The future of #water supply will include: - Minimal water losses 💦🔧⏬️ - Energy positive wastewater treatment 💩= 🔥 💡 - Resources generated for local farmers & industry 🌽 - Centralised water reuse ♻️ - Decentralised reuse 🏢 - Democratised water quality data 📊 Any more?

Love the concept of duality. You can be a team player but also a solo superstar. A social, centre of the party extrovert but also at times an introvert. A busy person, and have slow days. Lead a healthy lifestyle, and sometimes enjoy a burger.

Have you seen that film… Have you watched that series… Have you played that game… Did you see that match… Errrr….sorry mate, I’m raising two kids, running a start-up and trying to keen sane, I’ll check those out in about 10 years’ time 😅

Content is King? Not anymore. Context is now King. In an age where content has become ubiquitous, accelerated by AI, context will rule. Creating authentic, thoughtful content that resonates with target audiences will become more important.

“Qatium generated a lot of interest across the business [...]. It forms part of our wider digital transformation journey which aims to embed new capabilities, positively impacting both our customers and employees.” – Andy Smith, Head of Smart Water, @AnglianWater Anglian Water Services, the largest water and water recycling company in England and Wales by geographic area, supplies services to almost 7 million people in the East of England and Hartlepool. While facing increasing challenges, from climate change to aging infrastructure, Anglian was also trying to address how to shift from reactive to proactive planning while minimizing the impact on their customers. Qatium was able to provide Anglian Water with an intuitive, real-time digital twin of their water network, enabling frontline teams to visualize hydraulic data, optimize system performance, and quickly assess operational scenarios. This accelerated decision-making, reduced reliance on modeling teams, and helped secure leadership buy-in within just three weeks.

I’m convinced the use of #AI tools will eventually become as common as googling something to help. Once you’ve learned to dial in the prompt, #GPT and others can be such a game changer to save time.

Content has become ubiquitous. It’s everywhere. There’s more content available today than we can consume in our lifetimes. Add AI-generated content into the mix, and I believe people are going to start becoming more selective on what they consume. In a world of disinformation, trusted and authentic voices marrying experience with opinion will start becoming even more important. #Weekendthoughts

Rewatching the original Matrix. How much of a mind blowing epic movie was this! Brings back a lot of memories. Just a shame the series went too far and mucked it all up.

Heard a great expression I wanted to share: ‘People above process.’ In short, always remember the customer and put yourself in their shoes. What would this mean to them? Too often organisations put internal processes above their product. Politics and often unnecessary bureaucracy above the external offering. It should be the other way round.

The @Spotify ‘song radio’ function could well be the best music discovery function in years. Genius. I always discover so many new artists and songs through it.

This Blue Monday, we’re embracing the blue.💧In the words of the late Dr. Wallace J. Nichols of The Blue Mind Movement, "It’s important we have some kind of practice that keeps us calm, creative, compassionate, collaborative and courageous." #BlueMonday

Despite its rapid advancements, there’s still something not quite right with a lot of #AI generated images and video. It’s missing something. Feels almost…soulless?

I now understand why my father, and snr men, have sheds and like to continuously tinker/potter about. Week 2 into the Xmas holidays and I’m ready to get back to a productive schedule. Admittedly, I’m not good at doing nothing 🤷‍♂️ Cleaned the garage, sorted bike, fixed a drawer and looking for next thing. At what age is it socially acceptable to start “shedding” - asking for a friend…

Can’t help but feel how Home Alone would have turned out if there were competent robbers?
