Wildlife Studios’ Post

As part of our ongoing pro-bono consulting initiative, "Pop-Up" Consulting, last week the Q5 team supported Wildlife Victoria to define their organisational values. Thanks to Daniel Farley and Lisa Palma and the broader team for having us; Wildlife Victoria do instrumental work in protecting our Australian wildlife, and it was really rewarding to play a very small role in supporting the team to continue to do the important work that they do. Our purpose at Q5 is all about "building healthier organisations to propel people, economies and society forward", our pop-up consulting initiative is a small way in which we try and help push society forward, through building better organisations. #Q5 #managementconsulting #values

🐧💙 It's World Penguin Day! Why is Medrio celebrating you may ask? First of all, we're committed to advancing research for animal health and well-being, and that includes penguins! But mainly, because penguins are an icon of Medrio's culture. At Medrio, a "penguin" refers to a recent stumble that we had throughout the week. And on weekly standup calls, we nominate ourselves as "penguins," recognize our mistakes, and create a greater sense of accountability, openness, and trust among our teammates. Help us celebrate penguins and create more authenticity in the workplace! 👉 What's a "penguin" you've had recently?

My new paper with Carlos Monterrubio & Kate Dashper has just been published in the International Journal of Heritage Studies. Through an ethnographic study of Charrería – a form of rodeo that is the national sport in Mexico – we look at heritage not as something fixed, but as a living process that keeps changing because of the people & communities involved. Going beyond anthropocentric interpretations, we explore how heritage often includes other species too. In this particular case, changing global ideas about animal ethics are likely to impact upon the social licence to operate of Charrería, but also upon its status & preservation as heritage. 🐴 https://lnkd.in/esVbdxAA #Charreria #MexicanHeritage #interspecies

The cheetah is the fastest land animal but it can NEVER successfully compete with the slowest bird in the air. A cheetah can't fly. It can only run. LAND is the cheetah's DOMAIN. AIR is the bird's DOMAIN. When you operate from your DOMAIN/STRENGTHS, you could become a king. But when you operate outside your DOMAIN/STRENGTHS, you can only become second-best at most, throw yourself into endless competitions & comparisons, and maybe feel unfulfilled/worn-out. You can never successfully compete with and win a person who is a MASTER OF HIS DOMAIN! Discover your DOMAIN/ STRENGTHS, today. Gain MASTERY and rule your territory! • #moseschibueze

Happy Shamu The Whale Day! 🐳 🐋 Shamu was more than just an icon of the marine world! For decades, she amazed audiences with her incredible performances and created an emotional connection with people around the globe. But as we all know, times change, and the world evolves. 🐳 In the same way, the business landscape constantly shifts, and organisations must adapt to remain relevant. SeaWorld, however, serves as a poignant example of what happens when adaptation is resisted. They clung to outdated practices, focusing solely on entertainment and profit, oblivious to the growing concerns of animal welfare and environmental impact. 🐋 But here's the lesson we can all learn from Shamu's story: the ability to adapt, evolve, and embrace change is crucial for success in today's interconnected world. 🐳 Brands MUST be able it IDENTIFY and STAY CONNECTED to your customers, to understand when their audience has shifted expectations, values, and demands. 🐋 Activating your First Party Data is key to this and what we do better than anyone else! #Daysoftheyear #Adaptation #Change #Leadership #Empathy #Legacy #SeaWorld #Shamu (Image is of a wild orca, f*** Seaworld)

With a relatively new executive director and some significant changes in the aftermath of the Covid-19 disruptions, Great Lakes Aquarium staff and stakeholders were eager to move out of survival mode and into a phase of new growth in early 2022.
