  • Ticket to ride winning strategies – weekend engineering works

    This week’s Weekend Engineering Works post is about Ticket to Ride winning strategies. The game involves racing against other players to build a network of railway lines across different counties and continents. What I find exciting about the game is the recreation of an age of bold and adventurous engineering: the railway era. I particular enjoy building routes that I have travelled down in real life. But what I enjoy most is dreaming up winning strategies, and then testing them out.

    In this post I describe my few of my more successful Ticket to Ride wining strategies. Alongside, as you might expect from this blog, I’ve also provided some wider musings on their philosophical implications.

    #16 Bengt Cousins-Jenvey – How to save a million tonnes of carbon – shownotes

    Bengt is a consultant and ‘re-designer’, working in sustainability and circular design in the built environment. This year we are working together to create training in response to the climate emergency. In this interview I ask Bengt about his big question: what single thing can you do to save a million tonnes of carbon. Exploring this question we get into:

    • High-level strategies for accounting for carbon that help avoid getting stuck in the detail.
    • Using culture-change models to guide organisations as they respond to declaring a climate emergency.
    • Thinking frameworks that help consultants engage with the businesses they are supporting.
