Might need to take a few risks?
For the past few weeks, Sophie has been talking to Deanna Anderson who’s the Kaitohu of the Energy Academy which is working to grow our talent pool in support of a sustainable energy system.
Last week Deanna’s challenge was that our working environment was designed by men to enhance the productivity, well, of men – and whether that’s going to be ok?
This week, John throws the challenge of showing us what good looks like back to her …

Or will we attract and retain our future workforce as it is?
For the next few weeks, Sophie is talking to Deanna Anderson who’s the Kaitohu of the Energy Academy which is working to grow our talent pool in support of a sustainable energy system.
Last week Deanna and Sophie talked about the importance of reverse mentoring where younger workers may need to coach those who’ve been in the workforce for a while and how technology could change the way we pursue and manage productivity.

Who’s coaching who in the future?
For the next few weeks, Sophie is talking to Deanna Anderson who’s the Kaitohu of the Energy Academy which is working to grow our talent pool in support of a sustainable energy system.
Last week Deanna considered who our future role models might need to be and the need to be kind to those who find themselves leading organisations that look pretty different from the ones they started their careers in.

Keeping it appealing to everyone
So after 15 years cranking out my blog and podcast for Energy News, I’ve decided to use the platform to host some new voices and unconventional perspectives to shed some light on how we’re going to manage the energy transition. Sophie Burgess “the Accidental Energy Professional” is joining me on the journey.
For the next few weeks, we’re talking to Shelley Pearce who’s the Director of Engineering NZ’s rather wonderful Wonder Project, their free programme for schools, designed to get young Kiwis excited about science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
This week Sophie and Shelley talk about what Engineering NZ is doing to get non-traditional talent into the profession.

More common than you’d think
So after 15 years cranking out my blog and podcast for Energy News, I’ve decided to use the platform to host some new voices and unconventional perspectives to shed some light on how we’re going to manage the energy transition.
I’ve recruited some help to get me started: for the next few weeks, Sophie Burgess “the Accidental Energy Professional” and Esther Tomkinson who’s the co-Chair of the Young Energy Professionals Network will be joining me as we start the journey.
This week we get to know them both and the non-linear paths that they followed into the sector – which may provide a few clues about where we’re going to find the talent we’ll need to manage the challenges of the next decade.

Time to move over
So after 15 years cranking out my blog and podcast for Energy News, I’ve been wondering what to do next – most of the themes I’ve been following have played out and are quite mainstream these days: digital disruption, democratisation, exponential technologies, decarbonisation and market reform.
But I’ve a lot of loyal readers and listeners on the platform and it seems a bit daft just to pull up stumps and head off into the sunset. Talking it out, I’ve been encouraged to think that I can use the platform to host some new voices and unconventional perspectives to shed some light on how we’re going to manage the energy transition.

We’re talking to Anna Berka, a Massey University lecturer with an interest in community energy.
She was responsible for the incredible New Zealand Aotearoa Community Energy Dataset, a register of all local or community owned renewable energy initiatives in New Zealand that covers everything from consumer trust-owned networks to community and Iwi-owned renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
Wrapping up our three-month exploration of community energy, I ask Anna to get her crystal ball out and tell us what we can expect to see next.
She’s not too optimistic. Unusually I am …
