All the other pages on this site are concerned with exploring and extending and illustrating the idea and the practice of Psychologically Informed Environments, including the new PIEs assessment process, the Pizazz, in its paper or software forms.
This page is different; it introduces some suggestions on the future - and the future role - of this website itself.
To boldly go
If 'Ambition and modesty' describes the past, and Costs and sustainability outlines a way that income from the new PIE Abacus can fund a future development of this work, let us look now still further.
In 'Is this the future of academic publishing?' we explore the scope for bringing research, policy and practice closer; and at the same time increasing the scope for income and re-investment in the complex needs sector's work.
In 'Is this the future of vocational training?' we explore the scope for developing vocational training that introduces students to live and interactive discussion between students and working staff, and service users, in ways that no university course can do. This is not supplant such courses, but to support and supplement them, in the ways outlined in 'Is this the future of academic publishing?'
In 'Is this the end of micro-management and the New Public Management? we explore the extent to which the PIE approach, and the Pizazz. may offer a way out from the principles of distrust and disempowerment that imposed a growing stranglehold on creativity in services over the past 30 years.
NB: This all echoes the collection of essays on the earlier pages on The ethics and politics of PIE.
