Podcasts about resilient organization

As the world continues to face multiple and interconnected crises, organizations are being challenged to revisit their resiliency plans and ensure that these will respond effectively to today's emerging and evolving risks. And considering the fast-changing nature of today's challenges, resiliency plans need to be risk-agnostic, allowing organizations to be agile in adapting them to the crisis they are facing. Marsh's Cathy Cyphus, Nicholas Martin, and Renata Elias discuss talk about the need for organizations to build well-structured and holistic resiliency plans that allow them to respond to multiple crises.

As a service models can help companies become more agile, which may provide more choices for digital solutions. Lenovo helps their clients build digital resiliency through application changes, leveraging cloud, and narrowing the IT skill gap.Yadin speaks with Dale Aultman, VP & GM of Infrastructure Solutions Group Services at Lenovo. Dale has almost 30 years of experience in IT strategy, execution and leadership. She helps Lenovo create as a service solutions, smarter technology, and go-to-market maintenance support. In this episode, Dale describes the importance of digital resiliency, the success of as a service models, and leveraging hybrid cloud for consistent operation models.---------Key Quotes:“From an as a service model, whether it be cloud or on-prem, you can better align your cost to your needs and use it to help you become more agile… I think that there's some interesting models from a cloud standpoint and from an as a service standpoint that can help clients navigate where they need to go and where they need to make some of those transitions from a digitization standpoint.”“If you want to take advantage of cloud, can your applications be migrated to cloud? There's a lot of legacy infrastructure out there, from even a cloud standpoint. What if you put something on a public cloud and all of a sudden your costs go up to X? These are real things that we've seen in the industry.”“A lot of clients are trying to align their cost with usage. And be able to leverage the latest technology, but also put their workloads in the right place. So if you think about things from a workload standpoint, that's really the starting point, as far as the needs for different workloads. Some are gonna work great in the public cloud, some of them are gonna be more expensive in the public cloud. So how do you look at a hybrid option to give you the economics of paying as you go? Aligning your cost with your usage and go into more of a hybrid model that allows you to take advantage of public cloud?“It's not just about hybrid cloud, it's also about digital work for solutions. And then frankly, while as a service will grow, it will probably grow faster than traditional IT. We also have a really good business in traditional IT. So it is about providing choice, and then it's about partnering with the industry leaders.”“I don't think that there's gonna be a one size fits all. I think it is about providing choice. It's gonna be about providing flexibility. And it's gonna be about helping clients fill those skill gaps when they identify that they just need to focus on higher value.”“CIOs are looking at hybrid cloud. I think there's a good reason for that. They wanna leverage the best of both. Where can they get the most benefit out of public cloud? And when can they get the most benefit of keeping something on-prem?  DevOps may be something that just makes sense to be able to use public cloud for. Developing in a cloud native way helps set clients up for the future. Where can they get the best of both worlds? As well as the security that they need at the right cost point.”---------Time stamps:01:47 Risks of ignoring digital resiliency03:44 Success of as a service models04:59 Challenges of becoming more resilient07:48 What should companies prioritize?12:56 How IT leaders can enact change16:09 The skill gap issue23:44 Leveraging hybrid cloud25:44 Consistent operational models28:47 Successfully deploying cloud30:43 Where to connect with Dale---------Links:Dale on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daleaultman/CIO Exchange on Twitter: https://twitter.com/vmwcioexchangeYadin Porter de León on Twitter: https://twitter.com/porterdeleon [Subscribe to the Podcast] On Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cio-exchange-podcast/id1498290907 For more podcasts, video and in-depth research go to https://www.vmware.com/cio

