Goodness me, Dan — you are a true inspiration. What screams through is your humility and collaborative approach to this challenge.
May I say that these skills are sorely needed across business and Government?
I applied to Clare Curren and Frances Valintine’s Digital Economy group and I have a small anecdote to add to yours. My application was rejected — but they chose to create an ecosystem of rejects like me as a broader participatory support team.
When they published their first mini-vision for a Digital Future for NZ I asked if I could publicise the slides…. MBIE replied that nobody had asked that… and that yes, I could. So I did. And here it is. Optimal Future for Digital Aotearoa New Zealand.
And yet, isn’t it symptomatic of the lack of collaboration and inclusion (two more words you use so carefully and with such gravitas) that none of the Group or the Civil Servants supporting had thought that a public comms strategy was needed as part of the group’s remit?
