:37] On November 4th, Justin will be hosting a special RIMS Webinar Presentation, Lessons from Veterans on Strategic Risk Leadership. That session will feature insights and perspectives from risk managers who had previously served in the U.S. Armed Services. [19:56] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. As always, registration is complimentary for RIMS members.  [20:08] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. That is achieved, in part, by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [20:23] Whether you want to apply for a grant, participate in the Risk Manager on Campus program, or just learn more about Spencer, visit SpencerEd.org. [20:33] On that note, applications are being accepted for internship grants. Since 1999, Spenser has awarded over $2.7 million in internship grants to over 540 recipients. To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the United States, Canada, or Bermuda. [20:51] The application deadline is October 15th, 2024. Awardees are typically notified at the beginning of December. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. [21:05] Let's Return to My Interview with Michael Zuraw! [21:23] The program shifted with new management to an open 45-minute interview. Michael doesn't ask individuals about any specific risk but starts them talking about their concerns relative to company strategy and execution. [21:42] It's much more challenging to analyze the input from the interview but it identifies items the company might otherwise miss. [21:52] The issues are ranked and tiered. Then it comes down to assigning ownership and accountability. Leaders pick out issues each year and assign cross-functional teams with action plans to address them. Bonus goals are tied to the plans. [22:16] Depending on what the company, the board, and the risk committees want to focus on, the teams must be comfortable with making adjustments. The program and ERM managers can be successful as the shifts happen. Be open-minded to new approaches and ideas. Be flexible. [23:10] Onsemi just finished its fourth cycle of interviews and action teams, as the ERM program is in its 10th year. In its first five years, it had reached maturity. Then under new management, it took time to adapt to the interviews and analyze the data. [23:48] Michael says, now in our fourth cycle of interviews, our maturity level is back up. We have good interactions with the board and several committees within the board. We have an executive risk committee that we function very well with. We're much more efficient in doing it. [24:11] Onsemi has integrated some AI processing of interviews. Michael has himself and a staff of two. As they get more efficient, they conduct better interviews because they're not worried about taking notes and getting the notes right. [24:35] As the ERM program matures, the ERM managers get better at their jobs and their interviewees get better at identifying risks. [24:52] At the ERM Conference on November 18th Michael will lead two sessions. He will lead the “Dancing with Uncertainty” morning session. Michael says this is a discussion on decision process, decision-making, decision quality, and risk. [25:26] It's not uncommon for executives to believe that the higher the title, the better the decision-making skill. Michael disagrees. There is an approach of discipline in decision-making that allows you to understand uncertainty and how it leads to risk. [26:00] Michael often says that if everyone in your company, from janitor to CEO and everyone in between, were 20% more disciplined in how they make decisions, your company would be doing quite a bit better. So, what discipline can be applied to decision-making to reduce risk? [26:29] In the afternoon, a member of Michael's staff, Alicia Tuckett, will present “The Illusion of Insight: Why Risk Interviews Fail to Deliver,” on how to do open-ended interviews, analyze the conversational input, and turn it into risk statements, risk categories, and data to analyze. [29:23] Michael hopes to solicit the crowd for ideas to evolve the ERM program even more. [29:33] Michael will host another session that day with his SERMC colleague Denise Sobczak, “Pre-Mortem or Post-Mortem. If You Were a Patient, Which Would You Choose?” on scenario planning to weed out risks by thinking of everything that might go wrong before it does. [31:11] Michael calls having a Pre-Mortem a great tool. It's efficient and not expensive to run. It doesn't take much time. It's one of the biggest bang-for-the-buck scenario approaches for risk management. [31:22] At the ERM Conference 2023, Denise co-presented on the scenario planning sessions. You are in for quality discussions at the RIMS ERM Conference 2024, for all sessions. Michael's insight will be invaluable. [32:02] Justin tells Michael it has been such a pleasure to have him here on RIMScast! Justin will update this episode's show notes with the links to Michael's two papers coming in the Fall. He looks forward to seeing Michael on November 18th and 19th. [32:19] Justin thanks Michael for being such a valuable contributor to the SERMC at RIMS. Michael says he learns something new every time he gets together with the council. [32:42] Special thanks again to Michael Zuraw for joining us here on RIMScast. Michael has two RIMS reports that will be published on the Risk Knowledge page of RIMS.org in the next couple of weeks. Check back then on this episode's show notes for the updated links. [33:03] Michael will be presenting or co-presenting three sessions at the RIMS ERM Conference 2024 on November 18th, starting in the morning with “Dancing with Uncertainty,” and then in the afternoon with “The Illusion of Insight: Why Risk Interviews Fail to Deliver.” [33:24] Michael will help close out the day with “Pre-Mortem or Post-Mortem. If You Were a Patient, Which Would You Choose?” [33:31] There is also a link in this interview's show notes to Michael's ERM Q&A based on his 2019 win of the ERM Award of Distinction.

