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

TacklingPovertyNZ Sustaining and Empowering Factors FrameworkMcGuinness Institute
At each of the TacklingPovertyNZ 2016 national tour workshop, participants were asked to develop specific, actionable suggestions for how to address poverty. As a result of the tour’s six workshops, 240 ‘hows’ were identified. In the process of reviewing the ‘hows’, we created the Sustaining and Empowering Factors Framework. This framework enabled us to divide the 240 ‘hows’ to correspond with sustaining factors (which relate to an individual’s short-term survival and security needs) and empowering factors (which relate to the empowerment of an individual, community or nation). We then grouped these ‘hows’ by similarity, producing 33 sub-factors for analysis. The sub-factors are terms we have created to align with the voices we heard on tour.

Task Force On Sustainable Lifestyles PresentationTom Gater
Lifestyles are part of our identity; people express their social position, political preferences and psychological aspirations to others through them. Lifestyles define and differentiate us. They are the way we live our lives.
Lifestyles are shaped by a whole host of factors. Their roots are in culture, politics, economics and social norms. For sustainable lifestyles to enter our cultures and societies, to become part of our everyday life, they must be developed at all levels. They need to be enabled and encouraged by the social and technical systems and institutions that surround us. People will only swap their car for public transport if there’s an efficient and cost-effective public transport system.
This gives an outline of how I think sustainable development should work - and the type of questions it generates for each of the main areas of policy.
Foresight tools help us brainstorm ideas about the future so we are better prepared for the opportunities and challenges that may arise. It provides the ability to forward engage, interacting early before issues become difficult to manage.
This booklet – the first of three in the series – outlines 20 foresight tools to throw into the mix, while you walk forward into the future.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

27. Purpose of Public Policy
To help people live the kinds of lives they have
reason to value …
… by increasing their opportunities and
capabilities, and incentives, to contribute to
economic and social life, and benefit from their
contributions.

Sustainability of well-being over time
Individual well-being
• Income
• Wealth
• Employment
• Leisure
• Education/Skills
• Health
• Trust
• Security
• Environment
• Subjective well-being
Treasury’s Living Standards Framework
30. Sustainable Increase in Wellbeing requires an
Integrated Approach to Environmental, Social and Economic to Policy
7
31. Stylised Model
• Wellbeing is a function of a marketable consumer good, as well as
leisure and good health – and a set of outcomes with “public
good” attributes – clean environment, social cohesion, equity
(across society and generations), sustainability, and resilience to
major economic, social and environmental shocks.
• Sources of wellbeing are the capital assets that comprise
“comprehensive wealth” – economic, human, natural and social
capital.
• These capital assets influence wellbeing both directly, and
indirectly through the production function.
31
32. Stylised Model (continued)
• Production of the single consumable, and internationally tradeable,
good uses both clean technology (using skilled labour) and dirty
technology (using unskilled labour).
• A very important source of the growth potential of an economy is
productivity growth underpinned by science-based innovation.
• Innovation-embodying human and physical capital can be generated
through domestic investment or by importing them from the rest of
the world.
• International human and economic capital are attracted to the small
open economy because of its relatively high quality of life (reflecting
its physical environment and social cohesion), and its offer of
relatively high material wellbeing.
32
33. Policy Framing
• Purpose of policy is to enhance wellbeing on a sustainable and equitable
basis.
• Sustainability should be framed in terms of the sustainability of wellbeing,
not of individual capital stocks (or aggregations of capital stocks such as
natural capital etc).
• Capital stocks are often substitutes for each other in the generation of
wellbeing (both across broad categories and within categories)
• The focus of policy therefore should be on ensuring that there are
mechanisms to encourage the optimum use of (and investment in)
combinations of capital stocks (both across and within categories) towards
generating sustainable wellbeing [i.e. “comprehensive investment” (or
“genuine savings”)].
33
34. Policy Framing (continued)
• This is not to deny the existence of critical levels for all ecosystems –
environmental, social and economic – these are complementary in
nature.
• Moving from the quantitative notion of the limits to growth based on
the scarcity of natural resources (or natural capital stocks), to the
criticality of preserving the regulatory systems of natural capital.
• Focus on the climate system (global warming) and biodiversity as
critical and complex systems of regulatory functions.
• Very significant intergenerational considerations.
34
35. Poverty
• Poverty is a complex construct which is not just
about the income a household has access to; it
includes whether households have adequate
resources that meets basic needs.
• Poverty is about exclusion.
• The Treasury’s advice emphasises that living
standards are enhanced if everyone has the
capability and opportunity to participate in society.
It is assumed that if people do not have their basic
needs met they do not have adequate capabilities
and opportunities to participate.

Inclusion: lifting
outcomes for
disadvantaged
New Zealanders
Short-term Medium-term Long-term
Reducing child poverty and supporting inclusion: expanding smart social
sector investment and helping those on the lowest incomes.
A continued shift towards investment in effective social sector interventions that
improve long-term outcomes, reduce long-term economic, social and fiscal costs
and focus on those most in need.
Sustaining the
wellbeing-
generating
capacity of
comprehensive
wealth (all capital
stocks).
Microeconomic and state
sector reform
Increasing the
responsiveness of housing
supply, improving natural
resource management and
lifting state sector
effectiveness.
Internationally-
competitive business
environment
Continued strengthening
of international
connections and ‘behind
the border’ policy
settings.
Long-term
productivity
Tertiary education and
infrastructure are two
key priorities for long-
term productivity
performance.
Environmental and
fiscal challenges
Managing the risks
and costs to New
Zealand of climate
change and
demographic fiscal
pressures.
Sustainability:
sustaining
wellbeing across
generations
Prosperity:
boosting
productivity and
international
connections
45. Investment Approach
Higher Living Standards
– the outcome for
investment approach
Key shift: broadening our
perspectives beyond fiscal
impacts and cost control.
Should be able to give
investment advice on
building the capital stocks
that takes account of the full
range of government levers,
and community or societal
impacts.
46. Ideal Picture
• Main focus is on investing towards sustainable wellbeing.
• What should we be investing in?
• What works – integrated electronic database on what is
working across the world and in different communities?
• Randomised control trials to test if “what works” is
actually working.
• Implementation through contracting for outcomes, using
a selection of delivery mechanisms – involving
communities.

• Recognising
both inequality
and difference
• Mechanisms in
Treaty
settlements
• Lessons from
elsewhere
58. By poverty I mean…
• Material deprivation and income - hunger, food,
housing insecurity
• Impact on social inclusion, individual.
Family/whanau and community well-being
• Reduced opportunities, fewer resources to break
out of vicious cycle
There can only be one conclusion
• Multi-facetted causal factors = multi-facetted
approach to solutions
59. Poverty - health impacts..
• Poor health outcomes
• Reduced life expectancy
• Increased psychological and emotional stress
• Increase in preventable diseases, injuries,
disability and death
• Inequities of access to and utilisation of health
services in a timely manner
