Ep. 34: The "Best" of 2016, Part One of Two - "The Big Picture"

I had a number of excellent conversations with awesome guests this year that touched on "big picture" topics and it is my pleasure to share some highlights of these in the first of two "best of" episodes.  They discuss the origins of the calendar and the concept of time, systems thinking, corruption and ethics, the global financial crisis of 07-08, Brexit, Trump and technocracies, counterinsurgency, and saving lives.  Featured clips are from: Episode 4 with John Morrison: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/03/01/ep-4-john-morrison-in-the-eye-of-the-storm/ Episode 6 with Alison Taylor: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/03/23/ep-6-alison-taylor-culture-and-corruption/ Episode 7 with Robert Earl Stewart: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/04/05/episode-7-robert-earl-stewart-writing-running-poetry-and-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-rpwa/ Episode 12 with Kevin Knabe: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/05/17/ep-12-kevin-knabe-design-the-making-of-sense-and-how-everything-came-to-be-the-way-it-is/ Episode 13 with Stéphane Bussard: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/05/31/ep-13-stephane-bussard-diplomacy-history-the-individual-experience-and-the-craft-of-a-foreign-correspondent/ Episode 14 with Nick Copperwaite: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/06/09/ep-14-nick-copperwaite-leadership-from-counter-insurgency-operations-to-canary-wharf/ Episode 17 with Daniel Wagner: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/07/11/ep-17-daniel-wagner-global-risk-agility-and-decision-making/ Episode 20 with Michele Battle-Fisher: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/08/24/episode-20-michele-battle-fisher-systems-thinking-uncertainty-public-health-policy-course-puffins/ Episode 21 with Tony Haile: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/09/07/ep-21-tony-haile-polar-expeditions-media-digital-age-just-everything/ Episode 23 with Christine McNab: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/09/20/ep-23-christine-mcnab-art-saving-life/ Episode 32 with John Lark: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2016/12/13/ep-32-john-lark-context-confirmation-bias-achieving-want/ Stay tuned for Part Two! _____________________ Did you like this episode?
