A Public Policy Framework

🔗 The Thought

Another doc prompted by something on LinkedIN - this one around a twenty year old doc called ‘Public Policy Framework for the New Zealand Innovation System’

I was curious as to

• how well we had done - not well.

• how well we could do - hard - but not impossible

• how much the analysis connected to my own experiences and thinking - a lot

While down here, I bang on this a lot - as do others. It never seems to take hold. For whatever reason(s).

Time To Self Medicate

🔗 The Thought

Is Silicon Valley a destination, or just part of the journey?

… and where is it anyway?

… oh and why, despite the best attempts, countries all over the world seem to fall short of replicating it.

Work Life Balance

🔗 The Thought

Chris Lockhead dropped a post on LinkedIN regarding retirement.

To me retirement is the macro version of the daily work-life balance.

It solves the wrong problem really well.

If you haven’t read 🔗📚 Ollie Henderson’s Future Work/Life you should. Excellent.

This particular quote reminds me of something that Jason Fried wrote in one of his books ..

New technologies tend to imitate the old until people figure out what they’re really meant to do. Early websites were brochures. Early cars looked like horse-drawn carriages. Early TV shows were radio shows with pictures.

💬 Jason Fried

So too work. We ‘broke’ work about 5 years ago - but slowly people (Corporates) are ‘fixing it’ (As in making us all go back to our old ways.) This is because they are still looking at work through the lens of the brochure/horseless carriage. It will be a while before we break it again - BUT - it will be broken but only once we have truly unpacked how the new world of work works.

I’ve got ideas. I’ve got people. I’m excited for the future.
