The kids love museums!

My Stories of the World feature has appeared in Museums Journal but it's behind a paywall so no link is possible. Museums are exciting for most people over 30 but if they connect with young people that's really something to shout about. I was pleased with this article because it shows why worthy is not so dull - this is the way we inch ahead as a society.

After Footlocker and JD Sports, is the NHS next?

Just ghosted an opinion piece for CIHM which has gone up on Guardian professional. Do we really want patients to think of themselves purely as customers, with the potential for footstamping and tantrums that entails? It may have some short-term benefits but ultimately it encourages mindless individualism, the last thing the NHS needs. What is needed is true patient engagement and consumerist discourse works against that. Check the full argument out - by CIHM's brilliant Becky Malby and Irwin Turbitt - here .

Saving money on government property

Have just written an article for Construction News on property vehicles. It's the news analysis, State property revolution looms large . The government wants to secure huge savings by managing its built estate more efficiently. Fantastically interesting - partly around the complex deals that already exist and will have to be worked through, partly around the new styles of partnership that could emerge. But where I was particularly grabbed was around the culture change that may need to take place on the supplier side. Can construction firms and contractors champion government goals around efficiency, can they battle civil service inertia on behalf of the executive? It's not what they normally do!
