Seeking investment interest in Newlands, Wellington PROBONO

My 3 favourite quotes and how I am trying to be a part of the solution.

My favourite quotes are…

“Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.” Martin Luther King, Jnr.

“We think we're much more rational than we are and that we make our decisions because we have good reasons to make them. Even when it's the other way around. We believe in the reasons, because we've already made the decision”. Daniel Kahneman.

Whatever decisions are made by Government and Industry it is communities that need to live with them. So, we need more resilient, suburbs, districts and regions. The more resilient they are the more they can speak with their local voices providing local intelligence  to inform Government and Industry decisions. “Confidential Source”

My BDBO approach is a systematic, rationale, relational and holistic way of thinking to make better decisions for better outcomes.

We are seeking initial investment before we actively engage with residents over a six-month period.

I have applied (parts of ) BDBO with the local leaders of Newlands, here. We are seeking minor initial investment before we actively engage with residents over a six-month period and then a more significant investment to implement the preferred solution. If you know of anyone who would be interested in investing, please email me at rodney@acorn-resilience.org. I can provide our place-based business case.
