G'day this is Ken Simpson, and welcome to Episode 32 of Beyond the Black Stump.
Another month has come and gone, the last Friday of the month so we celebrate it as a Book Club episode.
But a book club with a difference, in that our author today has published a number of articles and blog posts - and is seeking to write a book. So we are just getting in early. After all the intent of book club is to encourage reading.
And on that note before we get into today’s conversation I just want to remind you that there is a full transcript of the interview available on the shows web site -http://Blackstump.FM
The link is active in the show notes on your podcast player.
The reason I made a point of reminding you about that at the top of the show is that there are some patchy parts of the audio today, and you might need to refer to the transcript to better understand the meaning.
My guest today brings learning and experience form the military into the corporate world of BC and resilience. Of particular interest to me is his focus on resilience as a cultural outcome. Our industry has been plagued with ex-military folks promoting their versions of command and control models for many years - but here are some different perspectives. Perspectives that are derived form research, as well as experience - and more importantly perspectives that are alive and shifting as the world moves.
Ideas and practices that adapt - might be a good way to describe preparations for improving resilience.
So join me as I discuss these ideas with Aaron Gracey.

Thanks for staying with us, and I hope the audio (and the accents) were not too hard to follow.
If there is anything here that you want to explore further, why not come over to the Black Stump LinkedIn community and join the discussion. I am sure we can get Aaron to engage in conversation with you. You can also go comment on any of his articles liked in the Show Notes.
Join me next week as I preview the Australasian BC Summit and give you a challenge to complete during the month.
