From Sydney Environment Institute - Stories are the ToolkitEpisode 1: Coordinating the BoatsFlood-affected communities do not remain idle when the need is urgent. This vignette covers one way in which community members organised a system of tracking and coordinating boat rescues to save lives and to minimise the substantial risk taken by those on the water.New South Wales communities have faced devastating bushfires and floods, intensified by climate change. In response, communities have mobilised, organising crucial response and recovery efforts that have saved lives, provided support, and built long-term resilience. Storytelling is an invaluable tool in risk reduction planning, serving as a powerful means of conveying complex information, fostering community engagement, and preserving cultural heritage. These narratives often highlight local knowledges, which are crucial for understanding and addressing unique risks and challenges faced by specific regions.

These are the words from Bangladeshi artists in the ELECTRIC BANGLADESH exhibition in Boston Bangladeshi Artists Paint A True Picture of GE's Greenwash by Market ForcesGuests: Munira Chowdhury from Market Forces visited the place where a new gas project is proposed by GE. In Chattorgam alone these projects would double the emissions of the whole of Bangladesh. GE , which has signed up to the NetZero2050 pledge and is also one of the world's biggest wind turbine manufacturers needs to get behind the Electrify Bangladesh banner.

They are on no register and they can infuence politicians as no ordinary citizens can. Senator Ryan proposed urgent reforms to this as well as to the rotating door between industry and parliament which is also a security risk.Dr Monique Ryan MP 7.8.23 Simon Walker's interview with Professor Susanne Ditlevson on the AMOCProfessor Susanne Ditlevsen is a professor in the department of Mathematical Sciences in the University of Copenhagen. Their latest study, along with Prof. Peter Ditlevsen of the University of Copenhagen, warns of the fragility of the (AMOC) Atlantic meridional overturning circulation - a system of currents that circulates water within the Atlantic ocean, bringing warm water north and cold water south. It is an important component of Earth's climate system Their findings suggest that the AMOC could collapse within this century, earlier than reports made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and would be a tipping point for disastrous effects on weather patterns, ecosystems, and food security. Music: In Love With This Place // Jess Ribeiro – The Environmental Music Prize I'm in love with this place, if I could show you your heart would change.WHY I WROTE THIS SONGBummed out by the current state of the world I sat by the water and imagined politicians “doing time” in nature. Imagine if no decisions could be made until you had spent time consulting with the natural world. I feel like the people in charge of our planet are disconnected. If they entered deeply into a sincere relationship with nature, they would start making thoughtful and lasting choices.
Is the time right for change and "to be bold and think big, and challenge the way we think about tertiary education" in Australia? In this episode, we explore potential reforms to universities, their missions, and structures, while considering the role of VET. One perspective suggests establishing two types of universities: one focused on practical, hands-on learning for professional skills, and the other dedicated to research and comprehensive education. Tom Karmel argues that higher education is more than just theoretical knowledge—it's inherently vocational, preparing students for their chosen professions. He sees a lot of what the VET sector is teaching is generic skills which can be transferred to a wider range of jobs. Tom proposes the idea of a "professional university" that offers qualifications from certificates to degrees, focusing on practical education and strong connections to the job market. Jenny Dodd agrees with many of Tom's ideas for creating a more integrated tertiary education system but raises concerns about the term "professional university." Simon Walker supports the need for an integrated model that allows students to build on their learning across various qualifications. He sees potential benefits in such a system, particularly in promoting equity and supporting disadvantaged students.

