It is a bird? Is it a plane? Well, yes, it is a plane, but it's also something much more.We all know that airlines fly passengers and freight around the country and the world. But they're also like banks, and data collecting businesses. And that's because of the growing importance of their frequent flyer programs. Though you no longer need to fly to gain points. As customers we're not sure what these points are worth. But to the airlines, loyalty programs are so lucrative that they are a core part of their business.Guests:Katharine Kemp, Associate Professor at UNSW Law and JusticeDaniel Sciberras, Editor in Chief at Point HacksGanesh Sitaraman, Professor of Law at Vanderbilt University and author of Why flying is miserable and how to fix it, published by Columbia Global Reports Leona Tam, Professor at UTS Business School.This program is repeated from March, 2024

Catherine King, Chief Strategy Officer at Leo Burnett, Professor Carl Rhodes, Dean of UTS Business School and author of Woke Capitalism, and purpose lead Marketer extraordinaire Adam Ballesty discuss the finds from the latest round of the Good Study. ‘The Good Study 2024', by Leo Burnett Australia, in partnership with UTS Business School and Zenith Australia, found that while Australians overwhelmingly agree it's important for brands to do some form of good in the world (96% up 8% from 2022), only 39% believe they should take a position on social and political issues. We hear and read a lot these days about the importance of brands and businesses doing good, as ESG continues to climb the corporate ladder and the UN Sustainable Development Goals see government and business integrate these into society. But what impact does doing good have on business? And what is the impact on consumers and customers?

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #228 Broadcast date: 9 April 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guest: Dr Stephen Morse, ESG Strategist & Founder Unchained & Serena Stewart Head of Strategic Partnerships, Business/Law School at UTS If you asked a small business owner if they had processes which showed consideration, fairness and equality when hiring new staff, that they were making considerable effort to reduce their impact on the environment and be more sustainable, and had all their paperwork up to date with ASIC; the vast majority would say yes, they were working on all of that or had it nailed. But if you said to the same small business person: Are you meeting your ESG reporting requirements they would probably look at you quick blankly and ask what that stands for. Yet another reporting requirement, is what it stands for. Something small businesses are not ready for, is what it stands for. But what it IS, is the reality coming down the pipeline. Yet many small businesses owners are unaware of the impact of ESG reporting requirements, what and when they need to take action and how it will change their business significantly if they're not ready. Luckily, we've got Dr Stephen Morse on the Small Biz Matters again. You'll remember him from a few years ago when he came onto our radio show to talk about another set of requirements : Anti-Slavery reporting requirements. He's joining us once again to support small businesses to understand what they need to do and where to get help. Plus, Serena Stewart from UTS will be jumping in to tell us all about the ESG survey they are developing and they're asking for your help to make policy better! PEOPLE – Tell us about your journey and how you became so passionate about helping small businesses to navigate regulation like ESG and anti-slavery requirements. What sort of small business people are the most vulnerable if they don't start planning out how ESG will affect their business? Are you concerned that small businesses will be left with another overly-onerous reporting regime they don't understand? What is working elsewhere in the world? POLICY - Is the solution for ESG additional regulation really just reg-tech or do you think the Government needs to consider small businesses at the co-design phase? Which is more efficient: Should we be designing ESG reporting methods around different segments of small businesses or allow big business to dictate what they need to see from their supply chain PURPOSE - What exactly is ESG and why do small business people need to be aware of it and starting to plan NOW for the changes coming? Where is a good place to start? Will it be mandatory? How can we make it as easy as possible for small businesses to report and what do you think the Government needs to do now in its policy settings to support the transition? Dr Stephen Morse is CEO of Unchained Solutions Pty Ltd, a Sydney-based facilitation and advisory firm that enables organisations to make a meaningful contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and improve their ESG reporting and CSR commitments. Unchained's solutions are designed to help local and global teams to thrive.

In this conversation we'll discuss what Rhodes sees as the limits of "woke capitalism" in combating inequity. We discuss a number of issues in relation to this as well as talking about stakeholder capitalism, the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab, getting woke to woke capitalism, the origins of the term woke, and much, much more.

