Eine geschälte Orange und das Sydney Opera House – zwei Dinge, die auf den ersten Blick nichts miteinander zu tun haben. Doch genau darin steckt ein Prinzip, das heute genauso gilt, wenn Unternehmen ihre Daten- und AI-Landschaft aufbauen. In dieser Impuls-Folge erzählt Peter Bluhm die Geschichte des Architekten Jørn Utzon, der 1960 vor einem scheinbar unlösbaren statischen Problem stand – und zieht daraus die Lehre für den Aufbau von AI in Unternehmen. Darum geht es in dieser Episode: Was die Geschichte des Sydney Opera House mit dem Aufbau von AI in Unternehmen zu tun hat  Warum einzelne AI-Initiativen in Einkauf, Lager und Kundenservice oft auf eigenen „Dateninseln" laufen  Wieso Widersprüche zwischen AI-Modellen – anders als bei klassischen Reports – oft unbemerkt bleiben  Welche Testfragen zeigen, ob ein Unternehmen schon mitten in der „Phase der Verzweiflung" steckt  Warum eine gemeinsame, verbindliche Datengrundlage die Voraussetzung für jedes AI-Projekt ist  Der Performance Manager Podcast ist der führende deutschsprachige Podcast für Controlling, Data & AI und Performance Management. Er richtet sich an alle, die mit Daten besser entscheiden und ihr Unternehmen erfolgreicher steuern wollen. Regelmäßig begrüßt Peter Bluhm Führungskräfte, Experten und Persönlichkeiten, die in ihrem Fachgebiet zu den Besten zählen. Mit ihnen spricht er über Strategien, Inspirationen und Impulse für glasklare Entscheidungen und Erfolg im Business. Peter Bluhm ist Experte für Controlling und Data & AI sowie Buchautor. 2004 gründete er die ATVISIO Consult, eine Data- & AI-Beratung, die 2014, 2019 und 2025 mit dem Gütesiegel "Top Consultant – Die besten Berater des deutschen Mittelstandes" ausgezeichnet wurde.

What happens when you take a Victorian era locomotive workshop, built in 1887, and turn it into a home for contemporary sculpture? Matt Mewburn has spent the last decade finding out. Matt is a blacksmith and sculptor, and the founder of Eveleigh Works, a working forge inside one of the last remaining industrial blacksmithing workshops in the world, complete with machinery dating back to the 1850s. At 27, with no savings and a lease he couldn't afford, he took over the space anyway. What followed was a career built on physical prototyping over drawing, on letting materials push back against ideas, on making things the old way, and on the belief that nothing worth doing gets designed cleanly on paper. Blacksmithing is one of the oldest crafts in existence, and full time careers in it are rare in 2026. Matt has built one anyway, developing an international commission list and a practice that sits closer to contemporary art than traditional trade, which raises the question at the heart of this episode: what does it take to keep a craft this old relevant now? Tune in as Vince and Matt get into the discipline of working with heavy materials, the three metre tuning forks Matt made for a performance at the Sydney Opera House, what it takes to revive one of the world's oldest professions, and what it means to build a life with no long term plan at all.

Varsha Gohil's 23 year case against her ex-husband changed the law for anyone whose spouse hides their wealth in divorce proceedings. It is thought to be the one of the longest-running financial disputes in English family law. Varsha tells Anita Rani about a two-decade battle that included gaining a law degree and representing herself in court. For three decades, the singer-songwriter, Beth Orton has remained one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. She's developed a devoted audience, winning a BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations for albums such as Trailer Park and Central Reservation. She has collaborated with artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Andrew Weatherall and Nick Cave, and she's performed at venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House, Glastonbury Festival and Carnegie Hall. Her 2022 album, Weather Alive, became a major critical breakthrough. Her first self-produced album, it earned widespread acclaim, with The New York Times praising its “modal vocal phrases". Beth joins Anita to discuss her new album The Ground Above, and to perform live.DJ Smokin Jo has been a trailblazer in an industry largely dominated by men. A resident at the legendary Trade parties in London in the early 90s she was soon playing the world's biggest clubs and was the first - and still only - woman to be named DJ Magazine's DJ of the year.