Derrick O'Keefe in Vancouver thinks we need to be far more ambitious. Instead of wanting to protect our children and grandchildren we need to believe in a future which is safe for at least the next seven generations. He wants to see writers and creative people put their minds to the future we can work towards. Some of the ideas we discuss are from The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Show NotesToday's programme takes us to a quiet Meditation Sit In to cut through the shouting around NAB who have increased their funding of the Fossil Fuel Industry!...... Its all through loopholes apparently.Imagine talking to the CEO. The police have been called but do they know who these people are? Dear Ross Mc Ewan,Thank you for coming down. These people here are praying and meditating in order to connect with you or the public or with something larger than all of us. You might like to know who they are.If you are stricken with a heart attack and rushed to the ED, one of these quiet people has spent his life being the calm knowledgeable centre of emergencies. He will know what to do.If there are racial tensions in your workforce and those workers are vital to you, one of these people is the head of a multi ethnic community group, and he will know what to do. There are skills involved and they start here with quiet meditation.If someone in your family is deeply unhappy and you have tried everything, one of these people has spent her life counselling, and she will know what to do.If you need an architect to renovate your house for energy efficiency and future proofing, she is sitting right here, and she will know what to do.In your world of high finance you also know what to do to keep capital flowing. But there is a bigger context than the economy for you to consider and I invite you to sit with us in this quiet place we have created. You are among people whose lives have been dedicated to the greater good. We are all depending on you to know what to do. BANKING CLIMATE FAILUREThe banners directed at the bank are simple : STOP FUNDING COAL, but in the Sydney HQ of the NAB Bank the calculations must be complex. Their policy is to reduce their exposure to coal yet they have financed the coal industry with $3.3billion since the Paris Climate Ageement. How much PR can cover that up? The new Market Forces report Banking Climate Failure explains the loopholes. Banking Climate Failure 2023 - Market Forces"The big four banks have committed to not providing direct finance for new thermal coalprojects, and all except ANZ have restrictions on project finance for new oil and gas fields,although these are opaque and littered with caveats.Yet none of the banks rule out financing the companies that are developing these new fossilfuel supply projects and are therefore continuing to fund this activity. It's alsoworth noting that none of the banks exclude finance to new fossil fuel transport orprocessing infrastructure, such as LNG terminals, despite these projects being out of line withglobal climate goals." Later in the month a bigger coalition from MOVE BEYOND COAL blocked the entrances of the HQ with signs saying STOP NAB WORKING WHILE NAB WORKS FOR COAL.You can take action: 1.

Making sure the VET sector serves regional, rural and remote Australia remains an ongoing policy priority. In this episode, we talk about the challenges that RTOs face when delivering training in regional Australia. What are the barriers and how are they being addressed? We also consider whether local training providers should be given more flexibility to tailor their programs to meet the specific needs of the communities they serve. Steve Davis interviews Joanne Payne, Managing Director, Central Regional TAFE in WA, Tabatha Griffin, Senior Research Officer, NCVER and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER about these challenges and the need for diverse and flexible training approaches to better meet the needs of people in regional areas. The discussion draws from VET delivery in regional, rural and remote Australia: barriers and facilitators, published by NCVER on 24 April 2023.

Aside from the health and economic impacts, the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected Australia's VET sector. The full scale of these effects, however, has just started to emerge. In what ways did the first waves of the pandemic affect the VET workforce – including trainers, resource developers and administrative staff? What changes and innovations happened? More importantly, what were the impacts on students and their practical learning, particularly those in industries with a high skills shortage? Steve Davis talks to Jenny Dodd, Chief Executive Officer, TAFE Directors Australia, Brian Rungie, Chief Exective Officer, PEER and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER about the varying impacts of the pandemic, as well as the COVID-19 related opportunities and challenges being faced by Australia's VET sector. The discussion partially draws from NCVER research in progress which will be published in early-mid 2023.

We humans dont enjoy talking about suicidal thoughts (specially men who are the population with the highest suicidal rate). The most awkward thing is that if don't talk about it - it becomes worst for people struggling in silence and shame. About Chris Haill My guest is Chris Haill founder of MindForce - a couple of years ago, he was running his own company, developing new business in media and publishing. I remember clearly the day I met Chris in February 2020 - some days before a life changing event had occurred to him. This was also an important moment for me to reflect on this brief conversation that had a long lasting impact on me… after a long battle of depression, Chris became a suicide survivor.

