Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

Seven elements in tackling complex problems in a work context (not necessarily in a linear order: all these elements are interconnected): 1. Step back to see the wider picture: we need to pull ourselves out of the details/specifics because of the interdependencies in big, complex problems: systems thinking, system mapping, soft systems &/or network analysis can help. 2. Get input from people with a wide range of experiences & expertise. 3. invest time & energy in external research: lessons learned in other organisations & the expertise of researchers, thought leaders & regulators. 4. Revisit our principles & values to help guide our approach as to how we are going to implement change. 5. Build our tolerance for uncertainty & risk: how can we learn, grow & more effectively navigate the increasing complexity of our world? 6. Create small scale tests of change to understand what might work. 7. Continuously learn, adapt & improve. plan.io/blog/solving-complex…. By @planio.

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) shows us where prejudice can lead when it is normalised and encouraged. Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. We also commemorate the millions more people murdered through the Nazi persecution of other groups, and in the more recent genocides recognised by the UK government, and the genocide in Darfur. Prejudice has not ended and there is much to do to create a better future. #HMD2025 #HolocaustMemorialDay