With inflation, interest rates and the cost of living set to be a continuing challenge - what options are available to governments to help address these issues long term? Has the global playing field that budget forecasts are based on changed? And how can reform take place when big economic policy announcements seem too politically dangerous for either party?Guests: David Bond: Senior Lecturer at the UTS Business School & Cameron Curko - Head of Macroeconomics and Strategy at Pitcher Partners Accountants.
Most media outlets talk about Russian sanctions in reference to their effect on an economy... But what about their impact on people? Does forcing a recession on a nation of mostly innocent civilians require a deeper level of ethical enquiry?

In the past few years, businesses have begun signalling their support for traditionally progressive ideas like marriage equality and environmental sustainability. This has been called woke capitalism, where multinational corporations enter the public sphere by taking and amplifying political positions. Corporations talk a good game on social credibility, but can we rely on them when the going gets tough? Or are they just following public sentiment to profit? And how does this newfound corporate morality impact on liberal democracies?Guest:Carl Rhodes, Professor of Organisation Studies and Dean of the UTS Business School and author of Woke Capitalism: How Corporate Morality is Sabotaging Democracy
After a slow start, Australia is surging ahead in vaccine uptake. The number of Australians who are unsure whether they'll get the jab has plunged from heights in May of 29% down to around 9%. As NSW and Victoria get closer to restarting their economies, vaccine saturation is going to be critical to reaching herd immunity whilst limiting the number of people who will get a serious infection. So how do we identify and break through those final barriers of vaccine hesitancy to keep people safe while reopening Australia? Is FOMO going to be enough to convince free riders to get off the sidelines and get vaxxed?Guests:Leonora Risse, economist and senior lecturer at RMIT UniversityOfer Mintz, associate head of the marketing department at UTS Business SchoolPaul Burke, deputy director of the Centre for Business Intelligence and Data Analytics at UTS Business School

How do you exercise stewardship, focusing on how to leave something in a better shape than you found it? What ways can the investments in the major capital projects be better thought through and better implemented? What are the global megatrends affecting society, organizations, and communities in the longer term? Technology and transformational change. Shift in geographical dynamics and values dynamics. How can the organization address the challenges by looking at the root cause? How do we know as a board that our operating model is fit for purpose?

Well, the financial year has come and gone, and you may have received emails or phone calls or postage from any number of charities calling for tax-deductible donations. The not-for-profit sector makes up 11% of the economy, employing around 1.4 million Australians.Indeed, a glimpse at the sector in 2019 paints a rosy picture of a broad industry made of large businesses and smaller volunteer outfits, a sector growing in donations, assets and government support. But this was before the pandemic where operations were shuttered and volunteers were sent home while at the same time, demand for services increased.To discuss a sector under pressure, I was joined earlier by Dr Bronwen Dalton, Head of the Department of Management at the UTS Business School and co-ordinator of the Masters of Not-for Profit and Social Enterprise Management and Tim Costello, Chair of the Community Council for Australia.
More and more, companies are investing based around the buzzword of ESG.That stands for Environmental, Social, Governance, which broadly describes the non-financial factors that are increasingly important to investors. These can include incorporating gender diversity in a company board, to not supporting carbon emitting investments or other such ethical commitments.As the European Union and the United States take steps to regulate the ESG investing industry, the question is whether Australia can match up in a socially conscious manner.Cassandra Williams, Certification and Ratings Manager at the Responsible Investment Association Australiasia and Danielle Logue, Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Business and Sustainable Development at the UTS Business School joined me to discuss this further.
They say confidence is key to many things in life, but when a pandemic brings a city to a lurching halt, how does it bounce back?