Peter Hook reflects on 50 years of music, the emotional weight of performing Joy Division and New Order live, and the many memories and ghosts of his past. Tickets for Peter Hook & The Light, Australia 2026 Topics Include: New Order toured Australia as early as 1982, helped by Factory Australasia's local support. Hooky calls Australia the only place he never wants to leave — he still suffers leaving every time. Peter Hook and the Light played their seventh-ever gig in Melbourne on their first Australian tour. He is now working through every New Order and Joy Division album ever recorded live. Get Ready features songs never played live as New Order, with Steve Morris largely absent during recording. The band's Grammy came from Orgy's heavy metal cover of Blue Monday — Hook loves the weird covers most. He revealed a plan to stage a full New Order classical concert, eyeing the Sydney Opera House. Ian Curtis performed with absolute conviction every single night — something Bernard Sumner couldn't match early on. Hook recalls first seeing Ian smash up a venue at 2:30am, dancing through broken tables — terrifying and electrifying. That chaotic Stiff/Chiswick talent show led directly to Rob Gretton becoming Joy Division's manager. Ian's lyrics, Hook says, are heartbreaking up close — Love Will Tear Us Apart masks devastating words in euphoric music. Singing Ian's words himself has given Hook a profound new insight into what Curtis was actually expressing. Tony Wilson signed them with a handshake — no contracts — while other labels arrived with thick legal documents. Bernard Sumner found the Unknown Pleasures pulsar image in a textbook; nobody planned the iconic sleeve. Hooky was actually sued for bootlegging the Unknown Pleasures artwork — which Factory themselves had originally stolen. Ian Curtis reportedly wrote a letter complaining about how Closer sounded — a detail Hook only learned years later. During Closer sessions, Curtis was being torn apart: marriage collapsing, new love, epilepsy worsening, the band pushing forward. Hook deeply regrets not seeing Ian before his cremation — but a gravedigger privately told him where Curtis is actually buried. The inquest into Ian's death so disgusted the band they decided on the spot to continue as New Order. Joy Division was deliberately boxed away for 30 years; Bernard called playing those songs "miserable" and refused to continue. Bobby Gillespie suggested the album playback concept so Hook could faithfully recreate Martin Hannett's studio sound live. Watching his son learn Joy Division bass lines at the same age Hook was then felt like staring into the past. Performing these songs, Hook says he is "living surrounded by ghosts" of collaborators now gone. The K-93 sessions saw Killing Joke's Geordie Walker move into Hook's Manchester home for six weeks, causing complete chaos. Those lost K-93 tapes mysteriously surfaced after the label went bankrupt — and Jaz Coleman promptly went silent again.

Philip Jameson discusses why most organizational transformations fail despite strong strategic intent, significant investment, and broad awareness that change is necessary. Drawing on his work at Boston Consulting Group and the research behind How Change Really Works, Jameson argues that the core problem is often not strategy itself, but a poor understanding of "how humans behave during periods of change." The conversation begins with Jameson's unusual path into consulting through classical music and leadership at the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He reflects on the orchestra's temporary departure from the Sydney Opera House during its renovation and why the experience fundamentally shaped his thinking about institutional change. "It was an experience that I had had of really a change gone right," he explains, "and it made me passionate about giving the gift of great change to as many people in my life as I could." A major focus of the discussion is what Jameson calls "false alignment" — situations where leadership teams behave "as if you're more agreed than you really are." He argues that many transformations fail because executives believe they share a common vision until operational specifics expose deep disagreements. The episode also explores why leaders often avoid disagreement altogether. Citing behavioral research from Julia Minson, Jameson explains that people routinely overestimate how damaging disagreement will feel in practice. "It is much worse to imagine having a disagreement with someone than it is to actually have a disagreement with someone," he says. Another major theme is agency. Jameson draws on the "IKEA effect," the tendency for people to value outcomes they helped create themselves. In successful transformations, employees feel they have "their thumbprint on the design of the change." "Change really works," he argues, "when the people affected by that change… feel that they have contributed meaningfully to it in some way." The conversation also examines why organizations frequently underestimate barriers to adoption. Jameson outlines seven common reasons employees resist new tools, systems, or behaviors — including skill gaps, lack of time, lack of perceived benefit, and fear of losing status or value inside the organization. Rather than treating resistance as irrational, he argues leaders should approach adoption with "deep empathy" and structured thinking about human behavior. Another important thread concerns rituals and operating cadence during transformation. Jameson describes successful change efforts as highly disciplined systems with consistent decision-making rhythms, clear forums, and predictable escalation paths. "In great changes," he says, "there's a very consistent drumbeat." The episode also explores storytelling as a strategic tool during periods of uncertainty. Jameson outlines three recurring narratives used in successful transformations: the threat story, the fitness story, and the destiny story. The strongest organizations, he argues, usually commit to one clear narrative rather than mixing several competing explanations. The latter part of the discussion turns to AI and organizational adaptation. Jameson views AI transformations primarily as behavioral transformations rather than purely technical ones. "Maybe you think of it as an AI change," he says, "but really it's about human beings." Throughout the conversation, Jameson returns to one central idea: organizations rarely fail because they lack intelligence or ambition. They fail because leaders underestimate how difficult it is for groups of people to change behavior collectively and sustain that change over time. For executives, operators, and transformation leaders, the episode offers a practical framework grounded not only in strategy, but in the behavioral science of how change actually happens.

