Articles on the past, present… and possible futures of strategy, design, tech, and social innovation
2022. What a massive year it’s been. It’s been another fun and meaningful year playing at the place where design, social innovation, and wellbeing meet.
This week 30 years ago was a major milestone in my life. A couple of days after my 17th birthday, I left school and started my first job. Three decades of adventures and learning!
April blurred by with the end of daylight savings, school holidays, three short weeks, and a lot of events. Here are some of my highlights.
Earth Day 2022. Business has a role to play in fighting climate change by centring climate justice, listening first, and then taking action. #BusinessForClimateJustice
Happy Festivus… for the rest of us. Counter to the Festivus tradition of airing grievances, I’m going to air some wins and things I’m grateful for to celebrate.
Dynamic & adaptable is the fourth of Dynamic4’s values – or guiding principles. Tomorrow is our 20th birthday. Being dynamic and adaptable is key to being around that long.
Dynamic4 stands with WWF and over 100 proactive businesses calling for investment in Australia’s renewable future to become a #RenewablesNation. #UnitedWeShine
I recently had a fun chat with Mike Saville on the Green Elephant Show for B Corp Month talking about the intersect of B Corps, social enterprise, human-centred design/design thinking & innovation!
Dynamic4 is proud to be the digital partner for Smart Locale. Smart Locale is a collective impact program, initially focusing on the Ultimo Pyrmont precinct in Sydney. The mission is “Accelerate the transformation of the Ultimo Pyrmont local economy into an internationally recognised showplace for smart, safe, sustainable living by 2020.”
It’s been a tough week. One of those weeks you kind of fear in the deep recesses of your mind but don’t give oxygen to, can’t afford to dwell on or you’d be paralysed with doubt.
Good Local will be a community and marketplace enabled by a digital platform to promote and map sharing services, making them easier to find and access.
The concept I’ve decided to explore further is ways we might encourage people to ease up a bit on the mindless consumption cycle. A possible way may be to increase the awareness and adoption of existing local sharing services.
Dynamic4 is a social enterprise and certified B Corp focused on design & innovation for happier communities.
Dynamic4 is located on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to First Nations Elders past, present, and emerging across Australia – and recognise their connection to this land, sky, waterways, and community.
We acknowledge the resilience, knowledge, and wisdom of the oldest living culture on our planet and we’re committed to collaboration that furthers self-determination and creates a better future for all.
We’d love to have a chat to see how we can work together.
