Half full.
22/08/2025 by: Professor David LloydI feel increasingly like William Shatner. In 1994. Before you ask if my medication dosages need to be upped, don’t worry. As Han Solo once quipped on the intercom from the control room of the detention centre of the Death Star, ‘…everything's...
Keepin’ on keepin’ on.
27/11/2024 by: Professor David LloydI realised this morning that if I didn't carve out some time, then 2024 would have gone down in history as the year with the fewest ever entries of 'Big Picture' blogs since records began 10 years ago. I couldn't allow that to happen - so it now...
Into the multiverse
16/05/2023 by: Professor David LloydThere's a really important bit in Avengers: Infinity War when Dr Stephen Strange astrally projects himself into 14,000,605 alternate futures to see how events will play out in each case - and determines that in only one of those possible futures...
On icebergs.
20/04/2021 by: Professor David LloydYou hear it often said that 90% of an iceberg lies beneath the surface. Unseen. But present. That's a fact of physics and the relative densities of ice and salt water. It's hard to imagine the unseen - but so much of life, and work, is unseen to s...
So what are we going to do about it?
17/04/2020 by: Professor David Lloyd'It's not the years...it's the mileage.' We could probably all make use of Indiana Jones' off-the-cuff quote these days. Institutionally, collectively and individually, we've taken a buffeting over the last few weeks and with continued uncertainty...
Quiet achievers
14/02/2020 by: Professor David LloydIt’s been quite the start to 2020. A little over six weeks into the year and already we have seen fires, floods, a global health emergency… Throughout the bushfire crisis UniSA staff were responding and contributing across the board. We applaud an...
The Senior Staff Retreat
26/02/2018 by: Professor David LloydWhenever I think about ‘retreats’ my mind instantly goes to Monty Python and The Holy Grail. ‘Run away, run away’. In typing that I realise that what I view as my popular culture references are now firmly in danger of becoming popular ancient...
One Team
16/04/2014 by: Professor David LloydI have to admit to being hugely influenced by the NASA approach to big challenges. The whole organisation unites to deliver – making, as NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said in Unijam, ‘the impossible possible’. We have no designs on taking on t...
Through The Big Picture, I hope that our whole community gains a greater and current appreciation of what is going on, how it fits together and how our activities connect and reinforce each other at a whole of enterprise level.
