TalentNZ Workshop at the NZ Community Boards Conference - 15 and 16 May 2015McGuinness Institute
We recently ran a TalentNZ session at the New Zealand Community Boards Conference in the Bay of Islands (15 and 16 May 2015). The theme of the Conference was ‘Influencing Change’, and it brought together local community board members, mayors, councillors, council staff and other persons who are interested in making a difference in their communities from throughout the country. Our session discussed the role of strategy and why a focus on creating a place where talent wants to live will deliver optimal outcomes for New Zealand. During the session we gave participants five worksheets to further develop their thinking around creating a talent-based economy in their communities. These worksheets are available on our website www.mcguinnessinstitute.org

StrategyNZ: Mapping our Future presentation: World Future Society Conference,...McGuinness Institute
This presentation covers the StrategyNZ: Mapping our Future event hosted by the Sustainable Future Institute in March 2011 in Wellington.
This presentation was delivered by Wendy McGuinness, Dr Peter Bishop, Rory Sarten and Jess Prendergast at the World Future Society Conference in Vancouver 2011.
On Wednesday, 5 October 2016 Wendy McGuinness spoke at the University of Auckland's politics hour.
The theme of the discussion was regarding the ethical dilemmas faced by policy advisors. Speakers were encouraged to share their experience or advice with students regarding how to be an 'ethical' policy adviser.
The ultimate aim of this session was to inspire students, but to also highlight the challenges that lie ahead, and allow students an insight into how political practitioners can achieve change but sometimes have to compromise.
StrategyNZ is a McGuinness Institute project that began in early 2006. The overall aim is to contribute to a discussion on how to improve long-term strategic thinking and strategy stewardship in both the private and the public sector. To learn about the history and methodology of this project, see http://strategynz.info/.
Wendy McGuinness recently spoke on a panel about civics, citizenship and political literacy run by a working group from the New Zealand Political Studies Association.
The Baby Box Co. donated baby boxes to Project TacklingPovertyNZ. The McGuinness Institute gave a baby box to the community at each of the one-day TacklingPovertyNZ workshops.

How to understand a global technology eraKazuaki ODA
”How to understand a global technology era”
Nagoya University Mathematics School, 16th April (Fri), 2021
Lecture series "Science-major Person's Career and Potentials in the Global Technology Era"(No.1)
Over the last two centuries technological innovation has played a fundamental role in economic development, wealth creation and social progress. Spain has not played and do not play today a leading role in the field. Since the advent of democracy in 1978, the country has undergone a remarkable economic and social transformation. However, it has not been enough to substantially reduce the income gap it maintains with the most advanced economies in the world. We wonder why and we briefly explore some historical clues.
More fundamentally, we question what changes would be necessary and whether this situation might even change in the future. Two documents presented by the Spanish government in 2021, “Spain 2050” and ‘Spain Entrepreneurial Nation,” look forward to an entrepreneurial nation by 2030. They are based on rigorous state-of-the-art policy and economic analysis. However, we are facing a world systemic change of paradigm, a (Great?) socio technical transition, and successful models that worked in the previous system might not work in a new one. Furthermore, macroeconomic projections do not consider the strategic interaction among different players in a conflicting world. It is necessary to review some accepted premises and dive under the superficial “litany.”
Our objective is to understand the key forces driving change, and the most important factors and levers available to a meaningful player in the game. We use a country, Spain, as a test and showcase, but our objective is to outline a high level, holistic model inspired by scenario planning and game theory to study future adaptive strategies for a country, corporation or even a global organization in the evolving socio techno economic system of the next 25-50 years.
How will our children, grand children and great grand children be living? What policies, research and investments do they need us to make today to make their lives better tomorrow? A team of over 50 scientists and business analysts in CSIRO identified five megatrends, several megashocks and two scenarios for the next 20 years. A megatrend is a pattern of environmental, social and/or economic activity with profound implications for how we live. Megashocks are sudden, hard to predict, single events. Scenarios are a mix of science fiction and science fact and explore how the trends and shocks might play out into an uncertain future.
Based on Erik Reinert, How Rich Countries Got Rich ... and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor (2007), London: Constable, Chapter 8: “Get the economic activities right”, or, the Lost Art of Creating Middle-Income Countries. Further discussion on how to make upper-middle income county out of middle-income trap. And how to synchronize different aspect on developmental policy in modern era.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Editor's Notes
Importance of thinking creatively – logic will only get us so far. Focus on long-term thinking – it’s hard to think!
Cabinet decision in 2001 to create an NSDS, but as yet New Zealand does not have one. See SF Report 1: A National Sustainable Development Strategy: How New Zealand Measures Up Against International Commitments (2007) Source (image): Wendy McGuinness
Think Grey – as in grey matter (brains) – Edward De Bono Analyse the past, design the future Design seeks value Logic – what is? Design – What could be? Perception- What is the context? Importance of Perception: 5 year old boy in Australia, one dollar and two dollar coin, two dollar is smaller. Given a choice between a one or two dollar to keep, the 5 year old always chose the one dollar coin – why – Perception. See Edward De Bono – ‘Think Before its Too Late’ - page 139 Notes Step 1: Gather data Step 2: Discern the patterns in the data in order to transform into info Step 3: Translate into strategic knowledge that can be used to your competitive advantage – to develop a strategy. The strategic thinker finds strategic knowledge in the complex and chaotic data stream of everyday living. Data and info have no value unless acted upon

