She has written a book about the new landscape for business ethics, for Harvard Business Review Press called Higher Ground.

With ideas changing on what it means to be a good business, Alison Taylor says we need collective agreements on what is good and what is bad. And we need the right words to talk about these subjects. Her interview was part of our full story on activists and innovators in business.  

We talk about what is needed to be an ethical organisation, which according to her doesn’t exist without employee participation, understanding and belief that speaking up lines are actually real – and not just performance the senior leadership is putting on.

In fact, Alison sees a huge expansion in what employees want in terms of raising their voice, making their opinions felt having a role in shaping the values and priorities of the organization. So, why are organizations not responding very well tot his? And what should they be doing?

Listen to the full interview with Alison Taylor and hear about best practices by organisations who see the advantage of including employee voice and employee opinions.

Alison’s previous work experience includes being a Managing Director at non-profit business network Business for Social Responsibility and a Senior Managing Director at Control Risks. She holds advisory roles at ESG and risk consultancy Wallbrook and sustainability non-profit Business for Social Responsibility.

She has expertise in strategy, sustainability, political and social risk, culture and behavior, human rights, ethics and compliance, stakeholder engagement, anti corruption and professional responsibility. Alison received her Bachelor of Arts in Modern History from Balliol College, Oxford University, her MA in International Relations from the University of Chicago, and MA in Organizations Psychology from Columbia University.

Why Resistance is Necessary We see activism as a whole range of activities that change the priorities we work on. Insisting we talk about the real issues. This is about speaking truth to power. Starting with resistance and standing for our values and the possible future we envision. This is where activism crosses paths with innovation.

Kwame Ferreira, founder of Impossible and Tessa Wernink, co-founder of Fairphone & the Undercover Activist have been doing (social) innovation for a long time. More recently, they have been diving into activism and what it means for business.

We see that innovation without activism in the mix challenging the status quo, does not move the needle. It does not change the norm. Does that make activism a necessary ingredient to ensure innovation is not just benefiting the user but also other layers of the ecosystem?

In Part 1 of Season three, we move from entrepreneurs to intrapreneurs. From social innovators to activists. And question whether activism can speed up innovation for businesses to lead.

We speak to experts in the field of good business and leadership like Megan Reitz and Alison Taylor. And hear from employee activists and community organisers Christian Vanizette, Manuel Salazar, Gail Bradbrook and Desiree Fixler. Full Interviews with the speakers are on the Season 3 page

]]> Cynthia Wandia: Going the Extra Mile with Community Banking Tessa Wernink & Impossible 00:45:13 Cynthia Wandia is Co-founder and CEO of Kwara, a digital banking platform for savings and credit cooperatives, starting in Kenya. By digitising these community banks, Cynthia is showing how technology can be leveraged for communities who are often excluded from traditional banks. After studying electrical engineering and working in several different countries around the world, Cynthia set up Kwara in Kenya in 2018. It currently serves 28,000 members. In Kenya, mobile money is ubiquitous, and as more and more people own and can afford a mobile phone, payment options and innovations in business have reached a far greater number of people than ever before. But Kwara sees that simply introducing mobile payments is not enough to support people in ‘the last mile’. Cynthia and her team believe that the only really fair financial institution is the one that people build for themselves; something which humanity has been doing for centuries. Kwara’s aim is to help communities digitise so that they can own the benefits of technology that other sectors have been able to enjoy.

]]> Jona Christians: A Solar-Powered Drive Into A Co-Owned Future Tessa Wernink & Impossible 00:46:53 Jona Christians is the co-founder and CEO of Sono Motors. He is on a mission to build a community-supported enterprise that makes solar-powered electric vehicles accessible to everyone. He and his co-founders started their enterprise straight out of school; making good on Jona’s life-motto that changing things for the better often means taking matters into your own hands. The Sion, their second prototype, is more than a car. On the one hand, it is a sustainable mobility concept - free of fossil fuels. On the other, it aims to change the way we think about the role of mobility and the ubiquity of cars in our daily lives. With the car’s solar panels, it partly powers itself; and once fully charged, its bi-directional charging technology can power other devices. Its design promotes shared ownership and ride sharing. In 2019, when Sono Motors was looking for funding, the leadership decided to not go with investors, but instead turned to the community to pull together and co-invest in the future of the company. With the pre-sales of the Sion, they managed to raise 50 million euros in crowdfunding. Since then, they have continued working with the community via road shows to inviting design suggestions. Sono Motors’ disruptive and innovative approach is changing mindsets in the automotive industry and has won them several awards: namely, the Entrepreneur of the Year in 2020 from Ernst & Young, and Most Innovative Start-up in Mobility from Forbes.

]]> Carrie Chan: There Are Plenty More Fish In The Lab Tessa Wernink & Impossible 00:44:06 Carrie Chan is CEO and Co-founder of Avant Meats, a cultivated meat technology company based in Hong Kong. Carrie is a seasoned business leader with a passion for the environment, particularly for the impact of our food supply chains on the planet. After two decades of experience in delivering major real estate developments, and after becoming vegan, she turned her business acumen and her purpose to finding a solution to saving the fish in our oceans. Seafood is an important source of animal protein for China's inhabitants, as well as of great cultural importance. While there has been a movement to sustainable fish farming, Carrie and her team do not think it is enough. With their product, they want to show it is possible to serve people sustainable meat and protein without slaughtering animals. Avant Meats is China’s only cell-based food company, but it is far from the only company in this space globally. If it were up to business, these products would already be available on our supermarket shelves, but regulatory approval is still necessary to get there.

]]> Deborah Carter: Will our kids just consume technology or reimagine it? Tessa Wernink & Impossible 00:45:01 Deborah Carter is an education entrepreneur. Founder and Business Director of New Tech Kids and more recently, Managing Director and Initiator of Preparation Tech. Both enterprises share the aim of transforming children from passive technology users into tech builders and creators - making sure they are ready to be more than tech consumers, applying technology to shape the future. Deborah made the leap into entrepreneurship in 2014 when she started New Tech Kids, an Amsterdam-based academy for after-school technology education. Since the lockdown, she has been creating content to educate adult influencers - those who play a role in helping kids move through education and make study choices. The Preparation Tech platform uses storytelling from diverse voices to showcase a wide variety of study, training and career paths that intersect with technology. In this episode, I spoke with Deborah about the importance of mindsets and role models to imagine what futures are possible; and about the evolution of education and the possibilities of following a non-linear path. Deborah gives tips on how to inspire kids to not only consume, but to start developing technology and why you can’t start early enough when it comes to talking about ethics and tech.

What started as an industrial design project to create an affordable prosthetic leg system from recycled plastic, has since developed into an endeavour with enormous potential for social and ecological impact. Setting up the game-changing initiative that Project Circleg aims to be, means more than creating a good product. It means embracing complexity and taking the time to prototype not only the product, but extending this prototyping thinking to include the whole system.
