    End of season 1: Connection, belonging, self organisation and play

    This is not the end but it is an end. Amit and Nils speak of what we learned from this first season of the Meaningful Work Podcast and go for a summer break. This was a really rich conversation and some of the main themes were connection at the centre, self organisation as a fact of life and why play might be really important in whatever comes next.

    Johan Thiel: Business building and strategy as navigation.

    ⁠Johan Thiel ⁠is the ex CEO of MIPS, and ⁠Trifilon now investor⁠ and colleague to Amit. Amit and Johan address the topics of business building, the challenges of pushing the edges of what can be done. We get to tap into Johans long experience of getting what should be impossible done. Also what sailing and horizons has to do with business building and how he feels about the word impossible (spoiler: it's not a word he uses often). Enjoy!

    Sensemaking: Connection

    It’s time for another sense making episode. This one on the second 21 day story we did in social media. The story was on Connection. Amit and Nils dive into the topic. After having modeled a check-in we touch upon some of the core aspects of this story. Like How central connection is to everything? How it yields opportunities for moving radically faster and more efficiently in business contexts if we put our connection before the results. Why we should be in business to make friends rather than the opposite Why connection is such a good antidote to burnout and stress. And lots more. We refer to some our wonderful guests in this podcasts. Here are those episodes: Andrew Horn, Victoria Vallström, Ricky Godall, Giles Hutchins Enjoy the episode!

    Niklas Huss: The intrapreneur, large scale systems transformation and leveraging the 3rd space in transformation

    Niklas Huss is an intrapreneur in the true sense of the word. He started his professional career running a major transformation of the Swedish Internal Revenue Service (Skatteverket), after that he went on to Länsförsäkringar (one of the largest cooperative insurance companies in Sweden) and then moved on to create a space for interagency cooperation. We speak of the resistance to change, the challenges and cost of transformation both to the individual as well as the organisations. Why it is so important to allow people to get a taste of the change that is planned to bring them along and make it less threatening. We also speak of the 3rd space and the importance of cross agency and functional collaborations in organisations in general but in these current times in particular. And how, regardless of what we would like to think sometimes, that pain is a much stronger driver for change than most other things we know about.

    Sensemaking: Languishing

    It’s time from a sense making episode. This one on the first 21 day story we did in our social media. The story was on Languishing. Amit and Nils dive into the topic. We end up addressing a number of important questions, like: What it is? Who it makes us? Is it purely negative or is there also some positive aspects we draw from the languishing identity? What does languishing have to do with quiet quitting? What are some of the antidotes to languishing? How can we understand the prevalance of it in our current society? Why is it important to care about that blah feeling and why do Amit and Nils seem to think that it is important even for the course of our society? We refer to some our wonderful guests in this podcasts. Here are those episodes: Anna Katharina Schaffner, Imran Rehman, Johan Reunanen, Helena Önneby Enjoy the episode!

    Amit Paul: Excerpts from the book Deep Change by Robert Quinn

    Amit Paul (co-founder of Innerworks) takes us into the weeds of the book Deep change by Robert Quinn. There are excerpts from the book from 1996 with some deep provcations that are probably useful for anyone involved in or preparing to undertake a change process. 4 of many provocations from the episode are: There is no such thing as a sustainable organisation, organisations are constantly dynamically rebalancing. Either you are in a process of deep change or you are in slow death. There is no such thing as changing others, if you are not changing too there will only be talk about change, no action. Are you willing to feel incompetent for a while? How do you continuously reinvent yourself? Intrigued? Take a listen.

He has a passion for consciousness exploration and men's personal development. After being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing 900 days of chemotherapy, he realized he had not been living authentically but conforming to societal expectations. He embarked on a path of self-acceptance, which led to a journey of personal growth. Fabian also founded War On Cancer, a healthtech company that developed an app for improving mental health for individuals affected by cancer. The app has over 50,000 members across 20 countries and several significant partnerships with national and international healthcare systems.

    Kristin Grímsdóttir: Belonging, values and why it’s good for business

    Kristin Grimsdóttir is the Icelander that emigrated to Sweden and did her masters thesis on belonging and values. She developed a model for values mapping which she can use to predict the level of belonging in an organisation or a team. We speak about belonging, psychological safety, why it’s important to focus on. What can happen when we work values based in other contexts like public procurement and how is it really that we can afford the level of disconnection we are currently experiencing? Where does authenticity come in and what is the relationship between it and belonging? This is a hands on podcast that will give you insight into connection, belonging, performance and values and how they relate. Want more, as well as reading and links?
