Dr Orit Gal is an entrepreneur, advisor, and senior lecturer in Strategy & Complexity at Regent’s University London. She specialises in analysing trends and identifying potential for systemic change within complex environments. Her extensive experience includes collaborations with tech startups, non-government organisation, innovative policy think-tanks, and corporate market research. Her current research focuses on the future of cities, exploring the interplay between technological efficiency, social friction, and the inherent serendipity of urban life. Having the opportunity to closely observe decision-makers operating in messy, dynamic, and highly complex environments, she has focused her work on exploring the intersection between complexity science and operational design.
Her website is called Social Acupuncture which explains and teaches Complexity Science, with a mission to break down obstacles and push through change. Whether running a city, an organisation, or a social campaign, the greatest challenges standing in your way are always complex, says Orit. Involving numerous players and constrained by multiple interdependent forces, they form systemic patterns that are seemingly impossible to break. Tackling them requires creative new approaches that not only address their complex nature but are uniquely designed to take advantage of it.
To find out more, join Dr Orit Gal with Humphrey Hawksley at 1pm British time on Tuesday November 19th 2024 on the Goldster Magazine Show.
goldster.co.uk/book-ahead-events/the-goldster-magazine-show-with-humphrey-hawksley-and-dr-orit-gal/ 15 use-titleAngela van Breemen is a soprano soloist, a poet, a wildlife activist and she has just published her first novel. For those Goldster creative writers, how does that feel? Past Life’s Revenge is a crime thriller with a twist of surrealism. Since childhood, David Harris has suffered from debilitating nightmares. He has sought the advice of psychiatrists and other health professionals without obtaining any relief. When he meets an attractive young psychic, Emma Jackson, she encourages him to seek the help of her friend Anna Tungsten, a hypnotherapist. As the story unfolds from here, David realises he had to exact revenge and stop a murderer from killing again. Angela has recently released her first album In the Breezewith lyrics drawn from her poetry. But how does anyone blend a love for dark psychological drama with the melody of Celtic music. And if the red squirrel is the most endangered and the Scottish Wildcat the rarest species in Britain, what are their counterparts in Ontario, Canada. To find out all this and more, join Angela van Breemen with Humphrey Hawksley at 1pm Tuesday December 3rd 2024 on the Goldster Magazine Show.
goldster.co.uk/book-ahead-events/the-goldster-magazine-show-with-humphrey/ 15 use-titleDr Barry Webb is a literary scholar with a wealth of knowledge on numerous authors, spanning multiple genres and eras. With a profound understanding of the power of literature, he has a knack of guiding readers below the surface of the chapters and sentences to show how the art of writing can bring things so vividly to life –- whether modernism, post-war fiction, literary biography or a solid cosy crime whodunnit. He is specifically known for his deep exploration of 20th Century fiction, and Barry’s recent focus has been on the mostly forgotten, but once highly praised novelist R.C. Hutchinson who wrote between 1930 and 1971. He gained a reputation for an evocative writing style, creating complex characters and opening an intriguing window into the human condition. Yet, despite being awarded TheSunday Times Gold medal for fiction, the W.H.Smith award for the best novelist of the year, being short-listed for the Booker Prize, and several of his seventeen novels becoming best-sellers, Hutchinson’s name has not withstood the test of time compared to his contemporaries. How exactly does this unpredictable world of writing actually work. Ask Barry about any of your favourite authors whether they be Richard Osman, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen or Patricia Highsmith of The Talented Mr Ripley fame. Why do some endure, like Shakespeare and Chaucer, and why do some vanish from our conversation. To get answers, join Barry Webb with Humphrey Hawksley on the Goldster Magazine Show at 1pm British time on Tuesday December 10th 2024.
