I do think (and I've said it before) that it all needs a refresh - or at least a formal reflection. It has been a decade plus and there is too much dogma now. We (and I'm part of the problem) failed to be agile about it all - we missed out on the interate, iterate, iterate element! #fwd50

Stuart Brand's Pace Layers are great.

I was looking at ways to apply his ideas to government https://codepen.io/mgifford-the-typescripter/pen/qBoYKoP

Great Q in the #fwd50 chat about how we replace tech but culture is more resistant to change. Makes me think about pace layers -

.@acroll referencing salmon ladders in his morning #fwd50 talk. The concrete salmon ladders down the street from my house in BC were recently removed - they'd been thrown up decades ago, and were recently replaced with a more natural envt. Extra metaphor?!

Watching @acroll kick off @fwd50conf.
