How do you send a message to someone 10,000 years in the future? It’s not a question I’d imagine most of us think about every day. Even the people who have Futurologist in their job title, or work on the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (Wales) probably don’t stretch to 10,000 years in the future […]
The Hawthorn Effect and ‘Cleaning the House’ before important visitors arrive.
What do you do when people aren’t watching you? This might be a post about the difference between EPISODIC regulation and something that has more of an ANTHROPOLOGICAL feel to it. Let see how it goes… Alternatively, if none of that makes any sense, how about this question, What do you do before your Mother/Father-in-law […]
IMAGINE – everyone working towards a common aim, the benefit of Future Generations. #ChurchillFellowship Post12

However, deep down you are wondering; “what on earth does that even mean?”, “how do we stick a project review action plan […]
Does involving Service Users lead to better decisions? A case for Co-production?
This is the third in a series of posts (second one here) about some work using SenseMaker to get a better understanding of attitudes to risk. This final post explains how we used SenseMaker in a new way for us, looking at X-Y plots and possible correlations between data sets. It is very much […]
Safe to Fail Pilots, Well Managed Risk, Context is Everything and a bit of SenseMaker
I don’t usually mix work and what I write here (well not in any sort of way that is too obvious). For the next three posts I’m crossing the line. These posts are all about some work using SenseMaker to get into the area of attitudes towards risk. In particular how ‘well manged risk’ works […]
Blowing Up Hospitals Deliberately – Change Doesn’t Get Much Bigger
How about this for an act of ‘transformation’. Publicly blow up (yes, with explosives) one of your cherished Civic Buildings. Not some ugly multi-storey concrete carpark. No, go for a Hospital; a large, relatively new one, in the middle of a City. Now that screams ‘TRANSFORMATION’…….things will never be the same again. I know that […]
