Kingston, like cities across the country, is in a housing and affordability crisis that is compounded by insufficient addiction and mental health supports. These realities continue to put strain on the emergency shelter, transitional and supportive housing systems. These systems are part of the housing continuum, a conceptual framework that spans everything from emergency shelters to market housing. And to help us understand how the continuum guides supports and programs in the community, Jayne Hartley, Director of Housing and Social Services joins the podcast in the first of a series of conversations about municipal housing initiatives.  To learn more about how the City of Kingston is expanding housing options and working to improve service to people who are unhoused or precariously housed, visit our Strategic Priorities page.

Dr. Homkes explains why traditional planning methods fall short in volatile environments and advocates for a mindset shift from planning to preparing—focusing on setting directions rather than rigid destinations. She emphasizes the need for businesses to build frameworks that prioritize learning, customer feedback, and agile decision-making.The conversation includes compelling real-world examples of companies that successfully adapted under pressure, like IKEA's innovative warehouse strategy born out of necessity and a Scandinavian amusement park that achieved record growth despite pandemic restrictions. Dr. Homkes' framework for thriving under uncertainty centers on embracing preparation, implementing a forced reset when linear growth stagnates, and maintaining "aligned speed" to balance swift decision-making with strategic coherence.As geopolitical tensions, technological disruptions like AI, and global economic pressures continue to shape the retail landscape, Dr. Homkes outlines how to identify must-win battles and prioritize actions that drive sustainable growth. She also discusses how leadership dynamics and organizational structures must evolve to support this adaptive mindset.This episode is essential listening for retail leaders looking to transform volatility into opportunity and position their businesses for long-term success.

In this comprehensive presentation, Christian Weiss, Head of Investor Relations at RENK Group AG, reviews the company's financial performance for Q3 2024. The presentation highlights RENK's robust growth trajectory, operational resilience, and strategic priorities, emphasizing its leadership in delivering advanced technology solutions for various industries. Introduction to RENK Group AG RENK Group AG, a trusted partner in mobility and power transmission technologies, demonstrated significant growth in the first nine months of 2024. Despite macroeconomic challenges, the company's diversified portfolio, spanning vehicle mobility solutions (VMS), industrial and marine applications (M&I), high-performance slide bearings, and strong order backlog, underscore its resilience and continued success. Key Financial Highlights for Q3 2024 Order Backlog Total order backlog exceeded €4.8 billion, providing revenue coverage of more than 4.5x LTM revenues. Fixed order backlog grew by €34 million compared to December 2023, with frame orders remaining stable at €0.6 billion. The soft order backlog reflected strong visibility in future projects, including sole-source contracts and successor business opportunities. Revenue Growth Group revenue grew by 10.5% year-on-year in Q3 2024, driven by the VMS segment and robust aftermarket performance. The book-to-bill ratio for the first nine months remained strong at 1.1x, signalling healthy demand despite the absence of large orders in Q3. Profitability Adjusted EBIT increased by 6% year-on-year, supported by higher operating leverage, efficiency improvements, and a favourable product mix. Adjusted EBIT margin stood at 16.4%, with further improvements expected in Q4 2024. Cash Flow and Net Working Capital Free cash flow turned positive in Q3 despite higher capex linked to intangible asset acquisitions. Net working capital increased to 28.7% of LTM revenues, reflecting business growth and project ramp-ups. Measures are underway to reduce this ratio to approximately 25% by year-end. Segment Highlights Vehicle Mobility Solutions (VMS) VMS revenue grew by 45.2% year-on-year, driven by operational improvements and a rising share of aftermarket business. Margins improved significantly due to higher output, enhanced operational efficiency, and the ongoing stabilization of RENK America. Industrial and Marine (M&I) While Q3 revenue declined from the exceptionally high levels of the prior year, the segment remains on a healthy growth trajectory, with an increasing share of higher-margin military and aftermarket business. Adjusted EBIT margin remained strong at approximately 10%, supporting full-year profitability targets. Slide Bearings Revenue grew by 10.5% year-on-year, with sustained demand for e-bearings driven by the electrification trend and maritime applications. Profitability remained high, benefiting from a favourable mix of new equipment and aftermarket sales. Strategic Priorities and Growth Outlook Guidance for 2024 RENK reaffirmed its revenue target of ~€1.1 billion, representing a growth rate of 19% year-on-year. Adjusted EBIT is expected to range between €175 million and €190 million, with a medium-term target of ~€300 million driven by a CAGR of approximately 15%. Operational Focus The company is implementing measures to optimize net working capital and enhance output, particularly at VMS Augsburg. RENK America's operating model is being strengthened to achieve higher performance levels. Innovation and Market Expansion RENK is expanding its innovation pipeline with hybridization solutions and advanced mobility technologies.