Why is it a shame to talk about suicide still today? The series 13 reasons why was speaking about suicide in teens - according to the producers the aim was to create awareness but many reacted negatively - what is the right way to create awareness? Suicide rate in men is higher than in women - I got the impression that we men have a hard time to open up about their struggles… is that true? How can we provide peer support: a friend of somebody in our family with symptoms of suicidal thoughts If you had a magic wand - how would you impact the numbers of people dying of suicide?

Former New Zealand journalist Simon Walker worked as the Queen's communications secretary for the Golden Jubilee when she celebrated 50 years on the throne. He was heading to an evening function when he heard the news and told Lisa Owen it was the end of an era.
Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. "The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." Former New Zealand television journalist Simon Walker, who was communications secretary to the Queen for three years, told Morning Report weeks of sadness can be expected across the UK and Commonwealth. "Liz Truss the new Prime Minister just described the Queen as the rock on which modern Britain was built, and I think there's quite a lot of truth in that. "If you think back to 1952 when she became Queen, so much has happened over that period, in this country and of course, so much in the Commonwealth and around the world, and she's been the one point of continuity throughout that period. "Britain's had 15 Prime Ministers, the United States has had 16 presidents over that period, and the one kind of constant figure has been the Queen."

We're joined by Simon Walker, Director of programme development at University College London, to discuss how they have moved to digital assessment by default. Simon starts by talking through the challenges they have been facing with assessment, including how they had previously recognised that it was out of kilter with the student's expectations for a modern education system. The pandemic enabled them to take a bold step toward adapting their practices, adopting an end-to-end digital assessment platform. We then discuss how they have supported staff with their assessment and feedback practices, adopting a team of digital assessment advisers who help onboard faculties and share best practices.
Both vocational education and training (VET) and higher education (HE) offer the skills, knowledge and qualifications needed to equip students to progress their career and lifelong learning. But given the difficulty and huge costs associated in integrating VET and HE, how do we harness the best of both sectors and maximise their benefits to students, employers and industry? Megan Lilly, Executive Director of Ai Group's Centre for Education & Training and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER talk to Steve Davis about why greater connectedness and fluidity between the sectors might be better than integration. The discussion draws from The best of both worlds? Integrating VET and higher education, published by NCVER on 25 November 2021.
Some Jerks: Live at The Bearded Lady, West End, 3 October 2021 Some Jerks are a Brisbane trio formed in 2010, and have previously been heard on Live Delay in episodes 196 and 249. With Victoria Watson on vocals and bass, Will O'Brien on guitar and Simon Walker on drums, the band released a self-titled EP in 2011, followed by the albums "Buddy Rich Made Me Cry" in 2012 and "Strange Ways" in 2016. After recording third album "Summertime Funtime", Will O'Brien moved to the United States to pursue work opportunities and was replaced by Brent Wilson from the bands BMX-RAY and Cutting Teeth. By the time the album was launched, however, O'Brien had moved back to Australia and was able to join the band on second guitar in the latter half of this set you're about to hear.

Participation in higher education by school leavers has increased significantly in the last decade. VET participation has lagged by comparison. Are students headed for university accorded higher status at school than those who prefer to pursue a trade apprenticeship or traineeship? While the general outcomes for students who participate in VET in Schools is good, choosing the right VET course or VET pathway is critical, as some pathways are undoubtedly better than others in terms of employment outcomes. Professor Peter Shergold AC, who chaired a major review for Commonwealth, State and Territory Ministers of Education on senior secondary school pathways (Looking to the Future), and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER talk to Steve Davis about whether people are overestimating the impact of ATAR on a student's future career prospects, and the proliferation of pathways that can be followed to find a future career. The discussion draws from VET for secondary school students: insights and outcomes, published by NCVER on 14 October 2021.
Si Walker, self-described moany bastard and born comedian, is both an excellent podcast guest and host! He is the creator of The SeaBin Podcast - one of my favourite comedy punk rock listens. He also plays in FOUR bands: Rash Decision, Monolithian, Helpless and Swansong. Clearly, he's a key component of the Cornish punk rock community. We balanced the conversation by having some deep chats and talking about poo and pants. You can look forward to a philosophical conversation about the meaning of punk, the importance of not following society's stereotypes, and the impending plane crash of balancing four bands. You can also learn what a festival lava lamp is, and what to do if you run out of loo roll in a disgusting bathroom. Rash Decision have just released a new album called 'Year of The Silence'. At the end of the podcast, you'll hear 'The Pain The Alters', taken from the album: rashdecision.bandcamp.com Monolithian are playing Manchester Punk Fest and Dreadfest: monolithiandoom.bandcamp.com Helpless will shortly be releasing a new album called Caged In Cold on Church Road Records: helplessnoise.bandcamp.com You can (and should) go listen to The SeaBin podcast on any podcast platform.

