I’m sure we can all think of a product where the designers clearly forgot (or ignored) the primary needs of the user. The focus on form (the look and feel of the thing) has completely eclipsed the function (the usability of it). In my ruminations on this matter I am indebted to proto-modernist architect Louis Sullivan, who stated in 1896 that “form ever follows function”. In other words, for any given design it’s got to actually work, and then let’s worry about how it looks. And so it is in some sectors of the accommodation industry. The hotel design trend these days seems to favourRead More →

These days, as I contemplate the ride into the retirement sunset, I seem to be spending more and more time dispensing wise counsel. Of course, the managing director and I have agreed to differ in respect of my definition of wise. She posits that like Joe Biden, if you hang around long enough some people will assume an age and wisdom convergence while ignoring demonstrable cognitive decline. I counter that a capacity to write the previous sentence is testimony enough to my undiminished mental faculties. Took me two days to finish that sentence and at some point it included reference to a fishing trip, butRead More →

“I am not evading tax in any way, shape or form. Now, of course I am minimising my tax and if anybody in this country doesn’t minimise their tax, they want their heads read because as a government, I can tell you, you’re not spending it that well that we should be donating extra”. Kerry Packer November 1991, in answer to questions during a parliamentary enquiry And so, as end of financial year rolls around once more the immortal words of Kerry Francis Bullmore Packer ring truer than ever. One might even suggest that actual evasion should be encouraged such is the level of wasteRead More →

I was amused and horrified in equal measure recently. No, I hadn’t stumbled across a friend watching Married at First Sight, albeit my rare glimpses of this “entertainment” when I do witness such an event have left me somewhat appalled. The so-called MAFS phenomenon amazes me. I can only tolerate it in very small doses and only while heavily affected by gardening. My god! The premise seems immediately simple and confronting. Gather together a group of emotionally damaged and dysfunctional people, add a few mental health issues, stir in some misappropriation of real feelings and launch. What I found most disturbing was not the show.Read More →

Three takeaways: Hills to die on in management rights We often talk about the ‘hills to die on’ in management rights. And while that’s obviously colloquial, sometimes in management rights relationships there are times when you have to take a stand — and there are other times when you should roll over because it’s not worth the grief.  Reimbursement of expenses is one of those things.  Spinning out over spending Resident Managers often look at their agreements and argue they’ve got spending authority for $500 or $1000 per item or month; yet the body corporate is saying they can’t spend that money.  The reality isRead More →
