2020 & work options

Many teams are now approaching business and projects with specialised teams vs. general staff approaches. This has always been my opinion on how to best provide solutions to clients. It's got to be expertise being aligned based on the scope of work. I too have been part of such aggregated teams and sitting at a table of dedicated project expertise  is extremely stimulating. This is even with modern day professional preference in most sectors (except for medical and legal to name two fields) which leans towards a broad and generalised approach instead of a super specialised ..or dare I say a limited one.


It seems that

to know a little about a whole lot seems to be the new professional 'cool' that's here to stay.

New business models are fast becoming fluid in keeping with lean human capital  structures and simply appointing with the onboarding of new business. Much of these decisions are also based on strained economic impact on business and declined commercial development activities. Risk and sustainability remains central to decision making in the area of human capital numbers.

On the other hand, staff also prefer consulting type roles which lends to flexibility and self time management together with varied projects - keeping outcomes renewed and refreshed. This brings value to all parties.

So the question then becomes one of whether it is more financially beneficial to staff in taking on consulting roles instead of a permanent one.. which may or may not get you a year-end bonus ..and with risk equal to that of employer's of fulltime staff counts.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