Welcome to Season 8 of The Climate Conversation podcast! Many of us are returning from trips to the coast, where breezy beaches provided a respite from the brutal summer heat. But these coastal areas are important for more than just the occasional vacation. Wetlands and estuaries, which connect inland rivers to the open ocean, are critical ecosystems for climate adaptation and carbon sequestration. In this episode, co-hosts Dan and Alison—alongside EESI Policy Director Anna McGinn—talk about coastal restoration with Daniel Hayden, president and CEO of Restore America's Estuaries.   Show notes: 2024 Coastal and Estuarine Summit: https://web.cvent.com/event/110611bc-78c6-43ad-b053-a9afd2a4263a/summary  The Mississippi River: https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/101024rivers  Building a Stronger Chesapeake Bay with EPA: https://www.eesi.org/podcasts/view/7.7-building-a-stronger-chesapeake-bay-with-epa  A Resilient Future for Coastal Communities: https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/a-resilient-future-for-coastal-communities  Celebrating Two Years of Coastal Resilience Solutions at EESI: https://www.eesi.org/podcasts/view/4.4-celebrating-two-years-of-coastal-resilience-solutions-at-eesi  What Is the Future for New Jersey's Coastal Marshes? https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/qa-what-is-the-future-for-new-jerseys-coastal-marshes 

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin Smulison interviews Elise Farnham about how ERM has changed, how new policies like the SEC climate disclosures influence the ERM landscape, and Elise's risk philosophy. They discuss whether organizational leaders are placing more value on ERM programs, and the biggest challenge for a risk practitioner to turn theory into practice. When did you first understand how the fundamentals of risk management can be used to form decisions beneficial to an organization? What are some commonalities among the risk professionals you've come across in the RIMS virtual workshops (or RIMS events)?   Listen for insight on risk management basics and more wisdom for your organization.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS.