Dr. John Gattorna, stands at the forefront of supply chain ‘thought leadership’ in the world today, and his work has influenced many of today’s leading multi-national corporations. He has made it his passion in life to stay at the cutting edge of supply chain design, and his last three books are testament to that, the most recent being Dynamic Supply Chains; how to design, build and manage people-centric value networks, 3rdedn., FT Prentice Hall, Harlow, 2015. His advanced methodologies offer a way of dealing with the ‘new normal’ operating environment, characterized by volatility, and yet more volatility, with no respite in sight. John’s work has taken on a ‘whole-of-enterprise’ feel and scope, because he steadfastly believes that you can only transform enterprise supply chains if you transform the entire enterprise, hence his multi-disciplinary approach to supply chain design, from ‘outside-in’, using ‘design thinking’ principles. Apart for researching, consulting, and teaching, John likes to share his best thinking with peers and business associates around the world, and for this reason he organises summits every two or three years – bringing the very best supply chain academics, practitioners, and business executives together for a talk-fest lasting two days, on a strictly ‘by-invitation-only’ basis. John officially launched his latest book Dynamic Supply Chains (2015) at the last global SC ‘thought leadership’ Summit, Athens, Sept’15, and both e-book and hard copy versions are now available. See the ‘Book Launch’ tab of the Summit website www.2015gscs.com for more details about the contents. John is Executive Chairman of Gattorna Alignment, a Sydney-based Firm specialising in supply chain ‘thought leadership’, and Adjunct Professor at UTS Business School, Sydney, Australia. John welcomes your comments, and can be contacted on his personal email address: john@gattornaalignment.com He is now one of the most respected supply chain ‘thought leaders’ in the world.

This started to change beginning with netball, basketball and rugby and now Australian rules football (AFLW).The meteoric rise of the AFLW, it's become clear that the time has finally come for women’s professional sport.

Speakers Dr Tim Rayner and Diana Renner Type Live Conversation About this conversation As leaders, we are rewarded for our knowledge and expertise. However, our knowledge may also limit our perspective. In new, unfamiliar and uncertain situations, what we know can restrict our ability to think differently and see problems in a fresh light. The more we harness received knowledge, the less we learn about the situation, and the narrower our point of view becomes. In these volatile and uncertain times, it is vital that leaders learn to see problems in the broadest possible light. Leaders need to cultivate a new relationship to uncertainty – one that is attentive, authentic, and generative; that involves letting go of knowing and control; and contributes to their ability to see the broader system. Instead of rushing to close down the experience of uncertainty, leaders must learn to sustain the experience and turn uncertainty into an experience of raw possibility. The art of focus in uncertainty is about zooming in and zooming out. More About The Speakers Dr Tim Rayner Dr Tim Rayner is the Director of Education and Culture at The Merrier. He is an internationally-recognised philosopher and action educator with over 10 years experience working in social entrepreneurship and leadership development. Tim’s recent book, Hacker Culture and the New Rules of Innovation, explores the impact of software hacking and startup culture on 21st century business innovation. He teaches ‘Leadership, Teams and Scalability’ in the MBA (Entrepreneurship) Program at UTS Business School. Diana Renner Diana Renner is an organisational consultant, teacher and award-winning author. As the director and co-founder of the Uncharted Leadership Institute and the creator of Not Knowing and Not Doing Labs, Diana helps individuals and organisations develop new skills to navigate uncertainty and make progress on complex challenges. Diana is the co-author of Not Knowing: the art of turning uncertainty into possibility, awarded 2015 Management Book of the Year in the U.K. and translated in 10 languages, and Not Doing: the art of effortless action, published in 2018. Conversation Notes - Uncertainty has a lot to do with the culture surrounding expertise and leadership within our society. - As humans, we’re naturally wired to want to know and experience everything. - Emotions are not simply our responses to the world, emotions are the response to the way our body cognitively responds to the world. - Our brain loves taking shortcuts, but sometimes it prevents us from looking at things with fresh eyes. So when we stop looking, we miss out. - Uncertainty is a doorway to discovery, so long as we embrace it. “Mystery is an enticement and an invitation to learning” – Dr Tim Rayner Tim's Linkedin: Tim Rayner Tim's Twitter: @timrayner01 Diana's Linkedin: Diana Renner Diana's Twitter: @notknowinglab Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Prof. Roy Green Type Live Conversation About this conversation Australia faces many challenges, not the least of which is the transition to a post-mining-boom economy. Yet old habits die hard, and governments at all levels and of all persuasions are clinging to a world we must leave behind rather than shaping the one we need to embrace. This is a world where ideas do matter, and can be translated into value for our economy and society. Are we up to the challenge? Conversation notes - How do you move to a knowledge-based economy and society? - Who will drive change? - How do young people view work? - How do societies help shape the future of work? - Social movements have to shape politicians - The future of societies will be shaped by businesses, higher education, community organisations, and public services More about Roy Roy Green is Dean of the UTS Business School at the University of Technology Sydney. His doctorate is from the University of Cambridge and he has worked in universities, business and government in Australia and overseas. Roy has published widely in the areas of innovation policy and management and undertaken projects with the OECD and European Commission.

