What would it take to keep (and bring back) the most creative and passionate people? Fully integrate communities and businesses in the design and delivery of public services, to the point where it’s impossible to draw a line between public and private.

What would it take to eliminate the financial burden? Switch from a constricting mindset to one of abundance. A place where dreams are sought, shared and realised.

What would it take to work in a culture of trust, mediation and celebration? Make “us and them”, grievances, whistleblowing and confrontation a thing of the past.
