3) Support for tall buildings is higher among younger residents, though a building's visual appeal is important to most.
4) Younger residents are more engaged with downtown and positive about HRM's economic growth.

I Thought Id Lost Everything, My Crops, My Savings, My Future! I'm a third-generation farmer, and like most of my family, I have weathered storms, both the literal and economic varieties. Nothing, though, could have prepared me for the flood that swept through my farm and nearly drowned my future. Over the past five years, I had amassed a $120,000 Bitcoin buffer in silence as a hedge against unstable crop prices. It was my shield against poor harvests and market crashes.
And then the flood came. It wasn't rain, it was the wrath of nature. Water flooded into my office, turning documents into pulp and sending my computers floating around like lumber. My hardware wallet, the sole bulwark between me and that $120,000, was submerged in muddy water. When the skies finally cleared, I held the waterlogged device in my hand, praying fervently that it would still work. It didn't.
Panic ensued. The soybeans were ruined, the barn needed to be repaired, and now my electronic savings, the one thing I thought was sacrosanct was gone. I couldn't tell my wife; she had already been up to her knees helping shovel sludge out of our home.
Desperate, I had put it on an agriculture technology site. I had cried and written, praying that someone somewhere would know what to do. A user responded with a username that turned out to be my savior, Salvage Asset Recovery.
I called them the next day, preparing for robot voice or a bait-and-switch sales pitch. But to my surprise, I spoke with human compassion, patience, and understanding. I unloaded my story, and they listened like neighbors calling after a tornado. They worked immediately, using fancy data reconstruction tools I couldn't even understand.
Every day, they updated me in simple terms. I was anxious, but their professionalism calmed me down. On the ninth day, I got the call. They had recovered my wallet. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was so relieved that I nearly kissed my filthy boots.
When they heard about the flooding damage, they even discounted part of their fee. That touched me more than the rain. Salvage Asset Recovery didn't just restore my savings, they restored my trust in people. They are heroes in my book, and thanks to them, my family's future is once again set on stable ground.

This presentation was delivered to a mixed sector industrial audience to provide a balanced view of why AI is necessary in many working environments, and further, how it can advantage the individual and organisation. It also dispels the widely held (media) view that AI will destroy jobs and displace people on a socially damaging scale. The really serious threat scenarios actually remain the domain of human players, and not as depicted by some Hollywood dystopian machines take over nightmare!
Primarily seeing AI as a downsizing opportunity is to miss the key point: by empowering employees it is the biggest growth agent!
The nonsensical nature of AI v human supremacy arguments also distract from the symbiotic relationships we are forging. This is especially evident when confronted by complexity beyond our natural abilities. For example: procurement and supply chains may now see >>60 independent variables (features and parameters) with many requiring real time control. Humans can typically cope with 5 - 7, whilst our mathematical framework fails at 5. This primal limiter also compounds the risks involved in designing for:
optimisation v brittleness v resilience
In this context, the digitisation process is largely regarded as an event instead of a continuum and this greatly exacerbates the risks involved. This is illustrated against the backdrop of several past tech-revolutions and the changes they invoked. Two ongoing revolutions are also included with projections for likely futures/outcomes.
The closing remarks remind the audience of just one observation that we all need to keep in mind:
Things that think want to link
and
Things that link want to think
The Will-Skill Matrix is an essential framework for managers and consultants aiming to optimize team performance. This model divides employees into four quadrants based on their levels of motivation (Will) and competencies (Skill):
1.Contributors (Guide): High Will, Low Skill
2.High Performers (Challenge): High Will, High Skill
3.Low Performers (Direct): Low Will, Low Skill
4.Potential Detractors (Motivate): Low Will, High Skill