Simon Walker is a media entrepreneur, and founder of Marquee TV, a streaming platform which brings live performances to a global audience and was recently described by The Financial Times as ‘Netflix for the arts'. In a career spanning senior management roles at the BBC, EMAP and EMI Music, Simon has been at the heart of the entertainment industry's transformation to digital for nearly three decades. In this in-depth interview, Simon shares how Marquee TV “provided a lifeline” to arts organisations during lockdown, giving them a platform to stream dance, theatre and opera - and generating much-needed survival revenue; explains how they cater for “an underserved audience” and why niche platforms work alongside - not against - the streaming giants; and proudly shares the success of Countryline, his new venture serving country music fans - which is set to launch its new weekly TV show broadcasting live from Nashville, and has just secured investment from Sir Elton John.

After Sunday's attack in Liverpool, journalists are questioning the right way to report responsibly on these types of incident. When should the words "terror attack" be used on a front page? And is it morally wrong to "door-step" victims and members of the public caught up in an attack? Also in the programme, Sky in the UK have launched a new streaming service, Peacock, in the week that Netflix says it will double its studio space in the UK. Can the traditional TV giants claw back an audience from the likes of Netflix and Disney?

In today's episode, I talk to Tim Smeaton and Simon Walker, Managing Partners of Kubrick Group, the award-winning data, AI, and cloud consultancy, which exists to solve the digital skills emergency, by building a diverse workforce designed to help organisations evolve and embrace next-generation technology. If you're a regular listener you may remember that Tim and Simon first appeared on the show in episode 16, almost 3 years ago. Since then, Kubrick has grown dramatically. Going from C. 100 consultants when we last spoke to over 600 today. On the way they've built out multiple new offerings and won a whole host of awards in recognition of their growth, their commitment to D&I and the service they provide to their clients. Having watched their journey over the last three years, I was keen to get Tim and Simon back on the show, to share the secrets behind this phenomenal growth. In today's conversation we dive into a whole range of topics that will help you grow your consulting firm, including: - How Kubrick Group has been able to scale so quickly in such a short amount of time, and the secrets that have helped them achieve that success. - The unique approach they've taken to identifying what their clients really need, what they should be selling to them and when the time is right to launch a new practice area. - And how Tim and Simon's approach to leadership has had to evolve as the business has grown. It was great to speak with Tim and Simon again. This conversation was as fun as it was insightful and I know you're going to enjoy it. We laughed a lot and they shared so much great advice along the way. If you're looking to learn how you can grow your own consulting business or practice area, or want to know how to approach building out your new offering, you're going to get a ton from this one.

