The dark side of public innovation | ANZSOG

Corruption?

Lack of controls?

Why do you think the way you think? Why do you do, what you do? Why do I, do what I do?

I’m sharing this piece by Leon Atkinson because I like the cut of his jib.

This is what the inside of my head looks like. This is how I think through problems, risks and consult stakeholders so that I can do what I do.

“Why do you think the way you think? Why do you do, what you do

? Why do I, do what I do?”