Leadership is a powerful role that allows you to realize what is bigger than yourself. How do you take on this role effectively? In this episode, Mark Havenner discusses how trust is the biggest factor in a resilient organization and how corporate should be working together more. He emphasizes that the corporate structure creates bottlenecks and slows down the efficiency of the organization. Mark Havenner is a marketing and communications strategist with a specialized focus on brand and executive thought leadership, strategic content development, and corporate communications strategies. He has more than 20 years of experience aligning messages with business goals and developing myriad communications vehicles and message strategies for a lengthy roster of clients. He started a consultancy in 2021, focusing on industry leadership communications and marketing.  It is important for entrepreneurs to understand why they are doing what they are doing and what the end goal is. Listen in as Denis and Mark tackle this critical aspect of leadership and how leaders should condition themselves for optimal performance. In this episode: Mark talks about how trust is the biggest factor in a resilient organization and that corporate should be working together more. The key to dismantling bottlenecks in businesses is to align around what the organization is trying to do and what its goals are. A common mistake businesses make is focusing on what they deliver to the market instead of why it matters. Mark argues that what makes Washington a great leader is his understanding of his role and the scope of what he was doing. Mark emphasizes the importance of trust in leaders and resilient organizations, noting that if leaders cannot trust their people, it will be difficult to manage through periods of uncertainty. Leaders need to scale back on what they do day-to-day in order to take care of their mental and physical health. Employees have expectations of leaders that have changed over the past few decades. They are more likely to set boundaries for themselves and be self-sufficient. The mindset shift for leaders will be to cooperate with other business leaders and industry leaders. Key Takeaways: Examine how the corporate structure is built with the framework of bottlenecks Business must be aligned with something bigger than profit The value statement is king in better positioning Understand resiliency to posture the organization to handle storms Leaders must embrace uncertainty and be flexible in order to thrive Leadership in the future will be cooperative and focused on solving world problems Tweetable Quotes: “The corporate structure is just built with a framework of bottlenecks. Everybody's getting in the way of everybody else, even though they have a shared goal and intention… Everything from meetings to what I'm doing on a Saturday afternoon… All of that works so much better without that corporate structure.” - Mark Havenner “If you don't know the point of the organization, then how are you supposed to know your role? And how are you supposed to know what your goals and objectives are?” - Mark Havenner Connect with Mark on https://www.linkedin.com/in/havenner/ (LinkedIn) and check out his http://www.havenner.com (website).

Resilience is the ability to grow through change, including good times and bad. It's being tough but also being flexible in your organization. We all have the capacity to be resilient, just as we have the capacity to be stressed and anxious over something. Planning before you act is the surest way to succeed. To attain a resilient organization, a leader must have an accurate picture of what must be done first. -Create an environment of psychological safety -Resilience is staying in that calm state -Holding back to stressors and hastened emotions As a leader and as an individual, to achieve resiliency you may ask, what can I do about it? What's the nitty-gritty of it I can solve? More of this is in the episode with Jodi Woelkerling. Find us on social media: BBSE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/7406...

Either acute disruption, like COVID, or chronic disruption, like the emergence of digital technologies across industries and use cases. So the question isn't a matter of will there be disruption, but what do leaders do in response? Business Professor Gerald Kane of Boston University, along with his co-authors, found themselves in the middle of a pandemic conducting deep research through hundreds of interviews with executives that resulted in new scholarship around thriving through disruption. The book is the Transformation Myth, and Professor Kane sat down with Peter to discuss it.

That's when she started down a path of helping herself and then turning and helping others who were in the same position. What is resilience? When we have stressors, and all of us will have it in our life, picking up signs of stress early and being self-aware enough to get us back as much in that state of calm as quickly as possible.

