Josh NuttallNotes of gratitude
Did I ever think that I would end up where I am today when I left school? The very short answer is no. A slightly longer answer requires me to turn back the clock a few years and paint a picture. When I left school I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. There was plenty of indecision and many questions that I couldn’t find the answers to. So, I was encouraged to start a broad undergraduate degree at the University of Cape Town. When I say broad, I truly mean it as...
Josh NuttallCapturing the imagination of generations that have gone before us
This is being written in the early morning while I await for my connecting flight from Dubai to South Africa. Currently in transit on my way back from spending some time in Amsterdam and Spain over the last month. Travel shifts one’s perspective — it gets you to listen in different ways, gaining inspiration from sights and sounds. As the plane made its approach into Dubai we were granted a view of the city. As the pilot turned the plane to line up with the runway our reference points on the h...
Josh NuttallReimagining electrical power supplies
Can we reimagine the way electrical power is supplied, managed and delivered? At present the world at large is dealing with multiple challenges across various scales, geographies, and scenarios. At times it feels like we are struggling to navigate the 2020’s, battling the decisions made over the last twenty years and unsure of how we should take the next step towards the future. Unable to move past 2010's. If I zone in on my local context currently as I sit in South Africa, we have an im...

As we build.
How might we ask better questions?
Ones that pay closer attention to our spatial context?
Allowing us to think in stories. Creating shared narratives that are attune to our environments, not separated from them.
Giving ourselves time to reflect. Recognising the influence that our decisions may have on the future.Practicing an appreciation of time. Seeking to avoid errors that have been made before during periods of transition.
Through asking better questions we can become better connected to and part of our surroundings.
What are the lessons that we can glean from earlier shifts in technology? What are some of the key features that helped to give the internet utility and provided access to information?
How might we recognise the relevance of spatial context, with out letting it curtail the muscle of imagination? This is linked to giving customers what they need, not what they think they want. Human beings are inherent irrational. To do this though we need to ask better questions to shape our imagination in ways that are valuable and meaningful to the communities we are seeking to serve.
