Delighted to catch up with Prof. Wolfgang Drechsler Wolfgang Drechsler in Bangkok after our last meeting in Prishtina.

I highly appreciate his support for Kosova's administrative reforms.

Discussing the implications of our Entrepreneurial State book (with Rainer Kattel & erkki karo, Yale University Press London📚) for the Indonesian PA reform with dozens of sr. civil servants was a highly rewarding challenge - thanks also to Eko Prasojo's excellent co-paper.

It is #Caturday & to celebrate, a thread on the cats of Morocco…

Really enjoyed my presentation at UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose on 'Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City: Great Sustainable Leap Forward or the End of Happiness?' today, chaired by Rainer Kattel. Great discussion, and surely not the last time I covered this topic.

Strategy meeting at UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose of our John Templeton Foundation 'Islamic Public Value' project - this time the entire leadership team of PI (myself), Co-PI Rainer Kattel and PM Salah. Planning the big May conference, a cornucopia of publications, and community events. And we're well ahead.

Today I had the opportunity to meet with one of the most prominent theorist in field of PA Wolfgang Drechsler . We discussed classics topics like NPM vs Neoweberian and of course reforms in Czechia. It was very inspiring meeting.