What is psychological safety and understanding the positive effects it has on employee wellbeing and success. In a small businesses or company investing in people is very imprtnat. You gain benefits you can gain when your leadership has a positive impact of on your employees. Healthcare organizations dropped their continuous improvement plan due to the pandemic, but what can they do to keep it going? What motivates them to pursue it?   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Jodi's new book is a road map for leaders and employees to handle stress within the workplace. It also provides advice on how managers can motivate their team in addition to keeping them going even when they are faced with challenges. Stress is common in any industry, which can be exhausting; we need people to motivate us and push the boundaries of our abilities and that is what leaders are supposed to do. Employees with psychological safety are more confident in their work. This confidence makes them produce better results for the company, further encouraging a positive atmosphere where everyone can succeed together Leaders should have a close relationship with their employees to boost their trust and confidence working together because that is the great foundation of teamwork that leads to success. Despite the pandemic, healthcare workers still have a job to do. They need someone who can motivate them and give them time for themselves so that they don't burn out entirely. Leadership is not limited to just managing the team's work; you can always reach out to your people in ways that show that you really care about them. Memorable Quotes from the Episode JODI WOELKERLING ‘'Knowing what your triggers are, knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are, knowing what situation helps you perform at your best self-awareness will go an enormous way and help you develop your strengths.''   So there are different stressors in different industries, definitely but stress is a common I think across all of them.

