Facets Defragmenting the Discourse

Introducing 'Facets'

Welcome to Facets, the podcast that aims to defragment economic transformation and explore how theory is being put into practice. This podcast is part of the digital companion to Diamond Economics. Facets dives into the business models, the ownership structures, and the social and technological innovations necessary for systemic change. We go beyond economic transition to examine the leverage points—practical interventions, structural changes, and ultimately supporting a paradigm shift—that can create profound, long-lasting impact. At the heart of these discussions is the DREAM framework, representing the Who, What, Where, When and Why of a Paradigm Shift - guiding us to understand: * DOMAINS: The D of DREAM represents the 'Where' - the domains where transformation takes place, geographical, technological, sectoral, technological and socio-cultural. * RESOURCES: The R in DREAM represents the 'What' - The tangible and intangible Resources and the innovation, strategies, policies and economic incentives to maintain them at their highest societal value. * EVENTS:  The E in DREAM represents the ‘When’ . The events and processes where value is either created, maintained, or diminished. * AGENTS: The A in DREAM represents the ‘Who’, and that includes you as one of the many diverse individuals, organisations and communities that are driving change. * MISSION: The M in DREAM represents the ‘Why’, The Purpose to foster a regenerative, inclusive and equitable economy. Episodes will feature insightful discussions, expert interviews, and real-world examples showcasing how the right leverage points can shift our economic systems from inequitable and resource-intensive practices to balanced, resilient structures. Whether you are an entrepreneur, an industry leader, an investor, a practitioner, a policymaker, academic, or are simply curious about driving systemic change, Facets aims to provide comprehensive insights into transformative processes rooted in Diamond Economics. Join us as we navigate the pathways to a more equitable and sustainable future, utilising these leverage points to unlock the potential of economic transformation.
