Podcasts about Young Foundation

Greetings Glocal Citizens! As I head back to the Continent, I can't help but to train my mind on what it takes to seed and sow solutions in Africa's best interest. This week's guest has also been invested in these types of solutions for his entire career. A serial social entrepreneur, innovation consultant, service designer, learning scientist and startup coach, Femi Longe is passionate about helping individuals and organizations be and do their best to enable a better world. Born in the UK, raised in his Nigera and now based in Ireland, Femi currently works on the Financial Freedom team at the Human Rights Foundation (https://hrf.org) as Global Bitcoin Lead, driving strategy and execution of the HRF's Bitcoin Development Fund, This is a fund dedicated to growing adoption of Bitcoin and adjacent freedom technologies especially in countries under repressive regimes. Previously, he was the CEO of QALA Africa (https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/09/05/jay-z-and-jack-dorsey-funded-btrust-acquires-african-bitcoin-talent-firm-qala/) — acquired by Btrust and transformed into Btrust Builders, which is an engineering training programme helping African software developers transition to careers in Bitcoin & Lightning development. Prior to joining the Bitcoin ecosystem, Femi co-founded and remains a non-executive Director at Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) (https://cchub.africa), Africa's leading social innovation centre and tech hub. Earlier in his career, he gained experience at the UK's foremost social innovation centre, The Young Foundation, where he established the UpRising Leadership Programme. As the transitions between the Stone Age to Bronze Age, and various different human technologies delivered us to the Industrial Age and presently the Information Age, all contributing the imprint that is humanity today, I am extsatic to be a storyteller with the ability to share perspectives like these. Stories that support and inspire a borderless mindset and are indeed manifesting a new world. Where to find Femi?

Systems change, or in fact any change, in formal education systems is notoriously hard. Research and innovation across the sector has been historically weak. But as the stakes get higher for much-needed change, we have to get better at harnessing the collective intelligence of what we know, from young people to practitioners in classrooms everyday to parents and leaders. This week's guest has been working at the heart of this issue since the 1990s. Sir Geoff Mulgan is a Professor at University College London (UCL), in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Policy team (STEaPP) in the engineering department.  Before that he was Chief Executive of Nesta, the UK's innovation foundation from 2011-2019. From 1997-2004 he had roles in the UK government including director of the Government's Strategy Unit, director of the Performance and Innovation Unit and head of policy in the Prime Minister's office. From 2004-2011 he was first CEO of the Young Foundation.  Geoff has been a reporter on BBC TV and radio and was the founder/co-founder of many organisations, including Demos, Uprising, the Social Innovation Exchange, the Australia Centre for Social Innovation and Action for Happiness. He has a PhD in telecommunications and has been visiting professor at LSE and Melbourne University, and senior visiting scholar at Harvard University. Geoff has advised many governments, businesses, NGOs and foundations around the world. He is currently an adviser to the European Parliament on science and technology and a senior fellow with Demos Helsinki. He was a senior fellow at the New Institute in Hamburg (2020-2022) and a World Economic Forum Schwab Fellow (2019-22). He recently chaired a European Commission programme on ‘Whole of Government Innovation' and co-founded TIAL, The Institutional Architecture Lab.   Past books include ‘Good and Bad Power' (Penguin, 2005), ‘The Art of Public Strategy' (Oxford University Press, 2008), ‘The Locust and the Bee' (Princeton University Press, 2012), ‘Big Mind: how collective intelligence can change our world' (Princeton University Press, 2017),  ‘Social innovation: how societies find the power to change' (Policy Press, 2019), 'Prophets at a Tangent: how art shapes social imagination' (Cambridge University Press, 2023) and ‘When Science Meets Power' (Polity, 2023/24).  His books have been translated into many languages.  A summary of the books can be found here. He is a founding joint editor-in-chief of the journal Collective Intelligence (Sage/ACM). Many of the ideas Geoff has worked on have gone onto become mainstream, from creative economy strategies to social investing, open data to collective intelligence,  experimental and evidence-based government to challenge-driven innovation. Geoff has given TED talks on the future economy, happiness and education. His website is geoffmulgan.com. He has a CBE and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2020.  Social Links LinkedIn: @sir-geoff-mulgan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sir-geoff-mulgan-aa1079187/ Website: https://www.geoffmulgan.com/

