Great vibe. Awesome music. Yum food. Amazing location. Had a fun evening at the opening of #Generator @ #GridAKL in the Innovation Precinct of Auckland. Listening n learning from the coolest kids in Innovation in New Zealand - Meeting n mingling with Mayor Phil Goff and startups, this truly felt like the beginning of a new chapter in Auckland's technology-driven, innovation-led future. A new era of tech entrepreneurs in a city where business can thrive and talent wants to live... 👏👍🏆✔💪 #innovationdaygridakl #CONGRATS #Auckland #NZ #Ateed #AI #AR #VR #tech #business #innovation #growth @NewZealandTradeandEnterprise #kmasocial #coworkingspace #innovate #launch #workspace #newtech #auckland #funvibes #amazing #music #electric #atmosphere #love #instamood #picoftheday #smile #swag #cool #TheSweetmixKids #architecture #building #design #wynyardquarter (at Generator at Grid AKL / 12 Madden Street)

People say they are innovating but aren't actually for the same reason I have a fake LV bag hidden in my wardrobe. They want the shiny thing everyone loves, but aren't really prepared to put in the hard yards to get there.  I wrote about the dangers of focussing on a ‘culture of innovation’ without having a wider think about the whys and the hows of the pursuit of innovative results.
