Fortunately, Shaun Chamberlin, a British author and activist who was Fleming's associate, shepherded the manuscript to publication as 'Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It' and a companion volume, 'Surviving the Future.'

It’s something of a cliche to note that higher education is in need of disruption. A decade ago, Massive Open Online Courses promised to make college more affordable and accessible, yet MOOC-based degree programs don’t carry the social signal that a traditional program does. We talk about a new startup called BitDegree that isn’t trying to compete with traditional higher education, instead promising a potentially free education for aspiring programmers by partnering with companies looking to hire new talent and willing to design courses that will produce the skillsets they are looking for in that talent.But whatever needs disrupting in the classroom, everyone can agree that our student loan system is broken. Graduates enter the workforce with piles of non-dischargeable loan debt, locking them into career tracks, discouraging entrepreneurship, and undermining long term financial security for Millennials and Generation Z. We explore alternative funding models, including income share agreements like that at Purdue University.What is a MOOC? Are online classes as effective as in-person classes? Do online classes serve as a viable alternative to the 4-year college track? Are there problems associated with online education? Is there a value to the non-educational experiences on college campuses? What is a human capital contract?

Transition Towns founder Rob Hopkins describes the late historian and green economist David Fleming as "one of the most original, brilliant, urgently-needed, under-rated and ahead-of-his-time thinkers of the last 50 years." Fleming thought the globalised market economy would, in the not too distant future, begin to fail as it faces limits to growth from resource depletion, and said: "Localisation stands, at best, at the limits of practical possibility. But it has the decisive argument in its favour that there is no alternative." And his work explores how we can create rich local cultures and economies as an alternative to global capitalism.Fleming died suddenly in 2010, but his good friend, Shaun Chamberlin has recently turned a manuscript Fleming left behind, into two books: his magnum opus, Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It, and a smaller introductory text, Surviving the Future: Culture, Carnival and Capital in the Aftermath of the Market Economy.

The Psychodynamics of Museums

In episode 6 of the Work and How to Survive it podcast, Antony Froggett interviews Dr Myna Trustram about her work with museums. Myna Trustram Myna describes her work in museums and explains how she became involved in using the ideas of the Tavistock, Psychoanalysis and Group Analysis to understand the unconscious dynamics of museums. She discusses some of the ideas that she is developing, including the concept of the Museum in the Mind, to understanding our personal and societal relationship to the past. Using her experience as a museum curator and an organisational consultant she describes how the collection of objects in museums can be used to avoid confronting change or in a creative way to "work through" (a Freudian term) personal and social issues. She argues that museums play an important role within society and are important to people by their existence whether or not they choose to visit them. She ends by describing the particular challenges faced by museums in confronting change (for example, due to cuts in public funding) and links this to their task of trying to preserve objects and a wish to not lose elements of the past. Biography: Dr Myna Trustram studied history at the universities of Essex and Bristol. Her book, Women of the Regiment: Marriage and the Victorian Army was published by Cambridge University Press in 1984 and re-printed in 2008. She has worked in museums for over twenty years, holding curatorial, management and research posts in London, Southampton, Preston and Manchester. In 2008 she completed the Tavistock Clinic's MA in Organisational Consultancy and in 2009 the Institute of Group Analysis introductory course in group analysis. Her writing and research about the symbolic meaning of museums and collecting integrates these psychoanalytic, museological and historical strands. She is particularly influenced by Tavistock group relations theory, Winnicott and Bollas. She is currently an organisational consultant specialising in research and evaluation.

Introduction to Balint Groups

Antony Froggett interviews Dr Ceri Dornan about Balint Groups in episode 5 of the Work and How to Survive it podcast. Dr Ceri Dornan talks about the history of Balint Groups, describes how a Balint Group works and why they can be so enlivening and stimulating for those who get involved. She mentions the research that suggests Balint Groups can prevent "burn out" for professionals, but also explains why Balint Groups may not be for everyone. Balint Groups are named after Michael Balint (a Hungarian psychoanalyst), who together with his wife Enid, set training groups for GPs at the Tavistock Clinic in London in the 1950s. Traditionally a Balint group is a group of GPs (doctors in general practice) who meet on a regular basis with two facilitators (a psychotherapist and a GP) to explore in depth their experience of the doctor - patient relationship. They do this to become more aware of the complexities of the dynamics in their consultations and to be more effective in their engagements with patients. Since these beginnings Balint Groups have been organised for other medical specialities (such as psychiatrists in training in the UK) and also for other professional groups who work closely with clients - such as social workers, academic tutors, counsellors and even lawyers. If you would like to find out more about Balint Groups you can join one of the Balint Group weekends which take place in Oxford, Lancashire and Northumberland each year (see the weblink below).

Authenticity at work

In episode 4, Antony Froggett and Jim Davis discuss the issue of authenticity at work. What do we mean by authenticity and why is it relevant to the world of work? Most people agree that authenticity is a good thing, just like honesty, so why then is there so little emphasis on the importance of authenticity in the workplace? There is perhaps an "authenticity paradox" in which organisations wish to prescribe behaviour (and sometimes attitudes) that are seen as "good" (good for efficiency, good for profits, good for customer care) but in doing so they create interactions between workers and clients which are lifeless, disengaged and routine. Authentic engagement is often viewed as a good thing but it cannot be prescribed or monitored as easily as conventional work goals. Authenticity (and the spontaneity that it requires) is therefore anxiety provoking and disconcerting. There is the anxiety of not knowing where an authentic conversation might lead and the fear of making mistakes. Paradoxically, it is when things are most difficult (e.g. when someone wishes to make a complaint) that an authentic, non-scripted dialogue is likely to be experienced as genuinely helpful by clients.

WAHTSI podcast episode 3: In defence of inefficiency

Welcome to the Work And How To Survive It podcast brought to you by Thinking Space ConsultancyIn episode 3 we discuss the article by Tim Dartington called In Defence of Inefficiency.In this podcast we explore Dartington's arguments about the limitations of efficiency - in particular how professional judgement and leadership are potentially excluded by an emphasis on following procedures for decision-making. He argues that workers inevitably end up orientating themselves towards the procedures, and the management monitoring systems that accompany these, rather than to the actual effectiveness of their actions.He argues that those workers with a therapeutic task - whose work can only take place on the basis on establishing trusting relationships with clients - are undermined by systems of inspection that do not trust either the worker or the client. He highlights a trend which has lead to "a shift in emphasis from doing the right thing to doing things right (e.g. a shift from leadership to management and from effectiveness to efficiency". We give several examples in the podcast, both from the paper and from our consulting experience, to illustrate this argument.He asserts that we need to have apparently non-productive times - what Bion called reverie and which we call thinking space - in order to allow for the possibility of new thoughts and ideas to emerge rather than repeating one's actions according to existing routines.Related Links:Reference for the article discussed: Tim Dartington In Defence of Inefficiency Organisational & Social Dynamics 4(2) 298-310 (2004)It is possible to subscribe to the Organsiational & Social Dynamics Journal via the Karnac Books website: http://www.karnacbooks.com/JournalOPUS.aspLink to Tim Dartington's website: www.timdartington.comYou can subscribe to the Work And How to Survive It podcast via iTunes: http://bit.ly/jnoJSDWe’d like to hear your feedback about the show!
