Business Second Opinion: Recent Episodes
Carol Sanford
Get a…Business Second Opinion
Rigorously Examining Sources and Effects of Business Practices. Learn to read between the lines and peep behind the curtain on where business ideas come from and what their effects are likely to produce as a result. Predict effects before you buy! Question before you adopt! Business Second Opinion makes it easy.
We look at 3 paradigms of culture in the workplace. The Authority Centered, the Empathetic Centered and the Developmentally Centered. What they look like and produce in business outcomes.
We have no institutions or infrastructure in any organization that intentionally and rigorously develops whole humans. We see the need for training the functional skills, even behavioral skills, but not the management and development of being (choosing who I am at any moment of situations) or development of our will (what we seek to serve and take on that demands we extend beyond current motives.)
What happens when the Family culture announced downsizing. AirBnb shows us what not to do.
Purpose is a very hot topic. At the level of a person’s purpose and being a purpose driven organization. Learn why they may not be the best way to get direction or determine your best contribution
Today we looked at Missions and their role in motivation and keeping teams on course. We look at the effects of external management and motivation and how it is the real challenge, not getting the right kind of external method in place.
Today we look at how we look at Leadership Competencies, where people are assumed to need external management and we work to make it good leadership. We offer a non-hierarchical approach where everyone learns and uses leadership capabilities. None of the solutions offered in the MIT article, when have been tried in every downturn, will make any difference. We share what will.
Today we look at how we look at The Great Resignation, where people are resigning to change jobs, create their own startup or do contract work for more freedom or meaning. None of the solutions offered in the MIT article, when have been tried in every downturn, will make any difference. We share what will.
Today we look at how we define our ideal customer and consumer and organize our decision making to offer the best product or service, or both. Go from seeing buyers as things, to types, to singular beings that have values and life purposes.
Once in a while, we see new ideas about the Future of Work and how to design work. Most designs are moving from traditional command and control to a Do less Harm paradigm and making it a better place to work. e.g. get rid of supervisors. It is rare to have articles or ideas on learning as a result of work Design in the Do Good Paradigm. Carol's third book, The Regenerative Business: Redesign Work, Cultivate Human Potential, Achieve Extraordinary Outcomes offers better path. So, prepare yourself to question all your good deeds again.
We look at a ‘do good’ paradigm idea of how to deal with uncertainty. To overcome depression and anxiety and ignite hope. But we discover that visioning a better future has bad side-effects for social systems and planetary health. Thank goodness there is a better way to do all three at the same time.
It is not a matter of the Quantity as our critiqued article from MIT Sloan Review proposes. It is the Quality of thinking that matters. Interestingly, when we have better quality and are managing from multiple levels at the same time, we can gain energy. It is counter intuitive but known to be true for decades. And the Quantity and effectiveness of decisions and actions is exponentially improved.
This episode is helping us think about how our identity gets lost, confused or we can get panicked in times of personal, work or global change. And what to do about it.
In this episode of Business Second Opinion, Carol Sanford gives a business second opinion on principles of regeneration in the business world.

Philanthropy is seen as a Good Thing. What if it is really shutting the barn door after the horse is out. Or cleaning up after the problems are created, often by the people and system who created the mess. What would be a better way?

Diversity and Inclusion is not about being a more thoughtful person. Although that is required. It is not about being fair and equitable, although it does require activating that understanding. And it is not having a great business although it will produce that. It is about having each and every human able to develop and contribute their full potential in a lifetime and to have systems to evolve that capacity for each person and all of Life.

What is required to create deep and lasting change for EArth? Is Circular Economy the new best approach? The answer has some part of Yes! But it has a lot of limitations that tend to be blocked out by the advocates of Circular Economy. The reason for the Yes, it that it will slow down the driver of one bigger challenge we face in the climate crises. The reason it is limited is it is using the way of thinking that got us into the mess. Surprisingly, we are thinking from the old paradigm, the Extract Value one, when we seek to stop resource depletion acceleration. So a partial YES! The question is,” is it powerful and deep enough to get us to a new world view?”

We answer a listener's question on "What is the Future of Performance Management," since so many businesses are giving up annual reviews and 360 Degree Feedback. Deloitte has an answer but it turns out the be from the same paradigm that created the problem. See if you can catch it before we give you the Eight Objectives pursued by a Regenerative Business.
Business Second Opinion Podcast digs deep to answer questions about business and business practice, you may not know you need to ask. But we believe you should be asking for the benefit of your understanding and your businesses ethics and practice. In the process of answering them, we give you a second opinion, usually a contrarian opinion, but that is well tested and proven to give the outcomes you really want without the side effects.

A month ago, we started a conversation about the much-lauded idea of process improvement. In succession, through history, each assumed" new" program has brought very little that is new. And is adopted by business first, then education and not-for-profits and eventually into families. Each time, the practices getting further away from a living-systems practice and barely ameliorate the problems the old one created
This time we give you the Living System alternatives with examples.

Carol & Zac examine four approaches to strategy and their value in providing focus, positioning, and execution relative to longevity and financial effectiveness. What leads to an inability to be bumped from a market space, lose members of your tribe, be knocked out by product substitutes. And have shortfalls in cash flow, margins and earnings. Essence expression as the nodal or keystone to strategic thinking wins— hands down. Learn why!

We test what is new since Scientific Management over a century ago. How would we measure the worth of a program in advance and how you can examijne any new program from Multiple Intelligences to Agile.. With our critical thinking lens.

We look at how to evaluate consulting practices and offering for their ability to promote intelligence and innovation be embedded and imbued. We use the framework of epistemology- that is how we know what we know, what is the means we know, what we are allowed to know. Specific three epistemologies and what they give us clues to in terms of developing intelligence and innovation into a culture.

Innovation is a three-legged stool. It is not a list of behaviors but calls for a mindset that includes an external focus on stakeholder's lives plus what is called for with new capability for the stakeholder and the business delivering the new innovation
We examine a series of articles and ideas on how Innovation Happens. We look at the paradigm their ideas, research and thinking come from and the effect of that. We offer that missing it how to build the Mind that can break away from all our mechanicalness and move our thinking, every day, toward groundbreaking ways of thinking and therefore new offerings into the market. Live fishbowl with Zac on 3 mentation aims and ways to pursue them
Using the march 2019 Harvard Business Revies entitled Why Feedback Fails, we examine how to tell if we have swtiched minds when we suggest an alternative practice or adopt a suggested one.
The new craze of Growth Mindset examined. What it adding to the leadership work in business and why it is incomplete in terms of what is possible.
We look at four paradigms that define Design Thinking, a very popular idea that has spread into every consulting practice and field. Including a Living Stems view of Design Thinking.