On October 9th and 10th, Chris Hansen returns to deliver Fundamentals of Insurance. He's very popular in the Workers' Comp space. Other dates for the Fall and Winter are available on the Virtual Workshops Calendar of RIMS.org/virtualworkshops.  [2:27] Interview! We will be chatting with Elise Farnham of Illumine Consulting. Elise is very well known among the RIMS membership as she has been one of our instructors for the past 30 years! [2:43] Elise will be leading two upcoming courses for us here at RIMS. On September 25th and 26th, we've got Applying and Integrating ERM and on October 3rd and 4th, we have Fundamentals of Risk Management. [2:57] Elise will let us in on what it takes to apply and integrate ERM into an organization's framework and operations and we will talk about her ERM philosophies. Elise Farnham, welcome to RIMScast! [3:24] This year, Elise celebrated her 51st year in the risk and insurance industry. It's been an amazingly great career. She started in claims in the mid-seventies. She got involved with RIMS when she started working with large corporate clients in the late seventies and early eighties. [3:52] Elise took an interest in what RIMS was working to accomplish, reducing claims, all while she was working for a claims management firm. Elise has been working with RIMS since 1995. [4:51] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be on November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. [5:06] Elise became aware of the concept of ERM in the late nineties. She thought it would be a difficult job. ERM professionals have grown, frameworks have been developed, and we've seen some companies that lacked ERM fail spectacularly. [5:44] It has become evident that every company has to take the resources and strengths that they have, look at their entire risk picture, and turn what could be a bad situation into something positive for their organization. [6:17] Elise talks a lot in her classes about how to convert a problem into an opportunity that might help an organization. ERM has changed a lot in the last five years. Justin and Elise comment on how the pandemic may have helped companies realize the importance of ERM. [6:42] All of a sudden, companies were faced with a type of loss that came out of the blue. COVID-19 was the “black swan” that we will remember and write about for years to come. [7:00] How companies dealt with it, the resources they had to use, and changes to their work processes were all things that ERM considers. [7:14] Elise Farnham will be leading Applying and Integrating ERM on September 25th and 26th. [7:27] How does the SEC climate disclosure announcement change or influence the ERM landscape? It will impact how companies report their exposure. It will probably require some new technology to bring forward all of the information they will have to submit. [7:53] Elise thinks that will be a challenge for companies because there is a rule they will have to follow. Collecting data from every bit of an organization will be a significant challenge. It may help organizations use a good ERM program. It requires penetrating the silos to follow the law. [8:33] ERM will help companies to see the cumulative effect of risk. What if two bad things happen at one time? Getting more companies to have an ERM program will have a positive effect. It will be a lot of work to get there. [9:02] Elise has always been an optimist. She always tries to look at how this can benefit us. Perhaps that's why she has embraced ERM. It's not about how we can get hurt but how we can use a bad situation to make things better for the organization. She knows how difficult it can be. [9:55] Elise tells risk managers, “You don't want to be the one to go in and say, ‘We just lost all of this.' You don't want that to happen. That's a horrible situation to be in.” [10:12] It's much better to say, ‘I just saved you this much money because we have a policy in place, our people all know what to do, and this has never happened to us as it did to that other company.'” That's where Elise wants her risk managers to be. [10:46] Elise believes that today, organizational leaders put more value on ERM programs. The catch is understanding the amount of work that has to go into one. It takes resources and people to explore the organization, down to the risk owner, who may be on the factory floor. [11:17] The risk owner may not have risk management experience. Almost everybody has the philosophy that “it couldn't happen to us.” Understanding that something bad could happen and preparing for it in advance will be a challenge for them. [11:42] The C-Suite understands the value of ERM. It's a matter of applying the resources and following through. In her classes, Elise goes through the steps to take along the way. The feedback she gets is often, “Whew! That will take us a lot of time and effort!” They got the point! [12:08] It's RIMS Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On September 12th, HUB International returns to deliver the third part of their Ready for Tomorrow series, Pivot and Swerve: Staying Agile During Shifting Market Dynamics. [12:26] Also on September 12th is a complimentary webinar presented by the RIMS-CRMP and UCLA Extension, The Many Routes to Becoming an Enterprise Risk Management Practitioner. [12:36] On September 19th, Origami Risk returns to deliver Leveraging Integrated Risk Management For Strategic Advantage. On September 26th, Archer returns to discuss The Future of RMIS: Beyond Traditional Approaches. [12:54] On October 3rd, Diligent will host Mastering ERM: Leveraging Internal and External Risk Factors for Strategic Advantage. On October 10th, Zurich returns to present Long-Term Property Strategies for a Resilient Future. [13:11] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. As always, registration is complimentary for RIMS members.  [13:23] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. That is achieved, in part, by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [13:37] Whether you want to apply for a grant, participate in the Risk Manager on Campus program, or just learn more about Spencer, visit SpencerEd.org.

