With the blink of an eye… first FDIC in the books! I knew FDIC International was BIG, but WOW…. it was WAY MORE than a conference! 🚨 Loved seeing so many familiar faces— reconnecting with friends, mentors, thoughtleaders, including a few I haven’t seen since Squishy Robotics was first starting out; seeing in person those I have only had the opportunity to work with virtually until now; meeting new people passionate about innovation in public safety. 🚨 Motivated and inspired more than ever by the energy and dedication of everyone working toward the common mission of service— the First Responders serving and keeping their communities safe, as well as the technology providers developing innovative solutions in service of helping First Responders do their jobs safer, better, faster. 🚨 Excited about new partnerships and integrations— ad hoc demonstrations of integrated capabilities between technology solutions and discussions about further partnerships to meet First Responder needs. 🚨 Renewed sense of admiration and respect for First Responders— the sacrifices they make in service of their communities and the risks they face each day. The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb was definitely an emotional reminder and humbling to watch. FDIC was definitely WAY MORE than a conference! 🚨🚒🔥 Kirk McKinzie Kevin Sofen Tammy McLean Ray Ivie MICHAEL (Mike) AVOLIO, MSS, TS/SCI Phil Ambrose Rick Markley Mike Mocerino Hannah Stirton Michael Asimor Andrew Fusco Andrew John Leaman Enzo Jia Paul Couston Alex Gorsuch #FDIC2024 #FDIC #LucasOilStadium #FirstResponders #community #partnership #collaboration #technology #innovation

Thanks to PASA for inviting me. Thanks to Jane for seamlessly Chairing the session, and to Anna Taylor and Lorraine Harper for sharing their insights with me. Thinking about the two areas of focus I mentioned: Technical Debt - the debt we have built up over decades of underinvesting in administration technology. Talent Debt - the experienced first wave of administrators have retired, professional trustees and consultants are hoovering talent and firms have underinvested in training and development programs (primarily through COVID worries). We need to invest in talent and create pathways for administration to be a vibrant long term career again. Debt has to be paid, and the only way to balance this equation is to stop thinking of this as a sunset industry and invest with longer term aspirations. There will always be benefit provision, the assets and liabilities do not disappear. That will be serviced in different ways but skills are transferable and new markets present. We will always have retirement savers, from my perspective, and we can flex with their needs. So, in short in my 42 years every sunset has been followed by a sunrise (I have not been to Norway in fairness). If that doesn’t happen, pensions are the least of our worries!! (See ESG policies)
Our first panel of the day - Trustees & Administrators: Time to Tango chaired by Jane Beverley, joined by Chris Roberts, Anna Taylor & Lorraine Harper #PASA2024

CEO @ RxPack | MBA, Pharmaceutical Packaging, Medical Devices, Board Member - NACD Certified Board Director
A certification from the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors) is not an easy task. I have studied governance (failed one test!) of companies based on USA regulations and best practices and appreciated how they apply globally, and size doesn't really matter on the below topics: - ESG - Environment Social and Governance - Regulatory shifts and strategic implications - Risk Management - Cybersecurity - Talent Recruitment are all challenges on the agenda of the boards of any company, being public in USA, or medium and small size in Europe. RxPack being a pharma packaging company serving global, and local international companies is managing all of the above, by its teams, and with customers, supplyers and partners. #governance #ESG #globalchallenges
Congratulations to Anne Davidson Barr, NACD.DC, Massimo Carrara, Bretton Cumming, Ryan Eads, Eve Kaplan-Walbrecht, Gaurav Kapoor, Mandeep Maini, Heather McMahon, Joel Moryn, Kerry Skolkin, Jim Tates, Brian White, and Marcus Yoder. These individuals have recently achieved NACD Directorship Certification and are now part of the growing community of NACD Certified Directors. Join them by applying here: https://lnkd.in/eJe-MBfj #NACDDirectorshipCertified

A COMPASSIONATE ECONOMY IS IT POSSIBLE? Last Friday, I had the privilege of attending a thought-provoking discussion that challenged conventional business models. Melanie Rieback and Alison Holloway explained how their company business models work with an approach that challenges the traditional drive to extract wealth from production, offering instead a more balanced, equitable, environmentally sound and compassionate way of doing business. 🤷♀️ What is it about this model that is compassionate ➡ It's a business model that prioritises people, the environment and society over profits, enabling everyone involved - employees, owners, customers, the business and even the economy to thrive without causing the harm of traditional business models. ➡ Staff and owners alike earn a fair and livable wage, but no one becomes 'unnaturally wealthy', as Melanie puts it. At the same time, staff don't get terminated for a sniff of a slight boost to the company's profit. ➡ Customers are charged market rates, with provisions to subsidise those who need the service but can't afford to pay as much. ➡ No shareholder's interest in extracting wealth from the business is prioritised above all else. Measures are put in place to stop this eventuality from arising. 🤔 If you find this business model as intriguing as me, I highly recommend watching Melanie's TED talk. For those who are truly enthusiastic, Melanie's LinkedIn page hosts a series of 8 YouTube clips, each over an hour long, on how to build a non-extractive business. 🙏 A big that you to Antony McMullen, FGIA, FRSA, for your inspiring wrap-up at the end of the panel discussion and to the 888 Co-operative Causeway Limited and RSA Oceania for making the event happen and Clare Fountain, GAICD, for being an excellent panel facilitator Why we need to reform the startup business model | Melanie Rieback | TEDxBerlin (youtube.com)
Thank you Alison Holloway for walking the talk on Friday last night, outlining the inspiring SGS Economics and Planning organisational model that examplifies some of the ideas advocated so beautifully by Melanie Rieback. Our 888 Co-operative Causeway Limited event was supported by RSA Oceania at The Kelvin Club ... thanks also go to Sharon Ede and Kane Jackson for your support. Pictured: event MC Clare Fountain, GAICD (colleague Co-operative Bonds), Alison and of course Melanie. All under the gaze of Lord Kelvin!

“The more things change the more they stay the same.” Significant parallels between #f35 integration and introduction of #CF18 Hornet 40 years ago. Op Ed beginning on page 54 of Skies Magazine RCAF issue. Beginning of CF-18 Hornet for #RCAF was #transformational leaping from 2nd Gen fighters to brand new 4th Gen Hornet. Now 40 years later, it’s the massive leap to #5thGen F-35. Transitioning young aviators early, learning from other air forces who have more depth and #knowledge and staying ahead of #capability curve have parallels in the CF-18 introduction and should be applied to F-35 transition. RCAF is so far behind now. Key now is to not make mistakes from this point forward.
