We all use '5 Whys' Problem Solving Technique - but ever wondered why it's 5 Whys - read this LinkedIn post to find out ....

Is Apple really worth the Apple premium? Absolutely not for me, and this sort of behaviour in the article is exactly why.
About 3years I switched from Apple iOS back to Wintel - just for the annoyance at the proprietary cables, dongles and walled garden. Yes, the design is great - but then Microsoft products became almost as beautiful - AND they come with the freedom to roam, to use 3rd party software, equipment, and have it all work.
So glad I made the move - and can understand why Apple hijacking open source 'USB-C' to lock users in would really annoy their fanbase.

The funny thing is that the android community mainly addresses this

Interesting article - and yes, the world has changed since Covid.
And will change even more with AI. And will keep changing.
All this means 'engagement' is more important than ever.
So how engaged are you, how engaged are your people, and how can we rebuild hope?

Between March and December last year, Australian productivity – GDP per hours worked – actually declined 4.1 per cent.

We are exploring iconic imagery to give us ideas for our new website - to launch soon - and a big thanks to Remy Gieling for this evocative image.

An amazing read - we were literally only days or a week from becoming an Italy or New York. Every day mattered.

We dodged a full-blown coronavirus crisis — for now. This data shows what happened.

Go premium Aussie EVOO!
Always have some premium Aussie Extra Virgin Olive Oil in your pantry - and give the European imported EVOO's a miss!!! I'll explain....
Over the last two years I have been fortunate to work with a Production Nursery in Mildura who propagate Olive trees for the Australian Olive Oil industry. I have learned A LOT.
The Australian Olive industry is quite unique - 95% of our plantings go to EVOO - very little to the lesser quality market of 'refined olive oil', and almost none to the lowest grade 'pomace' - which is chemically and heat treated dregs.
So our whole Olive Oil sector is focussed on quality, freshness and flavour - perhaps the best in the world!
We have the best climate for olives, and have avoided diseases now seriously impacting Olive orchards across Europe.
EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - is ALWAYS best fresh.
Australian EVOO is as fresh as can be, and has not been containerised on a ship coming across the equator.
Of course, we pay a little more - but I only use Australian EVOO where flavour is important. (For frying I use Rice Bran or Canola, for baking it's Macadamia, Hazelnut or other nut oils, for dressings - whatever suits the dish!)
So enjoy your oils, and the right oil for the right food - but know that Australian EVOO is the best in the world!

If an olive oil tastes fusty, musty or rancid it is not extra-virgin so check if it has passed the gurus' taste tests at Wagga Wagga.