On the 85th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I am delighted to introduce our guest, Jon Alexander. Jon is the author of CITIZENS: Why the Key to Fixing Everything is All of Us, a book that seeks to reframe the current moment as one of immense civic opportunity rather than merely a time of crisis and collapse.In 2014, Jon co-founded the New Citizenship Project, a strategy and innovation consultancy that aims to shift the dominant societal narrative from Consumer to Citizen. He is a Fellow of the Young Foundation, a founding member of the OECD's Innovative Citizen Participation Network, a Strategic Advisor to DemocracyNext, and a member of the Leadership Council of the Democracy and Culture Foundation. Additionally, Jon has represented Great Britain in both rowing and triathlon.In this inspiring conversation, Jon shares his journey of building greater trust in himself and others, which has shaped his ideas about evolving from a Consumer story to a Citizen story. In this new narrative, we expand our self-interest, connection, and sense of belonging, embracing the uncertainty we collectively face. We discuss the importance of stories over data, becoming who we want to be, reflection, and the immense satisfaction of being part of something bigger than ourselves.If you feel somewhat stuck and perhaps overwhelmed by the mounting crises, and if you are looking to reengage with a sense of agency and empowerment, this episode, along with Jon's journey, will give you much to contemplate, as well as inspiration for action.Subscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for clips and shorts.For further content and information check out the following:Jon's book & website: https://www.jonalexander.net/Jon's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-alexander-11b66345/Jon's Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonjalex- For the podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to further explore your own lines of self-inquiry or create experiences that lead to more connecting and genuine conversations amongst groups of people.00:00 Introduction02:55 Consumer Story & Citizen Story05:35 What would you do if you believed in yourself & others09:15 Self interest and expanded self-interest13:05 Human and community and connection16:45 Stories and connection over data21:55 Collectively becoming who we want to be25:55 Pretending we have answers and solutions30:40 Safe uncertainty34:35 A need for belonging, community, and contribution38:20 Trusting others43:55 Time to reflect and portals50:55 Not something to give up but to gain55:55 What is a good life for Jon?

Sir Geoff Mulgan CBE is Professor of Collective Intelligence, Public Policy and Social Innovation at University College London (UCL). Prior to that he was Chief Executive of Nesta, the UK's innovation foundation. Between 1997 and 2004, Geoff had roles in the UK government, including director of the Government's Strategy Unit and head of policy in the Prime Minister's office. From 2004 to 2011, he was the first Chief Executive of The Young Foundation. He was the first director of the think-tank Demos and has been a reporter on BBC TV and radio.SummaryProfessor Sir Geoff Mulgan discusses the concept of collective intelligence and its importance in solving complex problems. He shares his diverse career journey and emphasises the value of being useful and working with intelligent pioneers. The definition of intelligence is explored, highlighting the capacity to make choices and the various functions and capacities that contribute to intelligence. The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in collective intelligence is discussed, with AI being effective in certain tasks but lacking creativity, judgment, and wisdom. It also delves into the discussion around education and work, highlighting the importance of preparing individuals for the future job market and the shortcomings of current education systems. The conversation emphasises the need for education systems to become more collectively intelligent and adaptive to the changing needs of the workforce. It concludes with advice for young people to cultivate deep knowledge in a specific field while also developing a wide range of skills and engaging with the arts.TakeawaysCollective intelligence is intelligence at a large scale and is crucial for solving complex problems.Intelligence is the capacity to make choices and encompasses functions such as memory, observation, creativity, judgment, and wisdom.Artificial intelligence (AI) is effective in tasks like observation, prediction, and memory, but lacks creativity, judgment, and wisdom.The combination of human and machine intelligence is often more effective than relying solely on AI.Replicating human wisdom in AI is challenging due to the ability to understand context and relate knowledge to specific situations. Incorporating wisdom into AI systems is a challenge that requires engaging with the lessons of wisdom and considering ethics, long-term perspectives, and the ability to make judgments.Education systems need to adapt to the changing needs of the future job market and focus on developing both technical and generic skills such as communication, problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity.Education systems should aim to become more collectively intelligent by using data, evidence, and experimentation to improve teaching methods and navigate the complexities of the future.Individuals should cultivate deep knowledge in a specific field while also developing a wide range of skills and engaging with the arts to stay relevant and adaptable in a rapidly changing world.Optimism and positive imagination are important for envisioning and working towards a better future, despite the challenges and pessimism that exist.Key Moments08:20 Exploring the Definition of Intelligence16:16 The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Collective Intelligence30:07 Adapting Education Systems for the Future Job Market36:20 Cultivating Deep Knowledge and Wide Skills for Success52:02 Embracing Optimism and Positive Imagination for the FutureMusic credit: David Cutter Music / @dcuttermusic Hosted on Acast.