A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The [6.7%] yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of [9/05/2024]. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. You should evaluate each bond before investing in a Bond Account. The bonds in your Bond Account will not be rebalanced and allocations will not be updated, except for Corporate Actions. ----- Business Breakdowns is a property of Colossus, LLC.

In this Space Café Radio - SpaceWatch.Global publisher Torsten Kriening spoke with Dr Pascal Faucher, Chairman of European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST), Defense and Security, CNES, at the Software Defined Space Conference - SDSC in Tallinn, Estonia, beginning November 2023.In the interview, Pascal outlines the strategic imperative for Europe to enhance synergies between its civil and defense sectors to ensure a competitive edge in the space industry, especially given resource limitations. There's a positive outlook on the progress made, citing early European initiatives in space situational awareness (SSA) that could lead to strategic autonomy in space within a decade, bolstered by investments from both public and private sectors. The conversation also underscores a heightened awareness due to geopolitical tensions, which has propelled investments and policy discussions around space capabilities and autonomy, suggesting a significant shift toward prioritizing space in the European defense and civil agendas, with optimistic projections for future development and autonomy.Strategic Priorities and Coordination: There is a strong emphasis on the need for strategic prioritization and coordination between civil and defense sectors in the European space industry. The goal is to maximize synergies and efficiently use limited resources to maintain a competitive edge. This includes leveraging the civil European Union space program and the European Defense Fund to support the development of commercial and military sensors, which Pascal notes as a "win-win situation."Investment and Development Pace: There is a positive outlook on the development pace of Europe's space capabilities, despite being behind the market. Pascal points out that Europe started early in building operational SSA systems and suggests that with continued investment, including from the private sector, Europe could achieve a degree of strategic autonomy in space within 5 to 10 years.Geopolitical Impact and Awareness: The conversation touches upon the increased awareness of the importance of space capabilities due to the current geopolitical situation, marked by what is referred to as the "aggression war Russia." This awareness has led to a recognition of the need for strategic and military autonomy in space, resulting in significant investments like the 125 million euros for military SSA calls through the European Defense Fund. Policy discussions and upcoming political frameworks are also geared toward enhancing space situational awareness and space traffic management, which are seen as crucial for Europe's autonomy and security in space.Space Café Radio brings you talks, interviews, and reports from the team of SpaceWatchers while out on the road.

We are so pleased to connect with Vivien Trinh and Nathan Harris of the Oregon Food Bank, where they are changing the way our sector works, by developing practices that center love!Vivien Trinh is the Community Philanthropy Associate Director of Operations at the Oregon Food Bank.

