Christmas, Thanks, Reflections and Predictions
As we enter the Christmas period many start to consider the year ahead and wonder what it will hold for us all. I doubt even the wisest of us could have predicted what any of the last three years had in store, so should we expecting similar surprises in 2023?
We are bombarded with bad news, but for me there were many positives in the last 12 months. Nothing reminded me of this more than Ashley W. 's post a few weeks ago (here is a link) that drew on headlines from Postive News Magazine. It is worth checking out if ever you start getting paranoid about what is going on in the world. It is a breath of fresh air and I liked it so much I paid for a subscription.
Another year end post that I found inspiring was the DINCAST recording of an interview with thought leader Ruud Veltenaar by Disruptive Innovators Network . If you didn't see this, can I urge you to. It is particularly relevant to leaders in the social housing sector where it feels like we are having to deal with ever increasing challenges. There are few sectors like social housing where we can boast of having the most incredible purpose, which for me is to create environments, homes and communities that improve lives. We exist to create social value and in doing so we have the most amazing opportunity to make a real difference in society. That applies to the suppliers to the sector too, those such as 3C. If the services we provide do not support the creation of positive social outcomes, we should not be serving the sector. It should be core to everything we do. Our mission at 3C has always been to empower people to deliver social value through the better use of data and technology and we should never stop reminding ourselves of this. Leaders that think this way are far more likely to be fulfilled; far more likely to be an inspiration to others; and far more likely to succeed for those that share such values.

As we end 2022 and Christmas approaches, can all of us at 3C take this opportunity to wish you all an extremely Happy Christmas and hope you enjoy the festive period. Sincere thanks to all those that supported us - our staff, customers and suppliers. We trust that we were and will continue to be good partner and a positive force in helping you achieve your ambitions and indeed purpose.
It is inevitable that we will have to manage increasing pressure to change the way we operate in 2023. Remind yourself that it will not necessarily be the strongest of us that deal with this best, it will be those of us that are most responsive to managing change.
