  • #28: Narrow focus on credentials can overshadow finding talent
    Sep 29 2021

    Hello everyone,

    Welcome to today's episode of the BVI Strategy podcast. Today's session discusses an article written by the WSJ on job seekers that consider adding their vaccination status to their resume.

    This is an exciting consideration because it is coming as demand from employers. Employers are concerned about wasting time and resources asking candidates whether they are vaccinated or not, so they demand the vaccination status upfront. The insight here is that we should be careful doing exactly that because it limits or narrows recruiting process to find talent. Listen to the podcast to understand the context.

    Enjoy the episode,

  • #26: Are we busy doing nothing? with author and anthropologist, Dennis Nørmark
    Sep 2 2021

    Hello everyone,

    It may sound that the world is becoming more and more advanced in solving mankind's toughest problems, building up society, and caring for the weakest, and the more the world evolves, the more we hear these stories. Yet, there is no correlation between this vision and productivity. On the contrary, productivity has been falling worldwide for the past couple of decades, and it will continue to do that forward-going.

    In today's episode, we discuss a critical topic around mankind's shift towards jobs requiring us to work full time without creating true value - the so-called pseudo-jobs or work.

    Listen to Dennis' ideas and suggestions on restoring our self-respect and creating real value despite cultural pressure.

    Enjoy the podcast!

  • #25: Our capabilities are limited to the incentive systems built around us
    Aug 19 2021

    Hello everyone, and welcome to today's podcast episode

    In this episode, we discuss a piece written by the Wall Street Journal called PG&E Blacks Out Some Customers to Reduce California Risks. The insight of the piece is that our capabilities are only as good as the incentive systems built in the environment we are working in. 

    For a long time, the world used to fight wildfires and natural catastrophes the moment they appear. Obviously, we have taken some measures to secure our buildings from earthquakes and the like, but now, PG&E has taken these measurements a level or two up. 

    They have decided to shut down electricity for 0.003% of their customers to prevent the fire from destroying their equipment. Think about it; 0.003% is now enough to balance the loss out. That's not a lot, but the good thing is, we are starting to think about problem prevention rather than just problem-solving.
