Blog postBehind the Scenes at Buy NZ Made in 2020 There is no magic bullet to productivity in business, but there are productivity levers that can reshape and reform how you get to the outcomes you want.
But you need to have a plan.
This article shows what activities Buy NZ Made focussed on in 2020 behind the scenes using the following productivity levers:
Outsourcing lever — delivering what you do with the help of a business partner.Automation lever — automating w -
Blog post2020 Book Review Books with multiple on-ramps, make it easy to go on a short journey and arrive back home with a satiated mind. The Practice is a compact prose yet packs in 219 (two hundred and nineteen!) on-ramps of opportunity. Here’s the five that jumped off the page as I read them — I take that as a sign these my signposts for 2021.
Mileage may vary for you.

Blog postShip Creative Work The Practice is the 20th book by Seth Godin and I hope it does for you what it did for me when I took a deeper inspection into Seth’s practice of merely shipping the work.
The next section describes the creative practice work I’ve shipped to help New Zealand businesses, in reverse chronological order. Some episodes didn’t work as well as I hoped, others blew my mind on how well they were received. A whole series didn’t quite work as I’d hoped… and along the -

Blog postWhat to consider before decided your provenance strategy. You don’t have to label your product with the ‘New Zealand Made’ Kiwi trademark. There are many alternatives and in this article we look at 6 alternative approaches that might work just as well for you.
1. Write ‘New Zealand Made’ On Your Product You don’t need to show a logo. You could simply write the words ‘New Zealand Made’. As long as the country of origin claim you are making is not misleading, then you are within -
Blog postThere is so much that can be learnt from our peers. Getting better at business is an incremental process and one thing I know about Kiwi business owners, is we’re interested to hear what our neighbour is up to.
We’ve all had that moment when you meet up with someone who sparks an idea that you take away with you… despite having no intention of that outcome at the outset! That was when cafe’s were our second workplace.
So how do you create serendipity in your business d -
Blog postSharing uniquely Kiwi stories that are contributing to New Zealand’s future. Kiwis love to hear what Kiwis get up to.
Stories resonate. Stories get retold.
So of course a podcast that featured A Kiwi Originals made sense.
Now you can copy the playboook for your own membership organisation.

Blog postThis isn’t new. Network connectivity has made it easy for distributed teams to collaborate for two decades. My first remote job was in London 2003.
Covid-19 forced Zoom use so that even grandma is confident now.
Workers who need an office, probably prefer a better home office.
Earthquakes are telling us that centralised working can be risky.
Covid-19 might be almost done, but the shadow it casts will remain.
Suburbs will make a comeback w -
Blog postIt’s Hard To Find. It’s Hard To Buy. It Costs Too Much. These three complaints I hear on our social newsfeeds and in too many cases, Kiwis are exactly right. Here’s why.
NZ Made Is Hard To Find In Big Box Stores. Of course it is. That’s the point. Big box retail preference scale and volume of product imported from overseas…not quality. The low price sticker has trained us to buy on price per product not total cost of ownership (TCO). OK… so explain…?
It means you b -

Blog postCovid-19 has made it a whole lot weirder. Embrace it. I never thought that New Zealand’s business future would get this weird when I wrote “New Zealand’s Weird Business Future’ as a prologue to 100% Kiwi Business.
In the first paragraph I imagined how we would self select the groups we wanted to join digitally. 18 months later and here we all are, witnessing collections of our friends and family and hobbies all through a Zoom lens.
More than that, we’ve participated an -
