The highest form of diversity is a diversity of perspectives. Now, how we reach that highest form of diversity is up for debate, I guess.  I like to think that we can get there by hiring fully qualified people who come from diverse cognitive, emotional and development backgrounds. By focusing on gender you’re missing the point and seem to be diversity washing while the problem remains the same - the veneer of improvement without the substance.

Lovely winter fruit.

First vaccine shot booked! First available appointment is three weeks away 😟

I’ve followed the work of @kouroshdini for years and for me his work on productivity and the GTD® method is par excellence.

HBR (sponsored by PWC) has a useful survey on #cyber #risk #quantification

I had the great fortune to experience @BarryOshry in person in July 2015. He’s done much to share his passion for turning system blindness to system sight. Currently reading: Context, Context, Context: How Our Blindness to Context Cripples Even the Smartest Organizations by Barry Oshry 📚

How is it possible that the Australian vaccine authorities did not foresee the need for a scalable, online vaccine appointment booking system? 🤦‍♀️

I’ve reread The Fractal Organisation several times and always seem to find something new to appreciate everytime. #VSM #StaffordBeer

Finished reading: The Fractal Organization: Creating sustainable organizations with the Viable System Model by Patrick Hoverstadt & Lucy Loh 📚

The recent whitepaper from ISACA on #cyber #risk quantification is a useful read.

Practices of Dynamic Collaboration by @jandevisch & Otto Laske is the book that’s really made me aware how sense and meaning making are influenced by developmental, emotional and cognitive maturity.

Currently reading: Practices of Dynamic Collaboration: A Dialogical Approach to Strengthening Collaborative Intelligence in Teams (Management for Professionals) by Jan De Visch 📚

I have a great passion and curiosity for #SystemsThinking and the practical application of the canon of work. I had always intuitively recognised #systems, #complexity and #cybernetics, perhaps that’s my superpower, but delving deeper into the subject and joining the wider community has been priceless. I continue my journey always with an open mind, plenty of curiosity and a willingness to always be learning.

“error message: too many failed authorizations recently.” when you try and do things quickly and end up realising you should have definitely used the staging environment that has liberal failed validation limits. Ho hum.

My mind boggles that I can listen in real-time to @falklandsradio even when I’m 9800+ km away.

Today was the first time in 45 years that I had the chance to use the word ‘trapezoidal’ in written correspondence. I feel closer to life being complete 😀