Resilience in action Resilience has become a popular word this year as it represents one thing that people can lean on to get through this clear and present crisis. But it’s a word that might make you feel like you need to take on more than you have already - when you might feel less and less like doing anything at all. It’s funny because by definition it refers to our ability to both “cope with adversity” and “protect ourselves from it”...which is why it’s such a sticky word. From that perspective, we should really think about how we do both of these things. So, despite the challenges we’re facing, I’d guess that we’re all still doing stuff. Still getting up and finding something that needs doing - and doing it. And what I’m talking about is framing up those actions in the form of a roadmap to resilience that builds over time. A plan that puts Cause and Effect in a perspective that has them pumping in unison. Do you know how the heart works? Basically it receives oxygen-poor blood from veins into the right ventricle - and it pumps oxygen-rich blood into arteries from the left ventricle. But what happens in between? The heart also circulates oxygen-poor blood through the lungs to oxygenate it before pushing back into the body…   In a similar way, we act because inbound information informs the energy we need to output - but that outbound information must be enriched by the oxygen of purpose and purity of meaning and intentional outcomes…in order to keep us “alive” That’s how I think about resilience - a way to oxygenate my actions so that they are focused on long term results and some sort of health benefit...for me, my family, my business partners and associates, my clients and any others indirectly affected by the things I do... Purpose, focus and diligence - not intrinsically heroic words. But anybody who has tried to get fit - lose weight - learn a skill - run a marathon - get elected (ha ha) - knows that their success will be achieved incrementally - that every little decision and action over time adds up... And, they draw from their experience and the experiences of others - unavoidably fraught by failures, disappointments, injuries, losses (or gains, in the case of weight loss)... Resilience is a mental callus - not to totally dull sensation, but to endure the pain of repeated effort… To minimize the risk of injury, while improving chances of greater success. This year has required a lot from us all. And, a lot more from some. And, for others it’s even meant paying the ultimate price… From all of this sacrifice we can learn and draw strength. As you and I, Thiago, shared our experiences from this year we landed on this topic for a few reasons...Eileen McDargh’s podcast on your Business Access feed stood out as really insightful. She spoke about the perpetual energy required for Resilience - and how it’s all about moving forward and adapting to change… This resonates with me. Then we talked about your “rake in the car” story...I don't know if you’ve already shared this story on your podcast, but you should... It concluded that failure doesn’t have to be a foregone conclusion… What’s really cool and motivating about all of this is that much of the value of Resilience lies in the storytelling - which proves it’s a universal theme -  it’s relatable and accessible… This is super important. In some ways, Resilience is contagious. Take that, CoronaVirus! In fact, the New York Times has dedicated a series to Resilience…with subsets in Health, Wellness...and even Horse Racing - incredible storytelling - and ingredients for Resilience themselves...  Feel like you’re going out of your mind? Consider your mindsetFixed mindsets don’t believe their abilities, intelligence and personalities can morph and change; they see mistakes and setbacks as incompetence -- and they tend to give up...Growth mindsets understand that intelligence and capabilities are malleable; they see base-hits are part of baseball, not just home runs...they see strike-outs as ways to help the next batter gauge the pitcher… They see success as incremental attempts at moving forward, not binary win/loss moments to be judged with finality…Is resilience overrated?Meaning, is it enough?Is it too much of an additional burden?Is it fair to ask of us?And more very human, very relatable anecdotes worth reading… The point is, this word is salient right now - but we have to agree that it must be put into action to mean anything. And, those actions must be part of a Ritual of Resilience for each of us… For me I had to think hard about how to respond to the toll Covid-19 has inflicted on my industry - live events… Pretty much overnight the whole industry vanished in a fog like Brigadoon. It’s been devastating for many people - agencies, vendors, suppliers, and experts of all sorts… It’s been hard on our clients too. And clearly it’s been hard on everybody. No question... But it’s also been a source of great invention, like this podcast. And, for me, it’s been a source of jet fuel for my business - enabling it to ascend to a new level and see the world much differently. We’ve increased our vernacular, expanded our expertise, and brought an arsenal of new skills to market...and while business is still challenging (really challenging), we feel very optimistic - and that enables us to achieve new milestones every day… As I thought about what we’ve done and decisions we’ve made this year that have enabled us to realize true progress… I landed on 5 essential inflection points in our process that made a huge difference. And I thought they might be worth sharing on this podcast… Since we don’t have visuals, think of a 5-pointed star where each point is an angle supported by 2 sides... maybe that helps following along. And we’ll start at the top... RESILIENCE: Begin by seeing resilience as a process of equilibrium. We have to intend to achieve Resilience, not assume that bouncing back from adversity will just result in resilience. From this starting point recognize a balance between Ingenuity and PreparednessPreparation: There’s a great McKinsey series on Building a Resilient Organization... It’s all about preparation. Preparing for resilience by investing in agility, speed and flexibility - and understanding that adversity can’t be avoided, only anticipated...Ingenuity: Set goals for ingenuity - meaning newness of approach and fresh perspectives on potential… And recognizing that ingenuity needs space to breathe - it needs a place to grow and become something discernable and valuable… Preparation buys you that time...Balancing Preparation with Ingenuity is the necessary overarching condition.RESET: Reset your business plan and its related actions. This means striking a balance between what most people have said or heard in the form of “pivoting” -- and the concept of “unrealized potential”Pivoting: As annoying as it sounds, came from this notion of doing what you do, but in a different direction. At face value it actually understates what’s really important and misleads around what’s really happening… But the important part is that a pivot literally changes scenery, alters perspective and forces minds to open to new options.Unrealized potential: The balancing part of this duo is employing necessary introspection to identify untapped skills, dormant or sidelined assets, unrealized expertise, raw abilities and potential applications.Seeing your Pivot as the key to unlocking otherwise latent potential (i.e., potential revenue opportunity)EXPERIMENTATION: The action that follows point 2 is Experimentation - the cause that begets effect...this is subjecting latent potential or unrealized potential to real world conditions… The balancing factors for Experimentation are (1) recognizing that a “new normal” is a fiction...a security blanket of belief that never covers your entire body; and (2) that risk and reward share an inextricably codependent relationship…No New Normal: Don’t get sucked into the notion of “new normal” because you cannot allow yourself to cozy up to regularity - good or bad. This extremely stressful COVID condition has forced us to feel discomfort - and it’s the gnaw of discomfort that we have to draw inspiration from…Risk & Reward: This condition pushes us into an exploratory mentality that’s more creative and more excitable than our more comfortable self - inviting experimentation into our workflow - and opening ourselves to the joys of new discovery. Risking failure (at all levels) is paramount to reaping the benefits of success… So it’s important to determine what you’re 100% willing to risk (i.e., possibly lose) in order to gain something otherwise unattainable...Without oversimplifying too much, we can’t truly be good students of our crafts without staying uncomfortable - and inviting risk into our lives…MENTALITY: Adopt a Mentality that can survive your new Resilience - this is what professional sports coaches teach the greatest amateur talents...making success a practice, not a result. You cannot truly be Resilient if you see it only as an end state and not infuse it into the essence of who you are…EQ: The two-parter here starts with EQ - which sounds super pretentious. But since there’s a ton of great info out there from reputable medical and psychological sources, I’ll just say that this means digging our heels into the soil of our humanity...the primordial grit we have as evolved animals whose instincts are somewhat atrophic, but not gone. Patience, focus and desire for fulfillment…Break-even mindset: The second part of this mentality is a break-even mindset...which doesn’t sound pretentious, but may sound somewhat lame. What it means is that in our world of quarterly profit making and double-digit annual growth...we recognize that if we can just break even - make and spend in value-oriented flatness, we’ve not lost. We’ve maintained. We’ve survived. As Elizabeth Warren epitomized...we’ve persisted.PROOF: Finally, we must convince ourselves that we are in fact achieving resilience - otherwise we never get there. We have to Leverage Proof...for ourselves and for those who we depend upon for support and encouragement. And Leveraging proof has its own duality of decision making… Proof is an outcome. And an outcome can be analyzed and SHOULD be used as a gauge of progress to determine readiness.Stay the course - we’ve demonstrated resilience, we’ve effectively reset our practice, achieved our new goals and have begun to see the fruits of our labor - however small, subtle or dubious… Keep going!Alter the course - as evidence of decline, adverse or harmful outcomes, or even just concerning irregularities...make changes to the approach, to the team, to the organizational structure...or otherwise… Go back to point #2...Is it too convenient then to come back to Point 1 - and as proof points accumulate, the very definition of Resilience - preparatory practices - and proportions of ingenuity can be scrutinized with greater clarity and focus… I’ve charted these 5 points out for myself. If they seem glib, then perhaps the meaning isn’t clear - maybe oversimplified for this conversation. But these 5 points have emerged from our efforts R Original Syndicate over months of hard work... And now they have become part of our machinery, if that makes sense… Hopefully a positive part of your machinery, too... I see evidence that the world has permanently changed this year...and we have only just begun to glimpse at the massive challenges we will be facing for decades to come. So, is Resilience a convenient word at the moment. Yes, likely. But like all other words, it’s meaningless until it isn’t. And that’s up to each one of us to find meaning or not… And I hope it does. And I hope your listeners are already there - and are seeing the silver lining in this dismal cloud in their own ways. As we continue to stare into the inevitably of adversity, we should have a smile on our faces because we have a plan. A tough, thoughtful, flexible plan that’s at the ready. 

