A New Hope.......
A future we COULD aim for?

A New Hope.......

Whoever the parents are, have said it's ok for me to hang out down the virtual park with The Digital Twin Fan Club.

They seem to tolerate my Construction Metaverse ideas and are very accepting so far. I'm testing my boundaries, which it turns out is absolutely fundamentally crucial for the easy management of surfaces used in Design for Machines. <- PM content :-)

They said: "OMD, here comes a slew of politically inspired UK construction industry predictions."

We sit here on the 5th July 2024 with an opportunity for little old me to get in first and write a piece on how the construction industry is going to respond to the new regime.

This time next week, your eyes will be fizzing with that eye burning effect of reading too many lines on a backlit screen. I look forward to reading it all.

The bottom line, in my light political experience is that these guys, the new kids on the block, might well listen. The ecomony needs something, and it is up to us, as professionals, to say when we think crazy ideas that win favour, might not be the best thing.

The future is bright. We have a lot of expertise, lets make sure our politicians use it.

In other news I listened to Baroness Floella Benjamin at lunchtime.

So inspiring.

She reminded me to smile,

that every disappointment is an appointment with a better future,

and

Consideration, Contentment and Confidence were the three Cs that you can deliver to offer hope to everyone you engage with (especially the youth). Remember to deliver those three Cs with a fourth - Courage.