As the daughter of refugees, she is deeply committed to building inclusive communities that honor the dignity of each individual. You can reach out to Vivien at vtrinh@oregonfoodbank.org. Nathan Harris is the Director of Community Philanthropy at Oregon Food Bank. He has nearly two decades in philanthropic development, working at the intersection of love and generosity to realize transformational change. Before coming to Oregon Food Bank in 2019, Nathan served as chief development officer at Freedom for All Americans, an organization dedicated to securing nationwide LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections by 2025. He previously served as director of leadership gifts and Centennial Campaign at ACLU of Northern California and was the Director of Advancement at Transgender Law Center. You can reach Nathan at nharris@oregonfoodbank.org. References and Notes:Learn more about the Oregon Food Bank and follow them on socials: Facebook, Insta, Twitter, LinkedIn and donate here! OFB has a budget of $34M, with 200 staff, 63k annual donors, and 40k annual volunteers. OFB Community Philanthropy: Theory of Change, Strategic Priorities, Key Hallmarks of Love, Staff Bill of Rights bell hooks defines love as “the extension of one's spiritual growth  'the will to extend one's self for the the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.”Focusing on Fundraising Goals is Harmful, Let's Measure Love Instead by Vivien TrinhHow to Measure a Year. What about Love? On the OFB website“Seasons of Love” from Rent!Risk: We talked about risk and Nathan names that “risk”in changing the practices and tools of doing the work, is to be questioned. That one perspective is the fear of change or fear of something different. Vivien invites us to think about risk, as defined by who might be harmed by our practices and tools...and to center the healing of those folx. Process: Here are some of the processes and practices OFB discussed within this episode...Vivien and a few folks started an Equity in Fundraising work group within their department to casually explore community-centric ideas. They later created a “Love” working group as well.When Nathan came on 2 years ago, they began to focus their work towards building new practicesVivien mentions that unpacking “love” as a word through introspection and team conversation, was the kernel that helped them move forward in designing the “how” of measuring love. They focused on how love might inform their values and how it could change what philanthropy could mean.OFB celebrates Shiree Teng, who they partnered with in the design of the staff self-assessment. The creation of the tool was influenced by her brown paper, “ Measuring Love on the Journey for Justice. (we didn't talk about this on the pod)Performance Metrics: One tool they developed is a staff self-assessment, with the purpose of the assessment focused on reflecting on a staff person's individual  work over the past 6 month period. Their assessment asks questions like: Do I feel like my work as a relationship manager or a gift entry specialist is values-aligned with myself in this moment? Do I feel like I am making meaningful change in the world? Am I having hard conversations with donors? Am I bringing them along a political journey?In their database, OFB has the ability to code contact reports that our relationship managers have with their donors around these indicators of love.Vivien shares: “...the hope is that we're collecting this information so that we can pull it out and analyze, not like in a punitive way of like, you're not having enough hard conversations with donors, but, if you're not able to code your contact reports with these indicators, what is that telling you about where you are in your professional career at this moment? Do you feel like you're engaging in the work in a way that's meaningful to you and if not, how do we make it happen? What do you need personally, in order to grow, in your career in a way that is pulling away from that centralizing of money?” They propose is to rethink what data we capture and to encourage behavior toward financial goals and encourage behavior toward growth and self-reflection.In creating a collective definition of “love” they identified aspects of love like growth, shared values, care. They later shared that  they have a full “Love Indicators” list complete with a Bill of Rights and definitions! These include: Actions for the Common Good, Care, Client Centered, Community, Engagement, Equity, Growth, Partnership, Respect, and Shared Values.Nathan points out that they have also created other instruments to assess other aspects of love.Another tool is the donor survey, where they ask in 10-15 contexts, whether and how a donor considers their gift to be a contribution of love. “...do you consider your donation...an expression of your love for the organization, the mission? For the vision? For your neighbors?...the systemic inequity that drives hunger? ...Do you experience your supportive Oregon, Oregon food bank as an expression of love? And I think on average 60% or more of our donors agreed strongly, like, yes I do.” Vivien mentions that the donor survey allows the team to be bolder and confident in their work. Nathan mentions that they can be bolder and more strategic in their messaging to facilitate the political journey and facilitate “love” for other (in one example, the love of their surveyed community towards immigrant communities could be increased by political education.)Another practice involves prospect development/portfolio management. In this field of practice, OFB is starting to ask themselves questions around the transformational outcome of a relationship. “It doesn't have to be money. It can be a sharing of a story that helps us move, our donors through a political journey, because they have either lived experience, with hunger or with, discrimination or lived experience of systemic oppression. It could be, they have a rich network of, or they have a community that we haven't engaged with in the past that they can introduce Oregon food bank to. It provides an opportunity to recognize all the different ways that people can contribute to their community that can take action.”Nathan also talks about how they operate with equity not equality, so they are not able to “treat everyone the same.” Instead they focus on increasing the likelihood that an individual will have a love-centered and transformative experience. Transactional to transformational. They later shared that they'd like to celebrate Justice Funders and ongoing collaboration with Mario Lugay, Senior Innovation Director, and they acknowledge the Just Transition for Philanthropy (and Just Transition) framework.They mention decreasing the size of portfolios to allow staff to spend more time connecting with their donors, and paying attention to wether these relationships are being tended to with mutual care, respectful interactions and community-centrism.Nathan notes that OFB is in the silent phase of a large campaign and as such, they are prioritizing donors that can have high capacity, but within that, they are looking at and prioritizing values alignment, love, and vision.Vivien mentions cross-referencing amongst multiple (databases and platforms) places, to better understand how the community member(s) engage with Oregon Food Bank. Are they interacting in multiple ways? Have they donated, volunteered or taken a political action? Vivien mentions that when an individual is engaging on multiple platforms/ways, they are a better candidate for connection/portfolio work. Vivien and Nathan alluded to other tools they are using internally, but we did not have time to discuss in the show!Big pieces of wisdom:Vivien ”you can move quickly and you can leverage the sense of urgency that I think sometimes I shy away from that urgency is important when it is focused on justice. And in that urgency, the point is not to bring everyone along is to center people at the margins.”Nathan “the power of our people and the wisdom of the collective and the possibilities that live at the intersection of the power of our people and the wisdom of our collective. Like we have so much opportunity in this profession to do something extraordinary, transformational and very, very different than what's been done before.We're the ones in these roles keep your best practices. I'll take my better practices. They haven't been designed yet, but I believe in the wisdom of our collective to do that kind of designing. If those best practices don't seem to be working. And I don't think the limitation of that is just how we work. I think that our field can transform philanthropy by working differently than we ever have before. Like take back that power. We absolutely have it. And in doing so, I think our communities can be and will be better served.”
