Expert Voices - What is the environmental cost of AI?

Welcome to Digestible Academia, the podcast where we break down complex academic research into something more digestible. In this episode, we dive into an important and increasingly relevant topic – the environmental cost of AI. We're joined by Dr. Albert Plugge, Professor of ESG Transformation & Digital Innovation at Nyenrode Business University, where he leads the lecture series on Digital Business Ecosystems. Describing himself as a 'hybrid' in the field, Dr. Plugge blends academic research with hands-on consulting expertise. In his role at KPMG, he supports companies in operationalising digital strategies, helping them respond to fast-changing markets. We ask Dr Plugge how companies should be using AI with sustainability in mind, are some AI services more environmentally friendly than others, and what is the actual cost of saying please and thank you to ChatGPT?

Research Reflections - Did Katy Perry really need to go to space?

Welcome to Digestible Academia, a BlueSky Thinking podcast where we break down complex academic research into something more digestible. Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of business, sustainability, and consumer behaviour. In this episode, we'll examine the environmental impact of space tourism through the lens of Katy Perry's controversial 11-minute Blue Origin flight, uncover how powerful CEOs with the right incentives could lead global emissions reductions, and investigate why consumers are surprisingly forgiving of flawed eco-friendly products. We'll also delve into Gen Z's growing influence on corporate sustainability practices and how business schools are shaping the future of sustainable business through groundbreaking research and frameworks that separate genuine impact from misleading ESG claims. Here are the articles we discussed in this episode: https://bluesky-thinking.com/why-jeff-bezos-should-never-have-sent-katy-perry-to-space-according-to-research/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/why-jeff-bezos-should-never-have-sent-katy-perry-to-space-according-to-research/] https://bluesky-thinking.com/does-corporate-sustainability-need-a-gen-z-glow-up/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/does-corporate-sustainability-need-a-gen-z-glow-up/] https://bluesky-thinking.com/consumers-are-more-forgiving-if-faulty-products-are- [https://bluesky-thinking.com/consumers-are-more-forgiving-if-faulty-products-are-] green/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/consumers-are-more-forgiving-if-faulty-products-are-green/] https://bluesky-thinking.com/5-key-ways-business-school-research-is-pushing-the-sustainability-agenda-research-round-up/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/5-key-ways-business-school-research-is-pushing-the-sustainability-agenda-research-round-up/]

Expert Voices – What will it take for women to be heard in the workplace?

Welcome to Digestible Academia, a BlueSky Thinking podcast where we break down complex academic research into something more digestible.   In this episode, in recognition of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month in the UK we’re continuing our exploration into diversity, equality and inclusion.   This week, we are joined by Jackie Ford, a Professor of Leadership and Organisation Studies at Durham University Business School. Jackie’s research covers leadership, gender and organisation theory, exploring working lives, the impact of DEI, and the under-representation of women as leaders.   We asked Jackie why, after many years of board quotas and other pro-women efforts, women still do not hold equal footing in the majority of workplaces, and how companies can navigate this.   More on this can be found at: https://bluesky-thinking.com/are-your-diversity-and-inclusion-initiatives-excluding-your-staff/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/are-your-diversity-and-inclusion-initiatives-excluding-your-staff/] with a further write-up exploring Jackie’s work to come on BlueSky Thinking later this month – watch this space.

Research Reflections - DEI cuts: is it all John's fault?

Welcome to Digestible Academia, a BlueSky Thinking podcast where we break down complex academic research into something more digestible.   Join us as we dive into the world of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace. In this episode, we’ll explore why female CEOs are often more debt-averse than their male counterparts, uncover the impact of gender bias in hiring decisions, and discuss how unconscious biases lead to a disproportionate number of ‘Johns’ in the workplace.   Here are the articles we discussed in this episode: https://bluesky-thinking.com/why-female-ceos-are-the-future/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/why-female-ceos-are-the-future/] https://bluesky-thinking.com/gender-bias-stops-women-from-taking-charge/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/gender-bias-stops-women-from-taking-charge/] https://bluesky-thinking.com/major-economic-crises-make-gender-diversity-in-leadership-difficult/ [https://bluesky-thinking.com/major-economic-crises-make-gender-diversity-in-leadership-difficult/] https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/intersectional-peer-effects-work-effect-white-coworkers-black-womens-careers [https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/intersectional-peer-effects-work-effect-white-coworkers-black-womens-careers]
