The pandemic has transformed work and learning, and this will be

particularly evident as we emerge into a post-pandemic world. One

person’s disruption is another person’s opportunity. Similarly some

organizations have responded with incredible resilience, and are

experiencing unprecedented growth and success.

Historically great crises and catastrophes are followed by renaissances

and periods of incredible innovation. What’s the difference between

success and failure, between depression and excitement? Talent. This is

true for both individuals and organizations.

How do you foster and harness your talent? How do organizations attract,

develop, and retain talent? These are crucial questions during this

transitional period as we remain in a pandemic but seek our path out of

it!

As a futurist and social designer, Andriana Lagoudes builds inclusive systems for sidelined people to unlearn their shame. Andriana does this by navigating and researching through complex political problems to design new code based on people’s best case scenario.

In this episode of Metaviews, Andriana joins host Jesse Hirsh to talk about the politics of the future, the politics of care, and why we're living in a moment where ethics may be more important than aesthetics.

Vasiliki Bednar from Regs2Riches.com joins Jesse Hirsh to talk about the problems arising from copy and paste public policy. This is what happens when policy makers copy other jurisdictions blindly, rather than engage in a policy process that adapts to the needs of jurisdiction. Obviously policy makers can and should learn from each other and best practices, yet often the process is the purpose, and blindly copying others leads to problems down the road.