Purchase your tickets in advance because there is no guaranteed seating! [14:03] Our recent guest from Episode 293, Lilian Vanvieldt-Gray, will be our honoree. [14:09] Lilian is the Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Alliant Insurance Services and she will be honored for her valuable contributions to supporting the future of risk management and insurance. [14:26] That was a great episode, so after you finish this one, please go back and listen to Episode 293. [14:32] Let's Return to Our Interview with Elise Farnham! [15:14] Elise loves this business, and helping risk managers do a better job. It's very fulfilling. [15:51] The philosophical aspect of risk management is very logical. The real-world work part of it is almost drudgery, pulling information from everywhere within an organization, making people understand that they could have a problem if we don't take care of it. [16:16] Thinking of combining several problems at once is hard for some people to imagine. Bringing people into the real world of risk is one of the biggest problems; getting them to understand that, yes, this could happen to them. [16:40] Elise's family members have called her for advice after some unforeseen event, saying “I didn't know this could happen!” Yet, the stats are out there. The stories are out there. It's just, “It could never happen to me!” Risk managers are still fighting that battle quite heavily. [17:13] Elise will also lead the virtual workshop, Fundamentals of Risk Management on October 3rd and 4th, 2024. [17:42] Elise first became involved with large corporate accounts in 1987. She worked with risk managers and saw how they had to identify risk, analyze that risk, come up with a solution for it, and then implement the solution. Those are the basics of risk management. [18:03] The focus was always on hazard risk, not on opportunities that might be developed. [18:10] Elise took the Associate in Risk Management (ARM) program, which helped her to define that knowledge and to understand better what her clients were going through. [18:21] Then RIMS developed a program about risk management, providing fundamentals. Elise thinks the fundamentals are more important than ever, now, as there are a lot of new people in the industry, fresh out of college. They know the theory but haven't seen it applied. [18:43] In her workshops, Elise always tries to apply this to the real world so that the day they go back to the office they have something they can apply immediately to their organization. [19:11] What risk managers learn in Elise's workshops will change what they do in their organization. That's a big challenge. [19:50] What Elise has noticed from teaching risk managers is their energy. They are ready to go. They are thirsty for this knowledge. They know they have concerns. They know there are some things they could do better. [20:08] They just need the resources in their brains to make that happen. Elise talks to them about that. You can only make decisions based on what you know. If you don't know something, you can't include that resource in your decision process. [20:27] Elise says it's great to see the wheels start to turn while she's teaching. All of a sudden, the aha moment hits. They have a strong desire to go back and do good things. It's a compliment when they tell her they have a list of things to do when they get back to the office. [20:55] They want to have an impact within their organization. They are there to learn something new that will help their organizations. Elise loves teaching with folks who are like that. They are like sponges. It's fun to facilitate discussions with them about how to manage risk. [21:58] Justin says it has been such a delight to catch up with Elise Farnham. The next two courses Elise teaches are Applying and Integrating ERM on September 25th and 26th, and Fundamentals of Risk Management on October 3rd and 4th. The links are in the show notes.

How companies dealt with it, the resources they brought to bear, and the changes to their work processes were all things that ERM considers. — Elise Farnham   I've always been an optimist. I always try to look at how this can benefit us. Perhaps that's why I have embraced ERM so much. — Elise Farnham   I just love this business and I love what we do. I particularly love to help risk managers do a better job. It's very fulfilling for me. — Elise Farnham   The stats are out there. The stories are out there. It's just, “It could never happen to me!” I think risk managers are still fighting that battle quite heavily. — Elise Farnham   The most important thing that I have noticed from teaching risk managers is their energy. They are ready. They are thirsty. They know they have some concerns. They know there are some things they could do better. They just need the resources. — Elise Farnham  

Introducing Dr. Brian Bledsoe, Director of the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Georgia and farmer, guitar player, and dad (not in that order.)Our hosts Alysha Helmrich and Todd Bridges join Bledsoe in reviewing his lifelong commitment to research and interdisciplinary collaboration. His career has largely focused on river management and hydrology, leading him to work not just with engineers but ecologists, economists, geologists, lawyers and more. When he proposed a new institute at UGA focusing on natural solutions for infrastructure problems, he found a large community of interest that confirmed just how critical interdisciplinary expertise was for resilience. Bledsoe described the "tremendous potential" nature-based solutions have to change how we approach development. His own mission in the movement is "to act as a connector of people who are committed to rethinking infrastructure." IRIS itself is meant to adapt to needs of the researchers, stakeholders and students that comprise it, but Bledsoe hopes that the institute can act as a lighthouse for natural infrastructure solutions. He explains how IRIS is promoting this work for their large community of students and partners, and calls on practitioners of the IRIS mission to be "relentless listeners," sharing knowledge while learning from others. Listen now to learn more about IRIS's ongoing work on nature-based solutions!Brian's poems:When in doubt,Don't just build it stout-Spread it out!Bend, don't breakHard and strong will failGreen sapling.Dr. Brian Bledsoe, UGA IRIS: https://iris.uga.edu/iris-people/brian-bledsoe-p-e/ Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems: https://iris.uga.edu/IRIS's new Natural Infrastructure Certificate: https://iris.uga.edu/natural-infrastructure-certificate/ASCE's statement on NbS: https://www.asce.org/advocacy/policy-statements/ps575---nature-based-solutionsIRIS's NbS Job Board: https://iris.uga.edu/the-iris-job-board/Check out this past episode that also discusses interdisciplinary resilience: https://iris.uga.edu/2023/11/15/resilient-futures-podcast-episode-2-promoting-resilience-interdisciplinary-expertise-and-collaboration/

