What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities – New Zealand is their home – they are us.

Epic day at @WeCreateNZ inspired by @jacindaardern and talking about developing a vibrate creative sector in NZ. It’s quite analogous to the tech sector 10 years ago. Start with passion and exemplars, build capability and then let the world know all about it #NZCreativityCounts

Here's a short paper I wrote on NZ productivity and how to make it better. Please retweet - I'd love to start a conversation on this. And get in touch if you'd like me to come present/discuss. We don't have to put up with low productivity & wages in NZ. Cheers xitter.cf/NZprocom/status/101357…
