@charlie_psych I think it confuses people when the organisation's machines improve in a mechanistic way. They want that level of certainty and control elsewhere.

Relationships, exploration and emergence are better ways forward in complex human situations. Including those around the machines.

..early stage technologies. Stories of failure in trials for 3d printing don't capture the capabilities of current mature technologies. Boosting positive perceptions reframes the tech as a symbol of opportunity and creative potential.

Overall, a great morning at @OldhamCollege

Great to see patients and carers are to be supported as leaders for healthcare innovations. Direct experience of the need and struggles is a strong position to start from.

[Health Innovation Wessex 💙 @HIWessex]

Are you interested developing skills and joining a network of innovators and entrepreneurs?

Nice to hear some approval for middle management who've been forgotten a bit recently.

The space between those leading and those doing is where we need these facilitators.

This article links our #frictionproject to middle managers--who are essential if their motivations are right

Some are grease people, others gunk people: "A grease person is someone who makes it easier; a gunk person is somebody who gums up the work”

Where do you go to feed your brain creatively?

@andybudd finds himself manufacturing serendipity on social media platforms, or simply just finding like-minded people to make connections.

Connections are the foundation of growth and success.

[Peter J Emms @peterjemms]
