Strengths

Traditionally fast to adopt innovative technologies and lead with progressive governance.

• ANZ with CCIP by Chainlink

Instead of thinking as Kiwis living overseas as brain drain, we should think of Kiwis living abroad as a network of ambassadors and potential sales force.

Culture

Flowing rugby demands alignment of decision making across people with diverse range of physiological gifts to coordination effectively to synchronise in achieving a common goal. Better decisions, taken faster, executed effectively wins the game.

• Cannot play free flowing rugby without a strong platform
• Focus on following process and the right results typically follow
• Best teams have strong links to their community
• Use storytelling to build culture and ensure newcomers feel they belong
• Win the collisions, win the game

With AI and open source protocols everything can be copied easily except culture

Opportunity: Must become better at exporting culture. Go any major city in the world and you find an Aussie, Irish, South African or English pub.