If we're at the moment of choice between flourishing and destruction, what would you choose? We are at a moment of decision: We either step forward into our own Great Destruction, which could theoretically see us wipe out all of humanity and most of the More than Human World…Or we could step into what Indy Johar calls 'The Great Peace', claiming our birthright as the Interstitial Generation between the old paradigm of extraction, consumption and pollution—and the new one that could arise where we accept the interbecoming of all things, where we as individual humans take our place in a community of care and experience that encompasses all of the world.  This is our potential, laid out in clear terms, by thought leader and evolutionary, Indy Johar of Dark Matter Labs. Indy is an architect by training and a maker by practice; he is a Senior Innovation Associate with the Young Foundation, and, amongst many other things, he co-founded Impact Hub Birmingham and Open Systems Lab, was a member of the RSA's Inclusive Growth Commission, and was a good growth advisor to the Mayor of London. He is an explorative practitioner in the means of system change & the dark matter design of civic infrastructure finance, outcomes, and governance. Indy is a co-founder and Director of 00 and Dark Matter Laboratories - a field laboratory focused on building the institutional infrastructures for radicle civic societies, cities, regions and towns. Dark Matter Labs says, 'Around the planet, we're feeling the consequences of outdated institutions and inadequate infrastructures incapable of coping with planetary-scale challenges. At Dark Matter, we believe in taking on these challenges via a new, civic economy.'Their many strands of work include the Radicle Civics experiments (where 'Radicle', is the first part of a seedling to emerge from the embryonic seed of a plant), which explores, amongst other things, how we could re-imagine houses as autonomous beings, not things we own . One of the many exciting things about Dark Matter Labs is that they create these experiments on the ground: I've put a link to their blog post on Repermissioning the City in the show notes and really, if you have time, I encourage you to read it for ideas of things that are actually happening as we speak.  Beyond that, Indy and Dark Matter explore so much of what this podcast is about: governance systems, economics, management, the nature of the world if we were able to take our place within it as fully conscious beings in a fully conscious web of life.  This took me right to the edge of my thinking, which is such an exciting, enlivening place to be: walking the knife edge between what we know (or think we know) and what might yet be possible.  Both Indy and I had various viruses so there's some coughing and some rough-speaking, particularly from my end, but if you can manage that, I think this is one of those episodes that has the power to change worlds.  So people of the podcast, please do welcome, Indy Johar of Dark Matter Labs.

Recorded on 3rd March 2022.

