As the City of Victoria conducts what outreach workers say are deadly sweeps of Pandora Avenue, those who facilitate unhoused individuals into addiction rehabilitation centres say there’s not enough spaces to meet the needs of those who are left on the capital city’s streets.

“What I’m faced with is, where am I sending them?” said Theresa Reeve, executive director of the relatively new non-profit Westcoast Recovery Outreach.

Reeve says private treatment centres only take a select number of government-funded clients, leaving empty beds open for higher paying private clients.

“I could fill up their treatment centre if they would allow me,” said Reeve. “But they only let a few government-funded beds. We need to increase those government funded beds. These people deserve a chance just like everybody else.”

“People having to wait anywhere from two weeks to three months waiting to get into a detox bed is not acceptable. We need a better system now. We just had an election about. Where are all the beds they promised they were going to build?”

The Minister of Health told CHEK News in a statement that her government is adding new services without specifics.

Daily Inspiration: "Are you big on buzzwords and short on substance?" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I'm preparing for an upcoming keynote later in November for an organization that just booked me, and asked them to share a bit of insight with me as to their current strategies, structure and innovation mindset.

It was a bit interesting to discover, when I found among the documents they sent me, this one around their strategic planning process. I'm not sure I am allowed to share it, but thought that I would because it just provides so much context!

Memo: Strategic Adaptive Realignment for Forward-Looking Innovational Synergy
To: Leadership Team
From: Office of Transformative Future Pathways
Date: October 12, 2024
Subject: Catalyzing Hyper-Responsive Strategic Convergence for Next-Gen Ecosystemic Optimization

In today's hyper-dynamic paradigm, our strategic scaffolding requires immediate recalibration to future-proof against emergent disruptors and catalyze omni-directional innovation vectors. Our adaptive modalities must transition from linear, hierarchical constructs into multi-faceted, cross-collaborative frameworks that can flexibly pivot in real-time to align with macro-trajectory shifts in ecosystemic trendspace.

We must galvanize our operationally holistic alignment mechanisms to actualize a seamless innovation pipeline that is consistently enmeshed with quantum-transformational goals. The gravitational pull of tomorrow’s meta-disruptions mandates an immersive symbiosis between agility-centric governance and outcome-centric synergistics.

By harnessing our core competency in proactive adaptation, we can transcend traditional growth inhibitors and actualize a new dimensionality in value creation.

And today, I have a Zoom call with the Chief Architect of Synergistic Quantum Evolution and Holistic Innovation Convergence!