Join us in discussion with Jakob Shockey, co-founder of Project Beaver, for an insightful webinar that explores a pivotal question, "How can we move towards coexistence and partnership with Nature even in places where we as humans have dramatically altered the landscapes?"  Looking to Nature and co-creative partnership, we will delve into the role of beavers as natural engineers and their crucial contributions to environmental health and sustainability.During the webinar, you'll learn about the critical ecological benefits that beavers provide. They create and maintain wetlands, essential for a diverse range of flora and fauna, which serve as natural water filters, reduce flooding risks, and help in carbon sequestration efforts. Jakob will discuss how the structures built by beavers, such as dams, can prevent flash flooding and reduce soil erosion, essential for restoring degraded landscapes and repairing damaged watersheds.Despite their importance, beavers are often seen as nuisances. This session will challenge such views and highlight the need for a shift towards coexistence and appreciation of beavers as valuable partners in our environmental efforts.Engage with us to explore how co-creative and co-existence efforts with beavers can lead to a more sustainable and resilient future for all life.NOTE:  Slides were used in this episode.  To see the visual, visit the video recording here.Jakob Shockey is a professional wildlife biologist, entrepreneur, land steward, and storyteller. His work focuses on restoring the natural process and order of resilient habitat, its wildlife, and the complex interrelationship with humans. He has been working professionally in Oregon's streams, rivers and wetlands for over a decade. He is the foremost authority in mitigating beaver conflicts with human infrastructure in Oregon, through his company Beaver State Wildlife Solutions.  Jakob also co-founded and leads Project Beaver, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering humans to partner with beavers and value their works. Jakob lives in the Siskiyou Mountains of Southwestern Oregon, with his wife and their three children along the same creek he grew up swimming in. While Jakob remembers cannonballing into pools that teamed with young coho, that stream now goes dry every summer, and instead of swimming, his kids play with powdery rocks. That shift in baselines for what is perceived as “normal” in just one generation has animated his work.Jakob values community, truth, awareness, and grace. He is a clear-eyed optimist, working for resilient human and non-human habitat with tools like strong inference and evolutionary theory. He flies a paraglider, climbs big trees, volunteers with Search and Rescue, plays the fiddle, and once gentled a wild horse, which he took with him to college. He also sings to himself, loves flying kites and can't spell.To learn more about Jakob and Project Beaver, visit their website at:  https://projectbeaver.org/Support the Show.

The CEO of the Impact Investing Institute, Kieron Boyle, discusses the nuances of impact investing, its various definitions, and the role it plays in creating a fairer, greener, and more resilient future. Kieron explains the mission of the Impact Investing Institute, a nonprofit established by the UK government to accelerate impact investing both in the UK and globally. The conversation highlights how impact investing operates within financial markets to drive significant social and environmental outcomes. Kieron Boyle defines impact investing as investing with the intention to generate positive social and environmental impacts alongside financial returns. This type of investing can range from commercial-plus investments, which offer good financial returns with additional impact considerations, to investments with high impact but potentially lower financial returns. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using impact as a lens for investment decisions, aiming to mobilize an additional trillion pounds of impact investment over the next five years. They explore the need for deeper, more liquid, and transparent markets to facilitate greater investment in impactful ventures. The episode also addresses the challenges of impact investing, such as the necessity of pricing negative externalities to better align market activities with social and environmental goals. Kieron explains how blended finance can pool different types of capital to unlock greater investment in impactful ventures. They discuss the role of various actors, including governments, private businesses, institutional investors, and philanthropic organizations, in advancing impact investing. Collaboration among these sectors is highlighted as crucial for achieving systemic change. Kieron shares practical steps and resources for those interested in impact investing. The Impact Investing Institute offers a comprehensive knowledge hub and library to help investors and other stakeholders learn more about impact investing. A recently published report, "Family Offices: A Roadmap to Impact," provides insights into how family offices are engaging with impact investing. The episode concludes with a call to action for investors to adopt impact as a fundamental filter in their investment strategies, aiming to create a more equitable and sustainable future.  Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast.