Short-course training, often referred to as 'micro-credentials', is seen as an increasingly important form of training, particularly as governments respond to the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Steve Davis talks to Bryan Palmer, Private Consultant and author of An analysis of micro-credentials in VET, and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER about the different interpretations and definitions of a micro-credential, why so many students pursue enrolments in subjects not part of a nationally recognised program, and why a majority of activity in this space is privately funded. The discussion largely draws from An analysis of micro-credentials in VET, published by NCVER on 3 June 2021.
Youth unemployment post-COVID is an all-hands-on-deck challenge. For young people who have lost work or have been looking for work, post-COVID recovery is going to be a fraught time if Australia doesn't take a well-structured pathway to recovery. Join Steve Davis as he talks to Kira Clarke, Senior Research Fellow at the Brotherhood of St Laurence, Jo Waugh, Senior Research Officer, NCVER and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER about the role the VET sector can and should play in the process. They discuss why vocational pathways in schools, work-based training, and career guidance are critical to youth employability, especially for disadvantaged people. The discussion refers to research What VET can offer to COVID-19 youth unemployment recovery, published by NCVER on 13 May 2021.
Sermon by Simon Walker on 02/04/2021 Good Friday. Matthew27:27-46
Should we be concerned about the quality of VET teaching? Recent research suggests there are key issues affecting the quality of VET teaching that need to be addressed. These include entry level requirements, limited career pathways, workforce casualisation, and lack of support for professional development. Steve Davis talks to NCVER Managing Director, Simon Walker, Educationalist and Researcher, Linda Simon and VET Development Centre CEO, Martin Powell about what helps build capability and quality in VET teaching.
Sermon preached by Simon Walker from Psalm 13 on 17th January 2021
Are there too many underutilised qualifications in the Australian VET system? Are some qualifications past their expiration date? One method of reducing qualifications involves grouping them into vocational clusters so individuals can train for several jobs at once. This approach also creates greater transferability of skills in the labour market. Do we have the appetite for such transformative change? Is there a role for good quality training that may sit outside the formal national training system?Steve Davis talks to Professor John Buchanan, Business School, University of Sydney, David Morgan, CEO, Artibus Innovation and Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER about the notion of ‘clustering’ qualifications into vocational streams for a range of occupations and how it could be achieved.
Young people are finding it harder and harder to get a foothold into those highly-skilled, better paying jobs that will set them up for the future.How can we increase the number of jobs available, and provide better pathways into jobs and industries that have been increasingly out of reach?Join Steve Davis as he talks to Simon Walker, NCVER Managing Director; Dr Peter Hurley, Education Policy Fellow, Mitchell Institute for Education and Health Policy at Victoria University; and Ian Curry, National Coordinator - Skills, Training & Apprenticeships at the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union (AMWU) about:The concepts of cadetships, higher apprenticeships, and work-ready skillsWhat are the merits of a national cadet program for those jobs more often associated with diploma or bachelor degree qualifications? Will it lead to better employment outcomes for young people?Do employers expect too much of new recruits in terms of skill sets?Do we focus too much on training for the skills employers want, rather than creating more broadly-skilled people?
Do we value tertiary and vocational education equally? Have apprenticeships lost their sense of purpose?With recent budget announcements and the need to build a skilled workforce to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing economy, apprenticeships are in the spotlight. Steve Davis talks to NCVER Managing Director, Simon Walker and Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union (AMWU) National Coordinator – Skills, Training & Apprenticeships, Ian Curry, about the future of traditional trades and how the perception of apprenticeships has changed over the years. Discussion focuses on regulation, flexibility, completion rates as well as the complexity around the status of VET.

Matthew 16:13-20 - Simon Walker - 11 August 2019 am
Markenbildung ist nicht nur was für adidas und Nike! Wer mit seinem Werk andere erreichen möchte, sollte sich daher unbedingt auch Gedanken über Branding machen. Im heutigen Podcast sind die Rollen klar verteilt: Laura - studierte Kommunikationsdesignerin - hat Ahnung von Branding. Melanie ist weitestgehend planlos - hat aber ganz viele Fragen! In Podcast Nummer 17 unterhalten sich Raabe & Kampf über gute und schlechte Kommunikation, über Logos und Designs, über Social-Media-Kanäle und Stil. Und Laura erklärt, wieso wir alle permanent Branding betreiben, auch wenn wir uns dessen nicht immer bewusst sind. Das Shout-out der Woche geht an Dennis Melskotte, der das Raabe-und-Kampf-Logo entworfen hat. Ihr findet ihn hier: http://www.studiomelskotte.de PS: Der texanische Designer, der Lauras Logo gemacht hat und dessen Name ihr im Podcast nicht einfällt, heißt Simon Walker. https://www.simonwalkertype.com
Sermon preached by Simon Walker from Exodus 17:8-16 on 26th May 2019
It is hard to dispute that the apprenticeships model, which combines employment with formal training in a trade, is an effective way of developing skills while still earning a wage. So why do apprenticeship numbers appear to be so dire? To find out, Steve Davis talks to NCVER Managing Director, Simon Walker and National Australian Apprenticeships Association Chief Executive Officer, Ben Bardon, who reveal that the situation is more nuanced than recent media headlines might suggest. They start by discussing the difference between apprenticeships and traineeships, which can skew the perceived decline.
How will Industry 4.0, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution as it’s also known, affect the jobs we do and how we train for them? To find out, Steve Davis talks to NCVER Managing Director, Simon Walker and AiGroup Head of Workforce Development, Megan Lilly. The challenge, they say, is to develop an agile skill base that can continually learn and grow, which means traditional education systems will also need to evolve.

