Office tomorrow due to my 2IC being away, then guiding Sunday as I don't yet have all my guiding team up to speed for the summer (and we're getting BUSY). And then it's Monday again so it all starts over. Lol, good thing I enjoy it
Finally, a day off! The joys of running a small business.... Off to our land to do some more work on the new woodshed, then hopefully out for a ride on the motorbike.
Back in the office today after a busy weekend away at a Cave rescue course in Takaka. Loads to do, but the sun is shining and I have a Real Fruit Ice Cream machine about two paces from my office door :)
Healthcare / diagnostics has huge potential - "AI" is really just advanced algorithms at this point and that's exactly what drives a big part of healthcare. (Further) Automation of screening tests, combined with AI matching up patient histories etc could change the face of medical treatment, cut waiting times, improve outcomes, speed up diagnoses.
Hard to say in specific terms. Generally, we've already seen changes to the Adventure Activities Act (after much debate and industry consultation) which will put a lot more emphasis on informed consent and risk disclosures for clients. There's also more emphasis on risks due to major natural events and having systems to identify and mitigate these.
Honestly, the chances to the Act have been pretty minimal, and I don't think this verdict changes that. What it does achieve is force the hand of shonky operators to come up to standard.
Interesting indeed. Article pitches the need to be a good thinker as a generic need, which I think misses the point. The need to be a good thinker is, I think, essential but highly situational - but I expect it's a practised skill, so there's no harm in applying it in 'non essential' areas. Maybe that then runs the risk of overthinking everything. But then maybe I'm overthinking that.
I try to remember that on the stressful days! But yes, super lucky, and so much better than what I used to do (corporate marketing)