He was last year appointed chair of the Queensland Competition Authority. Roy's Twitter: @DeanRoyGreen Quote "We have to move like any successful society in the 21st century, and become a knowledge-based society with a knowledge-based economy.

We often hear about the need to close the "digital divide" in Australia - that is, the gulf between those who are digitally included and those who are not. But when we picture the divide this way we lose sight of the myriad of cultural, economic and political issues that prevent people in Australia from participating in the digital sphere. These are problems that the NBN alone can't fix. So, it's time to re-frame the debate. This episode features two conversations that challenge our assumptions about digital access in remote Indigenous communities and among detainees at Villawood Detention Centre.

From Austria to Australia - because of my German background, I was able to pronounce Nicholas' surname correctly :-) Dr. Nicholas Gruen shares the story of his father that got him interested in It was a good start into a very entertaining conversation on economics, politics and what we can do differently to solve some of today's problems and challenges. As the CEO of Lateral Economics, Dr Nicholas Gruen is used to think differently, and that's often a good thing to get new perspectives and views. His ideas and models to address the challenge that members of parliaments are strongly influenced by party politics are fascinating to listen to. And there is more. So enjoy the conversation as much as I did. More about Dr Nicholas Gruen Nicholas Gruen is a policy economist, entrepreneur and commentator on our economy, society and innovation.

Speaker Nicholas Gruen Type Live Conversation About this conversation Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump have humiliated political elites. But we led the pack in 2013 when the elites in Australia’s Parliament humiliated themselves – abolishing carbon pricing when a predominant majority of parliamentarians understood it was folly. Why did they do it? To meet the imperatives of political combat in our vox pop democracy. Today democracy is synonymous with representation by election. But another way of representing the people enjoys far more community support and a far older lineage: Representation by sortition or selection by lot as occurs in juries. Injecting more sortition into our existing democracy could bring it back from what’s looking increasingly like the brink. Conversation notes - What's wrong with politics and why the world is sliding into the worst economic situation since the Great Depression? - The reason why we live in a VOX POP democracy - Australia’s leadership model - Why participatory and direct democracy will make things worse and not better - The origins of democracy and elections, those times when democracy was a dirty word - Citizen Juries, what are they? How do they work? - Example of citizen’s juries in the City of Melbourne, Switzerland and US and how they operate - A simple solution for our current complex democracy problem: an upper house elected by lot, a citizen’s chamber More about Nicholas Nicholas Gruen is a policy economist, entrepreneur and commentator on our economy, society and innovation.

Nicholas’ LinkedIn: Nicholas Gruen Nicholas’s Twitter: @NGruen1 Lateral Economics’ website: lateraleconomics.com.au Quote “My vision is of a citizen's chamber like the bull's eye like the Athenian bullseye. […] Think of the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the UK. Think of the House of Representatives in the Senate in the United States. Think of the Legislative Council and the start of the Legislative Assembly and the legislative council in most states of Australia which was a property franchise and you get the picture. And I simply want to flip that around to an upper house or an additional Upper House elected by a lot which would, by the way, have stopped us abolishing carbon pricing and the system”.
