March 24, 2019
CONGRATULATIONS to @Goldman Sachs for the demonstrated commitment to ending the gender inequity in their company and the contribution it delivers to the economy. I and many professionals in the world applaud you. The article and commitment below however, doesn't infer perfection, or discuss any of the other systemic changes that Goldman Sachs are/are not making now or into the future. What it does shout out is that this Company has taken a positive step that recognises the FACT that if women, of all colour and creed, do not achieve their full economic potential the global economy, including the 50% of it that are male will suffer the consequences.

March 12, 2019
We live in a wonderful time when the world around us in which we live, love, work and play changes every minute. What excites me the most is the fact that I am fortunate enough to be in the mix as a thought leader and change maker. I actively participate in furthering development and social impact through challenging the norms and placing education at the intersection of business improvement and advancing the profound impact of frontier technologies such as blockchain, AI and VR/AR. However, one of the most incredible outcomes of this environment is simply the conversation initiated about change and the need for cohesive ecosystems and collaboration.

Digital Ledger Technology: Initiating a positive conversation about change.
linkedin
February 19, 2019
This #NewYorkTimes article is yet another in a long line to ignite scepticism, mislead the mainstream economy and demonstrate the critical need for mass high quality and consistent education about frontier technology that includes distributed ledger technology. Perhaps the writer needed to be at #LondonBlockchainWeek2019 and listen to the loud and clear positive message and future, inclusive of frontier technologies, education and adoption by the economy, particularly for massive social impact. It is at these events where the real conversation is being ignited by the advocates for technology and social change.

The 2017-18 ASQA Annual Report is no revelation. The entity although called the Australian Skills Quality Authority is focused on regulation and audit management, not quality. It also has no capacity to mange or promote quality and innovation in education. Moreover, who audits and manages ASQA and manages the complaints about their own compliance failures?

Who'll lead the change required in eldercare and the ageing sector now?
linkedin
September 16, 2018
I should be feeling ‘at last’ about today’s announcement for a Royal Commission into Aged Care. I’m not. That todays announcement of a Royal Commission into ‘aged care’ has been delineated by ‘residential care facilities, including those that house young people with disability’ shows the total lack of genuine knowledge by the government. Don’t get me wrong, a Royal Commission is a sure way to highlight the worst case scenarios, and hopefully action punitive outcomes for those who’ve broken the law, but like the banking and financial sector Royal Commission they leave the end consumer falling way short of justice, answers and resolve. I want to know who's going to lead the change required without waiting to hear again what we already know?

In case you missed it, the Senate Community Affairs References Committee released its Report into the Future of Australia's aged care workforce. It has only taken a mere 18 months. Sadly, the 19 Recommendations, like all other reports before this, are likely to never to be actioned, or of they are, will take so long that the very workers will be in end of life stage! Moreover, there is nothing new in this Report. There is nothing we don't already know.

2 Book Chapters
Blockchain Impact: Success Productivity Innovation
Projectis Publishing
June 01, 2021
This is not just a book about blockchain, it is a block of the blockchain. Its entire contents have been converted to a hash which is printed on the back cover. De facto demonstrating how blockchain can be used in book publishing to protect intellectual property and create immutable records.

As far as could be verified, this is a world first. No evidence has come to light of any book hashed and put on the blockchain by any publishing house in history. Blockchain Impact! has a hash on its back cover alongside a QR code and ISBN barcode. But what is a hash, and what is the point of hashing a book?

The answer to this question, and a specific use case of the blockchain technology, i.e. publishing, is revealed in the book. It explains how Blockchain Impact! puts into action some of the suggestions to protect authors made in the UK Parliament by its consultant editor, Dr Christian de Vartavan FLS FRSA. However, this is just one of many such questions Blockchain Impact! answers, and one of several practical and fully functional use cases of blockchain that the book showcases. Seventeen senior company executives (mostly CEOs) and leaders in their fields, some former or current university scholars, belonging to 15 companies from around the world ranging from Daimler (Germany) to the NHS (UK) via Plastic Bank (Canada) and Copperwire Systems (USA), show how they have implemented blockchain with success in their own businesses.

This book is also unique because never before have so many chief executives contributed to a single book about blockchain to testify that blockchain works. Blockchain is a commercial game changer for those who learn about it and want to achieve more for their companies or projects. From space satellites, supply chains and FinTech, to healthcare, climate action and education, blockchain is raising the bar for security, privacy, productivity and innovation. This book shows that its impact on our world is not only already economically and technologically transformative, but scarcely at the cusp of its potential.

Finally, Blockchain Impact! presents a firsthand account of how the blockchain technology was invented as its consultant editor is in direct contact with one of blockchain’s founding fathers.
