Framework Errors In Design and Action

The theory of change says its practice is straightforward. Practice suggests otherwise. Our frameworks fail us.

The finger-pointing to the moon is a model, not a truth. What happens when our models and frameworks become held as truths instead of guides? There’s an often rephrased Zen quote attributed to the Buddha that says: Do not confuse the finger pointing to the moon for the moon itself. Zen Phrase Often our models, frameworks, or even data are fingers pointing to real life. I’ve spent my career…

Resetting our Habits: A Design Challenge

Will, Intentions and Change

Will, Intentions and Change: Connecting them to create real change, not just words. #psychology #change

The Folly of Foresight

The Folly of Foresight - seeing the future means little if we can't develop and implement strategies to put knowledge into practice. My take. #foresight #futures

Seeing the road ahead isn’t the same as doing something to get there: it’s a lesson that foresight and strategy aren’t the same things

Seeing the future isn’t the same as meeting it with preparation.

“These lineups were scary” said one woman who had twice before attempted to get a COVID test at a Toronto-area testing centre. People were reporting waits of up to eight hours in places like…