This episode of The New Abnormal features the dynamic Jon Alexander, author of "CITIZENS: Why the Key to Fixing Everything is All of Us".It's a book that seeks to reframe the moment in time we're living in as one of huge civic opportunity, not just crisis and collapse, and in doing so opens up a world of possibility for organisations and leaders across sectors and across the world.Jon is co-founder of the New Citizenship Project, a strategy and innovation consultancy that aims to shift the dominant story of the individual in society from Consumer to Citizen. (NCP is a certified B-corporation). Having begun his career with a decade in the advertising industry at agencies including BBDO and Fallon, Jon is increasingly active and visible politically; as a Fellow of the Young Foundation and the Royal Society of Arts, and a member of the OECD's Innovative Citizen Participation Network. So, in this episode, we discuss all of the above, but with a core focus on his excellent new book, where he describes in detail why he believes we need a new thinking framework - and a new set of ideas...I hope you enjoy listening in! 

S3 EP10: The Future of the Citizen (With Jon Alexander) Our guest this week joining to discuss the future of the citizen and citizenship is the brilliant Jon Alexander. His fantastic new book 'Citizens' is available to pre-order now. BIO:Jon spent the first decade of his career working in the advertising industry, selling some of the world's biggest brands, and winning plenty of awards along the way. Then he realised he was caught up in a story he didn't believe in: The Consumer Story.In 2014, Jon co-founded the New Citizenship Project with Irenie Ekkeshis, a former ad-land colleague. Their mission was to figure out how to use their skills not just to sell stuff to Consumers, but to involve people in the decisions that affect their lives as Citizens. They have since partnered with organisations and institutions including the Co-op, The Body Shop, National Trust, BBC, European Central Bank and many more.Jon is a Fellow of the Young Foundation and the Royal Society of Arts, as well as a member of the World Economic Forum's Political Entrepreneurship Network and of the OECD's Innovative Citizen Participation Network.

This interactive webinar was streamed live on Friday 18 September 2020. It explored regional perspectives on supporting greater community resilience in the UK, to help people respond to, and rebuild after disruptive events and developments. Cumberland Lodge Chief Executive Canon Dr Edmund Newell was joined by guest panellists: Andy Burnham - Mayor of Greater Manchester Dr Joanie Willett - Senior Lecturer in Politics and Co-Director of the Institute of Cornish Studies, at the University of Exeter. The discussion delved into some of the recommendations from our Cumberland Lodge Report on Resilient Communities, which was published in partnership with The Young Foundation, in July 2020. Our report examines opportunities for fostering social cohesion in ways that help communities to be more resilient to disruptive events and developments. Its practical recommendations for local authorities, policymakers and community practitioners are designed to support communities and help us all look ahead to a fairer and more inclusive future.

Dark Matter Labs is a multidisciplinary design team developing new working methods for system change. Today we're joined by Indy Johar and Annette Dhami to discuss their mission of discovering, designing and developing the institutional ‘dark matter' that supports a more democratic, distributed and sustainable future.   Indy Johar is a founding Director of 00 and Dark Matter Labs. An architect by training, Indy is a Senior Innovation Associate with the Young Foundation and a visiting Professor at the University of Sheffield. He co-founded Impact Hub Birmingham and Open Systems Lab, and was a member of the RSA's Inclusive Growth Commission. He is a thought leader in system change, the future of urban infrastructure finance, outcome-based investment, and the future of governance.   Annette Dhami spent over a decade building, operating and driving mission-led (and often place-based) organisations and networks, including Impact Hubs (Brixton and Islington) and the Plymouth Social Enterprise Network, exploring how we organise, finance, use buildings, build networks and create economies for shared benefit. Annette joined Dark Matter Labs in 2020 to focus more deeply on how we organise and operate (in theory and creating this in practice) for transition. She holds the organising and operational work of the international Dark Matter Labs ecosystem (read more about that here), and explores these organising questions more deeply in the multi-partner #BeyondtheRules project.     A full transcript of the episode can be found on our website: https://boundaryless.io/podcast/dark-matter-labs/    Key highlights: We discussed: Dark Matter Labs' ambitions for creating a real learning organisation. Governing by building learning capacity inside organisations. The theory of genius to make people accountable through care and learning. The ability to work diagonally across local and global dimensions. Creating markets and new theories of value.  The tension and spectrum between “patronising” governance and fostering autonomous (almost autocratic) entrepreneurialism. Making space for care and innovation at every point in the system.   To find out more about Annette Dhami and Indy Johar's work:   > Website: https://darkmatterlabs.org/  > Annette's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annette-dhami-1735554a/ > Indy's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/indy-johar-b440b010/    Other references and mentions:   > DM Notes Series: https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.org/ > The Beyond The Rules project: https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.org/beyondtherules-e3ab44f0dc3    > Organising #BeyondTheRules series: https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.org/organising-beyondtherules-at-dark-matter-labs-e59e4f5dd32f    Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at https://boundaryless.io/resources/podcast/   Thanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.