Previously, she was the CEO and co-founder of TrovBase, a secure data discovery platform, and before that, she worked at IBM modernizing IT systems. Sam holds a Bachelors degree in Economics and Data Analysis from George Mason University and an MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business, where she met Amy Webb. As a huge fan of the Future Today Institute and Amy's SXSW keynotes, I couldn't be more excited to have Sam on the show to give us a glimpse into the future and share practical insights on building resilience in this time of massive transition. In this episode, you'll hear Sam's insights on the convergence of A.I., biotech, and connected ecosystems, creating a "supercycle" unlike any general-purpose technology that we've seen before. We discuss the consolidation of power in tech, the importance of resilience, and the need for experimentation during this transitionary period. We also dive into fascinating trends like using human brain cells to power chips, universal basic income to address the social safety net, and the importance of human purpose and meaning during this seismic change.

He explains the importance of creating psychologically safe environments and discusses the impact of AI and digitization on mental health. The discussion also touches potential effects of AI on job displacement and the need for adaptation and regulation, as growing development in virtual reality will blur the lines between real and artificial. Yuri mentions his interest in obstacle racing and focuses on health-related topics outside of work, such as bio-psychosocial health and aging. The conversation concludes with reflecting on the importance of awareness and control in managing mental health, especially in developing a sustainable future. Please join in to find more.

As climate extremes worsen, insurance plays a more important role in helping people recover from disasters. Yet even many of the most exposed people do not buy the coverage they need, while the global protection gap continues to widen as more homes are developed in high-risk areas. In this episode, InsTech's Ali Smedley and Henry Gale talk to Carolyn Kousky, Associate Vice President for Economics and Policy, Environmental Defense Fund and author of 'Understanding Disaster Insurance: New Tools for a More Resilient Future'. The book provides an overview of disaster insurance markets and the role of the public sector, then focuses on how innovations in insurance, such as parametric coverage and community-based catastrophe insurance, can build resilience. Topics include: Encouraging risk reduction and mitigation How to design effective parametric microinsurance products Implementing community-based flood insurance in New York City How insurance can help create a nature-positive economy The roles of the public and private sectors in building disaster resilience Why countries with developed insurance markets still have large protection gaps If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

While Elon Musk erroneously claims population collapse is our biggest worry, world population is hitting 8 billion, adding the latest billion faster than any time in history. The UN has declared world population will surpass 8 billion on November 15, 2022. We persist in adding about 80 million people to the planet every year, despite overwhelming evidence we've outgrown our planet. Christopher Tucker, author of A Planet of 3 Billion: Mapping Humanity's Long History of Ecological Destruction and Finding Our Way to a Resilient Future, joins Dave in a conversation intended to help cure the rampant overshoot illiteracy resulting from misguided silence on the subject. This illiteracy is demonstrated as Dave shares his new YouTube video (link below) about the 8 billion milestone. Tucker shares his disappointment in United Nations messaging around World Population Day (July 11) and the 8 billion milestone, and Dave turns his criticism up to eleven. He makes this important point about the silence on overshoot and overpopulation: If responsible people don't talk about these issues, irresponsible people will – and they'll spread disinformation and perpetuate the negative attitudes we want to avoid. The conversation also turns to coercive pronatalism, a topic that may be new to some listeners. It's surprisingly pervasive.  LINKS: 8 Billion is Too Many: Don't be a Twit About Overpopulation - by Dave Gardner on Medium(we'll post this link here later today)  World Population Hits 8 Billion: What Do People on the Street Think? - new YouTube video by Dave Gardnerhttps://youtu.be/ncT-J5BsVuc New Rule: Let the Population Collapse - Bill Maherhttps://youtu.be/HB97iwcm_Qc A Planet of 3 Billion: Mapping Humanity's Long History of Ecological Destruction and Finding Our Way to a Resilient Future - by Christopher Tuckerhttp://planet3billion.com/index.html  Bending the Curve by 2030: On the Path to a Population Safe Harbour - by Christopher Tuckerhttps://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/761/515 We Know How Many People the Earth Can Support – by Christopher TuckerJournal of Population and Sustainability December 2020https://www.whp-journals.co.uk/JPS/article/view/657 How Many People Can the Earth Sustain? - The Stream on Al Jazeerah English  10/27/22https://youtu.be/EStNKj5WNnI Sustain What: How Many Billions Can a Heating, Pandemic-Wrapped Planet Support? - A Sustain What chat hosted by Earth Institute's Andrew Revkinhttps://youtu.be/KkPIyR_SrO4 Decline and Prosper!
