@pandaemoniumnow I’m so sorry about this Andrew - you have been such a force for good, for thinking and reimagining for Bristol. I just hope this takes you to a wider stage because the qualities you bring are so needed

My final day as director of Bristol Ideas, the last day of the company, but we go out on a high with an event by Jackie Kay, the publication of fine research on Bristol Broadsides, a new video interview on the Labour left, and our new book on our work. Thread below.

@martinsw There are so many lessons around creativity in Get Back - we will be drawing them out for years - would be a great seminar

@theasnow @petersenge @johnvkania @mohara14 @graham_iff @HilaryCottam @ProfDonnaHall @tobyjlowe @CPI_foundation @LeadbeaterCh @jeneralife Thea thanks for always opening out these discussions. In my conversations people don’t worry as much about failure because they know how to work within and with boundaries - the harder thing is for ideas to be absorbed and scaled - where might that fit?

Preparing for a talk on leadership in complexity. Here's what I've come up with, drawing on ideas from @petersenge @johnvkania @mohara14 @graham_iff @HilaryCottam @ProfDonnaHall @tobyjlowe @CPI_foundation @LeadbeaterCh and @jeneralife - would welcome comments and suggestions!

This tour of Rajiv Surendra’s NYC apartment is a joy to watch m.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uo2no…

He had a great zest for life, a love of cinema, wonderful humour and good wine and food - he lived a great life 9/9

Made a film in the style of Fellini in order to entice Fellini to visit - the person entrusted to deliver the film was too shy to do so but they had so much fun making it, they didn’t mind 8/9

Jaime Lerner was the most imaginative city leader - always finding completely lateral ways to add life to Curitiba - loved hosting him in Adelaide back in 2003 - some of the lesser known things he did ...1/9

This is such a great idea of Yoko Ono’s - it could play out in many directions - we gather together to mend

@Stef_W This is such a moment of opportunity - landlords will fight but once offices get blown up into tons of different options housing will be next

I got so angry with the back to work BS I wrote a blogpost (after working all sodding night). Let that be a lesson to you Boris link.medium.com/rnmbr9rY1eb #places #towns #highstreets #cities

This would change everything #bikeeconomy

@RileyResearch @ndrlee @AndyWWestwood Go for it Rebecca - this is interesting stuff

@ndrlee @AndyWWestwood Not sure my back of fag packet calculations would stand up to it... but would be interested to look at it further, will have a think. It links to the capacity issue and Green Book. Difference between good business case v bidding

If I wanted to estimate the total cost of local authorities bidding for a competitive pot, what would be the best way of doing it?

@anthonymobile There is so much potential here

@ImagineUntitled I love this idea & curious about what cities are doing - the idea to give trees email addresses in Melbourne was one way to create a relationship

“ ....changes will be so rapid, so exponential, we will have difficulty, even in our mind’s eye, at comprehending their scale and implications — let alone planning for them. All the more reason our imagination must be leaping, not being at all relaxed and comfortable.” Keating
