Some food for thought.

Our newsletter this month is on the topic of growth (in the broadest sense) - I've written a short blog looking at the growing 'wellbeing vervsus growth' debate we see in Wales.

Looking forward to launching my new IWA report on 5th December, Cenhadaeth Cymru: Mission Wales, which explores how, through applying mission-driven principles, Welsh Government can transform the nation and tackle our grand challenges.

I was at Welsh Labour conference this weekend gone - and this blog from Tom Watson sums up a lot of my thoughts.

Giving BlueSky a try.

So far my 'For You' page algorithm seems to be less into pushing fascists and pretty strongly into pushing library membership.

A good start.