Every generation needs to answer two questions: What is possible and what is acceptable? Its our watch to protect mankind – like in the Gettysburg address - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - 1865 The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

His father, Pōtatau Te Wherowhero, was the leader of the Waikato people. In 1858 Pōtatau was installed as the first Māori King, his purpose being to promote unity among the Māori people in the face of Pākehā encroachment.Pōtatau died in 1860 and was succeeded by Tāwhiao who reigned for thirty-four years during one of the most difficult and discouraging periods of Māori history. During this period there were de jure two governments; English law and governance prevailed within the British settlements and Māori law or custom over the rest of the country. However the Pākehā population was increasing rapidly while the Māori population was either static or declining. This was also the period when the British felt they had a manifest destiny to rule the world. The presence of an independent native state was seen by many as intolerable particularly as it occupied most of the territory of the North Island and thus had the potential to undermine the colonial government's sovereignty.In 1863 on very slim pretexts and in defiance of the Treaty of Waitangi the Colonial Government, backed by some fourteen thousand Imperial troops, invaded the Waikato, King Tāwhiao's territory. The Waikato people put up a strong defence but inevitably were forced to retreat. The conquered land was confiscated, altogether about a million acres (4,000 km²).Tāwhiao and his people moved southwards, into the territory of the Ngāti Maniapoto, the area of New Zealand that is still known as the King Country.

It is about composition – By 2058; New Zealand is becoming more diverse. Reduction of 20% in 50 years, with the reduction taken up by Asian, Pacific and Maori in that order. We are getting older. Median age from 36 to 44 years of ag. We are getting bigger. A staggering 63% of New Zealanders are currently overweight or obese Source (graph): Sustainable Future Think Piece 5: Hard Work. Source (data): Statistics NZ (see above Think Piece) But we also have internal changes that we must consider and manage. We have an increasingly culturally diverse society (see Figure 1). Extrapolated out, this means by 2058 we could see a reduction in ‘European and other’ population by 20%, with the reduction being taken up by Asian, Pacific and Maori, in that order. Within this dynamic, we are facing two demographical challenges. Based on the above, we believe New Zealand not only has ‘hard work’ to do, but that the term ‘hard work’ needs to be redefined. As to our location on the evolutionary path, one speaker at the 2008 World Futures Conference discussed the concept that we are entering ‘adolescence’ – with all the trials and tribulations of facing reality. The time when Mother Earth provided abundantly for our inexhaustible wants and needs is now over, and we are learning that it is our time to make hard choices and learn important lessons about our future – which brings me to the point of this Think Piece–the ‘hard work’ ahead. To the rest of the world, New Zealand will increasingly seem to be the bounty in a resource constrained world. New Zealand is a relatively young country, but a relatively old inclusive democracy (New Zealand being amongst the first to adopt Universal Suffrage). We are ‘natural resources’ rich; we have abundant arable land per capita, an extensive coastline, large fishing grounds (EEZ) and territorial sovereignty over an area of Antarctica known as the Ross Sea Region (which is 17 times the size of New Zealand). In short, New Zealand benefits from a small population, and a resource-rich territory. We will further explore our natural resources in a report and Think Piece later this year. To summarise, New Zealand will become increasingly the pearl in the Pacific and the Pacific will increasingly be a sanctuary in a dangerous world. Firstly, we are getting older. Over the next 50 years our population will increase only slightly but we will be living longer, resulting in a significant increase in our median age from 36 to 44 years of age (see Figure 2) Secondly, we are getting bigger. A staggering 63% of New Zealanders are currently overweight or obese (see Figure 3). An unhealthy, aging population is a serious concern, considering that our workforce sits in the top third of the OECD, in terms of average number of hours worked per week.

This is an increase of 144,177 people, or 12.4 percent, since the 2001 Census. Its population ranks 1st in size out of the 16 regions in New Zealand. Auckland Region has 32.4 percent of New Zealand's population. North and South Island population The population of the North Island continues to grow at a faster rate than that of the South Island. An estimated 3,047,900 people lived in the North Island at 30 June 2003, an increase of 56,100 or 1.9 percent from 30 June 2002, while the resident population of the South Island grew by an estimated 14,300 people or 1.5 percent over the same period to reach 961,600 people. These growth differentials led to a further concentration of New Zealand's population in the North Island. At 30 June 2003, the North Island was home to 76.0 percent of New Zealand residents , up from 75.3 percent at 30 June 1996.
