Mission Possible with Ann Braithwaite
Mission Possible with Ann Braithwaite
Podcast Description
The globe faces many challenges, but the only way to solve them is to put out heads together and utilise our collective intelligence. In this podcast, hosted by systems navigator and collective intelligence expert Ann Braithwaite, we look at how people are putting their heads together to tackle some of our gnarliest problems.
Season 1 is about Natural Hazards, which makes sense as Ann is from New Zealand, the second most natural hazard prone country on earth.

Before we leave you for this season, we wanted to do our part to help un-silo the sector – siloes being an issue all our guests highlighted. What better way to do that than to get a couple of guests together and generate some new connections and spark ideas?
In this episode of Mission Possible, host Ann Braithwaite brings together a couple of our favourite guests from season 1; Livia Hollins and Sam Ketley, to discuss innovative solutions for climate adaptation and natural hazards in New Zealand. They explore the importance of collaboration, the role of insurance in risk management, and the need for a systems approach to tackling complex challenges. The conversation emphasises the potential of collective action and the potential of an innovation hub to foster new ideas and solutions.
Ann Braithwaite is a systems navigator fascinated by the invisible potential hiding within our systems. She works with leaders to unleash that potential and find ways to make progress on our biggest challenges.