Since starting the podcast I've interviewed a whole host of phenomenal leaders from the Consulting industry who've shared some of their best advice across a range of areas critical to climbing in Consulting. One question I ask almost all of my guests is their advice for those people looking to build a career in the industry. A number of you have told me how useful you've found the answers to this specific question so I wanted to put all of the answer together so that you have a compilation of career advice from the best in the business. As a recap, or for those of you who may not have listened to any of my other interviews before, the question that these guests are answering asks for one piece of advice for three different people: The first is someone who's just starting their career in Consulting - anywhere from 0 to 2 years in. The second is for someone 'in the middle' of their Consulting career - 4 - 6 years in to Consulting. The third is for someone who's approaching Partner or considering going out on their own to create their own business. There are so many great pieces of advice in this episode and some really interesting common themes and principles that have helped my guests get to the top. As Tony Robbins says "success leaves clues". Here's you're chance to find them. Guests in this episode: To save you having to hear my voice over and over I don't introduce each individual guest during this episode. If you found a certain piece of advice really useful and want to hear who said it then have a look at the list and timestamps below! 00:02:38 - Simon Dennis - Founding Partner - Gate One 00:07:25 - Stephen Newton - Founding Partner - Elixirr 00:11:57 - Suki Thompson - Founder and CEO - The OysterCatchers 00:13:46 - Olly Purnell and Sharon Rice-Oxley - Founding Partners - Q5 00:18:27 - Dom Moorhouse - Founder of Moorhouse Consulting 00:20:17 - Mohamed Mansour - Founding Partner - Baringa Partners 00:22:07 - Joanna Hall - Independent Non-Executive Director 00:30:28 - Simon Walker and Tim Smeaton - Founders - Kubrick 00:33:24 - Minesh Jobanputra - Founding Partner - Deltra Group 00:34:51 - Adrian Bettridge - Managing Partner - Baringa Partners 00:37:50 - Bronek Masojada - CEO - Hiscox
Today's guests are Tim Smeaton and Simon Walker, Co-Founders of Kubrick Group. Having built and the IPOd the global recruitment firm Hydrogen Group Simon and Tim decided they wanted to build another business and saw a huge gap in the Data Science space which led them to start Kubrick. In just 18 months they've grown Kubrick from an idea to over 100 consultants with more consulting ‘cohorts' (something we discuss in today's episode) already scheduled to start their intense 16 week training before going out to work with industry leading blue chip clients. It's worth saying that neither Tim or Simon come from a data background and their story is a great case study for how making the right decisions early on can enable your firm to become a leader in your chosen industry. Not only is their growth story hugely impressive but they've achieved it while pioneering a very different consulting model to the pyramid model prevalent in most Management Consulting businesses. Something we cover in detail in today's episode. In this interview we discuss a whole range of topics including: What led Tim and Simon to create a data science consultancy and how they tested the market before investing a huge amount of their own money in launching Kubrick. How they've managed to grow the business so rapidly in the highly competitive consulting market. How they were able to create a consulting firm in an industry that they knew very little about and the steps they took to build industry leading expertise at Kubrick. Their approach to business planning and their monthly planning process that ensures the firm continues to grow rapidly. Their unique consulting business model and the benefits and challenges they've found as a result of it. Their advice to those looking to set up their own business in consulting or outside of it. And much much more!