Did you know some of the world's most famous landmarks almost looked completely different? Take the Eiffel Tower—it was nearly scrapped for being an eyesore, and the original designs included a giant stone tower instead of the sleek iron structure we know today. The Sydney Opera House? Its iconic sail-like design barely made the cut; early versions looked more like a boring concrete stadium. Even the Statue of Liberty could've had a drastically different vibe—at one point, the idea of her holding a broken chain instead of a torch was on the table. These landmarks could've been unrecognizable, and it's crazy to think how close they came to being something else. So next time you see these iconic spots, remember they're famous now, but they almost weren't! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Some kids find trouble. Simon Sandall was very, very good at it. He starts on the streets of Rugby, England, where he was, by his own cheerful admission, heading nowhere fast. What pulled him back? Food. And forty-one years, a few broken noses, a life-threatening health crisis, and one extraordinary Valentine's Day later, he's the Executive Chef and Owner of Boronia Kitchen, cooking on his own terms, and loving every minute of it. In this episode, Tawnya Bahr sits down with Simon for a raw, honest, and often hilarious conversation about the realities of a career in professional kitchens. The good, the brutal, and the deeply human moments in between. Episode Overview (Ep #80) with Simon Sandall and Tawnya Bahr What We Cover in This Episode From rat bag to rising star. How walking a dog led Simon into a vegetarian restaurant kitchen at age 14, and why his Welsh TAFE teacher's blunt words ("sort your shit out or f*** off") became the making of him The brutal truth about old-school kitchen culture. Simon doesn't sugarcoat it: the kitchens of London's elite hotels were aggressive, physically dangerous, and completely normalised. How does that compare to the kitchen he runs today at Boronia? The Ritz vs. Claridge's. How a 17-year-old Simon chose between two of London's most iconic hotels (he picked the one where he felt like a person, not a number) and what that decision taught him about culture Going gold at Olympia. Competing in culinary competitions at 17, working 48-hour stretches on cold masterpieces, and what ego-driven ambition looks like when you're young and hungry The world years. From the Greek islands to Mozambique (four years out of civil war), Lake Malawi, and navigating a continent post-civil war with nothing but instinct, biltong in his backpack, and a talent for banoffee pie Landing in Australia broke and long-haired. The story of arriving in Sydney on borrowed money, being knocked back for jobs because of his appearance, and flipping steaks at the Orient Hotel at the Rocks until the right opportunity opened up 17 years with Matt Moran. What this relationship taught Simon about craft, loyalty, friendship, and farming. Why Matt is now one of his closest mates, getting him up to the farm to forage pine mushrooms and collect fresh eggs. Valentine's Day, 2018. The moment that changed everything. Simon shares with extraordinary openness how necrotising pancreatitis almost took his life, how he said goodbye to his kids from a hospital bed, and how he signed the lease on Boronia Kitchen from intensive care. Nearly nine years sober, and no regrets. The Boronia Kitchen story. A passion project built on discipline, seasonal produce, a kitchen garden harvested twice daily, and a commitment to doing things properly on his own terms The cookbook. Self-published, coffee table-worthy but built to get greasy, and packed with seasonal recipes that define Boronia's kitchen About Simon Sandall & Boronia Kitchen Simon Sandall is the Executive Chef and Owner of Boronia Kitchen in Sydney. With over four decades in the industry, including time at the Ritz London, the Sydney Opera House, and seven years on the tools at ARIA Restaurant. Simon is one of Australia's most respected chefs. He is also the author of the self-published Boronia Kitchen cookbook. After a near-fatal health crisis in 2018, Simon rebuilt his life around his restaurant, his kitchen garden, his family, and nearly nine years of sobriety.