Charcot-Marie Tooth disease is a rare, genetic nerve condition that affects 150,000 Americans and nearly 3 million people around the world. Though the condition was first medically recognized in 1886, it is without an approved therapy. The CMT Research Foundation has been seeking to change that by addressing barriers to the development of therapies for CMT. We spoke to Susan Ruediger, founder and CEO of CMT Research Foundation, about its efforts to catalyze drug development for CMT, what it's done to address obstacles, and some of the partnerships it has established to advance the development of treatments and potentially a cure.

We’re used to hearing that the UK’s high streets are in decline. With a decade of austerity, the shift to online shopping and the closure of shops during the coronavirus pandemic, high streets certainly face huge challenges. This session will ask - should we fight to maintain the high street as we have come to know it? Or do we need to replace it with something else that is community owned and has a community function? It will challenge the notion that all UK high streets are fizzling out - finding examples from across the UK of where high streets already offer huge community value.

Carl Konadu is the Co-founder and CEO of 2-3 Degrees, a personal development training company (and social enterprise) whose aim is to equip young people with practical skills for life beyond the classroom.In Carl's second year of University, he and 2-3 Degrees co-founder Azzees Minott "began to realise that we did not have the soft skills needed to forge successful lives." But small positive actions "can be what helps you improve."2-3 Degrees works with schools, colleges and Universities to support young people to make positive decisions through talks and workshops.Carl told me about their work and impact in this episode of the Business Live radio show, broadcast on Sheffield Live 93.2FM on Friday 6 December and available as a podcast here.He covers how 2-3 Degrees launched, where it works, how it supports young people, and the most important sources of support which got Carl and Azzees grounded in the "basics of business planning" - the Hatch Incubator programme, the School for Social Entrepreneurs, and the Young Foundation.He takes my question about whether the personal development and motivation-building 'industry' just makes people feel a temporary high. Carl describes how 2-3 Degrees seeks to ensure its participants put the new skills (hard and soft) they learn into practice to effect change and development.And he's open about 2-3 Degrees' impact, its biggest challenges faced so far, and has tips in terms of finding and working with a co-founder with complementary skills.

"Young people are taught to be good at exams, but with very little context of how what they’ve learned will apply to real life," according to Jon Maiden, co-founder and CEO of Panjango.That means, he says, they don't have the skills they need for work and society, for the jobs of today, and the new jobs of the future.But serial social entrepreneur Jon has come up with a powerful, immersive and playful route for children to explore the sometimes mysterious world of work.Jon joined me in the Sheffield Live radio studio this morning and brought with him Panjango's beautifully designed board and card games, The Panjango Game and Panjango Trumps.They've been created thanks to support from The Young Foundation, and are now available to order via Kickstarter. The games look fantastic and are designed to enable give young people the knowledge, skills and experience to find their purpose and fulfill their potential.Listen to the interview with Jon, below, to hear more about Panjango's games and the philosophy behind them – it was a wide ranging chat. We also covered:being "smarter than a 10 year old" and the balance between intelligence and imagination,developing "four dimensional skills" for the future, including for jobs which don't yet exist,Panjango Trumps are a world first – and they include metrics for the social impact of a variety of roles (which I loved), as well as other numbers you might expect to find on the cards,Jon's previous work as a social entrepreneur and development director of Point Blank Theatre Company, which bought The Riverside pub in Kelham Island when it was a struggling pub and ran it as a flourishing community venue with a diverse range of activities,access to funding for startup social entrepreneurs, with shout-outs for UnLtd and Awards for All.This week's show is dedicated to Phil Baldwin, a much loved colleague and friend at Sheffield Live.

