Canada needs a health-care system change incubator. With so many throughout the health-care field calling for change, a new approach is needed that will entertain all sorts of new ideas, by Steven Lewis https://t.co/eS5Mk8sFXJ via @TheStarPhoenix

Bluetooth is named after a one thousand year old Danish king with rotten teeth, and its logo is based on the Viking runes for his initials.

But that's all an accident - it was originally supposed to be called Personal Area Networking...

@HelenBevan I love this!! I would add flexibility - willingness to adjust course/reprioritize as new information is learned/solutions are trialled (see: that point about complexity!) @WeAreCoCreative

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

For effective system collaboration, we need: 1) Goal fitting the complexity/scale 2) Stakeholders representing system diversity 3) Analysis reflecting the complexity 4) Solution addressing multiple aspects 5) Timeframe that fits the nature of the challenge. Tnx @WeAreCoCreative

Have you ever noticed that the save icon is a floppy disk, even though they became obsolete twenty years ago?

That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it replaced.

And once you start to look, they're everywhere...

Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.

[Catherine Convery @CatConvery]