The musical just had its UK premiere at New Wimbledon Theatre and is embarking on a UK tour.Drew is an award-winning songwriter, musical theatre composer, lyricist, playwright, and performer. He has written the scores for Night Shift (commissioned by Warner Bros.); Crazy Just Like Me (NYMF “Best of Fest” winner), and along with good friend/writing partner, Alex Brightman, Drew has written the scores for Make Me Bad (a musical psychological thriller), It's Kind of a Funny Story (based on the Ned Vizzini novel), and The Whipping Boy (based on the Sid Fleischman novel). On London's the West End, Drew's song-cycle I Could Use a Drink(based on his musical theatre concept album) was performed at the Garrick Theater, and in April 2025, his musical We Aren't Kids Anymore (starring Dylan Mulvaney, Melanie La Barrie, and Aimie Atkinson) played to sold out houses at the Savoy Theater.In 2019 Drew wrote the score for Super Bowl ad turned major publicity stunt, SKITTLES COMMERCIAL: The Broadway Musical (starring Golden Globe winner Michael C Hall) alongside book writer Will Eno. The project earned virtually every advertising award under the sun and was considered the most successful Super Bowl commercial of the year. In 2023, Drew was tapped to write the song for another major ad campaign for booking.com called Somewhere, Anywhere starring Oscar Nominee Melissa McCarthy. Drew's songs have been heard in ads for Toyota, Ford, Dreyer's Ice Cream, and more. He was also a songwriter for the cult-favorite TV series, SMASH season 2.Drew's sheet music is some of the most popular amongst theatre students around the globe thanks to the success of his albums I Could Use a Drink (released in 2013 by Broadway Records), which continues to be a mainstay in the musical theatre canon—as well as his album We Aren't Kids Anymore (released in 2020): the basis of the new musical of the same title which continues it's development in the UK.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Helen Pitt chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about The House: The dramatic story of the Sydney Opera House and the people who made it and Luna Park: The extraordinary story of the showmen, shysters and schemers who built Sydney's famous fun park. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: The catalyst for The House was hearing of the death of Sydney Opera House architect Jørn Utzon. Helen Pitt realised his tragic story deserved retelling for a new generation. Helen restored the largely forgotten story of Peter Hall, the Australian architect who completed the interiors of Sydney Opera House after Utzon's dramatic departure in 1966. Luna Park began taking shape in 2019, driven by Helen's desire to uncover the dark history lurking beneath one of Sydney's most joyful facades. The Ghost Train fire of 9 June 1979, which killed six children and one father, sits at the heart of Luna Park. Helen presents compelling evidence that the potential crime scene was bulldozed within 24 hours, making the truth perhaps permanently unknowable. Helen cites Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City as her primary model for novelistic nonfiction, employing scene-setting, dialogue and granular detail to bring history viscerally alive.

Our predictions have come true: Ed is finally releasing his second solo album, Blue Morpho! We chat about the lush lead single and the multitude of interesting interviews he's given thus far.

Plus, we discuss the Motion Picture House --the upcoming tour of the KID A MNESIA exhibition IRL-- and what people are saying about its mysterious debut at Coachella.

Seja talks to her guest Kutcha Edwards about his 60th birthday shows '60 cycles around the sun', his experiences playing on the world's biggest stages such as the Sydney Opera House and how Robert Cray inspired him to first write songs. They chat about the story of his song ‘Today', their love of Omnichords, writing through your spirit rather than your intellect, and listening with your whole being. Kutcha tells Seja about his role in burying family members, being an independent artist and intergenerational trauma.

"When I play music, I see images. When I make images, I often hear music." "Wonder is not a property of childhood but a function of attention.” -- Gavin Libotte In this episode, Antonio and Ward mark their 250th show by talking with Australian photographer Gavin Libotte, whose path back into photography took a long detour through graphic design, music, teaching, and family life before street photography pulled him in for good. Gavin talks about losing his camera gear when he was young, rediscovering image-making through the iPhone and Hipstamatic, and then finding a deeper creative groove through daily shooting, books, zines, and long-term projects. What comes through most is how photography, for him, is tied to rhythm, intuition, and being fully present in the moment, with music and visual composition feeding each other in a very personal way.  The conversation also gets into the way Gavin works: his graphic sense of color and design, his experiments with off-camera flash, his water photography, and the making of his book Symphony Number Five. Along the way, Antonio and Ward respond to the emotional pull of Gavin's pictures, especially one Sydney Opera House image that sends the discussion into ideas about wonder, timing, and why certain photographs hit so deeply. It ends up being one of those episodes that is partly about technique, partly about books and process, and partly about what photography can do for a person when it becomes a way of staying awake to the world.

In 2008, Wes Carr had the things most artists dream of - national fame, chart-topping success, and millions of eyes watching him perform on the iconic Sydney Opera House steps. What followed was a whirlwind of promotion, performing and recording sessions that strayed from Wes' authenticity as an artist. In this raw and reflective conversation, Wes opens up about success, identity, burnout, and the quiet cost of ambition. He talks about nuturing his passion for music growing up, the spiritual reckoning that followed his Australian Idol win, and why reinvention sometimes feels like survival. From changing his name and starting again in America, to returning home to Australia with his family and a new understanding of who he is without the noise, Wes is candid about where he's been and where he's going.
