Consider me to be a warning to you @trib / @acidlabsstudios 

(Another) warning:
 This talk shamelessly and lovingly steals from several attendees’ work.
 Gratuitous (and perhaps excessive) use of
 pop-culture references ahead. @trib / @acidlabsstudios 

– Too many expensive consultants (paraphrased) “Digital transformation will
 revolutionise business.” @trib / @acidlabsstudios

Notes from a recent project… @trib / @acidlabsstudios 

“To facilitate improved transition from the ADF to civilian life Defence and DVA will establish a taskforce to report back to portfolio ministers on barriers to effective transition and suggested actions to address those barriers.” @trib / @acidlabsstudios 

How do you help a community at high risk of injury through a significant life change? (Some already have high incidences of traumatic physical and psychological injury) @trib / @acidlabsstudios

“I can’t honestly give a good example, almost all the information given to me about my transition was contradicted later in the process which made things very difficult to understand.” @trib / @acidlabsstudios 

“I had no options as I was medically discharged and have been out on my arse for nearly a year… still waiting for DVA to do anything. I now have no job, no life, nothing to look forward to and no hope.” @trib / @acidlabsstudios 

“When I was in, I was told I was valued, respected and needed. I got sick and they couldn't wait to get rid of me, then promptly forgot I existed… I don't want to be bitter, but it’s hard not to…” @trib / @acidlabsstudios
