We are joined by the three hosts of the “Oh No You Didn’t!” podcast to explore three “pub debate” topics for both the music industry and the investment industry: 1) Were things really better “back in the day”? 2) Is the gap between amateurs and professionals narrower than before? 3) Are there too many people involved in the industry?

Episode 8: Solving the Rubik’s Cube (of sustainable investment)
How do you solve a multi-layered problem like sustainability? With so many connected parts, addressing one aspect at a time can result in your earlier good work coming undone. Drawing strategic inspiration from the Rubik’s Cube, Monique talks about the use of organisational processes and how solutions can be socialised across the industry with systems-level thinking. Just as it is satisfying when all the coloured squares line up, she describes how investors and organisations can see satisfying and lasting progress despite fast-changing sustainability needs.

Episode 7: Skill vs luck – a new way of assessing performance
Marisa and Tim introduce the Fundamental Attribution Framework developed by the TAI, which breaks down manager performance into elements that are based on skill (and hence repeatable) and those that are largely outside of the manager’s control. The underlying calculations are being released as open source code for free access by all industry participants.

What are the things to think about from an investment perspective?
