Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead! I’ll be spending mine visiting a few nurseries, hunting for some outdoor plants — wish me luck with my new green thumb adventures! 🌱
I also wanted to share a special promotion that might be valuable to you or someone you know:
👉 My team and I are building websites at up to 75% less than market value as part of a short-term promotion through www.esperion.io....
Our latest client: www.cascadeelectrical.co.nz...
👉 We’re also hosting them completely free for life — saving hundreds each year on Squarespace or WordPress fees.
If you or someone you know could benefit, please feel free to call me directly on 021 1234 365 / hello@esperion.io or pass along my number. I’d be happy to chat or even meet in person for an initial consultation (based in MIlford, North Shore).
And to finish on a lighter note:
A bossy man walked into a bar…
And ordered everyone a round. 🍻
Cheers,
Callum Sutherland

Keen to see a fluffy royal albatross live? Head to the Royal Cam - a 24-hour live stream of an albatross nest.
Why the live feed? Well, the royal albatross are slow-breeding birds, and lay only one egg every two years.
Currently the chick in the feed is in its post-guard period, and is left alone. The parents are only returning with food every few days. This little chick will be hitting a milestone really soon - it will finally take their first flight in September! Keep an eye on our little celebrity here.
We hope this link brings a smile!

The Victoria Theatre Trust is a separate charitable entity from The Vic Ltd, which operates the cinema. While The Vic Ltd brings stories to life on screen, the Trust works tirelessly behind the scenes to preserve and maintain the 113-year-old heritage building and upgrade costly cinema equipment.

• Install new, comfortable seating
• Improve the cinema experience for audiences of all ages
• Support the ongoing preservation of this iconic building

A scary word that can make people uneasy—and for good reason. According to The Post, more than a third of New Zealand’s public services have recently faced it.
But why is restructuring the go-to strategy for driving change?
In The Post’s article 'Reaching for change: Is our public service obsessed with restructuring?', doctoral candidate Annika Naschitzki from Victoria University is trying to understand repetitive restructuring.
New Zealand’s public service is often seen as risk-averse, slow-moving, and stuck. But interviewed staff indicate that they want change, that change is needed ... just not through restructuring.
Naschitzki doesn’t mince words: “We always have the same issues, but we keep trying to fix the same problem with the same hammer we've been using for decades.”
Are we leaning too heavily on structural change when real transformation might lie elsewhere? Perhaps through training, resourcing, tools, and practice, as Naschitzki suggests.
What do you think?
Is restructuring the right tool for meaningful change, or just a habit we can’t seem to break?
If you are wary of restructuring, how can we do better?