This podcast is specifically for leaders intent on guiding their organizations through adversity. It is for leaders who don't just want to survive storms, but to thrive post-adversity.

Something’s not working at work. Record-high stress and rock-bottom engagement show that pretty clearly. Across the board, workers are burnt out, disconnected and struggling to maintain work-life balance. Fortunately for employees, organizations and chief learning officers alike, there’s something that can be done. A culture of resilience is “a form of psychological immunity” and key to bouncing back from the inevitable effects of adversity, says Tim Mulligan, chief human resources officer at Seattle-based Vulcan, the umbrella company for a number of investments and projects created by late Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen. “It's our role as leaders in the business world to create an environment that is realigning conditions in a way that people are able to balance the stress level, be productive, to leave work every day knowing you got a lot of stuff done and to look forward to coming back to work the next day,” Tim said. In this episode of the Chief Learning Officer Podcast, we talk to Tim about Vulcan, the lessons he learned from twelve years at the San Diego Zoo as documented in his book “Roar: How to Build a Resilient Organization the World Famous San Diego Zoo Way” and how other companies can build a toolkit for resiliency.  Plus, co-hosts Mike Prokopeak and Ashley St. John talk with Tim about what a resilient leader looks like, why branding is so important in learning and development work and how simple, catchy phrases can be the difference between a good program and a great one.