Will we be jobless in the future? Is there a role for designers in re-imagining public services? How can we get the most out of machines whilst unleashing human potential? How can we democratize city-making? Enter Indy Johar. Indy is a London-based architect and co-founder of Architecture00, focusing on the role of design in complex system change and social investment. As well as this, he is Senior Innovation Associate with the Young Foundation and Visiting Professor at the University of Sheffield. Most of Indy’s day-to-day is occupied with Dark Matter Labs, which he founded a few years ago to apply complex systems science to urban & regional renewal, turning what is generally perceived as a threat of our time – spill-over effects across borders, boundaries and silos – into a resource to solve the wicked challenges society faces in the 21st century. Dark Matter Laboratories utilizes an experimentation method typical of a fieldwork scientific laboratory, undertaking real-world research and prototyping in order to seed the next generation of institutional infrastructure. The studio is currently working on a series of initiatives from developing a new class of System Change – Impact Funds, Town Halls for Social Innovation, a new generation of Polytechnics, and the transformation of numerous existing institutions.

In this second podcast from Civic Radio, Jo Barratt talks to Simon Willis, Chief Executive of the Young Foundation about social inequality ad civic participation.     Willis says that many people in the UK feel forgotten and disenfranchised, he is concerned to find ways to hand voice and power to people who feel excluded, to enable them to establish their own ways of doing things, on their terms, when political parties fail to address their needs.    

Has the world of commerce encroached irrevocably on our civic spaces, and how much do we care? How much is civic exclusion growing because of what participation demands or expects of us? Civic Radio is on the road, seeking out the people and organisations that are exploring these topics in different ways. In this episode we meet Simon Willis, Cheif Executive of the Young Foundation.

The New Elizabethans: Michael Young. To mark the Diamond Jubilee, James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the men and women who have given the second Elizabethan age its character. James Naughtie looks at the energetic and innovative founder of Which?, the Consumers' Association and the Open University. A social reformer bursting with ideas, Young challenged conventional thinking and was one of the leading minds behind the 1945 Labour manifesto which helped shape post-war Britain. Along side the Consumers' Association he set-up a network of advisory bodies and services and his legacy lives on in The Young Foundation which is still working to develop ventures which help the less well off. The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of London's Royal Opera House. The panellists were Dominic Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne, Sally Alexander, Jonathan Agar, Maria Misra and Sir Max Hastings. They were asked to choose: "Men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and/or given the age its character, for better or worse." Producer: Clare Walker.

Ken Clarke has promised a "rehabilitation revolution" in which private investors will fund projects aimed at cutting the re-offending rate. If the projects succeed, the government will pay those investors a return. But if the projects fail, the investors will lose their shirts. You can see why the idea is attractive to ministers. In a period of spending restraint - and with a huge and hugely expensive prison population - a 'payment by results' system promises to fund rehabilitation projects from future savings. But will it work? After all, rehabilitation is hardly a new idea. And so far, it seems, most attempts have made little difference. So the question is whether a new way of paying for criminal rehabilitation might deliver better results. There's unrestrained excitement among some of those working with offenders. And deep scepticism among some criminologists. Emma Jane Kirby investigates. Interviewees include: the Justice Secretary, the Rt Hon Kenneth Clarke MP; criminologists Professor Sir Anthony Bottoms and Professor Carol Hedderman; Geoff Mulgan from the Young Foundation; the welfare expert Professor Dan Finn; Toby Eccles from Social Finance; and Rob Owen, chief executive of the St Giles Trust. Producer: Richard Knight.
