Effective coalition-building continues to be a focus for us and our clients. This week, we published the Coalitions Builders' Guide in partnership with The Aspen Institute. The guide shares what we've learned about the 'how' of effective coalition-building after interviewing dozens of coalition builders, leaders, and practitioners in climate and beyond. If you are thinking about forming a coalition, the guide can help clarify aspirations and lay the foundation for effective collaboration. If you are already running a coalition, it can help you sustain momentum. The guide can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/g_-ietMQ Thank you to Mikhael Cohen, Sarah Kurland, Derrick Barreiro, Claire Kesson, Nicolas Maitret, María Ortiz Pérez, Greg Gershuny, Ingrid Irigoyen and Taylor Goelz for bringing this work to life.

We're thrilled and proud that Saira Jesani will be guiding the Data & Trust Alliance into its future. Congratulations, Saira! https://lnkd.in/gP_7b_ds
Excited to share news about changes in the leadership of the Data & Trust Alliance. But first a bit of the back story... More than four years ago, Kenneth I. Chenault, Sam Palmisano and a small group of CEOs of leading companies anticipated the arrival of AI. They realized that business had to get it right -- both to unlock AI's value for business and society and to do so in ways that earn trust with all stakeholders. And they knew this could only be achieved through action -- through actual business practice, not pledges and white papers. That's how the Data & Trust Alliance formed in 2020 and this singular mission continues to guide our work. Today our 29 members include some of the most influential leaders in business across all industries, including American Express, AT&T, CVS Health, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Mastercard, Nike, Pfizer, Salesforce, UPS, Walmart and Warby Parker. The Alliance created the first algorithmic safeguards for use by HR functions to guide AI-supported workforce decisions, the first "new diligence" criteria for M&A teams to assess the value and risks of data- and AI-centric companies, and most recently the first cross-industry standards for data provenance, which are vital for AI trustworthiness. Today, we announced that Saira Jesani is succeeding me as Executive Director; I will become Executive Chairman. Saira has led all of the Alliance's projects over the past four years. She is thoughtful and tireless, collaborative and passionate about our mission. Under her leadership, the Alliance will only intensify and broaden the impact of its work, which is needed more than ever. Details about Saira and her background can be found in this article. https://lnkd.in/eXSUhw_k #responsibleAI #AI #genAI

Recently, The Aspen Institute Energy & Environment Program (EEP) and SYPartners joined forces to create a guide on Building #Coalitions. In the #climate space, the need for concerted and collaborative action has never been more apparent. While individual efforts are valuable, true potential for change lies in collective action toward a common goal: safeguarding our planet for #futuregenerations.

Our all-staff Homecoming last month was more than just skill-building and future-focused discussions—it was about connecting outside of the work. From our Greatness Games, a thrilling team relay, to our internal speaker series featuring colleagues' personal stories, in-person moments are essential for fostering strong relationships and a vibrant company culture, particularly for a hybrid organization such as ours. For ideas of how to increase connection, check out SYP Partner Carina Cortese piece, “3 rituals to increase connection in the workplace—no matter how you work”: (https://lnkd.in/gC83kBmE)

We all want to be more creative. But, we also need to be efficient. Our jobs (and capitalism) incentivize us for productivity. Our brains can default to the easiest path to an easy outcome. True creativity requires an open mind, risk-taking, and the possibility of failure, all of which can contradict our instincts and the momentum of productivity. If strategy is the oxygen for business, discovery is the oxygen for creativity. To truly innovate and create anew, we need both. What do we do?

Last month during our company-wide Homecoming, we took a refreshing “Seeing Tour” to Central Park. From group discussions to solo wanderings, stepping out of the office allowed us to observe the world around us and connect with colleagues in new ways. Sometimes, the best ideas and connections happen when we break from routine and enter a discovery mindset. Seeing Tours are one of our favorite methods to inspire and spark fresh perspectives.

Another highlight from last month's company-wide Homecoming was our ninth Learning Day, focused on climate action. As climate becomes a greater focus for us internally and with our clients, we took the opportunity of having everyone in NYC to host a panel with a stellar group of experts—Miranda Massie, Director of the The Climate Museum, Satish Rao, Chief Product Officer at Newlab, Matthias Muehlbauer of OnePointFive (opf.degree)—moderated by Alex Blumberg, co-founder of DaisyChain Energy and Gimlet Media. Thank you to our guests for a fascinating discussion, covering topics such as how to enable corporate action, effective ways to engender buy-in on sustainability, the business value of climate initiatives, and coalition-building for impact.

"As a designer, the shift from in-person work to hybrid work opened my aperture for how I express and practice design." SYPartners' hybrid working model allowed Senior Designer Ellen Rose to apply her design practice to new, unexpected creative outlets. (And as a result, she is featured on the latest season of "Diary of an Old Home" on HBO Max and Discovery+!)
It's hard to believe that it's been four years since I first started working remote/hybrid. Designers who also work from home—How does your home environment influence how you think about and practice design? Have you picked up any new creative outlets since working from home? #design #workfromhome #hybrid https://lnkd.in/gKdpKskG

Sue Walsh (Principal, Design at SYP and faculty at School of Visual Arts) on what is lost when we use AI:
Forty-five thousand years ago, someone drew a pig in a cave. Today we have a “rainbow everything with presents and strawberries and cats” by GPT and my four year old daughter. Making is fundamentally human. AI is an accelerant, churning out stuff that is useful, fast and easy. But does it produce meaning beyond utility? I can see AI's creeping influence on what we create (or prompt) and share, marching towards a visual monotony, making our individuality opaque. Van Gogh once said, “The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.” Would his relationship to creating art be different if he used “the right prompt”, rather than laboring through each day, finding his salvation through creating his art? If we outsource the act of making to AI, we must question what we are losing along the way.
