BS032 - Adaptive ideas and resilience as culture, with Aaron Gracey Beyond the Black Stump

G'day this is Ken Simpson, and welcome to Episode 32 of Beyond
the Black Stump.

 

Another month has come and gone, the last Friday of the month
so we celebrate it as a Book Club episode.

But a book club with a difference, in that our author today
has published a number of articles and blog posts - and is seeking
to write a book. So we are just getting in early. After all the
intent of book club is to encourage reading.

 

And on that note before we get into today’s conversation I
just want to remind you that there is a full transcript of the
interview available on the shows web site -http://Blackstump.FM

The link is active in the show notes on your podcast
player.

 

The reason I made a point of reminding you about that at the
top of the show is that there are some patchy parts of the audio
today, and you might need to refer to the transcript to better
understand the meaning.

 

My guest today brings learning and experience form the
military into the corporate world of BC and resilience. Of
particular interest to me is his focus on resilience as a cultural
outcome. Our industry has been plagued with ex-military folks
promoting their versions of command and control models for many
years - but here are some different perspectives. Perspectives that
are derived form research, as well as experience - and more
importantly perspectives that are alive and shifting as the world
moves.

 

Ideas and practices that adapt - might be a good way to
describe preparations for improving resilience.

So join me as I discuss these ideas with Aaron Gracey.

Thanks for staying with us, and I hope the audio (and the
accents) were not too hard to follow.
