"A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more" Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Of all its successes, I think this - the vision to be something more - in how we view, research and connect in organisations and the social systems within which we coexist, is the key tribute of the hardwork of DNA Wales. Throughout the journey of the last few years we have seen DNA Wales evolve and grow and in reflection the success both abroad and at home without doubt is a tribute to the passion, critical insights, spirited energy and most importantly vision of Paul Thomas (Director/Founder).

Paul, it is clear that this critical journey over the past year without you would have been nothing more than a picture of what could be ... be very proud!

Well done and a big thanks from all conntect with DNA Wales ... now take a holiday would you!!!

Wow... someone is out there...

Hehe.No I don't do vision. All I know is that yesterday the team were just magnificent. The energy and debate in the room was breath taking. I’ve always been a lone voice when in a room with other academics/industrialist. To be in than room yesterday and listen to the argument, belief and passion was wonderful and an honour.

It removed all the doubt I’ve had personally over the past 2 years dealing with quite untrust-worthy people, charlatans, rouges and bureaucrats, that what we are doing is right. It’s so right, even the first day of my holidays I’ve spent working on DNA, not for DNA or me, but to make sure you, the team feel this is working.

I also don’t think I’m wired for holiday or doing nothing. As my father says “you’re a long time dead, so I’ll rest then…”
